Divorced for Poor

Chapter 4. Work is not real

Desta laughed, when he remembered that he was holding tens of millions of money owned by his wife. The severance money he asked from Lilis with great difficulty.

For business capital? Just yummy. Moreover, you still have to pay the installment of the motorbike which is only a few months away.

Motorcycle installments, add expenses only.

With that money, I can do anything. Eat well, watch concerts and of course look for women. Lilis is a really stupid woman.

His laughter reverberated in his parents' house. Fortunately, both of his parents went to the garden. His two sisters went to school. Only seen the annoyed Dance heard her brother's laughter which seemed full of ridicule.

Dari approached Desta with a gaze full of questions.

"Sister, this early in the morning came just to laugh. Who's laughing, Dance?"

"No-no. Don't misunderstand my dear sister. My sister is just happy. Wanted to share this joy with all of you."

"Happy? Brother got a good job, or brother even got a salary? Want to buy us?" tanya Tari is happy.

"No. I haven't got a job, let alone a salary. But if you're to treat you, brother, there's money."

"Where else? Father and mother will not leave if the money you use is not from the work of your own brother."

"Indeed, you guys are so complicated. Well already, brother go first. There's an appointment with brother's friend."

Desta left with a long sigh. Desta's parents are eager to see Desta work. Especially now that Desta is married and soon has a child.

But for Desta, if he can live casually, without having to work, why have a job. Life is to be enjoyed. Mumpung is young.

Desta calls one of his friends, Feri, to pick him up. After five minutes, Feri has come with his moge that looks fierce. The sound of the motor was very deafening.

"Well, that's so cool of you, Fer. Unemployed, but can buy a bike this good."

"Sure dong," Feri replied with a grinning smile.

"For dong way, can have a good bike without working. Don't-don't you, you're picking?"

"No epoch. If you want to know how, come with me tonight. Okay?!" feri said as he blinked one of his eyes.

"okay-okay. I'll come with you tonight. So curious."

"Where are you going?"

"We're going to a normal place. I buy coffee while hanging out."

"Ready. The usual cafe, right? Depart."

They smiled happily like two people without dependents. For Feri he is not married, so he is still free of anything. But for Desta, who already has family responsibilities, it should not behave as if she is still single.

If you have gathered with his friends, Desta can forget time. In the afternoon he had just come home, even just to shower and change clothes. There was almost no time to greet each other, as he no longer saw Lilis. It's like Lilis isn't in this house.

"Mas, where are you going? Just got home an hour ago and are you leaving again?"

"You're like a mother now. Shrewish."

"Mas, we pray Maghrib first before Desta mas go," said Lilis.

"Not able to anymore. You hear, it's the sound of Feri's motor waiting. You pray alone," replied Desta then stepped out of the house to meet Feri.

The sound of the roar of the Feri motor speeding in the twilight that has begun to change the night.

Bu Siti hugs Lilis to strengthen Lilis' fragile heart.

"Alright, Lis. We pray first. Pray that your husband will be guided by God to come back to bow down to Him."

Lilis and Bu Siti take ablution to immediately perform Maghrib prayers. They prayed fervently and afterwards they were immersed in their respective prayers.

Lilis prayed and pleaded with God, that her husband be instructed and guided to keep His commandments and keep away from His prohibitions. Lilis gave everything to God.

Could this be the true nature of Desta's mas?

***

Desta and Feri get into a pretty festive party. This party looks like a party for women. Generally, these women are mature. About 30 to 40 years.

Only a few young men were accompanying them. Most of the young men looked younger and arguably still brondong. This party is a lonely aunty party. And the young brondong there are paid men.

Desta looked at the smiling Feri as he waved at the people at this party. Before Feri steps away, Desta grabs Feri's arm.

"Fer, what does this mean?"

"Abang Desta's cute. Don't you want to know how I can have a cool bike out there? Yeah, here. We please that aunt over there. If they're happy, whatever we ask for, it'll be dear" Feri said with a smile.

"Fun?"

"Don't be a plain-ass bang. Brother Desta is married. Know dong pleasing wife. It's easy bang. I'll find you a young one, okay?"

Feri stepped up to greet some of the women who were chatting. Desta was just watching what his best friend was doing. Not long after, Feri returns and invites Desta to come with him. Feri introduces Desta to a woman who is about 33 years old but still looks beautiful in sexy clothes.

"This is my friend. New, so you're acquaintances. I have business, I have to go first."

The ferry went to meet a woman who was about 40 years old. The woman still looks beautiful and rich. Feri's looks were very adept at making the woman smile happily. Then they left without saying goodbye to Desta who was still confused.

"You, Feri's friend?"

"Yes. Introduce, I'm Desta."

"Marya."

Maria welcomed Desta's hand as a greeting. They still looked timid because for both Desta and Maria, this was their first time attending such an event.

"We'd better get out of this place. It feels uncomfortable. Let's just go eat, how?" ask Desta.

"Alright, I feel that way too."

"But, I came here in Bonceng Feri. I didn't bring a vehicle."

"I'm taking the car."

Desta smiled and immediately walked away with Maria. But before leaving, Maria had to say goodbye to one of her friends.

Desta and Maria go to a fancy restaurant. They eat while occasionally flirting with each other. Desta was no longer feeling awkward. Even he kept trying to impress Maria with his meeting tonight.

After eating, Maria went to the toilet. While Desta called the restaurant waiter to pay for their dinner bill tonight. Desta wants to pay so he doesn't seem poor. But how surprised he was, it was written the number 500 thousand.

What, it's expensive. 500 Thousand dollars can be for Lilis shopping money for one month. This one meal 500 grand?

"Mas Desta, what's wrong?"

Mary's question surprised him. Desta got excited and pretended there was nothing.

"There's nothing. It's gonna pay the bill."

"Let me pay, ma'am."

"can't. I'm a man, let me pay."

"alright. Next time I'll buy Desta's mas."

Desta tried to appear to be the man in charge so that Maria would believe more if she was a good and royal person.
