LAILA TO KANG ROHIM

LAILA TO KANG ROHIM
EPISODE 28 OF LAILA WITHOUT ANY COMPLAINTS


In the morning, Rohim went into the garden. He has been prepared by Laila. So Rohim will come home at about eleven in the afternoon. Rohim went to the garden using his jengki bicycle. Laila also as usual will do activities at home.


When he had wiped all the glass of the mosque, he also checked the water and the WC in the mosque. Everything was clean, so he decided to continue his work at home. He did not buy vegetables that day. Because yesterday it was given Mukidi a jackfruit Muda or ordinary Javanese people call it Gori.


Laila this morning had cooked the Gori with a menu eaten with Krecek or skin crackers. Laila who this morning also asked Rohim to share his cooking with the neighbors because of the large amount of Gori vegetables.


Rohim even brought enough Gori vegetables earlier, in order to share with friends in the fields and in the rice fields. Indeed, a meal is a captivator of the hearts of the mothers who are near the residence of Laila. They feel happy because that morning they did not cook vegetables because early in the morning had been delivered a nice vegetable when it was ripe but the process was difficult when it was still in the form of fruit. Because of the amount of sap on the fruit when it will peel the skin.


When Laila was taking out some pillows to sunbathe. Suddenly he was shocked by the sound of something falling.


"Braaaaakk."


Laila quickly went to the back. He was quite surprised when he saw that the roofless bathroom wall had collapsed because it was in the impact of a cow owned by Bu Minah's husband. Truly Laila is a woman who is not only smart and also good at caring for the house. He who feels all the affairs of the house have been completed, just stay the Dhuha prayer and repeat his speech.


After he performed the worship that became his habit in the morning, Laila took a machete in the kitchen. She saw dozens of bamboos her husband had brought from the fields in those days. The walls of their bathrooms have indeed been quite fragile, but Rohim has not had time to change because of his busy work in the fields and teaching. And that morning, the wall finally collapsed as well.


Laila who used to accompany her teacher when she was Junior High where the teacher only had a handful of students. So santri room is made of bamboo because it has no cost but the number of santri who want to mondok. And at that time Laila helped her Kyai and Nyai Bu.


So for Laila it is very easy to install the bamboo into a fence. She did not want to wait for her husband to come home. Almost ten o'clock in the morning, Rohim's wife was again given a test in completing household affairs. Water machines do not live. He should shower immediately. Rohim usually comes home at eleven. It was also Friday. So her husband obviously came home early. Luckily the water shelter in the mosque was filled this morning.


Laila was looking for a rope inside the house. He tied the rope to a bucket. So be a tool to take from the well commonly called the bucket. He drew water until he filled the tub for a bath. When she finished the bath, Laila filled the water back into the tub. He prepared the water for Rohim to take a bath.


He went inside and put on his clothes. Laila prepared food for her husband. When Rohim came home from the field, her husband went straight to the bathroom by the side of the house, he was surprised to see the bamboo he brought from the field yesterday had been installed into a fence.


His wife even covered the top with black plastic that Rohim deliberately bought at the market. He washed his feet and hands.


Arriving at the kitchen Laila welcomes Rohim with a warm cup of coffee. Laila pulled a small stool, she cut her husband's nails every Friday it became Laila's habit she would help her husband cut his nails. But when Laila cut off Rohim's fingernails, her husband held his wife's hand.


"It should be me doing everything. Sorry I haven't been able to help you, Dik."


"The household does not rely on each other. But it complements each other, while Laila can. Laila will help do everything in this house while Laila can, all for the sake of Laila's husband."


When Laila finished cutting her husband's nails, Rohim rushed to take a bath and went to Friday prayers. But when he finished Friday prayers, Rohim who had been chatting with his neighbors, came home quite late. He also intends to fill the water reservoir for Ashar prayers later.


Rohim tries to turn on the water machine and cannot live. Both eyes looked towards the water.


How Rohim was made to have a wife who served him well. From he came home earlier, there was no look of tired face from Laila, no complaints from the wife. Though he had just paired small bamboo into a fence or wall of their bathroom. And it turns out that when he took a bath earlier, his wife drew water using a raffia rope made how many layers so strong.


When to the house. He saw his wife asleep on the side of the bed and her body still on the bed. Rohim rubbed his wife's head gently.


"May God give you glory Dik, for you are so good at glorifying your husband."


Laila who felt the rubbing on her head woke up.


"Mas.... Do you need anything?" Laila asked a little surprised.


"Mas needs rest with his wife who has served the mas well every day."


Both of Laila's hands were held by Rohim. He held the palm of the wife's hand that felt rough because of calluses.


"Why not wait until you get home, why draw your own water?"


Laila put her head in her husband's lap. The fragrance of Rohim perfume is so enjoyed by Laila.


"Mas knows, a wife is indeed not only in charge of cooking, washing at home. They also set an example for their children. We are both still now. But later when we have children, then our children will see what his mother looks like, he will emulate if he has become a wife. How her mother served her husband, how her mother never complained when she was tired. And that our kids can't get from anyone else. But from Laila. Then it must be familiar Laila since this time mas. To get used to it, so as not to be surprised. And of course all Laila did because she wished Ridho Allah for what Laila did to serve and make Laila's husband happy."


Rohim was silent. He also said what his wife said. Tomorrow they will have children. His wife is the madrasah of the child. Inevitably the child will learn, record, see, hear the figure of his mother and father everyday included in treating his partner.


So Laila hopes that her children tomorrow will carry out their responsibilities and obligations to her life partner. That is why he is exemplifying it directly within himself.
