RESIDUAL WAGES

Judis Failed to Go Home

Judis led Via to the front of the house. It appears that the two sons of Via ran to see their mother come home. She hugged and kissed her two sons.

"Om come here too, horee!" My son's cheer is joyful.

"Om, will we go to the beach by car? Zul wants to take Zul's friends." Uca Zul happy.

"Sure" said Judis promise.

"Honey, Judis just drove me here. Judis is coming home soon." I was clear to both my sons.

" Yeah? Why come home so quickly! We haven't played with you." Zafran said disappointed.

"Om gonna play with you, om gonna stay here." Yudis rubbed the heads of Zul and Zafran.

"Horeeeee!" back my son cheered.

Bi Rina, Uncle and Grandma of Siam welcomed me home very happily. Judis was also invited by uncle into the house.

"Famous uncle, I am Judis his friend Via." Yudis greeted his uncle's hand and introduced himself to Siamese grandmothers and Bi Rina.

Zul and Zapran did not want to leave Judis and remained attached to Judis's lap like stamps. Repeatedly Bi Rina told them to play but my two sons would not leave Judis.

"Yam Then with you papu balong." [Via, your friend is like the son of a very handsome sultan] Praise Siamese grandmother by using my regional language.

Although Judis did not understand what the Siamese grandmother said, Judis still smiled in response to the words of the Siamese grandmother.

"Via, who is that guy outside? Very handsome as a soap opera artist." Bi Rina was fascinated. So fascinated Bi Rina did not realize that the tea she was drinking was still very hot. Luckily we were in the kitchen. If you were outside with Judis, Bi Rina would be embarrassed.

"Ha hu ha ha," bi Rina's mouth was overheated.

Siamese grandmother who saw Bi Rina's behavior chuckled until her tooth that was toothless was all visible.

"Sorry before, son of Judis, this is the state of our home. Maybe the son of Judis is not used to sleeping on a mat like this. There's no guest room here either." Obviously uncle by what it is.

"I'm used to more than this uncle. Even I sleep with grass and a cardboard box." Judis said humbly.

"Don't go too low for Judis, uncle is not good." Said Uncle in disbelief.

"If uncle still doubts can be asked directly to the sweet boy." Yudis looked at Zafran and Zul who were playing.

"So forgot, because of the preoccupation of chatting uncle forgot to offer his tea. He he he, actually the incantation angel in drinking. It's been cold." Said Uncle, inviting Judis to drink his tea.

Tonight I did not cook because of the rice and all the side dishes that Judis had wrapped in in the pasture house were quite a lot. Not just Siamese and Bi Rina's grandmother. But my neighbors also invited me to eat together. They were all very happy and Judis enjoyed his meal.

"Thank you, handsome boy" said my neighbor flirtatious and seductive Judis.

When the uncle took ablution water to perform prayers isya. I also told my uncle that Judis has no faith in us. Seemed uncle's face was a bit disappointed but understood and nodded.

Morning came, it was time for Judis to get ready to continue his journey to the island of Komodo.

"Om promised Zafran and Zul to go to the beach with our friends." And Zafran and Zul took the promise of Judis.

"This morning we go, be prepared." Yudis smiled.

"Horry! Wait here, yeah. Zafran and Zul will call our friends." Said Zul and Zafran running around calling their friend.

"Judis, you will soon leave for the island of Komodo. Aren't you fired by your boss for being late." Asking me worried.

"Don't worry Via, my boss is a good man. I can't break a promise to the kids. If they were disappointed then Zafran and Zul would never trust me again." Yudis smiled.

"Thank you Judis has been kind to me and to my three children." Sincerely said.

"I'm only doing a little for you and your son Via, while your kindness is too much for me." Judis' words made me feel confused. All this time, he did a lot for me.

Zafran and Zul brought their schoolmates about 8 people. Judis who saw the arrival of Zul and Zafran's friends smiled amusedly.

"Om, pity the friends of Zafran and Zul, they have never seen the beach. Especially by car." Zul said as is.

Judis's eyes glazed over and rubbed my Son's head gently.

"Let's go" Take Judis and put the children in his car.

I waved at Judis' departure to the beach with the children. Actually Zaki also whined to come along. But I will not allow Zaki to be taken by Judis, fearing that Zaki might trouble Judis later. Even though Zaki is no longer breastfeeding, at least Zaki is still happy to be carried.

I almost forgot to give the children's shopping money to Judis. How will they be on the beach a lot of want to buy this and that. Not to mention the children who are 8 friends of Zafran and Zul.

"Via, I'm sorry if uncle asked you anything rude. Do you like that guy?" Ask your uncle seriously.

" Uncle, Via has just divorced and also Via has no intention to marry again. The problem of feeling Via has no feelings for anyone. Via and Judis are pure friends. Moreover, Via and Judis are not convinced." I was honest with my uncle.

"But, it looks like that guy likes you son. Do not give hope to men, let alone Judis is not as true to us." Uncle's message.

" Via understood uncle, Judis only considered Via an ordinary friend nothing more." I deny uncle's prejudice.

" Daughter, this uncle is a man. The Judis harbors a deep feeling for you. He is indeed a good man, if only Judis was as good as us uncle would have supported you with him especially Judis very dear to your three sons sincerely." Seriously said uncle.

Honestly, for now I don't think about feelings or want to get married again. If men like me then it's out of my control. Because I don't feel like a teaser to anyone. Perhaps uncle's prejudice against Judis has a point. And if Judis tells me her feelings then I will reject her at that very moment. But until now Judis was ordinary.

For now I want to focus on caring for and educating my three sons. The money given by Mas Surya as a living money at that time. I'll make venture capital later. I want to try to bring my three children back to life. Even though at that time, Surya had signed a monthly living money agreement, he would be given. I don't want to be so hopeful.
