Lukman POV.
after a debate that eventually led to the surrender of all my salary to Diah, my wife.now, I am in the guest room of my sister's house, Yuni. every time I have a problem she is always the place I complain, I am, especially since there is a mother in this house.
so far I do not understand the way Diah's mind, why he kekeh does not want to help me and even make it difficult for me to get a loan from Rey, even though I am her husband, and I am in trouble. although I do know if my distress is due to Brother Yuni, and I admit it is indeed the fault of Brother Yuni. but mother always said it was natural that Yuni brother used my money because he was the one who had accommodated mama in this house which should be my duty, whereas from the first time I married Diah I had persuaded mama to stay with me and also Diah but mama who always said reluctantly. he said no one can stay one roof in-law with his son-in-law, so mama prefers to stay with sister Yuni. moreover, the two older children Yuni is close to mama and sister Yuni does need a mother to help take care of her two children while she works to make an order for her printing customers.
"how Lukman would you be silent just treated like that by your wife's family, you are the head of the household can be defeated by your own wife.mama anyway do not want to know ya man, man, mama has to get the ration money as usual" said mama makes me dizzy.
"i also ya man, inget loh make your own ponakan.don't be stingy" said ka Yuni increasingly make me dizzy. I was also surprised by my sister's husband who said he paid a dozen million but gave Brother Yuni only four million per month, where did all that money go to my brother he gave not reach half.
"i can't do anything ma, mama knows for herself Diah and Rey how.after all this is indeed the fault of Brother Yuni ma, it should be Kak Yuni who replaced it not me who has to be dizzy himself" my answer made my mother squint her eyes.
"you dare to say rich with mama, huh!! mama is also your duty Lukman, there is still your responsibility to mama. and Yuni is also your brother, what harm do you give her rights as a sister if only you help your brother who is lacking. do you not pity your brother until he has to slam his own bones making his printed order, it is only for daily needs man" said mama slightly snapped. I'm getting dizzy hearing what my mom says, I can't believe Rey could be that smart to face me when none of them had ever dared to do that to me who was always so nice to her.
did Diah not tell all my treatment to him and say something ugly about me to his family, this can not be allowed. I have to talk to Diah so that he does not act more arbitrarily to me.
"it's my mom, Lukman is dizzy. Lukman went home first, for the monthly ration mama will all be Lukman love.but not Diah love how much for mama, but if for brother Yuni. I can not ma, but, this is also for the sake of my household.however I love Diah very much, and I gamau to lose him ma" I replied with my head lowered.
mama turned her eyes to hear what I said, as well as Sister Yuni with a look of disbelief because I defended Diah more than she and her mother.
"god Lukman, you want to be an ungodly child, you don't follow what you say! remember man, you got a good job too because your mother's prayer is not because your wife.after all you worked there too before meeting him, you should realize that" said mama again influenced me, after all, mama influenced me, actually there is a point also what my mother said.I have worked before knowing Diah, indeed, and for my salary problems that continue to grow, yes, because of my ability to finally reach the delivery target so much that I get a bigger salary than before.
I didn't understand what you said, I focused on walking around from Yuni's house and then back to my house with my son and my wife.
"just got home?" ask Diah when I just got into the house.
"iyaaa" I replied briefly, Diah did not bother him more fun watching tv because Nayla and also our baby was sleeping on a springbed mattress that he brought from the house when we married first.
"Diah" call me.
"what's wrong?" answer with a little cynicism.
"for the monthly money of Yuni's mother and sister,,,," I said disconnected from Diah's words.
"just calm, I will still divide the ration of mother as well as mama.we have to fair it? but not with Sister Yuni" said Diah to make me bow my head.
"why is there nothing for Sister Yuni Diah? I gave my niece, not my sister Yuni" I replied, giving my wife some understanding.
"but the nominal remains the same, right Diah?" ask again.
" it depends on the rest of the money I hold after I divide for all our expenses, if the rest is a little yes I give a little if a lot yes I give according to the rations you give to mother and mother but for sister Yuni I still do not give me only give her child for snacks" the answer made me turn my eyes.
"why is that Diah?" I stared at her face, which was still focused on watching tv.
"why? you think they're your responsibility? they have a husband and also a father, even mas aja never minded to give to the child mas themselves so far. why bother giving to an older son Yuni who clearly has a father who has a good job and a big salary" he replied with a sharp tone.
I was silent to hear what Diah said, since I had never heard him say such a thing to me, but this time he was very attentive to answering the question I asked.
"yes, I'm not allowed to do it, it's not important not to take care of the money continues.I'm tired of going to sleep" he continued without looking at me.
"you are being defended by your sister now so much bolder to me and disrespect me as a husband" I murmured that I thought Diah could still hear.
sure enough, he opened his eyes again and sat facing me with a look of obstruction.
"appreciate? not wrong, though? have you appreciated me until you yourself asked to be appreciated by me? less how I as your wife mas who can accept when you give money alas, perfunctory, holding hunger during the day because food should be enough until night not to mention to set aside for you to eat after work, if your wife was someone else, you might be divorced with disrespect by this time." she replied by pressing every word that came out of her mouth so as not to wake Nayla and her sister.
actually I was quite surprised to hear what Diah said, is that not enough money that I give to have to hold back hunger during the day to set aside food for you or just her wits to make me feel guilty.
"where maybe that money isn't enough Diah, Nayla's snacks aren't much. Besides the assumption is that only you two eat while I only get the rest of you" my answer that even made him round his eyes did not accept what I said.
"try saying it again! I asked, have I ever given you leftover food? oohh well means from now on I will give
you're the leftover food I and Nayla have for what they say to be true, and we can be more frugal. won't we?" he replied casually which even made me laugh to hear his words.
indeed, all this time that I saw Diah always set aside his own side dishes for me that he would put on the refrigerator one door and covered with a small food hood, but somehow such words come out of my mouth.
"what the fuck are you, Diah, how insolent that you dare to give my husband the rest of you and Nayla. just be careful until that happens" I replied making him laugh a little.
"mas, was it not you who asked to be given leftover food? why are you so bad now! therefore mas if you say it is guarded do not just make a snap!!" replied Diah staring intently at me who glared matal at him.
"you've made my mood ugly" he continued to surprise me with his slightly rude words in my opinion.
I fell silent and let him sleep, then I went back to the front to smoke and be alone.
