A Husband's Love

Suspicious

Sinta looked at the money roll in her hand. Sinta intends to give the money to her parents, but Sinta has not found the right reason if her parents ask the origin of the money. Although Papa Panji and Mama Ria are poor, they always teach good manners to their three children.

Not accidentally, Sinta heard the conversation of her parents last night. Dion who wants to enter Junior High needs a new uniform and other school supplies. The harvest was just enough to eat while the wages of working in people's gardens were not enough to buy a new uniform for Dion. It was still for Dion's needs, not to mention for Lina's school needs that were no less urgent to be met.

Feeling that he had gotten an excuse, Sinta met her parents in the living room. Today they are home because the rain does not stop. Sinta looked around her house. In some places there are already buckets to accommodate rainwater dripping from the leaking roof. From the cracked floor has also radiated seasonal springs. The spring is only there when there is rain. The floor of Sinta's already low house makes water seep from the crack of the cracked floor gap.

"There are fried potatoes, the better if there is coffee.

Lina, make some coffee for papa and mama!. I want to yes too!" said Sinta while eating fried yam. Sweet potatoes are a type of food available in the house Sinta. The yam is the result of their plants that are planted in the coffee gap.

"Sugar and coffee run out, sister" said Lina from the kitchen. Sinta went into the room and took the fifties money then handed it to Dion.

"Dion, buy me a kilo of sugar and a quarter of coffee!.

"No need to sin, this is all good kog," said Mama Ria. Sinta kept telling her Dion to go to the nearest stall.

"Ga what ma, this rain is good to drink coffee let alone fried sweet potatoes. Hurry Dion, hunt for the money!"

"Yes, my brother, same snacks as well" said the boy happily. Rarely can he get caught. Sinta nodded.

"Dion, here's a fry. Why buy more snacks. Wasting," said Mama again. He felt buying snacks just to throw money away.

"Bored mama" said Dion as he walked out of the house.

Shortly thereafter, hot coffee was in session. Sinta was looking for the right time to give the money to her parents.

"Mama, the fried yams are delicious. Mama must have a special recipe."

"Not a special recipe sin, just a rather complicated processing. If the mixture is just salt."

"Your mama if the cooking business is indeed good sin," said the father who had been watching tv.

"Mama, if mama opens a stall how about ma?" sinta said to provoke the conversation so that it leads to money.

"Mama there is no capital for minjam to rentenir interest is high."

"Love... How did you get that kind of money?. Or maybe you're in town so..."

"Mama don't think no. Actually this money I collected for the odd semester tuition. I also plan for almost two months off in this village. Because I'm going to give this money to my mom, I'm going back to town next week. Working full time for almost two months, I can definitely raise some more money." Sinta cut off Ria's mother's words, Sinta knew if Ria's mother continued her words. Again Sinta lied to cover the origin of the money.

"Papa still suspected Sinta, indeed your salary how much can immediately collect this much money in almost two months. You just work in a shop, just eat thankfully. Sinta, don't embarrass your family. We are poor, but we must have dignity."

"Pa, trust me!. I did work in a food stall but all I got was a clean salary. I even held back my appetite just to eat meatballs to save money. But you don't believe. Did mom and dad see me like a seductress?. Again Sinta tried to convince her parents.

"Not so Sinta, we don't want you to take the wrong path. You remember that Wulan? he used to go to town for college. But because his parents are just like us people can't afford the Wulan to be a mistress om om and see what the result is?. I have children but no husband. You better not go to college if you're going the wrong way in town." Papa Panji advised Sinta. He knew clearly if their neighbor Wulan was forced to become a mistress om om. Papa Panji didn't want it to happen to his daughter.

"Don't equate me with Mbak Wulan pa, obviously we are different. Everyone has their own destiny."

"Love, you better be honest from where the money is," urged papa Panji still do not believe in all the words said Sinta.

"Pa, Mama. Seriously, the money is from my work. Trust me Pa, Ma. I work till late at night."

The two old men saw Sinta who was seriously talking. Sinta's words were very convincing until finally both parents believed.

"Love, save your money!. Use it for your own needs. We can still work on money in other ways," said Papa Panji refused the money given by Sinta. Papa Panji feels that parents are not responsible if they receive the gift of Sinta, when it is clear that Sinta really needs it. Mama Ria nodded in agreement with what Papa Panji said. They did not know that many times that money, Sinta also already had it in a bank account. What happens if they find out Sinta already has a house in the city. The house is much nicer than their home even Sinta also has a motor matic.

"Pa, Ma don't worry. By working for almost two months I can definitely raise that kind of money. Especially for this semester my tuition is reduced by 30 percent. I will also take care of the certificate from the village chief. Certificate of not being able to take care of student duties." Sinta lies back and persuades her parents to accept the money. Sinta was surprised out of nowhere she could get the answer. It turns out that lying is very easy and smooth if the situation is urgent.

"All right, son, but please don't make a wrong move!. It is better to sacrifice the mind than to sacrifice self-esteem" said Mama Ria receiving money from the hands of Sinta. Sinta was relieved but also felt guilty for lying to her parents.

"Yes mama, I definitely remember the advice of mama and papa. Thank you for believing in me." Sinta hugged her mother.

"Ma, Mum. I'm sorry I had to lie about the money. That's not haram. The money was my husband's gift, "inwardly Sinta.

"Thank you son, we'll make the most of this money. Grab your mind son and don't forget to pray." Sinta nodded, at once she remembered Andre. Deep down, Sinta is grateful to be married to Andre.

What happens if she doesn't want to marry Andre. He may not be able to meet his parents at this time. True said Papa Panji working in a food stall just be grateful.

Mama Ria expressed her plan to use the money given by Sinta. Sinta and Papa Panji agreed. For now, Lina and Dion's school needs are the most important. Since the money was also still enough to replace the leaking zinc, they planned to quickly replace the roof of the house. Sinta was relieved. Finally, the money given by Andre is useful for his family.
