The Retaliation of a Wife Considered a Household Parasite
60: Dag-Dig-Dug No Rue

At night, the heavy rain made Kalandra fall asleep. In the room that Arum occupied, Kalandra slept next to Aidan. In addition to Aidan to sleep mangap because of the flu, the boy's forehead was also decorated with fever plaster. While outside, Arum who had just returned home made Kalsum's mother stunned.

Kalsum's mother stared in shock at Arum, then changed on the car that the son was still in front of the garage. “Not come home with Mas?”

Arum smiled wryly. Kalandra promised to pick me up. The reason Arum came home late was also because he was waiting for an invitation. Especially when contacted, there was not a single message or phone call that Kalandra replied to.

“It looks like this kid overslept!” said Kalsum's mother was a little upset while shaking her head inexhaustibly.

“Already, Mah, nothing. Kala mas is also tired. Oh yes, I have brought clay (clay) to boil papaya leaves. Mamah said again want papaya leaf club?”

Hearing that, Kalsum's mother immediately glared in excitement at Arum, before finally he too nodded. “It's true, Ma'am, if you use clay, so no hook?” because Arum immediately nodded, he deliberately asked, “Truly no hook, blaaas? Absolutely?!”

“Iya, Mah. Come on I'm boiled. The leaves are already there, right?” reply Arum.

“Iya, already Ma'am. Earlier, Mamah also took young cashew leaves. It's good for cowels too. So Mamah asked for sambelin terasi also yes, make her dining friend.” Kalsum's mother is getting excited. It was always so in every he chatted with Arum because in fact, they did connect. In a sense, Kalsum's mother felt a match for Arum. There is just discussed, even not infrequently there will be surprises and for the mother of Kalsum like a miracle in every togetherness they are. Sort of, things that initially felt impossible for Kalsum's mother, but all of that was broken by Arum.

“That, Mr. to bloated Mamah love a lot of warm sweet tea for nahan hungry while waiting for you to go home. Lagian disambelin, first he said salinity. Mamah added sugar, uh he said sweetness. Mamah addin chilli, until finally the coet even broke, the feeling that you are looking for really have not met!” kalsum's mother's story is finally broken.

Arum, who had no intention of laughing, also laughed. Especially when he finally saw the coet in question and was broken into three. All four are neatly stacked on the edge of the sink.

Actually, in Kalandra's parents' house there is ART that is usually helpful. There are two in fact. However, in addition to the two compact round trip and when the night is not there, there is no kind of cuisine that is as good as Arum cuisine.

Togetherness full of laughter immediately occurred when finally Pak Sana followed.

“That later his coet should get a decent final resting place because after all, he is already a hero in our kitchen, Mah!” papah Kalandra.

Hearing that, Arum who was kneading will sambal terasi burn it immediately limp because it restrained laughter. For a while, Arum had no energy to knead anymore.

“Si Bapak is not clear. Tuh Arum until not strong ngulek!” reprimanding Kalsum's real mother was also busy holding back laughter. He intends to replace Arum making sambal, but the husband forbids it.

“Let's feel weird again. If you make the sambel it is mandatory to hand one. If a lot, it also feels a lot of rame it becomes!”

“Mmm, just say you are afraid of coet at home because of Mamah!” said Kalsum's mother and her husband just laughed.

After finally sambal terasi so, Arum immediately grabbed the papaya leaves that he deliberately left and then combine them with cashew leaves or young mo-nyet guava. He poked it into the tucked sambal, then enjoyed it. The two people before him who were originally excited instantly fell silent in astonishment, but Kalsum's mother hurriedly followed him.

“This is so good, sir! You should try it too!” Kalsum's mother is excited.

“Masa, anyway?” mr. Sana is getting curious.

In order to save time, Arum deliberately left the two together. He lifted the decoction of its lime leaves. In fact, Kalandra's parents included Kalandranya, a typical connoisseur of simple food. But because of the times, the simple taste of the local area they like is hard to find.

“Same you need what else? Want some salted fish? Same fried chicken is also suitable, loh!” said Arum who immediately felt peaceful just because he saw the kindness of Kalandra's parents. The two are eating together and directly anteng just because of papaya leaves and cashew leaves, as well as papaya leaf decoction that has been paired with roasted sambal. Both said the leaves were not bitter. Both the raw and mate with the leaves of the young mo-nyet guava or around the shoots, as well as those boiled with clay water.

“Well, yes, Ma'am. That would fit. All ready for Mas Kala well, Ma'am. I haven't eaten yet!” sergeant Kalsum's mother added rice on her plate as well as the husband.

Although Arum immediately smiled back to Kalsum's mother, Arum's mind was busy thinking about Kalandra. Almost nine in the evening, Kalandra had not eaten and the man had forgotten to pick her up. Does Kalandra hurt because just hold the phone, it seems Kalandra did not do it. Evidently, all his messages and phone calls were not responded to.

Kalandra was still curled up next to Aidan. Kalandra looks so sound that Arum does not intend to disturb it especially now, he who had had had a bath, has returned the smell of terasi as well as salted fish. With caution Arum went into the bathroom let alone Aidan who was immediately fever and flu, looked still a henchman. Aidan is no less sound than the guard.

Out of the bathroom and until shampooing, Aidan finally woke up. Arum immediately approached carefully and had no intention of waking up Kalandra. Confused, that is what Arum felt because after holding Aidan while turning his back to Kalandra, he intended to give Aidan ASI. The problem is Kalandra is there. What if the man wakes up and sees Arum giving Aidan ASI in person? Arum wasn't mentally prepared to let that happen let alone they weren't married. Be he made use of Aidan's quilt which some of Kalandra's face. He pulled it slowly and very carefully. Luckily, Kalandra did not wake up. It was only after he finally closed the front of his chest including Aidan who was breastfeeding, that Kalandra woke up.

Kalandra panicked because after Aidan was suddenly not in front of her, she found Arum whose head was wrapped in a towel, while out there, it sounded noisy due to heavy rain complete with strong winds. Through working on the nightstand next door and no longer accompanied by his picture and Bilqis, Kalandra found the time almost ten at night.

“Yang, you come home raining? This from earlier I overslept, so I forgot to pick you up,” Kalandra's sergeant panicked.

Arum immediately shook his head then turned his head, staring at Kalandra. “No, .. I'm not raining. It was when I came home, it wasn't raining.” Because if Arum is honest, Kalandra will blame herself for forgetting to pick him up. But from the expression of Kalandra who was still very serious looking at him, it seemed that the man could not believe his reply yet.

“Keep, your head wrapped up? You until shampooing the bath again,” reply Kalandra.

Arum sighed softly at once. “This I did deliberately shower at once shampoo again because the smell of terasi same salted fish. Last mamah same papah asked to be made in sambal same keluban. Coel lalapan that, all fried salted fish with chicken as well. Yes already Mas eat first, Mas have not eaten, right?”

Kalandra. “Later. What is Aidan? Still hot?”

Kalandra was about to pull out the blanket that Arum deliberately closed in front of her chest. Arum hastily cradled Aidan slowly, as if the baby who immediately went back to sleep because he was nursing it, fussy. He also deliberately turned his back on Kalandra so that the man did not be sure of Aidan's condition directly. Behind her, Kalandra leaned her head against her back, in addition to the left hand of the man who was also holding her waist.

“If the heat has not gone down, the dosage of the drug is added only. Tomorrow morning the Aid is dried or steam to the hospital so that the phlegm is as snot lumer,” said Kalandra who leaned her head on the right shoulder and neck Arum.

Kalandra was peacefully closed and went back to sleep. Do not know if the action makes Arum who is still not ready mentally, the more dag-dig-dug is not careless. Arum broke out in cold sweat and held his breath several times.
