The Retaliation of a Wife Considered a Household Parasite
5: Talaq

“You really want to get married again, Mas?” Arum repeated his question. His chest was already rumbling withstanding anger as well as being disappointed. The freshness that he felt from bathing and shampooing using warm water, instantly disappeared because the news just made his body baked. His body had indeed been roasted by the burning emotions. Arum can be sure, anyone who dares to tease him now, he will definitely burn.

Upset, Arum pulled the arm of the husband who remained silent and turned his back. He intended to make Angga look back at him, but the man instead splashed his hand prisoner until there, his thin body slammed and ended up sitting on the floor after before also slamming.

“I just asked, Mas!” lirih Arum is full of emphasis. He who sat facing Angga, finally released his tears. Not only because the former stitches of his birth canal are still wet, it immediately feels very painful due to slamming. But really all the sacrifices as well as his devotion so far to the Angga family.

“You keep getting angry, ... how am I not emotional?” sergeant Angga defended himself while staring inexhaustibly Arum thought. He squatted down a bit, then stretched out his hands, but Arum shook his head, refusing to give his hands.

“You are the one your son asked to make sure they can be emotional, I have been like this, and even now reportedly you want to marry again, but you hope I keep quiet?”

“Why do you keep cornering my mother? You have such a grudge against my mother, what how?!” sergeant Angga emotion.

Arum who was aware of all the eyes and ears there had listened to the togetherness as well as his chatter and Angga, immediately nodded. He had too understood that for Angga, the family is like a diamond and himself even Aidan is only a number so. Steady Arum's decision to divorce with his heart which again crumpled fainter. “Ya already, answer my question first, Mas!” sue Arum with a soft voice because his voice suddenly stuck in the throat. The sudden condition felt so painful that even just sounding and breathing, he had difficulty.

But in order to maintain the rest of self-esteem that has been repeatedly trampled, Arum again tried hard and his gaze was straight on both eyes Angga.

The sudden atmosphere was somewhat silent and made the chatter of Arum and Angga. Including that pained groan Supri and also Sumini's mother who had been busy calming earlier.

“Septi is pregnant, while Dika who is two months away to Jakarta is difficult to contact. Previously Dika has resigned 'do not want responsibility to me—”

Arum immediately cut off the husband's explanation. “So, you want to marry again and that's with Septi just because Dika your favorite sister who impregnates, go do not want responsibility? Yes look, .. This is the upbringing of you who feel like a substitute father. This is the result of your best upbringing being the head of the household. Everything is pampered, directed to lifestyle when in fact it does not have. You are behind making a living, they are lazy to be parasites and even damage the lives of others. I've been no less well, Mas, give you direction.”

“The Septi family has threatened to report the case to the police and I have no choice but to marry Septi because Septi and his family, want, Rum!”

Angga's reply, which was still filled with emotion, made Arum want to run amok. “Ya means you guys are a good fit. You guys are dating because only cheap women who want to be married by people's husbands!”

“You don't understand how hard it is to be in my position, Rum!” sergeant Angga.

“Males. My time is too precious to deal with this family including you, Mas.” Arum stood alone. “Five years, ... it is not a short time,” he said when he was standing in front of Angga.

Faced with reality as it is now, what is in memory as well as mastering the life of Angga is only a suggestion from Dawn. Talks and divorce. Dawn said, both of these are the ultimate moves to silence a wife's rebellion. The dawn of reason has proved it and now the wife becomes a obedient person.

“If you remain unlicensed I remarry. We are really divorced!”

Five years serving as a wife, daughter-in-law, and brother-in-law who care for the husband's family. Arum even became the backbone of the large family of the husband like a dairy cow until Arum miscarried three times. But in fact, in addition to still be considered as a household parasite just because since marrying Arum, the income and attention of Angga must be divided into Arum until the Angga family who used to get rations intact into wrath, now Arum is also forced to accept Angga's marriage.

Already dazed by the threat of Angga just now, Arum's small heart that from the beginning strengthened, attracted the beautiful yellow-skinned woman to reality. “Thank you very much, Mas. Thank you very much for all the hurt, humiliation, and also the suffering that you and your family have given me, even to Aidan and the brothers of Aidan who you have KILLED!”

Not only Angga was confused by Arum's reply. Because the Angga family is also more confused. Why should Arum thank him if it was for his injuries? Is it true that for Aidan, Arum is willing to be combined? Will Arum marry Angga and Septi? Thought Sumini's mother, Anggun, and also Supri.

All your decisions I support, Rum. Later you are the same as me, inner Supri is really curious about the continuation of the decision that Arum will take.

“For me, five years is more than enough, Mas. Even if I become a maid in the country, serving that long can make me rich.” Arum still spoke firmly while addressing togetherness full of tranquility. “I appreciate your decision, and I accept your talent because I do not want to be made continue to be miserable by you. When I was your only wife, I got the rest even I joined the backbone of the Mas family, how are you doing if you have a wife of two even more?” Arum smiled bitterly and deliberately mocked Angga. “Thank you very much. You and your family are really great because you can keep people trapped in hell even if that person is not dead.”

“You may remarry, but settle me first both religion and law. For a moment, I'll call RT sir and the people to formalize your talaq. Let them be witnesses, and let no more slander!” sergeant Arum.

Arum did not want to rampage or re-coar his anger. For he is sure, God knows better and the recompense of God is usually more heinous. In fact, Arum feels grateful Angga will marry again to make him who is very eager to divorce has a reason to immediately get his freedom ticket.

Arum did not go and deliberately brought Aidan or two knapsacks containing clothes and needs and Aidan. It wasn't wrong last night to pack. In fact, God was so good to him that God made his instincts to prepare everything. Including the marriage book or KK. All that he has saved because according to information from neighbors who have advised Arum to divorce from Angga, if Arum only holds one marriage book, the fact will not be strong enough to take care of the divorce. And without that too, Angga could not marry officially in the eyes of the law because after all, Angga could not marry, Angga is married and Arum as the new wife will allow Angga to marry officially in the eyes of the law if the man has already settled it.

“Wong bloated, can-can you want to stop?!” sumini's mother stepped in half running towards Arum. He felt confused why Angga just silent like a statue without even holding Arum.

“Where are you going? What do you want!?” Sumini's mother exploded. Both of his eyes glared sharply at Arum like a possessed person.

“Mom asked that because I realized, if I go, so no one takes care of this family?” arum firmly addressed the prospective former in-laws very coldly.

Sumini's mother reflexes shook her head. “Najis I have a ghost like you!”

“Moreover me, ... join the unclean because it was once part of the unclean family!” sergeant Arum who then passed, unlocked the door and then left the narrow contract triumphantly. It was fine for five years of his life like hell even though he had never felt death. He really does not regret it because after this, he will prove, he was able to be happy and even successful with Aidan, even without Angga especially the family of the man.

The reason Angga was silent was because the man was too sure, Arum was just bullying him so that he would not remarry. Even if until he really dropped the talak, Angga sure Arum will ask back first of all Aidan is already in their relationship.

Sumini's mother who had glanced at Angga and hoped that the son would take a stance, gave Arum a lesson for his attitude which was very presumptuous, reckless following Arum then grabbed Arum's back hair that was still half wet, scattered and messy because it has not been combed.

Aware if fighting, her thin body will only be slammed and could be the mother of Sumini also playing victim, Arum deliberately issued a mainstay style. He shouted, asked for help and made neighbors who already understood the drama of the household, flocked out of the house. Sumini's mother was instantly flustered apart from the woman who had difficulty removing her right hand from Arum's head.
