The Thorny Journey

The Thorny Journey
Bambang and Eni


Yana is still thinking about what reasons should be told to Mas Bambang later if he wants to stop working at his stall, Yana is used to working in Bambang mas stall, Bambang, mas Bambang is a good and caring boss, his wife is not polite, too arrogant as a boss.


"That's Abah.I think first Abah, I also do not know what reason to stop working there, I also do not know what reason to stop working there, if in hindsight also the same Mas Bambang who had to work without anyone helping him" explained Yana to her Abah.


"Pity yourself first, then pity others, even when you want to spell with the Bambang, what else remember his wife, he said, listen to you tell me the story of Abah the Setters the Eninya." Abah's anger is seen in Eni, Abah often heard from the story of his wife Mak Yana, Mak Yana he himself told Maknya.


By riding his motorbike Yana left for work, Yana's children had already sent her first to go to school, Abah, in the stalls Yana work as usual from starting to sweep the entire space in the stall with a clean continue to arrange the dishes and tool sales until the cleaning of the chicken and also tidying up the shelves of sales, and also tidying up the shelves, yana does everything herself.


In the afternoon so scorching Yana sat on the front bench while eating lunch, side dish lunch Yana a piece of chicken and also vegetable complementary rice, do not forget Yana always make warm tea to drink it, Yana who sat facing the road, could clearly see every passing vehicle in front of him, Eni his wife mas Bambang also happened to sit lunch on the bench in the back row Yana, Yana, facing the street, Eni also eats lunch with her child, accidentally dropping a glass of tissue on each table, the tissue that had been folded and arranged in a glass by Yana accidentally touched Eni's elbow, Yana had a glance at Eni behind where the tissue had been scattered on the floor, Yana had glanced at Eni, Eni even like nothing happened, he was still relaxed without turning to the tissue scattered on the floor.


"Eh Mpok Neng why did the tissue spill all this? why not in the first quote Mpok Neng." reprimanded mas Bambang when passing in front of Yana and Eni.


Eni was still acting indifferent while bribing her child to eat, Yana also again had lunch with Eni on a separate bench.


"It's not me for Mas, it's Eni who made it." said Yana defended herself, Yana did not accept it in the wrong, because it was not Yana who made the tissue fall.


"Whatever who makes it, Mpok Neng will work here, so Mpok Neng should quote the tissue" heartache Yana heard mas Bambang defend his wife, he said, supposed to be a good boss and employer should not mas Bambang low Yana like that.


"I think Eni made it, so she herself did it Mas" said Yana again, the remaining rice in her plate directly on the side, no more appetite to eat.


"Please say it's not Eni who made it, consider it my son who made it, so Mpok Neng must first quote the tissue on the floor." mas Bambang's speech made Yana sad, so Mpok, yana's tears had fallen, but not to her cheeks but to her heart, so low as to be a human's babu.


With Yana sparingly quoting the tissue scattering on the floor, Yana could see Eni occasionally glancing a smile towards Yana, Yana knew as the employee had to obey the boss's orders, but instead of being babu for his wife and children, before this has been treated many times Yana was less adab, ever Eni eat rice on the table, rice that he ate spilled scattering, so on, casually Eni went by leaving a dirty plate on the table.


"Look Neng I'm going out first huh?" as usual mas Bambang every afternoon will walk with his son and wife, a stall full of customers Yana alone take care of it.


"Mas Bambang habit, if I talk always just disappear." muttered Yana herself as her hands continued to scratch the chicken in the cauldron.


The afternoon passed so quickly, the customer who queued this afternoon was now gone, magrib will come soon, mas Bambang has not appeared again until now, but, though Yana has told mas Bambang not to be slow to go home.


In-house..


"Where has Mak come home..kok slow time home today?" asked Abah pas glanced at the clock on the wall was approaching the time of magrib, usually Yana will go home for a while to bathe and perform magrib prayers.


"Not yet to go home Abah.Maybe soon he came home." said Mak Yana just took the heart of an Abah who was worried about the state of his son.


"Abah told Yana to stop working at Bambang's shop, but Yana remained stubborn" Abah told his wife, Abah pityes the fate of Yana from starting to marry Faizal until now Yana's life has always suffered.


"Where can stop work just like that Abah.There must be a reason for donk." continued Mak who sat casually on the porch of the house, in the afternoon next day Yana's house is crowded with people passing by to the market, a sub-district that has several villages must pass the road in front of Yana's house to go to the city center.


"Yana it is a stubborn man.Di divorced just as Faizal can still be calm." babbling Abah Yana increasingly become.


"What does it want? want Yana screaming, begging Faizal not to divorce her so." Abah and Mak Yana get into a big fight because they defend their own ego.


Suddenly the sound of azan magrib reverberating everywhere continued to connect unpretentiously between one village to another village, he said, Mak and Abah Yana-oun were silent at once hearing the voice of the azaan that had reached the village musalla, Abah Yana Gegas woke up preparing to go to musalla to pray with other residents in mushalla not far from his home.


Allah hu Akbar allah hu Akbar....


"After, come in.had prayed magrib ni, want to fight tomorrow we continue again." said Mak Yana while rising from her seat with her husband earlier.
