After Ara met someone at the cafe. Ara went to the ATM to check the balance. ATM that he holds, usually salary in Gilang cafe directly in the transfer to his ATM. Not much, but enough to replace the money that he has been using for matters of tightness or urgency only.
Yeah, like this week Ara rarely comes out. Most out just work, the rest he spent in the index. Eating problems he just order.
Ara repeatedly sighed, so harshly living here after she got married. She's a really poor woman now. He wanted to go home to his home in Bandung. It was like living there to be close to his mother and sister.
But for now it is not possible. He has to finish everything as he should. He was also quite tired, his mother also agreed if indeed the household was only the age of corn kernels had to run aground.
After checking the ATM balance. Ara walked down the sidewalk to find boutiques around here. With still carrying a black plastic bag containing various drinks and snacks.
Already entered several boutiques, but no clothes to his liking. He wants to look elegant later. The clothes he brought had often been used, so occasionally from the results of his work money to buy a dress consider it a reward after tired of dealing with an emotional life.
After a long walk around the streets of the city in search of a boutique store finally met as well. Intentionally walk, because Ara is afraid to go. It will be easier when the road, compared to having to take public transportation. While burning calories are also those who have been settling for a week without much activity as usual.
Finally Ara entered the boutique that looks quite crowded. They were greeted by friendly female staff.
"Bak I want to find a dress" Ara told the female employee.
"Oh there is Ma'am, it just happens to stay a few pieces. Come with me" said the official as he walked ahead of Ara to guide the direction where the clothes were.
While Ara waited, the clerk carried five pieces of dress in her hand. Various models and colors.
"This, Mother, please choose," added the employee while hanging the dress in front of Ara.
Ara finally picked and took three pieces of the dress she felt like. "I, try it first, Ma'am."
"Oh, yes please Ma'am," the female employee nodded kindly.
Ara also entered the dressing room. He tried one by one, he looked in the mirror how he looked if he was wearing one of their dresses. Finally, Ara dropped her choice to one of the maroon-colored dresses with V-neck models with a touch of sequins and lace that is not too domineering.
"How much is it?" Ara took a look at the price tag and Ara's eyes immediately rounded ending up swallowing her saliva.
Ara came out with a grim face. He took all three clothes out. The female employee who was still faithful waiting also threw a friendly smile at Ara.
"How Ma'am? You want to take everything?" tanyakanya.
Ara just grimaced, "no ma'am, I need one. This is the red color please wrap," said Ara while thrusting the dresses and her ATM.
"Wait a minute Ma'am, I wrap it up first" the female employee asked and immediately passed away.
"You know, everybody doesn't buy. But see the only price to make a drag ATM mending one, one only makes not willing to spend money," he murmured with a disappointed face.
For the sake of one dress he had to spend half his salary at the cafe.
Not long after the woman came back. Giving a paper bag containing the dress that Ara chose, shopping receipts, and his ATM. Ara thanked him and immediately left the boutique.

Ara looked at the clock on the phone which almost showed seven o'clock passing. Her feelings were now nervous with her repeatedly twisting her body to look at the body-sized mirror. Afraid of his appearance there is less.
His hair that began to lengthen he let it unravel only he slipped silver hairpins with a rose carving that was in line with his dress. His face is also polished a little to make it look fresh. Then he sprayed the perfume on the neck and wrist area. Lastly, he used black high heels that he had bought after buying a dress.
Just standing up, Ara staggered as it was her first time wearing high heels. Very difficult at the beginning, therefore Ara before being invited he learned little by little to get used to using it.
"Women who usually wear, seem very easy to walk. Lah, I'm using a feeling of low back pain," Ara murmured by trying to learn to get used to. wearing heels.
Tok
The sound of the door knocking. Ara rushed to take the black-colored Sling bag she had prepared. He opened the door wide.
Two humans stared at each other, one not expecting who was coming. One stared in admiration by Ara's stunning appearance.
Ara was stunned, "Derry?"
Derry throws a sweet smile at Ara, "Udah ready?"
"Lho, how did you pick it up?" ask Ara.
"To tell Mama" Derry replied, "yuk, have you prepared?"
"Udah" answered Ara.
Ara immediately closed the door and locked it. Derry is waiting. After seeing Ara finished. They also walked without speaking.
"Neng Ara is leaving?" kang Odi asked the kos security guard that Ara lived in after they reached the court.
"Oh, yes Kang." Nod Ara while smiling.
Derry leaves Ara, who is talking to Kang Odi, to the car to open the door for Ara.
Kang Odi approached, "his girlfriend huh, Neng?"
Ara was surprised to find Kang Odi asking what would make her and Derry awkward. Ara knew because Derry could hear Kang Odi's question clearly, it was very uncomfortable. His eyes were trying to look the other way.
"Bu-not Kang, she's my sister" Ara said.
Kang Odi nodded, "Owalah, kirain is dating. I don't look like my sister."
Ara only grimaced thinly while rubbing her nape. What Ara means sister-in-law, not sister-in-law. But yes, it's up to Kang Odi to respond as to what. After all, everyone here no one knew that he was married. Instead of clarifying and later even add many more questions.
"If so, I say yes Kang. Assalamualaikum," said Ara to Kang Odi.
"Oh, yes Neng, mango."
Ara immediately got into the car. Before entering, he took the time to say thank you to Derry for having to open the door for him.
