"Do you know? our son needs attention! need charge! you are rich in gini!!!" I screamed loudly when I found my husband coming home with the smell of drinks from his mouth.

"You don't have to take it! Here, I brought a lot of money!" the man threw some money on the table.

I stared at the money that was scattered about, where could he get this much money? what's he doing out there? my inner.

"You're gambling? where did you get this money? I don't want you to make money with illegal money!" My fists looked at him in disgust.

"Basic wife doesn't know herself! not grateful for a lot of talk!" My husband threw his alcohol-smelling jacket at me and then his body disappeared behind the door.

I'm afraid, I don't want to cry. I'm tired of ending this fight with crying, again and again...

Suddenly Andi came and hugged me, that's where my tears broke! I'm not strong anymore.I want to end it all immediately.

"Andiii.... " I whimper withstanding the tightness of the chest. I woke up with a face in sweat. I dream.

It was a terrible dream for me. I saw the clock showing at 5 a.m. I opened the blanket and headed to the bathroom.

•••

This morning I left with a feeling of relief, especially after seeing Andi wearing Sandy gold shoes that turned out to be very fitting on her legs. Relieved that I finally no longer need to feel guilty for having to disappoint Andi every time he asked me to buy shoes and I always did not have time for that.

This time I have to thank Sandy mas. thanks to him Andi can go to school with enthusiasm. let alone he just keep talking about the shoes. I smiled thinly on my daydream.

"Hey lis, how are you?" find someone to surprise me. I stared at her for a long time, looking at this beautiful woman in front of me. she sat right opposite me. It just so happened that the public transportation we were riding was quite quiet.

"Love? you're riding an angkot too?" My heart after knowing full well she was my friend Sinta when I worked in the factory first.

"Where are you going?" ask Sinta curiously.

"I want to work. You alone?!" much

"I also want to work, usually my boyfriend who picks up anyway! but earlier, he said there was an impromptu meeting.so can not pick up." he replied enthusiastically.

I smiled faintly, hearing how he told me about his girlfriend who might be a top officer of the company.

"Oh yes, in a row grieving well for the death of your husband.I just hearder loh from our friend Abdul." Sinta rubbed my hands gently.

"Yes, thank you."

"Sorry, may I know. said your husband died because of an accident? she still likes to get drunk, right?" tanyanya whispered.

I looked forward, hoping the other passengers would not hear it.

"That's how it is," I answered briefly with a smile that I slightly forced. Sinta certainly realized my expression that seemed not to want to discuss about it.

"So, do you have a new father for Andi?!" ask again.

I can smile again, sometimes the curiosity makes me a little annoyed and I hope to arrive at work soon so I can avoid every question.

"It's also true, he's afraid even worse.Is it not?" his chirps made me instantly raise a dislike gaze.

"Yes, there must be trauma!" the error again. seemed to feel bad to see my attitude just now.

"Eh sin, I'm first yah!" pamitku hurry. Sinta who looked surprised because she saw me rush down from the car to make her shake.

"Eh, uh.. Eyebrows. We talk again sometime? i'm calling!" He was half screaming. I just smile without saying yes, lazy if I have to hear every word that always makes me sore ears. I am not a perfect woman who can take every talk of people for granted.I can also feel careless and emotional if constantly faced with people like Sinta.

I sighed heavily through the courtyard of the house, even though I was not aware that Mr. Revelation rebuked me repeatedly.

"Well, the neng keeps daydreaming.until I say no see!" The trigger surprised me.

"Huh?! mr Revelation asked me?" I walk with a confused look.

"Yes already, do not need to discuss. please enter neng Alis. happy work!" Smile with forced smile.

I grinned shyly and rushed into the kitchen, but strangely I didn't see bi Marni in the kitchen. Or maybe she was in Sandy's mas room? I saw the wall clock.

"Still 7 o'clock less. where's bi Marni?" I muttered as I stepped forward towards the dining room.

Looks quiet, but the food on the table looks ready.there are many food menus and not as usual. are there guests staying? my thinking.

I went to the living room, there was a long enough hallway that I had to pass through to get there.Both sides there was the main room and three guest rooms.but my steps stopped for a moment, but my steps stopped,I heard two people talking quietly from inside the room whose door was slightly open. I stood behind the walls of the room, heard a man laughing followed by a woman's voice that sounded very friendly.

I didn't dare to peek, just hearing his voice made my heart beat. Did I not hear wrong? slowly but surely I listened carefully to the voice and it turned out to be true, it was Ayu's voice. But with whom? my head was thinking with hearing focused on the noise in the room.

"Lise!!!" Someone patted me firmly on the shoulder. made me jump in shock and shut my mouth. I glared at Bi Marni, She could have surprised me like that.

"Come here!" the whisper pulled my hand violently.we ran towards the kitchen.I gasped for my surprise. While bi Marni was busy paying attention around the room.

"What are you doing?" his insistence.

"Nyari bi Marni, but really. Is Ayu's mom there?" manya curious.

"Srsttt! don't be noisy, what did you just see? or hear what?" inquiringly.

"Denger nothing bi, just surprised the door open. there continue to be a male voice.who the hell bi?" I talk like I see nothing.

"Thankfully you didn't see anything. aunt doesn't know either. This is only the first time Bu Ayu came home with a man. Maybe his girlfriend.but Bu Ayu said he was his co-worker in the office." obviously Bi Marni who was like suspicious of the man earlier.

"Workers? maybe even bi." My real answer is also not sure.

"Biiii... Aunt, please bring me coffee?!" call later.

Me and Bi Marni threw each other a glance.

"You can't, help aunty. It just so happens that aunt hasn't taken the laundry in the back!" her door.

I grinned confusedly but couldn't resist. Immediately I make a cup of coffee and drive it to the dining table.
