Damar For Kinanti

disappointed

Indeed Damar wanted to be angry, even wanted to ask loudly, how could the condition of his sister became thinner so.

But when he saw Joseph who was not much different in his condition, his anger was broken..

The man not only looked skinny, but his appearance became unkempt.

He mustaches and a thin beard now,

and the man who usually wears a neat shirt is now just plain clothes and long pants that are not slippery.

Damar and Kinanti looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

" I'm sorry mas.. far away here no wonder what.." Yusuf kalem voice.

Damar was silent, sometimes he bowed to endure the sadness that had invaded his heart earlier.

" Gendhis..?" call Damar when his walking daughter follows Kaila's steps into the kitchen.

" Let me play with me..?" kaila led Gendhis.

" So.. actually..what's wrong? far away looking for our home?" joseph asked after the room was long silent.

" Of course because we miss you guys.What do you think you're doing?" sahut Kinanti's.

Hearing that Yusuf smiled, but his smile disappeared when he found Damar's face so stiff.

Again a moment of silence,

but then Damar's breath was heard.

" I don't want to get stale, what I'm seeing right now really disappoints me." Damar's voice was calm but firm.

" I know." answered Joseph bowed,

" that's all your answer? as a man??

I didn't even imagine being able to find you guys in this sad state?!" damar's voice was full of emphasis.

" Mad??" Kinanti touched her husband's arm to calm down.

" Why did you move here if it only made things worse?

go back to the poor!" damar again.

" We're here for the sake of tranquility..

do not look at our condition, we are indeed sad in the eyes of the mas..

but we have learned much." answered Joseph still bowed.

" You're complicating my sister's life..!"

Damar's upset.

" Don't you tell us to study?

and now we've learned, even independently..

then why are you angry?" Joseph heart said.

" Look at you? see Kaila? don't you have any glass? can't you see how pathetic you are now??"

" is this not a process you want?"

Damar was silent, right he wanted both of them to learn to live independently.

But.. when he saw the condition of the two like this, instead of being happy, his heart was like in verse.

He lives well with his wife's child, but.. his sister..?

Damar wanted to give Kaila and Joseph a lesson in what had happened before they were married..

Damar can't see the results of his sense of strength now.

" Don't worry.we eat regularly three times a day mas.." said Joseph made Damar look at him in disbelief.

" If you see we are getting thinner because we really focus on working and saving, then,

my wife and I were sick a few weeks ago, and we haven't fully recovered either.."

" Where do you work now?" ask Damar doubtfully,

" i work as a supervisor at one of the factories.."

" just?? maybe for this mas is small, but for me this is good enough, especially without the support of anyone..

after all Kaila wanted us far from poor..

as long as we're still in misery mom will keep coming and talking about things that aren't too good for us.."

Damar was silent, on his lips.

" Go back to malang.work in the place of Mas Damar.." Kinanti's voice was calm.

" Just leave us here." said Kaila out of the kitchen, making Damar and Kinan look at him.

" My husband and I are fine..

we look not good because we are too focused on our activities..

mas Yusuf is always overtime, and I busy myself selling at home." added Kaila sitting while holding Gendhis.

" Who are you lying to?" damar's voice was firm, though,

" i didn't lie to you..?"

" you even quit college!" damar's slightly high voice made Gendhis startled.

" Did you scare Gendhis??" kaila stroked his nephew's head.

" I don't want to know! get back to malang immediately!" Damar still did not lower his tone.

" I really want you to be independent, but not like this?! what would the late father say if he knew you were like this?!"

damar's voice echoed in the room, leaving everyone speechless.

" We're not as bad as you think.." Kaila tries to convince Damar that she and her husband are fine.

" Even though you're fine, I'm still not willing! your drugged husband is really good at making decisions!" Damar was really upset.

" Hear me Yusuf, I don't want to know, continue my brother's education, how can you who are a scholar even cut off my sister's education, is this your strength as a husband? only here is your ability?!

you can be a coolie or whatever, but cut Kaila's education, I can't take it!"

" Don't blame my husband, I want this.." Kaila interrupted,

" did you see your husband? he who is a scholar alone is difficult to find a job that suits his education, let alone you who only hold a High School diploma?!,

Yusuf?!, what do you think I've worked so hard working as a porters and others while in college?,

I want Kinanti to get a decent education, just like me?!

I want him to be equal to me, even if he wants my school back I will grant it,

shouldn't we give our best to the woman we love?

then what did you do by bringing Kaila here?

I can understand if there's no progress, but at least don't show me any setbacks..?!" Damar really can not be denied.

Along the way her husband was silent, only her eyes were unceasingly glazed with glass, her look as if regretting something.

" If we are tired we look for lodging only. tomorrow we continue to malang.." the voice of Kinanti slowly, the voice of,

" no, I'm fine," replied Damar short.

Hearing that Kinanti sighed, then threw her gaze at the window while stroking the head of her daughter who was busy drinking milk from her pacifier.

Damar drove his car quietly back to the poor town.

He who initially only wanted to see the condition of his sister and then returned home, found a huge disappointment.

Damar did imagine Kaila's simple life, though,

but the simplicity he found really made him a nelangsa.

" We just stop first, it looks unfocused.I'm afraid.." Kinanti's voice made Damar slow down the speed of his car.

" We are on the toll. want to pull over where.rest area is still far away.." voice Damar softly.

" The next toll gate we just go out. I want to pull over with Gendhis,

you can also eat and smoke for a while.."

hearing his wife's words Damar just nodded and increased the speed of his car.
