Sulastri's Struggle.
Chapter 59
Lastri went into Arman's room where his nose first inhaled the scent of the perfume of the room spread by the AC to make anyone who was in the room feel at home. Lastri then sat on the sofa scanning the perimeter of the room.
But Tri felt restless looking down on his chin, breathing heavily. He felt pomegranate. Hownot? She may be happy to be Arman's wife now, but what about her in-laws?
If you can choose, Tri certainly does not want to live in Arman's house. It is better to stay at home alone, although very simple, but the family is very warm even if there is a conflict, in contrast to the Arman family which is always colored by tension every time they gather. But now she is Arman's wife, and must go wherever her husband goes. But what if Mrs Sulis one day comes and. Aahhh. Tri's mind was completely filled with negative thoughts.
"Heee... Why are you daydreaming?" Arman, fresh from the toilet, rubbed his wife's head, which was still covered in hijab.
"This is our room, don't you like it? If you don't like the color of paint, and so on, then I can fox as you want" said Arman while removing the jacket and hanging it with a hanger.
"No, I like it, '" Tri covered up his heart.
"This house that bought Mas itself, or Dad?" this question was thrown from Tri's mouth, because Lastri did not want to be considered a daughter-in-law who enjoyed the facilities of Arman's parents and at the end of the day Sulis will taste Tri married to Arman just want his property.
"Why do you ask that?" Arman sat on the sofa next to Lastri.
"Mas, frankly, I'd be honest, if we shouldn't just stay at my house,"
"What?" cut Arman fast.
"It's not so Mas, I'm afraid if you stay at Mas's house, then people will assume I'm a materialistic woman, I don't want Mas,"
"What people do you mean? Mom right?" ask Arman.
Tri locked his lips tightly.
"Tri. It's only natural that you stay with me, because I'm your husband, that's right. Masa, I was told to stay with you" Arman rattled.
"But, Mom..."
"Darling.. have it.." cut Arman leaned Tri's head on his shoulder. "Don't worry Tri, this house I bought myself with my efforts, you can buy a house even to accommodate your extended family, my time as head of the household could not buy a house for my wife" Arman said.
"do you know? When I bought this house, it wasn't worth using, and I remembered you and I dismantled it and repaired it like your dream home,"
"My dream house? I mean," Lastri was shocked and then woke up from Arman's shoulder.
"You remember that? When you were SMK, your bag fell off the table, then it was a mess, and when you tidied up your diary left under the table, I kept picking it up" Arman smiled.
"What?!" Tri surprised. "So... Mas, reading my diary?" Tri looked at Arman in disbelief.
"Hahaha.yeah, actually I have no intention of reading, I kept the book. But when we failed to get married 5 years ago, I missed you Tri, because you left without a trace, that's when I started reading your diary that I always kept in my bag,"
"Iihh... sassy!" Tri pouted means Arman had known his personal secret all along. Though the book asked him to write about his love story with Arman Lastri embarrassed to remember it.
"Have no pouting, I'll bite my lips" Arman kissed his wife's lips softly.
"The bottom line is, you once wrote, wanting to work hard, in order to buy a decent home for your mother. Well, instantly I fix this house and I make it as you want," said Arman at length. At first the house wanted Arman to give it to Lastri's parents. But when Arman came home intending to meet the family of Mr. Suryo, it turns out his home in the village is no longer inhabited.
"Good thing this house is not so Mas give, if until it happens, what Mother's response about me Mas," Tri was horrified. After all, the Lastri family would be unlikely to accept.
"Yes already.. Now we don't think about things, what matters is you and me, don't think about other people,"
"Tri.pardon mom, to traumatize you like this." Arman looked at the sad Lastri.
Seeing her husband sad Tri finally switched the conversation. "Oh yes Mas, I went down first yes," without waiting for Arman's answer, Lastri then left Arman to the kitchen.
"Non" said Inem, who was cleaning vegetables in the refrigerator, listening to the soles of his feet and turning his head.
"What's in the fridge? I want to cook for lunch" said Pastri excitedly.
"Many Non, this morning I have been shopping to the market, but let me just cook" said Inem.
"Let's go, but it's still a holiday, later if you start teaching, start to the boutique, cooking time there is no Ma'am," said Lastri.
"Mas Arman likes what you cook?" tanya Tri scanned the refrigerator.
"Gurami grilled, sambal terasi, keep lalap vegetables boiled, Non," replied Inem.
"Oh" answered Pastri briefly then cooking, an hour later it was ripe.
"Waah.. eating this wife's first meal must be delicious," Arman commented with a smile.
"When it's not good how?" tri asked as she scooped the rice onto her husband's plate.
"It must be delicious, let alone fried fish, you cook that hard can," Arman meant when Lastri was given a requirement by his mother two months ago.
They then ate with raven, Arman until penetrated.
In the afternoon the couple opened a gift in the room while laughing amusedly when Arman opened a lingerie gift from Sundushah.
It was time for Lastri to open a gift from her in-laws that was given two months ago. "Mas I'm afraid, what's the contents of this" Tri turned the gift over with a feeling of anxiety.
"Just open Tri, if you're afraid, here I open,"
"Bismillahhirahmanirahim..." Tri tore the golden gift paper, little by little until it looked cardboard inside, then opened the duct tape.
Brak!
"Maafr..." Tri throws a gift at the wall and embraces Arman's body.
"What's up, baby? What's the contents of the gift from Mom?" Arman looked at the gift lying down.
"I'm afraid, Mom, what do you mean?" Tri took off his embrace, then Arman took the gift and opened it wide.
"Astagfirrullah... What the hell do you mean?" Arman did not understand because the contents of the gift contained rats that had dried. If opened at that time, the rat is either already in a carcass or still alive only Sulis bu know.
"What does this mean? What's my fault, Mas?" Tri shook Arman's hand, his tears he could not bear. The girl who used to be strong and tough ready to face any challenge now felt humiliated.
Tri corrected himself, is he the same human as the Rat? the question popped into Tri's mind. Thiicus is a disgusting animal, often carrying diseases, cunning, stealing, and known greedy, harming many people. Tri is only a small person not a corruptor, and never stole the property of others, then why was given the gift of the beast.
"I'm sorry Mother Tri," Arman could not bear to then re-hugged his wife.
