Today Juwita sits on the porch with Natalie and Ayunda. There is no special thing they do, they just chat casually while momong children while waiting for a traveling vegetable maker.
Previously, Jeff asked Natalie and Ayunda to accompany Juwita if they did not bother. Understandably, Juwita is pregnant with her first child and they have no one. Prita and Caca are busy with her work, Melodi herself is also pregnant. While Nindi also takes care of her own husband who is still recovering. They can only rely on their good neighbors.
"Wi, you want to eat something?" ask Natalie. It just so happened that they knew Juwita was pregnant. It all started with Jeff telling Natalie and the news spread so that all his neighbors knew.
"No, Ma'am!" reply Juwita.
"If you want to eat anything, don't be arrested. Tell me the same Mbak Ayun or Mbak Natalie," said Ayunda who was feeding his youngest child.
Juwita just smiled. There was actually no special food that she had wanted to eat since she was pregnant. Juwita doesn't know why, but it seems to be just a baby. But if to be honest, Juwita felt any food tasted very delicious if the one who gave it was her husband. Whether it's buying, cooking it yourself, or giving away the neighbors though. Importantly the food had already gotten a touch from Jeff's hand before it went into his mouth. Pampered? Of course not. It's just baby stuff. The point!
In the middle of that leisurely time and small talk, a car stopped in front of Juwita's house. After knowing who came Juwita was immediately up and followed by Natalie and Ayunda.
"Go home now!" mama Reta said.
The woman was already standing in front of Juwita complete with four bodyguards. Without greetings without say hi, he was already speaking impolitely in the house of others. His mouth did take him home but that look of disgust could not be removed from his disgusting face.
"Who are you talking to?" ask Juwita.
Juwita was very relaxed despite the arrival of this uninvited guest. Juwita is no longer a child, it is not a obedient Juwita who will always say yes if asked. So even though her foster mother was carrying a bodyguard even though she was not afraid. There were only four of them and Juwita was not alone. There's Ayunda and Natalie beside him. Then a dozen meters in front there are neighboring men who are busy building mosques. If they dare to look for trouble, Juwita only needs to scream and the trash of this society will run out.
"Of course talk to you. Who else is it?" sahut Mama Reta's.
Juwita responded to that answer with a cynical smile. Is this woman joking?
When Sadewa took him away tell-tale years ago, he never even looked for him or asked him to come home. Juwita is alive or not, full or not she never cares either. So what exactly made him change his mind until he asked Juwita back?
Want to bring Juwita home?Just dream there. For whatever reason Juwita no longer cares. Why does he have to go home? What this woman calls Juwita's temporary home is Jeffsa himself.
"Go! Your arrival is not welcome here!" expel Juwita. It seemed like Juwita did not want to compromise with this stranger anymore.
"Juwita, you should come with me right now!" mama Reta said it started to get emotional.
His hands are clenched. If it can be likened, it seems that there has appeared puff of smoke from two ear holes.
"Are you deaf? I kicked you out earlier. If you want to go home, go home alone. Don't you have legs?" juwita sewot.
Hearing Juwita's sentence and seeing Mama Reta's expression, Ayunda immediately reacted. She asked her son to call the neighbors because it seemed like the situation was not good. While Natalie also participated in expelling Mama Reta.
"Oh, go there! Don't even think about going back and asking Juwita to come with you again. She's not going with you forever!" timpal Natalie's.
"What are you really proud of living in a slum like this, Juwita?" snapped Mama Reta by pounding the table. Ayunda and Natalie were shocked to death to the shortest but Juwita was ordinary because she was used to getting this treatment before.
"My mouth, it has nothing to do with you at all. So hurry up and leave before I get angry!" juwita.
Juwita can still be patient. But Mama Reta does not understand that Juwita's patience also has its limits. The middle-aged woman even began to ridicule and demean Jeff as well as the good people who coexisted with Juwita.
"Now it's my business. What a good thing your poor husband is. What a good thing about living with a lowly human like this. So come with me now that I have a better husband for you. Dante Adhyaksa, shouldn't you know who he is. I'll get you married to him as soon as possible. So divorce your poor husband and come with me now!" yell Mama Reta.
"Whisper!" yell Juwita.
Juwita snatched a teapot of hot tea that she actually served Natalie and Ayunda. Then flushed it right into Mama Reta's face without mercy. The gesture succeeded in making Mama Reta scream in pain and was helped by her bodyguards.
"You, you son of a bitch. See how I'll teach you a lesson later!" yell Mama Reta.
Mama Reta got up soon. The goal is definitely Juwita's hair to grab it. Ayunda and Natalie immediately put on the body. Intend to protect Juwita who is pregnant. But unexpectedly, Juwita had already advanced and gave a hard slap so that made the woman fall back to the floor.
Not without reason Juwita dared to slap him. Juwita knows very well Mama Reta's matre habits. He must want a rich daughter-in-law like Dante. But, what makes Juwita angry is why he had to be forced. Doesn't Mama Reta have two daughters?
"If you want a rich daughter-in-law like Dante. Just marry your own son to him. I am just a stranger. There is no blood relation between us so keep your limits!" juwita.
"I also want that Juwita. I want him to marry one of my daughters. But the condition he wants to make him willing to pay off all my debt is to surrender yourself. Do you think I'd want to come to this dilapidated house if it wasn't for that?" yell Mama Reta.
"W-what?" ask Ayunda and Natalie together.
They did not expect that there would be such a woman living in the world. While Juwita, she again smiled cynically. Then approached Mama Reta who was still slumped on the floor and gave another loud slap.
"Listen to this carefully. I'm not an item you can sell as you please!" juwita.
Mama Reta who gets treatment like this does not accept. He immediately asked his four bodyguards to take Juwita by force. But reinforcements came at the right time. The adult men who were busy building the mosque had come complete with hoes and any tools in his hands. Then without direct command hit the four guards to look like humans.
"Wi, are you okay?" tanya Ayunda and Natalie panicked.
Juwita just shook her head. Then immediately contact Jeff at that time.
"Jeff, go home now! I want to take you to see my former boss!"
