Taking Care of Smart Acting In-Law (Empiring Ikhlas)
Innuendoes
Arman was forced to sleep in the house, without a blanket and only use his bag as a pillow. Previously he went to the stalls around Bu Ani's house and bought food while asking about their whereabouts.
"Sorry, I don't know. But this morning there was still," replied the shopkeeper's mother.
"Oh so, ma'am, if there is a cheap inn here, right?" Ask Arman.
"No Mas, it's still a village. There is also a house contract, that's already filled all," replied the shopkeeper's mother.
"Oh so, thank you Bu the information," said Arman passed away. He chose to wait until morning, who knew Nita was coming home. Many times calling was still his wife's number was not active.
It was cold, that was how Arman felt. Sleeping in a bamboo chair without any base. He also only brought a few change of clothes and jackets, until finally he wore two jackets of his own at once, fortunately he also brought socks.
There is still gratitude that he offered, he now has to be patient waiting for the arrival of his wife. I should be able to bring Nita home, Inner Arman.
The sound of the dawn prayer woke Arman, he rushed towards the source of the sound, to the nearest mosque. There he listened to tausiah for a while, where there should be cooperation between husband and wife.
Housework is not entirely the work of the wife. It is the responsibility of the man who should be able to provide a decent and clean residence for the wife, giving her a decent and healthy meal. The wife is only obedient, the wife cleans the house solely to relieve the work of a husband who is tired of working, hoping for ridho and also reward.
During this time Arman considers it the duty of the wife, even making a living is actually alms if done by a wife. I should be lucky to have a wife like Nita, I shouldn't be selfish and want to win by myself. I should have listened to her grievance, Inner Arman.

That morning Arman bought breakfast wrapped in rice paper, he then took it to Nita's house. He wished there were people and the door was open. But no one was there, Arman spent his food in the house.
Arman had intended to wait until noon, but his phone rang.
"Assalamu'alaikum.., what is Riki?" Ask Arman.
"Diamana's father? I want to go to school, but no one takes care of Grandma. Ms. Nuni said she couldn't take care of Grandma anymore. How's this dad?" Ask Riki.
"You can do it, Miss Nuni already gave me money. Dad come home now, you're allowed one day yes, buy food in front for grandma too!" Arman.
"But yeah, grandma stinks like a bowel movement. I can't clean it up," complained Riki.
"Astagfirulloh. Later father calls again Bu Nuni, Nabila told the school yes..!" Arman.
"Yes yeah," Riki replied in a lethargic voice. It seems Riki indeed objected to the task given by the father.
Arman ruffled his hair because the problem seemed to come in a row. Problems that come from any direction, it turns out not just a matter of sustenance that comes from any direction. Dela and mom's problems make her dizzy, plus Nita goes and becomes a new problem, instead of helping.
But, it's my fault too. Naturally Nita goes away because of stress and stress, inner Arman.

At about 3 p.m., Arman arrived home. The house looks quiet, the house looks neat too. Who's taking care of all this? Didn't Bu Nuni refuse to continue the work today? Inner Arman.
Arman's heart suddenly pleased, he tried to go to all the rooms to find his wife. But he did not find the woman of his heart.
"Nabila ..., Mama's home yet?" Ask Arman.
"Loh, right Mamah is still at Grandma Ani's house, if you think Mamah will go home with Dad," replied Nabila.
"Then, the house is clean and tidy? And your grandmother has not eaten yet?" Ask Arman curiously.
"Oh, this is me cleaning everything together with Riki. Grandma was clean too because Nuni was back to clean grandma, he said pity me and Riki's brother confused. Bu Nuni nitipin this money also for Dad, he said take half because it can only be a day," replied Nabila.
Arman was sitting limp, he was really disappointed that there was no Nita in the house. But at least his mother is still taken care of, he again called his wife and still not active.
Not long after a short break, Arman went to the food stall in front. Where maybe he cooked while his body was still tired from the long journey. The eyes of the mothers along the way made Arman uncomfortable.
"What's wrong with all of them? Is there anything strange?" Mumbled slowly. But as much as possible Arman thinks positively, enough already his head is filled with the burden of the mind. He did not want to add to it anymore with trivial problems.
When passing through the mothers, there was a loud voice of Ms. Fatma, "if that is the fall of slander and deadening the sustenance of people, the mouth of the man kok lemes yes, save his mother but slander of others. Poor thing Rini so lonely job right."
"Benere Ma'am, pity his wife too if her husband's family behavior is that," said Bu Kila.
"Yes, from yesterday I didn't see his wife. Did you stop because you couldn't stand it? Good that, mending only if the mind is tormented, hmmm..," replied Bu Lili.
Arman felt it was for himself when he heard Rini's name, but tried to be positive again and considered it for others. After all Arman doesn't feel that he's doing that slander, he still thinks he's right, his mother's right.
That afternoon after feeding her mother, Miss Maryati was invited out by Arman. Walking so that his mother's legs are not stiff, Arman helped hold his mother, Maryati also had to hold on to his cane.
"Hmmm.. Where is your wife Man, usually also Nita who takes care of your mother. Where do your kids want to be, right? Selfish, want to be alone. A turn of nimble treasure. Your mother's paddy field has been measured yesterday with Dela, want to be sold huh? Though his mother is still alive" said Ms. Fatma.
The deg!
"Mom Fatma mean what does that say?" Arman asked with a flash of angry eyes. Arman was upset that Miss Fatma also spoke the origin. He was also surprised by the discussion of rice fields being sold.
