Not a Stupid Woman
Chapter 4.

"Srst." Areta puts her index finger on her lips as a code to keep Raisya quiet. The woman let out a long sigh then shifted the green button on her smartphone screen.

"Hallo Areta, really long pick up the phone. Later Vanya's mom wants to have dinner at your place. Mum's cooking again." There was a sound of Bu Lastri's cry that made Areta slightly keep her phone away from the ear.

"Yes, Mom. Can kog." Answer Areta slowly.

"Jaudah do not forget you prepared a good meal and a lot. Don't kayak yesterday, buy a side dish just a seuprit." The orders of Bu Lastri are without sin.

"Yes, Mom." Areta answered briefly then the call was turned off unilaterally by Miss Lastri. With an annoyed face, Areta put her phone back in the bag

"Who's on the phone?" Raisya asked wondering who had made his best friend's face sour again.

"Mother Lastri Hadiningrat, my in-laws are the most extraordinary socialite." Areta answered and then grunted.

"Haha.... Why are those magical mothers, the morning phone tumben gini?" Raisya's laughter broke upon hearing the answer from her best friend.

"You have dinner at home and he asks for good food and a lot of course." Again Areta's answer made her best friend laugh amusedly.

"He asked for a lot, if only he could bring it home." Raisya said making Areta again roll her eyes lazy.

"But why did you rent it anyway, Reta? Usually you relax if your in-laws and sisters-in-law eat at your house." Raisya added curious at the attitude of his other friend than usual.

"Raisya cantiiik, today Mas Andrias payday. Definitely Miss Lastri asked for rations and of course bigger than my monthly shopping money." Reply Areta showing her face.

"Geez, that's your mother-in-law for money." Raisya Wonder.

Elsewhere, Andrias was busy with a stack of report files on her desk.

Drrtt.... Drr.... Drr.....

Feeling the phone in his shirt pocket vibrate, the man immediately shifted the green button when he saw the name of the mother's contact on the screen.

"Hallo Ma'am, Assalamualaikum." Sapa Andrias said hello.

"Hallo's handsome mother's son, today you pay, right?" Ask Miss Lastri on the other end of the phone.

"That's it, yes Mom. Today's payday, what's up?" Andrias replied with a bit of nervousness.

"Kog what the hell is it!! Yes rations Mother donk, love Mother half ordinary kayak yes. Tomorrow I'm going to Arisan, have to buy a new bag of clothes." Pinta Bu Lastri on her son.

"But..."

Tuuttts.... Tuut..... Tuuut.....

Pangilan was broken by Bu Lastri before Andrias finished his sentence.

"Bylli!!! Where this morning has promised to be more in Areta rations again, can this world war later." Andrias then resumed his work that had been delayed.

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

It was late in the afternoon, Raisya and Areta walked out of her office.

"Dad!!" Call Areta to her best friend.

"Yes, why is Areta beautiful?" Reply Raisya while putting on his helmet.

"Well, what food would you buy! Where's there in-laws asking for more good food." Areta complained about wasting her rough breathing.

"Hisch... Ngawur, love my pancakes if taken with Miss Lastri." Areta then laughed crisply.

"Yaudah sono, I want to go home. My son must have been waiting at home, you ride his bike do not fad. I'm pregnant again young." Raisya's message then sends his iron horse.

Areta immediately rushes on her bike then follows Raisya's advice to buy beef rib soup and some extra side dishes.

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

Just now Areta turned her motorcycle to the yard, it appears Andrias, Bu Lastri and Zevanya have been sitting sweetly on the porch of her house.

"Kog on the outside, why don't you go to Dalem aja?" Sapa Areta who just got off her motorcycle by carrying the rib soup package she bought earlier.

"Yes, wait for you to come home. This is the same mother Zevena wants to eat together here she said." Andrias' words make Areta mangosteen.

"Yaudah, come in. Let me prepare the food first." Take Areta and enter her house.

After cleaning up and changing clothes, Areta immediately warmed up the beef rib soup she bought and arranged it on the dining table with rice and other side dishes. The woman stepped into the living room where her family was gathering.

"Yeah, we're eating!" Take Areta, the three of them immediately went and walked together towards the dining table.

"You just bought this Areta?" Ask Bu Lastri who had already taken the rice.

"Eh, yes Ma'am. Reta was in a hurry." Answer Areta as it is.

"Jude, if there's any left, I'll take it home. Mother does not cook, usually if the malem the Vanya likes to be hungry. It's okay if there's no side dishes." Said Bu Lastri while putting rice into his mouth. Areta did not respond, only throwing eyes at each other with her husband.

After eating, Areta cleaned the dining table and washed the dishes without an offer of help from Bu Lastri or Zevanya.

"Areta, haven't washed the dishes yet? Hurry here!!" Call Andrias half-screaming, with the woman's giant steps walking into the living room.

"This is kog, what's wrong?" Areta asked who was quiet beside the husband.

"Areta, today's a payday mom's son. Mom needs money for the gravestone, so half the salary for mom. Here's a million for you, which five hundred thousand had been taken Andrias for rations of cigarettes." Bu Lastri's great-grandson held out ten pieces of red money to his son-in-law. Areta received the money without saying a word.

"Oh yeah, the rib soup was still there, right? Wrap it up, let me take her home." Miss Lastri's orders to Areta.

"Do you want to get plastic or take your pancakes with you, Mom?" Areta asked idly while raising her eyebrows.

"Heh, you brash ghost. You want to make me ashamed of the pot tile from your house?" Upset Miss Lastri heard the question coming from her daughter-in-law's lips.

"It's not that, Mom. Maxut Reta right if brought the same panc, it's rib soup can keep warm after arriving home later." Areta lied while holding back laughter.

"No need, you'll be able to warm up after you get home." Reply Bu Lastri, Areta nodded then headed to the kitchen and returned with a bag of crackers filled with rib soup requested by Bu Lastri.

"Here, Mom." Areta extended the parcel to her in-laws.

"There's this same cracker?" Tanya Bu Lastri peeked at the contents of the crackle bag in her hand.

"She, Mom. Everything is Areta wrapin for Mom, including sambel lime as well." Areta answered with a forced smile.

"Judah if that's how Mom and Zevanya go home first." Ms. Lastri then stepped out of the house with her Zevanya without saying hello or thank you.

Areta looked at her husband with an annoyed look then was about to step into the room.

"Areta!!"
