Toyib is seen sitting in the living room chair, checking his billbook. Dimas took the remote, then turned on the television.
"You're leaving today, aren't you, Dim?"toyib asked, still looking at the book.
"No. I'm off today, "sohut Dimas.
"Today you don't have a bill?"ask Toyib again.
"There, anyway. But the same mothers whose homes near the crossroads in the village of Pak Parman. If you get a lot of reasons. Not yet get the money, the child is sick again, the money to use to pay for school is. Every reason is a lot of reasons. I'm tired of it, "that Dimas looks pissed.
"My consumers are also there who like that. The billing date is always reasonable to be gone. Sending a video of him again on his way somewhere as proof without feeling sinful. There's also something that every time I want to call the door is always closed. Said the neighbor had left by morning. Sorenya pas I samperin, said the neighbor has not come home. I call is not active, I come early in the morning not open the door. Though the neighbor said his person was inside," said Toyib sighing.
"Well, this is the risk of being a credit salesman," said Dimas.
Facing consumers who like to take credit goods but lazy to pay installments is common for Toyib and Dimas. Some run away after taking a lot of credit. There are those who are charged more fiercely than those who are billed. Some pay is always back from the billing date. To the extent that due to the constant retreat, installments that should be paid off within five months can only be paid off after one year. Well, that's the risk of a credit salesman.
We must know that whatever we do, there must be a risk. And each job has a different level of risk and difficulty. The greater the work we do, the greater the risks we will face.
"Yes, I want to go first" Toyib said.
"Aren't you praying Friday here?"asked Dimas who saw Toyib preparing to leave.
"I just call doang. Not carrying stuff. Before Friday prayers, I'll go home, "so Toyib put on his jacket, then took his hat and put it on.
"Where are you going?"ask Ayana who suddenly appeared.
"You take a minute. Before Friday prayers also come home. Wh why? Want to buy something?"ask Toyib who looks ready to go.
"Nothing, anyway. But are you sure you want to go out in clothes like this?"ayana asked as she scrunched her forehead.
"Why indeed? Usually Brother is like this, too, "why Toyib,"Why? Big brother, huh? Jealous that you got a new sister?"toyib asked as he blinked his eyes flirtatiously.
"Issh.. has been narcissistic, flirtatious again!"cibir Ayana and Toyib laughed.
"Udah, Brother is leaving! Looking for money!"toyib said as he walked to the door.
"Abang really sure you want to go to work like that?"tanya Ayana let out a long breath. Dimas watched television without paying attention to both.
"What's the matter, anyway?"toyib asked confused by Ayana's attitude.
"Abang wear a t-shirt, jacket, wear a hat, but only wear doang shorts. Surely willing to go in such clothes," said Ayana staring at Toyib's feet made Dimas turn towards Toyib.
"Astaghfiullah! Brother forgot to put on trousers, "Toyib immediately hurriedly returned to his room.
Dimas who had just noticed Toyib's appearance laughed out loud. The upper clothes already wear jackets, even hats, but the lower clothes are only shorts. Ayana is just a head shake.
"It's not old yet senile" said Dimas, shaking his head.
"Anything about senile people! I just forgot, "picked Toyib out of the room.
"Just like!"sahut Dimas's.
After Toyib leaves, Dimas calls Ayana.
"Oh, come here!"edict Dimas.
"What's up, brother?"ask Ayana while approaching Dimas.
Ayana sat down beside Dimas, and Dimas grabbed both of Ayana's hands. Gently grasping Ayana's hand.
"Well, later, after I finish Friday prayers, how about we go to a psychologist? I don't want you to be constantly frightened when it rains" said Dimas gently.
"It's not that I don't want to, but going to a psychologist is expensive, brother. And it can't just come once. I've been using too much of my sister's money, "sahut Ayana's feeling bad.
"It's okay, Ay. What matters is that you are healed. Toyib and I were always worried as we worked and saw the weather giving signs of rain. We are afraid, if one day we are not by your side when your trauma recurs. Want, yeah, some medicine?"bukuk Dimas tries to convince Ayana to seek treatment.
"Alright,"sahut Ayana agreed.
I don't know why Ayana always obeys whatever Dimas and Toyib say. Maybe because the two men always pay attention and affection to Ayana that Ayana never get from her own family. And feel always protected by those two men.
While at school, Ayana seems uncomfortable if approached by her male friends. Ayana does not feel comfortable with men other than with Dimas, Toyib and Pak Parman. In addition to the three men, Ayana will stay away from all men, including her school friends.
I have no desire to go out of the house, and only be close to women. I feel more comfortable inside my house than outside.
By noon, Toyib had returned to his contract. The man was carrying a plastic bag.
"What's the thing?"ayana asks when she sees Toyib coming home with a plastic bag. Because usually men who like snacking often come home with snacks.
"Buy cassava chips and banana chips. Here, hold the jar there!"toyib gave Ayana the plastic bag she was carrying.
"Don't remember if the snacks at home stay a little," said Ayana chuckled and accepted the plastic bag that Toyib gave her.
"Where are you?"toyib asked, taking off his jacket.
"Sister just finished taking a bath" said Ayana as she walked towards the kitchen.
"Then I want to shower first. Want to pray Friday," Toyib said.
"Bring Brother's change of clothes!"ayana reminded.
"Yes, yes, Brother remembers,"so Toyib then took the shorts and singlet t-shirts from his room,"Wait for me, yes, Dim!"pinta Toyib on Dimas who was taking Koko's clothes from the closet.
"Yes, the spit!"sahut Dimas's.
Ayana is eating chips that Toyib brought in the living room while watching television as Dimas comes out of the room wearing a sarong and Koko's shirt complete with his peci.
Ayana was always amazed when she saw Dimas dressed like that. Ayana felt that Dimas was many times more handsome when he looked like that. To the extent that his hand that was holding banana chips that had stayed a few inches in front of the mouth did not move. Busy to admire Dimas's good looks.
"Why do you see me like that? Is there something wrong with my clothes?"tanya Dimas who felt noticed Ayana. It surprised Ayana.
"Eng. really don't. Just more handsome aja,"sahut Ayana while turning her face red.
"What in school do you also often seduce guys?"ask Dimas suddenly.
"Ihh. where there is such," Ayana's idea did not accept, then went back to eating her chips.
"Come, Dim! We're leaving!"toyib distracts Ayana and Dimas.
"Anybody leaving now?"ayana asked to watch Toyib buttoning his Koko shirt.
"Yes,"sahut Toyib.
"I don't think there's anything less?"ayana asked Dimas to pay attention to Toyib, then to smile.
"Ah yes, Abang forgot to use the peci," Toyib said back into the room and shortly after out while tidying up his peci.
"It has. Let's go, Dim!"bring Toyib.
"Do you want to pray in shorts?"ayana asked then let out a rough breath, while Dimas laughed out loud.
"Astaghfiullah! I forgot again" Toyib said as he looked down and realized he was wearing only shorts without a sarong. Toyib rushed back into the room to put on the sarong.
Ayana could only shake her head because of Toyib, while Dimas still laughed out loud.
