The Same Dream

After coming home from my parents' house, the three of us relaxed in front of the television. I want to express my fear to Mas Jain. But I undo my intentions, because the answer that came out of Jain mas I can guess, it will say I'm better.

I exhaled a rough breath. Until 11 pm we moved into the room because Einy had also fallen asleep. We never sleep with mosquito nets, because the air is very hot in this house. For us, every night this house is always hot. Even though it is raining storm outside, inside the house must always be warm. The temperature feels very different.

Every night we sleep with a fan on all night. Often the three of us slept without clothes, only wearing pants without clothes.

I can't understand why it's been a night for me to sleep close my eyes. My mind drifted here and there. Sometimes I think the truth is completely unnecessary.

I just tried to close my eyes to fall asleep, and the clock showed me at 00:01 in the morning. My eyes are not sleepy at all.

Maybe around 00:02 then I can fall asleep. But I had an unpleasant dream. The real dream is not from my mind.

I saw Mas Jain making out with another woman. The two of them were making out without even wearing clothes. I was shocked at the sight, and I did not scold them at all. I just left them.

I felt sad and devastated by the dream. Until I woke up, I was grateful that it was just a dream.

I woke up early and prepared breakfast for Mas Jain. I also made him a black cup of coffee.

"Dad?" ask Mas Jain while sitting sipping his coffee.

"What?"

"I had a weird dream last night."

"What dream?"

Mas Jain seemed to have misplaced wanting to tell me his dream.

"I had a dream last night you're the same as other men."

I was surprised to hear that. Why can it be the same?

"Are you the only one who dreams that way? I also dreamt last night you cheated on another woman. But, strangely I'm not angry, but I'm going to go."

Maybe mas Jain thought that I was just making up to reply to his words. I don't know what he was thinking, but after that we both didn't continue to discuss it. Because for us the dream is just a useless sleeping flower that has nothing to do with our feelings.

"Bah, ma'af ya mbah."

"Yes it dok, Mbah also rich in how to see it. Later the net will be exalted again yes ndok."

"Yes mbak, I've been back and forth talking to Jain mas to install a higher net. But, he was talking about this and that, which made me very annoyed."

"Bah plant is broken eh ndok.. piye ki(how is this)?" he said with a smile.

I feel even more unwell, but on the other hand Jain is also very stubborn. Fortunately today mas Jain payday. I feel a little relieved that I'm going to buy a net. I was waiting for him very impatiently.

Mas Jain came home and took out his salary money and gave it to me. Because we have to pay the rent, so our shopping money is only 400 thousand left.

"Mas, I want to buy chicken nets. How many meters do we need?"

"15 meters."

"What are you really?"

"You count by yourself, next to 3 meters. In the back there left right each 6 meters, so 12 meters. Total 15 meters."

"15 meters by 6000, that's 90,000." I thought for a moment, "are you 150 thousand enough to buy cigarettes as gasoline for 1 week?"

"Enough, but not enough."

I was silent to hear it, "ayo mas, we buy rice first."

We shop at the front stall, a fairly cheap stall. I bought 5 kg of rice, onion and white, Einy's milk and an electric token. Then we went home.

I was surprised to see the remaining spending money was only 100 thousand left. If I buy a chicken net worth 90,000 it won't be possible, because there are only 10,000 left. I feel so sad thinking about it.

"Mas, the Mbah complained again about the chicken clawing the plant." I showed my sad face.

"If the monk talks again, tell him to talk to me directly!" My husband is upset.
