Being on public transport, Maya remembers what Mama Hani said last night. Are you beginning to think and wonder? In addition to the circumstances that are not like other daughters-in-law, what makes Mama Hani really do not like it?
During the household with Haris, he never demanded anything, whether from money, clothes, goods, what else to have to ask Haris to buy him jewelry.
From the beginning of the courtship until Haris proposes, asking that Maya want to be his wife, Mama Hani is just plain, the woman does not show her dislike, he said, it was as if he accepted Maya's presence of being part of the Maulana family as a son-in-law.
From the beginning of marriage, Haris has invited him to live independently by contracting a simple house. Every time he and Haris visit the mansion, Maya is never heavy-handed to do homework, but over time the presence of another daughter-in-law increases, the difference was so clear in Maya, that Haris was diagnosed with chronic obstructive lungs and had to resign from his job.
"Left, left Sir... Stopped in front." For daydreaming, Maya almost went black.
Descending from the angkot, Maya rejects the offer of some ojek Kang.
~ Ojek Neng's.
~ Cape Neng road, ngojek yukkk
"Have a look, Kang just walk."
He had to save money, choose to walk a few kilometers to get to Ruko level 3 where the Tante Rossa butiq is located, he had to pass Raya square with a row of shops that have not yet opened.
"May.. Mayaa..."
A shrill voice could be heard calling from behind, as she continued walking, Maya looked back. He saw Dina running around to immediately match her steps with Maya.
"It's called instead of stopping instead of moving on?" Dina rambles when she gets to Maya's side.
"I'm called to have to stop."
"Wait a minute wait..." Dina blocks Maya's steps. Reversing her waist was already akin to fierce in-laws, her head moving up and down, Dina scanned Maya from head to toe.
"Nothing strange, but suspicious." Dina started fishing and asked.
"You've been fighting with Haris, haven't you? What's.. Your in-laws are throwing a tantrum?" Dina is already pretched, if Maya is late in the morning, with the mood deteriorating, there must be something going on.
"You are like a shaman." Maya continues her steps.
"Ihhh, May.. I'm your true soulmate, will I tell ya? Wellhhhh.?"
"You're kepoooo...." Maya runs away leaving Dina who is also chasing after her.
The two women are chasing with laughter like teenagers, Maya can laugh freely and a little forget the burden when outside the house and meet Dina, who is, his friend was able to melt the bad atmosphere with all his talk and behavior.
"Neng Maya, why run? Like chasing a fierce dog?" Kang By asked to see two women he knew chasing each other.
Not usually the parking attendant has arrived so early.
"Hell boy, why are those fierce dogs." Dina snatched Kang By's question with glaring eyes.
"Aw... There is the most beautiful Neng Dina in the world... Careful Neng, the seeds of his eyes will jump out." Kang By laughed out loud because he had managed to tease Dina.
The two people of different gender were always arguing and denouncing when they met. Maya calls him the true Tom and Jerry. Cats and rats that never get along when they meet.
"Kangs.. Did you come in the morning? Usually 9 o'clock just nongol?" Maya asks while removing the lock from the bag and handing it to Dina.
"That's Neng, the shophouse at the end of the road near the ojek base last night conceded. Tuh look... The security guard in this area is being interrogated by some police officers." Kang By telling a story
Maya can see the crowd at the end of the street, in front of a shophouse selling jewelry with its Chinese owners.
"Yes, Kang.." Maya spoke with eyes still staring down the road.
"Pity us even more."
"Why?" turning her face away, Maya asked by looking at Kang By.
"Si Ngkoh lost a few kilos of gold, but his life has been flooded with Neng's treasure, lahhh kitaaa.." with the logat betawinya. "Too until the turn, let alone anything left.. Confused about what to take.?"
The parking attendant laughed with his words.
"That's.. Kang by mahh! Kirain why?"

Before long, the heart-red Mazda CX 8 driven by Aunt Rossa arrived at the parking lot of the shophouse area.
"Leh, later I'll mintak please you lower the suitcase and bag from the second floor ya."
"Every Aunt..."
Because of the good relations of fellow sustenance seekers in this region.. Aunt Rossa did not hesitate to ask for help to Kong By to help when in need. And Aunt Rossa did not forget to give a tip as a wage.
A few hundred ataw fifty thousand, maybe for those who have a lot of money will be meaningless, but very different for those who earn little. Will be welcomed with a bright smile.
"May, we're leaving in 30 minutes.. Tanta's been asking By to drop the suitcases and bags off the second floor." Aunt Rossa spoke after coming inside.
"Yes, aunt.."
"Din, you wait alone, Ok.."
"Ok, Auntie.."
Before leaving, Maya took breakfast, eating the provisions she brought.
"What cooking, May?" Dina joined in sitting on the floor of the back room and opened the package of rice that he bought near his contract.
"Buncis stir fry and omelet..." Maya answered with a mouth full of food.

Maya has been sitting next to Aunt Rossa who drives a car without using the services of a driver. The woman is still strong and energetic. Maya can judge Aunt Rossa is a truly independent woman.
In addition to her Umi in the village, Maya learns a lot about life and patience from the woman beside her. The woman who became the boss. Not many know how heavy life is in lauli Aunty Rossa, some people only see her as a woman with a brilliant career as a designer and abundant coffers of wealth, he said, I don't know how many tears he has shed.
"May.." Aunt Rossa broke Maya's mind who was looking far away while staring at the crowded highway.
"How's your husband doing?"
"There is still no change Auntie, still must be supported with drugs every day."
"Sorry, May.. Not intentionally, Auntie heard of your conversation with Dina.. Is that true?"
"Where's Auntie?"
"Why your soul? Sorry, May.. Maybe it's very personal for you. Aunty dared to ask because you Aunty considered, already like a Aunt's son.."
Maya sits down, she doesn't know what to say. Whether honesty will be good or not.. It feels like Maya is ashamed to have to indulge in it. What else is bed trouble.
Maya silence.. Aunt Rossa already knows the answer.
"What about May's other living?"
"Mas Haris makes money from his writing, but Maya uses it to redeem the medicine every fortnight Auntie?"
"What enough?" Aunt Rossa asked with focused eyes looking ahead.
Maya shook her head.
"We borrowed it to Mama Hani."
"Haris' mom?" Aunt Rossa made sure.
Maya nodded her head again.
Auntie's question, open up about what you got from your household? Book about the loyalty you have to uphold with Haris, May? Nor is it a defense. But, how strong you are able to live it."
"Life is faced with two choices. Yes and no, sweet and bitter, black and white, don't be gray if it's going to ruin your life."
"And of course, you will be where, you will be demanded to be able to choose, and you must be prepared for all the consequences. You're so young, may.."
"Your journey is long, and if one day you find your happiness, go after it and don't look back."
