“Hoaaaam, briefly dear I'm tired” Nathan said.
“Bagunlah, your mother continues to scold me because you are not waking up”
“It's normal, just let it” replied Nathan cuek.
To be honest, Riana was annoyed with her husband.
“At least breakfast first” Riana said.
“Take it, bring it here later I will eat” replied Nathan.
Riana exhaled, “Alright, I get you” She said then walked to the dining room to get her husband breakfast.
“Where's Nathan? Not awake yet?” Ask the mother-in-law when she sees Riana in the dining room.
“In the shower mom, she asked me to bring her breakfast to room” replied Riana.
Her tone sounded subtle, I don't know what made her mother-in-law so cynical about her.
“I put it on the table, quickly get up I told mom you were taking a bath” Riana said then left her husband to continue her work.
The clock kept passing but, Nathan was nowhere to be seen the stem of his nose. While Riana was still busy cleaning things without anyone to help.
If asked where did Nathan's in-laws go or Nathan's older cousin who had been there?
The answer is, Riana doesn't know. The house looked so quiet when he came out of his room after giving Nathan breakfast.
While enjoying cleaning the house, Riana instead got a shout from behind her.
“ASTAGA, WHY ISN'T EVERYTHING DONE LIKE THIS? WHAT HAS HE BEEN DOING SINCE THEN? MALES-MALESAN WHAT?”
It was her mother-in-law's voice, of course Riana was shocked. Maybe Nathan was surprised, as evidenced by the man coming out of the room while scratching his head confused, “What is this, why is it so noisy?”
“WHY? YOU DIDN'T SEE YOUR WIFE? THE JOB IS VERY CATTY IT TURNS OUT, IT'S LATE AFTERNOON BUT NOT FINISHED ALSO CLEANING THIS HOUSE, CIH USEFUL IS HE HERE?”
Riana exhaled, trying to be patient with her mother-in-law's words.
“Already ma'am, he may be tired” Nathan said.
“NO SON-IN-LAW IS THE SAME, USELESS!”
Her mother-in-law's nagging made Riana's ears hot. But, he could only exhale slowly.
“After all, why did you take so long to clean up a little like this?” Nathan said to his wife.
“What if you just take care of the rest of this?” Riana said, she was upset and tired, instead of being helped even in a corner by her own husband.
Nathan looked at Riana from top to bottom and left the woman alone.
Riana almost cried but, “Huh, Let's finish this and get some rest” muttered Riana then try as soon as possible to finish her work.
...***...
“What cooking?” Ask the mother-in-law.
“Kepiting Soka bu, typical food North Kalimatan” replied Riana, as someone who likes to walk with Ardian first, Riana learned a lot of cooking Indonesian specialties during a visit to places to eat.
“What food is it? Can't cook a mediocre one?” Ketus the mother-in-law.
Again Riana could only exhale while smiling.
“Mother just wait at the dining table, this will be done” soon Riana said, not wanting to prolong the problem.
the middle-aged woman left Riana alone in the kitchen.
Not long after, when the food was ready and Riana was cleaning the kitchen suddenly heard the voice of Nathan's older cousin coming with his mother.
“Megan, it's perfect for us to have dinner. Come here, let's eat together” Nathan's mom said.
Megy and her mother happily sat down with Nathan who was busy with his phone and also the father-in-law who read the newspaper while brewing the tea that Riana made earlier.
“Riana, come quickly. Why so long sih” Sahut mother-in-law. Riana immediately went to the dining table, fulfilling the call.
When eating and taking the side dish, it is beautiful because the artificial soka crab is not left. As a result, Riana just took her gravy and ate with fried tempeh, that alone was already so delicious.
The woman turned to Nathan but, the man looked indifferent.
“Other times if you cook do not cook expensive ingredients, if every day this way you will not have savings, after all this is not so good” said his mother-in-law.
“Yes, just cook it simple. Don't match here with at your house” Connect Megy.
“The famous friends of yours yesterday, give everything to your mother-in-law, remember you guys are here hitchhiking, let her finances be taken care of with your mother-in-law” Sahut mother Megy.
Riana frowned dislikefully, what kind of married life is she living right now? Nathan doesn't seem to care about that.
“I'll give it but, not all. However we are married, there are our personal needs that must be met” replied Riana.
“You will work, personal needs will take care of your personal money” Sahut mother-in-law.
“After marriage, my life was borne by my husband. My money is my money, my husband's money is my money. It's absolute and nature is like that” Riana said firmly.
“Cih, don't be a grown-up with your mouth. You know what you're about married life?” Megy.
The atmosphere at the dining table was slightly heated up.
“Already Riana, just give everything to mother” Nathan said giving way out.
Megy looks grinning, “One more, wife of course must obey her husband's words is not?” Her speech.
Again and again Riana was only able to exhale heavily, watching the people one by one leave the dining table. Now, only he and Nathan are still busy with the game.
“I want to talk, I will clean this first” Riana said cleaning the dining table.
