The Story Behind the Curtain
Pests From Outside the House

Rafan patted Erli on the shoulder as he asked a few questions.

“Why are you here? What are you noticing? Quick to the kitchen help mom!”

Erli smiled knots and stepped his legs. However, the netra girl named Sameira Erliana was still peeking at the curious woman who had just come to her in-laws residence.

“Ih, really good with him. Why did he come at the wrong time? I ‘kan curious about the woman!" grumbled Erli about her husband's attitude.

Zulaika who heard Erli's complaint only smiled and the middle-aged lung woman saw her daughter-in-law's lips that were yellowing. Slowly Zulaika approached Erli while giving the famous September plum fruit is very tasty.

Erli looked at his in-laws in wonder and he looked back at the plum fruit in his hand.

“For what is this, Bu?” Netra Erli perfectly rounded looked at her in-laws face.

“Eat only! Later the annoyance that is in your heart decreases,” said Zulaika who is now busy arranging dishes at the table.

“Hmm ...,” murmured Erli momentarily devoured plum.

The curvature on her lips created a thin, sweet smile.

“Sweet right?" ask Zulaika quietly.

Erli nodded quickly and the girl bit back at the plum she was holding.

“Why is it this sweet, Mom?” erli asked with his mouth still chewing.

“Mother also does not know, plum it's giving friends Mother in the study. He said anyone who eats it will forget his anger,” replied Zulaika while smiling.

Still engrossed in conversation, the eyes of Erli's earlobe heard the sound of the jokes of Rania, the Goddess and the woman that Erli did not know who? What is clear is that the woman was so close to her sister and Dewi—tante Rafan, they forgot that today is the first day Erli became the son-in-law of the Suprianto family.

“It looks like you are disturbed by the presence of Marlita,” said Zulaika who is still busy pouring juice.

“T-no Ma! Erli is ordinary,” concluded Erli stuttering.

“Actually, mom doesn't like the girl either. He's too flirty and flirtatious. Early in the morning like this has wandered to and fro, what kind of girl is she?” hina Zulaika with a cynical tone.

Why did Mom even complain about her dislike of that woman? gerundel Erli in his mind.

“Honey, you heard ‘kan mother's talk?" ask Zulaika lirih.

Erli looked at his mother-in-law while nodding his head. Just now the approach of the in-laws and daughter-in-law was intertwined, suddenly the iceberg came (Marlita) into the kitchen.

“Hai Aunt, how are you Aunt this morning?” Marlita interrupts Zulaika's conversation with Erli.

The two women were just stunned to see Marlita dress up menor like Sinden who will perform.

“Good. Where are you going and where are you going? Early in the morning like this has been wandering,” asked Zulaika with narrowed eyes.

“After driving papa to his project, it happens to be through here. So Lita stopped by,” said Marlita with sparkling eyes.

Zulaika glanced at the girl without responding any more. While Erli turned his gaze away, because it could not help but laugh at Marlita's red cheeks lit up like a cheek that had been slapped.

“What's your cooking?” greet Marlita to Erli.

“I'm not cooking. I only help Mom prepare the dining table,” replied Erli kalem.

“You can't cook, huh?” Marlita's question sounded like a mockery to Erli.

“If I can't cook, why? Is that a problem in your life?” Erli asked back in a stark tone.

Zulaika gave a small laugh at the menacing answer from her daughter-in-law, while Marlita was visibly annoyed by Erli's words. However, the girl did not run out of sense to take Erli down before Zulaika.

“Not really. Cuman ... Strange only, if a married girl can not cook.” Marlita pursed her lips.

Apparently this jungle bear wants to mess with me. Let's see, who's gonna win this fight? erli murmured in his heart.

“Seeing from your posture ...” Erli looked at Marlita from toe to head, “it seems that you are good at everything.”

Marlita smiled with satisfaction at Erli's words, “Of course!” marlita is full of confidence.

Erli smiled faintly as he glanced towards the corner of the kitchen, Rafan's wife continued her game.

“Then, please throw that trash out!” Erli's index finger pointed at the trash can near the door that led to the back garden.

“Hah ..!” Marlita's eyes glared after hearing Erli's orders.

Rafan's wife put her shoulders forward, smiling broadly at Marlita. Erli's behavior adds to Marlita's annoyance, even though she does not want to do what Erli ordered. However, he continued to do so in order to get Zulaika's sympathies and attention.

Ill-mannered. How dare he tell me to take this shit out, he doesn't know who I really am. I will respond to this attitude! inner Marlita grumbling.

Many times he slammed the trash can he had been on since, Marlita's anger peaked when he saw Erli pitching towards her.

“What do you want?” Marlita grunts annoyed.

“If you do not want to be disturbed, then do not disturb the peace of others. Remember you are here a guest, so behave like a guest and do not do much!” threaten Erli's.

“I am indeed a guest, but I am the master of their hearts!” marlita is full of confidence.

Erli flicked his long hair and left Marlita who was still standing in front of the house. The old girl stomped her feet and went inside, from the front door she could see everyone had sat together around the dining table.

Goddess who is aware of the existence of Marlita immediately waved her hand to call friends and coworkers Rafan who is still walking slowly like a model who is Fashion show. The narrow-eyed girl nodded and walked quickly to the Goddess who was busy pouring vegetables onto her own plate.

“Sit here, Beautiful!” The goddess pulled the empty chair next to her.

Incidentally the empty seat was on the left side of Rafan's chair, how happy Marlita could sit side by side with the man of his heart. Rushing he washed his hands and sat there without the slightest hesitation.

Erli laughed at Marlita's attitude as a kind of kindergarten who got the item she craved.

“This is your plate! I get you side dishes and vegetables,” said Marlita while reaching for Rafan's plate.

So elegant Erli stood up and forcefully took Rafan's plate in Marlita's right hand.

In a gluttonous tone Erli said, “It is inappropriate for a guest to be nice with the host's husband!” a pretty obvious allusion to Marlita.

At once Rafan looked at his wife's face, a little disbelief at the jealousy that emanated on Erli's face. Similarly to the rest of the family, they were very surprised by Erli's courage against the castor seedlings that would grow into buds in their midst.

Marlita bit her lower lip and the netra glanced at Erli, Marlita's left fist like a rock in the mountains. Amara who he had been holding since then had now reached the top.
