My Husband Doesn't belong to Me
Chapter 13

As usual, before dawn I woke up. But now different, I will no longer clean the house or cook anymore. I'll leave the room later with Mas Tio.

To fill the time, I also do tahajud circumcision prayer, teach and study files in e-mail that I have not seen, then I pray dawn.

Did not feel the time has shown half 6 am, I also decided to take a shower and get ready. After that I woke up Mas Tio.

"Mas let's get up, it's noon." I said while shaking Mas Tio's body.

"5 minutes left deck." Mas Tio rasak.

"There's not 5 minutes 5 minutes, now get up and take a shower." Say me by continuing to shake Mas Tio's body.

"Yes bringel." Said Mas Tio while waking up from his sleep and had a chance to give a kiss on my forehead.

I could only smile in surprise, looking at Mas Tio's behavior as if there was no problem. I also put his work clothes on the bed.

Haus. . . Haus. . . Haus. .

My bedroom door was knocked hard by my in-laws.

"Nadira. . . Open the door." Shouted Mother-in-Law.

Haus. . . Haus. .

Kolkata. . .

"Yes, what's wrong, ma'am?" Ask me to relax.

"You still ask? Basic son-in-law is not useful, quickly clean the house and make breakfast! What time is it? Swish it to the kitchen." Mum-in-law's angry speech while pulling my hand.

"Loh ko me?" My words are plain.

"Well it's the mother who has to deal with all that? What's the point of you being a daughter-in-law. .?" Angry Mother-in-law.

I deliberately linger in front of the door of the room, so that when Mas Tio finished bathing he will know the behavior of his mother. And right, Mas Tio came out on time.

"What's this?" Mas Tio asked confusedly seeing me being pulled out.

"Eh Tio, are you awake? Mommy think you're still sleeping?" Mother-in-law said.

"It's late Mom, what's the matter with you?" Ask Mas Tio again and I just listen.

"This was my mother's asking Nadira to help me in the kitchen and clean the house." My mother-in-law lied.

"Nadira wants to get ready to go to work, Mom, later if I have a vacation, help me." Say it while blinking one eye.

I saw that Mother-in-Law seemed upset by my answer, and without answering she left our room.

"Second, are you ready yet?" Tanya Mas Tio who was tidying up her work clothes.

"Udah mas." I said as I approached Mas Tio.

"Yes, we're leaving now, let's have no luck." Said Mas Tio holding my hand.

"Yes, um." Say it with a smile. We walked out of the room together to the dining table.

I laughed when I saw the dining table that was empty. While Mas Tio looked confused, usually at this dinner table there is a full breakfast menu that I made.

"Room. . . Mother. . ." Call Mas Tio to Mother-in-law.

"Let's look in the kitchen, yeah." Said me and in the ballast nod by Mas Tio who was focusing on his cellphone.

Turns out the kitchen is still a mess, washing dishes a lot. I wanted to make things right, but I was still upset by Mom's attitude.

So I let the kitchen go like this, and I went back to the dining room. But Mas Tio seemed unaware that I was approaching him.

"Grandm. . ." I also cleared my throat.

"Where's mom deck?" Mas Tio said, while hiding his cellphone in his pants pocket.

"Mother isn't in the kitchen! I'm going ahead first yes mas, buy rice sit." My speech.

"Yes deck! Don't be long, it's almost noon." Mas Tio told me.

I also walked out of the house, to my neighbor's house which was selling rice.

"Mom, is there still rice on it?" Ask me.

"Eh neng Nadira! There's a neng, how many packs?" Ask Ms. Lia the rice seller.

"Buy 3 packs aja Bu, wear all eggs yes and sambal her in the split." Say it while looking at the available menus.

"Ready neng! The fritters are still hot-necked." Said Mother Lia while wrapping my order.

"May you ma! Bala-bala 5 aja Bu, because he wants to go to work. Afraid no one's gonna eat a lot." My words, which usually buy a lot of fried food, for my snacks.

"Ready neng! Now working neng? Where do you work at?" Ask Lia's mother.

"Yes Ma'am, in the old workplace. Long time bosen also ma'am in the doang house." Say me, while taking the still-hot reinforcements and storing them on rice paper.

"Yes, I'm still young." Said Lia's Mother.

"So how many are you all?" Ask me.

"So 35,000 neng, nih mother bonusin 1st bala." Said Lia's Mother.

"There are many yes ma'am, always only in bonus if snack here." My words are always given a bonus by Mother Lia, even if only 1st reinforcements. I also handed over the money to Lia's mother.

"Sama-sama! Neng mah Osok exaggerated, tibang 1atuh neng. Komo neng mah osok ngabantosan mother wae." Mother Lia said with a smile and handed me my groceries.

"Jeez, I'm still talking about mom! Yes, Mom, I'll go home first." Saying I'm saying goodbye.

"Yes be careful." Mother Lia said kindly.

Lia's mother had to fend for her daily needs, because her husband was paralyzed. Lia's mother used to sell around while holding her baby son.

Since I couldn't bear to see it, I offered to help. By providing business capital, so that Ibu Lia can sell in front of the house as it is today.

At first he refused, but I continued to insist and finally he was willing to accept on condition that he would be returned by repaying it to keelas.

Inevitably I agreed, because Mother Lia is a hardworking person and does not want to be pitied by people. Until now can sell rice uduk in the morning and home cooking in the afternoon to evening.

"Assalamualaik." Say my regards.

"Wa'alaikum hail, deck! Come on deck, this afternoon. It's late." Mas Tio.

"Yes, um." Answer me as I walk to pick up dishes and glasses, then prepare them at the dinner table.

"Where's mom, by the way?" Ask me a curious.

"Mas also did not know, on the phone it turns out the sound is in the room. I don't bring a cell phone." Say Mas Tio while eating rice.

"Maybe go shopping for a vegetable, mas." I said a lie, because I had seen mothers crowding the traveling greengrocer, but there was no mother-in-law.

"Here's eating the deck!" Mas Tio.

"Yes, um." Answer me briefly, while eating rice.

"The deck is finished! You finished yet?" Mas Tio said while cleaning up the leftovers in his mouth.

"I am too! I'll clean this up first, yeah." I said while cleaning the dining table and keeping it in the kitchen.

"Let's go." Take me, while approaching Mas Tio.

"Let's deck." Mas Tio said as he walked out of the house.

"But, what house is this? I don't exist! Keep us key or what? I'm afraid I didn't bring a key." Ask me confused.

"Yes, the key will be simple under the key mat." Said Mas Tio while turning on his motorbike.

"Okay mas." I said while locking the door and keeping it under the doormat, just like Mas Tio ordered. I rushed to the bike.

"We're leaving on deck, bismillah." Mas Tio.
