The Retaliation of a Wife Considered a Household Parasite
1: Misleading Advice And Arum's Suffering

(Inspired from a true story ..)

“Since giving birth, my wife has been so rude. Mother, sister, and people home until so do not feel at home.” Angga sighed deeply, in order to dampen his fatigue. He took out a pack of cigarettes from the back pocket of his black trousers, then took one of his cigarettes from there.

Next to Angga, Fajar who is a fellow employee of the private bank where Angga works, smiled amusedly. The man, who was about the age of three heads, patted Angga's right shoulder, then sat on an iron bench, right next to Angga sitting. They are enjoying their rest in the park in front of the bank while unwinding, making cigarettes as one of the solace in the hot sun that makes this afternoon really hot.

“Maybe it's some kind of innate atmosphere exhausted lahiran. Your wife wants to be noticed more than ever because she feels like she already loves you son.” The dawn of amused smiles tends to mock.

“Padahat has become a nature of our loving wife child, why is she even impressed to demand more rewards? As a husband, we are also tired of working for a living. If they just complain and ask for more in return for what has become their nature, we should also have more rights because we are men, right?” continue the Dawn lightly. He took one cigarette from Angga's pack, then lit it using a match that still belongs to Angga.

Angga who is in need of a story companion complete with advice, staring carefully at the interlocutor. He listened very seriously to the advice of the man in the long-sleeved white shirt.

After smoking his cigarette, making thick smoke out of both nostrils and also his mouth, Dawn who realized Angga waiting for further advice from him, said, “Let's just say gini, if he does a lot, you'll talk him out. You'll divorce him. Guaranteed, surely your wife is immediately afraid!” sure who then also said, “Then, my wife was too. Now follow him, so scared of me. You will try that too. What can a wife do, without a husband until they do a lot and dare to us?” He laughed proudly.

Stupidly, without thinking about what the wife actually experienced, Angga who felt his life had been very tiring, agreed. Angga felt what Dawn said, made sense. Whereas in a contract not far from the bank, in a densely populated rented and far from the word luxury, Dwi Arum Safitri who is familiarly called Arum, and is none other than the wife of Angga, the wife of the, the middle grimacing painfully found the blood of his breath has been up to decorate the two inner legs.

Arum looked around. In the small contract, she could not distinguish between a pile of dirty clothes and clean clothes because some children and the child of her husband, instead used it to play ria. All the clothes are not small in number and up to the mountain, mixed into one including with baby clothes filled with ee. Automatically everything gets dirty and of course, it will be Arum's job because that is his duty as a son-in-law who must always serve more than a babu. Even when babu gets a reward at once a definite payment, not with him who is just a thank you, never get it.

Whereas next to the children and is a decorated living room a television that for twenty-four hours always lit up, Sumini the mother-in-law, and the, and also Anggun the princess and is the older sister of Angga, was busy watching the soap opera while spending a big can of cassava chips that both bought without even sharing it with Arum. But let alone give, offer, both do not.

No one broke the behavior of the fourteen-year-old, twelve-year-old, ten-year-old, and five-year-old children and all of them were sons of Anggun, the first child of Sumini's mother.

Pyaarrf ....

A glass and plate on the edge of the table together Anggun and Sumini's mother broke because of the busy children Anggun play. Then, what's going on?

“ARUMMMM, THIS IS ASSIGNED ... HURRY!” sumini's mother's shout was truly emotional.

Arum who was still standing in the kitchen doorway, sighed softly. Like that, and always will be. Instead of reprimanding and giving children direction as the cause of the commotion, the husband's family including the children of Grace, always make Arum as a mockery.

“Bent, Mom. I want to change first,” said Anggun still trying to be patient. His blood was still very heavy because he was too exhausted. This is the first day she gave birth. But let alone get calm, just enough rest including eating enough just not get Arum. Though the doctor was willing, after giving birth he had to rest quite more than usual. But in reality, again Arum had to work rods.

Both feet Arum already feels very sore at once hot. Arum found, both his legs had returned the offer and the magnitude was three times the size of his legs when normal. Just imagine, just giving birth, in addition to having to take care of everything himself, he is still obliged to take care of the family needs of the husband. It is really not only about cleaning the house which of course never has anything in order even though their contract is small. Not only because the residents are one RT, but also the fact that all residents require Arum to serve.

“HOW TO? WHAT WAS IT FROM EARLIER? COOKING IS NOT IN ORDER! YOU WANT TO MAKE US HUNGRY?! WASH THE SAME POTTERY WASH THE CLOTHES ALSO DO NOT SWERVE. DELIBERATELY LAMAIN LET NEIGHBOR AT PITY SEE?” snapped at Sumini's mother wrathfully while continuing to fill her mouth with balado-flavored cassava chips. But because of his actions, the fat and dark-skinned woman became choked.

So, what happened? With his leisure, Anggun whose body has become more stretched even due to his busy eating, so he must use two chairs at once to just sit down, said, “Rum, .. quickly grab Mother to drink. Don't worry you, know in-laws sprain it, still diem like a statue!”

Too tired because for five years serving continued to be treated like a prisoner of war, this time Arum really rebelled. No matter if the act made Sumini's mother's cough even more so. Including Anggun who to slam his drinking glass because Arum never listen to him let alone fulfill his orders to take a drink. Though if the intention, without having to waste time let alone create a commotion, Anggun can very well take the mother to drink.

“Dafa, fetch grandma drink!” yelling Anggun still fun sitting while watching the soap opera and spend the cassava chips.

“No need ah, tired. Mama took why? What is it tell aunt Arum. Usually, too,” reply Dafa Anggun children who are fourteen years old and have a body bongsor like Anggun.

“Cape your head! What have you been doing since then, say tired?!” Graceful wrath and look at Dafa on the terrace there.

“Lha, did Mamah's eyes not see? Mom, the work is eating! Basic slacker!” reply Dafa is no less stubborn than the mama.

The matter of taking a drink alone has immediately made the house very excited. Arum's ears to the heat hear the state of the house that looks more like hell. Because even though this fact has become commonplace and has colored Arum's daily life when he is not selling in food stalls, still Arum who is normal feels very uncomfortable. Arum felt very stressed, but again still succumbed. Arum brought drinking water for the in-laws, without cleaning his blood.

Worse, Beautiful—anak Anggun who is still a baby and is only one month old, do not stop crying due to the commotion earlier. Until the cry was transmitted to Aidan son of Arum. But again, Arum gave up. Arum took the son, took him and took him to the kitchen to take care of a line of work that Arum has done so many times today. This time it became the third round of cooking Arum because her husband's family continues to be hungry. In fact, Arum has been cooking in super portions because her husband's family is very hungry and the portions are not canned.

“Bi, cook it spout, I'm hungry!”

“Bi Arum, I'm thirsty, grab a drink!”

“Bi, my school dress has been ironed, not yet? Tomorrow for the ceremony to the district! Watch out if you haven't ironed yet, I reported Auntie to Uncle Angga!”

“Rum, quick little why? You really cook again what even bengong kayak cow toothless anyway?!” snapped at Sumini's mother. The woman could not remember, had it not been for Arum who gave her a drink, her life was over.

Neighbors said Arum was not normal because he could still survive in the middle of the family situation of the husband who was far from humane. However, not with Angga who quibbled, Arum became a rude and even dissident person just because since giving birth, some indirect work Arum can do. Though the reason Arum so, including Arum who deliberately holiday not selling in the stall because there is a red baby that must first Arum priority. The red baby who had been very Arum longed for his presence.

Not even two days because Arum just gave birth yesterday morning, but Arum has received scathing criticism from the husband's family. Mention of lazy parasites, Junior High School graduates and former ART and former TKW belagu. All these names become more and more often accompany the meaning of the husband's family to him.

It's just that, Angga is very loving and pampering his family, so that there, his family becomes ignorant. Anything is quite requested and must exist at once served. Angga will be very angry if Arum to make his family upset even just not happy.

For the sake of the child and also the integrity of the household, Arum who always prayed that her husband changed, making it and Aidan as a priority, will still be patient and survive.
