Love Brother Courier

8. Must Be Ordinary to Live Difficult

The hour hand showed at 8 p.m. The sound of a motor entering the yard. Apparently Shaka just got home from work. His face looks very tired. Maybe because there are many items that he must deliver to his customers 

Keyla who heard the sound of Shaka's motorbike arrived at the house, immediately exiting her room to welcome Shaka's arrival.

Chequek.

Shaka opened the front door and closed it again. As soon as he turned around, he was amazed to see the smile of a beautiful girl wearing a dress that was just above the knee. Her white skin, long hair, and pink lips seemed to provide coolness for Shaka after tired of working a full day. Unknowingly, Shaka came back with that smile.

“You just got home? Have you eaten yet? I'm ready for dinner for you,” Keyla said as she walked closer to Shaka.

Shaka can breathe in the fresh scent of flowers from the girl who is now in front of him now. Really, her heart was so happy to be home from work welcomed like this!

“Kok on them? Have you eaten yet?” repeat Keyla who was looking strangely at the silent Shaka while smiling to herself.

“Ekhem..” Shaka cleared his throat to neutralize his awkwardness. “I've eaten. Want to take a shower first,” replied Shaka who made Keyla pout.

“Yah..pandah I was ready for dinner for you,” said Keyla.

“Indeed I told you to prepare dinner for me? Naw, right? Yes udah!” shaka said lightly.

When he was about to enter his room, Shaka had a look at Keyla's room which happened to open the door. He saw that the room was clean and filled with some stuff there. He also gave up the intention to go into his room.

“You bought all these things?” shaka asked who was now in front of Keyla's room while continuing to look one by one at the items Keyla bought this afternoon.

“Iya. The room is still empty. So I bought some things I needed. I use a fan really, do not use AC,” Keyla replied.

“Ngapain you buy these things? You're here only for a moment, most weekly. Waste of money know. After we separated, there is no way we can stay together again,” said Shaka.

Keyla pursed her lips. He does not like Shaka to keep talking about his marriage that must end soon.

“If I move later the things I bring. Where would I sleep if there was no bed? Trus clothes I want to put where if there is no closet? I can't sleep on the floor. Later I hurt all,” grumbled Keyla.

“Every once in a while get used to a hard life. There is a sofa bed in the living room, you can use it to sleep. Your clothes can be stored in a suitcase. No need for a closet. You have to save money, you have to get used to..”.

Tok to tok.

“Excuse me..”.

The sound of knocking on the door from outside stopped Shaka who was nagging his wife.

“Who is night-night visiting?” grouse Shaka.

Keyla just shrugged her shoulders. Shaka opened the door of his house.

Shaka was surprised to see the Chairman of his RT was already at his doorstep. Moreover, the man came with several other citizens. Shaka feels dejavu. It was like this morning in Keyla's room. The head of RT came with the citizens raiding him. Did it happen again this time?

“Sorry, Mr. RT. What is it, these nights you come to my house with other residents?” ask Shaka in astonishment.

“Begini, Mas Shaka. Sorry to interrupt his break. I got a report of a woman living in Mas Shaka's house, is that right, Mas? Because after me and other citizens, Mas Shaka is not married. So, the rule here if you are not married should not bring others to live together if there is no family relationship,” asked Mr. RT at length.

That's right, really. It must have something to do with Keyla. Inner Shaka.

“Betul, Sir. I got married this morning. And the woman you mean is my own wife,” replied Shaka who made the residents whisper to each other. Some are surprised, there are also heartache because Shaka already has.

“Sorry, Mom. Can I see the marriage certificate? It's nothing Mas, let everything be clearer,” said Mr. RT.

“That's fine, sir. There must be evidence. If just a talk, I can also say to be Mas Shaka's wife,” timpal one of the citizens who is none other than Widya.

Shaka turned to the source of the voice. She knew it was Widya who liked to get her attention. But Shaka never hugged him.

“There, Sir. I'll take it in a moment.”

“OK, Mom. Please.”

Shaka went into his room and took his marriage certificate. Lucky earlier after the completion of the marriage contract, he brought a sound of marriage certificate from the local KUA.

When he came out, the citizens' eyes were stunned to see the beauty of Shaka's wife. Keyla's appearance was even very different from the citizens who lived there. From the tip of the hair to the tip of the foot there are no blemishes. Even her nails just look beautifully groomed.

“Wid, Wid, that's Mas Shaka's wife? Pantesan Mas Shaka married her, not us. My nails are inferior to her nails. Must be diligent care at the salon tuh,” whispered Ema to Widya.

“Ck, what the hell, anyway?! Just regular!” widya muttered that she did not like it because Ema praised Keyla's beauty.

Shaka also gave evidence of his marriage letter to the Chairman of RT. Upon being seen by the man, he nodded, the letter is indeed valid. Shaka is officially married to Keyla.

“How, Sir? Is it the letter?” ask Shaka.

“Iya, Mas. Letter's legitimate. My mother, so it has been proven that the woman who lives with Mas Shaka is his wife. So, I hope there are no more problems in the future,”, Mr. RT said to its citizens.

“Wah, lucky that Mas Shaka has a beautiful wife like this. Congratulations Mas, Mba,” said the wife of the Chairman of RT kindly while greeting Shaka and Keyla alternately.

“Sama-sama, Mom. Mom is beautiful too. Oh yes, introduce my name Keyla, Ma'am,” said Keyla kindly.

“Oh, Mba Keyla Yes. Hope it continues, Mba. I pray quickly to get momongan, yes,” said Bu RT which guaranteed other residents except Widya and her friends.

“Ya already, then we say goodbye first Mas, Mba. Sorry to interrupt the break time,” said the chairman of RT.

It was only then that the group of citizens left the courtyard of Shaka's house. After they leave, Shaka and Keyla return to the house.

“Neighbors here on kepo, yes. In my house used to be indifferent to each other,” said Keyla.

“Different housing rules, Key,” Shaka said. “Yes already, I want to take a shower,” Shaka continued.

“You really don't want to eat, huh?”

“I've eaten.”

“Yes, I've kept it in the fridge just for the food.”

“Refrigerator?” As Shaka remembers, there was no fridge in his house.

“Iya. Let it not stale. Tomorrow can be heated. You said you had to save.”

“You bought a refrigerator?” shaka asked in a slightly high voice.

Keyla. He forgot Shaka's permission to buy a refrigerator too.

“Sorry, later electricity I help pay,” said Keyla with a downcast face.

Shaka let out a rough breath. There has not been a day his house has been filled with the same kind of Keyla. He only lived there temporarily.

“I'm not angry about electricity. But you are wasteful. It's too wasteful. Your money could run out if you go shopping for equipment like that, Key. You have to learn frugally. It's for your own good,” Shaka's nag.

“Sorry..” Keyla's getting down. He did not dare to look at Shaka.

“Pantes aja citizens on dateng. You buy that much stuff, it must be the attention of the citizens. Remember, your status is now my wife, the wife of a courier. Not the wife of a businessman who can shop anything at will,” added Shaka again.

Keyla raised her face to look at Shaka. He doesn't like to hear Shaka is too self-deprecating. All work for him is the same.

“Why tell me about your work? I'm proud to be your wife, no matter what your job. I'm not ashamed to have a courier husband,” Keyla said.

“I tell my job what, let you remember, reasonable not with my salary is not how can buy expensive items in an instant? Housing here is the same elite housing where you live differently, Key. And as long as you're here, please obey the rules here. Just a week. Se-ming-wong. After that it's up to you to do what,” ketus Shaka then enter his room by slamming the door.

Braaakkckk.

Keyla was shocked to the point that her body jumped a little to hear the sound of the door slamming. Without being held back, his tears just dripped. He felt guilty for offending Shaka. He was also disappointed his good intention to welcome the husband well, even ended in a fight.
