As Hard as a Silk-Soft Steel
Chapters 1. A Huge Decision
" So you still want to go to Dubai ?" Ask Slamet
" Dear, this is a golden opportunity for me to change our fate" said Dewi
" Our finances have been fine all along, my salary is 2x umr here. All your needs can be met. So what should you change ?" Ask Slamet
" Our savings in the future Mas, I want in the future we do not have to mess around with money" said Dewi
" This time I won't approve your request my wife. Our savings are plenty too. What do you want to buy ? Want a motor ? Want a car ? You just call it. I'll buy it for you " said Slamet
" I want to take a walk to Dubai Mas" said Dewi who made Slamet speechless
Listening to the request of the Goddess, Slamet simply stroked the chest. As the age of marriage is only 3 months there has been a whack ordeal.
" They can tie me to our wedding ropes, but not to my dreams" said the Goddess
" Well next week we're going on holiday to Dubai" Slamet said
Listening to Slamet's words, Dewi only smiled bitterly. Seeing her husband's attitude that is so innocent and lacking in association makes Dewi try to explain to her husband.
" Well, my husband, if only with money in savings you will never be enough. The cost of a 50 million airfare for one departure, that's one person. Not staying at a hotel that costs 2 million for each night. Not to mention the entrance ticket to tourist attractions, transportation costs and meals "said Dewi clearly
The words of Dewi again made Slamet speechless, so much money will not be enough to go to Dubai with his wife. It will still take some hard work for a few more years until it is enough for them to go to Dubai.
" Yes, my decision is complete. Don't worry, I'll send you some money later. Whatever you want "said the Goddess
" I won't let you go to Dubai without me. Especially to work there which took 5 years" said Slamet
" Just 5 years Mas, you have the heart of Mas blocking my ideals so far I dream of" said the Goddess who cried
" You are my wife who must obey me. Heaven to you is under my feet" said Slamet firmly
" But, this has been my dream for a long time. Only 5 years, only 5 years. So hard on your heart, my tears can't change your decision. I beg you once again Mas, this is the last one for me " said Dewi who rested in front of Slamet
No matter what the Goddess said, Slamet immediately went to work. It was a very gray morning. Even though the weather was so sunny, but the heart and mind of Slamet was so pitch dark at the thought of the request of the Goddess.
5 Years is not a short time, especially he had to give up his wife to go to another country far from him.
On the other hand Dewi secretly prepares everything to go to Dubai without her husband's knowledge. All passports and work visas have been prepared by Dewi. She was ready to leave her husband and family for a while.
For the sake of an ideal, the Goddess would sacrifice a little of her feelings. Although it is wrong but all of that is not a big problem for the Goddess.
Dewi knows very well how her husband is, even though they were married only one month but Dewi had known Slamet during her school.
Although the nature of her husband is stubborn, but many sacrifices and gentle attitude of her husband that makes Dewi fall in love with Slamet.
It could be said they married at a mature age, although a gap of 2 years younger than Slamet. The charm of Slamet can make the Goddess fall in love.
Slamet who messed with the request of the Goddess, can only daydream. The nature of his wife who is so hard with his will, makes Slamet always patient and pray.
There has been a lot of debate between husband and wife. The goddess unceasingly asked her husband to agree to her request.
Starting 2 months ago, his wife asked for permission to work in Malaysia with her friends. To Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and now Dubai.
Without a clear reason, Slamet always refused the request of the Goddess. The Slamet feared not the material in the wife but the integrity of the household when the distance separated them. Especially in a period of 5 years, a time that is not short for a longing.
After work, Slamet returned home. Seeing the condition of the house that has been neatly arranged.
The silence that Slamet felt. Not seeing his wife in the house, Slamet immediately contacted his wife.
Once or twice, Slamet tried to contact Dewi. From whatsapp to regular phone. But Dewi number can not be contacted, from short messages whatsapp and sms were not sent.
Seeing that his wife could not be reached, Slamet thought positively, that his wife was away with her friends.
Until when Slamet found a piece of paper stuck in the mirror of his room.

Assalamualaikum Mas Slamet's,
Good afternoon my beloved husband.
Forgive your wife Mas, who has left without saying goodbye to you.
I went to Dubai to pursue my goals.
Bless me and pray that I will always be healthy here.
I promise to always be faithful to the bond of our marriage.
Take good care of yourself there, Mas, I left just for a while.
Before I left for Dubai, I was already saying goodbye to our parents. My parents and your parents.
I'll call you when I get to Dubai.
Oh yeah, I'm here with my friends, so you don't worry about me.
I love you My husband.
Greetings from your wife.
Goddess Yulia.
