THE OWNER OF THE HEART ROOM
13

Nawang took his son's body into his lap.

The little man was full of harrums.

Even though he was a boy and a boy, his son was very emotional.

"Who said you were naughty? You are the kindest and most patient mother. Thank you, son, you never fuss." said Nawang then peeked chubby Bintang.

There was relief on that innocent face.

"But how do you like crying?" ask the Star while stroking Nawang's cheek.

Nawang's heart flinched.

Did the stars ever see him cry?

"When did Mom cry?" asked Nawang pura-pura in shock.

"I often see Mom crying alone in the kitchen. Wh why? Bad dad huh?" ask the stars again.

"Mother if the tears come out in the kitchen is not sad, but because his eyes are onion or smoked with cooking." lied Nawang.

"Mom does it cook every day, but not every day?" chase Stars.

Nawang almost died a flea with that question.

He didn't expect the Stars to be able to analyze that fast.

"The spice is different when cooking. So there are those who can make a cry, there are also those who do not." kelit Nawang finally.

"Mother also likes to cry when looking at soap operas" said the half-stellar mocking.

Nawang chuckles.

"Yes. Love pity anyway." said Nawang with a shy smile.

"Mom....Do you have any savings?" ask the stars later.

Nawang back to silence.

What a question that hurts his heart.

Why the savings?" tanya Nawang astonished.

Don't-don't Star also likes to hear that his father is talking about him who can't mourn?

"So Dika story has run out with his mother to the bank for a tube. She said her mother was paying for her school fees tomorrow. And Aldo also told the story once invited his father to take money in a box that can come out his own money if we push the buttons. Said his father Aldo, we can take money like that if we have savings in the bank. You have no savings, Mom?" ask the stars again.

Nawang felt like crying shock right then and there.

God, when can I make my son proud of my life?

Nawang took a deep breath to calm his heart and sought a diplomatic answer to the Star's question.

This time he really did not want to look weak and poor in front of his son.

She was ashamed and felt so helpless.

"We're not his nameless nam at the bank. Our sustenance is kept with God, so it is safer." replied Nawang finally.

"It's not safe at the bank, is it, Mom?" ask Stars.

"In the bank it's safe too, but it can still be stolen. If it is simply the same as God, obviously no one can steal it." replied Nawang while kneading his forehead slowly.

It is certain that this conversation will be a long story.

A star is a kid who loves to find out about everything.

He will keep asking if he is not satisfied with an answer.

"What do we ask God if we need it?" ask the confused star.

"To ask him how to work really. God will ask our boss to help give our fortune" said Nawang.

"That's called windfall, ma'am. It wasn't a savings." the Star protested after thinking for a moment.

The glitter in the heart.

Hadyeeeeh, make a mumet this boy.

"Savings are a windfall too, I amaaang." replied Nawang angrily.

"Open. Savings is a fortune that we set aside for us to save for the future" said Bintang in an anxious tone.

Nawang laughed looking at the star's anxious face.

"This mother's son. I've entered the house." invite Nawang deliberately run from the next conversation.

"You don't have to think about savings. The important thing is that we are healthy and if there is any need for what we have windfall." replied Nawang finally.

An answer that also prayed.

Let alone savings, to be able to eat enough and do not have debt every month he must be really smart brain-twisting.

Maybe if her husband's salary was handed over to her and managed, she could save even if only a few hundred thousand a month.

But in reality her husband only gave half his salary even sometimes less than half of which the rest of the salary was never Nawang know the running address.

Nawang again felt tightness in his chest.

How long will she go through a painful household like this?

He had never felt the inner calm since he was married.

Her husband was never gentle with her.

Not fulfilling all his needs.

She felt the kindness of her husband when dating used to evaporate after Ijab kabul said.

Mas Dani her husband became a cold man and did not care about their household.

Nawang repeatedly complained about Dani's attitude, but only getting a reply to the clash that immediately made Nawang helpless and chose not to talk about it anymore.

It was not that he finally accepted, he simply did not want to be injured with the snaps that might be given to him again.

To have a good conversation with Dani was very difficult.

"You are not grateful to be a person. Do you have money from your own salary, I also give you, still less so? No need to be wasteful to be a woman" the words always appear every Nawang invite to talk about the crampedness of their economy.

What came out of her husband's mouth were just such words.

And that was enough to rip apart the feelings of the Nawang woman.

He used to be so irritated by her husband's behavior, all the salary money and even his salary slip when he left it to her husband.

"It's my pay a month and the slip. I leave all the same to you, please use it to meet all the needs of our household for a month. If you are number, count how many. I only ask for a hundred thousand for me to buy gasoline a month and make sure that the tires leak" said Nawang while as much as possible to dampen his anger.

Dani looks surprised.

He grabbed the slip and looked nominally at the very bottom.

"Your paycheck's just this? You are the head of logistics" Dani said with a look of disbelief.

"Keep you think it's a fake slip? I made it myself? There is a company stamp. In my place of work is not a big allowance for his office" said Nawang began to ignite emotions.

It felt like the non-jok man in front of him was.

"This is my money that holds all? If you want to go shopping, then?" ask Dani later.

"I'm not going shopping. I just cook, clean house, work. That's aja. Your money is all hold, you are shopping dong." replied Nawang lightly.

"Enak. Shopping is a woman's job." elak Dani.

"Keep the duty of men what?" ask Nawang.

"Work." replied Dani proudly.

"I also work." sergeant Nawang.

"If I can work like you, why don't you go shopping like me? You're tired of work, I'm tired of work too." lick Nawang.

Dani's face had started to turn cloudy.

He doesn't like situations like this.

"Udah, usually. No need to make new habits" Dani said at last in a soft voice.

"I don't want to. You try a month, you shop with my salary plus the money you usually give me. I want to know how many hundreds of thousands you can save" said Nawang defiantly.

Dani returned Nawang's cold gaze to her.

He knew his wife was holding back anger.

And he chose to leave his seat without a word.

Leaving Nawang's salary money on the table just like that.

Leaving Nawang back with a tightness in his chest.
