Trust And Self-Esteem
“What do you mean, Fi? Don't be so prejudiced. You said yourself that man should be khusnuzon, why are you so yourself?”
“The matter of prejudice is not me saying, Mas, but our religion. I know about the prophecy that Mas believes in,” Usfi said.
“ Mass ... Everything that happens to man is a test of God, whatever it is, including good and evil. So, why fear something that is not necessarily the truth, just because humans are considered smart? Does a human besides a fortune teller mean that stupid?”
Usfi said it was not because he knew it but he had already dug up information from some people around the post belonging to Anwar and also Marini with the help of Nafisa at that time.
“Usfi, do you know what you are about the prophecy? Listen, yeah! If until I get knocked down or santet, not only you lose, but Maisha is also a child, I do not want it to happen.”
“Mas, in fact it's just the wits of the astrologer to seek profit from Mas, there is no way the arrival of reinforcements can be protected by the presence of a woman, even though the all-protective is only God, what can bring good and evil is only God. All good and evil will not befall us except by His permission.”
Usfi stopped talking for a moment just taking a breath and saw how Anwar reacted.
“You're outrageous jealousy, Fi!”
“I'm not blind jealous, because I think, maybe the fortune teller wants Mas to finally marry Marini and continue to believe in all her predictions ... Try to think, if it happens, how will our lives be filled with fear, it is better to surrender with God.”
“Yes, I have resigned with Allah, have also prayed every day!”
“But if you go to a shaman or a psychic, the Mas worship charity will not be accepted for 40 days. So, it's free, Mas!”
“Ah! Already do not talk, do not be a good pretent!”
“Ngak Mas, it is not a lecture, I remind because I love, I have believed all this time that, Mas went to work, but it turned out to be a lie! Which wife would her husband lie to? There is no, Mas! Whereas if the husband lies with the wife, it is the same as lying to yourself!”
“Already, want to or not want, will not be equal to self-esteem!”
“How much do you mean, Mas!”
“You must remember who you were, if not for me .. You will not be able to bring a car, do not have a nice house, can not be the boss, who has nothing, his job is also just a teacher njai, where have a lot of money can buy a car!”
“Astagfirullah! Why the hell is that a problem, anyway? I know myself, so I never demand anything from you, Mom! Home, car and job boss, not my own. If Mas now wants me to return no problem, I go home all for Mas! I also did not bring a car, so I can go straight to Abah's house!” Usfi immediately turned around leaving Anwar, after saying so
Anwar was silent for a moment with an eye that could not be separated from Usfi while thinking about the truth of his words. He did give it all out of his affection and need. He bought a pretty nice house for Usfi near the vegetable post, taught him to do business, and drive a car, after he intended to open a branch.
“Wait!” anwar said after seeing Usfi's back that was getting away and going down the stairs, “Usfi! Where are you going?”
Usfi stopped, and said, “You go back to Abah's house, keep saying that Mas Anwar wants to marry again, I don't want to be honeyed again, Mas!”
“Who wants to marry again, anyway?”
“If you don't want to marry again, what do you want? Do sins continue with the same woman? Yes!”
“I don't want to marry him! I—“
“You cheated? Do not feel sorry for yourself, make more hassle, added work and responsibility? Ngurusin two wives aja hard, kok want to add another wife!”
Usfi continued walking down the stairs. While Anwar's phone rang he received the call with a look of agitated face. Just as the girl reached the sidewalk, she was called by her husband who was already standing near her car.
“Why?” ask Usfi ketus.
“Come! Come home now with me, Asthma is in the hospital!”
“Allahummagfirlanaa, laahaula walaquwata illa billah!” Usfi said as he quickly followed Anwar into the car.
He did not think of the few pieces of clothing and bags left behind in the hotel, as all of his precious objects were already in the bag he was carrying at the moment.
The journey from the post in the city to their hometown, takes a lot of time, although, Anwar uses his new output car at high speed, still not as fast as using a helicopter.
Usfi had fallen asleep during the trip, and only woke up when Anwar stopped his car to refuel, at a depot not too far from where they lived.
In that place also once Usfi met with Gani and made a scene.
At the same time, there was a bus that stopped to refuel as well, making Usfi turn his head and look at the bus while waiting for Anwar to pay.
“Bang Gani? Where the hell's he from? Does he not work?” her inner self inadvertently sees Gani sitting by the side of the bus window, right next to her. The man stared at him with a complicated eye, while fatigue was clearly etched on his face.
“Who is he?” ask Anwar while putting on his seat belt. She saw Usfi staring at the man from behind the window of the bus that stopped next to her car, intensely, not even realizing that her husband had gone inside.
