OUR HUSBAND IS TOGETHER

WHAT IS?

“Where sir?” I asked full of curiosity. In the wind what kind of handsome man took his jongos away? Ah don't geer Chevani, maybe your employer just invited you to go to the market to shop for vegetables.

“You don't need to know. Tomorrow don't be late again.”

Huft said Mr. Reno made my memory realm centered on the incident this morning at home. Hopefully tomorrow the granny won't tell me anything weird again so I can get to this house soon.

I continued my work and after I finished I immediately went to the room to meet Pricilia there. The little boy was still soundly asleep on his bed. Actually, Pricilia is not a child who belongs to have vertego disease aka malnutrition, although I am a poor widow but the needs of my son are still number one. Perhaps God predestined Pricilia to be a baby sleepyhead so that her mother who works as a maid and washerman can freely work without being disturbed by the hustle to take care of a baby. Thank goodness God understands my condition.

I sat on the edge of the bed and stared outside through the window. The scenery outside is very beautiful, green anom trees lined up long like a row of geese who want to cross the river. I thought about how to get to the bar because the money in my pocket was completely gone. But a shadow of Ratna appeared in my mind. Maybe he can be a solution. I immediately got up and left the still slumbering Pricil in this place then inched towards the house next door, the place where Ratna devoted herself as a babu like me.

Ting nong ting nong.

The bell rang and I was standing in front of a house that was no less magnificent than my master's house.

Chequek.

The door is open but I don't see anyone here. Hey, who opened the door? Are there any other creatures in this house? Inner wondering.

“Hayo aunt what is it?”

Oh Jesus!

It turned out that a little boy of the age of Refa opened the door, it was quick not to see the trunk of his nose unless I looked down.

“Ada Bu Ratna darling?” I asked Cici who was still faithful to be stuck in the doorway. The gelis boy then ran towards the kitchen and soon someone appeared who I was looking for.

“Eh Che, what's up?” Ask Ratna. His face was not as red as a ripe tomato this morning.

“Emmm gini Rat.” I pulled Ratna's arm and took her to the front garden of the house. As concise and clear as possible I told every detail of the incident I experienced this morning. After that I conveyed my intention to borrow a little money from him so that I could go to the bar as well as go home after all the work was done later tonight.

Hearing all my words Ratna pulled the corners of her lips and then gradually went into the house. It didn't take long for him to return with a rectangular object clasped in his right hand.

“This” He said while handing me five pieces of red paper.

Whats!

What the fuck!

My eyes widened when he saw the five hundred thousand he had given me. Where does this guy have a lot of money? Not that his condition is the same as mine, both become a babu in people's homes.

“You have this much money from where?” I asked in the end.

“Ehmm i- it's from my husband.” Ratna seemed to think before she finally answered my question.

Also true. Ratna is indeed a maid but she has a husband who also works like her, even they do not have children. So, it could be that their current expenses are still very little. Geez Chevani you've got a lot of hussnuzon on other people.

“But I don't need this much money. Well take it again.” I said while giving Ratna four pieces of red paper. I just took one sheet.

My eyes are perfectly rounded with my mouth wide open. Why would Ratna suddenly give me this much money? Is he breaking a habit? I have to return this money because I don't want to owe him that much time.

“Sorry instead I refused but-“

“Eits1 You know? Pamali refused sustenance. Take lah.”

Ratna thrust the red sheets back at me. It is also true that he said that pamali for us to refuse sustenance. Ah yehad it been, perhaps this is one of the Divine recompense for my patience with the great-grandmother this morning.

Wrestling.

Give your kindness and health to my best friend. When we were in school together, he was the only person who always helped me in distress. And when we grew up, he was also a loyal person who helped me to live. It was lucky that I had a friend like Ratna. May the Lord soon grant her and her husband a little baby. Aamiins.

Without feeling my tears dripping down my cheeks. I hugged Ratna's body tightly which she replied with the same embrace.

“Thanks Rat. May God repay all your kindness.” I said lirih.

I took off the hug and then shuffled back to get out of there. The day had begun to orange sign we had to quickly go to the bar wash to work. But I haven't had time to pull a step to waltz away, a pair of my eyes accidentally caught the sight of a gold card that seemed to be owned by rich people in Ratna's wallet that was still open wide.

After the five hundred thousand dollars, my brain is now riddled with the new awkwardness that I see in Ratna. Did he just get inspiration from above the sky? I pulled my mouth three centi to ask the certainty about the gold card. But I haven't been able to open my voice, Screeches Cici make Ratna run and slip from my sight.

“Bu Latna spout today.”

Drama congestion began to occur in Batam City. Usually if it's late this afternoon the cause is only two. First the riders who have just returned to work and the second are the jomblowati who go to the square for the table. Just make their streets solid. Why not help your mom or dad at home?

I got away and landed my ass on this public transport after Refa came back crying as I was about to go home. He often drips the clear hairs from the eye pelupuk where when I go with Pricil from the house. Especially if his mother is not at home like this, surely he feels very lonely.

After a 30-minute drive I finally arrived at a large building where I used to wash white sheets and friends.

Something is strange.

From the end of the street I saw a crowd thronging the bar area and a police line circling the building.

What's the matter? Was there an accident?
