Lovely Love

Will Not Stop Being Jealous

The first day of unemployment seemed strange to Gerdy. He woke up early not knowing what it was for. Opening the store already has Mr. Marto. Cleaning the house has been done by Mimin and Prilly since dawn. Prilly filled in the tense days waiting for the results of the state college entrance examination with various busyness.

Eventually Gerdy stayed in the nursery, sometimes bothering his wife if she breastfed. Nadine herself felt strange early in the morning to see her husband wandering in front of her eyes.

"I'm so dead of style" said Gerdy as he sat on the bed. "I don't know what to do."

Nadine smiled seductively. "Love."

"Yesterday was five, and it's still morning."

"Why is it still morning? I'm going to work next week. You have prepared a file to apply for a job, but vacancies that suit your field do not yet exist. Then you want to sit dumb at home? I'm being rude again, why don't you get your wife?"

"You're willing to make love every day?"

"I don't even want to stop making love to you."

"Then what do we eat then?"

"The cheque from Vishnu has not been disbursed and if you may know what money to use for?"

"I don't know yet."

"Well, the money can be used for food, while we make love every day."

"I have plans to buy pick up for store transportation. Mr. Marto was once a driver. That pick up can be handed to her."

"How much is the pick up? Not yet severance money from the boss of the body goal. Well, all we spend on eating so we can make love every time."

"Well young?"

"I'm gonna fuck old."

"Our money is not enough for needs until old age. So it's used for effort."

"What usaha?"

"Not thought."

"Sell food online only," Prilly said as she walked in carrying baby clothes that had been neatly ironed. "Mimin is good at making food."

"A habit," said Nadine. "Come in without knocking on the door."

"The door is unlocked and not tightly closed. So whose fault is it?"

"Customize knocking on the door. If I'm making out with brother-in-law, how about it?"

"I know if you guys make love again, the door will be locked. Well, from yesterday's new open room!"

"If I forget to lock, how?"

"I'm already a student candidate, so where's the problem? Just close the door again, clear it up."

Gerdy defended Prilly, "Why are you? Small problems are business. In fact we're not making love and I'm joining in."

Rara looked on dislike. "What is the privacy issue about small? So then you can go in and out at will to my sister's room without knocking on the door?"

"So, go everywhere."

"I'm just interpreting your words."

"Sister's jealous that Gerdy's sister went back and forth to my room?" ask Prilly.

"You think you deserve?"

"Jealous not to know deserved or not."

"I mean is it appropriate for my husband to go in and out of your room?"

"Depends on what it needs."

"For any purpose, there must be privacy. Do you realize that you are very attractive? It can make goats into wolves. So you have to be careful, not just at home."

"Yes, yes."

Prilly keeps the baby clothes in a small closet and leaves. His brother is strict in maintaining privacy. Maybe he doesn't want to happen twice, Katrin enough. Their families are no longer dignified. But isn't she suspicious of her husband? Good thing Gerdy was patient.

"You mustn't be so strict with Prilly" said Gerdy. "For a long time he felt constrained and became a rebel."

"It's not in this house if you want to live without rules. I have to be strict with my sister. Don't let it happen to me again."

"You're sorry about what happened to us?"

"Don't worry too much because Prilly's personality isn't developing. I hope all these worries aren't because of your jealousy."

"I will stop at nothing to be jealous because with it my love endures."

"Not to every woman."

"I'm not jealous of every woman. I'm jealous of the woman who's my husband's past taste."

"Your sister too?"

"He hasn't taken off his white-gray shirt, has he?"

The days that are passed are colored with jealousy. Gerdy doesn't know what love is like. He enjoys that jealousy in Nadine's matchless affection. He thought jealousy was necessary in a household to measure their love levels.

But Nadine's jealousy is sometimes blurred. She suspects the husband's attention to her sister. The past is reason to be vigilant. Gerdy likes white gray girls for a free life, not a tied life in a household.

Everything Gerdy gave to his sister-in-law had to go through his wife. Prilly himself is sometimes hot. The Katrin scandal seems to be a frightening specter for Nadine.

Well, the first day of unemployment is really uncomfortable. The narrow house makes Gerdy and Prilly meet in every place. He locked himself in the room with the baby.

Gerdy must get a job. He has read several job openings in the internet and print media, no matter the different disciplines, the important thing is there are activities and making money.

"No need to rush to find work" Mami said while busy calculating the store's income today. "Choose a job that suits you to be comfortable living it. You are not being pursued by necessity."

"Rubber, sir," said Mr. Marto. "This store is actually enough for the life of the family."

This house has become the right of Gerdy because the owner is willing to sell. The entire room was dismantled and filled with a shelf. Mr. Marto and his family live in an empty lot behind the shop.

"Especially if Mami is willing to be hosted by Mr. Hamdani, wow, even bigger store," joked Bu Marto.

"I have no interest in opening a joint venture" Gerdy said. "I'll look for another business opportunity."

"Co-operation with Mami as his wife is okay, sir."

"You're this if you say unguarded, '" said Mami."I'm not young anymore. So maybe Hamdani just gave me false hope."

"She really wants to take Mami as a wife" said Ms Marto. "He needs a mother for his children."

"Take a baby sitter if it's just to take care of the kids."

"Sir Hamdani already has a baby sitter. Stay mommy still has not had."

"You're a matchmaker?"

"What else are you looking for? He's young, handsome, rich, complete already."

"How much did you get paid to promote it?"

"I'm not promoting. I'm just telling you what I saw."

"I see it too."

"Well, continues?"

"I still want to be alone."

This is what Gerdy was worried about. He suspected Mami of pretending to believe that Papi was dead, because she could not bear to see her daughter-in-law so diligently looking.

Gerdy doesn't care whether Mami believes it or not, the important thing is that the sun rises on her in-laws' faces so that it looks brightly glowing, not cloudy every day.

It only occurred to Gerdy that at home there are three attractive single women. He guessed it was one of the factors that made the store crowded. Or is it his wife who is a special attraction? He knows every guy looks excited to see Nadine.

"Why did your mind get there?" nadine commented one day.

"Fraud is most fun with married women" Gerdy says. "There's no responsibility behind the day. I'm sure men will line up if you open the door."

"You like that in the office?"

"Most in the office cheating happens to women who are married, or have been married. I guess in your office so do."

"I don't fucking tuh."

"I'm not talking about you."

"So you were talking about me. Put on saying men queue if I open the door. You think I'm a stadium counter?"

Discussing the affair the aftermath must be uncomfortable, even though the mirror in the household.
