When You Think Wrong

When You Think Wrong
Tomi Comes at the Right Time


Right at noon while the store was bustling, five middle-aged men I didn't know walked into the store


"Is this Adi's shop?" ask one of them to my employee who just put a sack of rice on the floor


"Sure sir, what's wrong?"


I who was sitting inside turned to them and guessed that they might be the fish seedling tauke that had promised me


"Whose got any?" ask the others


I stood up and nodded my head at them


"That seems to be Adi's wife" said one of those who immediately entered followed the others


"Minda?" ask them


I nodded and received their helping hands, the five of them glued to each other and seemed to smile with a grin


"This wife is beautiful even nyari that is not right" murmured a thick-bodied and mustachioed while pulling a chair and sitting down


The others immediately glared their eyes. I just smiled stiffly


"I'm sorry, gentlemen, because the place is not comfortable"


The five of them circulated their gazes throughout the store and some of them started smoking cigarettes


"We can not linger long, we all come here in addition to wanting to stay in touch, we also want to collect Adi's debt to all of us" they said and immediately handed me a note


I started leaning against my body as soon as I received a note from them.


As hard as I can, I hold my tears not to fall, but I cannot


My tears immediately flowed as soon as I saw sheet after sheet of notes that the five father tauke gave me


"Oh my God, how come it's this much?" meekness


He was silent


"Why do you silence all this?, as if you all really want us to go bankrupt" I said sadly


"It's not so mbak, we do this all because we still think about our good relationship with mas Adi, if not for that, we have long been unwilling to give him seedlings again" answer one of them


"Just we don't want to know mbak, mbak must pay off all of Adi's debts to us" snapped a thin mustache father


I immediately gasped at the sound of his heavy voice snapping at me. The employees and buyers turned their heads towards us and made me glare for a moment holding in shame


"Heh bro that's not it, we already agreed there was no anger" replied the other said his friend who was yelling at me


"He's the one who started bro, he thinks we don't lose what?"


"Lu diem bro, if you can't be brake, you're in the car!"


The thin mustachioed man put on an annoyed face and exhaled cigarette smoke into the air in annoyance as well


"Bak can see how long the mas Adi wait for us, even here there are also paid half even some are paid only thirty percent, the rest he said waiting for the harvest, he said waiting for the harvest, and now it's been many times the harvest but not yet mas Adi pay off"


I took a deep breath


"Have all the fathers charged my husband often?"


"It's tired of mbak, even if you don't think about it, it feels like mas Adi wants us sungi" replied the moustached father was emotional


The others turned their heads and shook their heads at the father, giving a code to be silent


"I'm sure that you all know that my husband is acting" I replied slowly


The five smiled in a sneer


"As I said earlier, Adi mas is stupid to leave a perfect wife for the sake of an imperfect woman"


I smiled faintly at the response of the stocky-bodied father who seemed to be the chairman among the five of them


"Fathers can all meet Mas Adi for this problem, if the father all charges me, I do not know to know sir, this is all the money I paid to the farmers of palm oil seedlings, I just know this, for pool workers and also nursery workers, that alone is still less so much debt Mas Adi"


"And last month Mr. Bara also charged, if you want to meet mas Adi, I will give the address to the father of all"


"No way you don't know, you're his wife, where's the money all this time if you don't put it together mbak, huh?"


"Bak don't want to sell our tears, we won't feel sorry for it, what we want is our money back" he pointed right into my face


The entire employee fell silent and looked at Dinda with a look of pity. Likewise with the buyers, they also looked at Dinda who was crying while being pointed emotionally


"Astaghfirullah Endro, we told you to shut up!!" snapped the father was thick while pulling rough the hands of his friend who had called Endro


"Come on bro, we know how cunning Adi is, his mouth is so sweet that he can fool all five of us, and now his wife wants to come along and cheat us?" reply thin mustachioed father named Endro is still emotional


"Alfian, you take Endro to the car, don't finish this business if he's still here!"


"Can't bro, you're too good to be a person, not rich me" replied Mr. Endro still mengeyel


I looked at Mr. Endro's angry face with a pounding heart


"This problem solved me!"


My eyes and the eyes of these five tauke fathers immediately turned towards the front.


Tom...


I stood up and my tears broke when I saw Tomi walking quickly towards us


Tomi glanced at Dinda and threw away her face because she could not bear to see Dinda's tears flowing


"I'm Tomi, I'm Dinda's sister" Tomi said


The five tauke shook Tomi's hand, but the irritation on Endro's face still hasn't diminished


"We don't talk here, we talk at the restaurant near the fork there, please go first there, about half an hour I will follow"


The five looked at each other and the thick-bodied father who had scolded Mr. Endro nodded his head


"All right, we'll wait, but not for long"


"I promise half an hour at most, because I want to talk to my sister first"


He complied and left the store


"I'm sorry Mr. Endro mbak Dinda" said the father who only responded with a nod of the head because I was still sobbing


Only then did the father catch up with his four friends who had walked first


I looked straight at Tomi and came back crying stifled. Tomi swiftly grabbed my shoulder and took me upstairs


All the employees who saw Dinda cry as much as they could only take a deep breath, even Siska also shed her tears


"All because of Mr. Adi" furious others


Tomi continued to hold my hand tightly as we climbed the stairs. Until I got above I reflexively hugged her and cried loudly in her arms


"What was my fault Tom until I was tested this heavy?"


Tomi was silent and just rubbed Dinda's head that was crying loudly in her arms


"My husband cheated on me, left me a lot of debt and now he goes to his young wife's house, and I have to pay all the debts" he said


"Yes, you are patient...."


I just kept crying so much


"And now I'm being yelled at for a mistake I never made"


"Wouldn't I be a wife until my husband cheated? am I so stupid that all my husband's crimes I don't know about?"


Tomi did not answer, he continued to rub Dinda's head


"What is the love I give my partner less so that I have to go back to feeling the pain left by the person I love?"


"You left me, now I have to get back to Adi"


Tomi gulped her saliva with a guilty feeling hearing the word Dinda had just said
