Yanti looked at Dennis' wand with a raging feeling. In a way, he was glad that his master could work again. On the other hand, he was afraid that what had happened back then had happened.
Dennis, who was having breakfast, caught something strange with Yanti. The woman was daydreaming more often now, and her eyes were fixed on her black stick.
"What's? Got my cane?" dennis asked after swallowing his food. Spinach and fried tempeh.
Yanti raised her head. "What, Sir?" ask the woman, a little surprised.
"From that moment you looked at my wand. That, your son, his mouth is empty" pointed Dennis.
Then Yanti realized and immediately fed her son. The woman still hasn't answered Dennis' question.
"When did Miss Niken start teaching again?"
"Hmm, maybe next week. Tuesday" replied Yanti.
Dennis continued his breakfast as Yanti ventured to speak. "Sir Dennis, if you're off work first, how about it?"
"Holiday?" Dennis raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, just in next week."
"My stick is broken, I've had a long day off."
Yanti's view is now focused on his cooking vegetables.
"If you often don't work, how can I give you a salary? You also need money to be sent to the village right?" Dennis explained the reason.
Yanti nodded, her face still disappointed.
"More." Dennis throws an envelope at Yanti. The woman was shocked that something suddenly floated towards her.
"Make you," Dennis added as Yanti asked with her eyes.
The young mother opened the envelope slowly. His face turned cheerful to see the number of rupiah arranged there.
"Many, Sir! How much is this?" asked Yanti enthusiastically.
"You've learned to count. Count it yourself. I went to work first" said Dennis who moved with the help of his cane.
Gone is Yanti's anxiety. That kind of money can buy a lot of building materials. He did not know exactly how much, but Yanti was sure that there were a lot.
"Whether I'm asking for a peanut cake, how many jars, huh, Le?" ask Yanti to her son.
Waskito simply fluttered through the table happily, causing the dishes and spoons to tremble.
"Yes!" Shouted Dennis again.
Yanti immediately stood up and came to her master who was already at the door of the living room.
"What, Sir?"
"White money to your father who do you want to send?" ask Dennis.
This time Yanti smiled shyly. "Don't know, sir. Am I the one who gave it to my father myself? I'm kangen.."
Dennis had guessed that Yanti wasn't thinking too long. He immediately closed the door in front of the woman's face and did not care about the cries of protest from inside the house.
...
That afternoon Yanti was sweeping the front yard with a kerik broom. Since he came, the house has become cleaner and tidier. Mbok Jum's husband has also repaired the chicken coop next to the house. Now, Yanti already had her own money, she could buy chick seeds to nurture.
The roar of the car approached making Yanti spontaneously close her eyes. He peeked a little because the car stopped not far from where it was. A familiar figure spoke to the driver before descending.
A beautiful girl in white and small eyes like her master. Yanti did not remember the name of the woman.
"Hi, Ce. Ko Dennis is inside?" ask the woman.
"P.. Dennis is still working." Yanti almost slipped. "You want to go in first?" bring Yanti.
The woman nodded her head. Yanti also put a broom and told the girl to enter first through the living room.
Lani stopped stepping while on the porch of the house. A little boy was sitting on the floor with his thumb in his mouth. The clothes and mouth were as dirty as the child's hands and feet.
"aaa.. Nis.." said Waskito, showing off again the smile of his two teeth.
The woman was astonished.he had heard nothing about the little boy. That boy is not so small.
"Come, come in first," said Yanti who opened the living room door. He also quickly lifted Waskito and carried him around the waist.
Lani stepped in with a sense of hesitation. What else did his elder brother hide during his stay apart from the main house.
"Sorry, Ce. I'm suddenly coming."
"Yes, what not. But Dennis hasn't come yet" Yanti said.
Lani's eyes were fixed on Yanti's clothes and arms. The woman was not wearing any jewelry. Her clothes were not what Lani had imagined.
What Yanti wears when it comes to the main house is not expensive clothes. But Lani did not expect her brother would let his wife wear more shabby clothes than the maids in their home.
"Ce Yanti How did you know Ko Dennis? I don't think Ko Dennis is going to get married to old" Lani said with a smile.
Yanti smiled as well. Cold sweat started flowing down his forehead. He was confused as to what to answer.
"I didn't know I was getting married to Dennis, either" Yanti replied honestly.
"Then, this kid..."
"This is my son, Waskito."
Lani then fell silent. The more you see, the boy doesn't look like Dennis. It all felt so awkward for Lani, Dennis's sudden marriage. Yanti's clothes were not very decent, and the boy....
"Ce Yanti's... Are you happily married to Ko Dennis?" Lani finally asked what she wanted to know the most. The wide face of Yanti was fixed.
Inner Yanti shouted, why was this girl from earlier asking things that she had difficulty answering. Couldn't her employer have gone home sooner and answered this woman's question?!
"If Ce Yanti was forced by Ko Dennis to get married, say it right now. I'll help Ce Yanti separate. Mami will also help if Ce Yanti wants to separate from Ko Dennis."
Lani's words that suddenly changed direction made Yanti just put on a worried smile. He is forced, but Yanti also has other needs that only Dennis can help.
"I don't want to split up. I'm..." Yanti looked at Dennis who was walking over from the courtyard.
The man walked in a daze, his right leg could not hold up perfectly. But behind his fierce face and judes attitude, stored attention that Yanti could not describe. As they were close together, Yanti was delighted. That's enough for him right now.
"I want to marry Dennis" he continued with a firm smile at Lani. "It's not easy, but he can help me fit in hard."
Maybe the afternoon sun at that time the light was too glare. It might also be because Yanti was standing against the sun, but the figure of her sister-in-law walking up to her husband looked admirable. As if it was shining with its own light.
"Lani? What are you doing here?" dennis asked in a cold voice.
The woman sipped tea so as not to answer her brother. "Hmm, the tea is delicious, Ce Yanti. I'll play again sometime."
Lani stood up and moved around hugging her sister-in-law, but she didn't. The woman needs to wear more care products to make it more fragrant. Instead, he held tightly onto Yanti's hand.
"Ce Yanti, ask Ko Dennis to buy perfumes au de toilet. If he won't buy it..." Lani brought her face closer and whispered aloud, ".tinggalin only."
The straight black haired girl then winked at Yanti before walking away.
"Hey, what are you saying, Lani? Don't teach your sister-in-law anything! Lani!" shouted Dennis beaver.
Yanti chuckles with the behavior of her brother who is sometimes as mysterious, sometimes as nosy.
"Yan, Lani was here to say what?" dennis asked when the younger brother got back in the car and left.
"Eh, what, yes, sir? I don't know either. Said he was looking for Dennis."
Dennis' attention then focused on the boy who was still attached to his mother's waist.
The man knew that the existence of Yanti's child would be questioned by the family, especially her Mami. Honestly, at that time Dennis was not too dizzy, and he also did not want to take a headache now.
"If anyone asks about your child, it's up to you to answer what. The son of your old husband, or our son from an affair," Dennis said.
Yanti is surprised that Dennis suddenly talks about Kito, and...
"Dark Relationship Result?!" pekik Yanti was surprised.
Dennis lifted one of his shoulders. "Yes, one night, and then I left... You came here after that kid grew up like that."
Yanti was speechless with Dennis' words that meant nothing bad. It's just that, what the limp man said was too close to the reality he experienced.
But Kito is not the result of his affair with Darto...
Kito was the result after he was forced into a relationship by Darto..
Yanti's heart again seemed to be sliced considering the incident.
