Not the Idle Wife

Not the Idle Wife
Chapter 18


Gavin pulls out of his car at his parents' mansion grounds. Sari who was watering the plants, immediately smiled at the familiar car. But her smile turned wry as soon as she saw Jelita coming down from the car.


"Good afternoon, Sister!" greet Jelita in a friendly manner.


"Yes, Afternoon, Non-Jelita!" answer Sari with a taut tone. Then the woman turned her gaze towards Gavin and showed her sweetest smile to the man.


"Good afternoon, young master!" she said in a soft voice, very contradictory to her attitude towards Jelita.


"Emm," said Gavin briefly as he passed away, making Sari's smile turn wry and disappointed.


"Patiently yes! he is such a man. You must have known his attitude all this time," said Jelita, while patting Sari's shoulder. At his words tucked a little tucked into a ledge that could not be digested by Sari.


"I'm going in first, Ma'am!" Jelita swung her legs stepping inside following her husband Gavin. But not yet at the door, Melinda is seen appearing to welcome the son-in-law. The middle-aged woman's face, seemed very sparkling to see Jelita's arrival, as if she had not met her daughter-in-law for a long time.


Sari stomped her feet, seeing that. Envy increasingly gnawed at his mind.


"Udah, continue your work!" chirps bik Narti who suddenly was behind Sari.


"What the hell, Bude! just startle me." Sari pursed her lips.


"Bude said don't envy the happiness of others, because that will cost you your own. In addition to the increasing sin, your life will never feel calm," said bik Nari again, who does not care about the look on the face of his niece's annoyance. According to him, it was his duty to advise the ponakan before the envy of his name was getting bigger.


"Well ah, Bude!" Sari left the bik Narti who could only sigh while shaking her head.


...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...


"Why isn't the box full, honey?" melinda asked as soon as she opened the box containing the muffins.


"Em, it was full, Mah, but it was eaten with Mas Gavin" replied Jelita, glancing cynically at Gavin.


"Why did you eat Gavin? it's for mama,"


"Why can't you, Mah? I'll mama's son not someone else" said Gavin casually as he plucked back the muffin from the box.


"Don't take Gavin again!" screech Melinda while hitting her son's hand. But it was too late, Gavin Sudan put the muffin in his mouth.


"Already! why are you guys like kids anyway?" Ganendra opens his voice. "And you, Gavin, why are you coming home so quickly? reynaldi said, You're dizzy, but why doesn't it appear that you're dizzy?" asked Ganendra with a probing look.


"So, I was dizzy, Pah. After taking the medicine is better," replied Gavin origin.


"I don't think it's because of that. You're not suggesting you meet Jelita?" goda Melinda rolled her eyes.


"No, Mah. I did get dizzy earlier," said Gavin who did not want to make Jelita big head.


"All right then! papa actually does not matter if you go home if it is really urgent. But, if possible, if not too urgent, you do not take too trivial work even though you are a leader. Because the company can move forward with good leadership. It would be a good HR if the leader could not lead well." Ganendra gave advice again.


"Yes, Pah. Papa take it easy. Although, I seem relaxed, it does not mean I am not serious about managing the company. Papa has to trust me, and enjoy the old days, Papa. I will try to make The Sky Group company more advanced," said Gavin while sipping coffee that had just been served by bik Narti.


Talks resumed between papa and the boy, while Melinda was also cool with Jelita. They stopped chatting, when Narti's bik came and said that dinner was ready.


"It's okay, Non! after all, there was Sari who helped," Bik Narti, published a smile on his lips.


"Sih, good pretentious!" Sari who heard Jelita's words earlier, screeched and cursed in her heart.


...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...


Silence is created in the car driven by Gavin, all the way home from the Maheswara family mansion to Gavin's apartment.


Gavin looks focused on seeing the road in front of him, while Jelita looks out the window down the street that has seemed to start to quiet.


Jelita was a little jolted in shock, because she heard her phone suddenly ringing. The woman looked at the screen of her phone, and there was Nayla's name on it. Meanwhile, Gavin moves his tail, glancing at Jelita's phone, wondering who's calling his wife these nights.


"Hello, Nay, what's wrong?" ask Jelita to the point.


"....."


"Oh, can, Nay. How many donuts? and what donuts?" said Jelita, because Nayla was asking whether Jelita can make donuts or not, because there are colleagues who want to order donuts.


"...."


"Hmm, can, can. That's all right?" jelita asked with great enthusiasm.


"...."


"Emm, roll sponge, four, brownies, three. Ok, I can do it. Tomorrow afternoon, right?" tanya, Jelita made sure.


"...."


"OK,Nay! you send it, the address is yes! Thank you, nay. Hye!" Jelita put her phone back in her bag with a face that sparkled happily. He did not expect that the effort that was originally in doubt, could quickly produce results.


"Who was that? your best friend is it?" Gavin opens the sound, the first speech after 20 minutes of travel.


"Yes!" sahut Jelita, short while looking out the window.


"How much capital are you using?" Gavin spoke again with a view that still remained focused forward.


"You don't need to know. Clearly, I wasn't begging from her," Jelita's tone sounded extremely cold. "I will still pay the money I use later, if I have made a lot of profit. If for now, I can't return it, because I still have to turn it for capital back and for my living expenses" Jelita said without looking at Gavin at all.


Gavin was stunned, feeling slapped with Jelita's words. The man recalled Reynaldi's remarks earlier this afternoon, asking him to keep negative thoughts away from the woman he had married.


Gavin finally chose to return to silence, because they also happened to be in the apartment area they lived in.


Gavin pulled his car over slowly and immediately removed the seat belt attached to his body. The man chose to get out of the car and immediately passed away leaving Jelita behind.
