The Enchantment of the Pelintrik
Not Husband Wife
Irma refrained from harassing Beni while at home. Because, from the moment you get the question when Beni will divorce Madam Suzan, her ex-husband suddenly became quiet.
Irma chose to rest her body after coming home from Mbah Kancil's house. The campground he finally handed over to his mother that day. He wants to maximize recovery after treatment. So Irma locked herself in her room all day.
For dinner, Irma orders food online because of lazy cooking. His body is still limp seems to just want to sleep on a mattress without any work interruption. You could say he was slightly benefited by the presence of Beni, because this afternoon his children ate outside with his father without bothering him.
“Mama is healed huh?” ask Novia attention.
“Already! Just a little headache.” Irma smiled to calm her daughter down while arranging the dishes that had just arrived at the dining table. His family had been completely gathered in one place like before. It made her heart a little happy.
“If you've done well why don't you cook, Ir?” ask Beni suddenly. “I was actually hoping you made my favorite dinner!”
Irma stared in annoyance, then replied rather curiously, “I'm tired, Mas! This is your favorite food!”
“Yes but it's different, I'm here because I want to eat your cooking!” Beni ate lazily like a child who did not match the menu of side dishes served by his mother.
Holy hooch! Irma was completely inexhaustible with her ex-husband acting spoiled. “Not now you're used to eating produce?”
“It is precisely the frequency of buying food so I want a different atmosphere, eat the results of your cooking! This gini-like menu makes me no appetite,” Beni replied no less upset.
Irma did not respond further as there were her two children between their debates. Everyone was silent until dinner was over. Beni's plate still left half a portion that he hadn't spent.
With a big breath of disappointment, Irma cleaned the dining table and threw away the leftover food from Beni's plate. He kept the man quiet again until his two children went to sleep.
“You didn't go home, Mom? I was tonight,” said Irma while looking at the wall clock that shows ten o'clock at night.
From earlier she waited for her ex-husband who was watching the live broadcast of the Indonesian league to resign. In fact, Beni instead took a pillow and enjoyed the television show while sleeping like at home.
“Wait for the ball to finish!” answer Beni casually.
“I don't feel good about mom! I was reprimanded because at eight you didn't come home. Think also what the neighbor said, Mas! Don't be selfish like this,” said Irma sarcas. Really, he did not like the behavior of Beni as he pleased.
“Why should we think of our neighbors, we don't ask them to eat!”
Beni turned, “You riled me?”
“It is not better that you finish your business with Madam Suzan first if you want to go home?”
“Yes but not now, Ir! I told you Suzan was out of town, right?”
“So that's why you're here? Why do I feel that you came just because there is a button, Mas?”
“I have the button, I need to meet the kids! You can't separate them from me no matter what,” said Beni stubbornly. “On my relationship with Suzan, I will take care of it. I'll divorce her!”
Irma was shocked, not believing what she had just heard. “Ohya, when?”
“After he returned from Banyuwangi!”
“Oh okay, I wait for the good news!”
“So I can stay here, right?”
Irma's heart fights between right and wrong, between right and love and confusion. “Yes you've slept with the kids!”
After saying that last sentence, Irma locked the front door. He went to his room to rest without caring for Beni.
However, Beni intercepted him in front of the children's room. “I slept in your room huh, Ir? Narrow the children's room if used three!”
Irma sighed tiredly, “Mas .. we are not husband and wife!”
“Iya I know. Mostly just hugging when we are still dating first, Ir!” beni said with a reassuring smile.
SERIATE....
