"Whatever your mother says, just listen. No need to answer, yes!" dodi said as she placed a warm kiss on the top of Arini's head.
"Yes, Mas. Of course," answered Arini, smiling warmly at her husband.
Dodi rushed her foot out of the room with Arini following her from behind. When passing through the front room, Dodi and Arini had passed by Bu Nining who had just finished watering his favorite plant.
Bu Nining bent her face while throwing her face away when she came face to eye with Arini. His regret for his son-in-law was already at the top of the crown. As for Arini, no matter how sick her heart was at that time. He kept trying to bring a warm smile to Bu Nining. The woman he had considered to be like his own mother.
Dodi stroked Arini's hand which was hugging her arm. He looked at the woman while speaking. "Prophey, dear."
Arini smiled. "Mas, just calm down. I'm fine, all right."
In front of their house. Dodi immediately approached his car which was ready to be driven to a company, where he worked as a Personnel Manager.
"Mas Dodi" Arini said before Dodi entered his car.
"Yes?" Dodi turned around then looked back at Arini who was now looking at him with a sad face.
"What's up, honey?" ask Dodi wonder.
"Today's Mas Dodi payday. May I ask a little of that money to buy a new shirt? My old clothes have been broken, Mas. Can, huh?" arini said with a clear face, hoping that Dodi would be willing to grant her request.
"Yes, take. Later tell Mom that you have asked me for permission," said Dodi while caressing Arini's cheek.
Arini's eyes looked teary. He was very happy because Dodi was willing to allow him to buy new clothes. "Thank you, Mum."
"Yes, already. Go first, yes!" connect Dodi who then immediately get into his car. The man waved his hand at Arini, before he darted away with the four-wheeled vehicle.
"Bye, Mas! Be careful on the road, yeah!" said Arini half-shouting as he waved his hand to Dodi who had come out of their yard.
Bu Nining flicked her lips at Arini's action at that moment. He watched the movements of his daughter-in-law from behind the glass curtain of their house.
"Heh, is he not ashamed to show his face to the neighbors next door? Being married for six years is not pregnant. Look at the daughter-in-law of the next door neighbors, just married a few months if they are already pregnant," grumbled Bu Nining.
Arini smiled as she moved her feet into the house. She was so happy that Dodi allowed her to buy new clothes for her to wear on the wedding day of one of her friends next week.
For six years married with Dodi, Arini never once whined to ask to buy her necessities. Bu Nining always reminded himself not to be wasteful in using money. Even including to buy clothes and personal items.
However, today he ventured to ask for it because the clothes he used to wear for the condangan have been damaged. He was embarrassed to wear that shirt again. Until everyone was memorized by the color and model of his clothes.
"Are you not ashamed of your next-door neighbor, Arini?" said Bu Nining as Arini passed by.
"What do you mean by mother?" arini asked astonished by the eyebrows that were clinging to each other.
"Let's see them!" Bu Nining pointed towards the house that stood firmly right in front of their house. Seen a pair of husband and wife who were cool to accompany their tiny baby.
"The age of their marriage has not been a year, but they have already got a baby. As for you, heh!" Bu Nining smiled sinisterly looking at Arini.
Arini breathed heavily. "Arini wants to, Mom. Arini has been trying her best to get pregnant. But how else? God isn't ready to give Arini a chance to be a mother."
"Have a lot of reasons! Tell me if you're actually barren, right? Don't avoid it anymore because the evidence is real. Take a look at your late uncle and aunt in the village! Even until they died, they still did not have a child, "sadly Bu Nining.
Arini's heart was torn to shreds when she heard the humiliation of her mother-in-law. However, she still tried to be stoic and obey what her husband said. Let Ms. Nining say what, just listen and don't respond.
"Yes, already. Arini, excuse me, ma'am. Arini still wanted to take a few rooms," replied Arini who then waltzed away from the room and let Bu Nining grumble there nonstop.
"Hhh, amit-amit baby! May Dodi open his heart and not be the same fate as your late uncle" his grunts half-cried to make his voice sound to Arini's ears.
Arini remained silent and finally she arrived in front of her room. He went into the room and like what he said to Bu Nining, he immediately went to several rooms that still looked a little messy.
Not felt, the sun has risen and is right above the head and that means the time has shown at 12:00 noon. Arini's work was done, the woman chose to stay in the room while occasionally playing her phone.
Suddenly the flat object vibrated, a chat message notification entered his phone number. Arini immediately opens a chat message that turns out to be from her husband, Dodi. Slowly Arini began to read the chat message then not long after, offended by a warm smile that curved across her face.
"Thank God," he murmured.
In the message, Dodi says that his salary has been entered and has been taken by Ms. Nining. With a carefree heart, Arini came out of her room. He wanted to see Ms. Nining and asked for the ration that Dodi had promised him to buy new clothes.
Yes, all this time Dodi's salary money was held and controlled by Bu Nining. He assumed Dodi's money was entirely his property. Another case if Dodi and Arini have children, then he will give the full rights of the money to Arini.
Arini didn't bother about that either. Yes, although in fact he is a bit difficult if you want to buy his needs. Like this time, when he wanted to buy clothes for her, he had to ask Bu Nining first.
Arini searched for Bu Nining's whereabouts and finally found the middle-aged woman sitting in a lounge while watching television. The woman looked seriously watching the event that was going on. The woman did not even realize that Arini was nearby.
"Mom," said Arini.
Bu Nining was surprised and he immediately turned to Arini. "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Ehm, Mum. Actually I'm ...."
