Enmeshed in the Love of a Married Man

5. Stupid Time

Earlier.....

Madam Ida returned home with an angry face. He kept nagging as he walked into the house.

Arya who was eating her food at the dining table looked at Bu Ida who went straight into her room.

"Mother why?" Arya spoke alone, then finished her meal.

While Ida in the middle room changed her clothes using her favorite negligee. Purple colored negligee with floral motifs. After that he then walked towards the kitchen through Arya who was still busy eating.

"Look, they talk like that. They know what they're about my family...." Said Ms. Ida growled while taking water from the refrigerator.

Ms. Ida sat down at the dinner table and started drinking the water.

"Mother why the hell, from earlier nagging yourself?" Ask Arya who just finished eating. "Why did you come home so quickly? Is the study off?"

"Mommy's lazy to take the class." Reply Ms Ida.

"Why?" Ask Arya.

"Moms at the school were gossiping. They keep talking about your brother. They say Ayu is this widow, that's what. Aahs... I'm so upset." Said Ms. Ida then stood up to return the water bottle to the refrigerator.

"Ngapain in Dengerin anyway Mom. Just close your ears." Reply Arya then stood up to put the used plate she ate into the kitchen.

"How can you not hear, you have ears. Mom's ears must stay closed."

"I mean I just ignore it."

"Your brother is wrong too. Since he knew Adi, he began to often leave the house. That's what the neighbors are talking about."

"Why did you even turn on your sister? Yes natural dong Kak Ayu out of the house to play with his girlfriend. Ayu is not a young girl who should be banned, she already knows what is right and wrong."

"Ah you even belain your sister. Instead of nasehatin, tell me to get married quickly so as not to be a neighbor's talk." Said Ms. Ida then gawked into her room.

Currently Ayu could only sigh as Bu Ida continued to nag in front of him.

"Mom, stop. Why did you hear all of them talk. I am happy with my life. You also know what I am like. So why listen to those who don't know anything about us." Ayu.

"Yes, I understand. But at least, you yourself have to keep your marwah in front of everyone. Although I know what you look like, but in front of everyone who sees you always with Adi, it's not appropriate."

"What does not deserve Mom? Am I a hug, a kiss in front of them? Don't you? I never even held Mas Adi's hand in front of everyone. Everyone always thinks what I'm doing is wrong because of my widowed status." Ayu.

Madam Ida sighed.

What Ayu said was indeed true. All this time he was always looked at one eye. Always seen as a teaser.

"Mom, just think about it. All this time I have never been close to any man, although many have tried to approach me. When a single man liked me, I was told to read first because it was considered inappropriate. Especially when many married men want me, always I'm the one who is considered wrong. I have tried to take care of myself. This is my fate to be a widow. Even though my status is a widow, at least they don't insult me like that. So I hope you don't have to worry about all their words. Because whatever we do will still be wrong in the eyes of those who do not like us." Say Ayu again at length.

"Yes, Mom, we talked about this a lot. I want to go through everything slowly with Mas Adi. I don't want to rashly decide to get married, let alone my relationship and Mas Adi not so long ago. Let us know each other further. After that let us decide to get married or not. To be sure, I need to know that I can take care of myself."

Ayu then walked towards her room. As he opened the door of his room, he turned his body.

"Oh yes Ma'am, it's a gift for Mas Adi's mother. And give the brown paper bag for Aryq. Mas Adi gave him some shoes and some clothes." Ayu said and went into her room.

Bu Ida just sighed, then opened the paper bag that Ayu said. Ms. Ida also smiled when she got the gift of a new game that looked so beautiful. Ms. Ida also got a jewelry box containing one elegant-looking gold ring.

"This gift is too fancy. Nak Adi is a good guy. Ah. I don't know."

**************

The days of Ayu began to return he passed with so many scorn from the residents because of his relationship with Adi. At first Ayu was silent, but because the scorn that people threw at him was too late to even hurt Mother Ida, Ayu finally rose up and against everyone who kept trying to step on her pride.

Come on, fool with the words of those who keep gossiping about him. He gets more intense with Adi. No matter where, the two are not awkward to look friendly even if just holding hands or Adi kissed Ayu's forehead.

"Basar dowager itch. Instead of getting married even more showing off himself who did pervert with his girlfriend. Not to mention her appearance like an ABG girl makes our husband even more smitten." Said a mother who was sitting in a shop with other mothers.

At that time Ayu was walking to the stall to buy sugar.

"Where not smitten, he would be odd always trying to tempt the men in this village including our husband." Reply to another mother.

Ayu smiled and passed by all of them who looked surprised at her presence.

They all looked cynically at Ayu who was wearing a white t-shirt that looked a little tight to form her slim body.

"Look, the clothes are just like that." Whisper those mothers.

Ayu did not comment on their remarks and asked the shop owner to give her a kilogram of sugar.

"Mom, just ask for a kilo of sugar. Don't do much. It's like losing sweetly to me." Gelak Ayu's.

"Sih basic itching." Chirps of a mother.

Ayu then turned around, and looked at them one by one.

"It would be better if your mouth was used for teaching or something else than gossiping. After all if you want your husband not to look at other women, give them the best service. Take care of yourself to look young. Make their stomachs full with good food, satisfy them in bed. If they are still looking at other women even though you have done everything, do not blame other women and you refer to them as teasers. Blame your beautiful husband every time he sees a woman more beautiful than his wife." Say Ayu at length.

All the mothers in the shop were silent. Ayu then left after getting the goods he bought.

At night in the room, Ayu sat in front of the dresser looking at her beautiful face. Ayu let out a long breath. Then he returned to his memories with the husband who had died.

"Why do I suddenly miss you." Ayu.

Seriate.....
