Mr. Secretary: Destiny Bound
CHAPTER 35 - SRIMULAT FAMILY
Mommy pats Arini's arm.
“Can't be so. If Arini meets a good man and is very fond of children, why not?”
Arini closed her eyes.
“I am a widow with two children. Our society has always held negative views about widows. Widow is stereotyped as an actor, flirtatious woman, cheap woman, and other bad stigma,” Arini opens her eyes with wet eyelashes, “I experienced it myself. As good as anything carries itself, if the marital status is labeled a widow, then the stereotype will always be pinned to her.”
“Not all widows are not good behavior because not all widows are good behavior. Widow whose behavior is not good makes the widow well exposed to her sap,” Adisti stroked Arini's arm, “Don't be discouraged ya Tea. Disti sure, there is someone out there waiting for Teteh to perfect half his religion.”
Mami. His body is moving restlessly. Now Mami stared at the sunflower arrangement that Mommy had brought.
Mommy took the initiative to deflect the topic of conversation.
“Aksi Bu Dhani was amazing. I got the CCTV footage from Bram,” Mommy said as she took her gawai.
Adisti.
“Iya.. Aunt Dhani is so cool! Wonder Woman in Justice League.”
“There's CCTV footage? How can Indra not say yes?” Mami frowned curiously at Mommy's device.
“Lah, kirain already see.” Mother of astonishment, “I have also seen earlier on her phone Disti..”
“Bang Indra forgot times, Tan.”
Mommy pressed the play button. The screen displays the incident at noon.
Mami's eyes widen when she sees a picture of herself lifting the urn towards the villain.
“Oh My God! From the shooting angle, why do I look slim huh?”
All who did not expect with Mami's comments suddenly laughed. Even Arini also laughed even though he ended up with a squeak on the forehead and hissing pain while holding his cheek and ribs.
Everyone looked at Arini anxiously.
“Ndra..!” Mami called Indra.
Indra, who was on L's sofa with Bramasta and the children, rushed to Mami in Arini's room.
“What's up, Mi?”
“Arini.”
“Why?” Indra immediately approached Arini. Mommy hurriedly stepped aside by standing up from the chair she was sitting on.
His tall body lowered down near Arini who was still frowning. He put his face on Arini's face. Clapping his unscathed hand.
“Teh.. Tea Arin why?”
Arini did not answer. His expression was still the same frowning with sweat flowing from his temples.
“Sick?” Indra patted his arm softly, “Which one? I call the nurse huh?”
Arini shook her unscathed hand.
“That's until the warning is so pain-bearing.. Tea, don't always say no or no.”
“So the doctor said, the ribs are dripping, the left right is badly bruised. In case that the injury does not get worse, you should use a brace first for 2 weeks.”
“Ah.” Arini sounded disappointed.
“The injury is getting worse, how is it, Ndra?” ask Mommy.
“Doctor's word, can crack his ribs, Aunt Al. The longer the healing process,” Indra glanced at Arini who was staring at him.
“That is patient yes, let it heal quickly.” Mami stroked Arini's leg again.
“This is actually you guys say the hell until Tea Arin so like this?” Indra looked at everything.
“Diiih. We're not doing Arini Tea, Bang. So protective.” Adisti throbbed towards Indra, forgetting the existence of Mami who looked at Indra with a sharp gaze.
“Nudus, Dis.. Tea Arin was fine..”.
“Ehm.” Mother cleared her throat, “Actually, Nak Indra. We were laughing together. Responding to the words of Mami whose comments are very funny.”
“My God!” next to Indra's hand on her waist, next to her again rubbing her face while shaking her head, “So this is all because of laughing?”
Mami showed her grin to Indra. His right finger forms the letter V.
“Arini can't laugh first?”
“Mi. if you laugh, the stitches in his cheeks can be torn again. Besides laughing while still wearing rib support will not be comfortable,” Indra looked at Adisti, “Disti never felt right when treated for a fall from a cliff?”
Adisti.
“But it used to be Disti do not use a buffer, only use a heavy cloth.”
“If Great when shot at The Ritz?”
“Same. Brother used a heavy cloth to bruise his ribs due to slamming into the asphalt from his motor.”
“Teh Arin wear double loh. Heavy cloth yes, rib support too,” Indra looked at Arini who was covered in sweat on her temple by Mommy.
“Teh Arin, ma’af yes.. Teteh stuck with us, srimulat family. This is just his mothers, not to mention if he has joined his fathers, more excited if with his children all together. Family Srimulat Group complete package!” Indra spoke quickly while scratching her head which was not actually itchy.
Arini looked at Indra in disbelief, digested Indra's speech then grimaced again holding her cheeks and ribs.
“Haahhhhhh!”
Mommy, Mother and Adisti half-dead held their laughter in front of Arini.
“Ndraaaa!” Mami landed a hard pat on Indra's upper arm, “You again ya nambukin.”
“Mi.. pain Mi..” Indra holding his arm, “Malu Mi.concerned Teh Arin.”
“Bodo. You are salting anyway.!”
“Ya Allah.. already ah.. Not strong.” Mother pulled the curtain, came out of the Arini curtain room with Mommy and giggled together near the pantry bar.
