The next few days, I kept doing my job. Duties as a wife, also as a teacher. It's exhausting, but if I had to quit my job, it would be boring. A day at home, with no reason to go out looking for fresh air.
I want to complain tired, but it's useless. Cook Aak won't care. She also still won't help me with the work she believes is my duty as a wife. He also did not realize his duty as a husband. To date, I have not received any money from my husband. Let alone for me to please myself, for daily needs alone still use my savings.
One night, I was in penance, and wanted to cover the clothes that were already up in the mountains. Since I lowered the standard of neatness of the room, I became often bodo. I'll do it if I want to.
"Mas, why don't you try to find another job, anyway? Why just wait for a call?" I ventured to talk about this. Long-long annoyed too, every day just see Cook play HP or sleep. Really not useful. If you work, you can at least earn.
"What work? I have no other skills." Cook Aak looked at me, ignoring his HP for a while. Even though the answer he gave indirectly had already broken my expectations.
"Well, what work can you do, Mom. There's nothing you can do at all?"
"Yes, I can only be clear. Can't be anything else." Cook Aak back staring at his phone screen.
"Motor workshop?"
"Can't."
"Wash motorbikes, cars, carpets?"
"It can't be clean."
"Hhh." I took a heavy breath. So what kind of work can my husband do? Even though he works no matter, what is important is halal.
"If not, help my father in the fields. If the harvest will be paid." I suddenly had this idea, so you know what Mas Aak's real attitude is. It turned out that she was not what we had imagined before marriage.
"If I wanted to go to the fields, I'd have done it a long time ago, Dek. The bread of my mother is also extensive. But I'm so lazy, that's hot, you know. Let's get people to play. We just sit sweet, if the harvest gets the same money can rations from the harvest."
"But if it is done by itself, the harvest is enjoyed by itself, Mas. Not just half of it. After all make work too, than at home just the same sleep .ain games continue. Sepet see know? I don't want to help you with the housework. If you do not want to help, yes papa, but at least do not add my work can not, Mas? I'm tired. Tired soul. You don't want to understand me, don't want to help me, but you don't do anything!" I was finally able to vent my emotions, the clothes that were in front of me were slamming, so strong was my strength. I felt no tears that I had been holding, finally fell too, in front of the person who made me depressed.
"You are now a husband, Mom. You have taken over my father's responsibility to me. So, you are the one who should take full responsibility for my needs. Giving a living and so on is all your responsibility. Do not think that doing homework is the nature of a woman! Because men can do it too. Stay how he is. Want it or not. You're not home, Mas. What's wrong if you lighten up my work?" I kept nagging in between my sobs.
"If you don't want to help with homework, at least get out, get a job! Don't just stand idly by, hoping the job will come! Dear time, Mom! All day playing HP, can not benefit anything. Can science also not, can money also not."
"What do I need to do, Dek?" Finally, Aak made a sound.
"Where try that! Ask people, whether there are job openings or not. So the store employee, so the handyman, or whatever you can do, Mas. So the taxi driver, parking attendant is also not a problem, or if you are ashamed of the work, plant vegetables in the rice field can you? Should I also cultivate the fields? Then, where is your responsibility as a husband, Mas? Will you depend on your mother forever? Are we just gonna live off my meager paycheck? It won't be enough, Mom!" I brought back the problem of living. Indeed my main problem with Mas Aak is actually only two things. He who does not want to help with homework, though free, and he who does not go looking for work.
"Again to the rice field is not every day is not a problem. The important thing is to keep it monitored. So at least there's activity, Mas. While waiting for a call from the welding workshop." I gave the best advice I could.
"OK, okay. Tomorrow I go to the fields, look around the conditions there."
"Well, that's dong, Mas. There's good intentions. Not only at home, playing games continues, wasteful quota, even though money to buy quota is also still asking for the same mother. Isn't it shameful to be of age, Mom?" I rubbed my tears, it felt relieved to be able to reveal what I had been craving all this time. Although it might seem disrespectful, disrespectful to the husband, not saying meekly, but if it was not like this, the Aak mas would not be likely to change. The codes are not sensitive, just mending me.
"Yes, sorry, Deck." Mas Aak bowed. I can't bear to see it that way either.
"Tomorrow I accompany to the fields, mumpung holiday. We find out what plants are planted there. We learn how to care and so on. So at least we have that savings, ma'am." I motivate my husband as well, hopefully he will really change for the better.
The next day, my husband behaved better. She wasn't hard to wake up to the dawn prayer, she also helped sweep the room, even she who cooked while I was washing clothes.
At breakfast, I was quite surprised by the taste of my husband's cooking.
"That makes you feel good, too, Mom." I feed again a mouthful of food after praising my husband's cooking.
"Yes, it's delicious, it's usually adventurous. Regular cooking." Cook Aak bragged himself.
"Devil, he said he likes adventure, but the same way is still stray!" I mocked Mas Aak, considering the events of that time.
"It's different, Dek. I've never been through that broken road, so it's only natural to be confused." Cook smiled, he defended himself.
In my heart I hope that my husband's current change will continue and will also be a better husband.
