TRUE LOVE For MAYA
ROTTEN SALTED FISH

Unlike her usual days, Maya has to increase her working hours today, she has to prepare some uniform clothes for the wedding of a big businessman. Tomorrow he must join Aunt Rossa to a luxurious house in an elite area in the middle of the capital.

The bride-to-be and the whole family ask to do a fitting of clothes to be done at his residence because the groom does not allow his woman out of the house. All Maya has been prepared and put in plastic as a wrapper and hung with a hanger to hang it. In addition to clothes, some songket fabric that has been folded has been put in a large bag.

"May, is it done?" Aunt Rossa asked, making sure of it before she left the butiq.

"Aunty, tomorrow stay in the car."

"Don't until someone's left, May, you check again. Aunty went home first yes, Aunt has been picked up by the Father."

Can be seen clearly, the woman smiled happily when telling Maya that she had been picked up by the man who became her husband. Not many know that Aunt Rossa is a woman from Sutan Cjokro Hanunggara

"Yes, Auntie.."

"You when you're done come home, May.." Aunty Rossa gave a hundred thousand dollars in lieu of fees to Maya.

"Thank you Auntie.." Maya received it gratefully, to be honest the money supply in her wallet the remaining 20 thousand. At least, he can still connect the next two, three days until the payday date. With that piece of red paper, he could buy side dishes and vegetables.

Wearing a knit cardigan, Maya holds a small bag on her shoulder, getting ready to go home soon.. Outside, the air was already dark, the evening had already left noon for so long. Maya sees the clock on the wall of the room already showing at 9 p.m. It immediately descends downwards as the cloudy cloudy thick above the horizon, it must quickly get public transport before falling rainwater lands soaking up the still-dry ground.

"Maya's gang needs help?" the parking attendant whom Kang used to call therefore offered help when he saw Maya pushing the Rolling Door

"No need to Kang By.. Thanks."

Maya had already closed the iron door and locked it from the outside.

"Maya's gang alone?" Kang By asked again, when he did not see Dina's whereabouts

"Yes Kang... Dinah was home first this afternoon."

"Be careful Neng on the road, it looks like it's going to rain." Kang By pitched his head upwards looking at the increasingly pitch-black sky and the wind that was starting to tighten.

"Yes, Kang.. Maya first yes.."

With quick steps, Maya set foot through Raya Square to get to the side of the road. Rain spots had begun to drip on his head, the rain that was expected to be a little patient to wait for him to arrive home, seemed to have been unable to withstand the swift pace of rain.

With an instant the little speck turned into a rushing jubilation that soaked his clothes and head. To avoid rainwater, Maya walks on the edge of the outlets that are still open, some traders have started to close and tidy up their wares. Out of the row of shops, Maya had to run when the distance to get to the stop a few more steps, the sound of rain and lightning unpretentious to each other coloring the swift rain tonight.

Waving her cardigans exposed to rainwater, Maya clasped her hands together in front of her chest. Cold and strong winds pierced into the sidelines of his clothes and pore holes. In the dark dimness of the fog under the swift rain, Maya put her eyes up, pay attention to the passing transportation so as not to choose the wrong direction.

Maya had to be patient waiting for the angkot that had not yet appeared, either because of traffic jams or because of rain, the vehicle she was waiting for had not yet come. Fortunately, not only was she waiting for public transport, a mother and a man in her work uniform were also waiting together.

Maya can be a little relieved, at least she is not alone, there are friends at the stop who will certainly be safe from evil.

About 30 minutes, then from a distance can be seen spotlights from the vehicle in the future, the angkot stopped right in front of him.

Maya allows a mother to go up first, she chooses to go up later and get a seat on the side of the door.

A few meters away, the woman invites Maya to talk and ask.

"Neng just got home from work?"

"Yes Buk." Maya answered him with a friendly smile.

"I work at the butiq Buk.."

"Working hours till night huh, Neng?"

"No, usually at 5 o'clock.. It just so happens that today I am overtime."

"Ooo.." The woman seemed to think

"I'm sorry, before Neng, I didn't want to lower Neng's income.. But if Neng needs extra money, Neng can contact me. It just so happened that my employer was looking for a day worker, only 2 hours a day."

The 40-year-old woman gave her contact number to Maya. Keeping her ethics and mutual respect, Maya accepts the notes given to her.

"Whose name is Neng? We talked, but we didn't know each other."

"I, Maya Buk."

"Call me Mak Kom.. My full name is Kokom jumariah."

"Yes, Mom.. Thanks for the offer, I'll think about it."

"Don't be long, Neng, tell me.." the woman named Kokom said before she went down first at the intersection of the red light.

Along the way because he was cool to chat with women who had just known him, it did not feel the rain had begun to recede a little, although still drizzle a little, and Maya had arrived at her destination.

Maya crosses the street at the second junction of the red light that leads to her residence, walking briskly while covering her head with her small bag, lunging at the remnants of rainwater that still have not completely stopped.

He began to enter the alley 50 meters away, passing through the parking lot lined up along the road to get to the door of his rented house.

Five more steps will arrive, Maya sees the door gap half open, she can also hear clearly the voice of a woman talking loudly.

"Mama doesn't want to know Haris. You should be able to reprimand your wife before Mama takes action! Don't let your wife's behavior ruin your sister's household.!"

"When she was pregnant.! Don't let him know what your wife is doing. Mama still wants to keep it red from Tika for seeing you. You're Mama's son too.!"

"No cat will resist even if it's a rotten salted fish. Herman won't come any closer, if Maya doesn't.!"

As she was stuck thousands of nails into her heart, Maya stopped her steps. Reflex.. He immediately crept his chest that felt pained and tight when he heard the speech, more precisely the accusation from the mouth of the woman he knew as Mama Haris. Not yet had he neutralized his feelings, the voice was heard again and made his heart slit.

"What because Herman is a man who is stout, healthy and not sick? Maya's starting to not take care of you? Herman is also an established man, who you yourself must know that Herman has money, so Maya bravely harassed your sister's household?"

"Tonight he came home late, right? Where the hell has he been? Didn't you come home soon to take care of you? But he chose to crawl. Where is the butiq open until midnight?"

"Ordinary store at most nights at 9. It's approaching 11 and Mama see also no food available on your dining table? Good thing Mama brought food for you Haris."
