RESIDUAL WAGES

First Trial

Zaki is very excited to play with Mother Mery. While I was busy helping Bi Ina cook for dinner. Now Bi Ina I tell you to sit sweetly while watching me cook.

"Let's just aunty son, you should rest Via." Said Bi Ina from earlier telling me to just sit down.

"Auntie this time relax ya Bi, let Via who will cook." Smiling words.

"Son Via, Auntie's here on the payroll. Time for Via to cook?" Said Aunt not good.

Regardless of what Bi Ina said, I stuck a spoon out toward her to taste my cooking.

"Waaah, this is so good, Via. Must be Miss Mery's gonna eat your cooking." Bi Ina praised.

"Auntie can do it" I smiled.

I also put the food on the dining table. While Bi Ina cleans the cooking place. Even though I told you my kitchen business would be done. But Bi Ina refused and kept doing her job.

After arranging the dinner table as beautiful as possible, I also called Mother Mery and Judis to dinner.

"Mother dishes are ready." I said to Mother Mery.

" Let's go, let's eat together." Take Mother to Judis.

"We maam duyu, we maam dong" said Mother Mery invited Zaki to talk while holding her to the dining table.

"Waaah, dinner at this five-star restaurant" Praise Mommy Meri look at the table setting.

I purposely decorated all my cooking with a garrison. To make my cooking look attractive in the eyes. My dream was to become a chef. And at Bu Mery's house I was able to develop my talents because the kitchen here is all very complete. From groceries to kitchen utensils it allows me to bring out my imagination. Plus the time I have allowed me to do it. Until I can freely casually spill my hidden skills all this time.

"Bi Ina, today's cooking is special for us, thank you Auntie." Said Mother Mery.

"This is all Via for Mom, I just had to sit down." Bi Ina.

"really?" Mother said surprised.

"Yes Ma'am, it's Auntie's time to make such decorative dishes. Where Auntie knows to make flowers with tomatoes so. It could be 5 hours long Aunt cook it then Mom. Hi hi hi." Bi Ina is funny.

We also laughed together, because Bi Ina's laughter felt crisp and very funny.

"Well, O Judisnya yes, twice added euy." Mother Mery seduces Judis.

"Mother's Son" said Judis briefly and continued to devour his food.

"Take you really good bangeeeet!" Praise Bi Ina for giving her two thumbs up.

"Still Bi" I said.

I'm so flattered, the residents of this house love my cooking. I feel so happy tonight.

After dinner, we sat together in the living room and enjoyed a snack and watched television together. Sometimes I laugh when I see a funny scene in the movie. I saw a pair of eyes watching me. Yes, Judis looked at me earlier with a look that I could hardly describe. Maybe Judis was surprised to see me laughing like that. Remembering all this time I was impressed to keep the image and quiet.

I don't think time has shown Ten o'clock at night. But I am still in front of the television. The residents of this house had all slept into their respective rooms. Maybe it's because I've never been this relaxed so I'm too tired to enjoy it.

Uhuk Uhuk Uhuk

The voice of Judis coughed as he went down the stairs, and Judis went to the kitchen to get a cold drink and two pieces of cake placed on the plate.

"Watch it while snacking new exciting" he said giving me a piece of cake and a bottle of cold drink.

"Still Dis" I said shortening his name.

"What am I saying?" Ask.

"Who said?" I wonder.

"That's why I called my name Dis" he said .

Judis just smiled in response to me.

"Tomorrow you where you go with Mom." Ask Judis kepo.

"You're nanyea?" My words are more mimicking the one that's viral at the moment.

"Yes, I was wondering. Ha ha - ha..." Judis and I laughed together.

Wall clock shows at 11 p.m. My eyes are getting sleepy. And I told Judis to go into the room. Judis went upstairs to sleep.

I saw Adzan echoing, I hurried to get up to go ablution. I saw Bi Ina already struggling in the kitchen.

"Aunt is praying?" My broom.

"Auntie again hitch kid." Say Aunt.

After praying I approached Bi Ina in the kitchen.Fortunately My son Zaki is not breastfeeding anymore because he is already two years old.

"Auntie rest yes, let Via aja ngerjain." My speech.

"We work together how. One team is that." Said Auntie sok gaul.

"Alright, if it wants aunt." I continued the work.

"You're great, Via, sorry. Aunty last night overheard you guys laughing. For a long time, this was the first time Aunt had seen Judis laughing so loosely." Said Aunt seriously while stirring the flour dough.

"That means Judis all this time ice cubes dong Bi" I said.

"Yes that guy kol" said Auntie Gaul.

"Ha ha ha, not aunty cabbage leaf but cool" I laughed at my aunt.

"Aunty's indecent maglum doesn't speak western." Auntie said chuckling.

After breakfast Me and Mum Mery left for the religious court office. It was Judis who brought us.

"Don't worry Via, later in the mediation room get all your uneg-unegmu out. And remember what you taught. Ok." Mother Mery encouraged me.

In the waiting room I saw Mas Surya accompanied by his lover Nindiana. I just glanced at them without having to reprimand. Before long my trial number the caller. Me and Surya went inside. We were shaking hands but not greeting.

We were found in the mediation room. Mas Surya still kekeh with his stance to divorce from me. But I deliberately buy time to not want to divorce before the living money and the rights of my children are fulfilled. In the mediation room Mas Surya could hardly control himself because of the emotions with my demands.

"I will never sign this divorce papers before the money for a living for one year has not been paid now also 3 million rupiah multiplied by 12 months. Total of 34 million rupiah. And when I get divorced later my three children must be paid each month for 3 million rupiah." I'm calling out for my son's rights.

"I object, because what he's doing is not in line with my ability and income. Especially now that I don't have a job." Mas Surya said objection.

"In that case, I won't sign the divorce papers. Point. And if my husband marries again without my will. I will sue." I'm firm.

The face of Mas Surya who was emotional and fierce now looks shrunken guts. Because the first trial will not end peacefully it will be continued with the second hearing according to the day that has been determined by the religious court.

When I came out of the mediation room, I saw Mas Surya approaching me.

"I'll make sure you sign the divorce papers. I know you came here for sure you owe it to your village. Remember that! Dealing in that city requires a thick pocket." Mas Surya tried to insult me again.

"Where do you know if I owe you in the village." Not finished my speech to Mas Surya, Mother Mery has come to me.

" It's over, son, sorry I was preoccupied with playing with Zaki." Said Mother Mery.

"Had Mother" I stepped up and climbed on top of Mas Surya's luxury car.

Mas Surya's gaze was like disbelief if I can currently ride a luxury car. Until Mother Mery's car came out of the gate, Mas Surya was still standing glued to the departure of the car I was riding.
