The Retaliation of a Wife Considered a Household Parasite
2: Household Parasites

It was really tiring, but until the afternoon until Angga finally came home, there was no work that Arum really finished. The woman had just washed three large buckets of her husband's family clothes. Everything Arum washes by hand to save money on electricity bills, even though there is a washing machine.

From the kitchen door, Arum looked at the man's husband and family togetherness. As usual, it was not Arum or Aidan that Angga would look for, but his family. Arum often thinks, his presence there is only used to take care of and ease the burden of family life. Moreover, some kind of food souvenirs were never left for Arum. Everything was immediately brushed out by her husband's family who like to eat but lazy to work even just cleaning themselves. Aroma is unpleasant because they do not bathe for a long time, until it often makes Arum nauseous because it smells even though Arum is not in the cravings phase. In addition, Angga also never asked the family, including children from Anggun, to respect Arum.

As usual, Anggun, Sumini's mother, and also the Anggun children will complain about Arum's performance all day. And still remain as usual, still no one feels satisfied and branded Arum as lazy. Arum was already too memorized, and he chose abai. It is too tired and will get more tired if he delays the work that was never done. To his right, the sink is full of dishes as well as dirty pottery. Both pans on the stove are clean without contents even a few drops. While on the floor, the glass and pot including the rice pan were empty without filling. In fact, Arum's stomach has repeatedly sounded because from morning and will until morning again, he has not eaten. Arum just stuck his stomach by drinking as much water as possible which even makes him bloated, especially repeatedly washing also makes him cold.

“Mas Angga, please it's Aidan crying. I'm still drying clothes. Lagian want magrib too, pamali if the baby is not guarded,” said Arum and this time deliberately called for the husband to hear because until now, he said, the television in the living room was still on and was indeed tuned in a loud voice. Although because of this fact, the stitches used to give birth feel increasingly painful.

In fact, Angga and his family knew in the front room next to their common room, the red baby was still sleeping and was left doing everything. If you have to return Arum who takes care of, of course the work that Arum is taking care of will be more wrong.

“So the wife, the new husband came home instead of being prepared to drink what to eat, even rumbling! Just divorce why, no, no! Wife doesn't use it! SMP and former TKW graduates do that, do not know manners. The ones with the same doubt are shy!” said Sumini's mother.

Arum who was originally drying the clothes of the Anggun children using a hanger, reflexes quieted with his blood as if boiling. Not only his chest felt burning, but also his entire body at once his life. Emotion, and Graceful really can't stand it. Snapping him closer, throwing half-drenched clothes in his right hand, at the table together there. Everything seemed shocked at once angry, did not accept what Arum had just done and hit the rest of the cheese chocolate martabak that was being eaten greedily.

What made Arum disappointed until this time he could not hold back his tears, the husband still did not look pity. The husband was still engrossed in holding me Beautiful, even though in their room next door, Aidan was already crying.

“I'm sure you guys aren't budding. I'm sure you've heard Aidan's cries. Mas, Aidan is your son! Aidan is your son, not a demon! So please, don't let your child also you love, residual affection because Aidan is not an orphan!”

“From yesterday I have not rest let alone sleep. Take care of the baby, take care of you, take care of this house that is not finished and I have not eaten a blouse! My body is very tingling, it's not very good!”

“Calculate a little why? You're really human, aren't you, not just a demon? Surprised, same baby, still your flesh and blood are calculating. He was educated and always wanted me poor, uneducated even your household parasites!”

“Don't just because I've been quiet all this time, not because I can work and take care of everything without complaining to you guys, you guys especially Mas as a husband, don't care much less appreciate!”

“In this house I work alone. Wash clothes, cook, broom and clean-up which is not enough to be repeated three times a day. When I was TKW it was not like this. In the days of the company was not this fleeting.”

“Nothing really helps, you know. Instead I was told to, .. I was yelled at, like a binary making a mistake. Not only yelled at by the adults, but also by the baby children! Though I am sure, Anggun Ma'am who has asthma can still move freely especially if the intention! In this world it is not only the Anggun Ma'am who is sick with asthma. There are still a lot out there. There are a lot of asthma out there but it can still work. They can take care of their children and even take care of themselves. Lha, Ma'am .. just eating should I prepare, I suggest.”

“In this world no one can. Which can't be just an excuse because it's basically lazy! If Mbak Anggun can not work hard, it does not mean Mbak ngak-ngapain, absolutely do not want to be tired. From the baby to all the children, including Ma'am, I take care. I took a shower. Later, maybe the husband's business should also be taken care of even muasin? Miris!”

“If it is just taking care of children alone can not even seem to be unwilling, yes do not make children! We are small, poor, Mas Angga not Raffi Ahmad who can love you sultan life because if Mas Angga does not work, you must lack, ALTHOUGH MBAK ANGGUN NOT A WIDOW!”

“Bangetan. Time yes, just eat fumbling, just take a drink what does not eat yourself able to? You have no heart. Unfeeling. Wh why? Want to say I'm a household parasite just because since Mas Angga married me, Mas Angga has to spare me?”

“Do not fret! Husband is indeed his duty to support his wife. Wife and son number one after husband was fulfilling himself. The rest include parents, let alone siblings, as much as possible. Money is indeed to be sought, not just nodong, ask and must exist!”

Arum roared amid his tears. “Yes God, I am a wife, .. I am a daughter-in-law, I am in law in this house but I am treated like this! Slaves alone are still loved for mercy, this is me who came to be the backbone even like doormat poor people whose lifestyle is not canned make kebanting, gini so much!”

Some neighbors came, looking worriedly from the door that was still left perfectly open. This fact made Angga and his family disturbed.

“What's up, Rum? Geez ... You haven't been sorted out yet?” tegur mothers in yellow hijab.

Angga stood up roughly then handed Beautiful over to Anggun who was sitting on the wooden chair next to him. The sister who was just breathing just sounded very bored, besides her body that was easily sweaty and did have a body three times bigger than her was looking down sad without a fight. Anggun fondle Beautiful full of affection until the fact makes Angga feel very angry with Arum. Angga stared at the angry Arum who for him had been very and indeed more outrageous.

Arum again grimaced grimly because the Sejago was Graceful if the show tricked Angga. Truly a feathery wolf! Intentionally make Arum more dilapidated in the eyes of Angga. “See how good Mbak Anggun is at acting, ... Dian Sastro just lost!”

Hearing that, the three mothers immediately complained about the behavior of Angga and the Angga family to Angga. They're all rude to Arum.”

“You're all idlers! The body is swollen more than the elephant, obesity is the same as its children! Where every time it's noisy, like the only ones with ears are you! Sumini's mother again, is old but can not be educated and even make a dilapidated!” said the mothers in yellow hijab earlier and immediately justified by his two colleagues.

Angga who did not want the problem to widen, deliberately closed the door and drove the three mothers out rather forcefully. He locked the door.

“Now I ask. How much money did I eat? Let's count. Salary of four million four hundred. Two million for Mbak Anggun because the word Mas, has become a duty of Mas. Because even though Mas is not the first child, for Mas who feels to be the wife of the father as well as the head of the family, the sister will be the responsibility of Mas until Mas dies! So Mas love two million to Mbak every month because Mbak has many children and also many needs!”

In order to reduce the tightness in his chest, Arum deliberately paused his speech. He sighed deeply, then again said as he looked at Angga who was already standing before him, full of pain, “Then, eight hundred thousand for Mother, five hundred thousand for Andika, seven hundred thousand to pay for the contract, two hundred thousand to pay for electricity. The rest is still often asked to buy gasoline and cigarettes, while with the rest of the money, you require me to prepare a complete meal in the kitchen and each day can run out above one hundred thousand!”

“Enough, Rum. You sassy this!” firm Angga wrath. His right hand was already trembling and was already eager to slap Arum.

“I'm not done talking Mas!” sergeant Arum still could not finish his cry, no less loud than the cry of Aidan. Nevertheless, not a single bit of Sumini's mother moved closer and calmed Aidan until Arum pushed Angga from before him and then stepped quickly toward Aidan.

“Don't forget, the reason your home and land are being chased is not because of me. Your house and land are sold for alm's medical expenses. Sired. Continue the rest to lecture Dika, make capital business mas Supri husband Mbak Anggun. Buy Dika and Supri as well. Keep the rest making anggun mbak cesare! So please, from now on stop labeling me as a household parasite!” Unmitigated, Arum deliberately slammed the door of his room in closing while locking it.

Angga shook his head inexhaustibly seeing his wife. Then, he saw his family who at that moment also became moody including graceful children. This fact made his mind suddenly adorned with the advice of Dawn. Talks and threats of divorce. Both of these things are believed to Dawn even Angga can make a wife who for them can not do without a husband, become a personal obedience.

“If you don't like it, you'll say enough because whenever you say, I'm ready to let you go. We're really gonna be done. I'll tell you if you act again!” assertive Angga, but he was only able to do it inwardly. In fact, he loved Arum very much. Of course, the presence of Aidan was also a strong reason for them to be fine. Hence, with a weak tone of voice far drastically different from before, he said, “Rum. I'm sorry.” He stood loyo in front of the door of his room without knowing, his mother and brother who were behind him, glaring perfectly.

In the room, Arum, who was holding me and holding Aidan, said, “Now tell me, ..Where is my fault, Mas? What are my dates to Mas and this family? Do you want me to be a submissive wife and be quiet enough as Ma'am Mas? Yes Alloh, Mas ..so I want it so. It's so happy that I could be. I can do that, but if I do, there is a body of the same mind Mas crushed because of the working day and also have to keep taking care of the house and its contents. Maybe now Mas still can because Mas is still healthy. Later, if Mas is sick, especially we may not be forever healthy, what would this family be?”  

“Basic wong gemblung! Crazy wife, can-can doain husband sick even die!” shouted Sumini's mother who was that second also coughed.

Amid the cries of Aidan who was decorated with screams, Arum who was still staring at his son immediately smiled vilely. Outside, Angga sounded directly reprimanding the mama. In a soft voice, Angga asked Sumini's mother to shut up.

“What can this family do without me? Don't forget, just make a daily meal, if not from my food, this family is hungry because for food and dues, everything is purely from the residual money of Mas Angga and the rest of my war money. You should thank me, you guys. You should be grateful and self-aware, that household parasite is me what YOU ARE!”

“Already, Rum .. open the door.” Angga still persuaded.

“You are so not going to change let alone fix things, Mas. When are you going to, you like this? When are we going to, we are like this? If the way Mas continues to be, and Aidan also only get residual affection from Mas, from now on I want to let it go. From now on, I'm going to split up, Mom. So much more would make me spoil Aidan. Rather than here, he was already tired of dying and Aidan was also unkempt. My time is up to take care of the Mas family who are more suitable to be a soap opera.” Arum was steady with his decision.

Angga is confused and too shocked by Arum's decision. “Ya Alloh, Rum, I'm sorry.”
