Gambling table.

A fierce fight is taking place on the gambling table, four useless men throw each other their mainstay cards, occasionally heard a rude swear, said, if one of them almost lost and laughed cheerfully berated his fellow friend if he managed to win.

"The cavemen are losing again!" yudi threw the rest of the cards on the table. "If you shuffle a real card dong! The cave continues to lose!" maki Yudi later.

"Ah ba-cot! Only you can't maen, the person who shuffles the card even lu omelin! Pay cheepet!" spray the croupier collect Yudi's losing money.

Yudi was pissed and threw the remaining money in his pants pocket. "Now! Lack of tomorrow, cave of debt first!" he said it so easy.

"Enak you really owe me! Emang you think cave loan shark! Pay up!" said the city did not want to know and glared.

"Yes tomorrow! The cave doesn't bring money! If you don't go home first, take the money!" reply Yudi made an offer.

"Yes, take your sono money, cave wait. Watch out you don't come back, cave take your bini!" the bookie called Herman.

"Yes, bring me a Luh!" return Yudi and leave.

Meanwhile, Alin struggled to open his shop, one by one the wooden boards were quite heavy he released from the buffer beam alone without the help of men.

But it was not the time to complain, because he had to hurry, considering that buyers had been queuing to buy various basic necessities in his shop.

"Okay, where did you go? Time every day open the stall you never help anyway?" melan said his loyal customer.

"Regularly maen Cik," replied Alin.

Melan let out a long sigh, seeing Alin's daily difficulties in taking care of the household made her feel pity.

"Tomorrow to send Marlina to the house if you bother again, he can take Marlina after the work is completed," said Melan offered.

"Yes, thank you for your help. What do you want to buy, Miss?" ask Alin later.

"Buy a kilo of sugar, five liters of rice is as much oil as two liters," Melan replied while showing her shopping list.

"Yes wait, Miss," replied Alin. Then he deftly scratched and weighed the ingredients. Then give everything to Melan without a lack of a single item.

"Thank you, Alin," Melan replied, giving her the money.

"I should say thank you, Miss" said Alin counting the groceries and put them in the money drawer.

Melan smiled, then went from the shop by carrying the groceries he had just bought.

While Alin went back inside to see the state of the baby who was still sound asleep, occasionally staring at the wall clock.

"Where the heck the sturdy, already want ten o'clock. He said he wanted to go back before school Yuan's hour" muttered Alin.

And sure enough, Yudi is seen returning home and Alin immediately welcomes her husband.

"Thank God Koh, Kokoh is home. Please take care of Marlina as well as keep the store for a while yes, I want to pick up Yuan first," said Alin hurriedly.

"It's good that you want to go, the cave still has business!" return Yudi with an uncomfortable look. Then rushed into the store and drained all the money in the drawer.

"Loh Koh's! Why was the money taken? That's the money seller, that's how the money is also made to pay our deposit on Marsan sir later!" alin held Yudi's hand before putting the money in his pocket.

But Alin's ban made Yudi go up, his light hands just threw a slap hard on Alin's face, until slightly blue.

"Bini bang-sat! Money this way you use the same calculation cave! I will get it again!" maki annoyed Yudi and hurriedly put money worth a hundred thousand rupiah into his pocket. "The rest can be made to buy a drink," he said smiling happily. Then go to the place where the bookies have been waiting for him.

The woman slowly approached her baby and sat on a chair, looking at the table of ashes of her parents who she prayed at all times.

Alin wept and regretted that at that time he did not listen to the advice of his parents, who forbade him not to marry Yudi and refused to be betrothed to a man of his father's choice.

Reportedly now his father's chosen man has become a successful salt businessman, and has abundant wealth everywhere.

But the rice has become porridge, if you regret it feels free. That is because he is too stupid and so believes in sweet words Yudi when dating first.

Now Alin can only strengthen his heart and wipe every tear that comes out of both corners of his eyes, save all the pain alone without relatives accompany.

For a moment Alin thought, the problem he always faced was like an endless thread, not having a good start or a good end.

...***...

In the afternoon.

As usual every night of the full moon, or the Chinese call it the night of Cap Go, which is the night of the 15th in the lunar calendar every month.

Alin worshipped the spirits of his dead ancestors, with offerings such as fruit and cakes. As a form of their devotion to the ancestors, and do not forget to stick incense on the ashes on the altar, hoping the spirits of their ancestors, can be born in a happy nature.

Then shortly after, Yudi also arrived home, with a look of annoyance at losing a gamble. And the smell of alcohol was so sticky that it pierced Alin's sense of smell.

"Alin grabin' the cave drink!" tell Yudi while dropping his body on the sofa and sighing incessantly.

Alin complied and took Yudi a glass of drinking water. "This is Koh" he reached out.

Not wanting to ask much, Alin went to the store and closed it because it was almost dark. Then head to the kitchen and prepare dinner for his family.

"Yuan, are you done with PR?" ask Alin.

"Already," Yuan replied with a small nod.

Alin smiled, then helped Yuan clean up the school equipment and put it in a bag.

"Eat first yuk," said Alin taking Yuan and leading him to the dining room.

Yudi looked sinisterly at the two of them, for some reason. But the gambler and drunken man does not like if his existence is ignored.

"Yes!" pekik Yudi threw the glass he held onto the floor until it broke into pieces.

Yuan ran in fear toward his father. "Yes papa" he said trembling.

"You're a boy, it's inappropriate to stay behind your Mama's armpits! Here play with Papa and we play like men," said Yudi scaring Yuan with a piece of glass in the hand.

Alin pulled Yuan to keep from indulging his drunken father's wishes. "Don't fear Yuan like that, he's still a kid."

"Who would scare her? What a cave wrong talk heh! A dangerous playboy like this!" yudi said he showed violent and violent action to a sofa cushion there and tore it apart with a sharp glass shard.

Alin gulped his saliva roughly, while covering Yuan's eyes so as not to look at his father's anarchist actions. Although against an object, but Alin was afraid that such an attitude would make Yuan mentally disturbed.
