The Three Lords Wife
Chapter 2 - Vegetable lodeh
Abah Akbar knew that the two young women in front of him were uncomfortable. He understood because his guests came from the city, especially with the appearance of Esmeralda and Charlotte which is far from simple words.
"We have a villa near the road that connects the garden, Mr. Ronald can stay there" Abah said glancing at Esme and Charlotte.
"Sorry troublesome, Abah introduce Ronald's nephew, this is Esmeralda and Charlotte," Ronald lied
"What Ronald introduced me as his nephew, what the hell," Esme's upset.
No less surprised by Ronald's words. Charlotte looked at Ronald without blinking.
Esme and Charlotte chose silent. They'll be holding Ronald later but not now.
Esme is Ronald's best friend who leveled up to become Ronald's first wife. While Charlotte, a match arranged by Ronald's late parents, the mandate that makes Ronald give love to Charlotte. Although not fully said feelings of love.
But as much as possible Ronald be fair to his wives, divide the time together. Don't want any of them to feel more affectionate or less considerate.
"Diminum, son Ronald, Ma'am" said Umi Fatma with a smile
"Sorry, son Ronald, we are a simple family" Umi said. Ronald nodded and smiled back.
"Umi, Mr. Ronald is intending to see our tea garden, is that right, sir?" ask Abah
"Yes, Umi" replied Ronald
"Mir, can you take our guests to the tea plantation, son?" umi asked Mirza, who had just slipped from the middle door, which was connected to the kitchen and living room.
Mirza never said no to Uminya. Spontane agreed to Umi Fatma's orders.
"Can, Kok Umi but this is almost adzan, you should wait for the dzuhur time to pass," said Si Sulung Mirza.
"Ronald" said Ronald, shaking Mirza's hand.
"Mirza," retaliates Ronald's hand.
"Astagfirullah .. "inner Mirza saw charlotte and Esme's clothes.
Esme and Charlotte both wear sleeveless t-shirts, with a sponge skirt above the knee.
Mirza looked away, then turned back. Umi Fatma felt something was lacking, where her daughter.
"Well, where's Azzah?" ask Umi
"The opposite in Umi's garden" replied Abah
"Allah, Azzah ... have a daughter, who wants to marry her if the shape is rich in burnt cassava," said Umi stroked the chest
"Who said, Azzah Abah's daughter, Umi did not see. The Bento just chased Azzah from a long time ago," said Abah
"Ehem," Ronald coughed
"Sorry, son Ronald, so it's not good to have guests" said Umi
"If you can tell, what's up, Umi?" ask Ronald
"This loh, my daughter Umi, Azzah she if it's in the garden, can forget the lunch hour, Azzah likes to help pick tea leaves," said Umi
"Women are like that, no, guessed it," Sambar Abah glanced at Umi
"Change," Umi's nudge on her Husband.

At lunchtime, Umi takes her guests to the dining room. There are dishes of fried sambal ati potatoes, anchovy beans and vegetable lodeh, complementary such as crackers. Strange menu for Charlotte and Esme.
"I just found out there are vegetables like this Umi," said Ronald
"Yes Ronald, this is a vegetable why all types of green - forage so one in this container, where the color is like Esme if not dandan," said Charlotte pongah
"Your mouth is Charlotte" whispered Esme
Charlotte grimaced while still bribing the rice. While Abah and Umi chuckle at each other without any intention of offending.
Afterwards, Mirza escorted her to Abah Akbar's guest inn.
Esme breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the room of the Villa more spacious and comfortable, compared to the old and narrow house of Abah Akbar, which made Esme a headache. Esme stared at the design of the modern inn that would be where Esme rested. After a long time his butt cramp, because of a long journey.
Brucks
Esme sat on the couch. " Huh, Ronald I took a bath, it was going to sleep" Esme said, leaving Ronald in the room.
Ronald breathed a rough sigh. "Esme I'm not sure, he can be invited to live hard," Ronald murmured.
"My husband, where there is a wife who wants to be invited to live miserable," said Charlotte
Ronald pinches Charlotte's cheek.
"What about you?" ask Ronald.
"Not to be unhappy together, but it would be nice, a husband always struggles to make his wife happy" said Charlotte
"My husband, who will sleep with tonight?" ask Charlotte
"Just like you" Ronald replied
"If Esme is raging how, today Charlotte is horrified, but ...."
"What?" ask Ronald
"May I know my Husband, why did you say Esme and I were nieces this afternoon" said Charlotte
SKIPS
In the room after cleaning.
"I can't wait to hear myself out of Ronald's mouth, let alone, what he's up to" Esme murmured.

Tea plantation
Azzah was in the backrest, already past lunchtime. The reason Azzah dismissed himself and took shelter, because the heat of the sun seemed to be on top of the head.
"Neng Azzah, let's eat together, eat the same - equally more delicious," said one female official
"Yes, Mbok narsih in delicious. Azzah eat at home later, pity Umi, already masakin for Azzah," said Azzah
In the distance, Azzah saw a man in neat clothes walking straight closer to the club, walking in tandem with his sister Mirza.
"Face - his face is not a villager here," inner Azzah.
"Excuse me" Ronald said.
