Last Mate

19. Status

The worry now hugged Arumi's heart. There is also fear present. Initially wanted to give a good impression on the mother-in-law, but not unexpectedly the opposite.

Arumi himself seemed still unaware of the thing he had just experienced, his shock made his heart not stop pulsing. His blood flow also seemed to flow profusely in his blood feathers.

There was not much he could do, only curled up in bed. His body trembled because of his sobs. Although he tried to resist so as not to drop it, but the clear liquid just escaped from his beautiful eyes.

Akhtar had just entered his room, slowly approaching the tiny body of his wife curled up on the bed. He knew that his wife was very scared and that he was also shocked by the incident. Akhtar climbed on his bed without a sound and hugged the body of Arumi who was behind him.

Several times a tranquilizer landed on the head of Arumi. "Mama, is that okay, Mas?" asked Arumi with her raucous voice.

Not worrying about yourself, Arumi is still worried about others. "Emmm. Its alright. My mother calmed down and now she was asleep. I'm sorry, yes. Because Mas can't protect you."

Akhtar certainly felt very guilty. How not? When Tania enters their room, Tania witnesses the two making out a friendly flirt. As a result, he was furious and immediately approached them. Without saying much he pulled Arumi's hair down. Not yet there, Tania also lightly slapped Arumi in the face several times and licked her violently. Akhtar certainly did not stay silent. He also tried to separate his mother, but still overwhelmed. Until Mbok Darmi came and brought drugs then his mother could calm down.

Arumi turned her body to face Akhtar and hugged her tightly. "Mas isn't wrong, so don't apologize. It's because I'm wrong."

"I didn't know my mom reacted like that. I should have made a good impression on my mom, but it was the opposite. I'm sorry, Mas."

"Sstt. My mom is not fully healed yet. It's not your fault either. But this is the first time Mas see the reaction of the mother is excessive, when previously not like this. Don't think about it"

"Mas, if we've been trying to make my mom like me but in the end you still don't like me how?" with her eyes open, Arumi looked up and looked at her husband

"If you've tried and you don't like it, then why. I will always love you, love you and love you."

"Follow"

"There is no other reason, you will still be my wife. Remember we promised, we'll face it all together. So don't think no more."

Arumi nodded in her husband's arms. "Emm."

"Is it still hurting your cheeks?"

Although his wife never complained of pain, though Akhtar's heart still worried. He promised to try again to protect her.

"This pain is not comparable to what my mother used to feel. But I think I should use an anti-hair loss shampoo, Mas. Let if mama jambak again, my hair does not run out because of all the fog. Hehe."

Akhtar pinched Arumi's nose. It could be that when they talk seriously, he is joking. But, Akhtar was grateful his wife did not think it was protracted.

It was a habit for Arumi, to wake up in the morning early. Then to kedapur. When he arrived at the kitchen, it turned out there was already ART that Arumi knew commonly called Mbak Erna.

"Morning, Miss Erna."

Mbak Erna looked over. "Eh, morning Non. I woke up early."

"Yes, I want to help Ms. Erna in the kitchen."

"Eh, oh no Non. In the kitchen it's engap, it's better not come here. Let me just be in the kitchen."

"It's okay, Ma'am. I also used to struggle in the kitchen, so Ms. Erna was calm. Oh yeah, let me prepare some food for breakfast."

Before starting her kitchen activities, Arumi tied her long hair first so as not to disturb. Then he put on his apron and was ready to cook.

"Ouch, Non. No, let me just. Later if Den Akhtar knows he can be angry."

Ms. Erna felt uncomfortable if her employer's wife had to take her place to prepare breakfast. He was also surprised for a moment when he knew Arumi would really cook in the stuffy kitchen. Just this time he found out, even the slightest employer was not uncomfortable in the kitchen.

"Mas Akhtar was never angry. Now let me cook, Sister Erna can help pick the vegetables."

Arumi takes over Erna's job to prepare breakfast. He does everything so deftly and agilely. All he did was work on his own, while Madam Erna just helped him pick vegetables and clean the kitchen. Not to forget, Arumi also made grits for her mother-in-law. He hopes that the small treatment can touch the heart of the mother-in-law to accept him as a daughter-in-law.

As expected, Akhtar still did not wake up. "Mas, wake up." Arumi patted her husband's cheek gently.

"Yes." Akhtar nodded at his wife's touch.

"Let's get up, take a shower. That's our breakfast."

Akhtar had no intention of making a move. Arumi became anxious, until Akhtar's nose was pulled to make him wake up.

"Eng.. You deliberately want to kill your husband." murmured Akhtar who was still half conscious.

Arumi chuckles. "Well, if you don't wake up, I'm pulling your nose until you can't breathe."

"Don't, honey. Emm.. Morning kiss I just woke up." whine Akhtar

Arumi also gave a kiss from the forehead, eyes, nose to the last lip of Akhtar. Arumi only realized the other side of her husband that turned out to be a little spoiled. After getting what he wanted, then Akhtar really woke up from his sleep and went to shower immediately without saying anything.

After the shower, they went down for breakfast. It turns out that there was Tania at the dinner table. Seeing him, Arumi strengthened his courage and his heart. Whatever happens, you have to protect your hair. Thought Arumi.

"Morning, Ma." said Akhtar immediately kissed Tania.

Tania smiled. "Morning, baby let's have breakfast."

"Yes, Ma." Akhtar pulls out a chair for Arumi, but suddenly Tania stands up from her seat and...

"Who told you to sit here together. Heh. The bitch doesn't know herself." maki Tania while pulling Arumi's hair.

"Awh."

Arumi whimpered as her hair was pulled away. It turns out the prediction was right, but unfortunately Arumi was not ready when her hair was pulled. He fell again.

Akhtar was surprised by what happened. "Ma, it's Ma. Take off Arumi's hair."

Akhtar tried to break up, releasing Tania's hand grip on his wife's hair, but it was very difficult. "You don't buy him anymore. He wants to take you from your mother. He's a bitch doesn't know himself. He deserves this." Tania shouted in anger.

Again the pain again crept back Arumi's head. "Arumi is not like that, Ma. Mbok Darmi, Mbok." yelled Akhtar calling for help.

From the kitchen Mbok Darmi looks crowded approaching them. Soon he also tried to separate the son-in-law and the in-law. Mbok Darmi tried to let go of Tania's hand which was so strong gripped Arumi's hair. Akhtar keeps Tania from hitting Arumi again.

"Mbok Darmi don't interfere, Mbok. He wants to take Akhtar from me Mbok. Hiks.hikss..hixs.."

Mbok Darmi does not care about his employer's words. With great difficulty, Mbok Darmi finally managed to take off Tania's hand which was in Arumi's hair.

Akhtar hugged Tania, trying to calm her down. "Ma, calm down Ma. Akhtar will not be taken by anyone. Arumi Akhtar's wife and mother, will still be Akhtar's mother."

"Hiks.. But he.hiks.. Wanna grab you."

"Not at all, Ma. So you don't have to worry."

Akhtar told Arumi to go back to the room. Arumi could only obey. After that Akhtar brought his mother back to his room.

"Mbok, please bring Arumi breakfast upstairs. She hasn't had breakfast yet." Akhtar ordered before entering her mother's room.

"Yes, Den."

Hufft, it's still early morning already watching the colossal drama. Iki Piye, the same in-laws even noisily. Inner Mbok Darmi.
