The Thorny Journey

The Thorny Journey
Yana stopped working


"That's easy, brother Eni must help me." replied Mira as she narrowed her eyes at Yana who had been emotional since.


The kitchen that can be said to have limited space makes Yana and Mira as adhesives.


"Yes I forgot, you're Eni's sister huh?" yana said as if insinuating Mira.


Mira who did not understand how much Yana said also agreed with what Yana said to her, after Mas Bambang and Eni disappeared from their sight, they also worked with the unpleasant feelings of their own neighbors.


Her night...


"Pok Neng's getting in early tomorrow huh?" said Mas Bambang when Yana permission to leave home.


Yana replies with a smile engraved on her lips, Yana is still heavy leaving Mas Bambang but Eni's actions on Yana are shadowed in her eye sockets, how Eni threw the trash over Yana's head when Yana was washing the dishes, how when Eni told Yana to wash the dishes when it was raining heavily, how Yana accidentally nudged the tissue glass, and how she was doing the dishes, until the tissue fell to the floor, Yana who was eating lunch was forced to quote the tissue, with forced Yana to stop her eating activities, how could Yana deliberately leave the dirty dishes after she had eaten, how could Yana deliberately leave the dirty dishes after she had eaten, eni had to clean it up.


"Eh Mpok Neng... why daydream, asked why not answer?" Yana jerks as Mas Bambang bulldozes her with a washcloth that is in the estate.


"Iya-iya tomorrow I enter." said Yana while taking her crackle ration from the hands of Mas Bambang.


Yana every day will be given a portion of rice ration with two pieces of chicken, sometimes Yana get more chicken than Mas Bambang.


While Mira is so happy today, she only works as an onion but can get a decent salary, if every day like this how happy Mira's heart.


"Tomorrow don't forget to come sooner?" Mas Bambang turned to Mira who was still standing beside Eni.


"Surely, tomorrow I will come even faster." he said as he passed away from the direction of the stall.


After their return Mas Bambang pulled the door of the stall, today their sales are selling well, they can rest faster than usual.


At the house Yana continued to open the bag of crackle that was brought home earlier, Yana looking for the contents of the sweat today, Yana, when the bag of crackles was opened how shocked Yana was When she knew her salary today was much lower than the previous days, Yana thought Eni's talk yesterday was not as bad as she thought.


"This is not only half, but a lot of lack, all the work I do all, which can be given a salary like this." lirih Yana herself while looking in her palm was just a green colored piece of money.


On the broom of tears that flowed on her cheeks, from tonight Yana was determined to catch up with her Abah, Yana would stop working in the stall, she said, Yana has been working for years but because of a new employee who can take the heart of his wife, what Yana has made so far is lost by a blink of an eye.


Tomorrow morning Yana is not as usual who is busy preparing all the needs of her children to school, Yana is still lazing in her bed, Azham who is strange to see Uminya's attitude is approaching.


"Umi did not work today...Umi's sick, huh?" asked Azham who was curious about Uminya's behavior today.


"Umi is healthy, Umi deliberately took off today, occasionally releasing tired" Yana said again to her son, Yana did not want until her son thought that was not.


Azham who did not want to force straight tidying up the school clothes he had worn, while Hafiz was still sleeping in the room.


"I go first, Umi." said Azham, wearing a bag on his back.


"Yes son... Be careful on the road huh?


"Yes Umi, Assalamualaikum?" said Azham who was sitting on his bike bench.


Azham continued to leave the yard of his house, Yana who was still at home did not press the clock that had already shown at nine in the morning, this hour that should Yana go to work.


Outside the house the voice of Aunt Yana shouted as loudly as possible to call Yana's name from outside the house, Yana did not know what made her Tantenya able to act as determinedly as possible.


"Why don't you go to the stall today, are you still sleeping inside?" aunty Yana shouted from behind the door.


Yana, who had not yet heard the call of Tantenya, had to get up from the bed to the front door of her house, Yana's body tired from the rain last night was forced to walk to the door.


Klekkk.....


The door of the house is opened with the face of Aunt Yana who was full of astonishment to see Yana still at home at this hour, what else to see the state of Yana who was tangled, growing curious Aunt Yana to him.


"You Why the hell is Yana..you have a fever?" aunty Yana asked while watching her nephew's behavior.


All this time Yana never lazy if working, aja tidka holiday ever, what else if Yana wants to quit work, it must be something that Yana could not do, because Aunt Yana knows, because, she needs money to support her two children who need fees to go to school, Yana does not want to charge her parents, just enough that Yana burdened her parents all this time, don't let your child do the same to their parents.


"Not ah Aunt, I'm fine, just now again lazy, maybe my body has long ngak rest so now again need rest." yana said as she passed moving into her house.


"Let's get Auntie!" said Yana again who was in the living room of her house.


Yana deliberately did not tell her Tantenya about her plan that would stop working, Yana did not want to news later quickly spread before Yana gave certainty first to Mas Bambang, who was not interested in the news, little Yana's son is off school today, because Yana herself is lazy to come out today, Yana is afraid to meet her boss at the market where her boss is shopping.


"Have you eaten Yana?" ask the Tantenya who is attentive to Yana, Aunt Yana pity for the fate of her nephew, only her Tantenya can not help more, because she oun people who do not have.


"Aunty, I just ate, the leftover side dish I brought home from the stall last night" Yana told Tante.


"Is it okay for you to take this holiday?" ask her aunt again.
