"You're why I'm like a kid playing all the way, bring Algi back. You're not like Algi, you're selfish!" andra.


"You are selfish, angry for no reason." - Regina.


"No excuses? You should have realized why I got this angry. All this time I kept quiet Re every time my mother complained about you, but yesterday I was really embarrassed Re. Why did you ask Melly for rice? You are my salary money so you ask for rice to Melly, it turns out that is true what my mother said you are wasteful and can not manage finances well, Re. I'm ashamed and I'm disappointed in you Re." Andra said.


"Geez, Ndra! So you've been indignantly unclear all this time because of it. Oh, geez. I did minjam rice to Melly two kilos yesterday because of what? Because our rice runs out while Mr. De subscriptions our rice the day after the new coming. So I think instead of buying in a stall that you know for yourself the situation there is like what all expensive so I went to his house Melly minjam rice for a while, the day after Mr. De Rice came and I changed." said Regina.


"But you're also too wasteful, Re. If shopping is always excessive for what you buy every day fish or chicken for miles and other excessive shopping" said Andra again.


"The hydra! I was shopping too much because of what? You know we have a baby so there's no way I have to shop every day to the stall so I deliberately overspend for stock so I don't have to go every day to the stall. You know at home how many people we have to live with. So, you're not exactly clear with me just because of that. It's not me like a kid, but you're Ndra." said Regina.


Andra was silent for a moment, pulling and then breathing heavily "I'm sorry, Re. I stress my mother almost every day calling and complaining about you, at first I was not affected but for a long time I became affected. Especially yesterday, when I was so tired of working all day my mother called and got angry she said you often minjam rice to Melly make mom embarrassed."


"Jeez, Ndra. I did take rice to Melly but it wasn't often, it was once and it was yesterday. I don't know what else your mother gave you, I'm tired. I'm tired of Ndra with all of your mother's behavior, I'm confused that your mother is far away in the village but why would she know all of my gestures and report them to you" Regina said.


"Once .. I'm sorry, Yang. We go home, you're ashamed of your mother if she finds out." Andra said.


"You take it easy, I'm not your mother who reports anything to you, Ndra. My mother doesn't know about our problems, she only knows that I came to see her." said Regina.


"We go home tomorrow, because I ran away from work and no one asked for permission. I lied to my mother" Andra said again.


"God. Why are you so, Ndra." Regina surprise.


"I was panicking you suddenly left that way" replied Andra.


"Where do you know I'm leaving?" ask Regina.


"Mirna called me, who." replied Andra.


"Already, Yang. I'm tired, we'll be home tomorrow." said Regina.


"Yes, Yang. Yuk, we rest already the night Sorry me, yes.'' said Andra.


Regina simply nodded slowly, Then the two took a break releasing all the whack of fatigue.


The next day after lunch they returned to West Kutai.


Arriving at West Kutai Regina went straight into the house to put Algi who had fallen asleep into the room, when passing Mirna's room and Milka Regina accidentally heard Mirna talk on the phone.


Regina was surprised to hear the other talk, she put Algi into the room and returned to Mirna's room. Mirna who was busy reporting all the events to Marisda was surprised to see Regina suddenly appear.


"Sister Regina, when's coming sister." Mirna stuttered while turning off her phone.


"Must." replied Regina briefly.


Mirna is misbehaved and ashamed of Regina.


"No papa I'm not angry, Mir. You are not married so you do not understand what it is like to be married, later when you are married I hope you do not experience and feel what I am experiencing at this time" said Regina.


"Sorry, brother." Mirna was embarrassed.


"I'm just a little disappointed in you, Mir. I've looked at you like my own sister but we can do this to me" Regina said.


"Sorry, Brother. Aunty who means Mirna and calls Mirna every time to ask her all the activities you do and what you buy."


Regina was surprised to hear Mirna's confession, she did not expect that her in-laws had come that far.


And every time after getting a report from Mirna then Marisda will directly contact Andra and scold Andra. At first Andra never responded to any complaints that came from his mother, but over time Andra began to be affected and eventually riots often occurred in their household.


"Yes already, Mir. Everything has happened, I hope you don't repeat it." said Regina.


"I'm sorry, Brother."


Regina immediately went out to meet Andra, he did not tell Andra what he knew because he did not want the problem to be big again.


Two years have passed since the incident, but Marisda continues to report the no-no to Andra. And of course small fights often occur due to the actions of Marisda.


At the end of 2014 the project of the company where Andra worked was completed and they returned to live in Kutai Kartanegara. They live in the house of Andra's parents, five kilometers from Katarina's house. And as long as Andra's unemployed Marisda never contacts them.


Regina is heavy-hearted to stay at her in-laws' house because she knows that it will inevitably cause trouble one day. But considering Andra who just stopped working and did not have income Regina was forced to follow Andra's desire to live there.


During unemployment Andra and Regina filled the time with gardening beside the house, a wide variety of vegetables they planted. Sometimes, the crops are brought by Regina and sold around the village.


Already three months Andra was unemployed, finances were running low and to connect life Regina worked on one of the children's game rides. Andra babysits Algi at home.


As long as Andra is unemployed, his family never contact them even if they just ask for news.
