(POV) Dewanta
Actually, I've been fed up with Juita's pretentious behavior. Sometimes I think I want to fire him, but I can't fire him for nothing. However, I should be able to be a fair leader even if this plantation is a family plantation. I was very surprised by Zahra's arrival to the garden without telling her in advance. But I'm also happy that my wife is so attentive to me. But again Juita joined the togetherness of me and my family by asking for pieces of cake from me. Finally came the idea to have Santo cut the cake and distributed to all workers including Juita. Satisfied to see the face is upset juita, his own fault is looking for the attention of married men. He thinks I'm a cheap guy who sees other women as more beautiful than a wife at home. Women outside are sometimes prettier, but they only look beautiful outside. While the wife at home beautiful heart, because she is the one who understands the husband the most even though we are in the lowest condition.
"Sister, this is the coffee, the soto was very good, yes, you know where there is a new shop that sells soto as good as that," said Zahra my wife while carrying a cup of coffee. I immediately sipped coffee for Zahra which tastes very good. I just finished half a cup of coffee made by Zahra, the sound of knocking on the door of the living room.
"Darling who it is that comes, open the door dong, I'm nanggung nih, want to spend coffee first," I told Zahra.
It was not long before Zahra returned with a grim face. It seemed that he was very upset, it was unusual for him to behave so, there must be something that made his mood not okay.
"Who's coming baby, why is your face folded like that?" I asked Zahra.
"That's your guy who's got sexy clothes on, red lipstick is like he's drinking the blood of his neighbor, he says there's something he wants to talk to us about" Zahra said as she stomped her butt off the couch right next to me. I feel so anxious to see his behavior.
"We?, meaning me and you," I asked Zahra, nodding her head. It was so strange that Juita, hopefully there was nothing bad he planned. After finishing my wife's cup of coffee, Zahra and I stepped into the living room to meet Juita. There Juita was sitting waiting for us. She was wearing the same open clothes as usual. Even though by using open clothes, he actually became a mockery, wooing other workers.
Zahra and I immediately sat next to Juita. I tried to see his behavior. Only then did I realize that Juita was very unworthy, too lacking in materials.
"What do you need to do in the morning to my house Juita?, if you want a birthday cake, happened to be at home there, Zahra only ordered one that was brought to the garden yesterday, Zahra said, it's not that you've been loved by Saint." I told Juita.
"No, Mr. Dewanta, Ms. Zahra, I'm not asking for a cake, but look, my bike is broken. May I ask permission to mbonceng motorbike father, not possible if I walk to the garden," replied Juita. For a moment I sent Zahra's face, it seemed that she was quite caught off guard by Juita's behavior. I immediately took a phone. Soon I called Edwin, one of my unmarried men.
"Assalamualaikum, what's wrong sir, how can I help you? " Edewin who was at home answered the phone from me. Then I answered his greetings, then I told him about the problem of Juita who came home to join the bell with me, to be honest I was not pleased at all. I also told Edwin to take the garden with him. But Edwin said Juita's motorcycle was no problem, not damaged or okay.
"I don't care about Edwin, what matters is that you're here now to pick him up. Take him to the garden, you also go to the garden, right? " i said to Edwin. Finally he agreed
"How sir, are we leaving now" said Juita.
" Why not just with your father, me and my father are more compatible. Ms. Zahra if there is a need to leave alone or ask for the children of one of the father's workers,"sahut Juita.
"You know, I am a married man, not worthy to travel with you a woman who is not my wife.
"This father does not need to be pretentious to hang around near his wife. There are many who go together even though their relationship is not husband and wife. On the other hand I'm with Edwin also not husband and wife, why did you tell us to go together," Juita began to argue with me. Honestly, I was already embarrassed by Juita's words, who he really dared to manage me. I saw that Zahra's face was starting to turn red withholding the annoyance.
"Juita, you are a woman like my wife, you can take me to the garden together, do you not think that what you do will hurt your fellow women, what if you were in her position, "I said asking Juita.
"I follow my father because my motorcycle is damaged, Zahra should be happy to have a husband who cares about the misery of others, not even hurt or jealous. Try if Zahra's mother disposition me, want the motor work is damaged, if the mother mending a teacher salary big, can call ojek, if I am just a brondol, if I just a brondol, I'd rather ride with my boss to work than pay ojek because my pay is small." Zahra stood up and stepped closer to Juita. It seemed like she was very angry with Juita, I was confused because of the quarrel between Zahra and Juita. Simultaneously entered two units of vehicles entered my yard. I immediately set my eyes at the exit. It appears that Saint came with Edi driving the Juita vehicle.
"Pak Dewanta is Juita here, because he left the vehicle to me," said Edi.
"Not that said Mr. Dewanta Juita's vehicle was damaged, this I want to invite him to the garden together," Santo chimed. I saw Juita looking tense, her hands were trembling. Then he stood up and walked towards Edi. Then he grabbed the key to the contact of the vehicle in Edi's hands and then drove his vehicle at high speed leaving my house. All of us who were there shook our heads.
"What exactly is the intention of him to do that, rich there is no work," I said to all who were there
"Of course he wants to be an actor, sir, you have to be careful. Keep your heart not to be exposed to the temptation of the actor. I have felt how my household was destroyed, because I was persuaded by the seduction of women like Juita," said Santo.
"Your household was a mess because of Santo's birthday, I just found out, which I know your wife who suddenly asked for a divorce," said Edi.
"My wife asked for a divorce because every day she was terrorized by actors . So that woman is a widow, she's my neighbor. Every day he came to me, asking for this and that help, until at one time he asked his friend to go to his house, where I was treated to a drink. After taking a few sips, my head got dizzy and I don't remember anything else. After I woke up like nothing had ever happened, everything was normal. A few days after the incident, my wife was furious and showed me pictures of me with the woman naked and as if she was being perverted. He was also often terrorized by the woman to leave me. Because I have to take responsibility for marrying her, "Saint told me while bowed down miserably, it was seen that she was holding back tears from falling.
