The Thorny Journey

The Thorny Journey
Abah is home


Abah's motorbike is getting more and more invisible, Abah is far away from the yard of Yana's house, Yana stared at the departure of her Abah, very eager to follow her Abah home, Yana, but Yana still has responsibility for her work.


Today Yana's children as usual will live in her Tantenya house, after sending in the youngest to school Yana continues her journey to work.


"Well Neng there's good news today, Mpok Neng wants to hear no?" Eni is deliberately waiting for Yana in front of the stall.


Whether what wind blows into Eni's body, suddenly Eni today is being nice with Yana, Yana just thought Eni had changed.


"What news is Eni?" sahut Yana was short while rejecting the standard of his motor with his right foot.


Yana was actually very lazy to talk to Eni, because she was the boss Yana was forced to as if nothing had ever happened between them.


"From tomorrow there will be new employees who enter work here, Mpok Neng can relax tomorrow, there are already friends who will help Mpok Neng's work, but Mpok Neng's salary must be cut?" said Eni while smiling cleftly.


"Well, how in my pay cut Eni..deally who told people to help me?" Yana already felt that something was wrong with Eni.


"Yes, this is Mpok Neng! if there is a new employee who is good Mpok Neng, so Mpok Neng's salary is cut." said Eni again while passing into the house.


Without caring for Yana's answer, Eni just went into the stall, Yana was busy sweeping the stall floor and also the stall. While Mas Bambang is still behind the cleaning


chicken and fish to sell.


While sweeping Yana continued to talk to herself, her mouth unceasingly moving, Yana was still in disbelief about the matter of cutting pay, whereas Yana herself had never asked for it so.


"If it is ready in front, Mpok Neng can go behind ya....behind there are many more work." said mas Bambang to Yana who still cut tempe in the back.


Yana nodded in agreement with her boss's words earlier, sometimes Yana also felt bored every day having to do the same work, Yana also wanted to be like other housewives, too, sitting at home waiting for her husband to come home, but Yana's destiny is unlike anyone else's.


nightfall...


Yana continued to wash dirty dishes and cooking utensils, the sound of thunder clapping in the sky, sometimes there was lightning striking the ceiling that had changed dark, and sometimes there was lightning, a sign that soon it will rain.


Yana keeps washing dishes fast, she wants to be ready before it rains, she wants to go home tonight, tonight no one will keep her kids at home, considering that Mak Yana was no longer by his side like the nights yesterday.


"Mas Bambang, will I just be holy? this heavy rain." said Yana showed the rain had fallen rapidly.


"Eh, don't be spoiled! can really wash the dishes, the rain a little already bother, would not be wet if not washed now." said Eni still equally not like Yana.


Yana's hands continued to move to wash the dishes, while the condition that was still in the rain made Yana's body all wet, the rain that fell along with the tears of Yana who fell soaked her cheeks, and the rain that fell down, Eni and mas Bambang still feel good chatting empty on the front bench of the stall.


"Mas... are you ready?" yana said while standing with her whole body wet in the rain.


"I told you not to wash first, Mpok Neng did not hear, if I'm the hard one, if Mpok Neng is sick how?" kesel Mas Bambang on Eni.


Earlier Mas Bambang did not allow Mpok Neng to wash dishes, the bathroom that is not roofed will definitely make Yana wet in the rain, tomorrow Yana must have a fever, if Yana has a fever, of course she has a work holiday, Mas Bambang is also tired of working alone, but Eni still told Yana to do the dishes.


"Alah...wet little, after all if Mpok Neng did not wash the dishes tonight who washed? I don't want to." said Eni again to her husband.


Yana still stands waiting for the salary of Mas Bambang, Eni and her husband continue to not want to budge, each maintaining his own ego.


"Mas! I'll go home first, okay?" Yana repeated her words again.


"Yes already! tomorrow don't forget to go to work again Mpok Neng." Mas Bambang still hope that Yana is not okay.


Yana's hand continued to pick up the rice package that Mas Bambang had prepared for Yana, with her shivering body forcing her steps towards the motor park. Before passing Yana had turned to Eni and Mas Bambang while giving a smile, Yana's heart ached at being treated like this by Eni, she considered Yana to be nothing more than a babu.


"Kok wet all Yana, the feeling of not raining deh." said Aunt Yana pas looking outwards that does not show rain.


"It was raining Auntie, it just stopped." said Yana who did not want her Tante to know the real incident happened to Yana.


Aunty approaches Yana while touching Yana's body, from top to bottom all wet, nothing is not wet, as if Yana was accidentally showering rain.


"But the wet is so bad, huh? like you deliberately shower rain." said Aunt Yana again who did not believe the words of her nephew.


"Aunty, do not discuss it again, I want to go home first, want to take a bath, afraid of fever again" said Yana while entering her Aunt's house.


Azham and Hafiz who had fallen asleep were startled by Yana, with their sleepy eyes trailing Uminya, Yana holding Hafiz while Azham Yana held her hand.


Since dawn Yana has prepared all the needs and needs of her child to school, today Yana has to do it herself, it has been a long time Mak Yana here, Yana just woke up to take a bath and continued to work, the affairs of the house and the children were all helped by his mother, today the task was back Yana did.


As soon as he got to work, Yana saw that someone else had been doing his job all along.


"Who is it?" tanya asked herself, her eyes constantly staring at the figure of someone who was foreign to Yana, the figure continued to sweep the stall and do all the work of Yana.


"Eh Mpok Neng! why didn't you come in?
