OUR HUSBAND IS TOGETHER
WHERE'S PRICIL?
I thought for a moment then shuffled towards the room. I had to take out a few pieces of fiber money to give to the fierce woman. My God, after this where else would I get money for living expenses? My salary will be out in about two weeks.
“This is bu.” I said, handing over the money after coming out of the room. Sumi quickly grabbed the red object from my hand and then without saying thank you it disappeared from view.
I glanced at my in-laws who seemed to have no burden. How not? All her life needs ranging from eating to underwear was her daughter-in-law who financed. He opened the mouth of the omen to set a row of words.
“Now you masakin mama chicken soup!”
Gosh darn.
Oh God.
Didn't this old lady see that I just threw away a lot of money this early in the morning? After all I have prepared rice and side dishes at the dinner table.
“Already available on dining table ma.”
“His chicken soup?”
“Fried tempeh and stir-fried kale.”
“Didn't you hear what your mom wanted?”
“I heard it very much ma. But how else? Money in this house has been ludes to bu Sumi earlier.”
“I don't care!”
What a disgusting morning. If I did not remember that this person standing before me was my mother-in-law I might have made this old lady's skewer. Saban day his demand is getting more and more. Not only the type of food, often he also asked for clothes and expensive objects that are very difficult to reach with a single child widow like me.
My mother-in-law had a history of heart disease two years ago. One day his illness recurred just because 24 hours did not stop being angry at his unsolicited request. At that time there was still a Hero in this house and his own son did not grant his heart's request. Until at night before morning I heard a scream from the front room and found my in-laws holding his chest painfully. Quite overwhelmed and exhausted of our material after having her hospitalized for five days. Since the incident, whatever the request is always me and Hero follow even though not eating will be a bet.
“But what about Pricil milk later ma? Poor him.” I put on a hardened look, hopefully by looking at my crumpled face like this dirty cloth his heart will become melted and want to eat the food that has been served on the table.
“You're a mother. It should be you who gave your child milk and not the white powder that was in the box!”
Plaque!
My heart felt slapped after hearing the row of letters coming out of the old grandmother's lips. My hope of getting mercy from him just faded away. Either what kind of demon lodged in his body so that the need for his own grandson he was reluctant to succumb. Selfish!
It's not that I don't want to breastfeed my son. But after two months I gave birth to Pricil my milk has not come out again until now. I have also tried various ways to make the water spray smoothly from the source. But nothing, all of it did not produce results.
“There go buy chicken and vegetables!”
Thud.
“Awww.” I suddenly fell down a moment after I felt that there was a visible object pushing my body violently. I looked up and found my in-laws standing with their arms gulped at their waist. Fix, it must have been the culprit.
So hurt.
My back seemed to slip from the spot.
Fearing his more violent treatment, I immediately ran and left the half-century woman in front of the veranda. Somehow so that his request this time can be fulfilled, hopefully there is inspiration from the sky approaching me.

Srek srek.
The hero.
If only you were here. My life will not be this tight. You love me so much and I'm sure you won't let this rope of your soul be distressed by birth and inner. Surely you will try as hard as you can for our happiness together. Or even you'll scold your mother if you know how cruel the lioness's treatment of me is.
But.
Hold still.
Youlove me? Did ya?
Ah no-no. It may be true that you love your woman so much, but that was it. Long before I caught you making out with a woman I didn't even know who I was. If only I could see the face of that bastard woman, I would have searched and pulled her hair to become bald. But alas, the position of the housewarming woman was behind me so I could not reach out to which demon was then striking your lips wildly. Stupid me! Why did I run away and run away from home that night? I should have met those two wretched men and cut them into pieces.
“Excuse me miss. You ate the whole way.” The big sound of a typical man disperse my daydream for a moment. Oh God. Where have I gone to the past? To the extent that I was not aware if my body position was right in the middle of the road. This father kasian. Maybe he had waited a long time behind because his access road was blocked by my body that ran through the center of this path.
“Ah yes-excuse me sir.” I shuffled back and gave a wide stall to the round-hat father and a large sack of old bottles stained to his back.
I remember when I was a kid I was in that father's position too. Scavenging used items with my late father and mother from one place to another. So tired. At that time one large sack was valued at Rp 10,000,-.
Oi.
Whatwasthat?
Rp 10,000,-?
Ah yes I just remembered that in my pocket of clothes there is currently money of Rp 10,000,-. I'd rather buy ready-made chicken soup than have to buy vegetables and chicken again because it will cost more.
Thanks Gusti.
You have helped Your troubled Servant.

I threw myself into a blue building while carrying a black plastic bag filled with chicken soup. Thankfully, my in-laws' requests were finally fulfilled. Soup costs seven thousand and leaves three thousand as a return from the money I gave you. Pretty good, the remaining three pieces of money I can use to go to Mr. Reno's house this morning. Still at half-time seven in the morning, there are 30 minutes left for me to get to my master's house.
I took a deep breath and placed the black plastic on the dining table. I had to bathe Pricilia first before leaving for work this morning. Ah even I forgot about my own son just for looking for chicken soup for Miss Lastri, my in-laws.
Chequek.
Door knob open. I watched all the rooms where my little baby slept at night.
Hey, where is he?
Why is this room empty without residents?
