Tough girl in novel

*Episode 20's

"Mary! Apparently you?" There was a pretty obvious disappointed tone from the speech. However, the tone soon disappeared as Tantri saw Maria's ample luggage.

"Where have you been, huh! Not been home all night. But right back home, you know bring a lot of groceries."

"Wait on! What do you think, you last night finished staying at the same hotel om-om huh, Maria? Therefore, you now have enough money for the ponya-foya like now." Tantri spoke in a tone full of ridicule.

Maria grunted in annoyance. He wanted to feel angry because of the words his aunt had said just now. But, he realized, there was no point in him getting angry and arguing with the middle-aged woman. Not to reduce the problem, but instead add to the existing problems later. Better to avoid problems now. For the true purpose of Mary, not this family, but her future husband.

Maria chose silence as she continued to step inside. Enter ignoring Tantri who is still in front of him.

Feeling neglected, the annoyed Tantri became even more annoyed. He held Maria's arm rather the girl did not move away from him just like that.

"I'm not done talking, Maria. Why can you just leave, huh? Where is the respect for your manners as my husband's nephew?"

"I'm your husband's nephew, aunt. Not your nephew, is it? So, why do I show my manners to auntie. Auntie's not my aunt either."

"Mary!" Tantri was annoyed by those words. He immediately called out to Maria in a high voice.

"Don't take care of me much, aunt. Because I'm not your son. What you need to take care of is your son, right? So, let me do what I want to do. As long as I don't bother you, then I suggest, don't bother me" Maria said, staring intently at Tantri.

That gaze made Tantri shudder in horror. Not only staring, Maria also put away Tantri's hand that was still holding her arm. After that, Maria passed leaving Tantri alone at the door.

Without being able to do anything about it, Tantri could only fall silent. Thinking about what just happened added the thought of Tiara not coming home now.

Maria reached the room, then released all her luggage onto the bed. Then, he also dropped his body among the scattered items.

Tired, really tired. Now he felt how tired he was when he got home. Mary lifted her phone to look at the clock. Calculate the time to rest, with time to leave for the Arkan residence.

"Ah, still have plenty of time. At least, there were still four or five hours. I can rest for a while before continuing my duties here" said Maria, closing her eyes with both hands.

Meanwhile, in front of the entrance, Tantri again got a sense of disappointment when she opened the door. All she expected to come home was her son, but all she saw was Ratna.

"Ratna's? Apparently you?" Tantri spoke with a tone and face filled with disappointment.

Seeing that, Ratna who understood very well what Tantri was feeling, immediately raised one eyebrow.

"What's up, auntie? Why if it's me, hm? Is aunt disappointed?"

"No. I'm not disappointed. Who said I was disappointed?"

"Auntie didn't say. But the tone of aunt's speech just now was very clear that right now, aunt was holding back a sense of disappointment."

"It's none of your business, Ratna. You don't need to know and don't have to take care of my business. You better take care of your best friend who just came home after leaving last night." Tantri tried to divert their conversation.

The diversion plan worked. Ratna looked so shocked and so incredulous at the words Tantri had said just now. He stared fixedly at Tantri's face to seek the truth of what Tantri had said.

"Why do you see me like that, huh? Can't believe you with what I just said, Ratna?"

"Of course I don't believe it. Because what auntie said just now seems completely impossible."

"No way you think, but that's the truth. I'm lazy to argue with you now, Ratna. If you think what I said is not true, please just look at the room. He was probably unpacking the things he had brought from the outside earlier."

"Stuff?" Ratna increasingly put on a face of disbelief with what her ears heard.

"Yes. Grocery items in quantity, mm. I'm sure she just finished shopping before she got home."

"Shopping? This is impossible, aunt. Maria couldn't have been shopping without me. Aunt knows that too, right? Maria .... "

"Ah, thats. I-i know. I also know that you won't believe what I'm saying. Like I said, I don't want to argue with you. If you don't believe what I'm saying, go straight to her room. Look directly at your own eyes. That way, maybe you can accept the reality and believe what I just said."

Not wanting to say much, Ratna immediately listened to the advice of Tantri. Walked quickly to Mary's room with a heart full of unbelief.

Arriving in front of Maria's room, Ratna directly barged in without knocking on the door first. His eyes were round when he saw Mary lying between paper bags lying on the bed.

Without further ado, Ratna just spoke in a high tone.

"Mary! You've been shopping a lot, huh!"

The speech suddenly made Maria who just wanted to sleep, so woke up with a shocked look. He looked at Ratna with a very annoyed look.

"Mary, you can-can-can't, shopping a lot like this without taking me. You forgot me now? You forgot you had friends, huh? Forgot you? Forgot?"

Maria grunted in annoyance. If he had also said his heart, maybe he had yelled at Ratna with a tone that was louder than Ratna's tone just now. But unfortunately, he could not do that because it was not yet the time.

"Hey .. can you say that without emotion, Ratna? I shop because I need all these things. Besides, you weren't home yesterday either, how should I take you, and you're not."

"You can pick me up, Maria. Or else, you can also wait for me to come home shopping."

Maria smiled grinningly listening to Ratna's words just now. Want him to throw the woman into the pool to be self-conscious and not carried away by dreams constantly.
