Roses, Not Balsa
Determined to Succeed

...◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇...

Although always disappointed but not make Arsy give up just like that with his life. He's working hard to get better.

All he tried so that he could live independently later and not depend on anyone, yes! although not really now either. She was never dependent on anyone for her life, not even her husband.

Morning to the field, noon accompanied Laili to play and also study while the afternoon she would go to the place of Budhe Tantri and as it continues in every day.

No he cared about the words of his in-laws who always insulted and demeaned him. No matter the attitude of Adi who is getting here more and more, Arsy does not care about all that. He would only care about his future as well Laili.

He stayed because of Laili, and if one day he had to leave then that too for Laili, nothing else.

So seriously he studied at the Budhe Tantri place, that the longer he mastered everything. Initially wanted to open a small shop business in front of the house, but it seems not for now. He's gonna open the sewing house.

"I'm sure soon you'll be able to open a sewing house, son." Budhe Tantri's remark made Arsy speechless while looking at him.

"Why don't you believe you can?" ask Budhe Tantri again because Arsy is still silent.

Instantly Arsy shook his head. Opening a sewing house of course there must be capital, right? and he also had to buy some more equipment, such as the obras machine as well as others. What then?

"It's not like that, Budhe. But Arsy is still confused because he has no other equipment, continued Arsy is also confused to open where." he replied.

Budhe Tantri nodded in confirming.

"Yes too. Tell you what, these machines that are here you can use first. Budhe is no longer needed so you just take it and if you fit tomorrow-tomorrow you can buy it." he suggested.

Arsy stunned. Should he be happy or sad?

Budhe Tantri has been very kind to him. He was willing to teach his knowledge to Arsy and now he asked Arsy to use it all? Arsy is afraid that until someone says that Arsy only wants to use the old man.

"Thank you, Budhe. But... "

"Here, don't think too much. And also never listen to the words of others who might someday bring up this problem."

More and more feel indebted to Budhe Tantri Arsy. She was not afraid that there would be children who were concerned about her, because Budhe Tantri did not have children, and her husband was also old as she was even sickly.

Arsy was silent again, he was still thinking what he should do. This is an opportunity, but everything must also be prepared carefully.

...◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇...

Arsy sat in the room, opened his wallet and counted the money he had. He needs capital if he wants to open a sewing house. Although all Tantri budhe has given but he still needs another one.

"It's still very less. I couldn't possibly open a sewing house with just this five hundred thousand dollars. Got what with this? all the other equipment must be very expensive, where the machine also needs to be serviced again." Mumbled.

Arsy is so confused, from where he will get the money for the capital. She couldn't ask her husband let alone borrow it with her in-laws? won't get.

"Hem, I'll wait for the chili harvest first. Who knows, the harvest will be a lot and can make capital" he said again.

His face looks bright and his smile is wide. The chillies he planted in a moment would be reddened, obviously it would not take long.

Back Arsy pocketed his money and kept it again in the closet. He smiled again as he closed the closet.

"Hem, I better talk to Budhe Tantri to put up his plaque again in his house, later if there are people who sew so I can do and all taught by budhe Tantri. It's okay to have the result for two." Mumbled.

It seems like a very good plan for now. She can sew in Tantri's budhe house and can also share the results with her, so it can help her finances as well.

After steady Arsy out, and there are already all family members who sit back while watching television.

Bruk!

Just wanted to sit down Lusi gave the newspaper by throwing it in front of Arsy, obviously making him very surprised.

"That's where there's a lot of job openings. You can find a job there, even if only as a maid or washing worker" said Lusi so cynical.

"Sorry, Mom. But I'm not interested in working." he answered boldly.

"Not interested in working! you will only be unemployed like this forever!? you are not ashamed of the neighbors who continue to gossip because they only continue to be unemployed at home!"

It looks like Lusi is very angry because Arsy does not want to work. His face looks red.

"That's it, Mom. Don't waste your energy advising a lazy person like him. It will only make the mother become dizzy later." said Adi.

Not defending his wife but Adi even more make himself more humiliated in the eyes of his family. Strange, Adi took him there, made the wife he was supposed to protect and she supported, but the truth is?

"Mas's right, don't advise a slacker like me. But I will prove, if this lazy person will be successful in the future."

Arsy immediately moved, he left in front of everyone who had never considered him. What is around them if the edges only get humiliation.

"successful? what kind of success! success is unemployment!" shouted Lusi.

Arsy no longer answered, he kept quiet and went out of the room and approached Laili who was still outside with his friends.

"Laili, it's night, it's playing." call Arsy very gently.

"Friends, Laili has played it, tomorrow connect again." said Arsy.

All his friends nodded in response they also immediately rushed home to finish their game all.

Arsy walked in and still did not turn his head to everyone, he remained indifferent because everyone was like that as well, even their gazes looked cynical at him.

"Dream it over there!" lusi exclaimed as Arsy was about to open the door.

Arsy remained silent, he just walked in without a care anymore.

"I'll prove to you that I'm going to be successful and you can't laugh at me anymore who's just a graduate of Elementary School." Mumbled.
