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

Episode 45's

"Storms in the household never give a sign of when it will come. Most new couples are aware, when the boat has sunk." - Neng Rere

Human life will always be faced with problems. Whatever it is, there will always be time. If life feels calm without any obstacles, I suggest to be vigilant. The comfort zone is soothing, but our lives will continue to be demanded to get out of the zone.

One day as usual, Mas Yandri came home at an unexpected hour. This time, it wasn't a tangled face in sight. He immediately hugged and cried. And I know something happened.

"Neng, the company went bankrupt." Mas Yandri immediately opened his voice while still hugging me.

Honestly, I was quite shocked to hear that. But as much as I can resist my reaction. I have to calm my husband down, in this case, he who must have been hit more.

"Here sit down first. Don't talk yet. Just a minute."

I rushed to get cold water and also a plate of rice and side dishes. The clock hasn't been too long since lunch. I can assure you that Mas Yandri has not eaten.

I accompanied him to eat in the living room. In addition to giving her some time to calm down, I also need time to calm myself down. I also feel worried about our next life if something bad happens.

After Mas Yandri finished eating, I cleaned things up and brought the dirty dishes to the kitchen. Ma'am Tinah who is cleaning the kitchen and will almost wash dishes used to eat I told her to go home. It's quite privacy, I don't want any outsiders to know.

"The story slowly with Neng, what do you mean by the bankruptcy company?" I strengthened mentally to hear what Mas Yandri was going to say.

"The company announced via official email if the company went bankrupt. The company will be acquired by another company. Some branch offices will be closed and some employees will be laid off. He also came home on orders from the center. The office won't operate until there's a next decision." Mas Yandri explained with a lethargic face and voice.

I smiled, "Keep why did Mas tangle himself? There has been no official decision. Not necessarily the branch office here that will be closed. And not necessarily Mas became part of the laid-off employees," I said.

I can't explain exactly how I feel. I was very worried and anxious, but I had to look strong so that Mas Yandri would not get worse, even though his worries had not been proven.

Saying is easy, in fact my mind immediately branched everywhere.

***

After almost a week at home. The news about the certainty of Mas Yandri's position we received. I was cleaning the fridge when I heard a little prank coming from our room.

Seen by me, Mas Yandri was crying while hugging Dre tightly. Dre was indeed in the room accompanying Mas Yandri.

I slowly approached and hugged the two. From the reaction of Mas Yandri I saw, I already know what news he received.

***

"We stay in this city or go back to Bandung, Mas?" I asked when Dre had taken a nap and Mas Yandri already looked calmer.

"Mas does not want to talk about this, Neng," he said.

"No. We have to prepare from now on. The news that Mas received should not make Mas slumped continuously and lament the fate. Neng didn't like it," I expressed my wish.

Mas Yandri looked at me.

"Sorry, Neng."

I shook my head.

"I'm sorry if Neng has to say this. Neng did not like the attitude of Mas. No need to apologize to Neng, because Neng knows this is not Mas's fault. Rather than Mas apologizing, Neng preferred if Mas moved quickly and decided what we should do. Don't be afraid, Neng is always next to Mas. There is also Dre. We will both continue to accompany Mas step. Do not be weak by the test. For God gives us a test with the intention of strengthening."

Mas Yandri bowed. The tears I could see clearly from where I was sitting.

"Neng is ready to fight if Mas is also spirit. So, wake up! Raise your head! We're facing it together." I approached Mas Yandri and hugged him tightly.
