RESIDUAL WAGES

Nindiana Kena Batu

Arriving at home, I was so happy when I saw my two sons running around to welcome my arrival. The swab of their tiny hands clutching my cheeks very gently made the feeling of fatigue on the way disappear just like that.

"What a pity Lisa, son? Must die in a two-bodied state and without a husband. May God forgive his sins." Uncle was sad.

"Via also felt very sad uncle. If Via knew at that time she was pregnant. Via won't let him go home alone. Via is very sorry about that." I said to Uncle I feel very guilty.

After resting my body at night, my body is so fresh. I am so happy to be walking barefoot on the path to the rice fields. The fresh air and green leaves make me so calm and comfortable. For today I'm on purpose a holiday for sale. Because I want to enjoy a day in the rice fields with my Uncle and my two sons. If I have to visit Zafran I can't because today is not the day of the pesantren.

Around two in the afternoon, when we were resting in the rice field house suddenly bi Rina caught up with us.

"Viaaaa, there's a guest!" Shouted bi Rina from a distance but her voice was still very clear I heard.

I also approached bi Rina.

"What's bi? Manya make sure.

"There's a guest looking for you a woman, her hair is blonde and she looks sexy." Said bi Rina mentioning her characteristics.

I frowned because I don't know who the woman bi Rina meant.

"Uncle, Riana came home for a while. Titip kids." I was a little screaming.

"All right, son." Sahut uncle.

When I got home, I was really surprised that Nindian was the one who came to my house.

"Nindiana?" My broom.

"I just need to leave this here." Nindiana gave me a blue map.

"Is this Nindi?" Askaqua.

"Open it" said Nindiana, looking haughty.

"Let's go in, it's not comfortable to see people from outside. Here Nindiana village, it is not appropriate for you to wear such minimal clothes." My words are a little uncomfortable to see Nindiana's rather open fashion.

Without answering, Nindiana followed my words.

Arriving inside the house I also began to open the map given to me. When I opened the contents of the map there was a land certificate in my name.

"This is my name Nindiana?" I wonder.

"Because the house in which Surya lived has been granted to you. I'm just begging you as a fellow woman. Please sign this that you give me the rights to this land." Nindiana.

I still think over and over again and still don't understand what Nindiana means.

"Like this Via, this certificate was made by Surya mas without your knowledge. And I only ask for your mercy so that you sign this letter that you have given all your rights to me." Nindiana

I looked into Nindiana's eyes filled with secrets and cunning. Maybe Nindiana thinks I'm a stupid woman and can be taken for granted.

"Alright, Nindiana. I'll sign it tomorrow at noon. Because I have to think about this first." I started playing Nindiana.

"What's different about Nindiana now? Your decision will be the same." Nindiana was a bit pushy.

"Why are you the one who asked for you also arranged for me Nindiana." I'm firm.

Nindiana agreed and went home with a man on a motorcycle. Nindiana seemed to be staying at the man's house.

Nindiana wanted to trick me out of her evil deeds. Right now what I'm doing is trying to contact Fatir. Lucky number I saved at that time when delivering Lisa's body to Mataram.

"Hallo Via, have you arrived safely?" Fatir sounded worried.

"Whataa? So the wicked woman came to your house. I'm asking you a favor Via, for whatever reason to stop him from coming home." Mas Fatir.

"Mas Fatir take it easy, Via has arranged everything. Because Via felt there was something strange about Nindiana's movements." My speech.

"Thank you Via, I'll be getting ready for your village soon. At most midnight we got there. Don't tell Nindiana we're coming." Mas Fatir.

After chatting with mas Fatir I was so relieved.

Though the agreement tomorrow afternoon, but Nindiana came again with the foreign man.

"Via, I don't have much time to wait for tomorrow. Poor baby I'm crying because I'm still breastfeeding." She asked for mercy by calling her baby Syakila.

"Sorry Nindiana, my decision is complete. So even if you cry blood I won't grant your wish." I'm firm.

Nindiana left my house without saying goodbye.

Ternreal mas Fatir and mas Surya have come. But I deliberately told Fatir to hide his car to be parked in

under the house stage bi Rina. So that tomorrow morning Nindiana does not suspect.

"Via, Nindiana is so evil. My mother's house has been sold to someone else. And the letter that was given to you was a fake letter and just wanted to expose you to his bad deeds." Obviously Fatir.

It was late at night when we slept to rest our bodies.

The cock crows signify the morning is coming. After the sun shines from the eastern horizon. We also had breakfast first.

"Mas misses this cuisine Via." Fatir praised my cooking.

"I'm also Via." Timpal mas Surya's.

While my two sons sat on the lap of Fatir while bribing him. I don't know, I suddenly thought of Judis when Fatir fed my two sons. And the shadow got stronger in my eyes. What's wrong with me.

Not yet noon, Nindiana had already come with the man again. Seeing it from the glass window, I also told Surya and Fatir mas to hide.

"Nindiana, I'm getting suspicious of you. Why are you so desperate to come so early." My speech.

"Come on Via, Mom just called me to tell me to go home. Syakila can't have her tagging if I'm not next to her." Nindiana's Reason.

"If you know your baby like that why you're reckless for days leaving him. What kind of woman are you!" Emotion said.

"Via, if you won't sign her, just say it from yesterday. No need to insult me, I came here with good intentions." Nindiana tried to defend herself.

"Is it really good intentions?" Fatir's words emerged from his hiding place.

Nindiana's face was so frightened. He tried to escape, but was stopped by Surya mas.

"So you set me up Via?" Nindiana could still be chirping.

"True, a cunning woman like you should be faced with cunning as well. If not, then you will use the good of the people and use the weak. You purposely made a fake letter and you told me to sign it so you could outsmart that I was the one selling my in-laws land. Sorry Nindiana I'm not that stupid." I pointed at Nindiana's face.

"The police will arrest you soon Nindiana. Because you've been cheating on selling rights that don't belong to you." Mas Fatir.

Nindiana's face was increasingly frightened, because it was squeezed She immediately rested at the feet of her husband mas Surya and cried bitterly.

We had planned to scare Nindiana into returning the money for the sale of the house and were responsible for her actions to settle the purchase to the one who bought my ex-in-law's house.

By threatening the crafty woman Nindiana will solve the problem of my former in-laws' house bought by others.
