“Pay is not papa, sir. After all by holding and staring at the tiny face of Zahra, the fatigue that Bayu felt a little reduced,” said Bayu reply to words from Herman, Herman, because he had already seen that Aisyah looked uncomfortable because she heard the words from her father.
“Yes, it's up to you, Yu. The important thing is that you have reminded you not to be too forced to help your wife's duties at home. So that you will not be too tired. That factory worker like you, should get more rest. After all, you do not spoil your wife and child too often. Later even become a habit, and eventually will become lazy,” said Herman with a ketus and punch while occasionally glancing at Aisyah. The statement was indeed he showed to his son-in-law, and it made Aisyah even more sad.
Hearing the words of ketus from her husband, made Ambar immediately mediate. “Bapak, what the fuck, anyway? Kok, by the way. Yes, it is natural, sir, that Bayu always wants to carry Zahra. Wong Zahra is his son. Moreover, Zahra is also funny and adorable. If you don't have the flu, you always want to be near Zahra.”
“Halah, it's up to you, lah. What matters is that you have reminded.” After saying that, Herman left Ambar, Bayu, Aisha and Zahra, the little angels who were always the encouragement for all who loved him.
“Ais, sorry father yes, son. Dad, if you like that. I like not thinking. So don't get into the heart, yeah, what you said just now.” Ambar started to calm Aisyah down. She knew what her husband said just now must have been very painful for Aisha.
“Iya, Dek, you don't take offense because of what you said just now, yes. I know what Dad meant was good. You just don't want it if you're too tired.” Bayu also rubbed the back of Aisyah's hand which was on her side. He tried to make Aisyah's heart calm because he had heard stories from his coworkers while in the workshop, if his friend's wife had experienced baby blues after giving birth due to erratic mood.
Aisyah who got system support from Ambar and Bayu just nodded and smiled bitterly. He is still confused what kind of response to Bayu and Ambar. What Aisyah felt at this moment was only a deep pain at Herman's words just now.

The day changed so quickly, without feeling a month had passed. Today has entered the twenty-fifth date, which indicates that this is payday time at the spare parts factory where Bayu works.
Today Bayu was on the first shift, so Bayu entered work at seven in the morning and returned at four in the afternoon. Now Bayu is busy eating his lunch with two friends he just knew for one month.
“Why are you, Rif? From there, HP continued. Your girlfriend can't be reached?” asked Bayu accompanied by his kekehanya, because he knew that Arif is a boyfriend who always asks his partner.
“Bay, you forgot that today is the twenty-fiveth, which means today we payday,”, said Arif production staff who works with Bayu.
“Makanya from earlier I wait for the notification m-banking. I want my girlfriend to walk. Kan, let me take my first salary,” continued Arif again.
“Bang, that first salary should be for yourself or for family. This is even for a girlfriend. I'm dong, Bang. The first salary I want me to be a DP motor, so tomorrow-tomorrow there are girls who are hooked with me,” said Eko one of Bayu's friends who eat with them.
“Lah, you don't have Eko's girlfriend yet, so you buy a motorbike, so you can be together, right, you? Same with me. I have a motor. I'm here also overseas, which I have just a girlfriend doang. Naturally, dong, if I choose my girlfriend,” said Arif who does not want to lose.
“If you, Bay, your first salary would do what?” tanya Arif turned to Bayu.
“My first salary, want to make the needs of my newborn son two months ago, Rif,” replied Bayu with a smile and taken by his two friends.
“Well, this is the new so-called first salary for the family,” explained Eko who was given a thumbs up by Arif.
When taking money at the ATM in the factory area, Bayu promised in his heart, if he came home later he would bring his family a box of sweet martabak and martabak eggs special. He also intends to buy his daughter a rattling toy that can rotate to improve motor skills in Zahra.
Arriving at home, Bayu parked his motorbike. Bayu immediately washed his feet and put his work shoes on the shoe rack on the porch of the house. After arriving at the door Bayu was quick to give greetings.
“Assalamualaikum,” said Bayu gave his greetings then began to enter the house.
“Waalaaikumusalam,” answer all residents of the house simultaneously.
“Wah, Mas Bayu bring what?” erina asked with enthusiasm and immediately grabbed the luggage of Bayu, then opened it.
"Wood bring sweet martabak and egg martabak. His special debut again, Bu.” Erina bright with a big smile. Bayu just silence while shaking his head.
“Why do you buy so much food, son?” ask Ambar to Bayu.
“Alhamdulillah, today Bayu Payjian, Mom. Bayu wants mother, Father, and Erina can feel the first salary Bayu,” replied Bayu.
Hearing that Bayu had paid, making Erina who was opening the food crackle brought by Bayu was approaching.
“Mas Bayu already paid?” erina asked with a twinkle in her eyes.
“Iya, Rin, mas already payday. Hence mas can buy this much food,” point Bayu at the food in front of him.
“Wah, if so Erina can ask for rations, dong, make buy new clothes? Kan, the salary of Mas Bayu who is now much bigger,” Erina pinta while raising both hands in front of Bayu.
“Lain times, yes, Rin. Now the needs of the mas are much more than before,” replied Bayu.
“Kok that, anyway, Mas? Zahra just bought me a toy. Tima Erin asked to buy clothes not bought.” Point Erina at the toy Bayu bought for Zahra. Erina is jealous because Bayu prioritizes Zahra over her.
“Bukannya mas do not want to buy you clothes, Rin, but the salary money Mas who is now only enough to pay the debt of birth costs Ma'am Aisyah. Yesterday when Mbak Aisyah gave birth to mas have no savings at all, therefore the mas borrowed money belonging to Diana, sister of Mbak Aisyah,” explained Bayu at length, so that the money belongs to Diana, sister of Mbak Aisyah, which made Erina grow annoyed.
