Persist
"Hey, how come. This I brought inside, yes, it looks like you are troubled" said Rusdi who was in front of me.
This is how he behaves, sweet as if nothing happened. But from the first, I did not like the way he looked at me. But it turns out that in his heart it is more than a psychopath.
"Bo-maybe if not troublesome," I stammered. I can't deny, the fear approached until this jangtung as if to jump from the nest. But I can't be rash, I'm not you he suspects that I know his foul intentions. Especially until he knows that if I have heard the talk earlier, there is also a second Rusdi will eliminate me from this earth.
"Why do you, An. You want to flirt with my husband?" cynical Ma'am Meri when Rusdi brought my basket in front of the room. Rusdi offered to bring the basket into the room, but I refused. Hmh! So presumptuous. And Miss Meri was jealous thinking I was seducing her husband.
'Dong read, do I need to get a glass, so you can know yourself, you flirtatious. I love to tease people's husbands!" yell again. Hearing Mbak Meri's words involuntarily, my hands clenched firmly. I don't know what is seen from this Rusdi, Meri Ma'am loves him to blind jealousy like this.
"Who loves to tease whose husband is Ma'am? Let's try it together!" I said slowly but sharply.
Meri's mother seemed to open her eyes. Likewise with Rusi, it seems to be shocked by my words. I was just warming up, there's no way I'm saying it out loud.
"I was the one who helped Anita, honey. I'm just sorry to see it's a hassle,"
"You're a dream husband, Yang. I love you more and more," I feel nauseous hearing Miss Meri's words. Either bego or how, until not realizing if Rusdi is just using it. I'm the new one, I can already judge. Let's just say, that's his business. Maybe his brain has moved to Rusdi's head.
"Review you, Anita. It's unforgiving for you to dare to tease my husband" Meri glared with a sling to Rusdi's arm.
"But unfortunately, your husband is not my taste, Ma'am," Rusdi glared at my words. Likewise Meri, stomping her feet while glaring at me. I left those who were still hanging, then locked it from the inside.
I have to be careful with them, especially with Rusdi. Fortunately, I had asked for help just as Mbak Manda called the handyman to the house to replace the broken door handle that was broken earlier this morning. And now I can breathe a sigh of relief when I'm in the room.
Tok tok!
I heard people knocking on the door. My new activity of folding Sania's clothes stopped immediately.
Tok!
"An, open the door! It's Bude,"
I breathed a sigh of relief hearing Bude Indri's beacon. Kuraih hijab bergo lying on the table then wearing it. After this hair was covered I immediately went to open the door and met Bude Indri. When the door opened, Bude Indrio was seen accompanied by his mother next to him.
"An, this is Bude bringing you some food. You were still asleep, so left behind. Eat yes, nursing mothers eat a lot," said Bude Indiri handed food to me.
"Thank you very much, Bude," I said happily . From a long time ago, Bude Indri was my concern. That's what makes Meri and others jealous.
"No papa in the room, ma'am, because while keeping Sania as well," I reasoned. Why did my mother-in-law forbid me to eat in my room.
"Yes no papa, An, already there eating. Let it go, Ririn, maybe Anita is more comfortable eating in the room. Kan while looking after his son," said Bude Indri. Mom's face looks dislike but forced to smile when Bude Indri sees it. It's funny to your face, Mother-in-law.
After Bude Indri passed, I immediately re-locked the room door. Then open the food brought by Bude Indri earlier. My eyes sparkled when I found grilled ribs from a famous restaurant and a box of sweet martabak. Suddenly the hungry air enveloped. Thank you, Bude, this is a really good moodboster for me.

~Morning of the day
this morning I woke up fresher, the stomach was no longer painful. But still have to be careful and not under heavy pressure in order to really recover. I just called, telling you that for now I still can't get here to see Sania. I also have no problem, because the situation is still like this.
Tok!
While we were in the room, there was a sound of knocking on the door. So I moved to open the locked door.
"Why locked anyway, make it complicated. Emang I can not go into my own room.," ketus Mas Wawan then went inside and took a work shirt that was in the closet.
Yes, it seems that today Mas Wawan has started to enter work after days of leave. However, he often spent his leave outside the house.
"Where's my ration, Mas?" I asked after realizing that Mas Wawan was holding a small bag that I believed contained the money. But Mas Wawan just looked at me briefly, then ignored my words.
Today is payday, and I'm sure Mas Wawan has taken his money at the ATM. Before it falls to Mother and Mother Meri without a remnant, I must precede it. It's nothing, at the moment there is Sania that requires a lot of spending. Where they care about Sania's needs.
"Where's my ration, Mas?" Ask again. This time my voice sounded louder.
"What to? Don't make it up to you, Anita. You've been blackmailing me all out, so there's no more parts for you. Let Mother alone everything that megang, after all you have never starved, right?"
"All right, it's up to you, Mom. But don't forget yesterday's deal. You want to choose me to give it to the police station or to Bude Indri," I said casually but sharply. Hearing my words, Wawan looked at me. The look wanted to pounce, that was what was visible from the look on his face.
Already I guess, Wawan will renege on his own signed promise. But I am also not stupid, deliberately suppressing the sentence earlier so that Wawan think about my speech back.
"You're really fucking, Anita! You blackmail wife!" he said slowly, so anxious with me that his voice trembled in my throat. It is terrible, when the one who asks is the wife who should be his responsibility. But it's like I'm someone else who's just extorting his life.
Wawan took out an envelope from his bag, and gave it to me violently. Not rude, rather throwing it at my face. Looks like he's been preparing to give it to Mom. But it turns out I asked for it first.
My eyes widened as I opened the envelope given by Mas Wawan. The allowance for Mother herself is 8 million. How much is Wawan's salary? It is fitting that Mother can mingle with her social gang, the ration of Mas Wawan is also more than enough to have fun alone. Clothes and bags lined up in her room, it can prove that Mother is a socialite. While me?
