The Retaliation of a Wife Considered a Household Parasite
131: Rationing Matters

“Have felt more relieved?” asked Arum when returning after preparing warm water for Kalandra bath.

Kalandra immediately commented a smile while nodding.

“Yang in the stomach already has movement, loh.”

“Hah? Mass?” News from Arum immediately made Kalandra shocked. He hurriedly sat down, then fumbled Arum's stomach using both hands.

“Under, Mas. Like a twitch. How do you explain, yes?” reply Arum.

Next to Kalandra, the newly awakened Aidan immediately sat down, looked at them and looked dumb. The boy's expression was adorable. Kalandra laughed at him. Finally, the source of their happiness returns. Like, their sun, Kalandra, has again shone radiant warmth in the togetherness of their small family.

“Mas shower first, later I want to try to make a four-month event tomorrow,” said Arum while leaving together there. Kalandra who was holding Aidan, gradually ended it.

“Mas, this is your hair that does not grow, think what country? Dizziness, huh?” kalandra said while stroking Aidan's head.

Arum who started to dismantle the mattress in the cot, immediately laughed. “Have been given celery, candlenut, aloe vera, still have to be patient, Pah! Long time Mas Aidan actually visited crocodiles actually the same mbah uti.”

“Ngapain bother datengin crocodile if every day has come?” said Kalandra who got out of bed but instead brought Aidan.

“Yang Mas mean who?” Arum.

“Yes Hajj sir, who else?” Kalandra laughs amusedly.

Arum immediately laughed. But his attention was divided and made him not laugh anymore. It turns out that Kalandra took Aidan to take a bath, they took a bath together.

“Mas Kala why, huh? What kind of pregnant? Melow he's a kebangetan. Tumben, .. but my cravings were almost bought by Mas Kala all,” Arum thought.

Since the two permanent residents are always the main cause of the messy bed is bathing, Arum deliberately rush to clean it up. Because even though there are helpers, some kind of cleaning the room including taking care of all the needs of the husband and child and even in-laws, as much as possible Arum still does it himself.

Today Angga is back on sale in a junction not far from the restaurant, but Arum who knows it deliberately does not come out let alone meet. For the sake of security as well as the common good, besides Arum who does not know how to react. Arum does not want to hurt many parties let alone to sacrifice one of them.

“Think, every day eating at the diner, broke me, Rum. Tekor!” said Haji sir who was sitting on the lower floor seat.

Arum who was there and happened to be watching the atmosphere, only shook his head slowly. “Nobody asked let alone told, loh!”

“Ya already if so, I propose to be the boss, how?” said pak Haji.

“Everywhere applying for a job is an employee, this is even a boss,” said Kalsum's mother who is still busy teaching Aidan the way.

“Lah, live if you can take the fun, throw away the ban, Miss DPR!” say Haji sir while sitting more relaxed. Both hands he stretched holding on to the back of the wooden seat of his existence.

“Ya still, situ delay,” reply mother Kalsum without a single glance at the concerned. What's more at lunchtime like now, a lot of people come and he's worried about Aidan.

“Yes already, if so I apply to be a dishwasher only, but the washing machine so I do not bother very much. Not to bother, right?” said mr. Haji.

Arum just shakes inexhaustibly. “Indeed the money of the Hajj sir is already thin?”

Mr. Haji nodded, but then shook his head. “Si Fatimah, I got married without wanting, well, Rum?”

Arum direct mesem. Since there was Fatimah's mother, the love of Pak Haji was not only aimed at her. Because since Fatimah's mother was widowed, the heart of Pak Haji also branched after the new widow.

“I see, Fatimah's mother more than her father Septi.” What Arum saw was so, besides Arum who was also convinced, Fatimah's mother wanted to follow in his footsteps. Being an elegant widow who is successful and grateful can be an established handsome husband, good-natured responsibilities as well.

“Obviously I'm better, Rum!” sergeant Pak Haji is sure.

“Mbah, if Mbah until marriage again, later the same bill spending more and more. Earlier Mbah himself who just complained, eating here continues to be almost bankrupt?” reprimand the mother of Kalsum who happened to pass in front of them.

“I mean to be invited to live hard, so? Nadjeez .. nadjeez!” spray mother Kalsum.

Before his stomach was completely stiff, the busy Arum held back a laugh, choosing to leave from there. It means to monitor the ones on the terrace. But just at the door, the arrival of the husband immediately diverted his attention.

Kalandra who immediately commented on the smile, came carrying two bags of white crackles.

Arum approached and sure, Kalandra reason there because Aidan. He took the pouch in Kalandra's right hand, then greeted the hand with reverence.

“Kangen?” todong Kalandra direct.

Arum glanced in confusion as his manyuning lips. While staring at Kalandra, Arum said, “I, miss Mas? Of course!”

Kalandra immediately mesem then kissed Arum's forehead. “Sorry because I've gone too far. What I did all night yesterday even until this morning, must have made you worry.”

“Iya, anyway,” Ogre Arum who then glanced at once staring at Kalandra. Of course, she is not ashamed to directly hug her husband, especially anyway, Arum does miss. Arum longs for their unburdened togetherness. Arum wants them to focus on being as happy as ever.

Kalandra hugged Arum.

“Nadjeezz ... nadjeez, new come already showing off intimacy!” lament Pak Haji did not accept between jealousy, envy, but also self-conscious can not be as beautiful as Arum and Kalandra.

“Aidan not kangen Papah?” yelling Kalandra still hugging Arum.

Hearing Kalandra's voice, Aidan immediately searched. The boy also immediately rushed over while laughing to call Kalandra cheerfully. It was as if Aidan was expressing his feelings that the presence of Kalandra was very he later and indeed always made him happy.

Kalandra immediately took Aidan, but he also did not release Arum. Kalsum's mother who saw her son's hassles accidentally took over Aidan's innate pocket. They went together to Arum's workspace which was also their place of togetherness while there.

“I'm jealous that Aidan is with Angga. Kok yes, from last night I became your cuekin and just focus on Aidan,” Kalandra while staring at the wife who immediately opened her luggage. There are several packages of rujak, pecel, and also dawet ayu.

“Aware?” asked Arum while mesem staring at Kalandra.

Kalandra who had sat down and laid her back on the sofa, replied with an innocent smile. “From the morning I felt, how could there be anything less, but what is it? Oh yes I forgot. Ye. Pantes, it doesn't taste very good.”

Arum, who was touched by Kalandra's words, hurriedly embraced her spoiled husband.

Kalandra who also hugged Arum, again apologized, regretting her decision that dissolved regardless of Arum.

“Just last night was worried about this, what if we suddenly LDR, Mas?” tanya Arum deliberately mocked her husband.

“I follow. Wherever I follow. Not anything on the road that is important to meet!” sure Kalandra while looking at Arum.

“Ya already, do not worry anymore, anyway there is Mas who lost,” reply Arum.

“Iya, vow of money, overnight until forgot to ask for rations,” complained Kalandra.

Kalsum's mother, who happened to be sitting on the floor checking every WA on her phone, immediately chuckled. “What is it, Mas?”

“You are there?” Calandra ketar-ketir while holding back laughter.

“From yesterday it was the same Mom!” scold Arum who laughs at her husband. Kalandra's cheeks are already instantly red. The man looked down long enough and looked very embarrassed especially Kalsum's mother did not hesitate to flirt.

“Mas bring dawet ayu, I remember the Dawn. Pas I same papah datengin him to the bank, the Widy will meet next to the handler ayu!” Given the incident let alone the incident of Dawn to the top, Arum could not not not laugh. Including Kalsum's mother. Throughout together especially when sipping dawet ayunya, the two women were excited.

Meanwhile, in a different place, the pongah Fajar and deliberately always wear a mask to cover his teeth that have not been renovated, accidentally saw Septi. Septi came alone to the bank and appeared to go to the cashier.

“That's the Septi who's really rich, right, whose house is just level? How to be a mom, huh? She's divorced from Angga, isn't she? Already ah, just brush!” the Inner Dawn deliberately left her seat in the teller area. He deliberately approached Septi and would pretend, as if their meeting just happened to resemble a romantic drama.
