Leony's phone kept ringing, but she refused to take a call from her husband. Her blanket was now wet with tears, her eyes puffed up not stopping crying. The clock shows at 7 pm, but he was asleep until morning.
A sunny morning after a night of rain makes the yard look very dirty by the leaves scattered. Leony woke up early and immediately cleaned the dirty yard of the house. While he was busy cooking in the kitchen.
After finishing cooking, bi Sri asked for more shopping money. Leony headed to her room, she took all the remaining money in the ATM her husband gave her. There are only 1.5 million left. He took a deep breath, the 1.5 million was just enough to spend 1 week. After this he will definitely use his personal money for daily shopping.
"Bi, this is 1.5 million. Can be for 3 times shopping right bi?" leony asked for money.
"Can be non, enough," said bi Sri keeps the money in her pocket, "I go shopping first non."
Leony could only be glued to see bi Sri who received the last shopping money her husband gave her. Actually shopping for the kitchen is not how expensive, just have to buy herbal medicine for his father 200 thousand for one week.bi Sri trying to save shopping and manage finances, just have to buy herbal medicine for his father 200 thousand for one week, otherwise, he would be angry.
Early in the morning Anita came with her two children. They looked bright, Anita also changed the color of her hair paint that was originally brown to blonde to emasan, with neat clothes as usual.
"Tumben once, brother, are the kids coming?"
"Yes, they're tired of continuing in the same papa house. I bring it here every once in a while" he said wagging his blond hair. She smiled and then went in after her children.
Leony is done sweeping the yard, a sunny day makes litter of leaves quickly dry and ready to burn. He burned the leaf litter he had collected in a large barrel.
After his work was done, he went in for a shower. Everyone gathered in the living room watching television enjoying a snack, Leony just smiled faintly past them.
"Leony?" her mother-in-law called.
"Yes, mah?"
"You wonder, you're in this house like a baby. Shabby clothes, your body odor is not bad! sometimes you have real treatment! your husband works day and night to support you but you keep the money. Want to get the money to have a pinak?"
Degh's! again, once again lightning like yesterday struck. Leony's hands and feet began to tremble. Much money?
"Yes," only that sentence can be thrown out of his mouth.
He went up to his room upstairs and took a shower. After the shower she saw her phone, there were a few more missed calls from her husband and a few chat messages. Leony called Adam.
"Mass?"
"Hani, ma'afkan mas. You must have been angry to hear what you said last night?" he said regretfully.
"Yes, it's okay" Tears began to flow again on her cheeks.
"Hani, have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet, mas itself has eaten? how's it going in there?"
"She hasn't eaten, either, tumben once you haven't had breakfast at this hour?"
"I just finished my bath, after this I'll have breakfast."
Bi Sri came in droves carrying a basin, apparently bi Sri just finished cleaning the fish again.
"Non, wait a minute Aunty cook first, not sure laper huh?" he said smiling wryly and preparing the seasoning in a hurry.
"Not too hungry also bi, this morning's cooking has run out all bi?"
"Yes, non. Understandably, if non Anita children who come must always ludes non food, sssttt," bi Sri gives a signal by covering her mouth using the index finger, "her children will never be taken care of as mamahnya, sssttt, non see for themselves their bodies are both thin dry. So, it is understood that it is non," said bi Sri while peeling some spices.
"Yes bi, I can stand the hunger really," Leony helped bi Sri wash the dirty dishes and leftovers on the table.
After a while, the food was cooked. Leony and bi Sri eat together in the kitchen. Today her father-in-law's nurse came a bit bad luck, she got all out angry by her mother Adam. By noon at 10 her husband had not been bathed. Fortunately, Sri had already fed him breakfast. The newly arrived nurse was almost crying receiving a snatch for the sake of the clash.
Carefully the nurse led Leony's father-in-law to take a bath. Leony could not stop thinking, Her mother-in-law could only get angry and angry. Never once did she see helping her husband to just do the little things. He really raised his hand.
And Anita, only occasionally she helps her father, just to sit in a wheelchair or help him lie down. That is if the nurse has gone home. There was no more treatment to his father-in-law, he was only considered a lifeless and worthless item.
Worse, since Adam went on a work visit since then, his mother-in-law and sister Anita have never been seen going to work. Apparently, Adam's departure means a holiday for both of them.
"Heh, why are you daydreaming in the kitchen?" her mother-in-law's words awaken Leony from her daydream.
"W-What's up, mah?"
"You transfer money again 5 million, you need a lot!"
"Em, this is mah. actually the money that was given by Adam was over, mah," said Leony rather stammered.
"What's? run out? you buy anything you can get that much money out?" asked her mother-in-law in great astonishment.
"Well, Adam only gave 20 million mah and it was up for the purposes of this house," with a heavy heart he said a sentence that he really did not want to say.
"Oh, is the money over? if you ask for it again! he's your husband, time can't ask for more? if you ask for 20 million more!" his mother said ketus, in fact he felt astonished why Adam only gave 20 million for his wife. That kind of money is obviously running out, "Leony, you're a housing divloper, you don't have any money at all?"
"Sorry, the money made me pay the debt. There was still a little left, but I did not dare to use it. I've even given my own ATM to Fira, because she handles everything. If the money is less for development, the money in the ATM is later for the reserve mah," said Leony trying to give understanding to his mother-in-law.
"Where is the money from fish ponds and ponds?" asked her mother-in-law to try to know everything.
"There's mah in the closet, but Adam said the money should not be used first," Leony said very awkwardly.
"You need money, you don't want to pay money anyway? mom needs cash now. Now you take the money, you want to use it!"
"But mah,"
"No buts, quickly bring here the money, 3 million only!"
Degh's! one problem would arise again, with a heavy heart he stepped into the room to take his money. He gave money in his hands to his mother-in-law. I don't know what Adam will say. Sadness began to radiate again on his face today.
