When Passion Is Greater Than Lust
Hope

Tonight is not as usual. He asked us to gather in the family room. He said there was something important to talk about.

Although curious, but I suspect if this is related to the wishes of the father yesterday . Who decided to retire early.

" You gathered you here to say, if you have applied for retirement. And next month you will completely quit your job, choose to accompany Mom take care of the coffee garden and also the rubber garden. Great, you are the father's son, even though you are still very young. But I want you to witness this, as a witness. You will give Siti and Dadang money of 30 million. This money will be used to build your brother and sister's house, "

He put all his eyes on the five of us,

" Gather you here, because you want to be witnesses and should not bring up this money in the future , especially if the relationship mbak and your brother. It's not going well.."

" You want our children to separate, good in Siti dong Pak. After waking up the house. Separate, will definitely get the part.."

Mother cut the words of the Father.There is sadness in the heart because of the unreasonable words that the mother threw.

" That's why this is useful. I avoided saying anything weightless like what Mom just said. His own mother wanted, our daughter, to serve so sincerely and when separated was not even considered to contribute, just because the father helped the money so much.."

I understand, If you want to protect my rights, and also my children.

" Partially, if calculated, Siti and Dadang are more than that helping us educate children.."

" That's still Dadang's job sir, so it's only natural. ."

" What is normal, huh ? Our child is our responsibility, if we want to help, but not approved by Siti, then what can we say ? Indeed the filial son is still entirely with the mother, as the mother. But Dadang can not dzolim to the wife just because, want to make us happy, as his parents.."

" Great sir, God willing, the mandate of the Father will be held, and will not discuss this again until anytime.." Great sage speech stopped the debate between Mother and Father. indeed Among the four sons of the father, you could say the figure of the Supreme who fully has a wise nature like the father.

Although his age is fairly young, but his thinking is very mature and calculating.

" All right so everyone agrees, right? hafiz and Indra have also agreed and supported 'everything that you said before you.."

Now you look towards bang Dadang " So when Dang, you want to start the construction..?"

" God willing as soon as possible Sir, You see Siti was also able to arisan, and the plan will be used for the cost of the handyman.."

I answered my father's question, although it looks disrespectful, but the mother's remark made me sure to immediately do the construction to quickly move to my own home.

People say, if you already have your own dwelling, our hearts will feel peaceful and serene..

" Oh good then, I pray that all preparations are made.."

" Amijin.."

we said in unison, just the mother who was silent, without spirit. Is my father-in-law still thinking about the 30 million money promised by you?

Should I refuse for the sake of keeping my mother's feelings .

****

Although the original intention of building our house will be done after the coffee harvest, but when I said what my mother told me to bang Dadang, my husband finally could understand. Apparently he also observed when Nesti was here, it was clear that my mother treated me very differently from her PNS son-in-law. .

" Yes bang, but I'd better come along. I'm good at negotiating. hehheh"

" No need, later ember wake up and nyariin you. anyways we want to use the services he made to build a deck house, it is not good if too strangling the neck of his exchange even though close family though, not good, we're uncomfortable and uncomfortable later in the new house.."

I nodded my sign of understanding . Bang Dadang is indeed as good and as understanding as that, when it comes to others.

Now the view of bang Dadang is staring fixedly at me,

" Was our money pretty deck..?"

Bang Dadang asked slowly, maybe he was afraid if I was offended by his words.

" Later broken in the middle of the deck, the money runs out but the house can not be inhabited. Dear, does mending us delay the construction. Wait another year ? "

" god willing, if the potluck was enough Bang. the important upright umbrella first, not much pintilan..,"

I took Rama's book and pencil, and wrote all the things that had been bought on the paper and also the amount of money that was now in my hands.

I deliberately did not count and put money from the Father, so that later if the money was finally not our sustenance. I wasn't really hoping. Given the attitude of the mother earlier, I honestly thought again to accept it.

" all the goods of this building I have bought bang, money for the doors and windows I have separated and prepared. Insya

God is enough.."

Bang Dadang stared fixedly at the paper I gave him, a little long for him to examine my writing.

" This coffee bean money hasn't been counted on Deck ? "

" Yes bang. Haven't. There are some that are not dry. We'll take it to the machine. Let the money be collected, make a shortage.."

" Money from you hasn't been counted either deck.."

" E..A-nu bang's. We shouldn't just refuse, the money. My mom is right bang. Agung and Salsa are still in college . It is not ethical if we even use the money of retired father. They still have a lot of needs.."

" Let's see later, deck. Just pray that everything will be done for us and also for this family. oh yes bude you told me not yet ?"

" Not bang, you should tell bude later, if the construction process has begun. You know, Bude is busy taking care of and supervising his palm oil plantation"

" Oh yasudah then, it's up to you. Brother's leaving now yes, Assalammualaikum.."

" Wa'alaikumsalam.."

my mind is now looking far away, Actually I have not told bude because I was afraid if bude came directly here. Bude is indeed as swift as that if there is good news, especially this is something that is always discussed bude called. about when we build a house.

Even Bude offers to use the money first, but I'm afraid that Dadang bang even fell asleep, just like the Bude money that he always asked. That is the right of children.

This household, it feels more bland, but I do not despair . I hope the change bang Dadang can be permanent and restore respect and eliminate the heartache that has been lodged .because of his behavior the past year.
