Not a Stupid Woman
Chapters 16.
Zevanya's steps stopped because of the lights that turned on suddenly. In front of him stood the waist-rigged Lastri bu staring at him but instead made Zevanya exhale with relief.
"Huh, I'm just ngagetin. Vanya kira mas Andrias or mbak Areta who nyalain the lights." His wife's annoyance at her mother.
Chequek...
Suddenly the door to Areta's room opened from the inside. The woman was intending to take some water but instead saw her sister-in-law who had just returned home towards midnight like this.
"Vanya? You just got home? It's a really late night, it's not good for girls to come home late this night." Cecar Areta looked towards Zevanya with narrowed eyes full of probing.
"Yes, calm down. Petrol motor Mbak I filled a full tank." Said Zevanya immediately pulled the hand of Lastri's bu towards her room. Areta immediately took a glass of drinking water and downed it then returned to the room.
"Vanya, what are you doing tugging at mom's hand like this? Sick tau!" Sewot bu Lastri who felt pain in his wrist.
"Emank I would like if mbak Reta continued the constant nagging mas Andrias wake up and anger us again. I know now Andrias belain mbak Reta mulu." Reply Vanya did not lose the sewot.
"Yes, too, eh how? Did you get the money?" Ask Lastri's mom to her daughter.
"Well, a million. Mommy's five hundred, I'm five hundred." Vanya answered giving five pieces of red money to her mother.
"Duh, the daughter of the most beautiful and kind mother. Now you sleep. I'm going to sleep again, too." Tell Lastri's mom who came out immediately after getting money from Zevanya.
The teenage girl immediately locked the door of her room then sat in front of the mirror and watched herself with a look of disdain.
"This is all because of mbak Reta who has brainwashed Andrias until she does not love her mother and sister anymore." Zevanya Monologue, immediately after that the girl threw her body into the bed to rest.
...****************...
Early in the morning Areta had been awake from her sleep, having done her two day duty. The woman rushed to the kitchen to cook the in-laws' order of beef rib soup. Do not forget to make potato parchment and fry shrimp crackers as a complement.
The food that had been cooked immediately he arranged neatly on the dining table then returned to the room, cleaned himself and polished his face with thin makeup.
"Even if I don't work, I still have to look beautiful and attractive in front of my husband." Gunam Areta stared at the reflection of her father's face in the mirror. At first glance, Andrias was writhing the sign of having just woken up from her sleep. Areta rushed to her husband in bed.
"Let's wake up, I'm cooking." Areta then kisses the husband's cheek.
"Hulma.... You smell so sweet, baby. I took a shower." Andrias hugged his wife's body.
"Udah donk, take a shower. I'm waiting at the dinner table." Tell it to the husband.
Areta immediately went to the dining table after waking up Andrias and it turned out that there was already a Lastri bu and Zevanya there.
"Where are you going? Early in the morning and so?" Ketus bu Lastri saw Areta's appearance that remained beautiful with her distended stomach.
"If at home do not need to groom, wasteful make up. You are not working anymore now. So you must be self-aware, which make up you wear all branded. Spend the money." Sindir bu Lastri with a loud voice until it sounded in Andrias' ear.
"What's this about? How early in the morning is it so noisy?" Asked Andrias who had just nodded in his chair.
"This is it, Andrias. I just nasehatin your wife, now it's not working. So if at home mbok yes no need to dance. Boros, kasian will you work hard later out just to buy'in make up your wife." Lastri's ma'am replied full of charade making her son's eyebrows knit.
"Embh... I guess what mom says is true too. At home, you do not make up anything. You stay pretty. We save, yes, just a moment you want to be born also." Andrias's chirps seemed to be like her mother's.
"Yes, yaudah let's eat. I'm hungry." Upset Areta while taking rice for Andrias.
"Zevanya, you want to go to school with Mas or ride a rickshaw?" Andrias asked her sister after she finished breakfast.
"Embh.... What if Zevanya went on his bike Mbak Areta aja? Isn't Areta working now?" Said Zevanya smiling slanting scorn his sister-in-law.
"Yaudah, you use your motorcycle for school. Your mom is not working now. Your pocket money." Reply Andrias handed a sheet of twenty thousand to Zevanya.
"But, Mas." Areta was about to ban Zevanya but stopped because she saw Lastri bu glaring at her.
"No, let the bike be Zevanya. If you have to take public transportation. You don't work now." Andrias said holding his wife's fingers. Areta simply responded to her husband's words with a small nod.
The woman drove the husband to the front door and then went back in to clean up their food marks. It looks like Lastri who just finished finishing her favorite rib soup.
"Areta, settle down. Mom finished eating. Don't forget to wash Mom and Zeva's clothes! My clothes are in my dirty basket." Lastri's ma'am order, Areta could only nod slowly. Then start cleaning the house and washing clothes. While Miss Lastri cool sitting relaxing while playing her dress, like an employer who watches her maid work.
Areta, who is tired of her homework, chooses to order food online for lunch. Rice field became his choice because there was only he and Miss Lastri in the house.
"Gofood!!" Shouted an online motorcycle driver from outside the door.
"Areta!!! There's good stuff!" Shouted Miss Lastri from the living room made Areta stumbled to walk towards the door. The woman went back in with a bag of crackles.
"What is Reta?" Tanya Bu Lastri glanced at the hand of Areta who carries a bag of crackles.
"This is rice field, ma'am. Do you want to eat now?" Areta's bargain to her in-laws.
"Can you take my mother's plate with that spoon!" Lastri's mom orders, Areta walks towards the kitchen then returns to hand the dishes and spoons to Lastri's mom.
"That's so bad for you, love to buy food from outside." Oceh bu Lastri with a full mouth.
After eating, Areta immediately went into the room because she was lazy to serve the ramblings of Lastri who always blamed her. The woman grabs the phone above the nightstand, looks for Raisya's contact and then looks at her best friend's number for a moment.
"Call no yes, want to confide but fear Raisya worry and disrupt her work." Eventually the woman chose to abandon her intentions. Let him live all this until the rest of his patience is exhausted to face his mother and sister-in-law.
