THE PEBINOR

Chapter 17 - THE PEBINOR

At night, Dion stared at the room whose door had been closed for a few minutes. Melisa did not lock her door, but somehow Dion felt hesitant to enter her room. 

"Mails.." Finally, Dion called his wife. However, there is no truth from within. Dion thought that his wife might have fallen asleep. 

The man entered the room, opening the door slowly. Dion closed the door again, but he was surprised to see his wife was not asleep.

"Why are you?" Dion asked as he saw his wife's face filled with white powder. 

"Maskeran, let's glow as you want." Answer Melisa, slowly. Because the mask was almost dry, he did not want the mask cracked. 

If asked, where did Melisa have a mask, yes from Arvin is the answer. The young man gave some organic masks to Melisa, she accidentally bought them online. Especially for Melisa alone, the woman was wearing her happily. 

"Where do you have the money to buy a mask?" Ask Dion.

"Mas don't need to know." Melisa replied flatly, without looking at her husband. After making sure the mask was dry, Melisa went to the bathroom to wash the mask with warm water.

"It's so weird." Dion murmured, the man was astonished. Where does his wife have the money to buy a mask? Meanwhile, he just gave her money to just buy vegetables and daily necessities. 

"Like her, I have to cut down on Melisa's daily shopping money." Mumbled Dion again. The man changed his clothes and lay on the bed. 

However, before long Melisa went into the room with a clean face. Dion's shock had not stopped there, when she opened her eyes, Melisa was wearing cream. 

"What are you wearing?" 

"Skincare dong, night cream." Answer Melisa. Again, a package of skincare was bought by Arvin. Last afternoon, her package came and the young man immediately gave it to Melisa, the point she had to help Melisa make her husband regret. 

"Where do you have the money to buy that?"

"Why the hell? Yes, from the rest of the shopping money you love. Because I realized, I had to change. I should be glowing like a Korean." Answer Melisa flat.

"Ckk.." 

"Don't mess like that, you have to realize, if you want to have a beautiful wife, you have to give me a lot of money to take care of." Melisa's Syndicate to Dion.

"You need a billion treatments, if you're ugly, you're ugly! So, don't need treatment if it's still ugly, squandering money." Ketus Dion's. 

"Don't fuck around, if I'm pretty in someone else's modalin."

"Huh, does anyone want to be the same burik woman as you? There won't be, I'll marry a woman like you." Dion replied spicyly, making Melisa lift the corner of her lips. 

'We'll see, is it true that no one will want to be with me?' Melisa. Although he was heartbroken by the man's scathing speech, but he would not show it because it would make Dion happy because it managed to make him angry. 

"Lisa, I want my ration."

"Sorry, Mas. I'm coming by the moon." Melisa replied, she was lying next to her husband, but again what makes Dion even more astonished is, Melisa sleeps behind her back.

In fact, usually Melisa most anti-sleep her back, at least she will lie on her back, rather than having to turn her back. But now, the woman did.

"Mails.."

"Yes, Mas. What was? Just sleep, don't talk much. I'm sleepy, tomorrow I have to get up early." 

"Hmmm, but it's not unusual for you to sleep like that." 

"Well, then what do you want me to be like, Mom?" Melisa asked, then turned around and lay on her side towards her husband.

After doing so, Dion fell silent and closed his eyes. He was also exhausted, had to go to bed early today because tomorrow there was camp at school. 

The next morning, as usual Melisa woke up early, then went out to buy vegetables. 

"Morning, Mum. This is the money for this week." Melisa said to Ms. Amel, while handing over a hundred thousand money to Amel. 

"Yes, Neng Meli. Thanks, the others have not paid. Later, after coming home to buy vegetables, I immediately check." 

"Yes, Mom." Melisa replied with a smile, before long, as usual she would see Arvin who had just returned to work out. 

This morning, Arvin just threw his smile without greeting the mothers as usual. The young man smiled very sweetly towards Melisa, and was countered by Melisa. 

"Cieee, don't smile like that. Later baper, keep being love." Ratmi's mother said to Arvin while patting the handsome young man's shoulder. 

"What the hell, Mom? Just a smile, time can't. No one is forbidden."

"Yes, no one is forbidden. But, Neng Meli has a husband."

"Forgot, Mom. Hehe." Arvin replied with a chuckle, he scratched his non-itchy nape. 

"His husband is horrified, you're finished, Vin." The other mothers' temptations made Arvin laugh.

"Bodo is very, not afraid." Replied Arvin again, making Melisa's face blush.

"Hisshh, it can't be that." 

"Why, I only fight for my own happiness, even if later I have to take another man's wife." Arvin answered, while running away from the crowd of mothers heading to his house. 

"Meli Neng.."

"Sorry Arvin yes."

"What a hell, Mom. Let it be, anyways maybe just a word of prayer." Melisa replied with a small smile.

"Yes, don't go into the heart."

"Yes, Mom." Melisa replied, but still she could never be unkind if she saw the man's treatment so soft and it made her heart melt. Because, to be honest Melisa never get the attention that Arvin gives her at this time. 

Shortly after, Arvin came out with his usual clothes, short-sleeved t-shirts, as well as his knee-length color.

"Morning, Mom. I forgot it was passing by." 

"By the back, son Arvin." 

"What do you want to cook the plan?" Ask Arvin kindly. 

"Hmm, confused. See what's in the vegetable." 

"Yes, I'm confused about cooking on an old date." Reply to the other mothers while chuckling. 

"Well, if Neng Meli mah his money must be there continue, he cooks his delicious continues." 

"In my opinion, cook good food also for what if you can not taste." Chirps Arvin smiled cynically.

"Well, she meant?"

"No, Mom." Melisa replied with a smile back. As for Arvin, he only glanced back at Melisa. However, the woman was unaware of the sharp delicacy directed at her.

Shortly after, as usual, the vegetable maker came. All of them immediately rose up and surrounded the vegetable merchant, all the mothers chose vegetables, including Melisa. However, he was not calm because Arvin stood pat with his.

"I'm done, bang."

"Tumben bit, Neng." Ask the vegetable merchant while counting the groceries chosen by Melisa.

"Make it Dion."

"Lho, how do you keep going? What's food?" Ask Mrs Ratmi.

"There are still leftover vegetables that yesterday, continue to make corn bakwan, there is still squid sambel. That's more than enough, make me eat later." Melisa replied with a smile.

"Who did you buy squid for?"

"Mas Dion is." Answer Melisa. After finishing paying, also giving her change, Melisa also said goodbye to go home soon.

"I'm first, Mom." 

"Yes, Neng Meli." Melisa also went away with a crackle filled with squid and some kitchen spices that have been used up.

"Casian yes, Neng Meli. The time he ate vegetables anyway, the rest of yesterday again. But, her husband was even in a delicious masakin." Chirps Bu Ratmi, even though she's a woman of kindness and care. 

"Yes, what a mess. I have a very selfish husband." 

"Heem, kasian Neng Meli. Just look at her look so skinny yeah, it's not slim, but skinny."

"Udah Bu mother, kasian Mbak Mel his kalo ngedenger kayak gini." Said Arvin, even though he was the first one who had provoked an opinion. 

"Yes, but it's really Neng Melisa."

"If it's Kasian, we'd better shut up. Later Mel's mother is sad if we talk to her, this is a household affair she is the same husband, do not want this can be called his disgrace." Arvin again.

"Yes too."

"Yaudah, this is the money bang. I just bought a red onion, same shrimp."

"Do you want to cook what shrimp?" Ask Bu Amel curious.

"Towers flour anyway, continue in the same cocol sambel squid from Mbak Mel kemaren."

"Ohh, that's delicious."

"Yes, Mom. I'm first, excuse me." Arvin also went from the vegetable brother and entered his house, not forgetting to lock it. 

Before long, the mothers were astonished to see Dion leaving with his disheveled face, even his clothes were as tangled as his face.

"Tumben went in a crumpled uniform, his usual is always neat right?"

"Yes, I don't know what the couple is, but whatever it is, hopefully he doesn't hurt Melisa anymore." Said Ms. Amel, the other mothers also nodded in agreement on the opinion of Amel's mother.
