That afternoon, Hira and I both went home from work. I'm tired, and I'll make sure I'm tired, too.
There was nothing at the dinner table. I can only swallow my saliva. In fact, hungry is heavy.
So, I decided to buy rice paddocks only, full. Hira, I also offer to eat rice padang.
"The smell of sandwiches is the same as the jerky of a cigarette," he said.
"OKAY. I am also ah a side dish of bull jerky," I said to him.
Before long, I drove in my combet car to the padang subscription rice stall. Actually, I do not like rice paddocks because the portions are very much.
Well, the one who likes and loves the most rice field, Hira. He said, the rice food was the most appetizing.
"Darling, if there's a pedal, yes. Tell me the seller," said Hira, via chat. A few moments after I walked down the street.
"Okay," I replied briefly. Focus on the destination, heading to the rice stalls padang subscription.
"The cupboard is running out, Hira," I said, when I arrived at the rice stall padang subscription.
"Well, that's okay, there's nothing. Batokokong jerky," replied Hira.
Half an hour later, I reached home with two packs of rice.

"Mas, use our dong maid. It is not possible that we continue to buy packaged rice or eat out. It will not be healthy for my baby who is in this womb," said Hira, suddenly and make me a little bit of a sore.
"Huk.huk!" quickly I reached for the water flask, so that I did not continue to get sick, after a sprain of food.
"See me how much, baby. Wear the maid all," I said withholding the feeling of sprains. Because, her request made me dizzy.
"We like to eat out, how much. We can't afford to pay a maid" he said in negotiations.
"If there's a maid, come home from work there's food at home. Because, honestly, I did not have time to cook for breakfast, Mas," he added trying to urge me.
"Now, just gini. I can't afford to pay a maid. If for example you are. Who wants a maid, you. Honestly, I don't have any more money to pay the maid. We can live like this now, alhmdulillah. Moreover, later preparation ahead of you. So, I have to mourn more," I said trying to relax.
She's quiet. Speak no more. In fact, he quickly finished his rice field meal. Wash your hands and go into the room.
He likes to sleep fast. In fact, the wall clock still shows at 19:30 wib. Adhan isya also just finished.
"Geez, I'm gonna look at him. So far, only a year married, I see only this time Hira lazing. Right after she got pregnant young.
***
Tomorrow morning, Hira still won't talk to me. All can be guessed, surely because of his will I do not follow.
Yep. Logically speaking. Small salary. Wanna use a maid. Continue, pay the maid's salary, use what money?
My house is a mess, if there are no servants. Because, me and Hira, both went to school. Teaches. Departing in the morning at 07.00 wib, until the afternoon at 17.00 wib. So, understandably, no one pays attention to the condition of the house.
But even if it is like that, I am grateful. I can still enjoy life. In the past, when I was single, I didn't care if the house would fall apart or not.
Have eaten what yet. Everything went mediocre. I don't need anyone else to fulfill anything less than my life.
Now, I just felt, how heavy, the one who's married. Many trials, many temptations. Both of them came suddenly, in front of me. "Heheheheheh, I am complaining" said my mind, whimpering.
As the head of the household, I should not complain. We have to face everything that suddenly happens in our lives.

Replace me who is silent, do not respond to it.
"Mas, what do you think?" urge Hira so that I give consent to her proposal earlier.
"Whatever," I said as I passed leaving Hira.
We were both silent, until finally Subandi suddenly came, visiting my house.
The atmosphere melted with her presence at home. He brought some young corn. He said in-laws.
"It can be made clear mixed with spinach, young corn," I said in front of Subandi.
"Yes Mas Bro, jos gandos, if it's laid. Burned is good too, buttered. Make a weekly night with Hira," Subandi suggested.
"Hmmm. That's a good idea for you, too" I said, spontaneously
"Yes, tomorrow night we burn corn. I'm waiting for ya. You're the same Ratna should come," I said again, excited.
Subandi said okay. In fact, he was happy to be invited.
"Eat ya Bro, I buy rice padang," I said to offer Subandi.
"I've already maem, Mas Bro. I just want to take this corn. Dikasih in-laws, a lot of. I'm the same Ratna, can't afford to be told to eat everything. There are about ten kilograms," explained Subandi seriously.
"Ha. Very much indeed. Harvest huh?" my many.
"Yes Mas Bro" he answered.
"Why don't you ask me if it's harvest, I can help the pet," I said the sok-sook want to help.
"Oah, Mas Bro. Not much. Just how many tens of kilos," he said low.
"Hmmm. Much if tens of kilos," I protested.
"Heheheh," Subandi giggled.
"What matters is that it's safe, Mas Bro, I brought it home. So Mas Bro does not need to bother to the garden," said Subandi.
"Lho is not sold by the corn harvest. It's even divided into me." I said.
"Yes not Bro. Shared aja. Let it be a blessing" said Subandi.
Suddenly Hira fell asleep and joined in the living room. Ask about the housekeeper.
"Subandi, you know, the person who wants to be asked to work as a maid. Come morning, come home late afternoon" said Hira.
Hmmmm. He ruined my mood. I forgot to talk about the helpers. Uh this is asking the same question Subandi.
"Hmmm. Who, yeah. It's hard to find an honest maid. I used to have a maid, but she likes to steal things at home, take her home" Subandi explained.
For a moment, Hira was silent. Trying to reflect on what became Subandi's explanation of the existence of helpers.
"After I learned about stealing, I just stopped, he. Than to make it difficult. Mending does not use a maid. Indeed, since there was a maid, Ratna's work was done.
"Back of work, tidy house. But, who would have thought, with a maid, so life gets more complicated. I'm the same Ratna likes to fight because she likes to lose money. At first I didn't know that the thief was my maid. Until one day, when she lost money, Ratna ransacked my maid's room. He put the money under his bed. When I pushed, he wouldn't tell me. When I threatened him that he wanted me to report to the police, he said it to me. Finished business. I told him to go home. Keep the stolen money, I told you to bring it." explained Subandi told me details about his assistant who was caught stealing.
"But, not all of them, the maid will steal." Hira seeks a defense.(connect)
