The Retaliation of a Wife Considered a Household Parasite
111: There is Good Progress
“Mbak Arum ..?”
The young man was really Dika. No different from Mr. Mukmin, Dika who has also been said to have not met Arum in person, is indeed pangling.
“Eh, that's small fire, it's smoky already!” reprimand the Kalandra while securing Arum. He leads Arum to retreat, securing him behind his back.
She looks very nervous and even tends to be embarrassed. Both Kalandra and Arum realized it. The young man went awry in doing everything.
“The fire is small, Dik!” Arum exclaimed enough.
“I-iya, Ma'am!” Dika was really nervous.
“That's how much is left? Fried everything,” said Kalandra still did not allow Arum to approach Dika.
Hearing Kalandra's words just now, Dika immediately dumbfoundedly stared at Kalandra's disbelief. The handsome man immediately repeated his words, as if knowing the intent of his gaze.
“Totally everything?” Dika. Kalandra immediately nodded without the slightest hesitation.
“This is still in thirties,” continued Dika.
“Ya nothing,” reply Kalandra.
“It's fried everything. This from the past, you like that, why sales? Then you are lectured expensively, yes, no innovation to make a business from the past?” sergeant Arum started nagging.
Dika grimaced in fear. Arum and Kalandra found, Arum's former sister-in-law, trembling.
“That you take from people, what make yourself?” asked Kalandra who then guided Arum to sit on the sidewalk.
While waiting for Dika to make their order, Kalandra deliberately invites Arum to sit more relaxed to interrogate Dika together.
“Initially Mas Angga made, but these two days, mamah made,” Dika story like a maling caught red-handed.
On several occasions, Dika reflexes rubbed sweat on his face and around his neck using his long arms, originally.
“So, how long have you been selling that?” continued Arum.
Dika did not immediately answer, and again looked fearfully at Arum first. “Weekly, Mbak!”
“Continue, where do you live now? Same with Mamah, right? Beautiful how are you?” continued Arum.
“In the previous contract, Ma'am. We're contracted there again. Keep Beautiful, ... already given to ...” Dika was unable to continue his story just because he was talking about Beautiful.
“Dikasinin to whom, uh? You are so careless as the love of children! Then, it is indeed the same Anggun Mbak Supri, blas 'no urusin?” arum continued emotion.
Next to Arum, Kalandra sighed softly, then embraced the wife, calming her down.
Dika also explained about Beautiful who turned out to be malnourished. Beautiful was brought by special officers to undergo intensive treatment. While Anggun and Supri, still sought by the police for abandoning Beautiful, in addition to the two who forced their children to be penge-mis.
“Amit-amit,” Inner Kalandra while rubbing his wife's stomach.
“Terus si Septi how are you? Right, same house deler what sorum his parents have sold?” continued Arum again.
Dika who finished frying everything gradually nodded. “Iya, Ma'am. Now they contract near the sub-district market.”
“Why don't you contract together just like first, so it's much more economical to spend?” kalandra looked at Dika's wonder. The most beautiful former from Septi was grimacing innocence to him.
“No way Mas, Angga must be worried. Septi contains glue that can be easily attached. Moreover, Dika same Septi is ex,” said Arum answered the husband's question.
“Oalah yes. Forgetting. Your relationship is that popping. Septi child only, stepson status mbaknya Angga,” said Kalandra.
“If I am a director, what a writer, I have made a story of the husband's conscience, the title is: My Wife's Son, My Sister's Stepson!” obviously Arum.
“In brackets : Naked Seeds Sister-in-law, The!” sergah Kalandra corrects his wife's words.
Arum giggles followed by Kalandra. Dika who just saw the compactness of the couple in front of him became cool.
“So now, your mas, what work?” continued Arum.
“Yes kayak gini too, Ma'am!” dika's reply became much more excited.
Unplanned, Arum and Kalandra compact mesem. Which, in the mind of both suddenly imagine harmony Septi and Angga who shoulder to shoulder prepare a variety of fried needs for traveling sales. However, the shadow that made them smile was even pushed aside by Dika.
“Si Septi every working day just angry, eat, same sleep. That was his life! If Mas Angga says anyway, Septi routine because again the teachings DIE!” obviously Dika.
The burden of a Kalandra's life immediately increased just because of hearing the latest news Septi which was not even better than before.
“Actually that makes your family destroyed, yes you yourself, you see. Of each of your habits. Keep talking about Septi, who brought him into your life, you. So, after everything happened, you should have thought a lot more!” said Arum who also felt, the burden of his life became increased after he heard the latest news Septi.
“Iya, Ma'am. I know.” Dika looked down regretfully. “One more, Mbak.” He stared at Arum, but then apologized intentionally. “That Mbak thanks to Mamak, we use to make this business capital.”
Hearing that, Arum immediately cried. Honestly, Arum is happy, his helping hand can be a bridge between the family to connect life. But behind all that, a series of wounds in the past immediately made Arum's heart torn. About the injustice that Arum continues to receive from Dika kinship.
“Bismillah, .. I'm sincere. After all, if my three children survived, they could also be malnourished or even always hanged by Anggun family. Yes, I believe this is the best thing for us. I really believe, as beautiful as I thought, all that God gave even that wound, always be the most beautiful for each of his people, the inner” of Arum while wiping around his eyes.
Arum does not want to drag on in grief. Because in addition to the past including his children will be much better if he returns to face life with enthusiasm, spending time with sadness will also only make Arum lose. Of course, Arum does not want to be selfish and deliberately keep the feelings of Kalandra as a family.
“Life must always go whatever we feel. Because even though in the past we were very hurt, it does not rule out the possibility of those injuries is the beginning of our happiness. Of course, we must always be better than before because that is the essence of life. Lastly, it's about the importance of appreciating including forgiving.” Arum sobbed grievously and was still trying hard.
This time, Arum stared firmly at Dika. “Even if the people you hurt claim to have forgiven you, it does not mean you just stay at the same point let alone repeat the same mistake.”
“From now on, please be a more useful person. Even if you cannot be useful to others including useful to people who have sacrificed so much to you, at least you must be useful to yourself. Don't be a slacker, let alone you are a man!” Arum ended his speech by snoring resignation. Then, his gaze was fixed on the crest, egg rolls, and various fried foods like that that are indeed being favored by people around there.
Kalandra paid more to Dika. Dika initially refuses, but Kalandra asks Dika to accept.
Despite everything, Arum became aware, there is always wisdom in every story that exists in this life. Be it a happy story, even the most painful. And Arum, he really felt it.
