Not a Stupid Woman
Chapter 37
"So Areta's actually dating that guy?" andrias asked her sister.
Zevanya smiled obliquely at the question from her brother, "From what I see, Mas. Which is really friendly again, even though in public places."
"Here you go, just let Areta go out with anyone. You if you have not been accepted with Areta yes just look for another woman," said Miss Lastri who just entered the room.
"yes I'm right, but who's the girl, Mom?" andrias asked her mother.
"Woman Areta came across the street with you at the mall at the time, what was her name?" Bu Lastri remembered the figure of the woman who made Areta sue for her son's divorce.
Andrias smiled remembering the figure of the sweet black girl, "His name is Wulan, Mom. He's a new employee at Andrias' office."
"Why don't you approach him, but if you want to approach him you should first eliminate your drunken habit" said Miss Lastri giving advice to her son.
"What do you mean by mother?" andrias asked with both eyebrows linked.
"You see for yourself now, Areta who is patient like an angel has left you. Especially other people, certainly will not want to know your bad habits," said Miss Lastri ketus.
"Halah .. lazy, Mom if you have to change that. Andrias also needs to have fun, after all I should be cool if Andrias is single. Mother's monthly ration is more and more," Andrias replied to lay her body on the mattress.
Lastri immediately pulled Zevanya's hand out of the room, staring at Zevanya's face that looked more radiant than usual to make the soul of Pastri's mother struggling.
"You look like you're really cool, what's up?" ask Lastri's mom to her daughter.
"Yes, ma'am. I saw who I was being driven home with. Same Devan, and that means I have another mine of money, ma'am. No need to be confused about what the school ride is because it is certain that every day will be picked up by Devan," said Zevanya proudly.
Bu Lastri sat on the floor, regretting his misbehaving educated Zevanya and Andrias. Zevanya frowned at the look of sadness on the mother's face.
"Mom why does it look so sad? You don't like me going out with Devan anymore? Not that it was my own mother who told me to turn him back," said Zevanya who was now sitting next to Lastri's mom.
"I'm sorry, Vanya. I miseducated you and Andrias. Our condition now makes the mother aware, the mother also has a big sin because it has been arbitrarily the same Areta before," said Miss Lastru reminiscing about her past.
"Oh Mother, don't have to. Zevanya wants to take a shower on the same path as Devan," Zevanya reply passed to the bathroom.
Miss Lastri was pensive, regretting what she had done to her former daughter-in-law.
"I'd better go to Areta's house to apologize for meeting my granddaughter, even though I'm evil but Areta always cares for me. Now that there is no Areta, there is no more attention to me," the monologue Miss Lastri who immediately took her bag and wallet in the room.
The middle-aged woman went silently without saying goodbye to her two children. Bu Lastri decided to go to Areta's house by taking an angkot in order to save costs. Towards Maghribh, the middle-aged woman arrived at her former daughter-in-law's house.
Slowly, Miss Lastri knocked on the door of Areta's house until a while later, her ex-daughter-in-law appeared from behind the door with a surprised expression that she could not hide.
"B ... What's wrong with you here?" ask Areta who is still shocked by the arrival of her former mother-in-law.
"May I come in, son?" reply Miss Lastri with her own face. His appearance is now simpler, the hair that starts to whiten he just let it go. No longer painted with a bright red color like before.
"Let's go in, Mom. I want maghribh." Areta took Lastri's hand and sat her down on the couch and headed to the kitchen and came back with two cups of warm tea and a jar filled with snacks.
"Areta, I want to apologize" said Miss Lastri without daring to look at Areta's face.
"I'm sorry for what, ma'am?" ask Areta who is still confused.
the chatter was interrupted because Bian was crying loudly, Areta immediately went to the room to give Bian milk. Unexpectedly, Lastri's mother followed into Areta's room.
"May Bian's mommy, son?" pinta Bu Lastri looked at her granddaughter fondly.
"Oh, may you." Areta gives Bian to her grandmother, and is magical. This time Bian smiled at the sling of Lastri's bu.
"Hallo dear, granddaughter is now great huh. It's pinter, handsome again."
"Mom, Biannya put it in the stroller first. We eat together, Areta cooked vegetable soup, the same parchment fried chicken," Areta asked her in-laws. Bastri nodded then they headed to the dining table.
As before while still living in this house, both of them ate in silence. Only the sound of the twang of the cutlery clashing with the plate coupled with the occasional sound of Bian's babbling was heard. But there is something different this time, after eating lastri bu helped Areta to clean the dining table and wash dirty dishes.
"Taste you so good Areta, I love it," praised Lastri's mom after they returned to the couch.
"Thank God if you like it, there's still. Then I'll take you home, yes" Areta bargained, Miss Lastri nodded happily.
"But this is already malem, or mother nginep here aja ya. Let Areta call Andrias, she must be worried that mom won't come home later," Areta added, a little confused.
"You're wrong Areta, Mother's children won't care even if I don't go home. You don't have to worry, later let me ride an online motorcycle taxi, "reply pastri bu who is busy playing with Bian who is in his lap.
The two women of different generations were engrossed in chatting while playing with Bian who had now begun to be active, until suddenly the sound of the door of Areta's house being knocked by someone.
"Well, it must be Andrias who came to see me. Let Areta open the door first." Areta immediately rushed to the front followed by Lastri who had a tail behind while holding Bian.
Areta's eyebrows are linked because apparently not andrias who stand in front of the door, but Rivan with a few boxes of food.
"Mas Rivan, what's wrong?" ask Areta to the man in front of her.
"I just want to give this to you for dinner" replied Rivan holding out a bag of crackles in his hand.
"Thank you." Areta smiled faintly receiving the food parcel from Rivan.
The man was a little surprised to see the whereabouts of Lastri's bu there.
"Eh again there is a guest turns out, if so excuse me first. Afraid of bothering," said Rivan after greeting the hand of Miss Lastri.
Areta simply nodded, letting Rivan back into her car. The woman again closed the door after Rivan's car came out of her yard.
"Arese ...."
