RESIDUAL WAGES

Simple Desire My Son

Today Mas Surya entered the work Shif night. Mas Surya works at a Five Star Hotel in the City as Security. Seven Years Mas Surya worked at the Five Star Hotel. And Two years ago Mas Surya was appointed Chief of Security. From the beginning of the marriage I never knew how much Mas Surya was paid. All I know was that it was still in the amount of Two Million Rupiahs and now it's a bit increased by Three Million more. Three million were handed over to me while the rest were held by Mas Surya for commuting to work.

" Your needs have been bought all from kitchen needs to other needs for one month Please save in using it" said Mas Surya pressing the word Save.

" How about shopping Our Children every day?" Reminded me.

" You always make me dizzy. The need I just bought was already gone Three Millions. My salary is almost gone. And then you charged me with our Son's shopping money." Annoyed annoyed.

" Hurry up Mas Surya felt dizzy, how about Via that sufficed all that for 10 Years. It should be Via to be with Mom." My words cornered Mas Surya.

" All right, I want to go to work" said Mas Surya passed away on his Motorcycle.

Although now I no longer hold the salary of Mas Surya anymore, at least I do not bother to think about the needs of this house. But as a Housewife with no money to hold let alone breastfeed like me, there must be something I want. But I need to be able to hold back and be patient a little more.

I went to the kitchen to see all the kitchen needs that were bought by Mas Surya. Sure enough everything is complete from Seasoning to Lauk-Pauk. But it looks like Lauk-Pauk is not enough for the next month. But it's just enough for one week. Remembering We live in this house numbering Seven People. Not to mention Lisa who is skinny portion of her meal can be for Three People. But I was surprised by his undeveloped body shape. Still skinny high not contained.

" I think you've realized Via, you must be afraid that your Husband will leave you. Eat it don't get a dagger. If you obey like this, it's good" Mother said, Eating the food I just finished cooking.

I ignored Mom's babbling again and preferred to be quiet. This time I'm not as stupid as I used to be. Before They ate I first filled my stomach and the stomachs of My Two Sons. There will be no more drama leftovers for me.

" Sister, make again dong Sopnya. Lisa likes it" My sister-in-law said commanding me lightly.

" I'm sorry Lisa, we have to skimp. Ration for today is appropriate Portion" I said seriously then passed leaving Lisa and Mother at the dinner table. I'm lazy to have to linger with them. Moreover, I do not like to hear the babbling of my Mother-in-law.

" Mom, Zafran School Shoes are torn and uncomfortable to wear at Zafran's feet" said My Son complaining while showing his Shoes.

" Good Ma'am" Zapran said directly lying on his bed. After the lecture, both of my Sons after dinner Zul immediately fell asleep. While Zafran is still chattering teasing his younger brother Zaki who has not slept.

________________________

The long school holidays have arrived. Thank God both of my sons are equally accomplished. Both are class champions. Time seems to be rolling so fast. Next year, when starting to enter the School Zafran went up to the Sixth grade Elementary School. While His Brother Zaki Rises to the Fourth grade of Elementary School. My baby is now over a year old. But the change of residents of this house is increasingly becoming. Be thankful I'm not as weak as I used to be. Even though I dare to fight, Humiliation and insults are still my daily food.

" Mom, all of Zafran's friends are on vacation. There are those who vacation to Kampung Grannynya there are also those who go on an excursion with his Family. When are we, Mom?" My son wishes.

" For now we're home, son, your father is busy working. Moreover, Brother Zafran is still a child carried everywhere" I replied giving an excuse to Zafran.

" Mommy's answer must have been mulu. I'm always busy working for money. But if you're looking for money for us why Zafran never bought a toy by Dad. Like any other friend. Arka Teman Zafran also his father is busy. But Arka's father always had time for Arka." My son began to compare his father's attitude to others. Zafran is 10 years old. At least Zafran already understand and understand the circumstances around. Moreover, Zafran Anak who is smart and not easy to give reasons that contradict his logic.

" Patience son, I promise someday I'll take you on vacation" I promise.

" Promise yes Ma'am" Zafran said expectantly. I also kissed his head. There was sadness in my heart when Zafran wanted something simple but I couldn't. Though Children of the same age They only ask for the love and togetherness of their Parents. Mas Surya forgot to make us happy His family, always busy working and working. Even though walking in the morning together while enjoying snacks at a sidewalk stall is something romantic for me and the children. I also want to go home to Kampung Page . Since Married and decided to come to the City with Husband I have never seen my hometown again until now. If I express my wish always Mas Surya reasoned there is no money. Somehow the fate of Uncle and Aunt in the village at this time. Because the signal constraints in my village are not adequate, so I find it difficult to communicate. A remote village far from the hustle and bustle of the crowd now I can only miss.

" Mom, Zul is hungry" said my son Zul, who had just returned to play. Immediately I took the rice into the kitchen. I found Lisa and Mom enjoying their lunch. It was fortunate that this afternoon after cooking the Fish and Vegetables I told both of my Sons and me. Without a word I brought the Rice I had in my hand to the room. Mom and Lisa just looked at me with astonished looks. Because usually I often ask for Rations of Fish and Vegetables to be left behind.

" Eat the Son" said I put a rice plate with Lauk Pauk in front of Zul Anakku.

I used to look forward to the rest of the food from the residents of this house. But now I keep food for me to eat with my Two Sons. I don't know until when I'm going to do this. Looks like I have to express my desire to Mas Surya to contract the House or rent Kos. Hopefully Mas Surya agrees to my wish.
