Don't Insult Me

Any timing?

"Why, Honey? How do you feel confused?" reza asked as he approached his wife who was daydreaming on their little couch. The man just finished his shower.

"Eh, Mas, no, ah. I'm just tired of, just bringing a cake to our neighbor," he told a lie.where maybe he said that he had just met the man he had rejected.

"Oh, so how's the new neighbor?"

"Udah, Mom. The one next to her name is Miss Anna. And in front of her is Helena's mother."

"Oh, why don't you wait for me."

"I don't think you're coming, because I asked you to be quiet."

"I'm not scared, honey. Again in the bathroom."

Salsa just nodded. However, the look on his face looked different as if he was confused.

"What's wrong with you, Sa? It hurt?" ask Reza astonished. He even checked Salsa's body temperature to make sure that his wife was not ill.

"Mas, you still remember not with my close friend whose name is Siti. He used to be your ojek before marriage" Salsa said with a doubtful look.

"Oh, who said he married the manager huh? Yeah, I know, why?"

"I just met her at Miss Anna's house."

"Oh yeah? She's Miss Anna's daughter-in-law?"

"No, Mum."

"So? His brother?"

"Not really, Mom. She works at Miss Anna's house."

"Huh? Work? What job? He's at Miss Anna's house doing this, right?"

"No, Mas, she works at Miss Anna's house as a domestic assistant."

"Huh? Household assistant? Any timing? But was her husband the manager, when she was a housekeeper?" Just like Salsa, Reza also did not believe the news. Logically, if Siti's husband was a manager, why would she bother working as a housekeeper?

"Yes, don't think too much. Siti may have had a reason why she became a domestic assistant. Now we better rest. Tomorrow I want to work, there is a motorcycle base. Fortunately in this area only one carpenter, so, when Mas asked permission to hang out there, he could do with the terms and conditions."

"Huh? A condition? What conditions, Mas?"

"We have to share passengers. Can't be greedy, let alone cheating."

"It turns out that in the world of ojek too, yes. Use terms and conditions." Salsa laughed amusedly.

"Yes, dong. Now mending us to the room." Suddenly, Reza pulls Salsa's hand into the room. Instead of rest, he asked the wife for rations. Understandably, they are still newlyweds who are drunk on love.

"Who's the cake from?" ask Gilang when looking at a box of cakes located on the dining table.

"It was a gift from a new neighbor, Mas," said Helena as she opened the box.

"Which one? The one in front of this house?"

"Yes, Mum."

"Oh, you eat. I don't like food, it's not clear how it came from."

"I don't want to either, Mom. We give it to Bi Iyem, yes."

"Hmm."

Helena went to the back and gave the box to their housekeeper.

She returned to the table and accompanied her husband to dinner. It looks like Gilang is eating while focusing on his phone without caring about Helena.

The woman just took a long breath. For some reason, after marrying the man he had been adoring all this time, he seemed to be struggling on his own.

Yes, even though their marriage was sudden because suddenly Gilang came and invited him to marry. In fact, Gilang has repeatedly refused his love. However, the man came by himself and invited him to build a household together.

However, he felt like a runaway. Married, but not loved. Is this really his thinking?
