The Retaliation of a Wife Considered a Household Parasite
227: Other Side Septi
“The father Nissa still works at the next puskesmas?” ask Arum while preparing a bowl for ice gepluk which is being pureed Septi first.
“Still,” said Septi while continuing to pound the ice, even though Nissa was there too.
Nissa was still sitting in the henhouse, letting Arum tap her two long hairs, then braided them. In fact, Nissa was quieter than she was speaking. Even if he answered, Nissa just nodded or shook her head. The typical appearance of a mentally injured child. The smile and calmness that is presented are only part of the mask only so that the wound that makes it fragile is unknown to others.
“Unfortunately can't sort of move to a puskesmas closer to his newest residence, well, Sep? Pity Nissa if it's a night watch,” Arum replied.
“Not knowing that, Ma'am. You see, after school, my brain missed in the mall!” honest Septi who then laughed at himself.
Arum smiled amusedly while shaking his head. “More me, Sep. Schoolless. All I have in mind is .. how do I get a lot of money. Work to what city out of the country all because I'm tired of living hard!” reply Arum becomes moved when remembering the journey of his life.
“It was clear his mind was sane, Ma'am. Lah, .. I was .. sane recently. Previously, I was yawning!” again, Septi laughed at himself because he did not want to spend his time with things that only made him sad.
Then, Septi deliberately cleared his throat. “I keep laughing, it does not mean I do not think well, Ma'am. I'm like this because I don't want to be sad. Sad just makes the immunity go down, Ma'am. Later if I am immune I go down and I am sick, who works and feeds my child equally mamah? My father ...? Where would he want because for routine treatment he alone, he has all-out!”
Hearing that, Arum who stopped braiding Nissa, said, “Indeed, ... You don't want to marry again, Sep?” Before him, Septi who had just poured a bag of fine ice cubes into the ice flask, shook his head.
Seeing Septi who suddenly melow, Arum so sad. “Why? Marry again if something is good. You are young, you are hardworking now. Your efforts are also getting ahead!” Arum tried to convince. As he had expected, behind Septi's cheer, there was sorrow that Septi had painstakingly hidden.
“No, Ma'am. Poor Sepri. Poor mamakku also who has been determined to raise Sepri until Sepri became a successful person. Fear if I get married continue to have children again, Sepri more inferior. Why is he different from his brother especially others,” said Septi honestly. Just this time and that to Arum, he did it. Because usually, he deliberately hahahehe in order to hide his fragility. Because to be honest, Septi was too confused if Sepri later grew up and asked, why is the boy different?
While hurriedly finishing his braid, Arum asked seriously. “Pas you are pregnant, before the thousand-dimensional USG I still sell in the cafeteria, it's actually you have checked, and the doctor until you give me any instructions, or have been found out from before, not?” Arum is confused about how to ask, but the point is still the same. Because if the reason Sepri does not have a right foot predicted the effect of growth and development abnormalities, there should have been predictions from his doctor.
For Arum it is also impossible, when USG occurs and makes Sepri predicted to experience abnormalities, becoming the first examination in Septi pregnancy.
Septi. “Iya, Ma'am. Three checks, he said there was an abnormality in the right leg. But that's when my brain fell behind in the mall, Ma'am. I am the bodo time. Especially so far, I don't have a family that has a growth disorder.”
“Emang basically you used to be very bored anyway!” arum's Omelette. “That bag you must be advised to make to an obstetrician. You are directed to consult because anyway if still a fetus, there is still a chance for normal?” guess Arum. “When you go to a specialist, you will not be like now!” sure again.
reply Septi who even roared in tears. “Makanya, I punished myself by not marrying again. Let me focus on making Sepri and my mama happy. I want to spend my time repenting!” he said again while using both of his gamis arms to wipe away the origin of his tears.
Arum breathed deeply. “Ya already if it does want you. If it is your decision, hopefully everything will be launched, yes.”
“Amin, Ma'am!” reply Septi tried to pull away from his sadness. Both of his elbows are still actively wiping his tears as long as he is busy wiping away the tears.
“Hopefully Sepri can also be happy, so a useful child, so a successful child and also be the pride of all of you especially as his mom!” continued Arum.
While pounding his ice, Septi exclaimed really loudly, “Amin!”
Arum smiled, channeling it while holding Nissa. Suddenly, it crossed Arum's mind, about how Septi responded, if Septi met again with Supri?
“Sep, .. gini. If you had met Supri again, ... What would your response be? What do you want to do? What do you want to say?” ask Arum carefully.
“Amit-amit, anyway. I don't expect to see him again,” reply cynical Septi. “But of course he wants responsibility or just admits, Ma'am! Back then!” he continued still sewot, but suddenly awake, wobbly watching around. “It's secret, well, Ma'am. I used to be forced at first, constantly threatened if until the story, until finally I was confused myself. Dika Mana also remains unreliable. That's why I'm so happy at the end, Mas Angga wants responsibility. You know what I know, Mas Angga is very responsible and he is well established. You know how I felt back then, ma'am. Forced, threatened, yes it's hard I bully (craze) all of you!” he whispered and ended up sitting on the floor.
“You should be honest from the beginning!” sure Arum although most victims like Septi did choose silence.
“Although I'm honest, no one necessarily believes. And if I'm honest, I'm even married to Supret!” irritated Septi.
“It turns out so, and if I were Septi, I would also marry Supri. Already a second wife, behavior Supri also ouhai!” batin Arum who became remembered when Supri invited him to have a husband and wife relationship. The incident in front of Nur's mother's house, which the man even slandered. Although in the end, Supri even became a victim of a tragic accident and made the right leg of the man amputated. The incident which also became the beginning of the Angga family more ravaged.
“But if we had really met ...” Septi who was still sitting please deliberately hung his speech then looked at Arum. “I'll be as still as he keeps ban*ting as hard as he can, Ma'am!”
“Agree!” sergeant Arum was in immediate support.
