Not as Beautiful as Angan
Carmine Cunning



"You tell both your parents !" Wak Iyem after they returned home.


"Uhukis... Don't wak! Don't let them know about this!" Karmin who was drinking sweet tea made by Cempaka, immediately choked when he heard what was proposed by Wak Iyem.


"It could be fatal if only they knew of this rotten plan" He said.


"Why can't it? " Cempaka was astonished.


Karmin shook his head, he kept the half-filled cup back.


"They are wide fields, the harvest is also abundant. Once the harvest can produce hundreds of quintals up to a ton of grain, uwak guess for the future of the only child they will not mind if they have to sell it" Wak Iyem continued his words that had been cut.


"It could be a big deal if they find out. Their high blood will definitely recur, I don't want it to happen to my father and Ema"


Karmin said as he got up from his seat.


"Yes talk slowly do not grasak-grusuk, let uwak who talk"


"Jamgan wak! I beg uwak save this matter lest they know, I dare not bear the consequences" Karmin pleaded with Wak Iyem by kneeling before his wak Iyem.


"Why did he beg wak Iyem? Is it true he is so unfortunately the same parents, or is it... There's something he's trying to hide, like my marriage to him until now I haven't been to my in-laws' house, don't know who my father-in-law is?" Cempaka deepened, his neutrality could not be seen the behavior of Karmin like fear.


"Why are you all that? Like a very frightened. What's the matter exactly?" Ask wak Iyem anyway.


"No... Nothing, that's all, afraid of the blood pressure going up again" said Karmin, he also landed his ass in its original place.


"If working on both your parents is not allowed, then what is your plan? Do you have that kind of money?" Iyem fishing rod.


Cempaka from earlier only noticed Karmin's behavior, in his heart there was a suspicion that stuck out, he tried to get rid of the suspicion.


"My mother, I want to ask my wife for help. Perhaps he had a stash" Karmin glanced at Cempaka, hoping that Cempaka would have a stash of his old money before marrying him.


"Geez!" Cempaka exhaled his breath violently. He did not comment anything.


"Dad! Help me yes! For our future, let me not be unemployed" His grant asked for mercy.


"I don't have" Cempaka said briefly.


"Then, how do I do my job?"


"If from there it is taken out, yes look for another job" he said.


" That's what Nok said! A man don't cry! Don't rely on the wife's mercy"


Wak Iyem agrees with Cempaka.


"But wak, the work there is good not too cape, the result is also good if I have been appointed as a permanent employee, many bonuses again"


Karmin.


"If uwak frankly can not help, the pension uwak just enough to eat. If uwak sells rice fields or gardens..."


"Don't wak! No need to do all that! Let us find the solution, won't we?" Karmin glanced at her eyes, signaling Cempaka.


"Yes wak, do not bother with the problem of Karmin! Especially to sell rice fields or gardens. In the love of a ride to stay here alone was grateful" Cempaka understood the gesture from Karmin.


"To help her husband a wife must have a surefire way, right deck?" Karmin stared at his finger Cempaka, where there tucked two pieces of white gold cin-cin that is quite good when sold. It was a cin-cin from Cempaka's work before he knew Karmin.


Knowing Karmin has intentions to sell his cin-cin. Cempaka so remembered his eldest brother, namely Kenari who always wanted to borrow the cin-cin he used it for various reasons.


"I want to prepare food for lunch later" Cempaka did not respond to Karmin's words, he passed to the kitchen.


"Yes Nok, almost forgot" Wak Iyem tailed behind Cempaka.


Karmin was there himself. He turned his brain to find a way for Cempaka to sell his ring and get a loan of money to his brother to patch his shortcomings.


Lunch is available on the dining table.


Wak Iyem and Cempaka deliberately did not care about it, he pretended not to see it.


Karmin does not eat the food on his plate. He ate only a few mouthfuls. That he did just to attract the attention of Cempaka to help himself. But, it seems that Cempaka did not respond to it.


"Have you eaten, wak?" Cempaka instead asked Wak Iyem who had finished his meal.


"Already, Nok! As usual, your cooking is delicious. Let's clean up the food!" Wak Iyem brought the dirty dishes to the kitchen, followed by Cempaka who brought the leftovers.


"Geez!" Karmin grunts violently.


Cempaka and Wak Iyem pretended not to hear it.


"Leave it, Nok! Let him do his own thing! Luwak Lagian feels unsure of the same rules"


"I did too, wak! It feels awkward" Lontar Cempaka.


"You like it when I am unemployed? Go ahead if you want to make a living eating us as long as I'm unemployed!"


Suddenly Karmin attacked them with words that seemed to blame to Cempaka.


Huh...


Cempaka and Wak Iyem were shocked, both spontaneously turning their bodies towards the arrival of the sound.


"What did you say? Why blame me? You want to hand over your responsibilities as the head of the household to me? You want to turn your backbone into a rib? Okay fine! who's afraid? I'm used to making my own money" Not in the pain of Karmin if Cempaka will answer like that.


Beps!


Karmin's mouth fell silent for a moment. He became misbehaved, feeling guilty for throwing words that turned back into a boomerang for himself.


How not?


He was afraid that Cempaka would ask for separation and his plan with Kenari to get money from Cempaka would fail miserably.


Hurry Karmin apologizes and puts up a face wash after he thinks about it.


"Ma'af deck! Not that I mean so, ma'af I keceplosan origin talk" he said.


Hope Cempaka can melt his heart.


"If you think about it first, don't come from ceplos!" Cibir wak Iyem's.


"Well, I won't do it again, I promise! It's up to the deck Cempaka want to help or not, I will try myself to find money to pay the fine so I can work there" he said Karmin weakened.


Cempaka did not comment, he only glanced at Karmin. Busy again with the laundry dishes.


"Dad! I say yes, I want to ngojeg just nyari extra money, hopefully can pay the money dendanya" Karmin performed with a voice made as soft as possible.


"Good that! It must be so if you are the head of the household. Getting married means everything! Ready to feed his wife, her clothes and shelter, don't just be ready for her sleep!" Wak Iyem nyerocos like the sound of firecrackers.


"Yes wak, I say goodbye" said Karmin softly. After kissing the back of his hand wak Iyem anywhere say goodbye.


"Dad! I say yes first, pray that the passengers will be many" Karmin kissed the back of his hand Cempaka, followed by Cempaka who did the same.


"Yes, careful!" Said Cempaka deliver Karmin to the end of the terrace.


"I just remembered the word Walnuts she did not want it in a rude way. Cempaka can least bear to see and hear the sadness and distress of others. I would make a show so that he would be moved to help find the money" Karmin smiled with a soft wit in his mind.


Cempaka stared at Karmin's back until it disappeared in the swallow by a bend in the road.


"If the warning letter is true, pity also Karmin. But where am I the money?" Bathin Cempaka is starting to falter.
