I'm (Not) a Cheap Woman

Division Delegation

“Where are you going?” daniel asked as Arka stood up.

“Ke kitchen.”

“Woo, spoiled base. Wife to the kitchen, you go to the kitchen. Like a duck child, likes to tail.”

“Say you are envious. So get married again, so you can tail like a duck.” Arka stay in the kitchen.

In the kitchen.

“There can I help?” ask Arka to the wife. It has become more attentive. Hopefully, that way Nisa will forgive him.

A few minutes' delay.

“Bring this out. If anyone asks me, say I want to cook first. When it's done, I'll be out quick.”

Arka then lifted the baking sheet that contained several cups of tea into the living room. “Pour it yourself,” he said then return to the kitchen.

“They what else? It looks very busy,” said ma'am Haifa.

“Again for children Ma,” chirped Daniel.

Mr. Pradipta threw a pillow at Daniel.

“Your brain,” he said with very sharp eyes.

While in the kitchen.

Arka helps Nisa chop the carrots. Just this time he felt that cooking was fun.

More precisely, whatever he did with Nisa would definitely be fun for him.

“Come carrot cut competition,” challenge Arka.

“What's the gift?” ask Nisa quickly.

“If I win, you must obey one of my commands. Whatever commandment I give you must follow. If you win, I will obey your one request. Whatever it is.”

“Good,” replied Nisa.

The bet burned their spirits.

Arka began to give aba-aba. “One, two, three, startii.”

The sound of blades colliding with the cutting board the longer the sound. Daniel, Haifa, and Pradipta were curious. They all went into the kitchen.

“What more are you?” haifa asked Nisa and Arka who were busy chopping carrots.

Unfortunately, the son-in-law and his son did not budge. Both are too busy racing to cut the carrot to the end.

Nisa raised her hand up. “I won,” he said when five carrots were gone he cut into pieces.

While Arka, there is still one whole carrot on the side. “I lost. What's your order?” tanyanya while throwing one more carrot at Nisa.

Already lost. All Nisa spent chopping up the red radish that she will process into the snack.

“Later I will tell you,” reply Nisa who was able to beat Arka in the impromptu race.

“You guys what is it?” Ma'am Haifa repeated her unanswered question earlier.

“We learned to cut carrots ala-ala famous chef Ma,” replied Arka.

“Come out! The tea hunt is cold later,” call Mr. Pradipta.

“Thank you, Sir. Later we come out,” Nisa said.

Daniel and his parents returned to the family room. Leaving the couple with raw carrot pieces on the table ats.

“What's your request?” ask Arka again after his family no longer seen in the eye pelupuk.

“I want to stay in a new house for a month.”

“Can't! You cheated so much, making such a difficult request. Cunning once you take a chance in a narrow.”

“Can't be so dong Sister. My brother gave me the rules. If I win, Brother will obey whatever it is. Must dare to risk dong. Starting tomorrow, I stay at home for up to a month.”

Arka was upset, to the point of slamming the cutting board. He who does not want to with Nisa's request, auto out. Join the others in the family room.

Carrots that have been cut into pieces steamed Nisa. While waiting for the carrot steamer to mature, he went to read a novel called Revenge in Marriage.

After reading a few chapters, he re-examined the red radish decoction. It turned out to be ripe, he raised it and set it aside.

Nisa is getting busy preparing:

Dry dough; wheat flour, cornstarch, and powdered mushroom broth

Wet dough; wheat flour, cornstarch, powder mushroom broth, oregano, ground pepper, salt and water

Each Nisa dough mix, until evenly distributed very well.

Next, he put the carrot that has been steamed earlier into the dry dough and then into the wet dough. He put it again into the dry dough while patted. So that carrots do not stick constantly, such as Dara and Arka.

Then, Nisa heats the cooking oil. Carrots he rose to hot cooking oil, until the color is brownish yellow.

So crispy carrots.

The shape? Seductively.

It tastes? Make a bill, like Arka to Nisa.

Carrot chips that Nisa brought to the family room. “Mari eat!” he said then bit one carrot cracker that was rather long.

“The rain is getting heavier. You guys just stay here. It has also been a long time Arka room is not inhabited,” pinta bu Haifa.

“Iya, Ma.” Nisa agreed to stay there, just that night. Tomorrow, he lives in the new house given Arka.

Ms. Haifa turned off the TV. That night, he dedicated to quality time by chatting with each other. And right at ten o'clock in the night, they all broke up.

Go to each other's rooms

Arka takes Nisa into her room. Those who are tired, it is so easy to close their eyes.

In a third of the night, Arka fumbled. Probably looking for the whereabouts of his life companion. He opened his eyes slowly, but Nisa was not there. He who is curious where it went, looking around in the house.

His search was stopped at the Mushallah house.

His beautiful wife was praying. I don't know what his prayer, which Arka knows, his wife sobbed when asking. His heart was full when he looked at that moment.

Arka reached out to Nisa who had just finished praying.

“Eh.. What's Arka doing here?”

“Find you,” the answer is blunt. “Come to room again!” he continued, extending a hand.

The desire to resist, stronger than Nisa's desire to accept. So Nisa brushed it off slowly.

“I'm so sleepy Brother,” subtly reject it.

Nisa walked into the room quickly. He got into bed and tried to close his eyes again. But he was already insomnia.

Arka went up to the bed and straight away

hugging Nisa. And Nisa rejected Arka's hand. “Please hands Brother conditioned!”

“Lusa we expand to West Sulawesi.”

“No. Why should I come? I'm not the head of the division,” reply Nisa half yelled.

“Don't be too noisy! We will be suspected again of making children. We just talk normally.”

Nisa is slowing down the sound. “Makanya, Thira only participated in the expansion. Usually also he and the seniors who go.”

“You forgot to revise the rules for your division with Farel?”

“Just return to the old rules!”

“Can't Nisa. New rules that have been mutually agreed, can not be restored as before.”

“But the rules follow to schedule.”

“Inchant so. The expansion this time is Ratna, you, and Chelsea. Don't try to refuse again! It's a company rule, not my rule.”
