The Retaliation of a Wife Considered a Household Parasite
21. Surprising News

 “What kind of woman are you?” cynical mother Fatimah said softly, right in front of Arum. Their distance was no less than half a meter.

From the front hallway, Kalandra who was initially looking around, became stopped stepping shortly after the man discovered the togetherness of Arum and Fatimah's mother. Kalandra only saw Arum's back, but if she saw the look on the face of the woman with the black scarf in front of Arum, there seems to be a dispute that is going on. Kalandra was sure, Fatimah's mother still did not accept, Septi until detained.

“Can you indulge in disgrace and continue to sow slander. Why Septi pregnancy is still you are concerned just because your husband prefers Septi!” lirih Fatimah's mother was full of emphasis. “It shouldn't have come like this. Let them marry, atone for their sins by living a better life. You're not a holy woman, Rum. You shouldn't be like this! You know a mother's prayers will always be answered, right? May you be satisfied and you always be happy after the unforgettable crimes you committed!”

“Amin .. amen yes Alloh!” arum said while nodding.

Kalandra who got to running gradually stopped her steps. He heard some of Fatimah's mother's words. “This Fatimah Mother still does not understand?” He shakes inexhaustibly. The woman before him instantly glanced at him cynically.

“I will demand back you!” fervently Fatimah's mother.

“I wait as soon as I can understand!” firmly Kalandra who long ago also furious.

Fatimah's mother glanced cynically at Kalandra then changed to Arum. “Do not, it is precisely you who have fornicated.”

Kalandra grinned, amused by the words of Fatimah's mother who made up for her. “Prove it, Mom, do not have emotions let alone bother. If it is true, we are ready to accept the consequences. But if Mother's accusation is just slander, of course Mother is much more aware of the punishment and even her sin. After all, rather than Mom busy fighting over the justice that Ma'am Arum is fighting for, I should focus more on Septi. If not wrong, the punishment for those who repeatedly commit adultery, must be stoned to death, right? I'm sure Septi has done it repeatedly because on Angga only, he is clearly not a busy mahram attached.”

Fatimah's mother immediately lost a landslide. He gasped and his cynical and sadistic gaze was no longer able to judge Arum.

“Rather than Mother is busy managing people's lives, you better focus on the life of the mother's child because the child is already the responsibility of parents. Even if I intend to take care of Ms. Arum's life, do not bear the responsibility. Give a lot of money, and glorify the lives of Ms. Arum and her children. God willing, it can be a saving Mother into Heaven. Lastly, I am waiting for the report!” Kalandra nodded casually. He really does not mean to be insolent, but human class mother Fatimah who in the name of faith as well as religion as a cover, must be dealt with firmly so that they are not arbitrarily.

In the afternoon, Arum and Kalandra leave the police station in the district. Arum and Nur's mother sat in the passenger seat. Their journey, they went through with silence. Only occasionally was heard a small cry from Aidan who would instantly calm down when Arum was timang. At about six in the afternoon, they arrived at Arum's shop whose goods were being issued by several market people. They help Arum move because the new tenant has also bought his goods

“This ... is it really? Ma'am Arum does not want to appeal first? Or, I tomboki first, pay him using my money first, later if the ransom from Angga comes out, then Mbak take care of,” said Kalandra who was still sitting behind his wheel. He deliberately turned back to look at Arum who was behind him.

Arum sighed softly. “I do not want to close the path of sustenance people because new tenants are ready for trade, Mas. There is already an agreement between the shopkeeper and the new tenant. They really are not wrong because of the wrong one, the Angga.”

Wah ..., Inner Kalandra was completely shocked. “Crus, ... Where are you going? I'm here, I'm with you. So, what next Monday? I also still want to order rice boxes because people also directly match the cuisine Mbak Arum.”

Arum's confused. He looked down lethargic. “Later I will make it, Mas.” For him, pamali refused sustenance especially it was related to Kalandra who had helped him. Kalandra was very helpful to him.

“Oh, means Mbak Arum already has a new shop?” kalandra Sergah who was honest immediately felt relieved.

Arum shook his head weakly. “Numbered, Mas. Still thinking while looking. But for routine orders Mas every Monday, I will still make it.”

“Oh ...,” shrewd Kalandra while nodding.

Moments later, they become part of Arum's luggage. For a while, all the goods were put in a market warehouse, a shared warehouse. Throughout, Arum who had already considered the shophouse like his own shop, several times shed tears. While carrying Aidan, Arum looked very limp. Several times the woman wiped around the eyes then sighed softly. Arum seemed to force himself to toughen up. Making the seeing including Kalandra who knows the journey of Arum's struggle, the more unbearable.

Tonight, Arum will be staying at Nur's mother's house. The clothes and other necessities had been brought by the woman's daughter. While just now, Kalandra pamit.

“Thank you very much, Mas. Say hello to Mas's wife. If indeed Mas's wife craves boiled noodles or other dishes, do not hesitate to contact me,” said Arum and immediately replied with a smile as young as by Kalandra. The man entered the car with a cheerful smile.

Arum who was initially releasing the Kalandra car, reflexes turned his head then nodded amid the remaining smile adorning his face. “Already, Mom. The reason we know was because mas Kalandra night-night buy boiled noodles for his wife who again craved.”

In her silence, Nur's mother said, Kalandra has a special interest in Arum until the man is very attentive to Arum even Aidan. But in fact, the man actually had a wife who was craving. It's nothing, anyway. Although at first I thought they would be a match. Part of the name is a mate does not have to get married because it can only be good friends also like a soul mate so good friends. And hopefully, Arum can also be a good mate, many times better than Angga! thought.

Watching his shophouse is already inhabited by other people's shop needs, Arum's heart felt crumpled. Some of the woman's life seemed to go away until sudden weakness mastered. Inne's mother, who was part of a transfer event there, approached Arum and apologized.

Today, Arum closes his busy life with a lot of learning. A series of shocking and successful events make his emotions go up and down, really Arum will never forget. Together with Nur's mother, he walked towards the woman's house.

“Oalah Rum, forgot ... earlier Rani said that her mosquito repellent was exhausted. Stop by first, yuk!” said Nur's mother who immediately changed the purpose of her steps. He entered one of the shops located not so far from the former shop Arum.

Not even thirty minutes at Nur's mother's house, Arum who had just wiped Aidan, told Rani by Nur's mother's daughter, that Supri came looking for Arum.

“Ya already, Ma'am. Meet first, he said it was important. Deck Aidan let me take care. Already handsome fragrant also Dek Aidannya,” said Rani with an anxious smile looking at the red baby in the middle of the guest room bed that will be the temporary residence of Arum and Aidan there.

Arum who also immediately responded to the news from Rani seriously, hurried to make sure. Honestly, he was astonished, confused, but also worried about the intention of the arrival of Supri. But Arum believes, the main reason for Supri coming, is still related to the detained Angga.

Supri waited on a wooden bench on the front porch of Nur's mother's residence. The man who until this moment still wears sunglasses immediately smiled and looked impatient to welcome the arrival of Arum. A reality that immediately made Arum regretted having taken his time for the man. Because Arum is sure, if Supri is so definitely not good news let alone important, but for the affairs are somewhat crazy.

“Rum,” said Supri who has stood up. His hands rubbed against each other in front of his stomach.

Arum did not answer and deliberately kept his distance even so, Supri remained close.

“Rather than you stay here, ... I have the contract ready, yes?” said Supri who whispered.

“What do you mean, say so?” reply Arum cynical.

Supri sighed quickly, advancing closer even though Arum also kept his distance. The woman who was getting more beautiful was looking at him with a fierce look like usual.

“Rum, when you still do not understand too? Seriously, I love you. I'll love you all you want!” Supri.

Arum shakes inexhaustibly. “You talk like it's sober, is it a trance? Take care of your children's same wife not becus, uh this even ...”

“Yes, Rum. That business is justin. What matters is that we are both happy. Septi just hooked with my serve!” sergeant Supri.

“Hah ..?” Arum was completely shocked and instantly speechless. What Supri just said is like news and a shocking fact.

“Yes that's why you want to, yes. I promise, I will give you more special love. We will be working around the terminal. The contract is much better!” Supri is busy convincing.

Though Arum who is still very shocked, even more disgusted to Supri even Septi who had been with Supri. It's absolutely incredible!
