Numbness (Lidya)

Chapter 6 Return to Work

Happy reading....

Eventually Litha and Ali returned to the overseas territory after several hours of travel. Sometimes they take breaks to eat drinks and pray.

The City (surface)...

They arrived at the boarding house. Located near the factory area. It just so happened that Litha and Ali chose a location close to work. To be efficient in time, so that it can reduce its transportation money and the idea of having a house in the city soon materialized.

They both live in simple boarding houses. Eat potluck, which is important to be enjoyed both. The cost of the hostel is also cheap. At that time about 85,000 rupiah per month. Including water and electricity costs.

In the room, there are two floors. The ground floor for the residents of the boarding house consists of several rooms. Upstairs to the mushola. Every ba'da magrib, Ali taught the son of the hostess to teach and Ali also as the imam of the mosque in his kost.

One day after returning, Ali was right in telling his superiors to send goods out of town.

Litha was used to working out of town once in a while. That's only temporary. About a night or two Litha's only in staying away, if delivery of goods out of town.

Ali works in one of the famous and well-known factories as a freight driver. His salary was fully paid to Litha, his wife. He only holds a few percent. If less, he asked Litha again. Ali believes, if the wife who manages his salary then can save. Not without reason, Ali did not want to hold too much money, worried often buy cigarettes. If that is the case, then buying land and buying a house will be delayed.

"Dek, I want to leave to work out of town. You're good at the boarding house. Mas work for your living with Lidya and save for the sake of building our personal home, let us not continue to spend".

"Yes, I understand. You're good there huh. If you are tired, rest. If you sleep, sleep a while. Don't force it. I pray for your safety mas".

"Thank you deck."

"Same with mas. Don't forget the prayer".

"Yes sweetheart".

Litha kissed Ali's hand with reverence. Ali kissed Litha on the forehead. Then they hugged.

The habit of every leaving for work is so for the married couple. Duh, make a baper, mama? Unmarried people do not want to imagine.hehe.

Ali disappeared from sight. Litha in kostan feels all right. Early in the morning, she was at work. Instead, he decided to buy enough vegetables. Yes, enough. Because if you buy a lot of cooking ingredients, it will definitely stale. Understandably, there is no refrigerator.

After a few minutes, the vegetables were. Litha shrewdly immediately plucked her vegetables. Simple menu planning this time. Only clear vegetables, tomato sauce and fried catfish. For him, it is ngirit. Cook a lot even mubadzir, only in eating for himself.

After finishing that simple menu, Litha washed the dishes and cleaned her boarding house.

A few days ago, Ali decided to work out of town. Ali is home today.

Tok..tok-s.but!

Tok..tok-s.but!

"Assalamualaikum deck"

"Waalaikumsalam. Thank God I have come home." Litha kissed Ali's hand with reverence.

"Yes deck. Mas tired of it. I'm going to take a shower, you're ready for food for me yeah".

"Yes mas".

Ali rushed to the bathroom. Litha went to the kitchen. Litha doesn't cook. He feels less well. At the arrival of monthly guests, Litha's body felt achy aches and her stomach was cramped.

In the kitchen Litha cooks eggplant and fried rice with instant seasoning. He cooks easily so that he can rest immediately.

Ali who had come out of the bathroom went straight to her room. Litha had already brought her homemade fried rice to the boarding room.

"What was that deck?"

"Telor ceplok same fried rice instant seasoning mas. Sorry if the menu is less appetizing. I haven't been strong in the kitchen for long. My body pegel pegel, my stomach cramps again with a monthly guest. Though yes mas, not as usual fitting in guest I tuh this way. Don't know why I'm thinking of pegel bodies and stomach cramps".

"Your answer is very long deck, like the answer to the Indonesian exam.hehehehe. It's okay, I must have eaten your cooking. I spent it all there's nothing left".

"Thank you mas. Please eat first. Cold rush".

"Yes deck. Eat it up".

"Yes. I saw you eat it, yeah".

"You want? This is a bribe (no ak ak ak..!)"

"(Aemmmm.). Like a newlywed first, huh mas?" Litha chuckles

"Yes deck. If you want more, take another bribe, yes. (ak.ak..ak!)"

"No mas. Only those who eat. Well, why didn't you call me back from out of town today? Tau came home today, if my body is not good I can buy food outside the mas".

"Yes deck. It's a surprise for you. Mas kangen deck. But adek again with monthly guests. Can't touch it, can you? Can't mant*b mant*b same adek..hehe"

"Sabar. Hold it first. Is it strong faith?" litha said with a smile.

"Yes deck. Ohh, did you get into work when the deck?"

"Tomorrow mas".

"Oh tomorrow. Right now I'm not feeling well anymore. Just a rest, huh? Is it necessary to mas out for a while buy turmeric herbal medicine to launch your monthly guests deck? Mas do not have the heart you see you occasionally grimace that because your stomach is cramped".

"In jamu j*go or mistress m*nir still open times yes deck. Yes, I went out for a minute. Adek sleep aja nunggung mas bring turmeric herbal medicine".

"Brains of heart".

"Yes. Assalamualaikum".

"Girishal"

It took a few minutes, Ali had returned and brought herbs for his wife.

"Assalamualaikum deck"

"Waalaikumsalam. How's it?"

"This is the deck, you wait there anyway Mas want to move into a glass for you to drink"

"Thank you"

"Well, this is the deck already cast. Drink slowly, yes. Don't forget to read basmallah". Ali thrust out a glass filled with herbs.

"Bismilahbornrahmanirrahim..."

Glek..glek...glek....!

"Udah is up. Thank you, very attentive. Though just returning from work from out of town, have not had time to rest, now bother buying adek jamu".

"You said you couldn't watch me grimacing in pain. On the deck tomorrow, you are already at work. Mas peng adek healthy immediately let the work spirit. Remember the deck, for the sake of our dream home. We have to support each other, should be careful if one of us is not okay?".

"But I want us to keep supporting each other and caring for each other even though it's fine mas".

"Yes deck. Come on now bobok first deck. We have to work tomorrow. We can't get up late".

"Mas bobok first. Adek wants to go to the bathroom change p*mbalut. Looks like the watch has reacted. The stomach is not so cramped, the blood is flowing very fast".

"Alhamdulillah if the herbs fit the deck. Hopefully tomorrow when you wake up, your body feels fitter".

"This is all thanks to your care and concern for me. Excuse me for a second".

Litha went to the bathroom for a while to change her p*ball. It'll take a few minutes.

"Mas, why haven't you ripped?"

"Wait for you deck".

"And I told you, mas bobok first. How do you even wait for me?".

"Mas wants to hug the life deck roll..hehehehe"

"Yes, it's ayok"

They closed their eyes. I hope to have a beautiful dream come true.

Until the morning, they were sound. Hugging each other. Left to work far away apparently miss each other.

LDR is not good, is it the viewers? But for the sake of work and the dream house, you have to sacrifice a little.

"Mas, let's get up. Take a shower first. Cook adek. Before lining up the bathroom."

"Mas still sleepy deck".

"For the sake of our dream house mas"

"OK on."

Ali rushed to the bathroom. Litha cooks chicken soto and fries crackers.

Everything is presented. Replace Litha who is bathing now. Then Ali prayed together at the mosque kost with the other hostess residents.

When he finished, Ali went down the stairs. Breakfast with Litha.

At exactly 05:34 Ali drove Litha to the factory. Then to his own workplace. They both work together in the industrial area.

Litha went home what if her working hours with Ali were not the same?

Litha came home on foot. The distance to the cost is not so far away.

***

The first day of work for Litha was exhausting. His muscles feel tense. Probably due to the long holiday...
