Not the Idle Wife
Chapter 43

Meanwhile, in a different place in Gavin's apartment, there is tension between Jelita and Sari.

Jelita who was focusing on cutting vegetables, made cooked for lunch, was annoyed by Sari's attitude from earlier trying to provoke her anger.

"You did not sleep together yesterday, Mr Gavin? why is it now a bed? you must have been the one who teased Mr Gavin, right?" said Sari while slicing the seasoning.

"What business do you ask like that? you have no right to take care of something that is none of your business" replied Jelita, ketus. Jelita is almost out of stock for a woman like Sari.

"Why not? Melinda's mother is my master, I don't want her to be lied to by a woman like you,"

Jelita put the knife in her hand quite hard and immediately turned to look at Sari with a very sharp eye.

"Good, you knowingly said that your mother Melinda was your employer. You are aware of your position now. I know that you really wish that Melinda's mama was your in-law. You hope your life is like the story in the novels where the maid married her employer. Unfortunately, what you expected was not fulfilled because now the daughter-in-law of Mama Melinda, or the wife of Mas Gavin is me. You don't like me just because of that, do you, so you're trying different ways to make Mama Melinda hate me, don't you?" jelita said by slipping insinuations.

"You don't just talk! I really don't intend to be a daughter-in-law to Melinda's mother. I really just don't want to, the mother was lied to, let alone by you, the woman who really doesn't know herself" Sari denied pretending to be angry with Jelita's accusations.

Jelita snorted, and smiled smirk.

"Do you think I didn't hear what you were talking about with bik Narti on the first day I became Gavin's wife? At that time it was very clear you asked why it wasn't you who became the daughter-in-law of Mama Melinda, right?

Sari's face immediately turned pale as if not drained by blood, hearing the words that were thrown from Jelita's mouth.

"I'm trying to be kind to you, hoping your bad thoughts about me can change, not at all. You are even more so," continued Jelita again who is still trying to resist the intonation of her voice, because she does not want her in-laws and her husband who are in the middle room to hear their debate.

"Ok, if so why? I wanted to be Mr. Gavin's wife. What wrong? didn't you? just so you know, the reason why Mr. Gavin would accept marrying you, it's only because Melinda's mother threatened to give all the inheritance of wealth to fall into your hands. As for love, not at all. Mr. Gavin will never love you,"

Jelita was stunned, silent for a while hearing the new reality she knew the truth.

"Why indeed? love is not love, which is clear he is already my husband, no matter the initial reason that made us husband and wife. I assume that God gave us such a way, to make us a match. As long as you know, a marriage that begins not based on love, not necessarily ends in destruction, it could be that love will grow over time. And vice versa, the marriage that was originally based on love, not necessarily able to last forever," said Jelita who finally could master the state of not being provoked by Sari's speech.

"Oh yeah? didn't she? but somehow I'm sure that Mr. Gavin will be able to love someone like you. You're a long way from the criteria Mr. Gavin wants. I'm sure Mr. Gavin never said he loved you, right? kasian once you slept without love," said Sari who again made Jelita stunned. Because indeed what Sari said just now was very on target.

"You can't answer, can you? I'm right, aren't I? so don't feel proud when he's done that with you, because there's no way a normal guy can hold his na*fs when he sees a woman's body. He did it not because of love but because of na*fsu," Sari continued with a cynical smile and felt victorious seeing Jelita who was silent.

Jelita tried not to cry. He's trying to stay calm. The woman snorted and the corner of her lips was pulled slightly upwards, smiling sinisterly towards Sari.

"You're wrong! just so you know last night every time she fucked me and touched me gently all over my body, she repeatedly called my name and said words of love. He said that he loved me very much, and there would be no woman who could make him fall in love other than me" Jelita said, lying, deliberately exaggerating.

"I can't believe it! you must be lying!" said Sari with a flushed face..

"It's up to you to believe it or not. Because of what you believe and do not believe

none of my business. What do you think Gavin would want with a woman like you? I guess he wouldn't,"

"We'll see" said Sari with a sly smile on her lips.

"What's my fault? is a maid so despicable in your eyes, Non Jelita?"

"You're crazy! since when did I insult the maid? jelita said with a sharp look.

"What's this about? why are you crying?" melinda and Gavin have appeared.

"Mom, Non Jelita was still angry with me about, which I complained to, Mom and she said, you little helper who doesn't know . "Sari started playing her act. "What's wrong, ma'am, if I only knew a maid?

is a maid so despicable?" jatang Sari with tears that increasingly dripped, showing that she was very humiliated now with Jelita's words. The woman wanted to make Jelita's image bad in front of Gavin and his mother.

"Jelita? is that true? why are you so proud like this?" melinda said, looking at Jelita with her eyebrows linked.

"What, Mama believe in him?I never insulted him at all, he insulted me, instead" Jelita defended herself.

"Why are you still trying to deny, Non Jelita? you said I was just a maid, and you had to be self-conscious. You said that I had to obey all your orders," said Sari who increasingly looked like she was completely humiliated.

"Jelita! is that true?" snapped Gavin who did not think that his wife could be that arrogant.

Jelita was stunned to hear Gavin yelling at her. It was Sari who lowered her head, smiling cynically.

"Yes that's right!" said Jelita finally admitted the thing that he did not do at all, because it was annoyed with Gavin who easily believed Sari's words.

"You know why? because I was so upset when she said that you were willing to marry me for fear that all the inheritance would fall into my hands. He said you would never love me. You touched me just because naf*su wasn't because you loved me. Is it wrong of me to say that she is only a maid, who does not deserve to interfere in the affairs of the employer? if you think that's arrogance, go ahead! I just wanted to keep my own pride, which even though he was right that you could never love me" Jelita's voice rose, blasting out everything in her heart, although it must justify Sari's slander, it makes Gavin speechless. Being too upset, Jelita walked away with a little run leaving the kitchen.

"Dammit!" Gavin pursued his wife.

Melinda who heard all Jelita's words, suddenly looked towards Sari.

"Is that really all Sari? how do you know why Gavin accepted marriage to Jelita, while no one we told? did you eavesdrop on our conversation?" snapped Melinda with a glittering gaze full of anger

"Damn! why is Jelita this clever? I thought he was going to try to deny, it turns out that he justifies my accusations and the reason, that again. I'll be caught eavesdropping on their conversation, "Sari grumbled in her heart.

"ANSWER, WHY SHUT UP!" melinda is back. "Listen Sari, this time you've been very presumptuous. What you are doing is no longer tolerable! from now on I fire you and never show up in front of our family again. Understand that! Now you go home, and get all your stuff done. I don't want to see you later when I get home,"

"Sorry, Mom! don't fire me! I'm really sorry and promise I won't do that again" Sari dropped herself to her knees begging.

"No more apologies! OUT!" tell Melinda in a higher voice than before.
