Wife's Resilience

KHIS 06

The office where Bagas worked.

When the break arrives Bagas immediately to the financial staff. He wanted to make a purchase through the office.

"What's up, Bagas."

"I'm sorry to interrupt your break, actually I want to buy a car sir. But if buying directly it is not possible.

Bagas stopped his words. While the interlocutor is still waiting for Bagas to continue his words.

"If allowed I want to buy a car through the office sir, the payment by cutting my salary every month. The car I'm going to buy is not a new car, so it's not too expensive sir."

"Well, I'll talk to the boss first.

Later I will tell Mr. Bagas."

"Alright, then I say resign sir. Sorry to interrupt father's time. Thanks."

"It's okay, Bagas."

After completing his affairs Bagas immediately went to perform prayers first. Then go to the cafeteria for lunch. In his office there is a canteen to make it easier for employees to find food. If there are employees who want to go out for food outside is also allowed. As long as they come back before work starts.

Arriving at Bagas cafeteria immediately ordered food and headed to where his friends were sitting.

"Where's Elo Gas from."

"Applying for a loan to the office, you've ordered a meal."

"Here, this just sat."

His two friends just looked at Bagas.

Leon and Galih. The three of them have been friends since High School.

They even went to college at the same place. And the courses they took were the same. After graduating from college they applied in the same office. And now they work in that office.

"Gue wants to buy a car through the office. The payroll system."

"Why not buy directly. I'm sure you have the money."

"The money in savings will be used for the cost of the pregnancy program" explained Bagas honestly to his friend.

"Bagcases.. Bagas.. If I might have found another wife" said Galih

"The devil's base, don't you hear his words" Leon told Bagas.

"Listen yes, how many years they have been married, until now they have not had children" said Galih

Bagas and Leon just silently heard Galih's words.

"You've been to the doctor, but the results are still nil. Who knows if you could have another child."

"Just calm down Gas, you're only 6 years married. There are still many who married long ago but have not been given offspring. Just relax. Don't listen to this one demon talk." Leon said to Bagas while raising his chin towards Galih

"Gue is not about plunging sob, but giving advice. Who knows if with other women ****** elo tok cer." Galih spoke while playing his hand on the table.

"You can be quiet." Leon did not like the words of Galih.

"Gue just said... I JUST NGASIH SARAN. Elo imagine your life in the future will be like what without children. The kid's important bro."

Galih did not care about Leon's gaze. Even he continued his words.

"Leon, elo mah yummy. There has not been a year married your wife immediately pregnant. Yes, if for example you do not want to leave Rena, elo marry again."

Bagas and Leon simultaneously stared at Galih's face.

"Poligami bro, Rena must have understood. Religion is also allowed."

Bagas was silent. He did not answer Leon or Galih's words during the conversation.

Amidst their hot chatter, the food they ordered came.

"Once, we eat first. The rush hour break is over."

Said Leon directly taking his food and devouring it. Same with Bagas and Galih.

The break time is over. They're back at work.

When working Bagas is not focused. He thought of Galih's suggestion.

"Don't you listen to Galih's words."

Leon was already standing behind Bagas while holding onto Bagas' shoulder.

Bagas looked at Leon while nodding. Leon left Bagas' chair for his seat again.

At last the office hours arrived. But Bagas' mind was still muddled by Galih's words in the canteen.

Bagas took his motorcycle out of the office. He didn't come home. But go to the lake. Where he and Rena used to go when they were dating. Bagas sat quietly on the grass under the tree.

what should I do...

Bagas imagined the beginning of their marriage. How he and Rena raised money together to build a house.

Rena who never complained, even though their situation at that time was difficult. Rena was always next to him when he was in trouble. Rena who always encourages her life so that she does not give up easily.

A**pa I'll have the heart, if I do all this to her.

Will I be strong to see her tears.

It was not that Rena had been the most hurt.

What should I do..

Until the mind of Bagas collapsed instantly when he heard the Maghrib adhan reverberate.

Bagas stood up from his seat. He immediately searched the nearest mosque.

ready to know after the prayer, my heart will calm down.

inner Bagas after hearing the voice of Adzan.

what Bagas will do...

what decision will Bagas take....
