The Household Ark
Mirna Hosted

A week has passed. Shanti has been home from the hospital since three days ago.he was only treated for 3 days and has been allowed to go home.

A week has also forgotten his quarrel with Max and Rina. currently Shanti is sitting in the front seat looking towards the quiet warehouse because it is Sunday. there is no buying and selling there.

not long after a motorcycle stopped in the front yard, someone who pissed him off a week ago came here.

Mirna the rich widow came back here again on Sunday again, did she not know that today is a holiday there is no buying and selling.

Shanti is upset by herself for no reason.I don't know what makes her upset when she sees the woman.

"assalamualaikum mbak Shanti..."

Mira greets Shanti who seems to notice her but has not greeted her since arriving, even she sees Shanti who is surly.

"wassalamu'alaikum..."

Shanti replied with a bit of the chairman and did not want a presence there.

"how's mbak? is it healthy?"

"well as you see! I'm fine. !"

"thankfully, then, I'm happy that you're healthy."

"emmhhhh..!"'s search....!"

Shanti no longer answered. she just cleared her throat very reluctantly and indifferently.

"mas Ridho is there mbak? I have a little need?"

"no. mas Ridho again send Mira to the market!"

without further ado, Shanti answered tightly to the woman in front of her, she was more irritated that the flirtatious widow was using her husband again.!

"owh so. still not long ago mbak?"

"yes I do not know. his name is also a man who can be ascertained quickly what not! what else do you need to do with my husband? isn't the potato problem yesterday already solved the Joni?"

Shanti impatiently spoke at length on the mirna with an increasingly thin tone.

it certainly makes Mirna himself confused.why Shanti even angry at him. whereas as he remembered they were never hostile.

Mirna became increasingly uncomfortable with Shanti's attitude.since then she was still standing in front of the terrace did not dare to move.

let alone be told to enter the house that is even asked this and that in a ketus tone.

"then excuse me first mbak. later if mas Ridho has come home let me come again."

he immediately turned around stepping leaving Shanti without waiting for a response from her.

although Mirna is a little confused by Shanti's attitude but she also feels offended by Shanti's treatment which does not welcome her as a guest.

Mirna immediately approached her motorbike parked in the yard and prepared to leave, but before that a car entered the yard showed Ridho and Mira in it just returned from the market.

"thank God..."

muttered Mirna softly.she was grateful for not having to bother anymore to come looking for Ridho.

"has Mirna been since?"

Ridho greets Mirna while helping Mira drop groceries from the trunk of the car.

"just got here.just got to me."

"let's go in first!"

for a moment Mirna glanced at Shanti who did not care about them.she was helping Mira lift the groceries into the house.

"here alone is not good mas mbak Shanti."

"not good at what? it's normal even if the page is not nice to see people passing by later."

actually Mirna really wants to refuse to enter the house because she is still reluctant to Shanti's attitude since then.

but what's the power. came here to ask for money curated potatoes yesterday.if he received money from Ridho outside the house and looks other people even more uncomfortable for him.

"ayo is coming in! how is it even dumb? "

"uh.yeah mas Ridho."

finally he followed Ridho into the house.

"yes..."

how different Ridho and Shanti welcomed him. Ridho is friendly and polite to himself who is a guest.

while Shanti looked at him cynically like a person who was charged with debt only, but he was not a pan crisisist.

sucks indeed but well want how else.the name we need.

shortly Ridho came out carrying a ledger and some other items.

"the room is already half yes mbak who paid the same Joni.?"

"yes, this is the receipt of yesterday's payment."

Mirna handed a receipt in front of Ridho to be examined.

"oh yeah. I made this receipt yesterday. so the lack of this much is also yes mbak that I have not paid.?"

"yes, mas.!"

"this is the money, Mirna please count first."

Mirna immediately grabbed the black plastic containing the money given by Ridho.he just opened it for a moment to make sure the contents and closed it back.

"don't count me because I believe in the same as Ridho."

"it's pretty sure Mirna's a yes..."

Ridho was just trying to melt the atmosphere with a bit of a joke.

" oh yes mas it's cabbage so it's not in the harvest tomorrow?"

"yes, I'm mbak, but as usual, I pay half of it first."

"yes mas. it's okay. I understand kok. ya already tomorrow directly to the field ya mas."

"yes, tomorrow I go there."

"thank you, Ridho, if you'll excuse me."

"so you're in such a hurry, Miss Mirna?"

"yes, I haven't been over the subject yet..."

"owh. I'm sorry, Mirna's just idle."

"it's okay mas Ridho important money kok. heehee"

"haahaa mbak Mirna could have been. ya have been careful mbak!"

"yes, let me excuse you. Greetings to Shanti and the children."

"yes I'll tell you."

"salamaloret..."

"wassalamu'alaikum..."

after Mirna died from her home Ridho rushed into the house. her stomach has been very hungry since then but she had to endure because it was not good if her guests waited too long.

"what the hell is that widow coming back here again mas?"

"Religion!"

Ridho jumped to find his wife who suddenly appeared behind him like a ghost.

"why are you so surprised? the wife was not clear!"

"he took the cash-strapped potato payment yesterday deck..."

"had it paid off yesterday with Joni?"

"yet the deck, you know yourself usually also mas pay half first.just pay off on Saturday.but yesterday happened to be Mirna ya no home so she abil here earlier."

"if the same he just paid in full. don't have to go back and forth! not good to see the neighbors!"

Shanti is getting sewot only makes Ridho more confused.

'so how do you feel?' his murmur inwardly held back Shanti's strangeness.
