BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 80: OFFENDED INNUENDOES
Podin was married to Lesti for a month. But they are only at home, without work. Podin rarely traveled, most only delivering his wife to the market for shopping as a cooking ingredient in meeting the needs of his family's meals. Yes, Lesti was no longer allowed to work in the big city by his parents. And of course Lesti also obeyed what was asked by her parents so that she remained a housewife who took care of her family and household. At least Lesti can cook, wash, iron, clean the house, and take care of the flower plants in front of his house. That is the nature of being a woman. Indeed, Lesti had to work for the household, as did his mother who did not work just cooking and preparing all household needs, including the needs of her children. Especially when it comes to preparing food. And of course the women in the village of Lesti, indeed his job is only to take care of the kitchen and his family.
So only Lesti, who is married to Podin. Eventually he had to stop his profession as a lentic finger masseuse. Indeed, according to the people in his village, such work is not a good job, not a dignified job, but it connotes negativity. Because basically the lentic finger massage is just a term to smooth. But the truth is, Lesti is not just massaging the tired or achy bodies of its customers, but more rushed to negative things, things that smell bad, not good, that is as a plus-plus masseuse. Yeah, plus it's a connoted assortment. That's the negative view of the lentic finger masseuse, as experienced by Lesti. And indeed Lesti also did the thing as the general public suspected. And that is true, even Lesti has changed people to be invited in and out of the hotel, which of course there must be nothing. What about the men in the hotel room, if not that?
And now, after Lesti married Podin, after they had a family, yes Lesti should have left the profession. His parents said, "Thank God that Lesti would repent .... Thank goodness that Lesti is going to the right path, the good path, the path that Allah has chosen."
Yes, that's what life is called. Sometimes it can change quickly, but sometimes it can not be changed even to death. Of course, Lesti's parents were very happy when they saw Lesti who had married, Lesti who already had a husband, and now lives in peace, together with her husband who is everywhere always together. Be it to the market, or go. Always both. Thankfully, Lesti's parents were able to watch her son become a good person and get along well with her husband.
"What's Lesti's husband doing, anyway?" so ask the women of the neighbors Lesti, especially Lesti peers who on average they already have children, even some who already have grandchildren. Understandably the age of Lesti who has reached about forty years, it is feasible if the child is big. Even the one who got married young, he would already have grandchildren.
And of course, these friends of Lesti, who lived in the village on average, they were envious of the situation of Lesti who could marry Podin, who was a child, at the wedding, there were many jewels. Even now, Lesti with her husband can go everywhere by car. Shopping at the market every day is also delivered by car. Every afternoon, take a car.
And most strikingly, as soon as watching the food available at Lesti's house, the menus presented at the dining table, the, always delicious and the price is also calculated by the villagers including quite expensive. This must have made her neighbors drool, most of whom are Lesti's peers. In fact, they must also be envious because Lesti now his life is really delicious, luxurious and does not need heavy work.
"yes ..., yes .... I also never saw her husband Lesti go to work, wear a suitcase bag, wear a neat suit or shirt, wear a dapper outfit, orai .., well ..., like the bosses .... What job, Lesti's husband ...? I really never saw her husband Lesti was working ..." said one of the women, who was certainly a classmate and also Lesti's neighbor.
"I've never seen Lesti's husband work either.." said another.
"Is he the boss, huh?"
"The rich man, huh?"
"Or maybe he's a businessman, or what ...?"
"I've never seen that Podin work either."
"If it really works ..., where does it work ...? But if it doesn't work, how much money ...?" so the words of his neighbors, which of course they want to know what the real work of Lesti's husband is, so that it can be envious of his neighbors, especially women who at least when they see Lesti wearing a bracelet, so that they can be jealous of their neighbors, wearing a necklace, certainly for friends and neighbors in the village, it will make envy and will make jealousy for others who see it.
Yes, indeed in the village, whose name jewelry is a symbol of wealth, the dignity of a woman, is also the dignity of a person. A woman will be said to be rich or capable, if she has jewelry worn on her body. But if the woman does not wear jewelry, then she will also be ostracized, even become the talk of people, because it is considered as a poor person.
That's the situation in the village. Especially if at the time of the meeting or going to the wedding, surely the women, everyone will show his clothes are nice, as well as the jewelry worn. Yes, that is the value of a woman as measured by what she wears, judged by her appearance.
Likewise with Lesti, whose bracelet there are many, so that if walking can emit a clattering sound, because the bracelets worn on Lesti's arm, because, both those on the right hand arm and those on the left hand, there are quite a lot. And of course that, if Lesti's hand is stretched, moving, will cause a clattering sound that disturbs the ears of women who feel rivaled jewelry.
Of course, Lesti became the talk of the whole village, because he had a rich husband, who could buy jewelry, who could buy bracelets, necklaces, rings, and earrings. And Lesti would be proud to wear all that jewelry. Surely Lesti also wanted to show off his wealth which was illustrated by the amount of jewelry he wore.
"Lesti ..., what is your husband doing? How rich is that? Can give a lot of jewelry to yourself ..." asked the woman who used to be a schoolmate in the village.
"Yeah .., he's got a business .... It's just the place in Jakarta. Well, right now, my husband, after losing his wife, was left dead by his wife who died in childbirth along with her baby, he was frustrated .... He felt lonely and had no one else. That is why, when I meet me and can be happy, immediately invite marriage with me. He was very happy to get another wife, especially when I wanted to be married. Hence, she wanted to spoil me." so replied Lesti, who certainly added people of her age to be more envious, to be more jealous, as it turned out from Lesti's confession, which was, her husband is a businessman in Jakarta.
"Well ..., Lesti .... Now I ask .... If he's a businessman, why is he at home? Cook for a month in this village, never go to Jakarta? Your husband is here all the time, running around and around the same time you keep .... Memesraan .... If you have never seen his business in Jakarta ..., continues his business that takes care of who?" ask her friend, who certainly also does not believe that Lesti's husband is a businessman.
"Whoa .... At most you are lied to .... At most you were just taken honey .... To vent his depraved lust alone .... Later after being satisfied to enjoy you, you will be left for granted." said his friend sirik, who of course he also did not really believe what was said by Lesti earlier.
Of course his friend's words were very loud ringing in Lesti's ears. Is it true what his friend said? But why is her husband faithful every time he takes Lesti everywhere? Even invited to the market, bring groceries, he also complied and was happy. Of course Lesti's mind began to be disturbed by the words of his friend.
"Yes, if my fate is like that, what can I do .... I just resigned and accepted." so replied Lesti, which of course he also did not feel good to hear the words of his friend.
"Yes .., later you will easily find another partner, another man. Basic female itch." a friend of hers insinuated inappropriate words to Lesti. Surely his friend wanted to demonize Lesti.
"Rubber .... Later can sell hairy meat again ..." again, another friend also insinuated the ugliness of Lesti.
Naturally Lesti was immediately heartbroken by those words. He also ran straight home. He went into his room, and he cried.
Knowing his wife was sulking and crying in the room, Podin immediately followed her into the room. And of course I want to know what is going on with his wife.
"Lesti ..., you why ...?" ask Podin to Lesti.
"No papa, Akang .... Huk ..., hu ..., hu ..." replied Lesti, who was still crying.
"Why are you crying ...? Come on, Lesti .., just say frankly the same Akang .... What are you gonna ask for?" said Podin again, who certainly seduced his wife.
"Lesti's friends, Kang .... He's insolent .... He said Akang would only suck Lesti's honey .... Equally they do not believe that Akang I say have a business in Jakarta." replied Lesti who began to clearly sit the problem.
"Oi .... Why did you hear the words of your friend ...? Lesti's more trusting Akang what friend Lesti ...?" said Podin who certainly began to open up trust in her husband.
"Yes, Kang .... But they don't want to know .... He said Akang was lying if he had a business .... The proof is that Akang never went to Jakarta ..." said Lesti who also wanted to know the truth of Lesti's business.
"So Lesti doesn't believe in Akang ...?" ask Podin who tried to convince Lesti.
"That's not so, Akang .... But, take Lesti to Akang's place of business .... Just take Lesti for a picnic to Jakarta ..." said Lesti, who has now been warming up in the chest of Podin.
Must have been a blow to Podin. Podin could not resist.
"Yes .... We plan the day .... Say the same parents ..." replied Podin who certainly made the relief of Lesti's heart.
Lesti smiled happily. Surely he will be able to reply to his friends who have been too outrageous to mock him.
"Wait for my revenge, friends ..." so said Lesti in his mind.
