"What manager, Mom? Agus is unemployed. And all this time it was your son who made a living for her useless husband!"
Bu Reni and Ismi are increasingly surprised to hear the words of Ms. Anna.
"Mom, don't lie, yeah. Where could Siti be. It used to be their wedding day with a fancy wedding and all the money from Agus." Ms. Reni still doesn't believe Ms. Anna's words.
"That's a debt. Si Agus owes the same to my husband. Keep getting married, they're contracted here. Siti paid off Agus' debt by working for free for a year. After that, I paid her salary. But every month, his salary was always given by Agus. Tell your children not to be too pussy!"
"Eh, Mom! Don't talk, yeah. I can sue Mom for slandering my daughter-in-law." Ms. Reni threatened Ms. Anna for not accepting what she heard about Siti and her husband.
"Yes, if so, come with me. After this, you can decide whether to sue me or not." Anna walked from the side of her house to the back. The place where Siti still lifts clothesline. Siti was long when lifting clothesline because it was previously put in the basket, the clothes will be folded first. But that doesn't happen when it rains.
Reni and Ismi follow Anna. They arrived at the back of the house and saw a woman similar to Siti who was lifting a clothesline. Siti's face was not visible because she was turning her back on them. But, they clearly knew the stature of Siti despite being seen from behind.
"Siti, after this shopping to the stall, yes. Buy me a snack" said Ms. Anna.
"Yes, Mom," said Siti turned to the side to just respect her employer. But he did not see how many people were behind him.
"Your salary is not ahead to be saved, right?"
"No, Ma. Mas Agus wants to buy a new jacket."
"Well, you're spoiling your unemployed husband too much!"
"But it doesn't have to be that much. You are supporting him. Upside down, Siti. He should be the one who works and supports you."
"No papa, Mom. I love you with Agus. I don't want to see him tired. It's pity."
"You feel sorry for him. But you don't feel sorry for yourself. Why do your parents keep quiet to know that their son-in-law is unemployed?"
"Udahlah, Ma. My family can't know. Later they rampaged if they knew I work and Mas Agus at home."
"Bas your bucin, Siti!"
Siti even laughed as if she did not care about the words of the master. Seeing the reality that was in front of his eyes, Miss Reni and Ismi were shocked. They looked at Siti with disappointed looks. It turns out they were lied to all along.
"Site!"
Hearing another voice calling her name, Siti was startled and turned around. How surprised he was when he saw his mother and brother were behind him earlier.
"Oh, so this is what keeps you from letting us come?" Ismi approached Siti and looked at her sharply. A thread of tears drenched his cheeks to see a reality that was not as beautiful as their expectations so far. Siti who they thought was a hostess who lived a happy and fulfilled life turned out to be just a housekeeper who supported her husband.
"Mother, Mommy?" he said with a look of shock. Didn't know if Salsa's speech through a short message turned out to be true.
