Early in the morning Anisa woke up to several houses before going to sell to the market. First he swept and mopped the floor, washed clothes, washed dishes. It was still too dark for him to dry clothes so he kept it in the washing machine dryer.
After performing the morning prayers, he woke up his parents. Incidentally the mother has experienced PNS so as not to perform dawn prayers. And Ramli? He rarely wanted to perform dawn prayers. When he woke up he only said later, but his eyes kept closed until the sun rose.
His mother helped Anisa prepare breakfast that morning. Ramli who had to go to work early in the morning because there was an important business was to take a shower first.
After finishing the bath, he went to the dinner table and enjoyed the breakfast made by his wife and son.
"Oh, I think it's still cloudy. Do not wear it inside the house, yes," said Anisa since earlier noticed the weather outside.
"Udah do not need, who dry clothes let Salsa alone. He's the last one up here. At least nine or ten o'clock he just woke up," sahur Dewi.
"Kok so just ranting Salsa? Pity her for soy sauce" Ramli said.
"What's the ship, Dad?" ask the goddess who does not understand. He only learned that last night Salsa came home hanging out with her friends quite late because it gave a surprise to one of his friends.
"She came home last night until midnight. He must be tired of celebrating his friend's birthday. Preparing for a surprise is not easy."
Anisa took a long breath. In fact, all his efforts to make his father did not discriminate with Salsa in vain. It seems that the man is used to discriminating his son.
The face of the Goddess looks red. It was an emotional reaction triggered by Ramli's sentence.
Anisa who knows her mother is about to explode hints at Ramli's eyes for the middle-aged man to remember about their deal.
"Eh, anu, yes, I mean that Dad, that means do not wake up this early in the morning. Let's just give her a memo on the dinner table so she helps dry the clothes."
"Oh, yes, Anisa wrote a note for Salsa. Why was the boy allowed to wake up in the afternoon? That's not good for health. Especially she's a girl. Which guy wants to snub a lazy girl like that." The goddess let out a long sigh while spooning rice and side dishes into her plate.
"Let's do it, Mom. He still wants to enjoy his youth. There will come a time when he realizes that he is getting older. And about the men who want to disturb him, there must be a lot. She's a scholar, pretty, her father's PNS." Ramli smiled while proud of his son as well as himself.
"But I know, all the mothers in this complex do not want Salsa to be their daughter-in-law? Most of them even want Anisa to be a daughter-in-law for them. Because what? Because in this complex Salsa was labeled as a lazy child. While Anisa was labeled as a diligent child. Wonderful as the father who never boasted Anisa." Dewi began to grumble commenting on the attitude of her husband who had never been proud of Anisa.
Every time Ramli met with fellow PNS colleagues, he must have been proud of Salsa. Anisa's name was never even mentioned.
"Oh, it's still early in the morning." Anisa admonishes her mother not to trigger a quarrel with her father. Again he gave a signal to Ramli so as not to make the mother more emotional.
"You've always wanted to know your father. Let it be later, if Salsa is married, what is the fate of the household if he has a lazy wife like him. Thank goodness he got a rich man" said Dewi amid his frustration.
Ramli who was ready to go to work immediately took out his motorcycle and heated the engine first.
Annisa also came while carrying a helmet to Ramli because his father had always forgotten to wear a helmet. Although often rejected because he thinks the distance of the school is very close, but Anisa only wants to rame comply with government regulations, one of which is driving with a helmet.
Ramli received the helmet. But then he whispered to Anisa. "Later in the afternoon you try to go home, yes. Dry her clothes."
Deg, it turns out that the father actually played his charade in front of the mother. Anisa again swallowed the disappointment of seeing her father who could not keep his promise.
After his father left, he wiped the wet corners of his eyes. Is it wrong for him to be angry at his father who is still being unfair to him and his sister?
