Samuel's words continued to ring in the head of Mentari, about their friends who had succeeded in becoming workers in the office. About some people who have continued their studies back to a higher level, it feels really nice if the sun imagines it,, considering for two years Mentari only wrestled with household work. Mentari felt his big belly, then saw Aqeel and Aqeela who were playing together, then glanced at Ujang who was changing his clothes with special clothes when he was going to paint,, and then looked at Ujang,, for a long time his fingers did not hold a polpen, book or laptop, the hand was now more familiar with brooms, dirty fabrics and kitchen tools.
The life he lives today feels very far from his dream first, Mentari used to aspire to work in the office, he said, or teaching in High School and having students who can be friends with it must be very fun. Mentari is very happy to see a career woman who is very fashionable with her dress, for women today's Mentari is not at home to take care of children, the breakup of Samuel first and despair when he was doing nothing, made him take a big decision just marry!!!
Mentari is happy, even very happy married to Ujang, but in the corner of his heart as a woman who has a diploma, there is a longing to work, mingle with other friends, and others, so it is not just about the kitchen, the well and the mattress. The dreamy face of Mentari at this time immediately made Ujang think, what is with his wife? even though before he was from the office, his wife looked fine.
"Dance, you daydream?" ask Ujang.
"Huh? what Bang? oh no," said Mentari.
"Surely something is bothering you, tell me!!! it is not good if stored alone," said Ujang.
Mentari felt so wrong, did she have to tell him about her meeting with Samuel? considering all this time she and her husband, always open with each other.
"Dance?" Ujang.
"So, Tari met with Samuel in the office of Lurah," said Mentari.
Ujang's hand that was buttoning his clothes immediately stopped, he immediately came near his wife and sat cross-legged in front of his wife.
"Don't get angry, right?" asked the worried Mentari as soon as she saw her husband's facial expression change.
"What are you going to the office?" ask Ujang.
"Follow Mother" replied Mentari.
"Samuel at the office, what do you want?" ask Ujang again.
"He belongs to the entourage of the Regent," replied Mentari.
"Where is it wrong?" asked Ujang while smilingly looking at his wife.
"You will meet accidentally, so there is nothing wrong, unless you meet because of a promise, that's how you will be angry" said Ujang again.
"We talked for a moment?" say Mentari again.
"You mean?" tanya Ujang who began to worry that his wife would be tempted by Samuel, Ujang knew that Samuel was the Mentari type, especially now that the child had worked in the office,, Ujang still remembers very well Samuel once said that he still loves the woman who has now become his legal wife Ujang at this time.
"When I went to the washroom, we passed and we talked for a while" said Mentari who admitted everything, there was a feeling of guilt in the Mentari when he said he had spoken briefly with Samuel.
"What are you talking about?" ask Ujang.
"Not much, he just conveyed the information that my friends have been successful," said Mentari and immediately make Ujang breathe a sigh of relief, meaning Samuel did not seduce his wife, and,, Samuel did not say that he still loved Mentari.
Of course Mentari will not say the past problems that Samuel had touched on earlier, let alone the expression of love from Samuel earlier, who still loves him, Mentari will not say that to Ujang.
"It's good that they are successful, meaning that their parents have managed to educate their children until their children get a job" said Ujang.
Ujang answered casually while Mentari was not satisfied with the casual answer.
"Then what's bothering you? did Samuel say anything other than that?" asked Ujang who began to feel anxious while looking at his wife.
"No, he just said that he's also been successful, he has graduated as ASN," said Mentari who would not say that Samuel had asked himself to be his wife without forbidding himself if he wanted to be a career woman.
Ujang smiled, he felt amused himself, the boy had never stopped showing off. Then stroked the hair gently.
"What do you think success is, Dance?" ask Ujang.
Mentari stuttered, she could not answer her husband's question, according to him it was a question that only tested.
"Do you think success should work in the office? wearing nice clothes and not doing homework at all?" say Ujang again.
"You know what's the reason people work, Tari," asked Ujang.
"Of course to get a salary and experience" replied Mentari.
"If we compare the larger percentage of people who want to get experience with people who need money?" ask Ujang.
"Of course it's bigger to get money" Mentari replied based on his own mind, Mentari used to aspire to buy his own motorbike using his own money as well.
"A lot of women out there are forced to leave their children to the nanny, go home early in the afternoon to find the name money, not all actually but mostly like that, success is different portions,,, the,, Dance, being able to be a good wife and educate her children well it is a successful woman as well, successful as a wife and successful as a mother as well, she said, isn't the most noble job for women at home?" Ujang.
"But this is a very different age, brother?" mentari.
"Yes, but the nature of the woman remains the same" said Ujang.
Mentari disagreed a little with her husband.
"I don't forbid you to work Dance, but maybe right now the kids need you more, I can meet all your needs because we have enough money, if you want to work then there will be time, but do it with pleasure not because of burden," said Ujang.
"So if the kids are older, can Dance work too?" ask Mentari.
"May but the near-house only because we can not move house," said Ujang again.
"Near here? where's Brother?" tanya Mentari who was originally starting to be happy now looks disappointed again, they live in the Village there is no job that can be considered fun if in the Village.
"So SD teachers can too, right?" Ujang.
"Tari, he wants to be a high school teacher, Brother," said Mentari.
"Can, as long as the children are already at large, except..," said Ujang.
"Except what Brother?" tanya Mentari was curious.
"You gave birth again, it must be another matter" said Ujang with a smile.
Mentari immediately snorted, Mentari had stressed several times to her husband, that they only had three children, Mentari did not want to concede anymore, after their child was born she would immediately install KB.
But Ujang seemed to not heed his words, the proof is that her husband still believes they will have more than three children.
"Three is enough!" said Mentari then rose up to walk towards Aqeela who has now started playing the power cord.
"Not necessarily, many people put up KB as well, but they remain pregnant, if God has willed, then nothing is impossible, Dance?" Ujang.
"Just Mentari is not willing to add children, period," said Mentari.
"Who can talk like that if the man who has no husband, then you? every night stick to Brother, want to be that way," said Ujang again.
"Abaanngggg," annoyed Mentari.
"That's the reality of Dance, he said he did not want to have children where it could be, as I said earlier, if you are still married do not be afraid not to not want to have children, my wife," said Ujang.
Ujang smiled amusedly when he saw the annoyed face of Mentari and then Ujang immediately went down the stairs leaving Mentari who was currently agitated because of Ujang's actions.
"If childbirth continues, when can I work?" mentari.
Mentari batin themselves, but what is said by Ujang is true too, he often steals the experience of mothers who have married, but what is said by Ujang is true, he often steals the experience of mothers who have married, that there is a KB that works for some people and some of it does not work.
She had also heard her mother's story that there was a rampage to the doctor because she was pregnant again despite having installed KB. The mentor immediately shuddered in horror himself, would he be a small part of the unprepared one? to be honest, she did not like many children, what would happen if every year she gave birth, such as the distance of the first and second pregnancies are so close. Unimaginable how to bother taking care of a lot of children, imagining going to have another child after Aqeel and Aqeela, Mentari tried to build her mentality that she could definitely get through it. Mentari was so afraid of not being able to take care of all her children well, she was really afraid of being a failed mother.
