My Husband's Love Is Not For Me
32. Eating At Home Barrel

Danu kept following where Laras' bike went, this night he found it strange why his wife was still on the street. He forgot his uneasiness at Jasmin who had not yet returned home.

Motor Baras stopped at a cake shop. He parked in front of the store and then entered the store, long he was in the store. Danu waited in the car, occasionally glancing at her clock. It was eight past thirty, but Laras had not yet left the cake shop.

Before long Laras came out with a bag of crackles containing groceries. Somewhat bothered Laras took him, but he could handle it. From inside the car Danu still noticed Laras tidying up his groceries, only after that he immediately left the store and went straight home.

Danu still followed Laras until entering the housing. Danu was surprised, he did not realize that he was still following Laras to his house. He wanted her to come back, but she had followed him so far.

Now that his intentions have changed, he will visit his first wife's house. The one he kicked out first because he was found to have brought people into his house. Danu's car slowed down, and he noticed the Baras motor entering the house at the very end.

The house is still the same shape and paint from the house it was bought. There were only two seats in front of the house, and finally Danu stopped his car in front beside the house Laras. He hasn't come down yet, he sees Laras take down his groceries and bring him inside the house.

"He's still alone in that house?" said Danu.

He went down and stepped slowly. Stop in front of the bamboo gate of the house Laras, hesitant to go inside. Suddenly, his stomach rang. Forgetting that tonight he had not eaten anything, he was busy thinking that Jasmin had not yet returned home.

The barrel came out again, he was about to take the item that was still on the motorbike. Danu turned around, but dear Laras found out that her husband was in front of her house and greeted her.

"Mas Danu?" sapa Laras hesitated.

Danu stopped, then turned slowly and now faced Laras. Laras approaches and greets her husband, though he knows for sure that one day Danu will divorce him. But as long as he's still his wife, he'll respect her even if he's been kicked out first.

"Mas Danu's here or on assignment?" ask Stale base barrel.

It's night, there's no way Danu's on duty. So it's just a stale saying, Danu knows it.

"So late, so you guys wanna see your house that I bought for you. Are you at home?" ask Danu.

"Alhamdulillah mas, thank you ya" said Laras smiling.

Danu sneered thinly, then saw the house Laras was still the same. His stomach rang again, until Laras heard it. Danu was embarrassed, but she kept quiet.

"Mas Danu's hungry, yeah, I made some food inside. Did Danu want to go inside?" ask Laras.

Without answering, Danu stepped towards the house of Laras. Inside the house there is only a carpet, there are some items that were bought at the cake shop.

"Sit down, I will make food for Danu mas" said Laras.

"Yes." Danu replied briefly.

He sat on the carpet, his eyes rolling around. Looks two rooms in front of the living room, there is the name Laras in the front room and the next room is the name Dian. He squinted his eyes, he guessed Laras was his friend. Did he bring people to accompany him?

The barrel came out carrying a tray containing rice on the plate and also the side dishes. She put it in front of Danu and let her husband eat.

"Eating the mas, there is only chicken soup and also the mushroom pepes that I cooked" said Laras.

Danu took his plate and poured the vegetable soup into his rice. Then take the pepes that have been opened by Laras. He ate it, his stomach was very hungry. He ate so voraciously, for some reason eating this time was so delicious in his mouth.

Laras watched her husband eat voraciously, and she smiled. Her cooking was eaten by her husband, although she had not eaten herself. But it was better for her husband to eat first.

After it runs out, Laras takes the empty plate that has been used up and then brought to the back. Take another pot of water, because it looks like Danu is thirsty.

"You live alone?" ask Danu.

"No mas, there is a child from the parlor who helps me here" replied Laras.

"Are you afraid of being alone?" ask Danu again, just flat.

"You open a business? What effort?" ask Danu.

"Make a cake." answered Laras again.

Danu was silent, two months he did not send money to Laras. Though still his responsibility, still his obligation as his wife. But two months did not send money to Laras.

"You're happy to do that?" ask Danu again.

"Yes, just for my activities."

"Good, if you get away from me. At least you still have your own income if I don't give you money" said Danu, forgetting that since Laras moved he hasn't given money to Laras.

Want Laras to talk, if he's not sent any more money. But Laras kept quiet, letting Danu realize it for himself. Or maybe she let Danu remain her husband even though she had not lived for four months.

But it looks like Danu realized that she's not giving Laras any money. He took his phone and opened his M-banking.

"Your account number is the same?" ask Danu.

"Still in."

Danu typed in the nominal account of Laras, then sent him the money to his wife's account.

"I've sent money to you, the contents of his house. I'm sure you don't have a bed, do you?" Danu said.

"Not yet."

"Heh, where there is money you buy the bed and the mattress" Danu sneered.

The barrel is silent. For him it was common Danu always sneered at him, even snapped at him. But he did not reply and responded to Danu's remarks.

"You stopped by here on purpose?" ask Laras.

"I was just passing by, just so happened to be on your way alone. I feel sorry for the nights you still roam the streets, so I followed you home. You should thank me for keeping you safe at home" Danu said haughtily.

"Thank you, you followed me. But I used to go home by myself this evening" said Laras, a smile on his lips.

Although Danu said arrogantly, at least she stopped by her house and ate her cooking voraciously.

"I'm home. Next time don't spend the night on the street."

"Yes, um."

Danu came out of the house of Laras, she seemed to forget her problem with Jasmin. Laras escorted her husband to the front of the fence and endured it.

"Be careful Danu. And thank you for your equal attention to me." said Laras.

"God! Who is your equal attention? I still don't even like you" Danu said, her tone was not as usual.

He got into his car, his mind went awry. Why is he so concerned for Laras, doesn't he hate her so much?
