I'm Not a Wild Grass

Chicken Soup Supplies (POV Laila)

Sunday has arrived..

In the morning around half-time, Nunik came to pick me up.

"Where are you going, Neng?" Ask Mama to Nunik.

"You take Laila for a walk, Buk De. Can you?"

"Can. But will Laila not bother Neng Nunik. The three of them are the same as Nak Aryo?"

"It's okay, Buk De. Nun did not play with Lail for long. Want to ride a motorbike is not possible with the content of this already large Nunik. So we ride the car deh usher the same Mas Aryo," said Nunik reasoned.

My mother did not know the reason for our departure today. Mama thought that I would just take a normal walk with Nunik. In fact, I was forced to meet Nunik, Mas Aryo and Erlan in Mozartino today.

"Lail said yes, Ma.."

"Yes. Be careful, La.. Neng, put the Laila away."

"Dwelling.. Mamma. Kayak Laila is still a child of Kindergarten who was entrusted to a neighbor. Laila is great, Ma!" I'm putting out a protest.

Mama brushed my nose slowly.

"But you're not married yet, honey. Because Mama titipin with Neng Nunik. Try if you already have your own husband, Mama will be calmer, La.."

'Duh. Started her language lead to marriage.' I murmured without a sound.

"Isnishk.. Mamma. What is different try not married the same. Just different have brother ojek same doang kok, not much different!" My original speech.

"Hush! Talk about it, son. Time yes nyamain husband same brother ojek! Be careful of your quality, La!" Mama reprimanding.

"Lha is her?"

"True Buk De, il. The husband is our priest. The pleasure of Allah lies. If he is free, then Allah is also pleased. If the husband is ridha then for you heaven. Because when we get married, the main service for a woman yes to her husband," added Nunik from behind me.

"If it's like that, getting married makes us restrained dong, Nun. Because heaven is not ours, it depends on the husband!" I'm trying to speculate.

"That's not it, Nun. Precisely by having a husband, we are awake from the slander and danger of the world."

"What kind of superhero husband, the savior of all danger?" I tried to joke.

"Iishk. Dengerin to finish dong, il. Don't play cutting it off!" Omel Nunik while shaking his waist.

And I immediately remembered the twins my niece-to-be in Nunik's stomach. I realized that I had to be careful in my attitude towards pregnant women. Especially the pregnant woman in front of me who is still experiencing a strange moody.

"Mm. yes. Ja. Sorry, pretty mummy. I'm correcting my words, yes" I'm trying to correct my words. But Nunik stopped me from continuing to talk.

"No! Dengerin Nun first! The husband is not only a priest and determinant of God's pleasure for us in this world, il. But the husband also has an obligation to fulfill our birth and inner living."

"If we are happy with the treatment of the husband, then the path of his sustenance will be smooth. And Lail must have liked this fact the most. If in the property of the husband there is the right of the wife. While in the wife's estate, there is no husband's right."

"meaning?" I tried to ascertain my guess.

"Well that's him! In the property of her husband, there is a part that belongs to the wife that becomes her living. While if a wife has her own property, then it is her own treasure," said Nunik explained.

"Unless his wife dies" said Aryo who suddenly appears behind Nunik.

At once our attention was on the tall young man, her husband Nunik.

Aryo is a young man with an ordinary face and a tall body. He was Nunik's co-worker in the research section for some reason. I forget. What is clear, I still often want to smile when I see the petite Nunik opposite the tall Aryo.

Like a sister who was babysitting her sister they were both. Hihahi.

Aryo was now standing beside Nunik.

"Kok even talks here anyway, Dek? So leaving?" Ask Aryo then.

Nunik smiled brightly. I even felt a little jealous because she gave her husband that bright smile.

"Come, Mas. Waiting for it too late? Excuse me. This is Lail pingin lectured before leaving," Nunik argued to her husband.

I was surprised and astonished. Didn't expect that my innocent and kind Nunik was now so heartless to make me a scapegoat.

But I didn't say anything. Because I caught Aryo's brief glance at me. I hurried down.

I don't know why I always feel so disinclined by Nunik's husband. He reminds me of my killer teacher back in high school. Hii. horrified..

"Tante, we're leaving first. Assalamu'alaikum!" Sapa Nunik to Mama.

I also took part and followed the steps of Nunik and Aryo who had walked first in front of me. Towards their avanza car.

Arriving in Mozartino...

The atmosphere in Mozartino is very crowded. Thankfully we managed to get a bench on the round table with four chairs around it.

Nunik sat next to Aryo. And I sat beside Nunik. That leaves an empty seat between me and Aryo.

"Dedek eat steak can ya, Mas?" Nunik asked her husband, Aryo.

"Hm. Patience, Deck. Don't eat steak first. It's not good to make 1 and 2 dedenins," Aryo gently persuaded.

"Hm.ya already. Keep on eating what dong?"

"A chicken soup, huh?"

"Here's where there's chicken soup!" I'm blabbing.

Aryo smiled faintly at me, before finally putting the box package that had previously been fortified.

I watched as Aryo took out a tentengan that turned out to be three stacked boxes of rice, fruit and chicken soup. At that moment I was immediately amazed.

"Wahh! Thank God, thank you, Mas..must be Mas pasapin from home yes? This is my chicken soup!" Nunik exclaims.

Added to my amazement when I found Nunik who was even happy with the action of his husband. I spontaneously reprimanded the two.

"Hey! Here where can I bring the supplies!" Reprimand me in a soft voice.

I deliberately slightly advanced my body towards Nunik, so that the visitors behind me did not hear my reprimand earlier.

"Where are the rules can not bring supplies here, il? Lail over thinking!" Reply Nunik rebuked me.

As a result I can only watch in silence as Nunik enjoys his chicken soup. I ordered a steak for myself.

Aryo did not order steak for the reason that he did not want to make Nunik feel jealous. So he just ordered a potato stick.

When I heard Aryo's reasoning, I almost wanted to change my order as well as the man. But then I realized.

'Where can I let the three of us just order two potato sticks while Nunik hitchhiked his chicken soup from home? Can-can be glared at by the waiter of this cafe, we later!' thought I was without a sound.
