Presentiments

Chapter 10 my rations are reduced

I was surprised to see no one around the room.

turns out it was just a dream, but why it feels real. I saw the clock was approaching Maghrib.

it turns out that I fell asleep for a long time, but the taste was only a little while.maybe because of the effects of fatigue so I slept very soundly.

immediately to the bathroom to clean myself, I continue to take ablution because the sound of the Adhan has been heard.

finished praying, I sat pensively thinking about the dream earlier.what did mother's speech in my dream earlier yes, why did mother talk about selling the house.and the dream felt real. is it possible because I miss them and also my hometown so carried away my inner dreams.

after a few minutes of contemplation, I folded my face and rose out of the room. My stomach had the sound of a sign should be filled immediately.

at first glance I look into the living room but there is no one.Maybe the same mother has gone home, I thought.

I peeked into the terrace from the window, the motorbike was gone.

and the mas reza motorbike was not there yet.marknya mas reza still not home.I took the device and typed something, about to click send but I doubt. finally I paused sending a message to mas reza.

I went to the kitchen to fill my stomach, looking for something to cook. There was only white rice, then I took onions and chili. I would make fried rice.

no need for long fried rice has been presented and ready to be eaten. I greedily eat because the stomach has been rumbling since.

finish eating I immediately clean the house and continue to wash clothes, my usual schedule to wash during the holidays.just at 9 pm My work is done all.

relax for a moment in the living room, the room that is at once made a TV room because our rent is not too big. There are only 1 bedroom, living room, bathroom, kitchen, kitchen, and,and patio.sitting while stretching muscles that feel sore.I turn on the TV to just eliminate saturated and quiet.

remembering the words of the mother-in-law this afternoon who talked about children, I so imagine as if I had a child, maybe I would not be lonely like this.

" Mas,. This is the end of the month, the time to pay the contract of electricity.Where is the money, mas,? ask me while mas reza is still sitting at the dinner table after breakfast.

then I saw Mas Reza reached into the pocket to take the wallet and gave a red sheet of money as much as 5 pieces.

" She, is this to pay for the contract, huh,? then make electricity and shopping for other kitchen needs where,?

" So, you have been giving 1 million a month is still lacking, especially this is only 500 thousand. You know my salary is small, for the needs of the same transpot kitchen I work only mediocre.! my murmur held back.

" Rena her phone is broken and she asked to buy a new one, so my salary this month to buy a mobile phone rena first. besides you really count anyway, all this time who paid the same rent for the cost of kitchen needs, I'm also now replacing it." he said.

" Well, you think the 1 million you've been loving is big,? make a contract of 500 thousand, not to mention electricity and waste money, then gas, cooking oil, kitchen spices, rice, lauk pauk, and also other bathing needs and transport me a month 300 thousand. all of that use money right mas. detailed me in detail so that mas reza understand.

" Well you set it how to let it be enough, so don't waste it ." his sahut while waking up from his seat died I am still upset.lalu I approached before mas reza stepped out of the house.

" But did mas buy mobile phone rena can still later, all rena save first until the money collected just buy a cellphone. You more important to buy a mobile phone rena rather than your stomach starving, right,? my murmur is upset.

" Hunger??! then what is your duty as a wife until the husband himself is starving?!

" It's not so mas, if there is no money he wants to shop with what,?

" Well it's your job as a wife should be able to manage kitchen affairs.so the wife is a little smart, can't just protest.! you better shut up and don't say much more,! make my head dizzy,! and for the problem I bought a cellphone rena it has no business with you. I bought it using my money, not your money.so do not chat.ngerti?! her screeches.

That is how mas reza, if the affairs of his mother and sister are always fulfilled.when it is not something urgent, but for domestic affairs are always ignored. spending money was very calculated even though the need was more for himself who always asked in a delicious masakin with a kind of menu.

once I saved only cooking stir-fry cassava leaves, sambal and salted fish.mas reza immediately angry do not want to eat.

" This is all you cook?! Where do I eat kayak gini village food! if for you it might be suitable because your tongue is used to it, but my tongue is different from you who do not usually eat village food,! snapped it.

" I'm sorry, this is all I can cook for the shopping money you love is running low" I replied.

" is it 1 million money that I love you?! you used it for a foya-foya?! accuse her.

" Mad, the 1 million money is divided to pay for rent, electricity and garbage.then the rest to buy kitchen spices.continue this morning gas runs out, the gallon water runs out, and then the rest of it to buy kitchen spices, the same rice oil runs out too, so I'm shopping for it all." I said.

" Your reasons!! wife is useless.!snapped while stepping out of the house then slammed the door. shortly heard the sound of a motorbike engine, and, surely mas reza wants to go to his mother's house to complain.if this is how surely the mother-in-law will follow me.

I can only stop breathing.it feels furious to see the attitude of mas reza. always like that. he did not know his dizziness set the shopping money with rations that are always mediocre and even now must be reduced again, if this is how I can only resign.
