It's not my fault I chose to leave

Part 01's

"Mas, the rice is almost gone. What will the kids eat dinner with?" said Dinda when she saw her husband just came home from the workshop.

"That's none of my business. You should as a wife can manage finances well." ketus Bagas replied when he just returned from the workshop.

Dinda could only sigh deeply and her heart ached. Thinking about the fate of the children and also the nature of her husband who began to turn rough and not as soft as it used to be at the beginning of their marriage.

Bagas was a loving husband and also a concern for the family. However, because of this hobby Bagas seemed to forget that there are children and his wife who always pray for his fortune smoothly in his work. 

Sometimes soft and sometimes rough. That's how Dinda feels facing her husband who likes a plan. Everything changed, since Bagas hobby fishing and bird hunting every holiday work. Even to play with children there is no time.

Dinda went to the room, grabbed the bag and saw the wallet there was still money left. Most importantly, the children ate more than enough.

Then, Dinda immediately went to a nearby stall to buy rice and groceries for tomorrow so that her children would not starve.

Upon returning from the stall, Dinda immediately cooked a menu of food for her small family.

At night, the dish was served and Dinda called Dion and Leni who was in the room.

"Dion, Leni, yuk, let's have dinner!" take Dinda to her two young children.

"Come, Mom."

"We eat only potluck with eggs and mustard fry, yes!" dinda smiled even though her heart was tight.

Dion and Leni nodded at the same time. Then, Bagas came to join and sat down on the chair for dinner together.

They ate quietly and only the sound of spoons being mutually unpretentious. After the meal, Dinda brought the dirty dishes to the kitchen with Leni's help. Meanwhile, Dion sat with Bagas in the living room.

"Dad, buy me a toy tomorrow? I want a remote control car toy." said Dion, staring at his father's face.

"Yes, tomorrow if there is a windfall, I buy it." said Bagas while stroking his son's hair.

Finished cleaning the dirty dishes in the kitchen, Dinda immediately invited Leni to sleep as well as Dion. Because they have to go to school.

"Dion sleep first, dad! Don't forget to buy me a toy tomorrow." said Dion as he walked into the room.

Bagas only nodded his head when he heard his son's request.

Dion and Leni sleep in the same room. Dinda sang a children's song for the lullaby of her son and daughter.

After a few minutes, his two children fell asleep. Then, Dinda kissed them on the forehead in turn.

Dinda then exited the room and saw Bagas still watching the television show. "Mas, don't rest. Tomorrow is work and it's night." said Dinda.

"Yes, in a minute. Still nanggung this." said Bagas saw the ball show on television without seeing Dinda.

"Yes, already. I'll just go to sleep first. Don't forget to turn off the lights when you're done." said Dinda as she walked away from Bagas in the living room.

"Yes bringel." ketus Bagas.

In the room, Dinda can only smile bitterly about the state of the household. Staring at the ceiling of the room makes Dinda daydream and think about the cost of rent as well as school.

Dinda and Bagas contracted for over a year. Her mediocre life makes her household always a misunderstanding between herself and her husband.

Instead of thinking about the things that made him more stressed, Dinda finally chose to sleep early. Because, tomorrow must wake up early to cook, bathe their two children and drive school.

Not long after, Dinda fell asleep to her beautiful dreamland. Bagas still watches football on television.

Half an hour later, Bagas started yawning to hold back his sleepiness. The clock shows at eleven o'clock at night. Fortunately, the favorite football event won and made a satisfied smile towards Bagas.

"Hooaaammm, it's eleven o'clock at night" he said as he looked at the clock on the wall.

"I'd better get some sleep. Tomorrow leave for work early." said Bagas while standing towards his room after turning off the television.

Bagas walked over and opened the room. Apparently, his wife had slept well.

Then, Bagas laid his body beside Dinda and did not intermittently sleep Bagas headed to dreamland following Dinda who had slept earlier.
