Nining sat quietly in the chair. The terrace is still quiet, the quiet environment makes his sadness even more peaked. I don't know what sin a good woman like Nining has committed that she's been put to such a humiliating trial. Nining doesn't know either.
Sighing, Nining wiped away the tears that did not feel like they were wetting the cheeks.
"Patience, Ning. God will not give more than His servant. You can prove you're not wrong." Although he was unsure, he remained optimistic about the justice God had given him.
From the side, a woman looked at Nining doubtfully. He wanted to get close, but was afraid of interrupting. Finally, despite half the courage, he came to Nining's house.
"Excuse me. Mba Nining, sorry to ask. Do I wear clothes with Mba Nining? You see, I borrowed the clothesline to dry the clothes, but I forgot to lift." The twenty-something woman scratched her head in embarrassment. Feel no face because it has borrowed clothes but forgot to lift it.
"Shirt? What clothes, huh, Mba?" Nining did not know at all about the clothes meant by Sri. But he tried to remember it.
"The same green plain t-shirt color************ maroon color, Mba. Oh, aye. Same t-shirt in white and trousers too Mba. Is there?" sri was at length.
"Long pants, same green t-shirt with underwear?" Nining tidied it while closing her eyes hoping she remembered something.
Waita minute. Isn't that the dress that caused the trouble between Nining and her husband? Oh, so it belongs to Sri. There had not been a day Nining asked his Lord for help, his Lord immediately granted. Is there any reason why Nining should not fear the Khalik?
"Oh, yes. I recall. I'll get it for a second." Gegas Ningsih ran to pick up the clothes meant by Sri.
With the revealing of the shirt, Nining was sure that he would make up with Dony again. Really, it feels so empty to be hostile to your own husband. The husband who was always friendly, always romantic that day turned into a figure that Ningsih did not know. A very creepy figure.
"Where's the shirt?" Nining broke into a clean clothes factory that had been folded. He believes that the problem clothes he keeps in a gray basket. He kept looking, but there was no result. The clothes seemed to disappear just like that when needed.
"Where's the shirt? Why in a crucial moment like this did the shirt suddenly disappear? My God, help me. Show me where the shirt is," Nining hoped to remain optimistic.
Although he was a little desperate, he did not give up. He recalled again where he had put the shirt down after their great quarrel last night.
"That shirt was held the same night as Mas Dony. Then Mas Dony came out. That means the clothes are outside. Wait for. Don't be there." Half-running, Nining walked out of the room and found the shirt lying on the floor.
"Thank God his clothes met. Just another dress." Nining was very happy after finding that green shirt. He also grabbed four of Sri's clothes.
Sri was already waiting furiously in front. That dress was her husband's favorite dress. Because he misses the husband who is sailing, he washed it just disappeared kangen.
"Is this his shirt?" Struggled, Nining showed the shirt to Sri.
Sri welcomed with joy.
"Yes, this is his shirt. If it's not his shirt, flipped, dong, Mba. Time has to wait to come, anyway!" snorted Sri, grabbed the shirt in annoyance. Her face turned sour after finding out Nining had indeed taken her husband's clothes.
"sorry. Looks like the one yesterday brought in Sri's mba dress was my mother. He played yesterday and certainly did not know that the clothes in front were not mine. He didn't want clothes that were already dry wet by the rain" Nining explained as he was.
Yesterday, her mother came to visit. Not to stay overnight, the middle-aged woman came home because she was called by Nining's sister who came home suddenly. His mother came home and forgot to tell him that the clothes he had lifted from the clothesline, he folded and put them in the room. Who would have thought that kindness turned disastrous.
He stabbed Sri once, but she tried to smile. Despite the pain of hearing his chatter, what he said was true. There is no point in arguing because it will further prolong the problem.
"I'm sorry then. Excuse me first." Nining came in. Serving the arrogant Sri was not with emotion. Loss later. Must be with good tactics.
"Eh, wait. I'm not done talking." Sri drew Nining's hand and invited her to sit on the terrace. "Yesterday there was a fuss what, anyway? Time yes just a rat storm doang. I don't believe." He was curious and he wanted to know.
Nining was silent for a moment. Does he have to ask Sri for help so that the problem with the husband ends soon?
"Coc, diem? Story, dong? I was curious, here. Come on, dong, story." Sri forced while staring at Nining lovingly. A woman feels there is less if she has not updated the neighbor news. That is what Sri is doing.
"It's okay, Mba. As explained by Mas Dony. It's just a rat problem" said Nining. She wants to keep her husband's good name.
"All right, don't lie to me, Mba. I'm clear that mba was accused of cheating on Mas Dony. That's so bad, Dony? Wife's own time accused of cheating?"
Nining was very surprised to hear Sri's words. He thinks only himself knows, it turns out that the sound of Dony's shout successfully makes Sri know his secret.
"We better talk inside." Nining didn't want anyone else to know about her household matters. They better talk inside to be safe.
They immediately entered and invited Sri to sit down.
"Sorry before. Can Sri keep a secret?" Nining spoke very carefully so that Sri would understand and help her.
"What kind of secret does that mean, Mba?" ask Sri back.
"Actually because of the clothesline of Mba Sri, Mas Dony became misunderstood. He thought I had entered another man's house. That's why he was angry last night with me. I'd like to ask you a favor. Can Mba Sri explain to Mas Dony about the shirt? I don't pay pa-pa, Mba. As long as Mas Dony's not mad at me anymore." Nining was very hopeful that Sri would help him. Only he can save his home.
"Oh. So because of my husband's clothes, Mba Nining same Mas Dony so fight? How much would you pay me?" Although Sri claimed to be rich, when it comes to money, she never refused.
Nining went into the room and took out a wallet containing cash that he had just taken from an ATM yesterday. Coincidentally yesterday Dony transferred monthly money for their daily needs.
"Five hundred thousand what often will receive it?" ask Nining inwardly.
Although he was given two million by Dony every month, he did not care if he had to set aside a quarter of his hat for Sri, the important thing is that his household can be saved.
Nining exits the room and meets Sri in the living room.
"It's a little money as a sign of gratitude that Madam Sri would help me explain to Mas Dony about the green shirt that was thought to belong to my affair. I beg you very much with Sri. Sister Sri would like, yes, to help me explain to Mas Dony that I am innocent. The shirt had Madam Sri's husband sunk in my clothes yesterday and accidentally laughed my mother into the house."
Sri received the money then smiled slanted. What did Sri imagine when she saw the five pieces of red money?
