Roses, Not Balsa
Arsy's Faith

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

"Mas, how about Arsy borrow the money first for the payday this month. I want a small business. Arsy promised I'd give it back later" said Arsy.

Arsy's words sounded so hopeful it was able to stop Adi who was reading the newspaper. Mumpung sunday and he had a holiday so he could relax by reading the newspaper with a coffee companion.

Arsy who finished sweeping directly approached him still with the broom he was carrying and now stopped right next to the silent Adi.

"May ya, Mama. I promise I'll give it back." said Arsy. He was so begging.

"Usaha, are you sure your efforts will be successful and can return my money?" so cynical Adi replied, without asking what effort and already directly like that. He turned his head arrogantly by folding the newspaper again and he put it on the table with a bit of roughness.

Adi's eyes rounded for a moment towards Arsy who had begun to be disappointed, this he had thought. He would never get a loan despite his reasons for the venture, and it turned out that it was true.

"No no! I'm not gonna lend you. I don't want to because you're gonna lose my money and I can't save for this month."

Adi looks so careless, he also had a very upset beck because Arsy who wants to borrow money for business.

"What a difference, Mom. The money I borrowed will not be lost I will return it after the capital is back. Please, Mum!"

Arsy turns to sit in the seat next to Adi who is still empty, but she faces her husband with sharp eyes looking at him. Will not borrow Arsy get the money?

"Please, Mum. I'll give you your money back. If for example the old money back my plants are also soon to harvest, right? I can return the money with that."

"If I say no yes no! If indeed the plants you plant soon harvest better you wait for the vegetables so you do not need to borrow money and will not be dizzy to return it."

Adi's words were so firm to Arsy, there was really no hope of borrowing money to her own husband.

Shouldn't he be the one who meets all his needs and can support what he wants to do, but he's not! Arsy never got that support from Adi.

"Mas!" shouts Arsy.

Instead of lending money to Arsy but Adi instead quickly stood up and just entered leaving Arsy who was fixated on silence with a very upset feeling to Adi.

I want Arsy to cry but what? He will get nothing and will only get insulted if his in-laws see.

The question in Arsy's heart is, how much money Adi has in savings. Why until now there is no news about it.

"Didn't they all want me to move forward? But it's my turn to try and borrow money from him that I don't get the loan, let alone not the loan support." really, said Arsy so sad considering everything that has happened to him.

Arsy is getting embarrassed because of the arrival of Rani in the morning like today, not only alone but she came with her husband and child.

"Yes, Honey. A woman without insight like her can what?" Hendri added. It seems like Arsy was never considered capable in their eyes.

Just because Arsy graduated from Elementary School they continue to insult him and continue to underestimate whatever he does.

"Yuk we go in, father and mother must really like our arrival" said Hendri again.

So arrogant the two walked in with each other embrace, while the child who was about the age of eight knew he was walking behind him.

"Laili's mother, I'm sorry father and mother" said the boy, who turned his head after his parents entered.

"He'em," Arsy just smiled in response to his nephew's remark. Of all his family, only Rey the nephew can always be gentle and appreciate it. He was very different from both his parents as well as his grandparents.

"Rey!" Call Hendri, he turned his head for a moment because Rey never moved.

"Yes, Dad!" fast Rey ran, he had to hurry and should not be caught by his parents if he greeted Arsy well.

There was a very warm welcome inside, they were always happy when Rani and Hendri came. I don't know what else they both want.

Arsy just silently listened to all the conversations of everything in the living room, while he?s? He was in the kitchen to make breakfast for Laili.

Rani brought very good food just as they all feel happy, even Adi also feel there and ignore his son and wife.

"Have a good time, if Allah wills me to succeed in the future, I will certainly repay you all." said Arsy.

No matter he just thinks he lives by them, useless, can not give anything, it is not a problem. Let everyone talk, Arsy is sure the wheel will turn and he will be on top.

"Mother, Laili is hungry. is it ripe?"

"Alhamdulillah is dear. we eat yuk." Take Arsy and Laili nodded in spirit.
