chapter 26 Messy kitchen

Man, why does the house look so messy? Were there guests coming?" Fen was a little surprised to see the state of her family room was very messy. She had just returned from shopping and was tired enough to clean it up again.

Sigh? Of course! Fen sometimes complains when her body is tired, coupled with her two toddlers who are quite fussy when she just sets foot in front of the terrace of the house. But by looking at her children, her tiredness had turned beautiful because she saw the joy from all of them. That's what Fen experienced today.

While David was engrossed in his smartphone in his hand without wanting to answer his wife's questions at all. This really annoys him.

At that moment, the mother of five children held Bertrand with one hand, and the other hand was used to carry a grocery bag that looked quite heavy. Fen led him to the kitchen.

"Sis Fen? Thank goodness you're home. Incidentally, today we are hungry, so we only cooked rice and instant noodles.

Surely in that bag there are side dishes or anything that can be eaten, right? Then let me just take it to the kitchen. Poor thing, it's been hard to carry groceries from the market to the house."

Era snatched it directly from her brother-in-law's hands without prior approval. Fen is quite upset. Why is he here? Who told him to enter here without permission? And it…

Argh! Unlucky! Why didn't Mas David tell me about his sister-in-law coming here? This really pisses me off.

Eyes stared intently at the figure of brother-in-law, who continued towards the kitchen. Fen followed behind. However, the state of the kitchen…

Oh? no! This is really messed up! Fen immediately panicked, seeing it all.

All the kitchen equipment that had just been left together for a while was messy everywhere. Many plates scattered on the dirty floor. "This… Is there this? Why is my kitchen in such a mess?" Fen could not bear to see it.

Her sister-in-law's face looked flat, as if there were no guilt. He kept smiling, regardless of the annoyance his brother-in-law was feeling right now. At the same time, Bertrand cried while struggling to return to suckling on his mother.

Era, who was still unpacking Fen's groceries, didn't hesitate to eat the food and snacks she bought specifically for her child's breakfast every morning. "Fera. Why are you going so far? Do you still have brains and thoughts? You know, I buy those sausages to stock my children every time they go to school." The jar in Era's hand was snatched away from the hands of the selfless sister-in-law."Sis Fen!" Her sister-in-law screamed while looking at Fen with a sharp gaze. "Don't you have a little consideration for me? You yourself know that I'm currently pregnant. You should be the sister-in-law who makes the food and whatever I want, you always provide in this house."

Fen smiled crookedly. "You? I have to prepare all of that for you? Era, do you remember that I also have children that I have to meet their every need? Then, don't you remember that I gave birth to Bertrand, who until now I also raised him and, of course, he also requires food intake other as additional food to accompany her breast milk. You should be aware of yourself, I'm not your husband or your parents. You should be happy because recently, I let you come here to borrow money and ask about the stock of rice for your staple food. Just in case, your husband just got out of jail, so he can't do anything to earn money for your little family. Remember, you're about to give birth soon. All of that needs Era's money."

Uhukk… uhukk... um... Someone's footsteps were heard and they started to get closer while coughing. And that made Feni stop and wonder about the owner of the voice.

"Master David!" Suddenly Fera was spoiled by her sister with a deliberately pitiful expression on her face so that those who saw her would feel sorry for her.

"What's all this fuss in the kitchen?" As usual David raised his eyebrows until they were slightly raised.

Feni wanted to answer, but unfortunately Fera was too quick to do it in a tone that was made up to make it look like someone who had been bullied. "Your wife is too fierce, bro, cooks only those little snacks. She yells at me like that. Even though the price is not much, if only my husband is still working, he can also buy me whatever I want. He should feel sorry for me and my husband. Please tell me your wife is mas, so don't be too stingy to be someone."

Feni widened her eyes when she heard her sister-in-law's statement. "That..." Feni couldn't continue her words when David patted the table and grabbed the jar that was in Feni's hand. David immediately gave it to his sister.

Fera is happy because her brother is special. It was as if he felt that he had won from Feni, who has the status of being his own wife.

"Mas! Are you crazy? Don't remember your children anymore? I bought it for them and for you too, mas." Feni felt crazy about it.

David looked at his wife and took her hand until she left and headed for the living room. "Honey, just let Fera stay here for a while. Her husband isn't working either. Besides, she's also pregnant and will soon give birth. We also have to be responsible for the expenses for her."

What? There's no way I would agree to that. That's not gonna happen! Should not!

Feni clenched her fists and dared to reject her husband's decision. "But bro, that's your brother. Still, I live here only as brother-in-law and son-in-law for your family. So you weren't the one who felt the pain when you gave birth to Betrand first. Not you. Even though you were sick at that time, they all paid special attention to to yourself. Meanwhile, I, the children..." If you remember that, Feni closes her eyes again while rubbing her chest to stay patient.

David let out a long sigh. "I know and even remember, even you were traumatized by returning to your hometown. I also really remember. But please, help me condition this situation dear. This is also a request from Fera's father and mother."

David really defended him? This hurts so much. This really disappointed me.

"I don't want to break your family ties at all, bro. I also want you to fight with all your relatives who are related to you. Even yesterday, your sister came here to learn to be a writer who writes story scripts also on platforms and online sites. You know, I taught him even just a little. But what did your sister do yesterday, she didn't even care when I explained every word I said. Is that still lacking? I know it's still far less good than me. But my mouth is tired to make class for her up to an hour talking just for that."

At that time from the front of the house came the sound of a motorbike stopping in front of the house. Someone wearing a hat just got out of the car, all eyes turned towards that person. "Mas André!" Suddenly Fera cheered and ran towards her husband who had just arrived.

He eavesdropped? That is for sure. Surely, he heard everything Fen said. But, it seems like he looks happy without the slightest burden. Yes, that's Era. Humans who live as if without fault. Even though every step she takes, Femi, as her sister-in-law, is always deterred when she sees herself coming and entering their house.

Ugh! This really makes it more stressful. And Fen, it's true to keep it to herself without wanting to discuss it with other people, especially with her neighbors too.

His figure also doesn't really think about friends in the surrounding environment, he's just busy struggling with his hallucinations in writing stories to become a book or online novel.

Era stepped steadily into the terrace room without caring about what was around her. Crack…! What sound is that?
