Not as Beautiful as the Moon Night
The Accusations That Hurt My Heart.
...Wedding is not like folding paper, easy to fold neatly, and looks beautiful....
“Receivable again, you have no capoknya!,” Kevin said, in a high tone.
Kevin Alfiano, son of Ahmad and Anisa's mother. Married seven years ago, to Julia. The marriage of one boy, Varo Alfiano, was five years old. A happy marriage, until finally the economic problems come to the family of Kevin and Julia, making Julia always to blame. Kevin works in the Compassion keep loan, as a leader in the Bank. His salary is 7 million a month.
Julia the only daughter of Mother Fatma and Mr. Aris, lives away from the family, because she joined Kevin, to Surabaya. Julia, the original birthplace of Lumajang Kabupeten.
“Easy you are, say it all. Had you been me, surely you would have done the same thing,” Julia replied with teary eyes.
“Why should I be you, don't you yourself have to think how to make enough of our monthly money. You are a housewife and you should be able to manage our finances as well as possible, not even add to the burden of debt like this.” Said Kevin Still in a furious tone.
It hurts to hear her, but she's the husband, and the head of the household in Julia's house. No one can trust Julia after what she did for her family. When telling the truth, if the finances are lacking, Julia will be blamed, when Julia seeks a loan without telling, Julia remains to blame. Whether a wife is indeed in a position that is not considered, when trying to find something that he considers to help his needs. Or vice versa can not live quietly without the burden that exists.
“I will work Mas, let you not be burdened by me,” said Julia who was already in tears, sad very sad to hear Kevin's words.
“You think women who are only Junior High graduates can make money to help the family finances, you just deserve to be a housewife who takes care of the house and take care of the children.”
“Quite Mas, even if I only graduate Junior High, but I'm sure, I can work,’’
“What work? What works being a cook or nyuci at home people.”
“Yes, I'm fine being a babu though Mas, as long as I can help the family finances, than I continue to be blamed by you.”
“Hahaha, just shy, you stay like this is not going anywhere.”
“Why do you keep demeaning me, Mom? Always makes me hurt. Now that I'm resigned, how is it up to you.” Julia went straight away.
A marriage that started with love, an accidental meeting in Lumajang, when Kevin was on duty at the Bank branch where he worked, made them fall in love and get married. Everyone agrees with the marriage. In the end the marriage became a sad story, all felt a dream, went beautifully at first, but eventually became miserable. A woman can do nothing, can only cry and mourn a very painful life.
Varo, who is 5 years old, still needs the affection of a mother, whether to work to help the family finances.
The next day, whether there is a wind what makes Kevin suddenly take Julia home.
“Quick change clothes, we will visit the mother's house in lumajang,” said Kevin who suddenly invited to lumajang.
“For what Mas, didn't we a week ago already from there,”
“We take a walk.” Her reply was short without hesitation, and left Julia confused by her husband's attitude.
She asks Julia to come to Julia's mother's house, and makes Julia think that Kevin is just joking.
“Mas is not kidding right?” Julia asked still in a state of disbelief.
“I'm serious, we'll have a holiday tomorrow, let Varo meet mother,”
“Good Mas.”
Julia immediately changed clothes, and so did Varo. Happy, because Kevin so good, no longer angry money problems anymore. Julia just needs to be understood, it's just that Kevin is always suspicious and considers Julia too easy to spend his monthly money.
If calculated how much Julia spends, it can not be enough to buy new clothes. Just buy enough family needs. 7 million if still in share to pay the installment of the house and rations Kevin's parents. If calculated in detail, Julia only gets 3.5 million per month.
Julia never counted. If less Julia must be looking for debt. Just to meet that deficiency.
On the way back to the village, Julia was silent, as if she was very afraid to talk a lot, for fear of being blamed, and the edges would quarrel.
A journey that takes approximately 4 hours. Without chatter, as if mute to each other. Warmth in the family has been reduced, even very far from the word happy like the beginning of marriage.
The clock shows at 19:00 kevin's car has entered the area of Julia's yard, which entered the village klakah.
They immediately went down, saw the arrival of Julia, and Kevin, as well as Varo, Fatma's mother was very happy, she immediately greeted her only child.
“Julia, Kevin, You guys suddenly came Nak,”
“Iya, Mom. Mas Kevin said, let Varo, can long play with mom and dad.” Julia replied smiling.
Kevin also smiled, while carrying Julia's bag of clothes, brought inside.
“You're all healthy Kan?”
“Ya bu.” Answer Julia.
“Please, I want to cook for you,”
“Where to Bu?”
“Still to your uncle's house, soon to come.”
“Ya already julia want to rest first.”
They went straight into the room and took a break, tired, Kevin fell asleep. While Julia went straight out, after putting Varo to bed.
“I'm not tired mom,”
“You're fine with Kevin,”
“Iya ma'am, why do you ask like that?”
“Mother's feelings alone may be yes, since this morning, the mother feels restless and the mother's heart is pounding, do not know what the cause.”
“I'm fine, mom don't worry ya. Now I help you cook, let's have dinner. Because I am also hungry.”
“Thank God Son. Yes, let's help mom,”
Julia knows the bond between a mother and child is strong, but she wants to cover up the quarrel between herself and kevin before leaving for lumajang.
Soon Mr. Aris came, saw the son, his son-in-law came, Mr. Aris was happy.
“Loh ndok, how come suddenly? Dad was surprised, what's up?”
“Nothing Well, it just so happens that Kevin did not come here, yes already spoiled Well.”
“Walah, What do you think,”
“Julia, call Mas kevin first yes, we eat together,” Julia said.
“Yes you call first Son Kevin, after eating let immediately rest again.”
Julia went straight to the room, woke Kevin, after waking up they went out to eat together, but before that, Kevin immediately greeted Mr. Aris.
“Healthy Son,”
“Iya Sir,”
“Thank God, let's eat first,”
“Iya Pak.”
They ate together, only Varo did not come to eat together, all ate greedily, finished eating, Kevin sat in the living room, followed by Mr. Aris, and Ms. Fatma and Julia.
“How are your parents in Surabaya Nak, are all healthy,”
“Iya Pak healthy,”
“Thank God, the point is healthy, let a lot of money if sickly must be sad too.”
“You and Julia take care of health yes,” continued Fatma's mother.
“Iya, ma'am,” Julia replied
“Bu, Kevin would like to apologize to mom, also the same Father, maybe Kevin's arrival became a question mark for Father and Mother,”
“Iya, what's up Nak?”
“Kevin wants to return Julia Bu, Sir!!!”
Julia lifted her head, surprised, so did Mother Fatma and Mr. Aris. The words returned shocked the entire room.
