The Curse of Love

The Curse of Love
Part 34 The Trial Must Have Always Existed

I'm still quiet. The events after Maghrib are still in my memory.


I slept beside Dina, while Mas Sofwan was still watching television outside. I don't think women today, real men are married, but still obsessed with chasing after him.


The feeling from the beginning of marriage, the ordeal of our love has come a long time. Our love life is like a curse.


"I tried to dampen the jealousy in my heart, preferring silence rather than fussing over problems that would instead trigger a quarrel between us.


"Sir..have you slept? I pretended to close my eyes, I was lazy to talk about it."


I feel Sofwan sitting on the edge of the bed. Wrap my hair lovingly.


"Excuse me mas ya dek.perience since married to a mas, you are not happy-happy. Until you lose the house you are today and the curse of my brothers."


"But happy mas can marry a good and wise woman like you."


"If you only look physically, there are many beautiful women out there, but when viewed from the side of gentleness and patience then you are the one."


"The wife who never speaks and demands much, the wife who is faithful and always in joy and sorrow."


My chest rumbled withstanding a feeling that I myself could not express. My handsome husband, the husband who once turned out to be a struggle for women, who in the end willing to drop his life choices to me, a woman who is far from ordinary.


I often asked him what attracted him to love me and eventually marry me. By age I was 4 years adrift on it, I was not beautiful, I was not rich and maybe I was also a stupid woman as my sisters-in-law often say, even my own brother said I was an old-fashioned and stupid woman.


The answer is simple..." I love you first because of God, I don't look at you physically or financially."


"I don't see you with just my eyes, but I see you with my heart.with my feelings.so never again do you ask, why do I love you."


"I hope that you will stay with me until death do us part.Surely my wife...because I know this is where I come back...!"


I felt a drop of clear water fall on my forehead. My husband shed his tears, without him knowing I was listening to all his outpouring.


Then he picked up a pillow and chose to sleep in front of the television, maybe he didn't want to disturb the eight of my sleep and Dina.

"Sir.ka some days mas will be overtime, replace friends who are on leave."


"So we'll be home tonight for a few days."


"But mas also must take care of health yes.because the morning met the night continues to enter the morning again.later mas even sick..." I said while putting food in his bag.


"Yes my dear wife.well you and Dina at home yes.mas go first...Assalamualaikum..."


"Waalaikum hail.I kissed the back of his hand and waved at the door to escort him away."


"The love of Sofwan.he knew our needs grew as we contracted this house, he had to work harder to make enough of our lives."


After Sofwan died, I walked around the house. I saw that there were some huts and some distance from my contract, there was like a warehouse with red bricks that might have been dried and ready to burn.


I walked while holding Dina. I approached a mother who was printing red bricks and her husband who was drying bricks out to be exposed to the heat of the sun.


"Good morning ma'am..."


"Magi mbak..eh mbak this is the one who contracted at the end of the house?"


"Yes ma'am.mau take a walk.all want to see his mother work who knows can try also to increase income."


"Yes mbak..today any work that is important halal, try to do it."


"Father you know his work is only a security in the factory.the guard is special at night so morning can help mom a little here. Because if our brick molds are full, usually those who have business or men who dry out."


"His father lied the muddy fathers make mud dough to be used as red brick...."


"Our job is that women only print them."


"How do I count it, ma'am, I'm more and more interested in hearing her mother's story."


"If we could print 1,000 bricks, then a hundred storms would be the wages we get."


"If mother...could produce 1000 bricks how many days ma'am?"


"About two daily mbak.the work of the mother is slow.new to the child and home also."


"I think that includes a quick ma'am.don't get 500 seeds a day, 100 seeds are hard if still a beginner kayak me."


"There's nothing difficult about learning." his mother smiled at me.


It was from her that I slowly learned to make red bricks. When Sofwan mas has left for work, I also after completing homework go directly to the place where the mother who later I know her name is Sri's mother.


It is not easy, but as Sri's mother said, if there is a willingness to learn it can certainly be, whatever it is.

"You're overtime again Wan? I looked at Anto who greeted me.


"Jaga health bro.later if your own pain is a loss."


"God willing I can To, in less than two days this is done."


"My expenditure increased to, since we contracted the house, so it's normal that 5 days multiplied by 200 thousand I can get a million."


"As long as you can take care of the health of Wan.don't get sick.I go home first Wan..."


"There are still less than 2 days left, you are still strong ajakah Wan?" Feby.


"God willing Feb..."


"Yes I'm going to work again yeah." I left Feby still looking at me.


Now I need to be able to keep my distance from any woman. Poor Sania.I am here to work for a living for the family.


"Wan.a pat on my shoulder surprised me."


"Oh Kiki's mom..Is there anything I can help mom?"


"If it's just the two of us.have very formal language, Wan!"


"While I have to respect, this is still a position in the work environment, ma'am..."


""As far as you are.Since I have also never won a mouth debate with you, Wan..." Kiki's mother smiled.


"Wan.I was sent a message with Vivi.he said that already three days your phone number is not active.always out of reach if on the phone."


I took a deep breath hearing it. I did deliberately not activate my number because I knew for sure Vivi would call on.


When I had the heart to see Sania who was always moody, hearing Vivi's voice calling continuously.


I told Kiki my problem and Vivi's. And about Vivi who called didn't know the time even though it was at home and there was even Nia.


"Yes, too, Wan. Lucky to get your wife who is patient, if I hit what I did not have to pick up a fire beard if my husband on the phone other woman in front of my eyes."


"Well that you know too.that's why I have to keep my wife's feelings, Ki."


"Try to give understanding to Vivi, you two will be right."


"Yes already...Wan...later I try to give understanding to him, yes you are aja maklumin, Vivi is a bit spoiled that all-all her will must be obeyed." Thank you, dear Kiki's mother..." My smile expands...


"Eat him do not smile too much Wan.later many more women can fall in love with you..."


"Including you? I laugh and go away."


"Yes Wan..including me..kuh have never changed from the past until now remain cute remain cute...mantra what the hell do you have, so your charm is amazing like this?"
