For the Sake of Heart
Job offer
Since returning to Pakistan Aini's husband worked as a waitress at her boss' house. Salary is not more enough to be very fitting but still be patient because you want how else.
Often his brother-in-law came to his house always making trouble. Not do not want to serve them as guests but to be cooked too there is often a lack of food. Even if there is it must be ironic to wear it.
"What are you doing today for us to ask his brother-in-law?" ask her brother-in-law.
For his son to go home from school, there was no food available.
"What do I cook that will not be cooked, and what will I cook?" ask Aini again.
"We are guests you must serve." Not concerned even cornered continue.
"This is a guest not invited, why bother taking care of you." Guests are not polite Aini lamented.
"Bad you don't have customs" said Aini's brother-in-law. While grumbling.
"You should think that your brother for me and his son just don't eat enough, so why would I bother your layanin?" javaab Aini. "you came here, not a guest. This is next to your popo house. It means you came to your own house. Why ask to serve everything, have no shame?" ask Aini.
With this sprain passed. Then Aini went to a stall near the house owed her food for her son to come home later. After his son came home, he was called into the room and had lunch.
"Oh was eating apparently, so he said no one was eating eh silent eat," Aini's sister-in-law cerocos.
"Do you still have a brain? for my son I have to owe you what do you owe? You come no longer invited why you often come," replied Aini. The wall's face.
"It's up to me to come here to my brother's house."
"It's hard to explain the same wall-faced man, it's your brother's house but he's married and has children means he has dependents." That's what I'm proud of having a brother. If there is no new taste.In the heart Aini grumbles continuously if her brother-in-law comes.
"What is this storm?" suddenly her husband came unbeknownst to Aini to hear all their conversations.
"This wife of yours I came not in cooking anything, but quietly eating with her child," answered her sister.
"This food owes not I buy, if I owe it means at home there is no stupid food," so much so Aini to say that her brother-in-law is stupid.
Hearing all that her husband just fell silent. He knew his wife was not wrong but because of custom he could not do.
"We don't have enough food and clothes. But you as a husband should understand our condition rather than you are afraid of custom" replied Aini firmly.

Tired indeed follow their desire to turn their heads. The school bag of his son has broken a new mhu. And Aini knew her husband didn't have any money.
This morning Aini got a call from a stranger. Actually he was lazy to answer. So let the phone ring. Without worrying about the sound. Aini busy working with children and other homework.
The day changes but the day remains the same. If his brother-in-law does not come often it feels very relieved. But if it comes, there will be a fight.
Not that Aini does not like him to come here if sodara comes must be in herbal medicine but more often they come at will. Guests have rules, but they are not as they please. And of course this is troublesome. Don't be able to convene guests for a meal a day is not enough.
Jinggg... Again the same number contacted but Aini was still reluctant to answer. Because it's an unknown number. Then text from the same number.
"I'm sorry to interrupt I got your number from someone and he recommended me to make you an interpreter for our business."
The message was read but again he did not believe it.
"Sorry Buk please reply to our sms?"
Enter again next text. Between doubt and curiosity Aini tried to retaliate.
"I'm sorry you got my number from where and what translator do you mean?" reply Aini doubtful.
"Still before Buk, already want to reply, this is how we create a business cooperation in the field of tourism. So we need an interpreter in urdu" he replied.
"Ta pi how can I work? I can't work outside. Definitely not allowed," replied Aini.
"Yeah I already understand Buk, later you are quite clear with watsapp only. Because we will later make your group so admin translator if anyone needs an explanation, well that way you enough work through hp and do not need to go out."
"Trus how does it work?" tanya Aini was getting interested. Maybe this is the answer to his prayer.
"Mom has a diploma not last what?"
"Last High School."
"Oh yes already.for formality only later mother send her picture."
"Trus about how much salary do I get each month?" tanya Aini began to understand.
"Later I send a brochure about salary and later the brochure I understand."
"it's fine." Aini doesn't believe it. But his heart was happy. What matters is that there is money coming in.
Between believing with not Aini desperately needs that money. Maybe this is the way to the problem. Hopefully, this work will be smooth, his heart murmured.
And may his son be lacking no more. It is easy to collect money to go home.
"I need money to buy a book."
"What book, baby?" aini asked while hugging her child.
"Aduk also ami pencil adek already short hard adek nulis," cerocos the little guy.
"Well, you'll have the same brother buy later ami kasih money," replied Aini again with a happy smile. In his heart he was eager to fulfill every wish of his son.
"Am there any money????" ask your child .
"It's a pity but not much" replied Aini again.
"I pray that ami can work to help papa make money" the innocent smile of her youngest child.
Aini hugged her son. Maybe this answer of prayer so far is easy to hopefully later the work offered Aini can.

"I'm sorry I'm Aini who you offered a job last night" said Aini.
"Oh, how do you understand Buk?"
"Well," answered Aini.
"Seriously Buk."
"Yes serious even if I can ask for this first salary at the beginning because I need," Aini replied frankly.
"M.mhhh good Buk, maybe you can receive the first salary at the beginning but half first and half again at the end of the month, how buk?"
"O.h thank you for nothing" replied Aini girang. In my heart I can imagine the smile of my son. What needs will be bought.
"Mom can send account number?
"Send to my husband's account, I'll send his number later" replied Aini.
"Well, wait."
Aini to see her husband . And said there will be remittances later for direct to him. And ask for an account number.
"Please ask for your account number later there is a remittance and you share it directly to me well," replied Aini.
"Where's the money?" ask Aini's husband to be curious.
"I got a job offer," replied Aini flatly.
"Since when?" ask the man doubtful.
"Newly and they paid my salary in half at the beginning of the other half at the end of the month, because I needed to. For children also pity," replied Aini.
"Goodoo. Why not ask permission first. How to go to work who takes care of the child.," he asked again.
"I just work from HP. As an interpreter," replied Aini.
"Oh I remember you went outside. Who's taking care of our son?" ask the sweet black guy. Often Aini's husband brags saying he is not less handsome than shah rukh khan. Of course Aini laughed.
"They knew I couldn't get out of the house. And work only with hp," replied Aini.
"Ma sha Allah does not believe it feels like hearing you can find money here" replied Aini's husband.
"If you've received a new salary believe it, right? " ask Aini.
"Hahaha," laughed Aini's husband .
"Yes already this text has entered my salary money," said Aini happily. "For direct to my hand," said Aini repeated. Do not want the husband to forget. If money is in her husband's phone.
******
May your heart be aware of my husband. I can now make money even though I still take care of the house and children.
"It's already taken money in the account," said Aini's husband.
"All my money?" ask Aini again.
"Yes. This is all according to your text," replied Aini's husband.
"Thank you" answered Aini.
"Here."
"Yes." Yeah."
"I can borrow it" asked Aini's husband.
"Make what?" ask Aini.
"I want to go to the village" replied Aini's husband.
"If there's no money don't go" replied Aini.
"Borrow me home" replied her husband.
"I don't want to be minjam. But I don't believe in you. You have been giving me money all this time" asked Aini again.
"But I need to. Go to the village to give money to my father" replied her husband again.
"Enak. I don't want to. This is money just for the needs of my son and I" replied Aini.
"Please, my grandfather didn't work my father minus hours of money, where I am."
"Yes just tell your dad, if you don't have one. Why bother me again. You are not ashamed to spend money on me, while you never give money yourself. And your father is stingy too" replied Aini.
"If you don't want to."
"Again your adek is already big. Why not work. Shame you should be the same. I'm not stingy. But you have been stingy all this time" replied Aini.
I don't want my money to be spent on your family expenses. You're supposed to do enough for me and the kids.
