RESIDUAL WAGES

Judis the Foul Man

I saw Chief Mas Fatir looking down in embarrassment. Actually I feel sorry to see Mas Fatir getting involved from the mistakes of his own family.

" I'm sorry for my Uncle's Family's mistake." Mas Fatir apologized and cupped his Hands to his chest.

" Uncle understands Son, Uncle is just surprised by their attitude. In my house alone they dare to insult and treat my Son arbitrarily. Moreover, my son hitchhiked alive there. Maybe my son Via suffered more than this." Uncle's words were able to make my In-laws bow their heads.

Without my permission Mother-in-law immediately took her tote bag placed on the porch chair of the house. Then pass go Up on the Car. While Mas Surya just fell silent like a Loser without being able to do anything.

Unceasingly Mas Fatir apologized to me and to Uncle.before the saying Mas Fatir first met my three children who were asleep. Mas Fatir dyed the heads with their eyebrows alternately. Mata Mas Fatir dewy and Mas Fatir deeply regretted all these events. Though Mas Fatir is not the Biological Father of My Three Children but the Love Unfortunately exceeds the Love of Their Own Father. No wonder my Three Children love their Omnya more than their Father.

With a heavy heart, Mas Fatir said goodbye and left my village with sadness.After Mobil Mas Fatir was invisible I ran into the room and cried as hard. I was just left by Aunt for so long, and now my Husband's family has come to insult me again.

My current determination is good if Me and My Three Children will settle in my Auntie Village. Before entering Zafran and Zul School here. First I have to take care of the transfer letter. And to take care of it all I have to go back to Mataram City. Remembering the Seven Days Aunty Died is over.

_________________________________

" Uncle, Via is going to the City to ask for Zafran and Zul's School Transfer Letter." I asked for permission.

" Go, son, let Zafran and Zul here with Uncle. If Uncle goes to work there's Rina who'll take care of them." Uncle Say.

Bi Rina is Bibi's good neighbor, Bi Rina is not married and lives alone. He was 43 Years old, but Bi Rina had not married because she had not yet got a mate. Bi Rina really likes and loves Children including my Son. So I don't have to worry about leaving my two children to Bi Rina.

This morning I was ready to go to Mataram City. Uncle gave me three Hundred Thousand dollars for my bus fare to go there. I don't know, where Uncle got the money, actually I'm hard to accept money from Uncle. Remembering him is also in trouble. With the extra money left to me Seven Hundred Thousand. So the money totaled to One Million Rupiah. I think this money was enough for me on my way home.

Luckily, my two Sons Zafran and Zul are Understanding Children, They do not ask to come along or whine. This time I deliberately used the Backpack Bi Rina lent me. So that I can be free without having to carry a bag again. The weight of the load on my back and Zaki's weight made me feel a bit bored as I walked towards the Highway.

Uncle couldn't get me to where the bus was waiting for me to pass. You see Uncle in the morning had to go to Sawah Empikannya.

Three Buses to Mataram passed in front of us but the passengers were always full and there was no empty seat. About an hour or so I waited for the quiet Bus from the Passengers. And I Finally Saw A Bus from afar. I hurried to wait for the bus on the side of the road. I wave my hand to make the bus stop.

Luckily, the bus this time was quiet from Passengers to make me free to move. I leaned my back on the bus seat. And rest my tired body.

" Are you tired Via?" Ask a Man beside my Chair.

I turned to the side, curious at the voice of the man who greeted me. I scrunched my forehead looking at him in wonder. Looks like the guy I've seen but I don't know where.

" Do you remember and recognize me?" Smiling words.

That smile seemed familiar to me. I'm trying to twist my memory so I can recall it. But unfortunately, the problems and thoughts in my head make me a forgetful woman.

" It turns out that your Lord granted my prayer, I finally met you on this Bus without a promise. Isn't this a Destiny Via?" Smiling words.

" Yu-Yu-Dis?" I doubt. I didn't expect Judis to be fashionable like this. I barely recognized him because his face was so different. Like the Arabs, the sharp nose of Judis, his tiny lips and his brown Ball of Eyes make anyone admit that Judis is a very handsome Man.

" How could I forget the man who helped me." I smiled in a friendly manner.

" Thank you Via, because of you I can respect myself." He said thank you.

" You changed not because of me Judis, you changed because of your own efforts." My speech.

" You were right, but none of that escaped your support at that time." His words praised me.

Judis's face looks for My Two Sons. I also told him that My Two Sons I left in the Village with his Grandpa. Zaki looks very happy and laughs crisply as Judis teases and pinches her soft, chubby cheeks.

" I'm sorry about Judis, not that I meant to demean you. Do you still live in that house?" Say carefully.

Judis smiled casually.

" I burned the house down after you left." Her speech.

" And then..." My words were cut off in fear that Judis would be offended if I asked her too deeply in her personal matters.

" Don't mind if you want to ask me Via. Now I've returned to my Parents' house." Her speech.

I just looked back without having to ask again.

" Let Me have the Little One. You sleep." He offered himself. Which happened to be the little guy also hooked up with her.

The journey is still quite far to the Port of Tano. I put my back in the passenger seat. My eyes were closed enjoying the music.

I don't know how long I've been asleep. Suddenly the Bus We were riding had entered and parked to the body of the Sea Ship. I stretched my body for a moment and I saw that the Bus Passengers had gone up to the upper level of the Ship.

I was so panicked when Zaki and Judis couldn't find me on the boat. I ran and walked around in the ship until I went back down to look for the whereabouts of Judis and my Son.

" Sir, the Arab-like Man with the Little Child was sitting next to me. Where are they, sir? Did you see it." My speech.

" O Handsome Man is Mother's Husband Yes, I saw with his Son looking for a Public Toilet in the Park." The Bus Condenser. While locking the bus door.

" Have They returned on the Ship again, sir." I said very panicked.

" Lacking to know Ma'am, it may be on board. Try to find me." Speak to the Bus Driver casually.

If Judis takes my son with her to the toilet. It means they were left behind by the ship. I sat down and cried in the Passenger Seat. How foolish I am to trust a Stranger like Judis.
