The day has gone by in the afternoon, the children have also finished bathing and perfumed. As a new neighbor, some days I joined the gathering of mothers who usually every afternoon always relax in front of the house mbak Salma, good just to tell funny things, to talk about the ugliness of the neighbors.
If in the city we have to be thick wallet, but in this place, we must have thick ears. Because the slightest thing will be commented.
" Look at your husband who never went to the garden, huh, Ti ? Was she like that every day at Salsa's mother's house ?"
I smiled "No way, Miss Ida, the garden is safe if it is left, this new bi-monthly harvest season is over.
so there is still nothing to do either despite leaving for the garden. "
" Oh, your husband has never been a laborer, help other farmers ? Or you can also exchange energy to help each other. It's pretty loh if you want to be a laborer, pak Haji again find the problem.50 thousand net loh Ti. has been given to eat the same cigarette.."
I digest the words of Ida, good enough for the size of life in the village with that money every day, but what bang Dadang want ?
" Yes ma'am, it'll go to the guy hopefully he wants. Because it is bang Dadang never exchange energy, let alone nyambi become a farm worker.. "
" It is the father of PNS, so it is possible to ask for funding if it is not the coffee season, right mothers.
You're lucky Siti got PNS in-laws, so even though Husband is lazy. In-laws ready to disburse funds.heheheh"
Bu Inggid chimed in. The other mothers even chuckled at Bu Inggid's outspoken attitude.
I'm sometimes uncomfortable, if I have to join this ghibah event. But the name of living neighbors must be able to socialize. But today, hearing for myself that these mothers have endowed my husband, it seems even more inexpressible that I am okay.
My principle remains the same, my husband's disgrace is my disgrace. Abstain for me if I have to, open the disgrace of someone I still maintain his position on my side. I as much as possible was not instigated and even joined the worship.
I no longer respond to the words of Ms. Inggid, the dog barking as it passes.
Let me talk about this later with bang Dadang, but after I think if according to his prestige and high self-esteem. I think bang Dadang will receive , if you have to be a laborer on the sidelines of the coffee harvest which is only once a year.
I was silent and apparently this could make Ms. Inggid shift the topic, now she even discussed the problem of favorite soap operas.The voices of mothers sound simple to each other, the more the afternoon even more crowded.
Actually I'm not feeling too hard here. But Bara who looked angrily from earlier even made me not have the heart if I had to take her home.
Rama and Dio are also seen mingling with children their age. The location of our house is far from the highway, there is only a path as access in and out. So here often gather children from the front alley, in addition to not worry about vehicles, here there is also a large field and commonly used by children to play ball.
Bang Dadang came home before Maghrib, with some crackers containing meatballs, children's favorite food.
Of course Rama and Dio greeted his father cheerfully. Even Rama swiftly took the bowl for the meatball container. This habit he did when his grandfather was traveling . If only bang Dadang did not leave with the Father, it is certain that my husband will go home empty-handed.
I don't know, I don't even know if Dadang actually loves his kids or not.
Now I was sitting in the living room, feeding Bara with meatballs that I had cut into small pieces, so that Bara did not choke.
Bang Dadang made a sound looking at me, showing a white envelope that was quite thick.
" How much is bang ?"
This should have been talked about by bang Dadang before the thaw. But I wasn't even told what the exact amount of the bank loan was. Until I finally said it so as not to be like a fool in front of my own husband. Though of course I will be messed around later the payment problem, especially if the bang Dadang does not change and stay on the feeling of laziness.
" A little deck !!"
Bang Dadang opened the envelope and took out a piece of paper numbered inside,
"It was dipake Mr. five million. he said make the handle of Mother and Father at the graduation Agung later. ."
Twenty million, total loans. Not yet deducted initial installments and administrative costs. I wonder how much is left of this money. But until the Dadang bang passed by draping a towel on his shoulder, the man did not also tell me .
I tried to get rid of my curiosity and preferred to focus on Bara who looked greedy eating meatballs in her bowl..
***
After I told Bang Dadang about the idea of Bu ida bang Dadang still seems indifferent, he said if you solve the terrace problem first, and he will think about how it will be.
The moon changed and bang Dadang remained in his habit that only at home and night he even got together with the Fathers at the patrol post . Always home in the morning. As a result, he always woke up, drowsiness, making him emotional fast and even venting all the anger on the children.
Luckily I was increasingly awarded sustenance through online sales, gathering activities with mothers now I do not do anymore.
I've been paying bank payments for two months. Loan money from banks that actually only left a little after the construction of the terrace is completed, now it has been exhausted. Because it is used for daily needs, do not forget the cigarette money for bang Dadang.
" Bang, you can't keep believing. Our money is gone, folks. These two months I had to use the capital sales money so that the payment was not idle. If this continues, our children may not eat anymore bang ..."
I covered my body with a blanket, I had just finished giving my husband an inner living, purposely speaking now, because I knew his mood would be good if his lust had been ventured.
" Yeah, tomorrow you will ask the Hajj sir, need more energy or not..."
Bang Dadang went up, took a towel to the bathroom, because it was approaching dawn. I'm happy with bang Dadang's answer, although there are doubts. If at this hour he had not slept for a moment, how could he have set out to become a laborer in the garden of the hajj sir..
" Dek, I'm so sleepy. Tomorrow, yes, I promise I will go with her husband, Sister Salma, you've talked to her.."
And it turns out....!!!
I'm right, the reason and the time are very right, right ??...
