The Two Hearts
NEIGHBORLY TALK
The night is late. The clock shows at 23:00. But until this late Arya still did not return home. Ratna who began to feel hungry finally ate first, after finishing putting her little daughter Zea who is now three years old.
Rahma rushed from her bed, then walked out of the room. He checks the clock on his phone. Ensure the most accurate time now.
"Oh Allah, it's already at this hour why Arya has not come home yet. No phone calls repeatedly not picked up. Not chat many times is also not reciprocated. Where the hell are you. May nothing happen to the husband of the servant O Allah." murmured Rahma softly.
After finishing eating suddenly heard the sound of Arya motorbike stopping at the door of the house.
Tok, Tok, Tok
"Assalamu'alaikum." Arya's voice came from behind the front door.
Rahma, who heard her husband's voice, rushed to the door.
Chequelek
"Wa'alaikum salam. Hey, how'd you get home till this hour?" rahma asked, peeping at the back of her husband's hand, and carrying her husband's briefcase.
"Yes, Honey. Excuse me. There was a new employee, a schoolmate when Mas was still in elementary school. So, we can make coffee first." explained Arya while opening her shoes and socks.
"Oh, yes, my. Next time please confirm. Let me not worry. Mas, no chat not reciprocated. No phone not picked up. So I thought, I'm afraid I'm doing something."
"Yes, sorry, honey. Zea's asleep?"
"Already, Mas. Please eat first."
"Have you eaten?" arya asked as she walked towards the dining room.
"Already, Mas. Sorry I ate first because I was hungry. I wanted to eat together, but because I waited for Mas not to come home until eleven, hungry hunt deh." explained Rahma.
"Yes, eat first. After this, I took a shower and went to sleep. You sleep first nemenin Zea. Later, I'll be followed."
"Yes, Mum." Then Rahma walked to the room.

The morning has turned. Residents were seen passing by on the rural road ahead of Rahma and Arya's contract.
"Again, Ra." say hello to Rini's neighbor Rahma who was riding a motorcycle.
"Morning, Miss Rini." replied Rahma who was busy sweeping the courtyard of the house.
"Sayur .. , vegetable ... ." There was the sound of Siti greengrocer.
"Bu Siti, buy the vegetables." call Rahma.
When bu Siti stops and parked her bike, Arya suddenly comes out of the house on her bike with Zea.
"Honey, I left first, yes" said Arya while handing Zea to Rahma.
"Yes, Mas. Be careful." Then she held Zea and kissed the back of her husband's hand.
"Papa, go first. Zea at home don't be naughty. Eat it regularly dear." said Arya while peeping Zea and Rahma's forehead.
"Yes, Papa. Be careful." replied Zea with a spoiled smile.
After Arya passed, Rahma then approached Siti's mother. "Mom, the chicken's half a kilo."
"Yes, Ra." Then consider the chicken for Rahma.
"Eh, Ra. How come you weren't with your mother-in-law yesterday? Are you not invited?" ask Bu Neni next door neighbor to rent Mama Anti.
"Hehehe no, Mom. Kan, I'm momong Zea at home. Hot like this pity Zea when invited hot.
"It's okay, Ra. You go out with your in-laws and your brother-in-law." Sahut bu Siti vegetable seller.
"Don't you know Ra, if yesterday they went all the way to the market?" chirps atun Rahma's neighbor.
"Are you the one who doesn't want to be invited, Ra? Your in-laws said yesterday that you don't want to go shopping at the market. I want to go shopping to the mall. In addition, you like to eat resto. And very wasteful monthly expenditure for treatment at an expensive beauty clinic. Is that right, Ra?" ask Bu Neni.
"Mom Anti could have said that about you, Ra. If I were you, it wouldn't have gone to your husband. Or if you need to ask your in-laws directly what does it mean to talk to the neighbors. I know this Rahma has never been anywhere. She only goes out of the house with her husband if there is an important need. Every day the job he just takes care of the house and momong Zea. Kan, I'm his neighbor so understand what Rahma's daily activities are like." explained Ms. Atun.
"Bu Siti, this is my groceries. Sorry my mothers first. There are still a lot of homework I have not done. Excuse me ladies." Then Rahma immediately walked towards the house.
"You like to pump people. There should be no need to convey what Anti ma'am said to Rahma. He must have offended that. If it's like this can runyam and make trouble because of your talk." chirped bu Siti.
"You anyway. Uh, you started first." Mothers' voices accuse each other.

After replying to the chat from her mother, Arya's facial expression changed instantly.
Dery who noticed the change of his friend then poked Arya's arm. "Heh, why are you? After opening HP kok suddenly chaotic so your face, why?"
"Next no story, Der"
Along the way back to the office, Dery and Arya tell each other about the problems they face. Until arriving at a discussion about what the contents of the chat Arya read earlier, so that makes Arya look restless.
"Chat who it was, Ar. How come you suddenly look so agitated?"
"From my mama, Der."
"Lho, this is a strange person. After reading the chat from his mama instead of seneng but even his face shoots hahaha." ledek Dery.
"Bring me up, Der. Mama asked for another transfer. I have not paid payday. This month's salary is not much. My wife just doesn't love a million."
"Huh. You're nothing, Ar. Can't be so to the wife. You are more obligated to support your wife's child than your parents. Should have given more wives. Because there is your son who still has a long future. At least, if you give to your wife more, it can be saved for the cost of your child's education. If there's any rest, love your parents enough."
"See, Der. I'm so lazy to make a fuss with my mom."
"So, would you rather make a fuss with your wife? Ar, the logical one is to be a person. A month to spend on daily necessities, electricity, water, internet quota, milk and diapers for your child, not to mention paying for rent. That's enough, Ar. Your wife also needs to buy beauty products to take care of herself, needs to buy makeup, and clothes for her and your child. Aren't you ashamed of your in-laws if they know now that their son is so cute and dirty? He's a rich kid, Ar."
"I'm gonna pay next month, Der. Than the same storm mama." explained Arya.
