The Tongue of In-Law

I was expensive when my husband worked.

“Mas tomorrow has entered work yes Darling,” Afgan said to his wife.

Shireen who was wearing night powder in front of the roulette immediately turned to Afgan who was lying on the bed.

“Unfortunately we have finished our leave, quickly also yes.”

Afgan then rose from his sleep and approached his wife. Hugged his wife's waist.

“Why Dear..” ask Afgan.

“Yes it's okay. Shireen tomorrow uda work also Mas.”

“Work?” ask Afgan again.

Shireen immediately nodded her head while saying.

“Iya Mas, as usual Shireen will work in the store Pak Budi.”

“Let's you tired Darling..”

“Nggak loh Mas. Shireen is used to work, otherwise work is not good.”

“You at home aja accompany mom why Babe,” pinta Afgan.

“But Mas, Shireen bored at home aja.”

“Later if we already have children, surely you are not bored.”

Shireen immediately raised his head to face Afgan.

“But now we don't have children, so Shireen can work. When we have children, Shireen promises to quit her job. Can ya Mas?”

Hearing the persuasion of Shireen, Afgan can not do anything. He nodded his head immediately. Especially when looking at the smile of Shireen teasing makes Afgan increasingly anxious. Afgan immediately kissed Shireen's lips and carried her to the bed.

“Mas, Shireen is not finished wearing powder.”

But Afgan who could not stand the turmoil in his soul that had tempered disregard for his wife's words. He immediately did his activities that were getting hotter. After the summit point was reached, both of them were drowned in bed.

Because Afgan and Shireen go to work so early in the morning Shireen is awake and immediately go to the kitchen to cook breakfast and supplies that will be brought to the store. It is customary for Shireen to bring lunch with him. Every day he gets food money to buy lunch, but Shireen has the same money. All this Shireen did to save his living expenses.

After Shireen finished cooking, Ms. Nana then showed up to the kitchen.

“You're done cooking Shireen?” asked Nana when she saw the dishes were arranged neatly on the dining table.

“Already Mom, everything is done Shireen cook. Shireen was confused about what to cook, but Shireen saw in the refrigerator there are fish and vegetables so Shireen cook directly. Her fish Shireen sambal and her kale Shireen stir-fry,” Shireen explained.

“If so son-in-law ya have to be like this, do not just laze and ride live alone,” said bu Nana ketus.

Shireen's heart was like wanting to be dislodged hearing her mother-in-law's words were very spicy.

“This is what Shireen?” asked Nana when she saw the bontot place that already has contents that Shireen will bring to work later.

“It's stock for lunch at work later Bu.”

“Didn't you work for a salary?” ask mom Nana wonder.

“Iya Ma'am, Shireen gets a paycheck. Why is it Bu?” shireen asked confused by her mother-in-law's question.

“If you get a salary, why bring supplies. You can buy rice there.”

“Indeed, yes Ma'am. But to save even more so Shireen brought provisions from the house Bu.”

“Oh, so you want to save so that your salary remains intact while your supplies are brought from this house? Your way of thinking is good too. If this is the way, I can get out. Shopping money is running out, while your salary is intact.”

Afgan who just came out of the room as soon as he heard the voice of his mother's conversation that was not so clear went straight to the kitchen.

“What's Bu?” ask Afgan.

“Eh. Wake up?” ask Nana's mom friendly.

“Iya Ma'am, Afgan want to heat the car first. But just now Afgan heard like there was a commotion in the kitchen so Afgan came here,” said Afgan while watching his mother and wife.

“This Afghanistan. Shireen said starting today has entered work.”

“Indeed Yes Bu,” says Afgan.

“Mean her mom told me to bring lunch at the store. But Shireen did not want to because he said he wanted to buy there. I was worried because I did not have time to buy Shireen did not eat. Afraid she'll get sick,” said Nana's mom lied.

“Oh. Baby, you bring the provisions. If you bring supplies every day, your food will be controlled rather than have to buy. Buying food is not necessarily hygienic and the food that buys a lot of flavoring. You better bring food from home?” He seemed worried about his wife.

“Iya Mas,” Shireen replied briefly.

Shireen was surprised by her mother-in-law's words. He did not expect it turned out that his mother-in-law who he considered kind and attentive to him, was inversely proportional behind him making Shireen instantly dumbest.

When she reached the room, Shireen was still silent thinking about her mother-in-law's words just now. Seeing Shireen who was still silent, Afgan immediately asked. “Honey haven't had a shower yet.”

Hearing the voice of her husband, Shireen immediately wavered. “Eh, yes Mas. It's to take a shower.”

“Morning daydreaming who Dear.” Afgan tease while laughing.

“No Mas. Yes already, Shireen shower first yes Mas.” Shireen went straight into the bathroom.

***

Today is Shireen's first day on the job since marriage.

“Good morning newlyweds?” greet sir Budi rama.

“Morning Sir..” Shireen replied with a smile when she heard Budi's joke.

Mr. Budi is the owner of the flower shop where Shireen works. Since high school, Shireen has worked at the flower shop. While Irma's coworker Shireen just a year ago she worked at the store. Shireen who has long worked in the flower shop is very dear to Mr. Budi because in addition to being diligent Shireen is also friendly to customers making customers always a lot to come.

“Irma where sir, why haven't you come yet?” shireen asked when she saw that Irma had not yet entered the store.

“Irma since yesterday did not come. He said he was sick so I bothered,” obviously Budi sir.

“Oh yes. What pain does Irma have, sir?”

“Says last night fever.”

“Hopefully get well soon yes Sir.”

“Iya Shireen's. Oh yes Shireen, last night many customers asked you loh.”

“Oh, yes...”

“They're a lot on angry because you didn't invite.”

Shireen immediately smiled hearing the words of Mr. Budi.

As usual when new arrived, Shireen cleaned up the shop. He also wiped the windows and doors, all made of glass. After the room was all clean, Shireen immediately arranged the flowers and placed some in front of the store. While Mr. Budi not every time in the store. He was only a few hours in the shop, after which he went to another one.
