Not the Idle Wife
Gavin expressed his intention

"Morning, Mah, Pah!" greet Jelita with a smile on her lips as soon as she saw the arrival of her two in-laws.

"Lho Jelita, are you cooking, honey?" asked Melinda with a glowing face.

"Emm, just a little help, Mah. I can't cook like this. I'm usually just a village dish" Jelita said shyly.

"But, Non-Jelita is quick to learn, Madam. Only once taught, he could immediately, "Bik Narti opened his voice, chimed in Jelita's words.

"Auntie, I can!" sahut Jelita with flushed cheeks. Meanwhile, Sari was seen turning her face, with a slanted mouth and a face that did not like it.

"Well, mama is sure, that Jelita must be versatile and quick to adapt," praised Melinda who made Sari, turned her face, and said, with a slanted mouth and a face that does not like to listen to the praise of his great mistress.

"Oh yeah, where's Gavin?" Ganendra opened his voice with eyes that circled looking for the whereabouts of his son.

"Mas Gavin hasn't come down yet, Pah."

"Oh, then you call your husband, let us have breakfast together," this time it was Melinda who opened her voice.

"Ouch! woke him? how'this?" jelita bit her lips.

"Jelita? why are you still standing there, honey? let's you wake up your husband?" melinda's voice was so soft, but still it could not make Jelita's heart feel calm.

"Well, Mah!" jelita said softly and moved from that place.

However, Jelita had just stepped a few steps to see the figure being discussed appear, to make the woman exhale with relief.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The sound of the clanking of spoons and forks clashing with plates could be heard filling the dining room.

"Oh yeah, Gavin what's your plan now?" Ganendra opened his voice after first cleaning the leftovers from his mouth using tissue.

Gavin, who had just finished eating, did not immediately reply. The man grabbed the glass filled with white water and gulped it down the toilet. Then he did the same thing his father did.

"According to Papa, how? I'll just massage."

"You're time to manage the company in place of papa. Now you've got a wife you have to take responsibility for,"

"Mama agrees!" Melinda suddenly stumbled.

"Even though you have a lot of money, but it's mostly gifts from mama and papa, not purely your work, right?" keep Melinda back.

"Yes, son from now on you have to be independent, because __"

"Did Mom and Dad forget that I used to work as a regular employee? does that not include self-sufficiency?" Gavin interrupted his father's words. Don't forget Jelita who just kept quiet, decided to just be a good listener.

"You know, Gavin, but now you're married, right? you need to start working again,"

"Yes, I'll work again. I'm going to start work tomorrow, and I'm going to ask Renaldi to be my assistant, right, Pah?"

Ganendra seemed silent as if thinking of something. Then the man nodded his head, smiling.

"Alright, he's not too bad papa kira," said Ganendra, agreeing.

"Well, Mah, I want to say something, okay?" gavin asked, after a moment of silence.

Melinda and Ganendra looked at each other with frowns, full of question marks.

"What do you want to ask?" Ganendra placed both hands on his chin with elbows attached to the table.

Jelita's eyes grew bigger and stared at Gavin.

"When are we talking about this?" with a confused face.

"Is that so, Jelita?" melinda asked with her eyebrows clutched, suspiciously.

"Mr ...." Jelita glanced back at Gavin.

"True, Mah." replied Jelita at last.

"Are you not comfortable in this house until you move in?" melinda's question seems to be getting more and more cornered by Jelita.

"Why did he put me in this situation? what else do I have to answer try? please help me answer," Jelita glanced at Gavin, asking for help

However, the man looked ordinary, as if he did not care, and allowed Jelita to seek her own answers.

Jelita took a deep breath and exhaled it back into the air quite long.

"Bu-not like that, Mah. I'm very comfortable here. I have absolutely no reason not to feel comfortable, because everything here is good to me."

"So? why should I move?" there was a dislike in Melinda's words. How not, just now she felt like she had a daughter, but already had to leave.

"Emm, actually this is not my wish, but this is the wish of Gavin. So, as a wife, I should have followed my husband wherever he went, right, Mah?"

"Damn! why would he say that this is my wish?" can't he find another reason? as Gavin said, grumbling in the heart.

"Oh, so this is what you want, Gavin? wh why? do you have any plans to do something to Jelita?" melinda's forehead rose upwards, staring fully in search.

"What the hell, Mah? why, Mama suspect her own child? I never had a bad plan for Jelita. My only reason is one, which is to want to live independently, to live a household in general, like my mom and dad used to," Gavin's heart pounded, hoping that his mom and dad could accept the reason.

"Why should I upgrade my house? this house is very big, and you two can also live independently in this house, don't you think, Pah?" Melinda asks for support from her husband Ganendra.

"Hmm, your mama has a point, Gavin. Here you two can also live independently," Ganendra chimed in on his wife Melinda's remarks.

"Can't be equated, Pah. There's still a difference. I want to feel like giving Jelita the kitchen shopping money, like a husband in general. If it's here, I'm sure everything won't work. Mama will definitely prepare all the kitchen shopping. So, indirectly, we can't yet be called independent right?" gavin said fieryly, and this time for more convincing reasons.

Melinda and Ganendra looked at each other and were silent for a while. Then there was a heavy sigh coming from Melinda's mouth.

"Hmm, okay! although actually mama does not mind to prepare all the kitchen shopping. But what you said has a point. It's good that we give both of you a chance to be able to live independently." concluded Melinda finally who got a nod of the head from Ganendra, indicating that the man also supports the words of his wife.

"Thank you, Mah, Pah!" Gavin spoke happily, inversely proportional to Jelita who looked resigned.

"Have you bought a house for you to live in?" Ganendra opens his voice.

"Yet, Pah. For a while, let us stay in one of my apartments,"

"Oh, like that. All right, anyway mom can still play anyway later to your apartment," said Melinda with a faint smile, comforting herself.

"So, when are you two planning to move out?" keep Melinda back.

"Now, today, after eating," Gavin replied casually without any burden.

"Huh, now?" melinda and Jelita cried together while standing up.
