An Inner Lent to My Wife's Cousin
Requesting Permission (S2)

At 19:00 p.m., Herman had just arrived home after parking his truck on the side of the road in front of the house. He lingered in the office with his boss because he engaged in small talk first and discussed the project in Kalimantan. Mr. Denis says Herman can bring his teammates to work there. Mr. Denis gave Herman the right to choose his own there or include his men. However, Herman has not decided that because he has to ask his men first whether they want to be invited there or not.

After Herman washed his feet in the bathroom, he climbed the stairs and entered the house with a greeting. "Assynnya!"

"Glamma!"

The children were studying on the floor watching a television show. While his wife was on the sofa sewing Arham's clothes that had just been torn this afternoon.

"Where, sir?" ask Yani who saw her husband coming and sit next to her.

"From the office" replied Herman, watching his children studying.

"Tumben you guys are studying? Baregan. Usually told to learn to be lazy," said Herman. As far as he is concerned, Citra and Arham are lazy children to learn. Maybe they will learn when there is PR from the school. While Nadia was from the first her son was diligent in learning. Every Monday to Friday Nadia uses her time to study every night. While the weekend, Nadia used to relax or take a walk out with her friend.

"Gee! What is this father. He told me to learn, said Tumben. Not told to learn, said lazy. What kind of parents do you want?!" grumbled Arham but his gaze and hands were still doing his schoolwork.

"Or, Father." Citra also. While Yani and Nadia only smiled when they heard Arham and Citra mumbled.

"It's true, isn't it? Surely you learn if there is a task for tomorrow or not, there must be something this wants," replied Herman.

"No! Sok tau!" ketus Citra is owned by Arham.

"They're eating martabak again, sir. So the mother told them to learn the work of her duties, then the mother can buy them martabak," said Yani told.

Herman immediately nodded in understanding. "You want a martabak?"

"You!!" sahut Citra and Arham.

"Yes, get your job done quickly. I'll buy you one by one on xxx."

"Really, Sir?" nadia asked in surprise.

"Yes really."

"Don't do much, sir. 1-2 is enough for them. If most of it will be redundant," said Yani.

"It's okay, ma'am 3 is enough for the five of us. We also buy the martab with a medium size only," replied Herman to his wife.

Children are immediately in the spirit of doing their duty after hearing they will be bought martabak one by one. No exception with Arham. Even children to answer carelessly when choosing a multiple choice problem because they want to quickly complete the task.

"Don't get it wrong! Later the father checks and there is a wrong answer, I will not buy you martabak," said Herman when he saw his youngest son answered the problem quickly.

Arham immediately frowned and took the eraser to eliminate the answer he had filled earlier.

"Mom, make me coffee dong."

Yani put down Arham's clothes that had been sewn and rushed to make coffee for her husband

...~~~...

Nadia, Citra, and Arham left after finishing their schoolwork within 45 minutes. Herman told Nadia to borrow her son Bu Desi's motorbike and immediately went to buy a martabak that was located far enough from her village because no one sold martabak here. Herman deliberately ordered his children to go all out because there was an important discussion he had to talk about his wife.

"Mom!" Herman called Yani after the two had just eaten dinner.

Yani approached her husband and sat down next to Herman. "What's up, sir?"

"Wait a minute." Herman stood up and got out of the house to pick up what was left in the truck.

"What is this, sir?" Yani takes her husband's gift and sees the contents inside.

"Project from Boss Denis" replied Herman.

Yani noticed the images printed in the papers. Yani read a large title on the paper which is a toll road project in the Kalimantan area.

"Toll road project in Kalimantan?" tanya Yani who is possessed by Herman.

"Keep giving this to mom for what?" ask Yani again.

"Father got an offer from Boss Denis. He offered the toll road project in Kalimantan to his father because his best friend again needed a colleague from Boss Denis. You tell me this and ask permission from your mother, can you go there?" obviously Herman.

Yani fell silent after her husband asked for permission to go to Kalimantan because of a job offer. That meant Herman had to leave his family for a while until construction on the project was completed. And maybe her husband will come home during the holidays every year. Yani knew the construction of the toll road project took a long time because Herman had previously gotten the project with his friend in the city. And that may take 2-5 years. However, the consideration of Yani is that her husband must work in Kalimantan.

"Mom think about it first. The time given by Boss Denis until next month after Lebaran. That means you still have time to think. In addition, you also have not told about this to the friends of the father's team," explained Herman saw the look on the face of his wife who was confused.

"But why should it be in Borneo?" ask Yani.

Herman grinned confusedly looking into his wife's eyes. "What happened to Kalimantan?"

"Too in the area here, mom's no problem. In addition to being close, you can quickly go back and forth during the holidays. But if in Kalimantan the mother is not sure to allow the father to go there," said Yani who issued anxiety in his heart.

Herman took a breath. "Yes then I think first of your request."

"Why do you want to or not go there?" ask Yani.

"You want to, Mom. Moreover, we again need the cost to buy a motorbike for Nadia equally want to build a room below. Our savings are also running low because it was borrowed from your niece for her wedding last year. So you can be sure we need money to meet it all."

"Mr also needs to talk about this to your friends. If they can't come, you can go there alone. But before that you ask permission first with mom," explained Herman.

Herman and Yani recently wanted to plan to build three brick-lined living rooms and living rooms under their homes. Their stilt house is not large and only has two rooms, a kitchen, and a living room that is united into a family room. Herman wanted to add a private room for their children and another living room under his house.

...

(like this is more or less the picture)...

Eve under the house is so soothing during the day and night. During the day above the house, the air will feel hot and will be difficult to take a nap. Although there are many trees, mountains, and forests, still when the sun in the daytime hit, it will feel burning so that residents who want to rest during the day will have difficulty sleeping in their stilt houses. Therefore, most of the villagers build another building as a place to rest during the day under their homes.

"Mom think about it first. You will talk to your friends tomorrow" said Herman patted Yani on the shoulder and then went out to the bathroom.

While Yani was silent on the spot with thoughts raging in his head. What her husband said was true if they were in need of money to meet all of those needs.

Why should it be in Kalimantan?

If her husband works in this area of the island, Yani does not mind. However, it is different if Herman works outside the island and that in Kalimantan. Yani feels unwilling if her husband goes to work outside the island for fear of anything happening with her husband there and no one takes care of him.

But if Herman intended to take on the project, would Yani be able to calmly let her husband go? Especially in Kalimantan there are women who have damaged the sacred bond of marriage with the husband.

Will Yani be able to let her husband go there?
