The wife shook her body, making Ben re-open his eyes. "What?"
Lestari looked at her husband's eyes. "When do you want to get rich?"
That question was not answered by Ben. The proportionate man only looked at his wife for a moment, then pulled the blanket.
"Beben, answer!" Lestari shakes Ben's body again. "Do you choose me or do you work?" add the woman.
In fact, the question is nothing more than a threat because it is impossible to work apart from home.
She just wanted her husband to start building self-esteem. Is not the self-esteem of men working?
"No need for work. If you need money, ask for papa." The same words, the same solution as before.
Ben turned his back on his wife, his eyes starting to close to reach for a dream. Dreams in the real sense.
Lestari took a deep breath. Although her husband's family is wealthy, if her husband is unemployed, there is nothing to be proud of, really. It was embarrassing for him.
"I don't want to be that rich." He began to tie his hair as necessary. "I want you to work. Point." He also went to the bathroom.

The mentari began to rise. The house is clean and tidy, all done by Lestari alone. Now he wants to shop, still waiting for the vegetable maker who used to pass in front of his house.
While waiting, he watered the plants using a hose. Sometimes a neighbor would say hello. Although the house is classified as luxurious, but he lives in a simple complex. Many people are friendly, and many are the opposite.
Soon, the long-awaited greengrocer finally arrived. Mothers then rushed to storm the merchandise, not least Lestari.
Like mothers in general, they also open conversations while choosing vegetables and such. Meanwhile, Lestari had only heard their chatter which was mostly about the faults of others.
He did not dare to talk because he was the youngest. It is still new in this complex. After all, his sins are many. He doesn't want to add more.
Lestari's eyes were fixed on the sweet corn. His head immediately thought of the cornbasket, it must be very delicious to eat while warm. He also took two large sweet corns.
In addition, he also chose kale as a vegetable menu today. Do not forget to buy tofu and its favorite tempe. I don't know what he'll make later.
"I go first, Mothers," she said to four mothers who were still chatting at home. They seem to be more focused on chatting than shopping.
"Yes, Dance," they answered compactly.
A few seconds after Lestari left, they started talking about Ben and Lestari's household.
"What does it do, Mom? How do you keep at home?" whisper one of them.
"Ehh, yes, Mom. He must be unemployed."
"Wow, free his father is rich but his son is lazy, Mom." They were whispering to each other, but it still reached Lestari's ears.
Lestari could only swallow. Although everything said by the mothers was true, but the woman's chest felt tight at once. Unable to hear any longer, his footsteps accelerated to enter the house.
All the groceries he had bought, were avoided in the kitchen. He will go to the room first to see if Ben is awake or still asleep. By 11:15, he should have woken up.
When he returned to the kitchen, his doorbell suddenly rang. A sign that a guest is waiting in front. He put back the knife he had grabbed.
Before opening the door, the woman peeked at her guest from behind the window. The guest was her mother-in-law. Rita, name. "Oh, Mama."
Hurry up he opens the door. "Mama!" saraya sapanya bring the body closer to just embrace. "How are you, Ma?" tanya Lestari makes small talk.
"Mommy's healthy, Papa's in the office is also healthy. How are you, honey?" Mama Rita returned Lestari's embrace, then stroked her daughter-in-law's stomach slowly. "Baby is fine, right?"
"Yes, Ma. All good though. Healthy." Lestari commented on the big smile earlier.
They also entered the house. Lestari invited her in-laws to sit in the living room. "What would you like to drink? A juice? Or just some tea?"
"Avocado juice, may. Mama likes it," replied Mama Rita without weighing. "Oh yeah, where's Beben? Still sleeping?" He seemed to circulate the view, looking for the figure of the child but he could not find.
"Yes, Ma. Still sleeping." Lestari weakens the shoulder. "Either until when he was so rich, Ma," he seemed barely to make a sound.
"Why, Honey?" ask Mama Rita who did not hear the words of the daughter-in-law.
"It's okay, Ma. Dance to the kitchen first, yeah." It is not time to speak from the heart. Her in-laws had just arrived, she had to welcome happily. Can not immediately pour out the contents of that messy heart.
One avocado butter, put Lestari into a blender. Do not forget to include sugar, but not much, and enough water.
Shortly after, he brought avocado juice to the living room for Mama Rita. However, when he got there, none of his in-laws were. He put the glass on the table, then looked for the in-laws into the room.
The trap was right, he was in the room, seemed to be patting slowly on the child's shoulder. Either the purpose is to wake up, or just to make Ben sleep more.
"Ma?" greet Lestari in a quiet voice. "Just dance put the table down, yeah."
"Yes, Honey. Mama wants to be the same Beben first, yeah."
Lestari. "Tari cook first, Ma."
In the kitchen, Lestari began shelling corn with a knife. As planned, he will make a cornbasket.
The spices needed, it's ulek. Then mixed with flour and corn that has been prepared. Once the viscosity is appropriate, Lestari immediately fries on the pan.
While waiting for the bakwan to mature and brownish in color, he cut the kale for later sauteed.
After about an hour of cooking the lunch menu, everything finally matures. Lestari hurried to prepare the various dishes on the dining table.
"Well, it's smart Mama's daughter-in-law. It looks good all." Mama Rita suddenly came to the dining table.
"But it's just simple cooking, Ma." Lestari reviews the smile. "Beben's not awake yet, Ma?"
"Yes, Honey. It's okay to say so," replied Mama Rita lightly.
"But, Ma. Shouldn't Beben start training?" Slowly Lestari poured out anything that stifled her chest.
"It's not yet time, Dance. He still likes to play games. Yes, yes, justin. If you need money, just tell Mama, okay?"
