Husband, If Your Father Is On Your Mother, Your Sins Are On Me

Episode 40's

For some time there was no news from Ms. Susi and her husband. Bu rt said if Bu Susi's husband agreed when asked to sign a statement will not be violent again.

***

I was at Bu Indah's shop with Bu Jejen and his gang.

"The reprimand from Pak rt yesterday succeeded yes. Ms. Susi's husband has never been angry again," said Ms. Romlah. He knew it clearly because his house was right next to Susi's house.

"Alhamdulillah, the problem means that it is settled. Hopefully there is nothing like it here anymore" Mumun chimed in.

We who were present simultaneously said Aamiin.

"But, my husband hasn't changed completely. He still likes smudges. Kasian Bu Susi pontang panting herself find a way to keep eating," Ms. Indah open her voice.

I looked at Beautiful Mom. Usually Bu Indah just be a good listener, somehow I catch something different in her tone.

"What's wrong, Mom?" I, the curious one, asked.

"Why-why, just that, I said Neng ngeliatnya. Yesterday here to take a liter of rice first. I can't bear it, just so happened to me just nyetok rice. I love you more."

"Yes, kasian. Until you have to minjem money everywhere to be able to eat," said Bu Jejen.

I nodded in understanding. "What did her husband get sick?"

"If there is no mistake liver Neng, so can not be too cape" Ms. Mumun replied.

We all fell silent for a moment. I chewed on the second fry when I saw that Bu rt was heading to our place.

"Where's rt from?" ask Bu Jejen directly.

Bu rt's red face looks like a boiled crab.

"From Bu Jejen's atm. Take the money for Susi."

"Ooh, Miss Susi minjem to mom too? To me also minjem," said Ms. Romlah.

"I also minjemin to Susi"

"Yes me too, I'm ready to eat."

"To me the rice minjem, but the rice minjem time, yes I love it."

It turns out that almost all the mothers helped Susi. I see, his life is certainly in a bad state. I slowly approached Ms. Rt who was drinking box tea,

"Bu rt going to Susi's house? I'm coming, huh? There's a little chemo at home. Perhaps it is useful" I whispered.

Bu rt nodded.

"Yes, Miss Rere, we'll be there together."

***

I rushed home to pick up some groceries for Susi. Mrs Rt is still waiting at the stall. Because I felt that the basic food was incomplete, I bought a few more for additional.

"Bu Indah, want sugar, eggs, same oil dong."

Bu Indah nodded and deftly prepared my order.

"Create Susi ya Neng?" tanyanya slow.

I nodded in agreement.

"That's...,"

I looked at the Beautiful Mom. It seems like there is something he wants to say.

"Why Ma'am?" I whispered

"That's Neng, hmmm how about that?" Beautiful Mom whispered.

"It's nothing, by the way," I whispered.

"Why are we whispering the hell Neng? It's just that we're doing the same, ma'am rt."

Hearing Ms. Beautiful's words, I laughed loudly.

"Hahaha, yes Mother first. I want to say rich is hard," I still laugh. Beautiful Mom laughed too.

Ms. Rt who heard us laughing approached.

"Why laugh?" Ms. rt was curious.

Beautiful Mom looked at me then opened her voice.

"Look, ma'am rt, I don't feel good about how to say it. Only long ago I began not to sreg aja same Bu Susi. What yes, I am not concerned. But Susi often took my merchandise and has never been paid until now. While I also need to muterin modal," Bu Indah said at length.

Ms. Rt and I exhaled a long breath together.

"Where yes, I am also confused," said Bu rt.

"Yes already Beautiful Mom, later if Susi comes here again, say sorry, I can not luggage first. His capital is limited." I'm giving you advice.

"Yes, said Ms. Rere," Ms. Rt chimed in on my words.

Bu Indah nodded. "Yes, Ma'am, Neng. I'll try."

***

Ms. Rt and I have almost arrived at Ms. Susi's house, precisely in front of Ms. Romlah's house.

"Sstttt."

"Sstt."

"Sstt."

"What's the matter, Miss Romlah?" Ms. rt whispered. Apparently a whispering virus is hitting rt here.

"So, I want to take banana leaves to make pepes...,"

"That's good," I cut

"Sstttt," Miss Romlah put a finger on her lips.

"Oh okay," I made a move with my lips.

"So I want to take a banana leaf right next to Ms. Susi's room. I knew she was talking to her husband again. Bu rt must hear," Ms. Romlah walked slowly to where she took the banana leaves. Mom and I followed him slowly.

"Later if you really get caught by the police how bang?" the voice of Susi.

"Wouldn't they, these people wouldn't dare." The male voice I recognized as the voice of Ms. Susi's husband was heard.

"But you the acting has to be good. Rich yesterday again."

Me, Ms. Rt and Ms. Romlah looked at each other in wonder. Slowly, I pulled out my phone and started recording sounds.

"Ready bang, later I will shout again rich yesterday," Susi said.

"Well, you have to be good acting. Let the real rich abis be persecuted. So it's the Kasian people. You can later reason if your brother sometimes still likes to be angry at home.

Anyway like brother said earlier, make citizens feel sorry for you. After that you can pinjem money, souvenirs, and others. Not to mention if there is a gift from here. Kan tolerable. Brother doesn't need work, but our needs are met."

"Every dear brother, trust Susi, our plan this time must work. After that, Susi wants to minjem money to Neng Rere. He's easy to get rid of. Good thing when he came here the other day, he was nervous. So we can act when he comes."

I glared in disbelief. Wow, this is totally unexpected.

***

As planned. Susi is back to doing something. She acted as if she had been wronged by her own husband. I know, I chose to stay home when Ms. Jejen picked up.

"Bu Jejen, I have a headache, Ms. Jejen herself. If I maxain there fear me emotion. I can beat that guy."

Ms. Jejen nodded in understanding and passed away after saying hopefully I will get well soon.

***

The incident I listened to the talk of Ms. Susi and her husband only known to me, Ms. Rt and Ms. Romlah. Ms Romlah said she heard when Ms Susi and her husband planned to use makeup equipment to give a bruising effect.

Ms. Rt asked us not to spread the word about this. Me and Mom Romlah. Ms. Rt said she would discuss with her husband about this matter.

***

Tok tok!

I can already guess who is behind the door. And right, the person I was referring to showed his face before me.

"I want to minjem Neng Rere's money" Susi said.

I was silent for a while and decided to follow the game.

"I'm sorry, Susi, if I may know what I'm doing?"

"Make Neng Rere eat, my husband still does not want to work and still likes to be angry," he replied.

I smiled, "What time is Mom?"

Susi lifted her face looking at me.

"Ber Neng, swear to God."

I clenched and subconsciously snapped at him. "Mom!"

Susi's mom in front of me jumped in shock.

"I don't like to carry the name of God to launch the plan of mother yes!"

Immediately I pulled out my phone and played the recording of the conversation the other day.

The face in front of me was shocked. There were no words he could say because the evidence I had was so strong.

"Please stop, ma'am," I said slowly.

"Please stop taking advantage of the concerns of the people in Mother for your own benefit."

Susi just kept quiet.

"Mom got a choice from me. Go ahead and repeat Mom's plan at the risk I'll spread this tape, or stop now and I'll act as if this tape never existed."

After being silent for a while, Ms. Susi nodded slowly.

"I'm sorry to go home, Neng" he said softly.

I took a long breath. "Please Ma'am. Please remember my words yes."

I stared at his back who was walking away with mixed feelings.
