"Ta, there's no vacancy you know?"
"E, nothing, Lin. You know, this day and age is hard to find a job."
"Yes, Ta. I-i know. I have also submitted applications to many companies, but until now there have been no calls," said Salin.
Indeed, there has not been a month he was stopped from where he worked first. But until now, although he has submitted applications to several companies, but until now there has been no result.
"Patience dong, Lin. You haven't been angry long. It's also only been a month. Maybe they feel trivial with your CV. But you take it easy, the windfall is not going anywhere," said Gita corroborated.
Yes, Salin and Gita are not best friends or close friends. They only knew each other because they worked in the same place first. But fate, Salin must be dismissed from his position because it is considered undisciplined.
Especially since marrying Setu, Salin has not had a friend for where he shares. In addition to Setu forbid, Salin also did not want to open the disgrace of his household to others. He planted himself for himself, he was strong. Although not infrequently he felt tight in the chest.
"E, e, I just remembered, Lin. A friend of mine just opened a perfume shop here. So he needs sales marketing but don't. I don't want you working there. In terms of your experience and CV, you are more suitable indeed in the company. Moreover, you are a graduate abroad." The length of the Gita explains.
"It doesn't matter what the job is, Ta. I want to, which is important halal. And not harm anyone else. But..."
"Yes, Lin. I really understand. Yes, yes, gini. Think about it, if you agree, call me back. If you're yes, I can talk to my friend directly. Okay?"
"Yes, Ta. Thanks a lot yes. You want to help me."
"What the hell are you, Lin. Like anyone," said Gita.
Gita ends her call with Salin, as Gita is about to leave with her boyfriend.
"Yes first, Lin. Let's connect again. Just call me the job."
"Yes, Ta. Thanks again, Ta."
*****
Today, even a month already Copy does not work. Thirty applications that he spread to various companies, but until now has not yielded results. No one called or replied to his proposal.
Copy also must every day pretend to go to work and go home as usual to cover up if he has not worked all this time.
But until when? When does it have to be like this? As a career woman as well as a wife of course she is tired and saturated.
"Did I try the proposal that Gita said? There is no harm when I try new. Than I gini-gini aja continues," his inner.
He asked himself, and he answered himself.
Brakkk
Suddenly Copy was startled by the sound of a door opening violently. Reflexes, he got up from the mattress quickly and immediately stood up.
"Ma Setu!" says surprised.
As a good wife, who certainly still has a stock of patience, he welcomed Setu.
"You drunk, mas?" tanyakanya.
There was no response from Setu. He seems to be heavily drunk. Her eyes are red.
"What are you like as a wife? Why is your husband drunk? You don't care about him? You're not paying attention to him?"
Suddenly a thunderous voice entered their room.
"What did you do that he got drunk like this?" again on Copy.
"You take care of her as you would a wife. If my son ever asks why, you're the one I'm holding accountable!" threaten Sirlina's mother.
Copy glared after hearing the threat from the in-laws. What does it mean try? Who is drunk, who is to blame? Yes, that's Sirlina's mother. Today he did not get a gap to scold Salin. So he took advantage of the moment when Setu was drunk as an outlet for his anger.
Sometimes copy is confused. Does your mother-in-law have a disease or disorder? Every day always try hard to find mistakes Copy. And once he finds it, he'll be angry. Not even infrequently Salin get violence from Sirlina's mother.
Not from his father-in-law, from Setu he often felt the hardness of Setu's hand hit, hit or hurt him. I don't know. For now, he can only be patient. I wish there was a miracle that would make the mother and the child change for her.
Brakkk
Sirlina's mother shut the door of the room back firmly. He had already come out of Setu and Copy's room.
Patiently, Copy opened Setu's shoes, not to forget also his clothes. Seen by the restless Setu. He also changed his shirt and pants. Maybe that's what makes Setu uncomfortable in his sleep.
Copy take warm water to wipe the body of the husband.
Slowly, he opened one by one the buttons of the blue shirt. Here are the inside shirts too. Then he dried the little towel, he put it on Setu's body. Slowly so as not to disturb her comfortable sleep her husband.
Going down, he wiped it. And .. when he wiped Setu's stomach, he realized one thing. There was something different above Setu's navel. There's a red color. But I don't know what.
Copy put his gaze closer to that red color. He wipes slowly. Long until it finally disappeared. Once it is gone, it tries to wipe the other parts. And he found the red color again. This time on Setu's back. The red color is getting clearer.
And not just one. There's a lot of red marks right here and there on her husband's back.
Which wife does not cut her heart saw all that. A work of who does it. Clearly, it was not his doing.
Shock therapy that he got was not just there. Again he was more surprised when the husband mentioned the name of someone in his deep sleep.
"With.... Weni's.. ah."
Throw away the tears Copy.
