The 40 Days of the Natiphas
Rose cravings

As soon as the news reached my in-laws' ears, she was the one most excited about the Rose pregnancy. I who sat in the open room and door could see clearly that they were spoiling my honey. 

"Thank God that you are pregnant, it must be the son of the heir to this family. Unlike her, she's been pregnant for a long time with girls."

I stroked my chest hearing such a piercing word in my heart, the mother-in-law's innuendo was very clear and even sneered at me. Even so I keep smiling, that's how people deal with insinuations and will turn to their master. 

"Yes ma'am, I'm sure the boy I bear is a boy." 

The mother-in-law stroked the flat belly of the Rose, her smiling face brightly already impatient to have a grandson of the future successor of her family. Even Kanaya is not considered as her grandson, did she forget that she is also a woman? Of course there is a reciprocity of his actions, only mentally prepare when karma approaches. 

"Yes dong Darling, your family is mostly men. I'm sure his son is also a boy." 

"Mom take it easy, I promise you a boy's mother." 

"Should dong, it's not like she could give birth to a daughter." 

Ahh .. It could be that they said such a ludicrous thing, the old mind and the colossus that spoke without knowledge made me amused. It's free to explain that they don't understand, but why did Adam stay silent? He will be educated, maybe this kind of thing must be he knows especially that general knowledge in high school. 

Never mind, instead of hearing nonsense, I should fill my empty stomach with food. 

I walked into the kitchen and cooked what was in the fridge, found fish, tempeh, and vegetables that excited me. 

The smell of my cooking was smelled by the Rose who suddenly stood behind me, I was surprised and looked at her in surprise. 

"Need something?" 

The rose quickly nodded. "I want all that for me!" there is a commanding tone that irritates me. 

"I'm tired of cooking and you're asking for everything?" 

"Yes. If Mba doesn't want to give me a report with mom or Adam's." 

I laughed more and more at the condemnation of the Rose, he could have complained to me. "In the refrigerator there are still fish, tempeh, and vegetables. If you want to do it yourself," I'm sure. 

"But I want Mba's cooking." 

Wow, the rose is getting nosed. Could this be the effect of her getting pregnant and cravings on my cooking? Does the karma start to run? 

"I'm not a maid, if you want to do it yourself." Then I brought all the food I had cooked into the room, forced to eat inside regardless of the screams of the Roses that kept pounding on the door. 

"Son would want all, if he asked for half of me to share. All of? I'm tired of cooking he's gonna take it." My murmur shook my head and returned to feed my mouth with food while glancing at the lackey Kanaya. 

"What is the Rose? Why yell?" 

"That's Mom, Mba Luna doesn't want to give me her, but I want to." The rose showed a sad face in order to get sympathy, and sure enough when suddenly the mother's expression changed. 

"Luna .. Luna, open the door!" 

I let go of the scream, and continued eating. Very well know exactly what will happen later, a drama played mother and Rose in Adam mas. 

"What's wrong, ma'am?" I asked without guilt, looking at the two women looking angry with my attitude. 

I purposely gave the Rose a gap to see all the food I had spent, gave me a little lesson I thought it would be fine. 

"You're deaf, why don't you open the door." Ketus mother-in-law who looks at me cynically does not like. 

"Master, I'm starving and I don't hear anything when I'm hungry." The excuses made up even more irritated them. 

"Based on a brash daughter-in-law!" 

I quickly blocked the hand of the mother who was about to slap my face I kept her eyes deep. "Don't force me to be rude to Mom, you're once again raising that hand don't blame me for doubly retaliating."

"Oh, have you dared to fight me?"

"I've been silent, Mom, how do you treat me and always insult me I'm silent, but if it's physical I even reply twice." I was being firm with my mother-in-law so as not to be arbitrary with me, it didn't matter if they were talking about me ugly but when it comes to the physical I won't forgive him anymore. 

Little look of a frightened face as I began to dare to fight mother.

"Rose is pregnant, you have to cook food for her, I don't want my granddaughter to reel." 

For a moment I started to melt and wanted to cook for roses but the sneaky smile recorded by my two eyes made me undo the intention. "Sorry Mom, but I'm not a maid." I instantly closed both room doors without caring they were banging on it so hard.

The accusations and insults that I received did not discourage me, I believe they will create drama and complain me to Adam of course with spices as a complement to make the story more interesting.

"I want Adam to get mad at me and throw me out of this house, which is an advantage I really hope for." My murmurs were hugging Kanaya's body.

"Luna .. Luna," Adam's cry and so loud it was clear in my ears that I hurried out and approached.

"Mas' voice scared Kanaya, and I'm not deaf." 

"Why don't you grant the rose's wish? He only asks for simple things, but you can't give it to him. What kind of wife are you, so selfish."

It was so funny that I felt amused by what Adam said, I was oppressed but I was cornered. 

"But I'm not her maid, did you forget that the real maid is her own."

"Don't bring it up again because your position and he's the same in this house, make him the food you're cooking."

Once again I was devastated by the words of Adam at a glance I saw the face of the Rose who was so happy to see me in distress and difficulty that I again undo the intention to help him. 

But I went back to thinking, how may I bestow the fault of the rose upon her child, let the woman think ill of me but I do not want the innocent child to be the victim of the contention of the adults. 

Finally I relented and cooked for the Rose to present it to the woman.

Byurrs

How surprised I was to see the Rose spitting out the food that I had worked so hard to make for her, but she wasted my kindness instead.

"It's not good."

Oh, why is he pranking me? at first glance I saw his eyes that were so interested in my cooking. Continues to give the teacher's comments but what makes me wonder that the food on the plate is exhausted is not rested by him.

"Decorating the food I made but the plate was empty, inconsistent." I shake my head.
