Don't Insult Me

Attention

"Mas, come on, breakfast first," Salsa called when she reached the living room.

Reza immediately stopped his work after being asked by other fathers. He went to Salsa and had breakfast together.

It turns out that Bu Asih's cooking is very good. Unexpectedly people who rarely cook like that turned out to have a taste of very delicious cuisine.

"Sa, later if the housework is done we go, yuk," asked Reza suddenly.

"Where, Mas?"

"To the market, buy kitchen supplies. Because the kitchen equipment in Mas rented is not complete. We'll buy it first to the store, transfer it tomorrow, all the transfers."

Salsa, who heard Reza's words, lowered her head. This, of course, made Reza feel astonished.

"Why, Sa?"

"I don't want to live in this area, Mom? Maybe not if we just move," he said to make Reza surprised.

"Moved? Why, Sa? Isn't this your birthplace?" Reza scrunched his forehead to see the wife who suddenly made a request that was quite strange.

"Outside the area, Mas. I don't want to stay here much longer. In everyone's eyes my name is ugly. So, I want to move to a new place and start a new life."

"Yes, I'm okay, Sa. But how are both your parents? How about Anisa? Surely they protest if we move to a distant place." Reza tried to remind Salsa to rethink her intentions.

"I've talked to Anisa before. At first he disagreed, but I convinced him. Now I live with Mom and Dad. Later we both talk to them, yes, Mas."

"Yes, yes. If so, shopping for kitchen equipment later if we have moved. But, I hope you want to think about this again. Being away from family is not a good thing, Sa._

Reza could only sigh long. Actually he didn't matter if they had to move. After all, he is an ojeker who can work in any area. But, what about Salsa's father and mother? Surely they were disappointed and instead accused Reza who wanted to take Salsa away from them.

Later that night, they ventured to talk to Salsa's parents. And as they expected, Salsa's parents were angry and wept at hearing Salsa want to move.

"Sa, if you have to rethink this? Do not just because the neighbors are deaf, you have to leave this place," said Dewi while crying.

"I'm sorry, Buk. I don't want to stay away from you all. I just want to start a new life with Mas Reza." Salsa tried to give her understanding. While the father was still at home looking at him with a disappointed look.

"But not so much the way. You are still angry with Ibuk who used to be unfair with you? Yes, I'm sorry, Sa. But please, don't leave us."

"Oh, please don't believe me. I need peace too. To be honest, I have not recovered from past trauma. And maybe this is my chance to recover myself again. It's not good to live with the shadow of a painful past, Buk." Salsa also finally shed tears. It is not easy to express his heart to his parents.

"I promise I'll come here often to see you. It's only an hour away, really, Buk. Not too far, are you?"

"But I want to see you every day, Sa. If you move, I can't see you every day."

"Oh, trust me. This was the right decision for me. Each month we have a picnic together. We can get together with Anisa's sister." As much as possible Salsa convinced her mother to agree to her decision.

Until finally, the mother agreed and approved her decision to go to another area. They also started to prepare everything. From looking for rent, buying tools that do not exist, to cleaning all their goods.

In a few days, they will move in with Salsa's parents and Anisa. Maybe no one knows if Salsa decided to move instead of just wanting to treat her trauma. But want to avoid all the help that might be given by parents and also his brother who lives well. She wanted to enjoy a household that only had her and her husband. There is no need for intervention or help from the family that will actually make them unable to live independently.

Because he is sure, Adit and his mother will definitely try to find ways to make Salsa can live a good life. And Salsa the thing that doesn't like to be pitied. Enjoying a simple life with the person who loves her is more than enough for her.
