MINUS ATTITUDE

Just as Arista finished her cake, her mother-in-law and her two daughters came home. Arista narrowed her eyes when she saw the twins were still wearing school uniforms.

"Mom, didn't they change clothes earlier? You didn't bring them a change of clothes?" asked Arista. Deswita immediately widened her eyes,

"Hey, you, you should have prepared their clothes first. Wasn't you who insisted on meeting your mother?! Until you left in a hurry. So I was forced to take Ujang. It should have been, you First take me to pick up your children, then you take them to Karla's house! Here, your in-law hasn't left yet, she has already left. You can never make me happy!"

For a moment Arista gaped at her mother-in-law. "Mom, I already offered to take you this afternoon. But, it was you who refused. You said it was more comfortable with Ujang," said Arista gently.

"Because of you, I became the object of reproach at the social gathering. Susi was accompanied by her daughter-in-law. In fact, her daughter-in-law came to the end. Have you ever wanted to join my friends! Can't take my heart. Calista asked me to keep going home because She wanted to meet your mother. Finally, I had to go home using an online taxi because I asked Ujang to pick me up at 4 pm."

"Loh, why didn't you call Riris, ma'am?"

Deswita grew emotional, she pushed Arista's forehead with her index finger. "You see that cellphone, how many missed calls are there?!"

"There is a landline, ma'am, if my cellphone is not answered. You know, when I'm cooking, I never bring my cellphone into the kitchen." Arista is still trying to be patient. However, Deswita waved her hand in annoyance. "Halaah, never mind I'm lazy! You always have an answer!"

Arista couldn't help but take a deep breath. For some reason, Deswita is always rude and annoying to her. It doesn't matter if she is right, she is always wrong in Deswita's eyes. Arista sighed and looked at the back of Her Mother-in-law who stepped out of the kitchen. She turned to Elena and Calista, who had been silent since then, watching their mother being scolded.

"Have you eaten?" asked Arista.

"Earlier, at grandma Karla's house we only ate cake, mommy. After all the spicy food was finished, then grandma said we shouldn't be spoiled. So we just ate cake. That was when Calista said she wanted to meet grandma Hera. Even though Calista was just hungry, mommy. Sorry, finally grandma is angry with Mommy" said Calista. Arista smiled gently then approached her twin daughters.

"Okay, now what do you want to eat?" asked Arista.

"Just fried chicken, Mommy, so it won't take long. Calista is really hungry," said Calista.

"Well, while Mommy is making fried chicken, you guys first change into your uniform."

The twins nodded and quickly walked to their room. Arista immediately prepared food for her two daughters deftly. While frying chicken, Mira came with the groceries Arista ordered.

"Aruga and Damian are still in the living room?" asked Arista. Mira nodded, "Yes, ma'am."

"You tidy up all the groceries. Then, you prepare the ingredients for making capcay and also remove the shrimp from the freezer. I want to go ahead first. Here, fried chicken for Elena and Calista. Bring it to the dinner table."

"Ok, ma'am."

Arista took off the apron, and stepped into the twins' room to call them to eat. After that, she stepped into the living room. Damian was unusual - usually at home during the day. Even without telling Arista first.

"I was just about to call you, Aruga and I went first. We wanted to go to the location for the construction of a new subsidized housing in Sukabumi. So, I might come home late at night. You and your mother and children have dinner first. I eat the most on the road. I don't bring my car. Use Aruga's car, Ujang comes along. You're all right at home, "said Damian. Arista nodded, She knows the housing development plan in the Sukabumi area. Damian had told her. But, as usual he never told in detail. If Arista asks, he will only answer, "The important thing is that your ATM contents are not lacking, I pay for your credit card and the needs of this house are also fulfilled."

Aruga and Damian waved at her. She just waved her hands back then closed the door and went into the dining room to see Calista and Elena. Her two daughters seemed to eat voraciously. Seeing this Arista felt very happy.

"Mommy, daddy won't have dinner with us tonight? Can we just order delivery, I'm sorry Mommy is cooking. I want other food too. Maybe pizza, mom," said Dominic, who had just joined his two younger siblings. on the dining table.

"Yes, your children are right. I'm tired of eating home cooked food. Just order pizza, I want spaghetti and garlic bread too. You haven't cooked it yet, have you?" Deswita, who had just left the room, joined in the conversation.

"Okay, then I'll just order pizza for dinner," Arista answered. She rushed into the kitchen to tell Mira that she wasn't going to cook dinner.

Luckily, Mira just took the vegetables out of the fridge when Arista came to the kitchen.

"Mir, you don't have to prepare vegetables. Mom and the kids want pizza for dinner. They're tired of home-cooked food. Just put the vegetables in again. You just rub the clothes there. Please wash the twins' uniforms. I want to rest for a while," Arista said.

"Fine, ma'am."

"You are happy if Damian comes home late, then the kids want to order delivery. Your task will be reduced. Today's daughter-in-law wants to have a good time. There is already a maid, just lazy to cook. What's the job? You know, I used to take care of the children, husband, the house never used a maid. All I do by myself. You, if there is no maid, everything is slow to work," squeaked Deswita while taking juice from the refrigerator. Arista frowned at her. Recently, it was the mother who joined in with the children's ideas. Why must she again be wrong? Arista just kept quiet and didn't respond to her mother-in-law's words.

Arista couldn't help but take a deep breath, while Mira, who saw all of this, smiled faintly as she went up to the children's room to get the laundry. Luckily Arista didn't see the sly smile on Mira's face. Arista immediately left and entered her room. Only in her room, she can feel a little calm from the chatter of her in-laws who have no morals.
