FATE AND DESTINY
6. I'M IT'S OKAY

"You're a well, you're a basket boy!" Shouted the sureni who was sitting behind looking for a chance to see Alika taking a bath.

"What the hell are you! I was smoking after eating. Take care of your attitude as a wife! Don't exaggerate! Are you the only one who can get angry? I can be angry with you too!" The emotion of cardiyo who saw his wife always angry was unclear after the presence of alika.

"If you are smoking. Why do your eyes always look at the bathroom?" Sureni asked while raising her chin.

"If you don't want me to glance at another woman? Take care of your attitude as a wife. Be gentle like a woman!" Said Wardiyo who was too upset with his wife's attitude.

Alika accidentally heard her sister-in-law's quarrel in the bathroom. Alika feels guilty if her sister-in-law's quarrel is because of her. Alika who had finished her bath rushed towards her room. It was late in the afternoon but Alika still had not eaten since noon due to falling asleep. No one told him to eat until Alika woke up from her sleep. Want to go to the kitchen to take food as if very embarrassed. Alika remained silent in the room after changing her clothes. Tajudin finally entered his room without reprimanding the alika. He just wanted to get his cell phone and get back out of his room. Alika who saw such a tajudin attitude did not feel any guilt. Alika wants to have time to be alone. But suddenly there was a quarrel outside Alika's room.

"If you keep going like that, give me back to my parents!" Screaming sureni at her husband who lately always looking for trouble.

"Hey! What's up here? Don't scream like that. Shame if a neighbor hears it!" Advice from the mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law.

"I'm upset mom! Look at the mother's son. He always teases other women who pass in front of me. If he doesn't like me anymore then just give me back to my parents!" Pekik Sureni who was very upset to see her husband's behavior.

"Arnies. Don't be like this. Try to stay calm in the face of problems!" The advice of the dariyah who every day always see their quarrels.

Alika finally rushed out wanting to try to calm her brother-in-law down. But alika's decision to try well was considered wrong by them.

"Sorry brother reni. Not that I want to interfere but.." Said Alika wanted to just calm her brother-in-law.

"Shut up! You seductress! Not know yourself. So beautiful you dad! Since your arrival my husband has become indifferent to me! I gave you a choice. Me or you are leaving this house?!" Shouted the sureni who let out his heart that had been detained for several days.

Alika who was shocked yelled at and expelled herself directly into her room dropped herself on the bed and cried as it happened. Alika does not know why everything she does is always wrong in the eyes of her husband's family. Alika wants to leave the tajudin house. But he remembered the advice of Ema who always ring in his ear.

"alika. Remember mom's message! If your husband is emotional just listen to what he says. If until he says the word divorce when emotions do not listen and keep silent listening to him. If until he expels you in an emotional state, stay still do not go anywhere. If besides your husband who kicked you out of that house without your husband, go to your room and lock the door. Never leave until your husband comes home! You understand what you're explaining, don't you?" Ema's advice to alika the night before Alika goes to her husband's house the next morning.

Alika who remembered her mother's advice became increasingly sobbing without being stopped. While she was shedding all her tears suddenly the door of her room someone knocked on her.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Alika! Open door!" Shouted tajudin who had just returned from nowhere.

Alika who heard the door of her room was knocked immediately moved to wipe her face that was still wet with tears."Oh, wait a minute!" Shouted alika and then ran small to open the door of her room.

"How long did it take to open the door? What are you doing inside?" Tajudin asked who saw Alika's face as if crying.

"I'm fine." Sahut alika who immediately returned to sit on the bed.

"You've been crying?" Tanya tajudin gently did not have to silence alika any longer.

"Alika does not answer tajudin's question. Alika just looked down and played her finger."

"Have you eaten?" Ask again tajudin while rubbing alika's head.

"Not yet!" Alika replied while shaking her head.

Alika who had not seen her brother-in-law became clingy looking for the whereabouts of the two of them who had been fighting outside her room. Alika in the kitchen did not see anyone there. Alika sat on the dining table chair and then took the rice according to the portion. When he saw the side dish he didn't know what it was. Because he never ate it in the city. Alika who was curious finally asked her to tajudin.

"Is this a side dish or isn't it?" Tanya Alika who felt strange with the shape of her food that was like raw food and then served.

"That's the heart of a banana and a cockroach sauteed into one." Sahut tajudin which explains the side dish that has been cooked by alika's mother-in-law.

"Lauk what is it? I never heard of it?" Tanya alika who felt strange about her in-laws cooking.

"Taste it and just commented!" Sahut tajudin upset to hear the bawl alika.

Before tasting the side dish, Alika tasted it at the end of a spoon. After trying her alika spit her out again. Alika is not used to eating rural cuisine that lives take in the garden and then become a side dish. Alika felt strange about the taste. Alika finally spilled her rice back into the rice place and sat next to her husband. Tajudin who saw alika's reaction finally asked.

"You don't like his cooking?" Tajudin asked who was facing alika.

"No. The cooking feels strange. Oh, I'm gonna go to bed." Alika answered and went straight to her room.

Tajudin who saw alika go away left her only to let alika go. Tajudin did not have the initiative to buy food that he liked. When the pensive tajudin alone in the kitchen he was surprised by the arrival of his father who had just returned from the rice field at six in the afternoon.

"Why din? Do not dream in maghrib. Come later!" Asked the father who saw his son was lethargic.

"I'm fine. I'm going to go to the room first." Tajudin said and went straight to his room.

After tajudin entered the room he saw alika who was lying in a mattress with a slanted position to her back. Tajudin sat under his bed with a frustrated face. Alika who saw the tajudin sitting on the edge finally moved to the tajudin.

"Mm can I talk?" Ask Alika who is already beside tajudin.

"What are you talking about?" sahut Tajudin again asked alika's question.

"When do we go back to Semarang to work there again?" Tanya Alika who was not at home in her husband's house.

"I've been fired from the factory. And I can't work there anymore!" Tajudin answered with his gloomy face.

"Then we go to Jakarta. I have a big boss acquaintance there. And will definitely earn a lot of money. Because I've worked at that company before!" Eager alika explained to her husband that tajudin was excited.

"I just want to work here. In my own neighborhood. No longer want to go anywhere!" Sahut tajudin who already feel lazy looking for money.

"But we have to keep working for our own needs!" Said alika who already really wants to work and get money in order to eat as she wants.

"I'm your husband. All your needs are my responsibility. If I don't work it means you're also my parents' responsibility!" Upset tajudin if arguing with alika who is always pushy.

After the answer, Alika could not argue anymore because the answer tajudin already checkmate. Alika whose savings are getting thinned becomes restless. He thought about how later after his savings ran out. If asking tajudin himself feels uncomfortable. Because alika has always studied independently and met her own needs.
