"Astaghfirullahal! How dare he torture my son's mind." Ema's mouth with a red face held back her emotions."Did you say he was busy with his work? So he's working? Then why doesn't he feed you?" Ask ema who is surprised.
"Yes he works from morning to night. But all the money he left to his mother. And his mother gave me twenty thousand for one week! Isn't it crazy to mind them all?" Upset alika spilled all her heart on the mother with increasingly crying.
"Yes Allah..I'm sorry, mama alika! Mama thought you left without any problems there!" Ema hugged and calmed Alika."Are you calm?" Said she rubbed alika's back."Uh what did you say? Are you pregnant?" Ask Ema who remembers Alika's words.
"Yes mah! Alika is now four months pregnant. But alika has never checked the content of alika to the doctor because tajudin never gave me money to see a doctor. So alika only thought about it and calculated it herself since she checked the healer there!" Clearly alika was at length while wiping her tears repeatedly.
"Well, do you want to have more grandchildren? See your stomach?" I am excited about the pregnancy of my child."O Allah, may you give my son a sholeh and a sholekhah!" Say ema while rubbing alika's stomach with tears."We'll check the puskesmas, okay? Don't mind much. Calm your heart, tomorrow morning we will be together to check your content. Don't you think about your crazy husband. After giving birth, I helped you file a lawsuit in court!" Obviously ema at length calmed alika down.
Alika has returned to calm in her lap and sleeps without burden. Alika does need enough rest so that the content is not disturbed. Ema who saw alika sleep soundly in her lap rubbed her head gently until her tears continued to flow because she could not see the natural state of alika. Ema felt very sinful when she became a mother when little alika always distinguished her from nindia. But who would have thought now that alika is always there for ema and not her favorite child, namely anindia.

THE TAJUDIN HOUSE
"Alika! Alikaayo!" Where is the child. Not her doing her work at home even wandering unclear! Huuff!" Shouts of tajudin continue to call the lost alika somewhere.
When the tajudin yelled calling his wife to the street finally doni out of his house because he heard the sound of tajudin yelling to call alika.
"Woy! Find who?" Call Doni still in front of his door.
"I'm looking for alika! Did you see him?" Tanya Tajudin felt very tired looking for his wife.
"Isn't he home to his town?" Doni is still standing at the door."He came here to ask me to help him get to the bus stop to get home! But he said he said he was saying goodbye to you, because you couldn't drive him!" Obviously long bangs on the tajudin in the yard of his house.
"What? She's coming home? When did you drive her?" Tanya Tajudin felt astonished because just now when she came home alika was fine not saying anything.
"So eleven o'clock in the afternoon! Maybe it's at his house now. It's four o'clock in the afternoon!" Doni said the truth.
"Ooh.. Yes, thank you for telling me. I'm saying yes? Just got back from the garden!" Tajudin said trying to hold back his emotions that had begun to peak.
"You're! Every working day she keeps fighting with your wife. Every day I'm greeted with that ugly, tangled face of yours! It's ugly, it's getting uglier!" Dariyah was still cleaning the wood he had brought from the garden.
"Alika's escaped! He came home without saying goodbye to me!" Answer tajudin flat while leaning his head in his right hand with a sitting position at the dining table.
"What? Escape home, you mean?" Dariyah was surprised to hear her daughter-in-law leave.
"Yeah! All her clothes she brought with her without any rest. Just a few clothes he's staying in." Tajudin said still with a position like that.
"Basic wife don't know thank you! His job is always looking for trouble every day! We still want to accommodate it here already thank God! Just divorce your wife! He is useless!" Dariyah's reply incited tajudin's mind.
Tajudin did not answer his mother's words. Tajudin just kept silent with the mind that kept drifting thinking of alika who still loved her but always tormented her. I don't know what tajudin wants all this time against alika. Tajudin now goes about his days without alika. His face was always crumpled up to be quiet like never before. He was confused to contact alika through a cellphone but his cellphone was damaged not worth using anymore. Want to buy a mobile phone but the money he saved to his mother to go somewhere where the money he saved his mother answered the money was up. Such is the life of the tajudin family when it comes to money it feels unwilling if issued for things that do not need to be purchased. Even if they can they will eat their own dirt just because they do not want to spend money to buy healthy food.
***
Alika has now begun to be at peace with her heart and mind. Ema always strengthens alika who is in her weight test. Ema always invites alika to visit her sister's house until she momentarily forgets her problems. With capital selling alika bracelets have little money to hold if when he was feeling the cravings want something.
"Mah! I want to eat squid. But the mama who cooked?" Alika said she wanted to buy all the food she wanted so far.
"Yeah. We'll cook the squid. Wait for the traveling greengrocer?" Answer ema who sat in the guest room with alika accompanied by tea and snacks.
"Mmmm! There is wood to take young mangoes, right? Alika look at the mango hanging it's like to eat it with salt sauce like it's delicious!" Said alika staring at the mango in her yard with great curiosity.
"There was. Let me ask the neighbors to get him?" Sahut ema went out looking for someone to help get the mango that is too high.
Alika is happy now all her wishes are achieved. Even from starting to eat meatballs, chicken noodles, ginger wedang, fish, chicken and so on. Ema always spoils the tongue of alika who is still craving with all her wishes. For one week in his home now Alika has more relaxed than before. His face was radiant because there was always a smile on his face. His skin was treated again using soap and handbody that he bought. But tajudin still with his tangled face that always misses alika is not beside him. But if it is near he always torments her. Somehow the nature of tajudin is a little incomprehensible.
