The Retaliation of a Wife Considered a Household Parasite
27: Suspicious Calandra
“Indeed Mas don't smell the stench?” Arum still asked very carefully because after all, what he asked was quite sensitive. Do not let, just because of his curiosity but it is part of his concern for Kalandra, their relationship was destroyed.
Although it seems to be evasive, Arum felt a Kalandra became agitated due to his question. It was as if someone was deliberately trying to hide it.
“Bau rotting how, anyway, Mbak Arum?” Kalandra looked at Arum with a frustrated look.
Arum difficult to interpret the gaze of the man before him, but he saw a wound that is so big and middle Kalandra hide. Moreover, Kalandra was immediately agitated.
“Mas Kalandra, healthy?” Because last time, Kalandra Arum knew taking drugs catch wind. Even Arum made it with warm sweet tea. Now, the man before him nodded, a very stiff nod and even made Arum doubtful. Arum doubted Kalandra's answer. The man seemed not to want to be disturbed by his personal affairs even just a matter of health. Kalandra clearly just want to discuss their cooperation without anything else.
“I am a little flu, and my smell has started to be disturbed, Ma'am.” Kalandra spoke understandingly, trying to convince. From the way Arum asked, he realized the woman was trying to find information from him. “But it shouldn't be covid, anyway, Ma'am. But it is not clear to the smell.”
Duh, if I keep forcing, the effect I am outrageous, inner Arum.
“What a foul smell how, anyway, Ma'am? How serious is that?” kalandra continued because Arum's silence was also accompanied by anxiety. The woman seemed to be wrong at the same time not feeling good to him.
Arum sighed softly. “It ... duh me so it's not good to say, Mas.”
“Yes already, Ma'am, just say it, nothing really. My nose is a nuisance again.” Kalandra.
“Iya, Mas. Sorry anyway, from ... duh, ..”
“Iya, Ma'am, nothing, just say.” Kalandra is convincing. He smiled even though the smile he produced was far from happy let alone warm.
“Piercing kayak ..” Arum was silent for a moment. It is heavy to continue. “Bang .. kai, Mas.” He did not intend to tell the case of Aidan who also became a foul smell after leaving the house Kalandra. Arum is afraid that Kalandra will get depressed. Yes, the man showed absolutely no signs of being offended, but tended to be sad and depressed.
“B-carcass, Mbak?”
After a moment of silent confusion, Kalandra was also suddenly shocked but Arum felt that the man was just pretending. Surely it would be wrong if Arum continued to force the man to the story.
I think it should be slow. But how come Mas Kala also got a bad smell, huh? The source is indeed Mas Kala, is it in the house and is still in contact with Mas kala? Thought Arum who again smiled wryly in the middle of reality who was still staring at Kalandra. The man hung up his clothes, as if trying to find the source of the foul smell in question.
Arum rushed to Kalandra. He approached the part he suspected and sure enough, he almost vomited. Nevertheless, he still pointed to the part he suspected.
“Hah ..?” Kalandra is confused.
“It's from there, Mas.” Arum reassuring because when viewed up close, the former is fairly broad, as if Kalandra has been holding it, it looks very clear.
“Oh .. ah, ... this .. geez I forgot that this morning, my wife's cat died and I found it dead, Ma'am. I reflexively carried the cat because my wife was hysterical when she knew her favorite cat had died. Duh, the effect of forgetting and the nose is also a nuisance, I am not aware.” Kalandra was really nervous, but she deliberately went straight to change clothes first. He tells Arum that he has a change of clothes in the trunk of his car.
Why are you so busy explaining if everything is okay? If the scent of carcass is indeed from his wife's cat who died, why did mas Kala have to be as loud, even as sweet as that? And if it's really the stench of a cat carcass, Aidan's last night's case of foul smell, why? Because of cats too? Including about the sensitivity and concern of Mas Kala's wife, .. when a wife, does not correct the appearance of her husband who wants to leave when they are in the same place? Thought Arum while taking off Kalandra's departure. The man left him in such a hurry that he grew suspicious.
“Try how later. If the mas Kala until the stench again after the mas Kala from home, the problem is at home. But if the Kala mas still stinks even though the Kala mas has not been home, then the problem is in the Kala mas. You see the reason that mas Kala gave earlier I think less reasonable,” thought Arum who intends to do research if he stopped by the house Kalandra again. Despite all Arum's suspicions, the woman wishes everything well. But how do I get curious about his wife mas Kala, huh? Arum suddenly pondered for a moment. A husband to tears because his wife is hard to eat, while when I went there last night and Aidan to be taken to see his wife, .. instead of me meeting his wife, there is even a foul smell Aidan. Or maybe, his wife mas Kala is sick so can't come out to see me, huh? In fact, mas Kala alone as familiar as it is the person, the time of his wife who I masakin still have no intention to meet me? Or maybe even, the pain of his wife mas Kala, which became the source of the stench? Arum was more busy wondering, and the estimated source of rot in Kalandra was broken because after changing clothes, noon to afternoon, Kalandra who returned, fine. The man no longer smelled bad. Same thing happened to Aidan. Aidan returned fragrant and did not smell bad again after Arum cleaned.
“Septi parents want to redeem Angga because for them, Angga's work can still be forgiven with guarantees. They will make sure Angga does not hands off to Aidan.” Kalandra said seriously annoyed.
Arum who is still busy cooking directly bengong at once lemes. “She wants to be married directly to Septi, yes? Like, the reason Septi's parents redeemed this was that Angga's origin was free because they wanted Angga to marry Septi as soon as possible?”
“Mbak Arum do not have to be afraid because if Mbak does want, even though it is only a few months of confinement, my advice goes forward let them kapok.” Kalandra.
“But really, the law is impressed so it can be purchased anyway, Mas?” lamented Arum who was honestly disappointed even though he had already earned thirty million money. Kalandra has given her money and just counted.
“That's a kind of mediation, Ma'am. If you want to continue, go to the court. But if Mbak mikih be given compensation, yes the case is closed and Mbak has not been able to lead again.”
Arum did not answer immediately, but he remembered Supri's confession to Septi. “Actually I suspect that Septi's son is Supri, Mas. I know Angga may not care, but is that fact Supri's son can make a meaningful change?”
“It will only be the business of those who undergo, Ma'am. You see from the case of Mbak, the ex-husband of Mbak is not a typical who will care about anything other than his family. It could be that, for the sake of the integrity of the mother's household, he was still willing to marry Septi. While to Aidan, I am very sure he still does not care even though maybe there will be a letter of agreement he is obliged to make a living to Aidan. So my advice, let's just a deterrent man, even if only a few months, continued the jailing. In order for Septi and his family also kapok already justify zina!” kalandra Sergah.
“Ya already, Mas. Just like that. Just continue.“ Arum was steady with his decision. Because both Angga and Septi even seemed to deliberately invite war.
