Not a Stupid Woman
Chapters 2.

Areta's hands clenched, her chest rising and falling as it held back her emotions from exploding. His eyes scoured all corners of his house that looked messy with snack packs and cold drink bottles strewn everywhere. In front of him, a pair of young people were busy watching tv and hugged until they were unaware of his presence.

"Kimkamura!!!" Pekik Areta made the two teenagers turn their heads.

"Eh, is Reta home yet? Vanya this laper, Ma'am." Reply to Areta's sister-in-law without guilt.

"Kok you can be here? You're dating at my house?" Areta looked at the two teenagers in turn.

"Np... No, that was me, Ma'am. My head's dizzy, so Devan anterin I'm coming home. Andrias also knows kog." Zevanya who looked a little nervous, while the teenage boy beside her could only bow without daring to make a sound.

"Now you tell your friends to come home, then finish everything you can eat." Areta's orders are upset to see her house fall apart due to the actions of her sister-in-law.

"Don't you think Reta is so cruel now like a stepmother." His unaccepting Zevanya sir-in-law was ruled by his brother-in-law.

"Yaudah, if so I'll go home, Van. Excuse me, brother." Pamit teenaged Zevanya who only avenged Areta with a nod of the head.

"Sir, that's Reta Ma'am bringing food?" Zevanya asked as she pointed towards the pocket of crackles carried by her sister-in-law.

"Yes, why?" Reply Areta flat.

"Laper Mbak, from this afternoon belom eat this." Zevanya stroked her own stomach.

"Belom eat? Lah keeps this junk snack so much the same drink, who's Vanya?" Areta's annoyance that is inexhaustible with the behavior of the teenage girl in front of her.

"Hehe, isn't it just nyemil, Ma'am? Not eating, so still this hungry." Zevanya repelled showing off her rows of teeth.

"Just you clean up all this garbage can just eat, Mommy wants to take a shower first just prepare dinner." Ketus Areta stepped towards the kitchen leaving Zevanya who stomped her feet in annoyance.

...****************...

Lazily, Zevanya began to take a broom to clean up the scattered garbage. Suddenly, the girl remembered something.

"Ah... I was going to Arisan, definitely not cooking. Mumpak Mbak Reta buy good food mending me call Mom just let come and eat here." The Zevanya monologue then took the device from the pocket of his high school uniform.

Tuutt.... Tuuttt.... Tuuut...

"Hallo Vanya, why did you call Mom? It's the afternoon you also belom home from school, wandering where the hell are you?" Cerocos Bu Lastri on the other end of the phone.

"I'm at Reta's, Mom. I'm here, yes, I saw Mrs Reta buying food from the restaurant. It must be delicious." Said Zevanya in a whispering voice.

"Well, I happen to be cooking belly. Yaudah I'm there now." Reply Bu Lastri then turned off his phone call unilaterally. Without Zevanya realizing that Areta was standing behind him and heard all the talk between her in-laws and her sister-in-law.

Areta slowly returns to the kitchen unnoticed by Zevanya. The woman arranged two pieces of fried chicken flour, two salted eggs and a bowl of kale on the dining table. Not to forget he kept the rest of his side dishes in the kitchen cabinet.

Tokk tookk!!

The sound of the door being knocked. Areta of course could already guess who came to her house, lazily the woman stepped her foot forward. Zevanya had opened the door for the uninvited guest.

"Reta, I'm really tired of the arisan, so don't cook. Can you come to dinner here?" Bu Lastri asked his daughter-in-law.

"Bye, Mom. But today Reta did not cook, just buy a side dish just now." Answer Reta politely.

"Yaudah, if so let Mother and Vanya eat first. I'm so hungry." Reply Lastri Bu who immediately pulled his Zevanya hand to the dining table. Areta could only shake her head at the behavior of her in-laws and sister-in-law.

...****************...

The eyes of Bu Lastri and Zevanya immediately broke when they saw what had been presented at the dining table.

"Bright.... Eat this good we're Van." Chirps Bu Lastri while scooping rice on his plate with a mountain portion.

"But this is just two pieces of chicken, ma'am. Then what will Andrias eat?" Ask her mother.

"Oh, let's eat first. Your Masmu business let it be thought of with that Areta." Reply Bu Lastri who had started to bribe his food, Zevanya nodded then started to take rice and side dishes to fill his stomach. Just as the two of them finished eating came the sound of knocking on the door, of course it was clear that Andrias had just returned home from work. The mother and son immediately stepped into the living room without tidying the table first.

"Lhoh, are you here?" Andrias asked as she kissed Mom's hand.

"Yes, I picked up Zevanya because I did not have time to cook so ride here to eat. But sorry yes, your wife bought a side dish just a little so it's been eaten by Mom just as much as Vanya." Cerocos Bu Lastri without shame.

"Eh, yes Ma'am. No kog." Reply Andrias with a tail of eyes that glanced towards the wife.

As usual, Miss Lastri and Zevanya left without saying hello let alone thank you. Andrias immediately approached Areta and looked at her face fixedly.

"What did Mom say? There are no side dishes? How much kog can I eat with Zevanya doank?" Andrias asked with a suppressed tone of voice.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that Zevanya was here and Mom just suddenly came." Reply Areta held back the resentment in her heart.

"So that's Zevanya sick, keep calling me he said he wanted to rest here. Coincidentally at lunchtime yaudah I just went home for a while to give the keys to the house to him." Andrias Terang.

Kruuukk.... Kruuukk.... Kruuukk....

Suddenly, the sound of Andrias' stomach struggling to fill made Areta break her big laugh.

"You're the laper, Mas?" Areta asked the husband after his laughter subsided.

"Yes, but the side dish is over." Reply Andrias flat.

"Yaudah, you take a shower. Let me prepare the food first!" Tell Areta, Andrias nodded then stepped towards the room.

Areta immediately cleaned the dishes of Bu Lastri and Zevanya then prepared some side dishes that she stored in the closet. A few pieces of chicken crispi, salted eggs, fried gurame and kale chalks have been neatly arranged on the dining table. Areta smiled and went to the room to call her husband.

Cekleek.....

Areta opened the room door slowly, and it was Andrias who was sitting leaning on the head of the bed while playing her dress.

"Mas, let's eat!" Take Areta who nodded at the edge of the bed. Andrias nodded then the two walked towards the dining table. Instantly Andrias eyes sparkled when he saw some dishes that seemed very appetizing had been arranged neatly on the table.

"Waaahh.... It's as good as it is, you bought this where Areta is?" Ask Andrias while serving rice and side dishes that have been taken by Areta. The woman was able to serve her husband while eating.

"Here I bought when I got home from work, Mas. I deliberately set aside for dinner for both of us." Reply Areta who started chewing her dinner.

"So you're hiding all this lest you eat me?" Ketus Andrias paused his eating.

"Yes Mas, you know that I will definitely wrap all the remaining dishes. And if I don't leave it to us, you're definitely eating rice with doank sauce." Reply Areta cuek, Andrias was silent for a moment digesting the answer that was thrown from Areta's mouth.

" Yaudah, but next time don't do it again." Reply Andrias then continued his dinner.

...****************...

After dinner, Areta accompanied her husband to watch a football show on television. Not to forget the cup of black coffee that he made specifically for the husband.

"Mas!" Call Areta to her husband.

"Hmmm." replied Andrias with a still focused look at the television screen before her.

"When I came home, it was Zevanya here with the same guys." Areta tries to tell Andrias about Zevanya's behavior.

"Max you Devan? He was the one anter Zevanya came home. Maybe he's waiting because he can't bear to leave Zevanya at home alone. He's sick again." Andrias' reply casually made Areta snort in annoyance.

"But just then I entered see them again embrace Mas, where the condition of the house is a mess. Full of junk again." Upset Areta remembers the incident this afternoon.

"Udahlah Reta, there is no way Zevanya dare to date. Oh yeah, how is it? When did you quit your job?" Andrias asked shifting the subject.

"Embh... That I haven't thought about, then, Mas. If we already have enough savings for the cost of natural and the needs of our prospective children later." Areta's reply made Andrias cluck in annoyance.

"Ck, just your excuse. It is difficult to fulfill the desire of the husband. And it's also for the good of you and our children!!" Andrias' voice began to rise.

"But, Mas!!"

"Enough!!! Lazy I heard your stale reason." Cut Andrias out before Areta finishes her sentence.

The man got up from his seat and stepped towards the door.

Bra!!! The door was slammed hard by Andrias. Areta stepped wide to catch up with Andrias. The man was sitting on his motorcycle.

"Boy!! Where are you going?"
