"Assalamualaikum," a grown man came to Lili's house, he saw the man's clothes with the symbol of PLN. Lili just remembered that she had not paid the electricity bill for two months.
"Excuse me Ma'am, I'm here to take the electricity bill," said the man smiling stiffly.
"Well, I'm sorry I forgot to pay. How much the bill is bang," said Lili.
"It's only two hundred thousand, Ma'am," said the man occasionally glanced at Meli.
"After I take the money first," said Lili back into the house to his room to take the money two hundred thousand.
"It's bang, I'm sorry I've taken a shot." Said Lili.
"It's okay, ma'am, it's my job. Then I go first," said the man only getting a nod from Lili.
After the man's departure, Lili and Meli returned home to her in-laws but previously she would stop by the market to buy groceries and whatever menu would be cooked.
Along the way, Meli accidentally saw a dress shirt in front of the store that was worn on the statue. He stopped by without his brother-in-law's knowledge.
"Kok we stop here, Mel?" Ask Lili.
"I want to see the dress, kak, it looks good when in use when Lebaran," said Meli down from the motorbike, while Lili was just silent.
The clothes that Meli says are nice, simple but elegant. Moreover, the color is not striking, but what is the power of Lili can not buy clothes as she wants. Moreover, their economy is still up and down at this time.
"Come on Ma'am, we're home" Meli said out of the shop with two bags.
"Had bought her clothes, Mel, '" asked Lili.
"Let's try at home with mom" said the Meli who only get a nod from Lili.
Now their motorbike is splitting the streets, no matter the very hot sun. Meli was so happy to ride her father-in-law's matic motorcycle. It did not take long for them to arrive home after stopping by the market, seen Bu Imah holding Daffa.
"Assalamualaikum, ma'am," said his second greeting.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, Daffi has also woken up, Mom?" Tanya Meli took her son while Lili lifted the groceries they bought earlier in the market.
"Not yet, only Daffa had woken up like he was thirsty" Mother said.
"Yes, let Meli suckle first," said Meli.
Bu Imah simply nodded then walked into the kitchen helping his daughter cook for the iftar menu.
"What are you cooking, Li?" Ask Bu Imah.
"Not yet to know, Mom, I was just like Meli there buy squid like fish cob also vegetables," said Lili cleaning squid in the kitchen.
"Then we cook a spicy sour squid, later the fish is fried the same for clear vegetables," said the mother get a nod from Lili.
They also helped each other, did not feel the cooking was finished in cooking to break later. Lili glanced at the clock at 5 pm, she rushed to her room to take a bath because soon her husband would come.
The time for breaking has arrived, Bu Imah opens with his son and daughter-in-law making him happy, laughter sounds loud between them.
After sipping a glass of water, Bang Jali prefers to pray first after the new mother eats because the magrib time is not long. They also prayed together except for Meli who was idolatrous and chose to take care of her two sons.
"No need to deck, let brother take it himself! You just sit here" said bang Jali patting the chair beside her while her in-laws were smiling.
Lili just smiled shyly and then sat next to her husband, all eating solemnly except for the mother who ate first after breaking her fast and now is feeding the twins who are 8 months old.
"Mom, I bought clothes for my mother and Lili too" said Meli carrying a bag of crackles in front of Lili and her in-laws.
Meli took out the clothes she had bought with her sister-in-law and gave them both.
"Kok you buy also for Dek's brother," said Lili.
"Why indeed? I've considered that brother like my own sister so you don't have to feel bad for me, right Mom," said Mela hugging her in-laws.
"What your sister-in-law Li said, just accept the gift from her. Oh yes, yesterday you lost your husband about that shirt the other day,"
"Already, Mom. Later when I go home I take yes," said Lili, Bu Imah just nodded then returned to hold her grandson.

"By the way, the door to our house is open, yes" said Lili when they got home and saw their door open.
"Take the deck, try to see," said bang Jali pushing the door of his house.
"You're right deck, our house is a drift. Let's go in, let's see in the room," said Bang Jali directly barged into the house, he was very afraid that the securities would be lost in the thief's take.
They were astonished to see the messy room, not to mention the closet that was in Atik's brain.
"Let's look at the letter we've been keeping all this time, what's missing, including this house letter" said bang Jali.
"Yes bang," said Lili took a small key between her clothes and lowered her head to align her body with her bed, then pulled a little curtain of mattress that covered like a small drawer.
Lili put the key in with a trembling hand, fearing that the letters would be lost. Slowly the drawer was pulled out and Lili immediately took out all the valuable papers and gave them to her husband.
"Let's see if anything is missing" Lili gave the document, one by one Bang jali examined it including the documents of the house they occupied.
"If this document is not missing, then what the thief is looking for is here" the inner bang Jali said.
"Dek, look at our savings," said Bang Jali just remembered with the money that had been saved.
Hurriedly Lili walked towards the closet then looking for their piggy bank was not there, Lili was limp to see their savings were lost.
"Bang, our money is lost in the thief's bang," said Lili crying, hearing it made bang Jali surprised. He hugged his wife who was crying.
"Who's doing all this to us, bang," Lili said.
"Already on deck, we who are patient may be a test," said Bang Jali trying to strengthen his wife.
"Over the years we have saved it bang, every day I count it. The money was almost twenty million and all that I saved without buying anything bang," said Lili again crying, the ordeal so approached her household.
"Wake up deck, don't be like this?" Bang Jali tried to wake his wife. But Lili saw something under her bed.
"What is this bang?"
