Chapter 9
Today Azizah went on a motorcycle to school. He intended to visit his parents for a while after returning from PAUD where he taught.
Azizah visits her parents' house for only 1 hour because she has to go home and cook for her in-laws because she gets a message from Rela that she cooks in the boutique kitchen and their mother-in-law don't want to eat kale stir-fry. Want to eat sour vegetables with fried tempe added sambal terasi. So, Azizah was asked to market according to Mama Fatonah's request.
"Bring, rip this grilled fish off. Your father-in-law and husband, love this mother's cooking," said Ms. Rosyidah as she handed him an elongated box.
"Thank you, Mom. Just know the likes of brother Irwan and mama," said Azizah and received a box containing some fish in it.

"Ma, this is a grilled fish cobek given by the mother. Want to eat with this or want in sour vegetable dishes," asked Azizah.
"Well, there's fish! Mama wants to eat with this alone," replied Mama Fatonah when she saw the medium-sized fish presented in the container.
As Azizah was serving meals for her in-laws, Aunt Rose came to the dining room. He had just returned from a sightseeing event after spending the money from Irwansyah.
"What are you cooking?" aunt Rose approached the dinner table.
"Tante Rose wants to eat grilled fish?" ask Azizah.
"Don't like it, the smell of fishy and rancid," replied Aunt Rose as she closed her nose when she saw Azizah showing the fish that had now been moved to the lodor plate and neatly arranged.
"Tumben's home?" mama Fatonah asked after washing her hands because she wanted to eat.
"Of course, Brother. The five hundred thousand dollars took just seconds to spend. Irwan's a stingy now, huh?" aunt Rose quipped.
"You should be grateful. My son still wants to give you money. He now has two wives. So, of course, the dependents he increased as well," said Mama Fatonah.
"Ahk, anyways why Irwan must marry again. I think Rela has become the perfect wife for her. Is he dissatisfied with one wife?" aunt Rose said.
"Rose, watch what you say!" snapped Mama Fatonah. He didn't like it if anyone cornered Rela. For her Rela is the perfect woman and her kindness makes her willing in polygamy.
"Don't be angry, brother. I'm talking what it is. In the past, if I visited here and wanted to go for a walk, Irwan gave me a million or two. But now ... only five hundred thousand. If only Irwan did not have a wife of two, surely he would give more money," said Aunt Rose with a cynical look at Azizah.
"As far as you are. I want to eat" replied Mama Fatonah because she could not wait to eat.
"Azizah, make me rendang!" aunt Rose's Titah.
"Sorry, Aunt. The stock of beef was up because yesterday everyone wanted to eat beef steak. So, Mama and I cooked everything. The stock in the refrigerator is shrimp, nuggets, and chicken meat" Azizah replied.
"What's? How much beef do you buy? It can only be cooked once," said Aunt Rose in a satirical tone.
"We bought 2 pounds. Yesterday we made 14 pieces of steak. Even Aunt Rose herself said, the meat is tender and asked for more" said Azizah.
'Look at you, Azizah. I will repay you for this.'

Aunt Rose went to visit Irwansyah's grocery store. The grocery store is large and has 3 floors with dozens of workers.
The woman who still looked young at her age who had stepped on the head of four was up to the 3rd floor. He knew on the floor was Irwansyah's resting room and the mosque was also the kitchen and bathroom.
He heard Irwansyah's laughter with his family. She patted her cheeks and went to the bathroom dripping water on her eyes.
"Iranian .. Irwan!" call Aunt Rose as soon as you enter the room Irwansyah who is gathering with her family.
"Tante Rose, what's wrong?" ask Rela as soon as she sees the woman crying.
"Auntie is hurt by your second wife. Aunty time wants lunch not to be loved," said Aunt Rose while putting up a sad face mimic.
"Times, Auntie? 'There's a lot of food in the fridge?" asked Irwansyah in disbelief.
"What does Aunt Rose want to eat?" ask Rela because she believes Azizah would not do such a thing.
"Tante just got home from the streets. Then, Auntie asked for food because she was hungry. He has not cooked and instead scolded Auntie," he said again with a lie.
"What does Aunt want to eat, until Azizah is angry? The request of the children was strange, Azizah often cuisine," asked Rela staring at Aunt Rose.
"Miss doesn't like fish. Prefer other meats. Aunty likes the same rendang cuisine as you made yesterday the day after tomorrow. He was angry with Auntie instead" replied Aunt Rose with both hands busy wiping the water on her cheek.
"It looks like the beef stock in the fridge ran out all we cooked, Bang. So Azizah couldn't make it. I think so," said Rela while directing his attention to Irwansyah.
"Then Auntie ate with the ingredients in the refrigerator and asked Azizah to cook it," said Irwansyah still looking at her aunt..
Aunt Rose is upset about Azizah. Now more and more irritated his feelings by Irwansyah.
"Tante wants money. Want to eat at the restaurant. Aunty is already in pain with your second wife" said Aunt Rose as she stuck her hand out to Irwansyah.
"Tante, eating in a restaurant will not be enough with a little money. In the kitchen, there is rice and side dishes. Aunty just eat it," said Irwansyah because her aunt would not want to eat at the rice stall on the side of the road.
"What's? Tega you Irwan, told Auntie to eat the same food as the store employees," said Aunt Rose refused.
"Oma Rose, don't like picky food. The teacher said that it was not good" said Oliv who had since noticed the drama that was being made by young Oma.
