For 110 days we waited for the harvest season to finally arrive. My heart is happy. Soon the children's needs can be met. Dion's diapers are running out, so I'm saving on them. I will no longer hear Dilan's whining for snacks because after the harvest we will have money.
Mas Ardan helped his friend harvest rice in the rice field. Now he's not working with Irfan anymore. She told me that she was gonna have her friend's bachelor kid hanging out all this time.
Actually I object, afraid they're taking Mas Ardan to gambling again. But that's it, the important job in the rice field is quickly completed.
After a week of harvesting it was finally finished as well. Mas Ardan only gave me 500 grand. I'm surprised because it's so different from last year's results when I was able to help him.
"This is the money from the rice sale." He handed me 5 pieces of red money.
"Kok just this." I said in shock as I glared at the money in my hand.
"Our crop yield is lacking now. Yesterday I did not take care of him, I also had to pay the people who helped me, and some of our rice left for us to eat."
"But this is very different from last year's results. This is if we shop all the necessities now immediately run out of money." I still can't believe the amount of money I'm holding right now.
"It has. Don'worry. Now the people have all harvested. I'll help you add to your spending money." Ardan calms me.
Mas Ardan took me shopping.
I bought Dion's diapers, bath soap, laundry soap, and I also completed the kitchen's needs.
There are only 100 thousand left in my hands. I dare not spend it all.

"I went to Herman's paddy field first, to help him transport it to him."
"Yes. Careful."
In the afternoon, Mas Ardan returned home.
"This is the money I brought the rice with me." He only gave me 50 grand.
"How many sacks were transported?" Ask wonder.
"I could carry 20 sacks. One bag paid 10 grand. It's not for sale yet, Herman just gave me some gas money." Clearly me.
"Oh." I said accept the explanation.
At night Mas Ardan asked permission to go to Herman's house.
"Become, I'm going to Herman's house first, who knows if he's got money."
"Yes. Don't be home for long." I gave him a warning.
"Siiip boss." He passed away leaving me.
I saw the clock on hp already showing at 24:00. Ardan has not yet returned.
"Not yet to return, Mas Ardan. Maybe in a minute." I thought and chose not to contact him.
I fell asleep again. And wake up again at 2 am.
"iii... This Mas Ardan. Did he fall asleep at Herman's." I was upset and immediately called his phone.
Twice I called her phone number there was no answer.
After a long while there was a knock on the door and Mas Ardan called out to me.
I went to the door and opened the door for her.
"She's at Herman's for a second. Now it's up to 2, why don't you guys just go there." I said annoyed as I passed leaving her to the room.
"So crowded there watching football, it's not good to go home friends are still crowded." He gave me an excuse and followed me to the room.
"Ditelepon was also unappointed." I lay my body on the bed and kept nagging.
"You're ashamed that there are still many friends, and then they're even tagging me." Mas Ardan also fell beside me.
"Yes dear." He then wrapped his hands around my waist, to take my heart.
"Is there money?"
"Yet. Tau ni Herman, take a job but the money is not there."
"Sabar Mas maybe he hasn't sold it yet."
Already a week Mas Ardan cooperated people to transport rice, always the money given to me was only 50 or 100 thousand. The reason is sometimes the money has not been given or not the money borrowed by friends.
I suspect he's still gambling. People if they are addicted to gambling where they can see money, then they will bet on gambling tables.
I still do not fully believe in Mas Ardan's promise that he will not repeat his deeds again.

The news of Mas Ardan who often gambled was heard to the ears of my father. This morning he came to visit us. He had rarely come because Dilan was no longer willing to go with him. Sometimes you just stop by for a while just giving money shopping for Dilan.
"Dilan..." His voice in the courtyard called out to Dilan.
I opened the door and let my father into the house.
"Dilan, this is your grandfather coming." I called Dilan who was watching TV.
"Dion... Dion is great. Dilan's here with Grandpa." I said hello to Dion who had been playing with me and did not forget to say hello to Dilan.
But Dilan no response still fun watching TV.
"How many months? I can laugh at it." You look excited to see Dion laughing seems happy with his arrival.
"It's been 4 months 2 weeks." I said.
"Dion. Dion's happy." As he pinched his cheek gently.
The more Dion laughed.
While Dilan who had been busy watching suddenly came to his grandfather, then hit hard his grandfather's legs, Dilan's face was very angry.
"Why... Why this.?" Ask the astonished father.
"So, I'm playing with Dion." I said.
"Oh so the story she envies. It was called a bitch." Says father.
"Where artan? Still sleeping." Ask my father.
"Ehh. Aye." Yeah." I know you'd be upset if you knew Mas Ardan was still sleeping at this hour, but I couldn't lie to him.
"Well. That is if the night does not sleep, the work is wandering, spend money. So lazy." He said with a grouchy face.
"Mas Ardan often transports rice, so the achievement." I said defend a little.
"It is called work. No one is tired. If 9 o'clock hasn't woken up what we'll get." He just kept nagging me.
"Father try to talk directly to Mas Ardan, let him be self-conscious. Father as his father-in-law deserves to advise him." I said I was tired of hearing him criticize Mas Ardan in front of me.
"Ahhhhh... Whatever. You don't want to take too far. You can just watch you."
"If only monitored the more it becomes later, at least if you know he did wrong must be advised."
"Father go home first. This is for Dilan jajan."He gave me a red note, and then he left the house.
I was dizzy with the words of the Father earlier, as if I was accommodating his frustration towards Mas Ardan. Later if I told Mas Ardan must be wrong.
My father rarely talked to Mas Ardan, it seems that Mas Ardan avoids meeting my Father.
