The Retaliation of a Wife Considered a Household Parasite
41: The Widow and All her Slanders
“Who do you think you are, how dare you reject me, Rum?” maki Pak Haji with a loud voice.
All eyes were instantly dumbfounded without exception to the Arum in question. Also, in addition to the effect of the word makian, Pak Haji also spoke very loudly.
“You are only a widow. Widows without work from morning meet again can not eat!”
“You should be thankful that I want to marry you! I will raise your degrees so that you are not constantly looked at one eye!”
Mr. Haji who had previously stood up, could not immediately curse let alone with words again. Kalandra who had just risen then poured his hot black coffee, the cause. Kalandra was already furious, inexhaustible to the Hajj sir who did not know the rules. The man was extremely vile, without caring about his status as it seemed, the man had indeed made his status as a shield for shelter.
“When, I ask let alone beg to you, for you to marry?” sergeant Arum painstakingly endured the emotions. His chest rumbled withstanding emotions. “I've never asked much less begging for you to marry. Those here are witnesses. Including hospital staff. Everything is memorized to you. In fact, your way of doing this has made you embarrass yourself!”
“The presumption that you married a widow to lift their degree is really just a guise. You take refuge behind your status, relying on your standing and also the good name of religion as a shield from your dilapidated behavior!”
“If for you a widow like me has to work from morning to morning just to be able to eat, then, You as an old bangkka do not know yourself so do not know yourself chasing the widow from morning to meet again. What kind of grandparents, who deliberately pursue the widow without knowing the time, from morning to morning again, and do not hesitate to wait in front of the widow's contract, until the busy neighbor negur?”
“Indeed, what kind of old man, who has been warned repeatedly by many people, even rampaged when again got rejected?”
Arum is really angry. He spoke at length. “If you stay here, you don't know yourself! At least if you do not care about yourself, care for your family who will also be ashamed to bear Your behavior!”
Some of the men who were eating at first, looked at each other. Those who numbered four people, compactly stood up leaving their seats and then approached the Hajj sir. They offer control to Hajj sir. Do you want good control, or even compulsion?
“You guys again, what the fuck?!” makii Pak Haji to the four men who offered him control so that he would no longer act there.
“Eh, been warned well, still ngeyel!” the lips of one of the men who will bring the Haji sir out of there.
“Mbah, ... until any time, I will not forget to you!” sternly Kalandra stared at the angry old man whose face looked very red and she made sure it was because of the hot coffee she had splashed there.
Mr. Haji immediately looked at Kalandra, even all who subdued her, especially Arum, with a look no less angry. “Review yeah, you guys! Watch out for you (Kalandra), watch out for you, Rum! Your faces will block me. You cannot pass in front of my house!”
Two men were forced to block the hand of Hajj sir, herding him from there.
“Bentar ... bentar, it has paid yet, eat the same drink,” said the man who has not banned Mr. Haji.
The four men who will be herding the Hajj pack compact menjjek pak Haji.
“Ah, Mr. Haji, .. chasing the widow from morning to see you again for free breakfast!”
“Bad, you guys! If you want to know my money, look at my wallet! I have a lot of money! Look!” hastily Pak Haji took his wallet from the black material trousers he was wearing. Dashingly he opened the folding wallet, which this time there was nothing but a white paper folded there.
Sir, insyaflah. Shame, don't even get married again!
The four men who had initially mocked Mr. Haji, laughed compactly after participating in reading the writing on a piece of paper and had just thrown Haji at once trampling.
Now, there's only one Kalandra's worried about. Mental Arum's. Kalandra believes that Arum is not married. Arum still wants to focus on taking care of Aidan while continuing to work. Moreover, he understood, women like Arum had a strong determination as well as high dreams. But if the events like Hajj are repeated again, or the severity of people like them to recklessly trap Arum. He understands Arum's position because it is also what he feels even though they exist because of different stories and wounds.
“From now on, if there is anything, you must tell, so it happened not kayak earlier,” said Kalandra who did follow Arum.
Arum who had just finished bathing Aidan, wrapped the baby's body using a towel, gradually nodded without looking at Kalandra. Because honestly, treated like a while ago by Mr. Haji, also hurt him very much. Yes, Arum felt very hurt. Even when bathing Aidan earlier, he cried. However, that does not mean Arum will be weak just because of the incident earlier. Because for Arum, sacrificing everything he has built and it is far from easy, just to be sad, is tantamount to suicide.
To survive, Arum must fight alone without relying on others because Arum is aware, who can help him is only himself. Plus now, Arum's responsibility is not just himself. There is Aidan who Arum must also fight for. In other words, Arum must be stronger, more resilient, and also stronger than before.
“You may be sad, but that does not mean because of this you give up,” said Kalandra.
“Iya, Mas. I will not give up, kok,” sure Arum who then take care of Aidan before dressing the baby.
Kalandra breathed a sigh of relief even though the tightness and even pain was still left in her chest.
“To the front, just in case, you stay at my house first,” Kalandra continued.
“No, Mas. Afraid of being slandered. I'll find another way. A kind of moving contract that can not be visited by just anyone. Bismillah while looking.”
“Ya already, later I while helping to find,” reply Kalandra who became unbearable to Arum and Aidan. This is why I became more worried gini, yes, his mind. Kalandra thought hard, what can she do to help Arum, keep him from vile slander, other than a marriage?
