Some days it seems like Galang's mood is good, proven he gave me a lot of money than usual. And also there is no drama when Ilmi asks for pocket money.
The last few nights have been a relaxing time for Yumna, as there is no more debate and also an upset look from Galang.
As usual, after putting the children to sleep Yumna started her new hobby, which is writing.
After writing. Yumna intended to try to approach Galang to speak from heart to heart.
Because Yumna realized that what was lacking in their relationship was communication.
And not yet Yumna approached Galang, Galang already opened the chat.
" This is you, a way of saving so that we have savings." He said while showing a post on one of the social media.
" Lo, I can save like that if you give me the right money."
" What right?"
" Yes, always give me money before my spending runs out."
" Why blame me, you should use your intelligence. How to make enough money to spend and to save. Cook you can't set aside 1000/2000 dollars every day." Galang.
" Can, I can save even when the day I can collect some money, so that the total reaches a hundred thousand. But because you are always angry every time I say if the shopping money runs out, and also sometimes angry with Ilmi when she asks for pocket money. Makes me forced to use the savings I've collected."
" Yes that's a sign you're not good at managing finances." Ketus Galang's.
" Kok so me, even though I've been trying as frugally as possible to reduce spending. Just try to give me enough money to spend, so I don't have to ask when the shopping money runs out."
" You think I'm easy to make money, if you can't wait for me to make money why don't you work and make money yourself." Galang.
" Why are you the one who is angry, I should be the one who is angry that I protested because you did not give me enough money to shop. Try if the bird race runs out no matter what."
" Why do you keep talking about it when we're talking."
" Of course, every time I say if the money you give is gone you're always angry. But when you spend money on a bird race you don't even get angry or don't protest."
" Of course, since I'm looking for money, I don't do that every day anyway. And I also need entertainment to entertain my mind so as not to always think about work."
Yumna let out a long sigh, Yumna was no longer shocked. Because this is common when Yumna tried to speak softly to Galang. And the edges must always be like this, Galang who does not accept the blame and always wants to win in the debate. Finally the conversation closed with each other silent and focused on their respective goals.
Ok Fix, meaning if I spend the money he's angry. But if he himself spends his money then there will be no anger and there will be no quarrel. Fix means I'm here just hitchhiking. Inner Yumna.
...----------------...
In the morning, Galang was silent and did not talk to Yumna, it certainly made Yumna a little upset.
Shouldn't he be upset with Galang but why Galang was upset with Yumna.
" Looking time is a mess." Yumna.
Yes, Yumna had to let go of the leisurely few days that she felt were now over. Yumna had to look back at Galang's annoyed face at all times.
If when they are at odds, Yumna is the one who relents and always tries to melt the atmosphere. But now, if they were at odds, Yumna would no longer do that. Yumna chose to be quiet.
Drrrttt drrrttt drrrrttt
Yumna mobile notifications.
" Yes Rim?"
" Aren't you busy?"
" No, what's up, what's up?"
" Hm."
" Well, what's hem?"
" I don't know where to start."
Yumna was speechless, the voice of the Jungle seemed to represent her already chaotic feelings at this moment.
" Say slowly."
Silent, for a moment of silence.
" I'm tired." Rimba.
" Cause??"
" Lives."
" What's wrong with your life?"
" It's complicated, you know my job doesn't give me a definite income and it's not enough for my family. Plus it looks like Intani is pregnant."
" Isn't that really exciting news?"
" Not for me, you know because my finances are not able to meet the needs of the household. With a heavy heart I allowed Intan to work. I feel like I'm not a man anymore. I don't feel good about being a husband, I'm not good at finding money for my family so I let my wife work."
" It's okay, maybe this is your marriage test. You must be able and must be strong, believe me that one day things will be inversely proportional to what is happening now."
" Yes I know it's just.."
" Rimb, most comfortable expectations that we want do not match the reality that occurs. But we still have to live it with a chest, right?" Yumna.
" Yes you're right."
" And about the economy, I myself can also be said to be very lacking for economic problems, but it does not have to affect the relationship between the two of you right?.I mean you mean the details to make Intan happy in other ways, but it does not have to affect the relationship between the two of you right, by adding love and attention for example. Especially the possibility of pregnancy. So you should be able to give more attention and affection to him. About economics, believe me if someday there will be a way in front of you."
" Yes, what about your story?"
" me?, huh. The story is still the same as it used to never change in the slightest. Can I give up now?"
" No, you always encourage me when I'm in trouble, but why would you give up on your own life's problems."
" I don't know Rimba, I'm tired of all this. I'm just thinking about what other reason to keep this marriage than because of the kids."
" You anyway, I asked you to love me you didn't want to."
" Just start again.."
" Hehe, sorry. But I'm honest, I still love you like I used to."
" Remember Intan." Yumna.
" Haha, Intan is teaching at school and I am also in the office to take care of my unfinished work."
" So that?"
" Rimb, listen. I hope you will always remember my words, happy is always Intan. Even if you can't make her happy through the material but happy she is in another way. Like love him and care for him. You know it would be very painful for a woman if her husband no longer gave her affection."
" Yumna..."
" I mean it, I want you to promise me that you'll always make Intan happy no matter what, happy for her even if you're subject to a material test."
" Of course, I will always make my wife happy, and I also hope that you will find happiness."
" It's a long time ago, I have to teach Ilmi to learn."
" all right. Yumna's..."
" Yes??"
" Don't forget that you still have me who will always be faithful to listen to your grievances."
" Of course."
Tut
The call ended Yumna put back her phone.
Rimba, deep down, thank you there is love for you. You know, I really understood what love was after I met you. True love is love that does not impose the will of each side. I am so grateful that I love a man like you. Our love and our story will be told to my children and grandchildren. I will teach them how to make a couple happy and also find the right love. Inner Yumna.
Yumna's heart felt so warm as she recalled the story of her and Rimba.
Sometimes he also regretted why every Jungle expressed love to him, he always chose to hang on with his lover. And the same thing happened when he expressed his feelings for Rimba, when Rimba also had a lover. So Yumna did not want Rimba to leave her lover for her sake.
From that moment on, Yumna realized that maybe their destiny was not intended together.
" Rimb, don't be sad because it turns out we can't unite. Maybe God really wants us like this, keep supporting each other." Yumna said, as Rimba suddenly contacted and discussed about them.
" You don't wait for me to get a steady job. If only you'd waited for me until I actually got the right job, maybe the woman I'd be applying for would be you."
" Ck, where are you going, right?"
" Yes, I made him my second wife."
" Don't mess with you, remember that until I hear you leave Intan, the first person to get mad at you is me."
" Yes, seriously."
" Rimba denger, I'm sorry enough in a marriage. Don't you go through the same thing as me. I really hope you can appreciate Intan if she's already your wife later. Love and happiness she always."
" Of course, I'm starting to love him now. Not as much as love for you."
...
The jungle can always make the heart of Yumna tenan. And Yumna always prayed for the happiness of the Jungle. And without Yumna knowing Rimba also prayed happiness for Yumna.
Rimba, how can I let you choose me and leave Intan. Whereas Intan himself once told me that you were very hurt about me. And Intan was hurt because of your slump. There I am sure that Intan is the one who deserves to accompany you not me. Inner Yumna.
Yumna smiled and felt she had found a little happiness in her heart. Even if only by remembering his story with the Jungle.
Now, they rarely communicate, not infrequently but almost never communicate again. Maybe because Rimba who now has 2 children, and also busy Yumna take care of her two daughters. As well as the disease of mind that always haunts Yumna, making Yumna no longer dare to contact Rimba first. Because he was afraid that he would disturb the already calm life of the Jungle. Although Yumna had been hurt to Rimba because at her wedding, Rimba did not tell Yumna or invite her.
" Send who your house is and your phone number is changing." Bela Rimba when they can return to communication after a long time lost contact.
" Yes, you can find me through social media. After all, social media accounts still remain that long never change and change." Yumna
" Yes, don't get mad I'll kiss you."
" Can you?"
" While."
" How?"
Rimba turned off his call there directly sent emoticons kiss to Yumna.
Yumna could only smile. Really being able to communicate, hearing the Jungle is a joy in itself for Yumna. And now that they could no longer joke around with laughter as before, Yumna could no longer share her grievances with the Jungle. Because Yumna was afraid that the problem would burden the Jungle. Because after all Rimba is now married and must have been busy with his family. Let Yumna learn to keep her own problems.
....
...
" Nda, come here." Galang said, one day when Yumna was sitting relaxing with Ilmi who was studying.
" Yes, what's up?" Yumna said as she walked into the house.
Yumna saw Galang holding 4 pieces of money in red. Two in the right hand and two in the left hand.
" This gives to your mother, and this I'll send to my mother."
" Thank you." Yumna.
Then without saying anything else Galang took his jacket and began to go to work.
Yumna's eyes glazed over while looking at the 2 pieces of money, the article during marriage, this is the first time Galang gave money to Yumna to give to Mother Yumna.
Galang has never been open about finances to Yumna.
Even whenever Galang sent money to his mother, Galang never told Yumna.
Yumna also found evidence of the transfer twice with a large nominal that Galang sent to his mother when Yumna was in his hometown.
When Yumna found evidence of the transfer, it was really like Yumna wanted to get angry screaming and crying.
" Why don't you ever open up about money to me Galang. I always felt like you were more concerned about your mother than I was. I still remember when you borrowed money to send to your mother. While at that time I asked for money to buy rice but instead of you giving money you gave me a diatribe. My heart really hurt Galang, what do you think I am?" Yumna said to herself.
If Yumna had the courage to oppose Galang. He would definitely be very angry with Gilang. Because he never wanted to be open about anything to Yumna.
" Lord, what makes me so weak in front of Galang. Why do I not dare to fight him. Was it because I was afraid that if Galang demanded a divorce so that no one would ever give me money for the living expenses of me and my children. Or maybe I'm a stupid woman, for not wanting to fight the injustice that's done to my household."
Yumna wept lamenting the folly and anguish experienced.
" Is this my pain or is it my destiny?. Is it true that my mother's brother said that what happened to me was because of the karma of my father's past actions?"
