PARASITIC MAN

Offside

~Happy Reading~

On the other side; Rulof, who was angry at Ambar's words, entered the room and slammed the door of the room hard. He entered the room and went straight into the bathroom to cool his head. Even though it was night, he took a cold shower to cool his heart completely hot.

Ambar who had always been silent and according, everything he wanted and said, now dared to fight him. Dare to reply to everything he said with more hurtful words. Rulof went back out of the room to the dining room to fetch the cold water in the fridge to drink. Because his heart was still hot over the recent events.

When Rulof opened the refrigerator, he only saw the bottle of mineral water in the refrigerator. He opened the freezer to look at chicken, fish or frozen meat, but it was gone.

The two-door refrigerator is completely empty. 'Did Brother Inge bring all this? Where did the chicken get eaten from?' Rulof thought and wondered to himself. He was unable or unwilling to answer. Because if he wants to justify what he has in mind, he'll know who gave him dinner tonight.

He also tried to ignore it by not answering. Because he will know, the reason. Why Ambar now dared to answer and started to rebel against him.

Then he opened the kitchen set to see the contents. He was surprised to see the contents of his closet were almost empty. There is only a can of Juha milk, a sugar jar that lives half its contents, a tea box and 6 packs of instant noodles.

He sat down on the dining table chair and went back to drinking the mineral water he had taken from the refrigerator. 'I've left this family so far away, that I don't know what's going on in this house.' Rulof said in the heart. He went back to the room to sleep, because he had to rest. His anger had been replaced with fatigue, as his body and heart became very tired and fatigued.

Rulof was holding his chest which was painful. He took a slow breath and breathed it out. Problems experienced in the last few days make his chest began to often tight and sore.

*((**))*

On the other hand; Ambar who had returned to Juha's room, pondered what had happened to him these past few years. All this time he kept quiet and accepted all of Rulof's decisions, because he knew Rulof was a good husband. Responsible husband, even though his family sucks.

Sometimes Ambar felt sorry for Rulof, as his family never gave him a chance to breathe with relief. There is only what they ask for and it must be fulfilled. His sister could suddenly ask for a plane ticket to Makasar-Jakarta-Makasar just for a walk to Jakarta. The reason, the same kangen his two brothers in Jakarta.

Rulof easily gave what his sister, brother and mother asked for. Without thinking, there were now wives and children. As an excuse to justify his actions, he said his family made him what he is today. Can have a good job and high office.

When Brother and Sister had married, Ambar felt somewhat relieved. He thought, maybe by getting married there was a change in the behavior of Brother and Sister to Rulof. It turns out that after they have a family instead of decreasing, mala is becoming more and more so. Just like Inge's brother has done lately. He made Rulof's house like a free mini market. Come to take what is necessary with all his will. Rulof had given him money.

All this time Ambar let it go, because for him most importantly, Rulof loved himself and Juha. All household needs are available. Rulof will soon replace the food stock that his older brother Inge has taken.

But almost a year ago, he felt Rulof had changed. Household needs are often ignored, although he has told there is a stock of family needs brought by his brother. So often the supply of family needs is up before the end of the month. As it is now, the middle of the month is already confused.

Rulof's attitude changed towards him as well. I rarely kissed him or touched him. The reason is always cape', because often go home at night and start eating dinner at home infrequently.

Weekends often come out on their own, as there are off-site jobs to keep an eye on. The work of his men needs to be assisted in the process, so that it is quickly completed. If he does not supervise, his men like to work carelessly or like.

She reflexively hugged Rulof who was in front of her who was about to pay. Ambar smelled the fragrance of different perfumes in Rulof's shirt. Ambar thought, maybe the smell of others around them. But when he saw the one who was far away from them, Ambar was sure that the smell was from Rulof's clothes.

Ambar started kissing Rulof's work shirt before washing. He was more and more convinced, having smelled the same smell as he had kissed while at the supermarket back then. Ambar took Rulof's perfume and compared it, it was not the same. It was the smell of a woman's perfume, a delicate and feminine fragrance.

Rulof has other women out there. Ambar did not want to make a fuss, because Juha was still a child and Rulof was still paying attention to her family.

But now Rulof is offside. He has crossed the line as a husband and father. He had crossed the line of patience of his wife, Ambar Kirania. So Ambar began not to accept the treatment of the Rulof family. He protested from the small to the big as he is today.

When she remembered her son Juha, Ambar bowed and prayed. May God help and strengthen him. Because as a wife and mother, she was no longer able to live it. Only God can handle it.

*((**))*

The next morning, Rulof had woken up, bathed and dressed neatly. He had to go to the office, because he didn't go to the office. "Art, please make some tea for me." Rulof said, sitting at the dinner table. He knew that was all in the kitchen set.

"Good, sir." Say Art while reheating water in a teapot that is already warm. Because he had made tea for Ambar's breakfast.

"This, Sir..." Say Art, while putting a cup of tea and sweet bread in front of Rulof.

"The others haven't woken up?" Ask Rulof, and start breakfast. His heart was a little relieved that there was bread for his breakfast. Now looking at a piece of bread for breakfast alone, it was already fun for him. Something very sad, considering his position in the office.

"Juha who's still asleep, sir. If you've already left for work." Say Art, then walk into the kitchen. He did not see Rulof's shocked face, as if in disbelief.

"Where does he work?" Tanya Rulof, curious. According to him, Ambar can work with the age and status of his marriage is married. She also has no work experience, considering they got married while she was in college.

"No idea, sir. I was just saying I was going to work." Answer Art, relax.

"This is the money you bought for you. Don't forget to buy eggs." Rulof said while issuing a sheet of Rp. 50,000 from his pocket and give to Art.

"Good, Sir. Thank you very much." Say Art, while receiving the money. Rulof immediately finished his breakfast, took his office bag and headed out to the garage. Art came out to push the fence, before being asked by her employer.

Rulof felt something was missing. Usually Ambar will take her when leaving for the office. He remembered his son, Juha. Now can no longer force her to go to school, as Ambar is not there to pick her up.
