Due to Neighbor's Clothes

“Gak, Dong, Honey. Yesterday the security guards even failed to rob us. So don't worry. Everything is safe.” Nining convinced her husband.

“Ya, then. But Mas won't turn off his phone before Mas sees you sleeping,” pinta Dony who is like a child.

“Iya. I'll sleep later won't turn off the phone. Oh, aye. Don't you leave for work tomorrow? Go to sleep, dong. How bad luck?”

Dony thunts. He still missed talking to Nining but Nining instead told him to sleep. Sucks.

“Mas is still missing, dear. Sleep later, huh?” Dony is not usually lazy to sleep. Usually, if he works, he must sleep deliberately in the afternoon so as not to oversleep waking up. This time away from Nining it felt like he wanted to continue talking to Dony.

“Do not, dong. Later scolded if the departure of bad luck. Sleep first, huh?” talk to Nining who doesn't want her husband in trouble.

“But Darling—“ Dony refused Nining's request.

“But what? Don't selfish. Responsibility is the main.”

“Iya-iya. Mas sleeping.” Dony pretended to close his eyes. However, occasionally glancing at Nining who was still loyal to him while looking face down at the mobile phone with a picture of her handsome husband's face.

“Yes, I'm still here. Just calm. I'm not gonna turn off the phone before Mas goes to sleep. Now go to bed first, huh?” Although Dony didn't say he wasn't asleep, Nining knew the slow peeking gestures.

Lama Nining did not talk—intentionally so that Dony can sleep—now no motion or sound. Nining watched carefully. Despite being far apart, she could tell if Dony had slept yet.

“Mas? Mr Dony? Did Dony sleep?” whispered Nining made sure her husband was okay yet and it turned out that she had gone to bed, much faster than she thought. A day of touring makes Dony tired, but he also misses his wife and turns out his drowsiness is much stronger than his longing for Nining.

Nining just smiled. That's her husband who always misses. “Good sleep, Honey. Sweet dreams, yes,” whispered Nining and then turned off her phone connection.

The morning has come. Nining as usual did her homework. The dawn is ready with clothesline that will be dried in front of the house.

“Eh, Nining ugly has come out at dawn. Must have helped Mas Dony. Foolish, he is. Want to be told to be with Nining,” Sri sneer while watching Nining who just want to open the door. Though Sri was idly sitting on the terrace, waiting for Dony who usually went out of the house at dawn.

Nining came out alone. He just brought a wet clothesline. Instantly the curious soul thrashed. He approached to make sure there was no Dony Dony's house. He peeked closer and closer until he finally could not control himself to go to Nining who was drying clothes.

“Mas Dony is not home. He again nginep at his parents' house,” replied Nining as is. He also continued to hang his clothes.

Sri was shocked and she started to think they had problems again. It's good news, Sri immediately behaved sweetly to provide additional problems.

“You're fighting again? Ouch, Jeng. If a man likes to mess around and little to go home to his parents, just stay. Does an immature child know? It's so bad that my man is like that. Make tired of heart. Yes, yes, Jeng. Separate, aja, separate. Must be a problem of triviality? Idih, really bad,” timpal Sri with the style of true pretent. Of course the goal is to make their stairs destroyed and he can have Dony completely.

Nining smiled. He continued to hang his clothes.

“I feel sorry for you, Jeng. You are beautiful, young, talented, pantes to get a good husband, attention and handsome too. Why do you still survive with Mas Dony who is often angry and goes home to his parents, anyway? If I were you .. I would definitely divorce her. Ngapain retained household that makes heartache,” added Sri so that Nining was affected.

Nining just smiled and did not want to answer Sri's words. He returned to dry wet clothes, without intending to refute Sri's speech.

“You are still young, surely if so many widows are queuing up to be your husband. No need to worry about not being able to change because I believe you are still selling even a second. Want to find a virgin, a rich widower without children, an old widower with abundant wealth or a second wife? I can help find your husband.”

“Since Mas Dony was like that. Loves snoring, likes to be alone. You saw that time Sinta came and said barren? It's all because of Mas Dony. Do not be fooled by her words. He is a great pinter for ngrayu.” Nining keeps getting checked for rotten stories about her husband. Although Nining did not reply, Sri continued to launch a provocateurs death row.

Nining started to remember about Sinta. Dony never claimed to have a girlfriend named Sinta, but why does Sri keep talking about the obscure woman? Nining begins to remember Dony's suspicions.

‘Why has Mba Sri kept ugly Mas Dony, huh? What did Mas Dony say was true? If Mba Sri has bad intentions with our household?’ nining thought inwardly. He did not glance and continued to frown, but his mind wandered far away.

“Know not? When Mas Dony was in school, he liked to skip and cheat. Once he was punished respect in the middle of the field for being caught jahilin second-class children. He was in fifth grade but still in jail. I was surprised by Dony's attitude. And it still continues to this day. Mas Dony does not want to be a dream husband,” Cerocos Sri even though Nining did not answer. Sri was engrossed in making up stories for Nining to believe.

“Udah, you stay in Mas Dony. I am sorry to see you continue to be hurt by Mas Dony.” Sri's speech began not to fall apart. Nining only shook her head weakly while laughing.

“Kok, are you laughing? Is something funny?” Sri pouted got no response from Nining.

Nining sighed then stood up even though there were still a lot of clothesline unfinished in the sun.

“Mas Dony is not angry with me anymore. Mba misunderstood,” replied Nining was not strong to hear Sri's story.

“Not angry, really, don't want to go home. Yes, I'm afraid if you fight again. Don't be shy. I will definitely help you get out of your trouble. What do you want me to help you with? Want me to upset Dony and say I'll take the lawsuit to court? Or want me to know the same lawyer who is reliable in managing divorce?” sri's speech was very encouraging, making Nining immediately stop his activities.
