All night As could not close his eyes, his heart was filled with all sorts of mixed flavors into one.
About the shame, because of having to hitchhike in the house of In-laws with the unemployment status of 5 Children, about self-esteem that suddenly becomes very low, about regret can not make the family happy, about the family, about the fear of facing the future even about the fear of losing the sincere love of Mar because of his present condition.
"O Allah, what if I could not get what I had at that time, could Mar's loyalty slowly recede to me? what if my life can no longer improve as it used to, is it possible that Mar can survive beside me??"
Wail As in heart.
He sat up from the fall, his eyes looking at his wife and his Sons, his tears slowly falling with a heart he could no longer bear alone.
Pretending to be strong in front of the Son and Wife as he was doing was the heaviest blow he had to endure and deal with, in fact he was so fragile at this time, he was, but he didn't want to look good in his family's eyes.
As the head of a family with five children, he is now aware that he has failed to become a family fighter.
As took a deep breath, threw it away slowly then rubbed the corner of his eye.
As again stretched himself, closing eyes that felt very spicy.
Without realizing it, the woman beside him was just pretending to sleep, Mar noticed himself since then even cried inwardly.
Mar know, the inner conflict that is being felt by her husband, like standing in the error of the road, who does not know where to go, is no more like a broken nose, swaying udders in the open ocean.
Mar could no longer hold back his tears when he saw As crying in silence even though his heart said to be strong and calm.
Mar flips his body to smother his mouth with a blanket, to dampen his so that no one knows his cry tonight.
Mar does not want to add to the burden of her husband if he sees her crying.
The night was getting colder as their hearts were getting frozen.
They were covered with the rest of the tears, they fell asleep silencing the grief, restraining and hiding it from the world.
Towards dawn, Mar wakes up as Baby Hen whines.
Mar, hugging and breastfeeding Hen, until finally back to sleep soundly.
Realizing the baby is back to sleep, Mar gets out of bed, out of the room to the kitchen.
As a Child who is currently hitchhiking status on his parents, Mar knows himself enough, especially now that his son is five, of course it will be very troublesome Mak and Bakya.
Although, Masning and Bulromi never minded their return, there was still a feeling of shame and unkindness in Mar.
As much as possible, he will take the heart of his parents to help whatever he can.
Mar immediately warmed up the water, to make his parents coffee, checked the kitchen cabinet, what he could cook for breakfast this morning.
"Mar, are you awake? that fast?"
Masning asked as soon as he saw Mar was busy in the kitchen.
"Eh...Yes Mak, mumpung Hen and the others are still good"
Answer Mar.
"Here you go, you just rest.Your baby will wake up, let Mak do it"
Masning approaches Mar, intending to take over Mar's work.
"No need to Mak, it's okay to let me. You want to pray, right?"
Mar refused politely.
"Yes, it's a Mar banana, we just fry it for breakfast, Mak pray first"
Masning pointed at the package above the closet.
"Yes Mak"
Anguk Mar.
After making breakfast, Mar performed his Fajr, in his Prayer, tucked in Prayer for Her Husband in order to get a job immediately, so that his life would not depend on his parents.
As who saw Mar praying for a very long time was sure, that there was his name in Mar's prayer.
As followed the prayer before he started today for a great struggle.
"Ma... I went looking for a job first.. Pray good luck"
Pamit As before leaving.
"Yes Pa... I will always wish you the best."
Mar kissed As's hand, a kiss landed on Mar's eel.
"Mar... You don't think too much about the bad heart here, Mak Sama Bak never mind you guys here, even we're happy this house is crowded"
Bulromi tried to guess the contents of his daughter who was daydreaming after As said goodbye.
"Yes Bak, thank you very much, but still, I'm awkward Bak, plus my son is now Five Bak."
Reply Mar lowered.
"Sstttt, it's Mar..Want your child ten, or more.it's not a problem kid."
Mar smiled even though his eyes could not lie, that he was holding in shame.
In the middle of the road As tried to think, where the goal of his footsteps.
"Did I go back to panglong, see Akiyong for another job? But it feels impossible!!"
Although he had already been declared innocent, but did He still have the face to return to meet Akiyong after 2 times the fire.
He threw out that intent from inside his head.
As walked towards the three-way Simpang market, where the place is where people usually wait for the bus or angkot at the first stop, where the, there he hopes to meet his old friends who are about to go to work.
As stood with very watchful eyes and was observant watching everyone who was waiting for the Bus and the angkot.
Almost 2 hours standing, As did not meet any of his old friends.
Almost desperate, when finally his eyes caught the figure he had once known.
"Moses??"
He said then half ran over to the man.
"Moses...!"
Sweepings.
Someone turned to look at As, and a smile spread.
"Hey..Asmawi right??"
Reply Moses.
"Yes..Sa... Whatabar you?"
"Alhamdulillah I'm fine, you yourself how are you, keep what are you doing here?"
"Tabar I'm not doing well Sa... I'm here again waiting and looking for old friends to ask for a job"
"Not good how do you mean As? Looking jobs? you mean you're unemployed now? Not the last news I heard he said you're now a supervisor at a factory huh?"
"Over the story Sa, I'll tell you sometime, the most important thing now can you ask me to work Sa? I'm in need!"
"O Allah, I'm really sorry As, my tender just ran out 2 days ago, so I don't work today"
Moses answered breaking the spirit of the As he had just assembled.
As looked down lethargic, trying to raise his heart.
"But you take it easy As, once I get the new tender, you're the first person I'm asking, but do you want to be a building porter?"
Moses hesitated a little.
"I don't care about Sa.any work, which is important halal I'm definitely Wanna, anyways I'm pretty good at understanding building problems."
"Yes, you live where, let me play in your house."
Ask Moses again.
"I now live in my In-laws' house, you know?"
Answer As.
"Yes I know, Mr. Bulromi's house isn't it?"
As nodded. "Thank you Sa.."
It was as if there was a glimmer of hope that Moses brought for him.
As hoped, it was not just nonsense to please his heart because Moses was not feeling good if he had to reject it.
