A Husband's Love

A Husband's Love
Meet Family



After traveling a few hours Sinta arrived at the bus station in the afternoon. Sinta gets off the bus with her backpack and a little by. Sinta circulated the view hoping that there was someone she knew who could bring her to the village. This afternoon it would be better to go home with a known person rather than take an ojek. Coincidence or lucky fate he knew someone standing in front of the counter.


Sinta approached the person who was busy stuffing some packages into his backpack.


"When are you here?, why?. The called one looks up and smiles.


"Eh Sinta, you just came home from the city, I picked up the package my brother sent from the city. They're passing by bus. Through the bus one day has arrived rather than using delivery services," said Dika while pointing to the bus near the counter. Sinta nodded.


"Yes, how are you Sinta?, the old in your city is getting prettier."


"Good news, who are you with?"


"alone. Come on, you come home with me. It's my motor."


"Thank You." Sinta nodded. After being in the parking lot Sinta followed Dika up to his motorcycle.


Throughout the journey they remained silent. Realizing that she is married, Sinta feels awkward and keeps her distance from touching their skin. Another case with Dika even though silent do not ask his heart. Being able to piggyback on Sinta made her very happy. Dika is Sinta's neighbor is only a few houses away from Sinta's house. It has been a long time since Dika put his heart towards Sinta. Dika who is less willing to express his love, choose to be silent.


Sinta patted Dika's shoulder from behind. Sinta asks Dika to drop it at the intersection. Let him walk to his house because it is not hearty Dika deliver to the front of his house when Dika's house first can be. Dika ignored him and continued to bring Sinta to the front of his house.


"When, thanks for the ride, let's stop for a minute!" said Sinta stale base after getting off the motor, Dika turned back the motor and then stopped back.


" Same with Sinta, no need to hesitate. Thanks for your offer too. But I have to leave immediately." Sinta nodded. After Dika passed, Sinta entered the yard of her house.


Sinta knocked on the door and said hello, before long someone opened the door.


"Sister, Ma, brother Sinta is home!" lina said shouting. Sinta smiled and immediately hugged her sister Lina. Not to mention Sinta releasing a hug from Lina already seen Mama Ria and Dion near them. Mama Ria instantly pulled Sinta into her arms and sobbed. Sinta was also moved and cried.


Mama Ria cried happily to be reunited with her first daughter. Taking off Sinta to the city with insufficient finances made her continue to feel worried about Sinta's life in the city.


Now they were sitting in an old chair in the living room. Papa Panji who is ready to take a shower has also joined. While enjoying by what Sinta brought they told stories while joking. Many times Mama Ria thanked Sinta to tell her about her life in the city. Of course Sinta did not tell me that she was married Siri. Lying, Sinta said that she worked at a stall near her campus with her hefty salary, food and shelter already covered. His salary was for tuition and other college needs.


Mama Ria believes so do her two sisters. But not with Papa Panji.heard Sinta tell a story, Papa Panji noticed Sinta's appearance ranging from clothes, watches, shoes and even mobile phones. What Sinta wears is not expensive. Given that they have not sent money to Sinta for a long time, Papa Panji is a little suspicious, added Sinta once sent them money.


"Love, if you may know, the money you sent to us, where did you come from?. Sinta was surprised to get such a question from Papa Panji. Questions that have not been prepared for the answer. Sinta thought and tried not to be nervous.


"O that's sir, in addition to the food stalls, Sinta's boss also had catering for pa parties, so yesterday it was for a full month Sinta overtime until late at night due to many catering orders. What I sent you was her tip pa." Sinta said, the right answer according to Papa Panji.


"Thank God, son then. Is your college not interrupted?" ask Mr. Panji again


"I'm sorry, son. You should go to the focus city of college, but in reality you have to slam bones for the sake of your lecture," said Mama Ria was sad to hear Sinta's struggle in the city.


"Mama don't be sad, it's only temporary. later if I graduate college, I'll find a better job. So my mom should not be sad. Just pray for your daughter ma" replied Sinta while taking something from her backpack.


"Lina, it's a phone for you, it's an old sister's phone but it's still good. Let's get a video call later." Lina was happy to receive Sinta's used phone. All this time he could only see his friends playing mobile phones. In class almost all already have a cell phone only two or three people who do not have a cell phone including Lina.


"Thank you brother."


"Where am I brother?" asked Dion who did not accept only Lina who was given a cell phone.


"You're a kid on deck, just about to enter Junior High. Next year if you have windfall, you buy a cell phone" Sinta told her youngest sister.


"Yes, it's still a long time, brother." Dion sulks


"Dion, don't be like that. Your sister can go to college thank you. You are the one who studied it. If your grades are good, you'll buy a cell phone if our harvest is good." Mama Ria persuades Dion.


"But I want it now ma."


"Dion can't be like that. If your brother has two phones, you'll be given one. Your brother's in town for college. Lina needs that phone more. Anyway if you play mobile phone later have your sister Lina just borrow." Papa Panji who had been silent now persuaded Dion.


"Mama, what did you cook?" ask Sinta who is getting hungry.


"As usual sister, salted fish the same leaves of mashed yam." Not that my mom answered even Dion spoke. Sinta understands her family situation. The menu must be repeated in a week cooked by Mama Ria.


Sinta took out a fifty-thousand piece of money from her wallet then handed it to Dion. Sinta knew Dion was bored with the food that it just kept.


"Dion, want to buy something?.


"Yes, brother, I want Pak Yanto's meatballs at the intersection."


"Yes bought four portions, enough money, right?.


" Yes, brother."


"I don't want meatballs, I want chicken noodles. Papa must be chicken noodles, too. Aye right?" said Lina and Papa Panji nodded.


"It's up to you, if I want mom's cooking. Kangen shrimp with mother's cooking. Sinta said while Mama Ria smiled.
