The Sugar Mommy

Not Feeling Appreciated

Hapoy....

Rian decided to return home after getting tired of driving around aimlessly in a clear direction. At about three in the afternoon, Rian arrived at his one-bed house. In Rian's heart he had prepared himself if at any time Elsa would nag him. It's up to Elsa to tell Rian what. Rian will still be home for a break.

Arriving at home, Rian finds his house empty. The door was closed but not locked. Rian went to the room, but only found Faqih—his infant son lying on the floor.

"Faqih," called Rian in surprise.

How could Rian not be surprised to find Faqih under—as if the baby had just fallen out of bed. Rian was flabbergasted, he ran away and carried the silent Faqih and just moved his pair of eyelashes up and down.

Rian found traces of tears in the corner of Faqih's eyes. Rian was instantly worried, what else Faqih seemed to be silent when she first discovered was a very baby.

There was anger in Rian's heart. Faqih likely fell on the bed when no one was home. Rian moved Faqih on the bed, in order to keep watch when Faqih was afraid of falling again, Rian accompanied his son to fall asleep.

"Elsa's Path." Rian clenched his hands holding back furiously. "Had known Faqih was a baby, but was left alone at home!"

Not long after Rian accompanied Faqih, Elsa came home with a very happy face. He did not drink water until his stomach was bloated. Because today he can eat delicious food from Mak Ratih.

Hearing his wife's footsteps, Rian left Faqih in the room. Not to forget Rian put bolsters on the right and left Faqih so that the baby is safe when left by his parents.

On the other hand Elsa went to the kitchen to move the vegetable loder and its side dishes onto her own plate. Mak Ratih's compost was taken to the dishwasher. After finishing eating later, Elsa will wash it and then pass it to Mak Ratih's house directly.

"Good, yeah. You here eat well, while I go not knowing the direction. You complain there is no food to cook. Then, what's this, Sa?" point Rian to Elsa's plate.

The rice on his plate was almost mountainous. Not to mention by Elsa poured jackfruit vegetables along with the food to her rice.

Elsa is shocked to find her husband coming home. Elsa melengos, responding to her useless husband's innuendo.

"In fact there is nothing to cook, Mas," replied Elsa casually. "I'm starving everyday. I went to Bu Marni's shop to pay for the rice. But there I was cursed without mercy."

"Huh! You're just an excuse. Just say you deliberately wanted to swallow me, right? You still have money for yourself. I didn't expect you to do such a cruel thing, Sa. I haven't even eaten yet either" Rian lamented.

"Mas want to eat? That's why, Mas! Work!" the inflamed Elsa's nag. "Do not usually complain like this and so if you never try!"

"Never have you ever tried to say, Sa?" rian protest did not accept to say so.

"The question is true, right? You are mostly at home! Every day you sleep, eat, sleep and then eat again. Even to help me finish my homework, you are reluctant!" peekik Elsa right in front of Rian's face.

One of the reasons Elsa is so fed up with Rian, her husband, has never been seen trying to find a job. Whenever urged to find a job out there, surely Rian answers because he does not have a diploma. He just finished elementary school. No one wants to take it to work.

Elsa was already caught off guard by Rian's attitude. Their lives are still this way. The problems they face are only about money, money, and money. Whether until when Elsa must be trapped in life everything is lacking.

Rian's self-esteem as if being trampled on was meaningless. She was the head of the household, but Elsa never seemed to appreciate her existence. Not respecting him just because Rian is more at home than at work.

"You're not tired of living like this? I'm just bored. I want to get out of this horrible zone. But apparently you like our lives that don't go forward." Elsa is eating. His appetite instantly plunged free because of Rian.

Who wouldn't want their life to change? Rian also wanted to. It's not just Elsa. But the problem is that Rian's efforts have not yielded results. Rian called his friends. If there are job openings without seeing a diploma, Rian is ready. He wanted to prove that Rian did not stay silent without doing anything. Elsa alone is evasive, not appreciating Rian's efforts.

Duk! Duk! Duk!

Elsa closed her lips tightly. Outside the door someone knocked on his door very rudely. Elsa and Rian stared at each other in silence. Elsa and Rian's facial features instantly changed. Guess the husband and wife couple, it could be the person outside is a loan shark.

"They're coming again" whispered Rian. "Have you locked the door from the inside?" asked Rian in the slowest voice.

"Here you go" answered Elsa.

Meanwhile, the conditions outside the house are already crowded by the neighbors. An incident like this when Rian was billed from one loan shark to another loan shark was indeed not a step incident anymore. They came to mind, from where Rian got the money to pay all his debts, if only work odd jobs.

"Rian! Rian! Open the door right now, or we'll knock it down! We know you're inside! Don't hide from you, Rian!" shouted one of the loan shark's messengers.

The big man tried to pull the door handle. Elsa and Rian instantly trembled in fear. If they open the door, what?

The loan shark's bodyguard questions one of Rian and Elsa's neighbors. The neighbor claimed to see Elsa and Rian enter the house alternately. There were even two pairs of sandals on his doorstep.

"So they're really home?" muttered. "Rupanya Rian wants to mess with us?"

Rian snatched Elsa's hand into the room. Rian closed the door, not forgetting to lock it tightly. He did not have the courage to meet directly with the loan shark's messengers.

"We hide first. Never leave the house even if there is a need! You got it, right?" ask Rian to Elsa.

"When are we going to hide, Mom? When?" elsa almost cried.

Rian silently stared. Elsa's question has just made Rian confused about what kind of answer to give. Because Rian did not know until when he and Elsa had to be cats.

SERIATE....
