Not the Idle Wife
She's a woman

"Jelita, why did you come out of that room?" exclaimed Melinda with sharp-edged eyebrows, seeing the appearance of Jelita from a room that was clearly not the main room.

"Dead me. Out of my history today," Gavin's face, grimaced and turned pale.

Jelita's eyes suddenly grew bigger, gasping in shock at the appearance of Melinda, her mother-in-law. Instantly the woman's face also turned pale, and to swallow her own saliva alone, it felt very difficult for her to do so.

"Ma-Mama, how come it's here?" jelita asked with a slight tremble.

"Don't try to switch the conversation! you answer first, why did you get out of that room? did you split up the rooms?" Melinda's eyebrows rose upwards, staring suspiciously.

"Emm, of course not, Mah. Earlier __" Gavin hung his words in the air, as soon as he saw his mother's sharp gaze.

"Mama didn't ask you! Mama was asking Jelita," Melinda said coldly, making the atmosphere in the room very stressful.

"Well, me and Gavin didn't split the room. Why can I get out of that room, because yesterday I haven't had time to look around the contents of this apartment. I'm very happy, because I've never seen and lived in an apartment this luxurious," Jelita explained, very carefully hoping that the reason she gave could make her mother-in-law stop asking questions.

"Is that true? you two weren't lying to mama, were you?" melinda's bead eyes still look can not believe fully with the explanation given Jelita.

"Yes, Mah!"

"Emm, okay! Mama believes in you," Melinda smiled back at the child and daughter-in-law.

Meanwhile, Gavin quietly sighed in relief. "Emm, why isn't he being honest? if he wants to, he can be honest. He was indeed very skilled at playing his role," whispered Gavin to himself with a tail of eyes that glanced cynically at Jelita.

"Mama, what's that?" jelita asked looking at the package that was being held by Melinda.

"Oh yes, my mother forgot. This is Mama bringing breakfast for you two. Afraid that you haven't cooked yet" Melinda handed the package containing 3 boxes of chicken porridge, which were in her hands to Jelita's.

"It just so happens that I'm hungry, Mah. Jelita was not yet cooked, because we had not had time to shop for the kitchen," either angel who came to Gavin, until he took the initiative to say it, he said it, which indirectly can make his mother think no-no about Jelita.

"Mama guessed! you must have been exhausted last night for the mother grandchildren, until you forgot to shop for kitchen needs," seduced Melinda while rolling her eyes towards Jelita, to make a red tinge immediately appear on the white cheeks of her daughter-in-law.

"Emm, ah, Mah, let's eat!" Gavin steps into the kitchen followed by Jelita and Melinda

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Jelita, after this, you will come with your mom!" melinda said after the chicken porridge in front of her had run out.

"Where are you going, Mah?" Jelita clenched her forehead, curious.

"Today, my mom wants to take you shopping. You have to buy a lot of clothes, bags, shoes and everything else. One day, we are shopping. Mama has long been waiting for something like this, can shopping with her daughter-in-law," said Melinda with a face that sparkled happily, very contrary to the look of Jelita's face now.

"Emm, how are you, Mah. Not that I refused, but today Jelita could not come at all, Mama," said Jelita with a face that really felt bad.

"Why can't it? didn't Gavin start working today?" melinda's face looked disappointed.

"Yes, God, how is this? do I have to be honest, if I'm busy making cake orders today?

Jelita nodded while biting her lower lip.

"Why isn't it answered, Jelita?" Melinda opened her voice again, impatiently waiting for the son-in-law's answer.

"Emm, I have to design today people's cake orders, Mah. The order is quite a lot of problems," said Jelita who finally decided to be frank.

Gavin who was drinking suddenly spouted water from his mouth, shocked to hear a new speech just thrown from Jelita's mouth.

"Order cake? what cake order?" Melinda scrunched her forehead.

"Emm, I can pretty much make a cake, Mah. So to fill the void, I was fiddling to make a cake and post to social media, uh it turns out that there were a lot of messages.

"Seriously?" Jelita nodded her head, assuring.

"Do you know about this?" Melinda looked at Gavin.

"Mas Gavin knows, Mah. He was very supportive. Even the capital to make the cakes from Mas Gavin," Jelita immediately took the initiative to answer, as soon as he saw Gavin's confused face.

"Since when did I give him capital?" inner Gavin while staring confusedly at Jelita.

"Oh, so is that it? why don't you ask for a cake shop then?"

"I want it to be like this first, Mah. Later if there are many customers, then think again, want to make a cake shop or not. Isn't that right, Mas?" jelita asked, smiling at Gavin who was suddenly excited. But the man still nodded his head, on the sidelines of his confusion.

"Oh, like that? my mom supports you too. Hope your efforts are good, though,

yeah, Honey,"

"Amen! Thank you, Mah!" jelita said sincerely.

"Oh yeah, can you see an example of your cake?"

"Of course you can, Mah. Wait, I'll get a cell phone first" Jelita, with a face, moved from her seat to pick up the phone from the bag she put in the living room.

"Here we go, Mah!" Jelita who has returned again, immediately showed her the photos of his muffin last night.

"Well, muffins! it seems like this is all very good. You made this, because you know, that Gavin really likes to eat muffins? or Gavin's forcing you to make muffins?"

Jelita smiled slightly forced while looking at Gavin who happened to be staring at her.

"L-yes, Mah!" jelita said, with a soft look.

"Well, look at Gavin, the girl Mama chose, right? try you the same Maya-Maya, surely she does not know to do something like this. The idea must be a party, and spending your money, with useless things," Melinda said proudly.

Gavin, smiling wryly at his mother, again reminded of his old folly of being tempted by Maya.

In contrast to Gavin, Jelita actually scrunched her forehead because Maya's name was like Familiar in her ears.

"May? I think I've heard the name of that woman? Hmm, but maybe different people. The woman named Maya is not just one," she whispered to herself.

" Yeah, then Mama, want to say goodbye first. Gavin also seems like it's time to go to the office. Next time you are not busy, we will shop together" Melinda said as she grabbed her bag and placed it on her shoulder.

"Oh yes, Mah. Be careful, Ma!" gavin and Jelita said almost simultaneously after kissing the back of the middle-aged woman's hand earlier.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Why are you lying? since when did I, give you capital?" Gavin immediately asked the thing that stuck in his heart.

"So, what do you want? should I be honest? tell mama that you won't give me a dime, so I intend to make my own money, do you?" sahut Jelita, with a resentful tone.

Gavin flinched, unable to answer.

"Where did you get the money for that capital?"

"Obviously, I didn't steal or beg." replied Jelita as she grabbed her sash bag and hung it on her shoulder. Then the woman, about to pass away, suddenly stopped because of being held back by Gavin.

"You answered correctly, where did you get the money?" gavin's gaze was as sharp as a dagger ready to hit the heart.

"My best friend gave it to me, satisfied!" Jelita brushed Gavin's hand off his arm.

"Oh, how good is your friend? is he your lover who takes refuge behind the word best friend?" gavin said with a cynical smile.

"Whatchu mean? she is a woman, how can I have a girlfriend. I'm still normal" Jelita stared fiercely at Gavin, not accepting Gavin's accusation.
