Roses, Not Balsa
Seeing With Your Own Eyes


...◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇...


Before her own eyes now Arsy saw that her husband had betrayed her. Her tears immediately spilled when she was still in one of the textile figures and saw her husband who was alone with a woman in one of the restaurants right in front of the textile shop.


Yesterday he still did not want to believe everything because he had not seen it with his own eyes, but now everything was very clear how close they were both. And it turned out to be true, they were already like a couple who were not ashamed of indulging in affection in front of everyone.


The two of them even fed each other, they also smiled and looked so happy regardless of Arsy's current suffering. They do not see, but if they see, they will remain indifferent and do not care.


"Why are you so brave?" mumbling Arsy. Her tears kept flowing so profusely soaked her cheeks.


"Son, what's wrong?" ask a mother who wants to come in and see Arsy in tears.


"Hem, it's okay. Just a flickering," Arsy quickly wiped his tears away, he did not want until his sadness was seen by everyone. Moreover, they will know the bad luck that turned out to be cheered on by her own husband.


"really? or maybe we're sick?" the question is so attentive.


Arsy shook his head, "No, Mom. Hem, I'm saying ma'am, Assalamualaikum."


Arsy so rushed away from the presence of the Mother, either will be brought to where his heart is so broken at this time. Is it possible to meet the husband and his affair, or go home and save his own suffering.


"Wa'alaikumsalam," The mother is still focused on seeing Arsy who has passed and is getting farther from him. His gaze moved towards the restaurant across the street, very clearly there was a pair of men and women who looked so friendly.


"Is it because of them?" mumbling guessed.


"Ah, that's their own business. But if it's true that she's given strength." the mother goes back on the steps, goes into the store to buy what her goal came for.


...****************...


Arsy could have come to Adi and immediately humiliated himself there because he had cheated on him, but it was not the right choice for him because he preferred to go home. She wouldn't humiliate anyone else let alone her own husband.


Idiotically. Maybe that's what people say if they know what happened to Arsy. And obviously they're going to do the opposite of what he's doing now.


Arsy continued to cry after being inside the room, hiding his immense sadness. He also kept thinking, cradling what he would do after this.


"No, I can't be weak. I have to wait for my money to collect first and then I can make a decision. I wouldn't have taken Laili away from here without any supplies" he said.


In removing her tears very quickly, she should be able to make her cheeks dry.


"Thanks!" the scream from outside was so loud that Arsy was startled and immediately ran out to see who was calling. How lazy after seeing who came, he was Rani the son-in-law of pride.


"Mom, what's wrong?" ask Arsy flat.


"Take it! I don't have any clothes, baby if I throw them away. You'll still need it."


With so sadistic Rani threw a piece of clothes to Arsy, it was clear that the clothes immediately landed right on the body of Arsy who reflexively caught him.


Not only the treatment of her in-laws, her husband and even her fellow daughter-in-law Arsy did not get a good attitude. All of them look down on Arsy who is only a graduate of Elementary School and does not have any job, also they believe they do not have any income.


"You won't be able to buy expensive clothes, so instead of me throw it you better wear it. Don't you?"


With so haughtiness Rani sat in the middle room chair and directly leaned back also supporting one leg to the other. Really, Arsy doesn't like Rani's treatment of him.


"Sorry, Ma'am. I don't need a shirt. I don't have clothes like this not because I can't afford it, but because I don't like clothes that lack this material. Better keep the clothes, maybe someday I'll need them."


Arsy is so brave. He immediately threw back the clothes that Rani gave to the owner.


Rani's eyes immediately rounded perfectly, glaring with dislike towards Arsy who now dared to answer his words.


"It's so arrogant of you! poor just pretended to be rich, can you buy clothes like this? money from where! swab!" cheer Rani doesn't like it.


"Take it!" rani threw the shirt back.


"Alright, Ma'am. If you don't need it, then my clothes will be accepted. And I say thank you very much because the clothes will be useful here.''


"Huh, poor acting!" Rani spoke again so haughtily. She was so beautiful after Arsy received the shirt.


Arsy walked towards the entrance with the gift from Rani, and placed it in the middle of the door.


"Well, the clothes will be more useful here" said Arsy. Arsy stepped on the shirt a few times before he left. Actually he did not want to do such a thing, but Rani who always demeaned that made her moved and did it.


Rani's eyes rounded perfectly when she saw what Arsy had done to her shirt. It was obvious that he was angry that his clothes were only used as doormats by Arsy.


"Arsy, how dare you do that!" rani shouted so loudly, stopping the steps of Arsy who wanted to enter the kitchen.


"Why Ma'am angry, anyways the shirt is not used for Mbak. So that's what the suit is for now, it's just worth it to be a doormat."


Rani's eyes are getting rounder and very wide. He was very angry at Arsy for his treatment.


He longed to insult Arsy with his stupidity and poverty, but now Arsy was not as stupid as he thought he was. Either get the courage from where to Arsy can always resist and answer all his words.


"Thanks!" peekik Rani was so angry.


Arsy did not care at all about Rani now who was up from where she was sitting just now, it doesn't matter how her eyes and face look as Arsy prefers to go to the kitchen to prepare lunch before Laili gets home from school.


"Bad! look out for you Arsy!"' rudely Rani snatched her own bag that was still on the chair, she immediately waltzed away from the place and rushed out.


Up at the door Rani wanted to kick her shirt earlier, She was very upset but it was her frustration that made her have to fall because of the semblance of excitement.


Bruk!


"Aww!" the pecker is in pain. Directly his hand touched his own spine because it hurt so much.


Arsy who heard running but did not come out. He just saw what happened and closed his mouth because he could not help but laugh.


"Revelation loh!" rani's eyes were so sharp, she looked at Arsy who had laughed at her.


"Need help Mommy?" ask Arsy without coming closer.


"Take a look at you!" that's all Rani said. He slowly stood up even though with difficulty he was able to succeed. Rani passed away by riding her white motorcycle matic.


"Astaghfirullah, hahaha!" apart from that, Arsy laughs after Rani leaves.


"That's the reward for being the proudest, richest pretender in the world" Arsy said. "Because the stone itself, right?"


Slightly treated the pain that is in Arsy's heart, although his intention Rani came only to insult him but in the end instead provide entertainment for him and make him laugh. Indeed, God always gives unexpected ways to comfort the wounded heart.


"Assalamu'alaikum." said Laili when he entered.


"Wa'alaikumsalam." Arsy turned his head back, but he just wanted to turn his body and go back to the kitchen turned out his son had come home.


It's time for Arsy, lunch should be ripe but because Rani's arrival everything becomes chaotic.
