Husband, If Your Father Is On Your Mother, Your Sins Are On Me

Episode 21

I was sitting and eating fried food at the Bu Indah stall when Bu Jejen and his gang approached. As soon as I saw him, the three of them stopped their steps. I think they're gonna turn around, in fact they're staying close.

There was something I had to check, and I was determined to get the answer today as well.

"Eh there's Bu Jejen, Ms. Mumun and Ms. Romlah. New tumben seems to." I smiled towards them.

Mrs Jejen glared and poked her lips.

"You are the one who rarely goes out of the house! Obviously just squirming us-we!"

"Eh Bu Jejen, don't you want to know?" I said in a curious tone.

"What?! You play the mute guess! Just tell me what's so hard?!"

"I got a package from my mom. It's food, a lot of it."

During the conversation, I observed the behavior of Ms. Mumun and Ms. Romlah. The two of them just quietly listened while eating fried food.

"What food? You know the stories about food, mending bring all of you, times I can try!"

I chuckle.

"It's quiet, I'll bring it to Mrs Jejen. Kan Bu Jejen forever me."

"Forevers? Besti?" tanyanya.

"No, rival." I swerved and then got up to pay for the fried food I had eaten.

"Later afternoon get together here again yak, I bring the snacks," I said as I walked home.

***

"Here-here gather," I said a little loudly to provoke the attention of the mothers. Not to forget I brought some favorite snacks that I bought online and also leftover chocolate shipment from my aunt.

"It's a special snack today, please try Ms Jejen," I said to her.

Ms. Jejen accepted my gift with a smile.

"Where did you get this shipment from Re? It's good chocolate."

I smiled as sweetly as I could. The other mothers had already shrouded my seat and also started eating snacks.

The chocolate Ms Jejen ate was a shipment from my aunt who lives in Qatar. My papa's sister sent me a lot of my favorite chocolate soon after I found out I was pregnant.

"That was a delivery from my momma ma'am. Chocolate abroad that. From Qatar. Look at the Arabic script, right?"

Ms. Jejen nodded her head while continuing to eat the chocolate.

"Well, you live in Qatar, huh Neng?"

"In Qatar work?"

"You go to Qatar a lot, don't you?"

There are many curious questions from mothers who swarm. I just laughed and waited.

"I often get snacks from my mom. Later if sent again, I share it again here." said I still smile.

"Here, you liar! That guy's a shipment from Bandung!"

Checkmate! Wow, I was quite surprised to hear that word come out of the mouth of a mother I would never have thought of.

***

"Tomorrow if there is another shipment from Qatar, I am divided! Mayan can show off at WA status!" Mrs Jejen went to prepare to go home.

I waited until the stall was quiet enough. When I saw that my target was about to leave the stall, I hurried to call him.

"Mumun Mother, stay here."

With the face of the jutek Bu Mumun approached me.

"What else is Re? I want to go home! Don't be so familiar with me."

I smiled and folded my hands on my chest.

"Mumun Mom, right, the one who ruffled my package?"

The face in front of me immediately looked pale, but only for a moment because the next second he started to get angry.

"Ga's polite! You accuse me?! What evidence do you have?!"

Ms. Lovely as the shop owner almost went inside the house when I said to her.

"Temenin I'm here, Miss Beautiful."

Ms. Lovely nodded her head and sat back down.

"I can tell you that you accuse me without proof." Bu Mumun's voice sounded filled with emotion.

"There was someone who saw Mom when she happened to come out to buy martabak."

The face of the woman before me was completely red, her breathing was also dull from holding back anger.

"You want to lure me, right?! You think I'm stupid?! Where is there anyone who comes out to buy martabak dawn-body!!"

Two checkers! Waw. I swear, I didn't think.

"Huh? What are you doing outside the house at dawn?"

My question made him flinch

"Mother is also the only person who knows if the package was a shipment from Bandung, while other mothers believe it was a shipment from Qatar. "

A few moments quiet.

"Sorry.." a soft voice came from his mouth.

"What do you mean by doing that. But please, next time don't repeat."

Ma Mumun lowered her face.

"Sorry Re, I'm khilaf. Please don't tell the other mothers."

I let out a breath. Mumun was more afraid of judgment and pressure from other mothers than sin because he had done something bad to me.

"Originally this was the first and last time. If mom still bothers me, I'll tell her about her true behavior. Lady Lovely testified, didn't Mom?" I looked towards the beautiful Bu who faithfully listened to the storyline from beginning to end.

The beautiful lady nodded.

"Sorry, Re" Mumun looked at me for a moment and turned his body out of the stall.

I also say goodbye to Bu Indah and step foot towards the house.
