Tia nodded in understanding, it did not matter if the husband served the wife. That is a natural thing to happen, even though there is a husband who insists that all home affairs are the work of the wife, and the husband's job is only to make a living.
Unlike Hans and Aris, they are not reluctant to serve their wives who really need her husband's help.
"It's good that Aris is not a dictatorial husband. He wants to jump in to help his wife to carry out her duties. But we as wives should also not be too dependent on husbands. They are tired of making a living for us" Tia advised Devi as she scooped up food made by Aris.
Aris is a man who has been accustomed to being independent from the school days, he often helps Tia do homework charged to Tia by her mother.
"Yes, Mother. Devi woke up late because it was a habit when she was still a girl when she did not pray, she slept until noon," said Devi smiling. Understand if the sister-in-law would not like if her sister who has worked hard still takes care of the house.
"Okey, everything is done for breakfast, now we go shopping," cried Tia with a fluffy smile. Invite her children and sister-in-law to prepare for shopping.
"Okey, Ma" replied the twins Hasna and Hasan excitedly. In their minds they have recorded everything they will buy.
Tia, Devi, Hasna and Hasan set out with Tia at the helm.
"Bak Tia has been driving a car for a long time?" tanya Devi was happy to see Tia who was driving the car smoothly.
"Lumayan is, because mbak sometimes have to go to the office itself. Sometimes you also have to go pick up Hasna and Hasan" Tia replied with a smile while focusing forward.
"If I haven't been able to drive, because my parents don't allow their children to bring their own cars. I'd rather ride my matic moter," replied Devi innocently. There is a good side in Devi who likes simplicity.
"Bak used to love riding bikes, but after having kids everything changed. You have to be able to drive the car because the kids want to pick you up, and like this time they go home and buy something like ice cream."
"Well, having children certainly adds expenses, huh, Ma'am?"
"Indeed, if we have children, we should be ready to spend more money. But sure enough, the boy brought his own nutrition. God will pay back everything we spend on our children. Sure that, do not ever have a mind if you have children then our money will be a lot of out. For that, it remains the spirit to have children. There are women who have spent hundreds of millions just to be able to have children" said Tia.
Devi nodded digesting what Tia said. It is true, not a few women who want to have offspring, so they are willing to spend up to hundreds of millions to get pregnant.
"Yes, too, Ma'am. But Devi and Mas Aris want to have children soon, but we are still young. Hopefully what we want can be accomplished" said Devi excited.
"Aamiin's."
Tia drove the car at a moderate speed, not long after they arrived at a mall that became their subscription.
"Devi, which one would you choose? Whatever you like to take, let me pay," said Tia who knows from the expression of Devi who wants to buy clothes but is afraid to buy because the price is quite draining the bag.
Devi comes from the middle class, what he buys must be in accordance with the budget he has.
"Really, Ma'am? Devi can choose whatever Devi wants?" devi asked with a big smile. He could not reveal how pleased Devi was at this moment. Even if he asked the husband, Aris would easily buy it. Devi's maths count dominates.
Devi thinks if he asks Aris of course Aris's money will be reduced and their future savings will also be disrupted.
"Yes, Devi. Sometimes we have to pamper ourselves and share. In order for Rizki to be abundant and kept away from danger. Shodaqoh rejects reinforcements and protects us from various calamities" Tia said at length.
Devi's heart was pierced with the pa that Tia had said. However, Devi did not show any dislike towards the sister-in-law. What Tia said was simply an enlightenment for Devi.
"Yes, Mother. It's better that Devi immediately choose clothes so that they don't stay here too long" said Devi leaving Tia to choose clothes that suit her wishes. Mumpung gratisan, that's Devi's principle.
"What did you choose, son?" Tia asked her confused little girl to choose a dress that fit her well.
"Hasna's confused, Ma. Hasna choose which one yes ... Help Hasna yes, Mah," Hasna said expectantly in front of Tia.
"All right, pretty mother's angel. Thank God, you wear any clothes must look beautiful," Tia praised the princess. Before praising, Tia used to be grateful by saying tahmid sentences. Tia got all of that knowledge from ustadz who used to do it. All of that to avoid Ain's disease.
Tia follows the princess to choose a dress that suits her. When finished, Tia helped Hasan who was also confused to choose which one.
After being satisfied to choose clothes, they began to go to the cashier to pay for the clothes they chose. Devi's eyes rounded when she knew how many rupiahs Tia had to pay. And all of that seemed ordinary to Tia.
"Well, Ma'am Tia is really great. He spent so much money it turned out to be ordinary. Try it if it's me, it's been mama's nagging. So women should not be too extravagant, not kind, not pity husband, not pity parents," Devi murmured mimicking the mother as she spoke.
When it was over, Devi thought she would be home soon, but she didn't. Tia invites her children to shop for daily necessities. Tia deliberately bought a lot of groceries for Devi and Aris because her son would be there for a few days.
"Mbak Tia shopping so much? Like moving, Mommy?" gawking Devi chirps at Tia's groceries which are almost two full trolleys.
"Yes, this is partly also for you, the children will certainly spend a lot of soap, definitely teeth, laundry soap and others for children," replied Tia with a smile. He did not want to make his sister-in-law feel offended.
