“Why are you bringing someone else in on this? I never thought so at all. You always like this, involving others when we fight!” reply Elsa commented on Rian's speech to her.
“I have absolutely no regrets about marrying you, why do you compare yourself to others? All I want is that you don't go to the city, why don't you want to understand that?” elsa looked at her husband sadly.
“That doesn't want to understand it's you, Elsa. I did all this for a reason. I want our economic condition to improve, but you give me a big headache and still want me to be here. Are you happy that we're the neighbor's talk? Do you feel happy when your husband becomes their gossip? You like us being insulted constantly by them? I don't want that, Elsa. I want to be happy with enough economy!” rian said for the umpteenth time he wanted to open Elsa's mind so that she would understand that this was all for their happiness.
“Happy doesn't have to count with material, Rian, who says I'm not happy right now? I'm so happy even though we live like this. I never complain, I never ask you to give me a treasure, I just want us to be together without having to be far apart. That's it, Rian,” said Elsa. Elsa wants Rian to understand that what she wants is not a treasure, but to stay together no matter what.
Rian let out a long sigh, Elsa is really stubborn. Not believing that Elsa would be this stubborn, Rian initially thought that Elsa might understand after their argument. However, it turns out that Elsa does not want to understand, the woman even more pressured him not to leave. Precisely, when increasingly pressed like this, he will have more determination to go to the city whatever the obstacles. Especially when he had heard scorn from neighbors about his family that makes Rian's instincts increasingly encouraged to find sustenance outside the city. With the hope that his family's economy will change when he works in the city later.
“Elsa, you only think about your feelings. Don't you think we're not alone now? There is a Faqih among us, as a responsible husband and father I must prepare a future for you, especially Faqih. Maybe Faqih is still a baby at this time and does not need other costs. But the more she grew, the more I needed to prepare funds for milk and other Faqih needs. When Faqih has started school, there are many costs that must be incurred. Money from where to pay for all that if I don't work, Elsa?” Although Faqih's journey was still long because he was currently a baby, but Rian had already thought about it to that extent for his son. Rian wanted to send Faqih high up so that his son could be successful and not like him.
Elsa paused for a moment when hearing the long speech from her husband, she digested every word Rian said. Elsa did not expect that Rian would think that far for their future, especially Faqih's future. However, even so, the door to Elsa's heart was still not open to allow her husband to work out of town. Elsa is still afraid and not ready if she has to live alone with Faqih here without her husband. Elsa was afraid that what she feared could happen, she really did not want Rian to leave. Let's just say he's selfish right now because when Rian thinks about their future, he thinks about his own feelings.
“I don't really want to go either, Elsa, but I'm forced to do this for you. I was forced to go find a job outside the city, all that for our bright future.” Rian lowered his tone, this time hoping that Elsa would understand and let him go.
“I still don't let you go,” said Elsa in an unexpected way Rian if he would answer so.
“As far as you are! I'm sick of you being too stubborn!” rian then leaves the house, leaving Elsa staring at her husband's departure in silence.
Rian came out of the house, as he walked away he saw the neighbors standing near his house while constantly staring at him, they whispered as if they were talking about him. It was not as if, but rather that they were indeed talking about Rian and Elsa at the moment. They say that Elsa and Rian's household is very chaotic, they insult and scorn Rian who is not good at educating a stubborn wife like Elsa.
“Padahatan is poor, but her husband wants to work out of town alone is not allowed. How's that Elsa?”
“In the basis of their fighting hobbies, if I am Elsa better ask for divorce from a husband who does not have a permanent job like Rian.”
“He was right about that. Elsa is pretty enough, I think even though she is a widow, there must still be a rich man who wants to be with her.”
“Duh, what are you guys doing? They marry for love, can you imagine for yourself how people marry for love? Where they might think ahead.”
“Ah yes, love it ‘kan blind. When married do not think that household life will be like what if without treasure.”
“I think Elsa is so stupid for choosing Rian as her life partner, Rian is less responsible as a husband and also a father for their child.”
They continued to comment on the Rian and Elsa household, as if their household was better than Rian and Elsa. In fact, when Rian had just walked out of his house, they did not stop the sneer. Precisely they were getting excited to sneer for Rian to hear it, the basic neighbor has no heart indeed.
“Eh, Rian, where are you going? Already finished your fight with Elsa?” Upon hearing the question, Rian who was about to leave stopped his steps.
“Rian, you how do you want to be the head of the household who is responsible if happy wife and children are not becus?” Hearing that made Rian clench his hands tightly, the neighbors turned out to be endless sneering at his household.
“You should be able to work harder, happy your wife. If not so long he was bored also living with you, you could have been left by Elsa later.’
Rian only kept silent when he heard all that, the man had absolutely no intention of replying to their words. Rian was increasingly determined to go to the city.
