The Rise of the Insulted Woman

The Rise of the Insulted Woman
5. the spirit that is in the crown



It has been two months since she performed self-care on her face. He is grateful because the acne that once appeared is now gone even though it leaves a little mark.


In the midst of his focus on improving his face he intends to reduce his weight which reaches 80kg. Siti recalled a few years ago, she went on the wrong diet. This time he did nothing wrong a second time. He plans a healthy diet.


Siti started searching through her mobile phone. He was looking for a healthy diet, what he should do, what he should eat. Although it takes a long time Siti will still try, her spirit is on the crown to see the changes on her face.


Siti noted what she should do for a healthy diet, she chose a way that is not burdensome.

"Eh look, Siti's face is a bit quieter than before. It's a little cleaner, even though it's still black." Whispers of neighbors gossiping in front of the house.


Siti heard it, but she kept quiet. He doesn't want to bother with their talk. Siti's accumulated heartache makes the demon inside Siti instigate it. He is determined in his heart to change completely, if he has achieved what he wants then he will silence their mouths in his own way.


He started riding his bike on the road. While in a narrow alley he met his budhe who worked in the city.


"Budhe Janah, when to go home." Ask


"Eh Siti, just yesterday. You sell cakes? Don't work in the shop front of the alley anymore?" Ask budhe Janah


"No budhe. I moved to the city, so I helped mom sell cookies."


"Oh that. Budhe bought his cake."


After finishing choosing the cake that budhe Janah wants pamit because there is a need. Siti also continued her journey of peddling her merchandise.

"When we get married, where do we live? Cos you what's my house?" Ask Haris. They were enjoying lunch in a shop.


"If you stay at my boarding house, don't your parents mind? You have no brothers." Ask back


Tini did not introduce Siti to Haris when she came to his house. My parents did not discuss Siti, because they focused on the conversation about Haris who would invite Tini to visit the man's house.


Siti had said that she was very sincere if she was stepped by her sister. Siti does not want if Tini is late to get married just because of her.


"No problem. Same mom must have understood. Let me talk slowly to them." Answer Tini


He would agree if Haris asked him to stay at the boarding house. He doesn't want Haris to know about Siti. Maybe sooner or later this lie will be revealed as well, but Tini does not want if the presence of Siti revealed now. He doesn't want Haris to leave him even before they get married.

At noon it was seen that Mr. Rusdi had returned home.


"Cock tumben sir? Not feeling well?" Ask Mr. Lastri who welcomed Mr. Rusdi's arrival


"Yes, giddy father, cheerful. I'm going to rest first, ma'am." He walked into the house and into the room.


Miss Lastri just went to the kitchen, she made warm tea for Mr. Rusdi.


"Sir drinks first his tea. Let's eat it." Bu Lastri said a glass of warm tea

The next day Siti started her diet program. He ate a lot of fruits and vegetables, eating yogurt and other supporting foods to lose weight


Tini who saw it just looked at him cynically, so hateful to her brother whatever he did wrong in Tini's eyes. Although he knew Siti was making changes in him, but that did not make Tini to be sympathetic or at least respect for her brother.


Tini's hatred is rooted in him, if only he could choose a family, Tini would not want to have a sister like Siti. Moreover, some time ago Mr. Rusdi slapped on his cheek just for defending Siti the ugly, the lady the pesky and other expletives.


Siti knew Tini was watching her, Siti noticed Tini's unsightly eyes, but she was in bodo. Siti does not care if people will see how, she must focus on her goals, it is not easy to change destiny but if she can change it even with a limp step, why not?


"Would you eat a diet again?" Tanya Tini opened the chat, more precisely paving the way to make a phrase that would make Siti not confident to continue her diet program


"Yes tin. Let's not be ashamed of having a sister like me."


Tini smiled, yet her smile was more appropriate like an insult. "Udah is embarrassing. It's too late to change, you think changing your ugly physique takes a little while? No mbak. Must be a long time, years. You can be sexy but old." Tini laughed


Siti did not respond, she chose to go to her room. It's okay his sister insulted him all out now, but just look what will happen if he really manages to change himself, thought the fat woman.


It was Tini's insults that made Siti become more eager to change, it was the heartache of her sister that made the demon soul in Siti more and more controlled herself. If he gets insults from others reasonable, but if his own sister who always insulted even worse than the neighbors, then Siti does not justify it.

During these two weeks Siti was still consistent with her program. He still eats foods that make the weight in his body reduced.


That morning he tried to weigh himself. Siti widened her eyes in disbelief, for two weeks it turns her weight down 2kg. It's a little, but it's okay at least there's a drop, rather than no produce at all, right? Her thought.


Siti is one of the people who are grateful, that is the plus of Siti that is unknown to many people. Despite living with insults, maki caci, there are still things that make him grateful. Siti's spirit is getting blind, she is very happy with the small changes in her, the face has started to clean, the weight is reduced, it is not easy but she can, thought the woman.


Siti walks into the kitchen in a new spirit.


"Are you ready for the cake?." Ask Siti so until the kitchen


"Udah. Well the face of the mother's child has begun to clean, there is still acne but a little bit of it." Bu Lastri said he was happy with the change in Siti


"Alhamdulillah ma'am, my weight has also dropped 2kg. Not bad ma'am, if I stay diligent with my diet program I can be skinny ma'am." Answer Siti happy.


"Yes son. Don't be too thin either but, don't be thin, ugly is that too." Advice from Lastri


"Yes Mom. I'm leaving first, Mom. Assalamualaikum." Siti kisses the back of her hand.


"Vaalaikumsalam. Careful."


Tini who accidentally heard the brief chatter of her brother and mother only responded with a dismissive smile.


"Look, if he will be consistent with his diet program, ntar a month two months also already give up on him." Inner Tini frown
