SUFFERING WITH IN-LAWS

The Toxic Neighbor's Circle

Now my spirit has increased, after being praised many times this morning by Bima mas.

I came out with a radiant face, I headed to the kitchen to make breakfast Bima and the children.

But when I opened the fridge, there were no ingredients to cook.

"huft.I forgot that the cooking ingredients were gone." I muttered.

I took the wallet over the fridge. And immediately went out of the house to see the usual vegetable maker in front of the house of Dewi.

When I sigap the window curtains, it turns out that the vegetable maker has a standby in his place.

I'll install my Khimar soon, and get out of the house.

I just remembered about Edi's car parked in front of the house last night. Where did that car go now? Even Edi's house has no car. And who was the woman that Edi was carrying last night?

"Eh.. mbak Sarah. Want to shop mbak?," Dewi's question made me realize from my daydream that thought about women last night. Because from behind I am very familiar with the woman's body.

"Oh. yes, Wi." answered me with a smile on the Goddess who is very friendly to me, although I was very annoyed with his attitude that was negligent on Bima mas.

"Tumben mbak Sarah shopping?, usually right if mornings mbak Sarah never come out to shop." asked Dewi.

"Where was yesterday? do you like the boiled sweet potato that I brought?," continued Dewi gave me a question with a smile without the slightest guilt.

"Like, Wi." I replied briefly with a slight smile. Because, long lazy also serve the Goddess who I think is too much to talk.

I choose vegetables neatly arranged on a stall made of wood board.

And Dewi seems to be no tired of asking me questions, already like a journalist.

Sometimes he laughs while choosing vegetables, looks like we are already very familiar. Because several times he told other neighbors about yesterday afternoon he came home while carrying boiled yams.

"Ehem..ehem." suddenly there was a voice of a person beating from behind me.

Instantly the Goddess was instantly speechless and laughing.

Because I was curious, I turned my body to find out who was coming. Because by hearing the sound he cleared his throat successfully made the Goddess who continued to nyerocos can stop instantly. And it was really lucky for me, making my ears feel relieved and painless.

It turns out that what came and was behind me right now is Ana's mom. Apparently Dewi was afraid of Ana, because she immediately fell silent.

"Mbak Ana, want to shop?," asked Dewi kindly to mbak Ana.

"Kok looks like you're really happy, Wi?," asked Ana while glancing at me.

I was confused by Ana's attitude, why does she always stare at me cynically like that?

Like a person who has a grudge, when before I did not know him. Don't meet me, never.

Even when I smiled at him, he never replied. Just retaliating with a cynical look.

"What a freak!," I murmured inwardly.

I immediately picked and paid for the vegetables and meat I took. I want to get out of this toxic circle of neighbors.

"Kok hurry, Sarah?" asked someone who had just come from behind me. And now he was beside me, when I found him. Turns out she's Edi's wife.

"So last night when Edi took the woman, Edi's wife was home?" I said in my heart.

"In asked why even dumbstruck." said Mr. Edi's wife made me embarrassed, because when I saw her I was stunned.

"oh. yes mbak. Afraid of the kids waking up. Because this is cooking for their breakfast." I replied in confusion.

He just smiled and passed to choose vegetables neatly arranged on a board made of wood.

"Wi, I first ya..," I say goodbye only to the Goddess after this groceries I've paid.

But what happened, the Goddess looked at me with a cynical look and did not answer my words at all.

"Why is it with him?, it seems like he was okay. How did he suddenly change like this? I feel the change of Goddess after the arrival of mbak Ana." said my heart greetings.

I rushed home regardless of the demeanor of the chameleon-like Goddess. It can change at any time and at any time.

"Assalamualaikum," I said my greetings as I entered the house.

"Waalaikumsalam," replied Bima who was sitting on the living room sofa.

It turned out that Bima was well dressed, and looked ready to go to the store.

"Where is Bima going?" I asked.

"Yes, get ready to go to the store, baby." she replied.

"Wait a minute, my mom. Sarah made breakfast first." I said and walked to the kitchen.

I immediately cooked an easy meal, because it was a little afternoon. Afraid of Bima too late to the store.

"Mas, Uda's cooking is done. Have breakfast!" take me.

I also went to Kean's room, to wake him up. But Kean was awake and had taken a shower.

What a very independent child, without being told he has done his duty.

"Honey, let's have breakfast." take me to Kean who is combing his hair in front of the mirror.

"Ok amma" he answered while giving one of his right thumbs.

"Amma wait at the dinner table, baby." I said while pointing at the dining table.

Kean nodded his head, which meant that he agreed to my proposal waiting for him at the dinner table.

tok tock!!!

I knocked on the door of the Princess's room, but there was no answer.

"Put.put...," call me. But still no answer.

tok tock!!!

I knocked on her door again.

"Ih...why bother the Princess to sleep anyway?!," said the Princess when opening the door of her room.

"It's noon, Put. Let's get up, take a shower and have breakfast." I ordered.

"Ih...malas!!, he said and then closed the door again.

"Astaghfirullah..," I murmured while stroking my chest. Why is the child's attitude so rude to parents.

I left him, if I ladeni can go crazy I'm home alone.

I walked to the study table, seen Kean already sitting next to Bima mas. And Bima mas very painstakingly serve Kean.

Mas Bima took rice and side dishes for Kean.

"Kean eats a lot ya..," said Mas Bima to Kean.

"Yes dad. Kean must have eaten a lot, because amma cuisine is unmatched in this world." Kean's flattery made me smile blushing in shame. Because when Kean flattered me, Bima looked at me with a loving look.

"Thank you, baby, I love amma's cooking." I said full of haru.

"Sama-sama amma" said Kean with his mouth that kept chewing.

"Whose daughter, dear?" asked Bima.

"I'm in the room." I answered briefly. Because I was so lazy to talk about that child, which every day makes my mood messy.

Children like being under-educated, to the point of not understanding being polite to older people.

Honestly my heart ached as he spoke in a high tone. For a whole new time this time I was treated like this as a child the same age as Princess.

"Aren't you awake? it is already noon." said Mas Bima.

"Uda mas's. But he won't." I replied.

Now Bima mas who walked to the Princess' room. Then he knocked on the door of the Princess' room.

"Put, let's wake up and take a shower and have breakfast. Cepetan dad wait." said mas can when the Princess opens the door to the room.

"Yes father." said the Princess innocently.

Uh. The Princess' attitude is very annoying. Why he can obey and obey Bima mas. As for me, it's completely reversed.

When you talk to me, you often talk with snapping. If I had told him to, he would have refused.

The princess walked to the bathroom, while Kean and I continued eating. Mas Bima returned to the dining table, and immediately ate the food that was already on his plate.

"You have to be a little more assertive to the Princess, mas." I said.

"Why Princess, what did she do?" asked Bima. "He's fine and very obedient" he continued, chewing the food in his mouth.

"Yes, the princess is just following you. But if it's me, he's not obedient at all." I'm clear.

"Maybe you just lack approach to the Princess" said mas Bima.

"I'm getting closer, mas. But it was her daughter who always stayed away."

"Yes keep trying, don't be easily discouraged." this time Bima's words like cornering me.

I also stopped this breakfast, because the stomach was full even though only a few spoons entered the mouth.

Now the Princess came, apparently he did not take a shower just wash his face. And I stood up to put the dirty dishes I ate.

"Soide you, deck!," the Princess pinched Kean's arm.

"Auw..," said Kean reflex.

"I want to sit here. Beside my father." said the Princess with a ketus.

"Why are you, son?" I asked as I turned around.

"Kean is okay, Amma." Kean replied covering up the Princess' behavior to her, but I knew that she had been pinched by the Princess.

Then Kean moved away from Bima mas, but why did Bima just keep quiet to see the behavior of his son who I think is not good.

"Dad...take the rice donk." said the Princess in a spoiled voice.

I saw Bima mas painstakingly serving the Princess, the same as when he was serving Kean.

But what makes me hurt is the behavior of the Princess who pinched Kean. And he didn't feel guilty at all.

"Dad, today the Princess is with the father. Princess wants to go to grandma's house." said Princess.

"Well, the hell went to the grandmother's house?, here was a friend of Sarah's mother." asked Bima.

Then I saw the Princess whispering in Bima's ear. And mas Bima nodded her head.

Then Bima looked at me, I immediately threw away my face and pretended not to see it.
