Not the Idle Wife
Accepts requests

Jelita fluttered as she spread her gaze around the garden of the tropical modern-style mansion in front of her.

"Well, just in the yard is so good, what else is in there," Jelita's mind admires the beauty of the yard full of colorful flowers and well-preserved, like a flower garden.

"Lho, Jelita, why are you still standing there, dear? Here, we go inside!" call a middle-aged woman who still looks very beautiful and younger than her actual age. The woman is Melinda who is the wife of a successful businessman and is the mistress in the luxurious house in front of Jelita now.

"Yes, Jelita, don't stay there!" this time the voice was a man who had a baritone voice, and was the husband of the middle-aged woman. The successful man named Ganendra Maheswara, has a myriad of businesses both in the field of property, hospitality, restaurants, cafes and education, which is under the auspices of 'The Sky Group'.

"Eh, I-yes, Tan, Om!" sahut Jelita, nervous and resumed his steps, with eyes that still did not stop looking around.

Arriving at the door, they were greeted by two women, who bowed respectfully, so Jelita bowed her head in return for the respect she received from the two women.

"Good day, Madam, Master!" greet the two women at the same time, as if they were trained.

"Good day too!" sah

"Come in, baby!" Melinda, grab Jelita's hand and take her inside.

True to Jelita's guess, the appearance inside the house was very beautiful, luxurious and elegant. All the materials and ornaments in the room can be sure is expensive.

"Certainly, I will be the daughter-in-law of this house? or am I just a dream?" jelita whispered to herself with her mouth slightly open and eyes wide scanning every corner of the room.

Yes, that is the reason Jelita is in that mansion, not to be a maid, but to be Ganendra and Melinda's son-in-law.

4 Days ago

Jelita was surprised to see two married couples who came looking for her to her small contract, which she used to live with her late parents. Both of his parents had just died from being hit while scavenging for sustenance on the streets.

"Who are you looking for, Mom, sir?" ask Jelita politely.

The middle-aged woman looked at Jelita's appearance from top to bottom, until finally a smile rose on those red lips.

"Emm, are you Jelita? sir Sidik's daughter and Nurma's mother?"

"Yes, Mom. What's up, huh? do both my parents have debts that I have to pay off? if so, for now I don't have money, sir, Mom, but Mom and Dad are calm, I won't run away from responsibility. I'll keep paying my mom's debt to my dad, but please give me a chance to work first." Jelita, cerocos, at length did not give the woman and the man in front of her a chance to explain their true arrival.

"Sorry, Jelita boy! We didn't come here to collect your parents' debts, because they don't owe us anything at all. Meet my aunt Melinda and this is my aunt's husband, Ganendra. We were the ones who accidentally bumped into your parents, and we came here just to apologize,"

Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, Jelita gasped in surprise while covering her mouth until she took a few steps back. Tears that had been dry, now re-seep out, wet his cheeks. Jelita closed her eyes for a moment, then she opened them again while taking a deep breath.

"Sir, Mum. I've forgiven you both, because it's not purely the fault of you and Mom. The same father has also been responsible for bringing the mother and father to the hospital, although finally fate said another," said Jelita, not blaming the husband and wife in front of him. Because he knew, it was your mother and board who suddenly crossed, just for the sake of a bottle of mineral drink that someone threw out of a car that had just passed, so that an accident could not be inevitable again.

"But, son, we still feel guilty for making you live alone. So, this aunt and aunt husband, agreed to take you to our house and make you our daughter-in-law. You want to, right?"

"Sorry, Mother! I can't, besides I don't know Mom and Dad's kids, nor do I want to marry someone just out of guilt. I sincerely forgive, Father and Mother and I will not demand anything," Jelita refused politely, and still called the two men Mother and Father, because he doesn't feel that familiar to call Om and aunt.

"But, Om and Aunt want you to be our daughter-in-law, son. This was an aunt's promise, before your parents died. Please, you want to get married with Auntie's son!" Please Melinda with a face.

"But, Mum. I did not expect to be made a daughter-in-law by my Mother. I'm also sure that your son would not want to marry a woman like me either" Jelita insisted on refusing.

"Son, if you don't want to be our daughter-in-law, I will be willing to prostrate myself before you, until you will. If it's our son's problem, it's our business. We're sure she'll be obedient and willing to marry you. Please, son!" Melinda almost dropped her body to her knees. Luckily, Jelita immediately restrained Melinda's body with a confused look of what to do.

"Mom, please don't be like this! I really__"

"Please, Son! aunt believes you're the right one to be our daughter-in-law." Melinda cut in before Jelita returned to throw her rejection.

Jelita, silent for a moment while looking at Melinda's heart-wrenching and hopeful face. Then, there was the sound of a puff of breath from Jelita's mouth followed by a nod in her head.

"Alright, Mom! i'm willing!" concluded Jelita finally with a resigned tone, because really did not have the heart to see the look of the woman's face.

"Thank you, honey!" melinda cheered as she pulled Jelita's body into her arms.

"Together, Mom!" hiss Jelita lirih.

"Hopefully, I observed the correct decision," Jelita sat down with a faint smile impressed forced.

"Alright, om and Aunt go home first. We'll pick you up on Sunday. To talk about this to our son Gavin, "The middle-aged man named Ganendra who had been quieter earlier, opened the voice accompanied by a smile on his lips.

"Good, Sir, Mom! be careful on the road!"

"Don't call us father and mother, but call us aunt and aunt!" melinda said before leaving. Remnants of happiness due to Jelita's willingness were still clearly visible on the middle-aged woman's face.

"Well, Ma'am uh Auntie, Om!" jelita replied, while showing off her sweetest smile, although it still seemed obvious a sense of forced in that smile.

"Goody! we say yes!" Melinda and Ganendra walked away feeling relieved.

"Hopefully, it was your son who refused to marry me," Jelita's mind was full of hope, as she stared at the shadowy footsteps of Melinda and Ganendra that had vanished from her sight.

However, it seems that what was expected by Jelita was not fulfilled, the proof was that the couple came back and took her to the mansion where her feet are now.

"Bi, please get Gavin here!" Jelita gasped in shock, and her heart immediately beat faster than a normal heartbeat, as soon as she heard Melinda's voice ordering one of her house assistants to call the man she was being tipped to be her husband.
