" Marni .... Where is my allowance today ? " shouted Agus , her husband Marni from the direction of the house . Every morning, it's my routine to sell soup at the stall in my yard.
"Well, it's still early, soup has only just sold a little bit, what's the wait! Besides, it's really late at this time, I'm already awake."
"How long will I have the patience to have a wife who sells soup? Face mediocre, body smells of oil, little income."
"Here, Marni just got this." the portion is valued at 15,000 rupiah, it's complete with rice, if you add 1 boiled egg, the price will be 18,000 rupiah.
" Just give me this kind of money . I have to make a long speech first . Where is your brain stored , Marni ? You sell more , don't just eat soup every day ... " he grumbled with tears in his eyes .
"Your brain is deadlocked, you have no ideas about your life."
"Don't forget black coffee.
Damn, just making coffee has to be reminded, you don't really have enough initiative to be a wife." He said as he walked away.
I sighed heavily, it's not without reason that I still survive with this kind of household.
The beginning of my household with Agus was heartbreaking, I, who in fact was the eldest child and only daughter, had to be willing to sell my father to Agus to cover my gambling losing debt. 4.2 million father's debt at that time, Agus threatened to kill my father if he didn't pay off immediately.
Meanwhile, where do you get that much money from, your only job every day is cockfighting gambling. Finally, Agus asked my father to marry me as a condition for being released from debt bondage. Well, his daughter is only worth 4.2 million. Don't ask where my mother is, mother voluntarily handed me over to Agus, Agus's house is big, he said.
Only with the big house left by her parents, are you sure that Agus can be a good leader for her daughter?
" This is the soup . "
Not wanting to linger around this shrewd husband , I immediately rushed back to the shop . " Marni , please 3 soup . " Greeted Mrs. Irma .
" Ready ma 'am . "
I am also excited to serve Mrs. Irma , my loyal customer , her house is only 2 houses from here . As a factory worker Mrs Irma's is used to buying breakfast at my soto stall.
"Actually, I was already here, but back again. I'm lazy to hear your husband's loud voice. Besides, it's really annoying that people are awake at this hour Mar."
I can only grin whenever someone talks about Agus. The negative behavior is really hard to cover up, without me having to complain to the people around me who already know.
"This is Ma'am, so it's 45 thousand."
"Yes, the money is just right, thank you Mar, let me excuse you." Mrs. Irma walked away waving her hand.
" Mar , do you still have the soup ? "
" Uh miss Yuyun , Miss Yani .. there is ma'am , there are more . " finally there was the next customer .
" I have 2 packs of Mar , " said Bu Yuyun .
" I am the only one Mar , there is no one else at home . " Mrs. Yani replied .
" Ready , ladies and gentlemen , wait a moment , OK . " I said with great enthusiasm .
"Eh Mar, do you know that yesterday I accidentally saw your husband and your father buying fighting cocks in the city that looked expensive Mar." Said Mrs. Yuyun.
"Does Mrs. Yuyun know that chicken is expensive? It's Mar's husband's job to ask his wife for money, where do you have a lot of money to buy expensive chicken?" Mrs Yani insulted.
"You know, the chicken looks handsome, dashing like that. My husband used to be Agus's friend
cockfight, fortunately already repent first. Is it possible that Agus will win the cockfighting gamble at Mar , so he can buy expensive chickens. "
" Yes , maybe Mrs. Yuyun . "
I replied casually, actually I don't care whether Agus buys a chicken or even a lion, after all, during his household he has never provided a living." Was Mrs. Yuyun going to town yesterday?" Asked Mrs. Yani .
" Yes , it 's normal ... If I want to sell gold , my eldest son has to pay this month semiannually . " Mrs. Yuyun explained.
" Okay Mar , here is the soup money . We both said goodbye first. "
" Yes , thank you ladies , you often stop by to buy soup here , OK . " I said while waving my hand .
" Mar ... . " My husband Agus suddenly appeared like a jelangkung .
" Was it surprising ? "
" For Mar 's money , I saw someone had already bought the soup ."
"This is capital money, Marni has to turn it around so that she can give you snacks every day."
It's really annoying, you can't have more money than selling, you're being asked to do this every day. your man, if you are stingy I will not hesitate to destroy your run-down stall.
" He threatened. " Just destroy it , Mar instead thank you , so tomorrow you can no longer ask Mar to give you food and snacks , after all Mar doesn't have any income . "
" You can't do that Mar , I don't remember you have this big house who? Forget you, your Soto stall is standing on whose land? "
Agus's shout, her husband, was like a football supporter..noisy.
"Mar remember, this is your gedong house, Mar's soto shop is standing on your land. But as a wife, it's normal for Mar to live here, it's normal for Mar to sell on your land, what's not natural is that you take Mar's money every day . "
I have removed all the worries, it's up to Agus what to do, it feels like I'm lost
control every time you argue with this motherfucker's husband.
"Just fight against your work Marni, I'm just getting married again and then I know how you feel."
"You want to marry again? Go ahead, let Marni have someone to help feed you." you already.. "After all, yesterday you just won a gamble? Where's the money? After that, you bought a new chicken? You should have left a little for your lunch for a few days, Mar also wants to feel like a holiday, so give you snacks a day or two days."
" Where do you know Mar? ...."
"Do you want to remarry? Go ahead, let Marni have someone to help feed you."
He thought that I was Marni, a slave to love, OK? ? I used it to buy a new chicken? I should have left some for you to snack on for a few days, Mar also wants to feel like a holiday so I can give you snacks for a day or two." Soup without paying attention to Agus' screams again. Anyway, today's quota is 30 thousand rupiah. It didn't matter that the rain of lightning came to strike the old bandot, I didn't want to be constantly being bullied like this.
It's good, every day I am required to work hard to find pocket money, when it's time for him to have his own money, he doesn't even remember sharing it with the people at home.
" Mar , I will go first ." Suddenly Agus was standing in front of the stall , oh my gosh Agus how come you are like a ghost coming all of a sudden .
" Yes . " I answered briefly , I really do not care where Agus is going , just leaving the house feels like getting a windfall , it feels as relieved as the desert is exposed to rain .
"Oh yeah Mar, next time you don't have to wear events to follow me all over. It's a waste of time, you know? It's better for you to stay at home looking for ideas so you can get money quickly so that your beloved husband doesn't run to glance at other girls."
Oh, Agus, it's up to you already ..
"Marni Marni, you really love me to death, even though I'm old, even almost the same age as your father but you still love me." Agus chuckled.
" You 're going to be late . "
I deliberately waved my hand like a shooing motion . Agus, I'm not strong.
"Okay , Marni is my beautiful wife even though it smells of oil and soup . I love you darling ... "
He said as he walked away .
***
Finally, my soup sold out, it's a bit late today, usually at 10 am my soup is sold out, but today at 11 o'clock. But I'm still grateful.
Agus's house is indeed strategic, more or less profitable for my soto shop.
Actually I was thinking about selling other things too, it's a shame if this strategic place is not put to maximum use. But after thinking carefully about Agus' convenience, he is the lucky one and I am the lucky one.
Drttt drtttt....
My cell phone vibrates indicating incoming call.
An old mobile phone that Agus gave at the beginning of our marriage, he said, the cellphone was expensive because it was used by a senior artist who won an Citra award. I don't know which artist Agus is referring to, I don't care, the important thing is that this cellphone is still quite useful for customers who want to order soup.
" Hello ... " " [ Sis Mar , are you healthy ? ]
" Healthy Thank God Di , "
" [ Ardi is on the way to go there , Sis Mar isn't busy right ? Ardi all want to eat soup, I miss the soup made by Sis Mar. ]
" Sorry Di , the soup is sold out . You came here not early , you sell it for breakfast , " I said a little uncomfortable .
" [ Oh , it 's okay sis , Ardi is still there . Wait a moment , sis . ] "
" Yes Di . " I turned off the phone .
Ardi is the son of Agus, my husband and his previous wife, his name is Sis Indri. Yes Ardi ... Agus and Indri , romantic right ? Ardi is almost the same age as me, 2 or 3 years apart at most. Ardi is their only child . Is Sis Indri's reason for being economical in terms of reproduction the same as your mother's? Because his son is a gambler and lacks money. How do I know ...
" sis woy ... what are you daydreaming about ?
" I don't know when Ardi came , suddenly he was perched in front of the soup stall .
I really haven't had time to go home yet,
I feel tired, I want to rest while daydreaming for a while.
" I 'm daydreaming about getting a suitcase of money . " I answered casually .
"Sis, make me a drink first, OK?" I said
while starting to move.
"No need sis, ya stomach is already bloated." While pointing at his flat stomach.
" Yes if you do not want . " I slumped again to its original position .
"Sis, here ..." Ardi held out some red bills that made my eyes bulge instantly.
" You don't have to Di, it's been a few months since you gave my sister money. Just use it for your needs. After all, my sister also sells, she can still earn her own money." I refused politely.
"Let's just say Ardi is entrusting you for a walk, father."
"But mostly Di, your father has never been more than 50 thousand a day, in fact, earlier brother only gave 30 thousand. Usually he is strong until evening, if brother is lucky, your father usually takes 2 days just got home. Hehehe "
I feel funny with my own words,I'm that lucky if I don't see the face of that bastard husband for one day. There is no scene of a wife sulking because she doesn't want to live in my household. Whether Ardi is offended or not.
I don't care, I don't want to make drama on top of this crazy household drama.
"Yes, it's okay sis, really the needs of this house are only for snacks, father? For groceries, paying for electricity, or just for snacks, brother Mar can do that too." I say sincerely.
" You're welcome sis , I hope that this small amount of money can lighten your burden a bit taking care of your idol . Hehehe , " he chuckled .
" Aren't you going to call Mama Di ? " I asked seductively .
" No , it 's embarrassing ... You have a mother at this age , what will the world say ? Hahahaha . " Ardi came here several times to buy soup , indeed That rich kid is more comfortable introducing me as his older brother.
" The world says it's okay . Hahaha . "
My husband 's son Agus is very different from his father . In addition to the contents of the bag , appearance , demeanor , also a sense of humor . Don't ask how my husband's sense of humor is, don't even laugh together, every day there's only insults and insults that become our household's faithful soundtrack.
" No signs yet sis ? " he asked getting serious .
" What sign ? " I even curious .
" New brother . Or did you deliberately delay ? "
" No Di , your father said your brother was infertile . So you can not have children . " I replied casually .
"Have you checked?"
you have already proven you belong.
" You can't be so pessimistic sis, if you have time, it's better to check. "
" I do not know Di , for now rich children are not a priority . " What happens if I have a child while Agus is still fond of gambling like this . Those who are there will feel sorry for my son .
" Sis , do you want me to work together or not ? "
" What kind of work ? .... "
" Sis , do you want me to work together ?"
" What do you do ? .... "
***
" Making YouTube videos , you know I am a YouTuber . "
" What a joke , something like that has to be beautiful , attractive , clever at speaking . You can not do that . "
Ardi once told me that he is indeed a YouTuber ,
I have even seen some equipment for creating content that always sits nicely in his car .
The money that has been deposited to me for the past few months is also said to be part of his salary from YouTube.
I don't feel confident and it's not my ninja way .
***
Knock tock.. tok.. tok..
" Marni ...... Marni ... "
Agus 's scream boomed like the sound of thunder.
" Marni ... Marni open the door . You are stupid . Do you like soto soup ? "
Compared to sweet and romantic words , swearing like this is what I often hear .
I glanced at the clock that was perched luxuriously on the wall, it was only 7 pm.
I reduced the money for the snacks, it's worth going home quickly. I'm starting to feel bad, fortunately I have kept the money that Ardi gave me in a safe place.
"Yes my husband for a moment......"
"Can not hear you ? Quickly open the door !!! "
Still scolding with a pitch of 100 octaves . My God ....
" Yes ... you are very talkative. "
I feel really lazy to open this door.
" What took you so long ? " asked Agus when my door opened .
" If you know that your husband moves quickly, don't let you slow down. I have a wife who is dizzy with minus behavior like you. I have high blood pressure for a long time."
"Take medicine if you have a headache, if you need insect repellent."
At this time, we are really busy preparing soup for sale tomorrow morning. As a wonder woman who doesn't get love, money and affection, it shouldn't be lying down in my daily routine.
"Want me to die you quickly? Don't expect it, Mar, I still feel comfortable living."
For some reason, his voice wasn't as jarring as it was when he first came, really scared die time, brat.
" Coffee coffee Mar. " He continued .
" Yes .... "
" Mar , you already know that I bought a new chicken ? " He said with a grin .
It's easy for your mood to change.
"Is it okay if I keep it in this house, Mar? I'll keep it big at your father's house, when my rooster, who is handsome and handsome, is kept in an ugly cage. The rules are to move it to the cage used by your father's chicken. Swap it out, I mean, my chicken is cool. "
" The rule is that when you hitchhike, you know yourself, thank God you want to accommodate me, feed and clean the chickens every day."
I grumbled no less annoyed.
" If I keep it here is it okay Mar ? " he asked me . Must have been a traumatized bandot, I used to cook fighting cocks as opor. Not without reason,At that time, Agus was looking for all the products from the Soto trade, and he couldn't go shopping in the dark. Hahaha If I remember it, it's actually horrifying too, Agus blindly tortured me without mercy. Luckily, the neighbors immediately came when they heard me screaming in pain.
" Well , if Mar is okay , you know that Mar sells soto ? Every day Mar needs chicken . "
I said , grinning Joker style .
"You're crazy, Mar."
Hahaha, this gedong house is what the grumpy Agus is always proud of when seducing or swearing at him for snacks. I don't want Gus to have to share even with a chicken.
***
This morning I started doing the main task. Preparing to open a soto stall don't oversleep. Because this soto stall concept is for breakfast, so every morning I hunt with time to make my shop more advanced. Hobah!!!
" Mar , 8 packs of soup ... "
Alhamdulillah first customer .
" Thank God Bu Yuyun wholesale. "
I said excitedly .
" Yes Mar , there happens to be a distant relative." " Often Bu Yun invites his distant relative to stop by , hehe ."
" Here 8 packs , ma 'am , thank you ma'am . "
Mrs Yuyun also gave the exact amount of money and then said goodbye .
"Mar, regular soup 3..."
The next customer is a loyal customer
every morning, Miss Irma. Enthusiasm flared again every time someone bought my soup .
Life is really this simple. I will feel happy and full of energy when I see people coming to buy soup. " Ready ma 'am . "
Sometimes I wonder why Mrs. Irma buys soto every morning , are you not bored ? I, who sell it, sometimes prefer boiled cassava for breakfast instead of having to eat soup, I'm so bored. I once asked on a whim , he said my soup is good , besides that it has meat and vegetables in it , perfect for breakfast .
" Mar , "
Suddenly Agus had landed on the wall of the soto shop . Oh my God, it's just like a gecko.
" Give money . " He said lightly . I really have no shame even though there is Mrs. Irma in the shop, my God....
"Here.."
I handed him a 50,000 banknote.
" While looking for breakfast outside . "
It 's okay if I give you a bit more money , after all it 's money from his son .
" 50.000 and breakfast at the same time ? Are you really stingy . Add another 20 thousand , and then I will look for breakfast outside . "
Oh , this is a person who is being treated better , but instead .
" Here , "
I said while holding out a green bill .
" It's amazing that you really give me money so easily, I suspect you are me. Why are you today? Stuck or stuck? " Oh my gosh, what do you want? "Mar there is more sustenance, go out already there."
Mar is selling, it's not as good as those who bought it. I glanced at Mrs. Irma .
" Just giving you this much money has the courage to kick me out , you .. "
Wow , Agus has relapsed .
" Yes , I 've returned the money , you don't have to go anywhere . Later, Mar will give you soup for breakfast. " Usually if you are threatened like this , Agus will be afraid .
" It 's good that I want to ask for more money , are you not afraid of your curses ? Your parents say your ears will turn upside down."
Leave it to you, Gus, what do you want to go back and forth, just take the 70 thousand. I still have millions from your child. Hahahaha Finally, voluntarily, even while criticizing Agus, went away... Hus hus far Gus.
" Sorry Mrs. Irma is taking so long .. "
" It 's okay Mar , it's still early . Mar , you don't wonder why Agus has been leaving all morning lately ? " He said yesterday someone caught Agus meeting with Indri .... "
" Hah?? .... "
