It had been three days since I went to college, until Yuni came to visit my house.
After she saw my husband's situation, she understood why I didn't go to college.
"You came here really wanting to see me or because of someone else's initiative?" I asked without further ado to Yuni.
I'm actually happy to be friends with him, because he's a very friendly person to everyone. His life flowed without feeling a burden.
"Honestly Za, in addition to wanting to see you, Mr. Roni also forced me to tell you to look at your situation." Answer Yuni.
I took a deep breath, and smiled at him.
"My situation is fine, my husband is not well at the moment, so my duty must be to alternate with him, pity my husband, if my children leave him in that state"
When the new Yuni comes Mas Jaya and the children are going out to my Mama-Martu house. Now she's just bringing Queen home, while longing to still be at Mama's house, playing with my sister-in-law's wulan and children.
"You're the same Mama, Papa wants to go inside first" Mas Jaya said to Queen and placed it on my lap.
The Queen directly leaned her small body against me. Seeing Yuni who was holding several Queen books started to make a sound.
"Tante, school mama's friend yes" Queen said with a smile.
Start Queen chattering, Yuni and I just laughed when they heard her words.
By the time Yuni took out two chocolate bars from her bag, and wanted to give it to Queen I had time to prevent it.
"Not that I don't appreciate your gift, but if it's from someone else, I can't take it" I said as I rubbed the Queen's Hair as she began to whine about taking chocolate from Yuni.
"It's from me Zahra, not from anyone, it was for me, but because seeing your son, I wanted to give him" Yani tried to convince me with her words.
I only took one of the two chocolate bars she gave me, telling Yuni, piece by piece the chocolate Yuni gave me to put the Queen's mouth, with the aim that she could sit a henchman.
By the time Yuni wanted to go home, I drove her all the way to the village road, where I was staying.
"I'm sorry Za, if my Om attitude is not good with you" he said when he wanted to ride ojeg.
I just nodded and gently rubbed his chest. After Yuni came home, I walked into my in-laws yard.
To get into my house, access only one way, must pass from Mama's house, because the location of my house, is in the backyard of his house near the plantation.
When I entered Mama's house, I took down the Queen I was carrying, and she ran in the middle room.
"Why are you here again?!" I heard the voice of Ayu's son rebuking Queen.
I who was still in the kitchen immediately went up above the house, because I heard the voice of Dinda who had been crying because of the actions of my son.
I immediately separated the Queen who was pulling her cousin's sister's hair strongly.
"Queensha! If you're still like this, Mama lock you up at home! Mama, don't you play around!" My voice rose slightly to my daughter, letting go of the grip of her hand that was still pulling Dinda's hair.
I heard Ayu Kak who started to call my son with words that I did not think were appropriate for a child the age of Queen.
Not wanting to wait long to hear my sister-in-law's words, I immediately carried the Queen, and invited Miss home.
"Mama, Queen naughty?" Asked the plain Queen at the time I walked towards the house.
I didn't answer Queen's question.
"Bude used to call Queen like that Ma" Miss started to make a sound because I was just silent.
Arriving at the terrace of the house, I immediately sat down, holding Queen and grabbed Miss's head while stroking her hair.
"Listen Mama yes, Mama's son is a good boy" I kissed Missing's head, and I kissed Queensha's face.
I held Queen's cheeks "You are only a creature of God entrusted to the test to the limits of adult patience" and then kissed Queensha's cute lips.
"From you will be brojol, until you are this big, you always test adults" while tickling Queen's stomach, and invite Miss to tickle her sister.
The queen who was feeling an appetite laughed giggling with the treatment of me and her sister.
Since it was already the afternoon, I took the two of them to take a bath. I opened one by one their clothes, I deliberately bathed them in the yard, to entertain both.
After both of them finished my bath, I gave them a drink of the juice I always asked them to make before they ate.
"You two play here with Auntie, Mama wants to take a shower" I walked into the room, and I didn't forget to lock my door.
Mas Jaya who was in the room, sitting near his desk, looking at me with a face that still holds a pang of annoyance immediately asked.
"Why you?" Mas Jaya asked while frowning her forehead.
"Mas, did Queen say she was naughty when she was at Mama's house, at the time of the gathering with her Sisters?" Ask slowly.
"Queen is a delinquent, often bothering others"
I who heard Mas Jaya's words immediately took a breath. I smiled bitterly at my husband's words.
"Thank you for your confession" I said and left her for the bathroom.
After taking a shower and wearing clothes, I went out of the room, approached the two of them playing. I noticed Queensha's behavior, sometimes she kissed Bi Ijah and Missed when both of them made her laugh.
My tears fell to see the Queen.
"Why are you crying, why else?" Mas Jaya asked quietly, as she sat next to me.
"I only noticed my daughter's innocent behavior, when others made her happy, she showed her affection" I left Mas Jaya, and headed to the kitchen, preparing meals for both.
I called the two, after preparing their meal. The Queen and Miss that I used to eat at the table, came soon. Missed pulling a chair for Queen to sit on, and after that she pulled a chair for herself.
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
After putting Queen and Miss to sleep, I looked at Queensha's face.
'You're Queen's good boy, Mama knows you're a loving child, you're just like Mama, never like what you've hurt other people, besides you look like your Papa, will avenge those who hurt you, ' said my heart.
"You blend our two natures, in addition to your own" I said softly and stroked Queensha's hair.
"Thank you Bi, willing to take care of Queen patiently" I hugged Bi Ijah who was about to enter the room at that time, then I left her to my room.
"Zahra, can we talk?!" Tanya Mas Jaya was waiting for me by sitting on the side of the bed.
I nodded my head and headed towards the terrace of the room, Mas Jaya followed my steps. Then I sat on the wooden chair, and I leaned against my body, on the porch.
"Zahra, if my pain is the reason you don't go to college, I'm honestly disappointed with you" Mas Jaya looked at me Sharply.
"It's good that you're talking about this, maybe my attitude is very selfish, but I have a reason for that, and I'm sorry your pain is not part of my reason" I said slowly.
"You want to quit college?"
For a moment I cast my gaze towards the vast plantation, then looked towards Mas Jaya.
"Yes" I answered.
"Love me for the reason"
"I want to educate my children, I am hurt when people and when you also justify that my child is a bad child" I said with a look at Mas Jaya.
"Queen was active, but he would never start hurting anyone else, if he wasn't hurt." I connected my words.
"Don't the Queen you make your excuse, I as her Papa don't accept you making my son the reason you quit like that!"
Kudekati Mas Jaya, I looked deeply into his eyes.
"You want me to have a reason for what? If you have a reason that makes more sense than my reason, I will gladly accept it, Mr. Heru!"
I left Mas Jaya, then I went in and laid myself on the bed.
"I've been patient enough with your attitude! You can't appreciate me, when I talk you always leave me!"
I heard Mas Jaya raise her tone, and slammed the door that connects between the room and the terrace.
I, who was lying down, got up from my position, stood near him.
"What do you want?"
" I'm not done talking to Zahra, I'm your husband, appreciate me!"
"Speak and get out of everything that causes your anger" I lowered my gaze, and sat on the edge of the bed.
" I want you to finish your college, don't make me and the kids the reason you're being idle like this" I saw Mas Jaya who started to step away from me.
But not until he was at the door, I immediately stopped his steps.
"You never realize that you are my role model and you set an example of not being able to appreciate you! Get you out of this room, I'll take the Queen forever away from you!"
"You're threatening me huh!"
"I know you don't accept, when there is an attitude of mine that disagrees with your family. Then you're looking for an excuse for us to fight, if I'm not the one defending Queen, then who?! While you're justifying other people's words that my daughter is a bad boy" Kutatap Mas Jaya almost hit me.
"If my daughter is what people say, let me take care of her, don't force me to leave her for a second"
"Zahra, understand that I'm sending you to college because I want to fulfill your mother's wishes" he said slowly.
"Tomorrow I will fulfill your wish, I will complete my education, but on one condition, divorce me!"
"You!" He held both of my cheeks with one hand.
"Let me focus on my education, I don't want to think about the feelings of a husband, and before my household is destroyed, then I better destroy first" I said on the sidelines crying.
"Even when we were married, you never hurt me physically like this, but today, you almost hit me, and now you're holding my cheek violently like this"
Hearing my words he immediately moved his hand away from my face.
"Mas, I'm sorry if I fought you, but understand, I can't hear anyone else talking badly about my daughter, if you can take out someone else to protect your family, then let me sacrifice my education for my family" This is the second time I have stood before him, and embraced his feet.
"Don't do it this way Zahra, get up." He said while pulling my hand.
"I'm sorry, I don't want us to fight"
Mas Jaya immediately lowered her body and hugged me, peeping at my forehead.
"Like you, I was also sick when our daughter was said to be bad by someone else, but I feel like we can get through this. I want to prove to people that, besides you succeeding in your education, you also managed to take care of our daughter" she said gently.
"Don't cry, don't be like this again, twice you've been fighting like this for our daughter Zahra, you've made me envy her" she said.
"I know you want to quit because your lecturer likes you, that's the real reason, but you don't want to tell me that"
"You fool, if I say that you can kill him, or you can keep me quiet for a long time, I already know enough to what if you're jealous" I hit his chest, and grabbed his shirt to wipe my tears.
I heard him laugh at my words. "You slob Zahra, your snot you put on my face"
"If you can swallow my saliva, the time is just snot that I put on your face you do not accept" I protested to him.
I was firmly embraced, repeatedly smothered by my lips.
