Married To Chef Jutek

The Truth about Jasmine

After the prayers of Magrib and Isha, everyone went to the table.

Silent. No one dared to speak. Melati turned several times towards Aunt Dinda. Guilt filled the bottom of his heart. While aunt Dinda and Dewi are so arrogant that they do not want to look at him.

"Arjuna" said Aunt Dinda, opening a conversation as she tasted food at the table.

"Yes, Auntie?" Arjuna stopped his activities. Flowers hurriedly kept away the side dishes that were around Arjuna.

"I want to talk to you about something."

Arjuna smiled, he already knew the direction of Aunt Dinda's conversation.

"You see the face of the Goddess, full of wounds. You see her hair is usually decomposed long and beautiful, it was tangled and difficult to comb. You see the usual cheerful face of the Goddess now, moody with disappointment."

"Goddess, are you okay?" ask Arjuna.

While Melati lowered her head. Guilt was growing in his heart.

"I'm not okay, brother. Last afternoon, Melati attacked me. He even hurt my face. I don't know what's wrong with me."

The flower that stood near Arjuna, stared fiercely at the two humans. He knew exactly the waviness they were doing to disturb Melati. Melati stood up, she walked towards Aunt Dinda.

"My aunt was wrong, I'm sorry. What a mouth I am educated in is not to speak harshly to people older than me. I am afraid that my Father will take away my sins, especially now that I am married, I am afraid that my husband will be rewarded in the Hereafter for my mistakes. Please forgive me." Melati bowed in apology.

Aunt Dinda who saw Melati, was surprised because she did not expect the behavior of the village girl. While Arjuna was no less surprised by the others. Melati called her 'Suami' Arjuna shifted her gaze. This guy he called Melati as husband.

"Dear, what are you doing?" ask Arjuna.

"I did what I had to do, sir. If you hadn't threatened to kiss me, I wouldn't have made a mistake like this. I avenge the Goddess not out of hatred for her, but out of fear that the Master proves the threat. I don't want my first kiss forcibly taken by Master." Melati cried, wiping away tears with the tip of her hijab.

Hearing the words, everyone's mouths were wide open. Even Aunt Dinda's mouth almost fell on the table, so shocked.

'What did I hear? Are they not like husband and wife in general? Why did Mister threaten that Melati would kiss him, and Melati was so frightened?' Floral.

'Is true? They've never even kissed?' Mr. Gus.

'What kind of marriage is this, Melati and Kak Juna?' Goddesses.

Arjuna did hear Melati's confession. He had not expected Melati to be this honest in front of so many people.

'Stop your chatter, bacteria!! Stop!!!' yelled Arjuna in the heart.

"Sir, Aunt Dinda is the sister of Mr. Arjuna's parents. Indirectly the responsibility of your parents is on the shoulders of Aunt Dinda. Why did you ask me to return their treatment? This is not true, sir. Huhuhuhu huhuhu."

Aunt Dinda's eyes were getting rounder, she swallowed her coarse saliva. He did not realize if the courage of Melati because it got encouragement from Arjuna.

"Sa .. I, ask you to repay Dewi, not Aunt Dinda." Arjuna.

Now the eyes of the Goddess are round. He could not believe what he had just heard.

"Hem, hemm!!!" Arjuna cleared his throat so that everyone would hear. "Dear, sit! I said sit down!!" snapped it.

With a scared face Melati returned to her chair.

"So, I'll explain. Actually this house is equipped with a TV side in all parts, except rooms. I know what's going on in this house. Goddess, Brother often sees you deliberately torturing Melati, impregnating her, insulting her. Even lowered his pride. And I, don't like that!" Arjuna looked sharply at the Goddess.

The girl was silent a thousand languages, she only knew that it turned out that all the rooms had CCTVs and were monitored directly by Arjuna. He also felt bad because he had cornered Melati.

"I know it all, Goddess. Because I was annoyed to see Melati just silent when you menzholimi, therefore I asked him to reply. Aunt, as Melati's husband and family, I'm sorry. Honestly, I just want to make Dewi deterred."

Dewi and Dinda looked at each other. They were afraid of being driven out of this big house. Arjuna looked at Aunt and her cousin for a long time and then looked at Melati. The girl was still crying.

"I shouldn't cry because of this. My tears deserve better to weep for my sin against the Creator, than to weep for a little problem like this. I'm sorry, all. Aunt Dinda, once again I'm sorry. Goddess, I also apologize. Sir, I'm sorry too, because as a Wife I almost plunged you into hell. I just hitchhiked here, I don't know how long. I promise I'll make myself more useful to be here."

Melati got back on her feet, got the dishes for everyone, then filled them with rice and side dishes. Sometimes he wipes his tears with the tip of the hijab. Everyone was silent watching. At first Arjuna objected to Melati's attitude, but then he chose silence, letting the girl do as she pleased. Still in their silence they eat.

Patiently waiting for Arjuna to finish eating. While the others ate, Jasmine stood back up, filling each empty glass with water.

"Mrs, let me!" Flowers feel bad.

"It's okay, Flower Ma'am. I can do everything." Reject Jasmine.

Arjuna finished. Melati took her plate, occasionally the girl still wiped her tears, though not as often as before. Arjuna watched Melati eat so voraciously. The girl seemed to have no burden.

'Is this girl that sincere?' inner aunt Dinda.

He just kept watching Melati with a feeling that, I don't know.

'Your acting is too bad, Melati.' Goddesses.

In contrast to Dinda, Dewi actually hates Melati even more by thinking Melati is just imaging, Melati is just racking to make people impressed. Jasmine finished eating. He cleaned the table, took all the dirty dishes to the kitchen and washed them. Again he forbade Flowers to help him.

Arjuna decided to go upstairs first. He's waiting for Melati in the room.

"Ma, let's go to bed! Why are you still at the dinner table?" Bring Goddess.

Dinda hesitates to go to the room, as a mother, she pityes seeing Melati. He began to think how if the position of the Goddess was in Melati. His son would do something like that. He apologized, but he was clearly not wrong.

"Why are you bengong? Don't tell me Mama's been hypnotized with that village girl?"

"Mama only .... "

"ah! Stop, come!" The goddess pulled her mother's hand and took her to the room. While Dinda just resigned to obey the will of his son.

***

Arjuna lay down his body on the bed. Every sentence spoken from the mouth of the village girl disturbed his mind. About Aunt Dinda, about husbands, about parents and everything.

Voice phone call connected.

"Hello, Arjuna." The man was silent for quite a while. He wanted to tell her many things, but Arjuna was not ready to open up. "Arjuna, why? Talk, Son. Can you take us back?"

Arjuna was silent, he looked down deeply. The relationship and the Mama is not okay since the departure of the Papa, Arjuna was so hit and thought everything was wrong Mother. Arjuna forgets, soul mate, death and fortune are three things that have been destined by the owner of the universe.

"Mama, refrain from contacting you. Because Mama knows, you won't talk to Mama. How's Aunt Dinda doing, is she healthy there?"

Arjuna did not reply, his lips were trembling with closed eyes.

"Son, Mama saw the news on your television wedding procession. What's-her-name? Melati, Mama's really eager to meet her."

Again Arjuna could only remain silent without answering. After thinking long enough Arjuna decided to end the phone just like that. He got off the bed and walked towards the secret room. The door is open, the room is not too wide. The walls are painted gray, so many photos are attached to the wall. Photo with Dad. From a child to a teenager.

His father was a great chef. At the edge of the room looks silver-colored prayer mat stretched out. In the other corner there is a mini sofa as much as two pieces equipped with lights on the side. Arjun slowly walked closer to every photo. Then full of taste should touch those photos.

"Papa .., "he said in a hoarse voice.

Seen in the photo the Papa looks very happy hugging the small body of Arjuna, wearing typical Chef clothes. The door of the room sounded open, Arjuna quickly wiped away a tear that peered at the end of the eye. He immediately came out of the special room and met Melati.

"It's all done?" the question is not answered by Melati.

The girl took off her hijab and immediately lay down onto the sofa.

"I asked you if it's all over?" Arjuna raised his voice a little.

"Already, sir," said Melati without turning her head, her position lying on the sofa on her back to the man.

"I want to talk!"

"Not now, sir."

"You dare to refuse?"

Melati immediately got up, and sat facing towards Arjuna.

"You're mad at me?"

"Where do I dare to be angry with you, Sir."

"Then tell me what you think of me."

Jasmine was speechless, the expression on the face of ayu was flat.

"Say!"

Melati. He took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry, I. You, the only head of the family in this house. As the head of the family you should reconcile the people in this house. Not even make him fight with each other. You can already be a good Imam to all the residents in this house. As the head of the family you must love everyone in this house including Aunt Dinda and Dewi. As the head of the family, you should be a role model in this house, sir. Your attitude is asking me to fight with the Goddess, is it worth calling a role model? Should violence be countered by violence? My teacher taught us to be forgiving, sir. Not a vengeance."

Melati take a look. Either courage from where until the village girl dared to protest with the jutek man in front of her. The girl's hands were full of sweat, her heart was filled with unease.

'Oh Allah, it looks like I'll be finished!'

Arjuna walked closer. He stood right in front of the girl. His hands folded on his chest watching Jasmine's face.

'Why is this girl sometimes smart and rational?'

"Oh, sleep there! It's night!" his orders were answered a nod of the head by Melati.

The girl pulled the blanket up to the head, which made Arjuna snort, laughing.

"Well, there's-there!" Arjuna turned around and walked towards the bed. He threw his body on the bed, and once again looked at Melati before finally falling asleep.

***

Early in the morning, after the dawn prayer Arjuna did not find Melati in the room. Breakfast was placed on the sofa table. Arjuna sat down and sipped his coffee. Then eat the bread that has been smeared with chocolate jam.

'Where is he?'

Arjuna looked at all the rooms. Curious Arjuna walked out of the room. From above Arjuna saw Melati mopping the stairs. Jasmine proved her promise. He will be a useful man in this house. Arjuna stared in silence. Bibik hasn't even come here yet, but Melati's been busy cleaning up all.

Arjuna took his phone in his pants pocket and called Gilsa.

"Have you investigated everything?"

"Here you go, sir."

Gilsa explains in detail to Arjuna the origin of Jasmine, and why his mother had so much heart to throw her here. While listening to Gilsa explain everything Arjuna continued to look at Melati.

"Mother and Mr. Melati who was now long blessed with a child, so that his Father married another woman. Melati was born with a second woman, unbeknownst to the first wife. Melati's biological mother died after giving birth, so inevitably the Father had to bring Melati to the first wife. When Melati's age entered the age of three years, the first wife is believed to have offspring."

Arjuna hung up after hearing all of Gilsa's words. He walked closer to Melati. Then stand in front of him.

"Sir, are you awake? I've prepared your breakfast on the couch table."

Arjuna just shut up. He went down the stairs closer to Melati then looked at the girl fixedly.

"Sir, did I make a mistake?"

Arjuna was silent, he held tightly onto Melati's wrist and just pulled Melati in his arms. Melati tried to take off the hug, but Arjuna was so tightly hugging her.

"Be quiet, or I'll kiss you" she whispered in Melati's ear.

Jasmine sculpted, confused with Arjuna's behavior.
