For the Sake of a Consecrated Word (You Ignore the Wife's Child)
The Tongue of In-Law
"Now, allot your money for a month. Sufficient-enough do not waste. " The mother-in-law threw hundreds of thousands of money as much as five pieces to Yesha who was ironing the clothes of the residents of the house.
Yesha put the iron and picked up the money her mother-in-law threw, and put it in her negligent pocket.
"Eat him, find a job there. Do not usually just raise your hand asking for the husband's salary. You think your husband's a money-making machine. "
Yesha listened only to the babbling of her mother-in-law, who had become a daily meal for Yesha, and continued ironing.
"But if you think you can work what? Lha Wong is just a high school graduate. You should know yourself, you are not worth Dika. My son graduated from university and holds a bachelor's degree. You don't think what, first time in lamar Dika why do you want anyway. " Ayu's mother grunts with a ruffled waist.
"Let's see now, you're just being a prankster in our family. Usually just eat sleep and raise the hand asking for the husband's salary. Son-in-law doesn't know herself. " Ayu's mother finally left after being content to insult and revile Yesha.
After the departure of her mother, Yesha breathed a rough breath. Trying to stay strong every time he gets scorn and insults from his in-laws. Yesha always tried to hold back her tears so as not to come out in front of her mother-in-law, because she did not want to look pitiful. If the heart hurts too much, crying is hard. During her seven-year marriage to Dika, Yesha never once received good treatment from her mother-in-law and family.
Although it has not stayed one roof since two years ago, but still the mother-in-law always forced and asked him to come to the house of in-laws and do homework if Dika was going to work. After getting married to Yesha Dika's job crawled up, which initially only sales marketing has now risen to become a manager. Make Dika often out of town to take care of the branch office and rarely go home. It made Dika's family more arbitrary to Yesha.
"It's like a month's salary. The salary of the maids out there is bigger than this. I was like a daughter-in-law and a maid in my husband's own family home." muttered Yesha lamenting her fate.
After all her work was done, Yesha said goodbye to her mother-in-law to pick her son back home from school. Yesha's son Aksa is currently in Kindergarten B. Yesha always thought, is enough money for daily needs. Maybe even soon Aksa is willing to enter SD and it requires a lot of money to buy his school needs and other costs.
Fortunately Aksa was a submissive child, he always brought his own provisions from home and a bottle of drinking water. So a little helps ease Yesha's spending burden. Arriving at Aksa's school, Yesha immediately called Aksa who was waiting for her behind the school fence. Aksa immediately ran to his mother and immediately received a hug from Yesha.
"Mom, I want to buy ice cream. But don't be expensive, buy two thousand aja in the brothers who pass around. " said Aksa on his way home.
Hearing Aksa's request that Yesha's heart break, he realized that he had rarely bought snacks to his son. And maybe Aksa understood her mother's situation, so she didn't ask much.
"Want to get ice cream? " ask Yesha to make sure.
Aksa nodded.
"All right, let's go get some ice cream. " Yesha finally takes Aksa to an ice cream vendor near Aksa's school.
Aksa looks enthusiastic and very happy, because in the end he can feel ice cream.
"It's so good" said Aksa as she licked her ice cream.
Yesha smiled in response to her son's words.
Arriving at Yesha's house immediately cleansed himself, and performed the sublime prayer. After the prayer, he saw Aksa was eating lunch greedily. Although only with rice and tempeh, Aksa is always grateful today can still eat.
After their lunch was over, Yesha took her son to take a nap. But Yesha herself could not close her eyes. Yesha was still talking about her mother-in-law.
"Eat work, do not usually just ask for a husband. Basic benalu. " All these words and sentences are always heard in Yesha's ears.
"I have to start thinking about myself, I can't keep going like this. Moreover, the money given by the mother, the fewer the days. Though in hindsight the higher the position of Dika mas, the salary must be greater. But the money given to me is getting less and less." Think Yesha.
"I have to work, and make my own money. For the future of Aksa. Later in the afternoon I will go to Dian's house. Maybe Dian can give me a job. "
Ms. Dian is one of the rich people in the village where Yesha contracted the house. She is a widow with one married child. And has several clothing stores and boutiques owned by his son.
After thinking about it, Yesha finally closed her eyes.
**************
After this afternoon Yesha met Miss Dian, and told her grievances finally Dian mom wanted to help Yesha to work at one of her clothing stores. It made Yesha very happy, and she had hopes of making money to provide for her household.
At night, as usual Yesha was pensive in the living room with Aksa who was studying. Yesha did not realize that her husband had arrived.
"You say anyway, the husband came home instead of being welcomed and was not clear as it was. "reprovided Dika who did not like the behavior of his wife.
"Eh, I'm home. " Yesha was surprised but she immediately kissed the back of her husband's hand.
"Yes, why are you daydreaming? " ask Dika with a ketus.
"I stopped by Mom's house for a while and was offered a meal. Yeah, you've eaten."
"Oh, yes, that's it. "
Yesha was silent for a moment, she was wondering if she would say something.
"Mas." he said hesitantly.
"What." ketus Dika.
"Dika has more money? I was just given five hundred thousand dollars. I'm afraid it's not enough for a month's need mas. "ukar Yesha hesitated.
The one who heard Yesha's words straightened his back which had been leaning on since, and looked up at Yesha with guts.
"You know, I should be grateful, I still want to give you the rest of my salary. Enough, anyway just to eat you and your child.I also rarely go home right. " Said Dika with fury.
"But, it hasn't paid for Aksa's water, electricity and school fees.
"Even, basically you are the one who is not good at managing finances. I'm not working It's just asking. Both of you are just tau ga. "a spicy sentence thrown by Dika.
"Everyday, try first you do not ask to contract your own house, you certainly do not need to think about what to eat tomorrow. Because everything was in the handle of the mother "he continued to reach into the bag of pants and take a few pieces of money and throw it in front of Yesha.
Yesha was stunned to hear every sentence that Dika spoke and his treatment tonight to Yesha. Like Dika doesn't usually.
"Has Dika's brain been washed and poisoned by mother-in-law's speech? " thought.
Aksa who saw her father and mother struggling immediately hugged her mother. He's feeling scared.
"I'm sorry mom, son. You shouldn't have seen anything like this" Nisa said as she hugged her son back.
Then he nodded, holding all the tightness in his chest. He cannot cry in front of Aksa.
"Oh my God, if it's like this. I miss both my parents in the village. "inner.
"Why shut up, you cry? I also gave money. That's all you can do, crying as if you were the one who hurt the most. Your cry now will not be able to melt my heart, because I am fed up" said Dika scorned.
"And now I know why you're taking me out of the house. That's because you don't want to help at mom's house. So you can laze with your son. " The word Dika is becoming.
" Athaghfirullah azim thing, what more slander did you throw at me mas. Where did you get that kind of thinking? As long as you know mas, every day your mother always asked me to come to her house to clean her house, prepare food, iron all the clothes and even wash them too. And there were Maya and Dila, and now you're telling me that? " yesha said in disbelief.
"Huh, bullshit. My own mother told me that you work just lazily in this house. You think I believe you? big No's. "
Dika is still stubborn with all his opinions about Yesha. He no longer believed in Isaiah.
"Okey, I'll prove that I'm just lazing around. From tomorrow I won't come to my mother's house again, even if she drags me. I'll stay home and laze with Aksa. Right now stick to your stance, until you regret one day. "challenge Yesha.
"It turns out mom was right, you are a woman who does not know yourself, and does not know in profit" said Dika still scorned Yesha.
Yesha who could not stand it, she felt very hurt by Dika's accusations. Finally took Aksa into the room and put her to sleep. Because it is not good for the mental child who sees his parents fighting in front of him.
"Mother ga papa? " ask Aksa when they are in bed.
"Mother's okay baby, Aksa should go to bed soon because tomorrow Aksa has to go to school. "
"Mother must be strong and persevere, and wait for Aksa to grow up. Aksa will protect the mother from bad people. "the word Aksa tightens his embrace on the Mother.
Hearing that made Yesha's chest feel tight. Yesha was determined that tomorrow she would do anything to survive for herself and her child. Yesha no longer cared about her husband and father-in-law. His heart was already feeling very tired.
