Last Mate

15. Bride

Early in the morning Arumi and Ririn went to the traditional market. Usually only Ririn would go to the market by leaving a sheet of notes that Arumi had written before. But different this time, Arumi also went together because he wanted to choose for himself everything he would buy.

They return home when the time is 8 o'clock. Many vegetables, fish and meat and some other kitchen needs that they buy. Arumi deliberately stoked a lot of vegetables and bought a few kilos of meat, because he wanted to entertain his mother who would come later with delicious cuisine and of course also healthy.

When he returned, Arumi found that the breakfast at the dinner table he had made before leaving earlier, had run out without rest. That means her husband has been up and breakfast, has also left for work. Arumi did go to the market very early this morning, before Akhtar woke up.

"Rin, have you prepared the room above that I asked you to clean yesterday?" arumi asked with her hands busy cutting vegetables.

"Yes, I've already. What else can I help you with in the kitchen?" Ririn knows very well this one master, if it has intervened alone in the kitchen then it must be himself who does it. So before doing anything, Ririn asked first.

"In the kitchen it's enough. You clean the house. But if you are tired of doing half of it, because the house is also too big."

"Ah, yes. I'm just cleaning up, Ma'am."

"Okay sipp."

Ririn goes to do her job, while Arumi immediately executes her cooking.

I don't know how long struggled in the kitchen, now Arumi has finished his cooking. Some of the dishes have been neatly arranged on the dining table. Today Arumi really makes a lot of cooking, even though they only live three at home.

After cleaning up his messy former activities, Arumi immediately cleaned himself up. Now just waiting for the arrival of the mother, also her husband for lunch.

Meanwhile, Ririn had also completed her task. Working with Arumi is very good according to Ririn, what else with a fairly large salary. Why that? Because Ririn can only do what she is told, if there is no order, she will relax.

Actually, Arumi who does her own homework, either cooking, washing her clothes or cleaning the house. Arumi was the one who asked for that. While Ririn was hired only to accompany Arumi at home so as not to feel lonely. Of course Ririn will not be silent as well, he will help little by little for Arumi to be lightened.

Ting.. Kegs...

Hearing the sound of the house bell ringing, Ririn swiftly opened the door. There appeared a middle-aged woman standing with a medium-sized bag in her hand. "His mother, Arumi huh?" ririn asked who had never seen Ningrum's face.

"Yes, I am Arumi's mother." Ningrum replied with a smile.

His smile is very similar to Ms. Arumi, mother and child so natural. Inner Ririn.

"Come, Mom. Please enter. Here's my bag."

Ririn intended to bring Ningrum's bag, but she refused it. "It's okay, let me take it."

Then they entered with Ririn who guided her to the living room. "Mother sit down first, Ma'am Aruminya in the room I call first."

Ningrum smiled and nodded. Ririn immediately passed and knocked on Arumi's room door.

Geck.. Geck... Tock....

"Yes for a moment." said Arumi from the inside. He came out soon. "Why Rin?" tannya

"That's it, Arumi's mother has come."

"Lho, really mom has come? I don't call him Rin."

This is also called again, Ma'am ee. Inner Ririn.

"Just come, Ma'am."

"Where is mom now?"

"There's in the living room."

Arumi immediately approached her mother. "Mother.!" peekkik Arumi's. Then he immediately hugged his mother to release the longing that had mounted.

"Mom why don't you tell me that by the terminal, I can pick you up."

"It's okay, son. Mom's already here, too."

"Yes, but pity mom dong came even I did not pick up. Mom here, my legs are incandescent." Arumi carefully lifted Ningrum's legs onto the sofa and squished it.

Gently Arumi began to massage her mother's feet. "Here, I'm not tired. Don't get stuck in the shit anymore."

"No, I must be tired. Let me have a massage, Mom. I haven't seen my mom for a long time."

"Yes already. If that is your wish. Where's your husband, by the way?"

Then Ririn came with a pot of tea for them. "Excuse me, Ms. Arumi is the tea for her mother."

"Oh yeah, keep it on the table. Ask for help too, Rin. Bring me the snack in the fridge."

"Yes, Mommy." Ririn immediately returned to the kitchen to take a snack.

"That's your ART?"

"Yes, Mas Akhtar found it. Actually, I don't want to use ART services because I can do everything myself, but Mas Akhtar maksa so yes, I don't want to do it."

"But it looks so young, yeah."

"Hehehe, yes. He is still in his 20s. But I take it easy, Ririn is nice and polite too. So no need to worry."

"Think what you are. I said it was young because of the kasian. At his young age that he should still finish his education."

"Hehehe, kirain Ma'am. Yes, but how else now the low economy is a barrier to continuing higher education. Good thing, ma'am, I can still continue college until it's over."

"Yes. Now many are grateful, because sometimes what we have others do not have. Well, if we have more sustenance we should also share with each other as well."

"Hehehe, yes Ma'am."

"Here we go have tea."

Arumi stopped her massage, then poured tea for her mother. "This is a snack" said Ririn. He immediately put some snacks and cakes on the table.

"Eh, you came like Rin's ghost. It surprised me."

"Hehe, I'm sorry you're so nervous. But I really didn't accidentally."

"Ahh, that's okay. Just relax."

"Son, Ririn here sits with us. Have tea together."

"Eh, no need ma'am. I'm just gonna go back in the back."

"Udah sit here Rin. You also want to go back to do, it's not no work."

"Hehe, yes." Ririn joined in, sitting down with her master.

They talked and joked together. At first glance they look like a family, a mother with her two daughters. Ririn felt warmth as she gathered together with her two masters. Her employer's mother is just as good as her son. They had never looked down on a little person like Ririn who was just an ART. I am so grateful to be working with them.

Before long Arumi moved from her seat, towards the kitchen. Since it was almost lunchtime, he had to prepare everything. Ririn wants to help but is forbidden with Arumi and tells her to accompany mom alone.

Shortly after that Akhtar arrived. He then shone on Ningrum. "When did your mother come?"

"Over now, son. You just got home from work?"

Akhtar dazed looking for the whereabouts of his wife. "Yes, Mom. Where is Arumi, Mom. I'm not with you."

"That's in the kitchen again. It's okay, there's already Ririn who's with mom."

"Newly come, Mas." said Arumi who had just returned from the kitchen. She shook her husband's hand and took over his briefcase as well.

"Yes. Why did you leave mom."

"No. There were stories from the same mother and Ririn, I was kitchenware for dinnerware."

"Oh. Don't be too tired, you know."

"Yes, yeah. Yes, let's have lunch. Let's eat first."

Ningrum was happy to see the interaction of his son and daughter-in-law who was no longer as awkward as the first time. Akhtar also looked so fond of Arumi, it made Ningrum feel relieved.

They finally ate together. A variety of dishes have been available on the table and look so tempting. Of course, because Arumi cooked it.
