FLASHBACKS (2)

Dawn and Sherly's marriage has been going on for two years. Fajar who has just been appointed as a permanent teacher, after completing the Indonesian Teacher Education Lecture and already has an educator certificate. Sherly works at a bank.

Dawn with Sherly will attend her cousin's wedding party at a luxury hotel in Bandung.

"Beb, please do this!" pinta Dawn, extend out her hand. The brown long-sleeved batik shirt fits perfectly on his body.

Sherly approached, buttoning her husband's wrists. "Udah. We're leaving now! just want to start the show. Don't let Papa Mama get angry if we're late!" said it. Holding Dawn, then carrying her bag.

"Slows, beb. No need to rush. You wear heels" said Fajar, following Sherly's footsteps down the stairs.

"Ordinary then! not much time, baby. This is because of you, use rations first," Sherly grumbled. Dawn laughing.

"Eat him don't tempt me to wear sexy clothes. I can't bear to look at her," pinched Sherly's nose. Both are in the car.

"You often see. Still mupeng," replied Sherly pinched the cheek of Dawn.

"You're damned, make me mupeng, beb." added Fajar.

"Basic, pervert!" sherly's lips.

Lucky they arrived on time. Sherly and Dawn join their extended family.

"Hello, Sher," said his other cousins.

"Hi .." Sherly replied, holding Dawn.

"Hello, Aa," they greeted Dawn together. Dawn waved her hand with a smile.

"How's it going, Sher?" ask aunt, Mama Sherly's sister.

"Well, tan," he answered.

"Where, have you filled it yet?" ask her aunt again. The question Sherly hates the most. Always the same question.

"Tan, I went to Mama Papa first huh? bye ..." Sherly did not respond to her aunt's questions. He chose to avoid.

"Sama Aunty herself don't do that, beb. Not good," Fajar gave his advice.

"Why did you take him? you already know that I don't like to be asked about it," Sherly was upset, walking over to Papa Mama on the left side of the guarantee.

"Don't be so hard! many people. I couldn't bear anyone," clasped Sherly's waist as he continued to walk, reaching before his in-laws.

The show begins until Dawn and Sherly sit on a family-only roundtable. Dawn's in-laws are there.

"Sher, Rio come. She's alone. Rio is now a great lawyer. Say hello, heula," said Indah, Aunt Sherly. Rio was Sherly's ex-boyfriend in High School.

Dawn looked at his wife, Sherly raising her shoulders.

"No, Tan. I have a husband. Not good," he refused. However, Sherly also appreciates the existence of her husband.

"Rio is a great lawyer. Many money. No kayak .. ahem," said Indah, cleared her throat while glancing at Dawn.

Dawn has often heard direct speech or innuendo from the Sherly family, not least in-laws themselves. Dawn responded with patience and a smile.

Papa Mama Sherly was silent to see her daughter-in-law humiliated. Because for them, it is the truth. Her daughter-in-law is just an ordinary teacher, not a businessman let alone a great lawyer like Rio.

"Hello, Om ... Auntie," Rio's greeting to Sherly's parents. Lovely nudge Sherly's right arm.

"Hi, Rio. How are you?" ask Bagja, Papa Sherly. "Sit .. sit!" pull up the chair next to him, just to the left of Dawn. Dawn greeted with a smile and a nod of the head.

"Okay, Om," he answered. "Om also looks more seger. Aunty is also more beautiful," he said again. Sherly sneered, hearing Rio's words. Dawn silent.

"Aunty isn't there, Yo?" lovely Chirps.

"Eh .. there's Beautiful Aunt. I'm pangling, Tan. Different, the more beautiful," said Rio. Indeed his mouth is slippery, good at seducing. Fit into his profession.

"Ah can aja you, Rio," Lovely blushed shyly pat Sherly on the shoulder. Patted, disgusted to hear it.

"Will you be a great lawyer now?" ask Bagja.

"Yes Om, thanks to my own hard work," he answered arrogantly. His body he slipped into a chair, two hands he fold in front of the chest.

"Great you! It has to be. Hard work, effort from yourself. It was better and proud," Bagja's speech was full of innuendo. Sherly squeezes Dawn's hand. Her husband calmed her down by rubbing the back of her hand.

"This is how it is, Om. But I am, ahem. It's been this successful but no companion yet. If Sherly had not been married, I would have applied right now in front of Om Bagja," Rio said arrogantly. Her words were so annoying in Sherly and Dawn's ears.

"Well, what a pity Pa. Mama also wants if you have a daughter-in-law a great lawyer like Rio. Mama can show off to the cedars. But dear ..." timpal Ami, glanced at Dawn and Sherly.

Dawn was so patient in dealing with the insults and innuendos it got. Is not the teacher a noble work? teach and provide knowledge that is beneficial for life, for the future. Even great people are educated, directed and taught by a Master.

The role of the Master is very important for national development and to give birth to qualified generations for the future. The teacher becomes the spearhead of the next generation of the nation, dividing his knowledge selflessly, and,

and teach discipline.

Is it appropriate for a Teacher's profession to be underestimated like this? just because his salary is not as big as a businessman like Bagja and a great lawyer like Rio? what a short thought.

Dawn invites Sherly to enjoy the food available. He did not want to bother the words of his wife's extended family. As long as Sherly still wants to live with him, for Dawn is enough. A man's self-esteem is work. Being a teacher is her choice. To carry on what his parents have done. Mr. Aji and Ms. Siti.

"We've been married for two years. We also work together. When do we have kids, beb?" ask Dawn. They both arrived home. Dawn leaned over her body while hugging the pillow, staring at Sherly who was wearing a night scincare circuit.

"I've only been four months of work, baby. It's a shame that I have to get pregnant now. Not to mention later on maternity leave, keep me hassles ngurusin baby, pumping kayak my friends in the office. Dizziness I see it. Not now! give me another minute, until I'm ready." Sherly refuses.

The look on the face of Dawn changed immediately. Disappointed, of course. The age of those who are mature enough is enough to have a child. Moreover, they are both only children. Fajar's parents were eager to have grandchildren. A granddaughter they can care for and play with. But it seems to have to be postponed again and again.

"You angry? why diem?" ask Sherly. Approaching the Daydreaming.

"Huh? no. .. I follow everything you want. I also don't want to force my will. I want you to be ready first" Shall Dawn.

Seriate...
