At night around three in the morning, Bima and Dinda struggled in the kitchen to make their trading ketoprak. Dinda has dispelled all her sadness away, because for her there is no point too protracted to remember something that has scratched the wound in her heart. After all they eat never ask for the same parents and their in-laws. It's just that the way their families have been so outrageous in insulting them keeps them thinking, but all the insults they make a whip to keep moving forward, to keep moving forward, continue the spirit of risking so that their economic situation after this is much better than yesterday.
''Dek, later Mas will hang out in front of our vacant land near the intersection, because later the building materials will come in part and the handyman will start working today, because later the building materials will come in part and the artisan will start working today, you can help, Mom, can't you? For today you please help Mas sell his ketoprak, because later afraid Mas less focus on selling because you have to chat with the handyman and the person who delivers building materials,'' Bima said explaining his activities later to the wife.
''Fine, Mas. Later let me just sell, you just focus on the construction of our shophouse, '' replied Dinda with a knotty smile. His hands were busy stirring the bean sauce, ketoprak sauce in the basin.
''Thank you dear,'' Bima said a friendly while kissing the smooth cheek of the wife.
''Why do you have to thank me all the same? Not that the husband and wife should indeed help each other,''
"You are a good wife and always understand yourself. I'm getting in love with you, Dek. I love you,''
''It could be you, Mas.'' Dinda was embarrassed to hear what her husband said. His heart suddenly flowered, he felt back to being a teenager who was drunk in love. There is a way for the husband to make him happy. To be happy does not have to be with luxury, just in a simple way and as it is.

The next morning the little family left their house to scavenge, they pushed the cart with a happy smiling face.
''Flower is happy to be able to join Daddy selling,'' Little talking flowers with a cheerful face. He also walked by hugging his Teddy bear doll.
''Does the Flower not feel sprightly?'' ask Bima softly.
''No. ''No. Bunga said that Bunga was happy, What father!'' Flowers say to my father. Hearing that made Dinda and Bima smile expanding while shaking little.
Not long after that they arrived at the crossroad, they immediately put their carts by the roadside in front of their vacant land. The vacant land that is the gift of the late Papa Dinda, only that land that the papa bequeathed for him. While Mama and the brothers were quite large in different places, because they were greedy who asked that the papa not much to give the inheritance to Dinda. Dinda accepted what the father had given her. Without envy for Mama and her brothers.
As long as the father was sick and eventually died, Dinda was the one who always patiently took care of and cared for the father, never he felt bothered, he was, because all this time only the father was so good to him. The death of the father makes Dinda really feel sad and lost, because there are no more members of his family who are good to him like the father.

Bima seems busy helping artisans dig the ground for the first step in making shophouses, while Dinda is busy serving buyers, thank God their ketoprak sell as usual.
When Dinda wanted to sit down to rest herself because the buyer was no longer there, suddenly a red car stopped right in front of her cart, and not long after that the car owner came out.
Dinda looked at the lazy person, it was Iren who got out of the car. Iren seems to hold a bushel of stainles, a bushel containing food that he deliberately brought to Bima.
''But you anyway? Where is Bima?'' Iren said he did not like seeing Dinda.
''What do you want to do with someone's husband?'' ask Dinda. Hearing that, Iren felt angry.
''He likes me, but why?'' Iren said as he circulated his gaze, as soon as he saw Bima's existence on the empty land that was behind Dinda, he smiled happily.
''Emang you do not feel ashamed, '' said Dinda again. As a wife, it is natural that Dinda feels jealous when there are other women who are looking for her husband.
''No!'' reply Iren smiled cynically towards Dinda. After that he took his steps towards Bima.
Once he got near Bima, Iren put on a smile as sweet as possible, then he said, Mas Bima must be tired, right? Here I bring food for, Mas.'' Iren said softly as he stared fixedly at Bima's handsome face.
Seeing the cold response that Bima showed to her made Iren feel annoyed.
''Mas!'' call Iren spoiled with an elevated tone of voice. However, Bima still behaved as before. Dinda who saw from a distance quite a long smile knot saw the response of the husband in facing Iren.
''Come, Neng. Mas Bima seems not to like the presence of Neng here. Mending his food is put here so that Akang only eat, said a handyman whose age is similar to Bima.
''This food is specifically for Mas Bima, '' said Iren firmly.
''But Mas Bima did not want to. Emang Neng did not feel embarrassed, Bima 'kan already have a wife, noh his wife is cute so where maybe Bima just glanced at other women,'' the handyman said again while pointing at Dinda.
''Mas, this is the food I put here, yes, Iren still did not give up, he put the bushel on the board near Bima.
''Yes, Neng. Thanks.'' Sahut.
''Of basic nyebelin!'' Iren snapped while stomping his feet to the ground, after which he passed from before Bima.
As soon as he arrived near Dinda, Iren said again, Don't be happy first you, I make sure your household and Mas Bima will not last long,'' Iren did not like to see Dinda staring at him with a mocking smile.
''Oh yeah?'' reply Dinda relax.
''Basins ..'' Iren was about to slap Dinda in the cheek, but it didn't happen because it coincided with that a car stopped near his car. Iren stared at the luxury car was curious about who the owner of the car was.
''Bu Arum,'' Dinda said with a knotty smile as soon as she knew it was Bu Arum who got out of the car.
''Dinda, Bunga, '' said Ms. Arum.
''Argh! Just look out for you I throw the same, Mama, Iren said annoyed, after that he got into his car, and his car drove quickly away from Dinda's entourage.
''Who is that woman, son?'' ask Ms. Arum.
''I don't know, Mom. That's a strange woman,''
''There-there's just,''
''Bu Arum want a ketoprak?'' ask Dinda.
''Yes, make two portions for Mom, yes,''
''Yes, Mom.''
Ms. Arum then invited Bunga to play with her.
Actually the intention of Bu Arum to meet with Dinda is because he wants to take Dinda somewhere.
Seriate.
