I'm Always Wrong In Your Eyes
part 6 The presence of a new person

"Assalamualaikum, Dina" said Merwais.

"Greetings Walaikum, sir" I said.

"Eehhh, don't call Mr. Dong. Call me Merwais" he said with a lispy accent.

It turns out that Merwais is a descendant. His father is from Pakistan. While his mother is from Indonesia. Merwais's mother was the younger sister of her father Kak Vera. Merwais went down her father's face. His piety is almost near perfection. With a handsome face, a tall body, clean white skin and .....

Ah, it's been. I don't want to talk about it. I'm afraid my heart is double.

Merwais opened the entrance. With a sigh I also entered the boutique sister Vera. Because I'm not used to being treated like that, not even by my husband.

Inside I immediately do activities with friends. They're glad I got back to work at that boutique.

At half-five in the afternoon the shop was closed. My other friends have all gone home. I'm waiting for Bagas' invitation.

"Not yet to Din?" greet brother Vera.

Brother Vera and Merwais just got out of the boutique and locked her up.

"Not been picked up, brother." I said.

"It's almost magrib lo. Your husband's time hasn't picked up yet. It's usually five o'clock."

"Do not know brother. No calls or sms either. Maybe Bagas overtime times."

"Yes, my brother went home first. There's a promise to the kids."

"Yuk Wais we go home" Vera asked Merwais.

"Kak Vera first, let Vais accompany Dina. Poor alone."

"OK deh. Brother first yes." said Brother Vera while rolling his eyes at me.

Almost adzan magrib, I have not been picked up. Finally, Merwais and I went to Mushola to immediately perform the prayers of the magrib. Immediately I silent my salary so as not to interfere during prayer.

After the prayer, I immediately checked my salary. There may be a call or a Bagas sari message. It turned out that there were dozens of incoming calls and several messages from him.

[Why my phone wasn't picked up]

[Where are you? There is nothing in front of the store]

[Thanks be*o]

[You must be cheating]

[Basic, si*lan's wife] with angry emo.

That's Bagas. If she gets angry, she won't call me Mother anymore. I called him back soon too.

"Hey be*o, si*lan's wife, the bad wife, why don't you pick up my phone earlier. Surely you cheated ya" with anger Bagas received a call from me.

"Astagfirullah, your mouth is guarded by Yah. Don't accuse me. If there's no evidence it's called slander."

"Hurry home." tut, tut,, tut, the phone was cut off.

"Your husband called Din?" ask Merwais.

"Yes. He told me to go home soon"

"Let me take Din?"

I doubt it too. Afraid that the Bagas family was thinking negatively of Merwais. I don't want to ruin the mood. I finally broke up to use the services of an ojek. Because near Mushola there is a place where the ojek brothers live.

"No, no Wais, let me take the ojek"

Merwais drove me to the ojek brother's place and immediately paid the fare.

"Thank you yes. I'll go home first. Assalamualaikum"

"Greetings walaikum. If there's anything you can call me Din"

I also just nodded my head.

Arriving at my in-laws' house, I was immediately greeted with Bagas' anger.

"This is si*lan's wife just came after being preoccupied with her affair"

"Just a day's work has dared to mess around"

Bagas continued to scatter with his scathing sentence. No one in the house cared. Only my father-in-law would defend me.

"Already Bagas. You should have seen his situation. You'll pick up Dina while people are praying. Ask first" said my father-in-law.

"Yes sir, I pray magrib in Mushola near the boutique kak Vera. You see Bagas has not picked me up and also did not call and send a message telling him to work overtime" I said.

"Aaahhh, that's just an excuse. Prayers at home can. At most Dina cheated on the guy in the boutique."

"Astagfirullah, he is his cousin Brother Vera well. Just ask the store if you don't believe it"

"Already, no shame what a fuss like this." My father-in-law also snapped.

Arriving at the rented house, I cleaned myself and immediately invited Galang to sleep in the room. I don't care about Bagas getting drunk on tv.

**********

This morning the weather was very cold. It's not been six months since I returned to work at Vera's boutique. The trees also grew rapidly. At the age of just fourteen months, Galang was already smooth to walk. It is the spirit of my life.

"Honey, today's mom's salary. Later Galang mother buyin robots yes"

"His nya nyaah." with a happy expression, Galang immediately played his hand.

So funny and active my Galang.

"Yuk, Mommy and Dad take you to Grandma's place"

"Father speed, Mother and Galang are ready" I shouted from outside.

Not how long Bagas out while guiding his butut motor.

"Today right Mommy salary, father asked for money Mother yes to fix this motorbike?"

"Lho, is Dad's salary money over? Just got the salary."

"Dad only gave two hundred thousand to Mother. That's once a month, Daddy."

"Mother must also pay the same debt Kak Vera. Debt during the birth of Galang"

"Even, pay the debt later. The important thing is to fix this motor first. If the motor is damaged, mother will also not be able to work"

"So that wife don't keep ngeyel. You want to be a bad wife."

I can just be quiet too. Don't want to keep arguing that there will be no end to it. And immediately take her to work. Afraid it might rain soon.

Arriving at the boutique we immediately do the activities as usual. But today Vera is not in the boutique. Merwais said, Brother Vera is out of town because there is work. Not only does Vera own this boutique, but she is also a successful career woman. Although he was rich, Brother Vera was never arrogant to anyone.

During the day break, Bagas stopped by the boutique and immediately asked me for money.

"Bund, where's the money."

"Yet unloved. Usually in the afternoon when I go home from work"

"Begging for two hundred and fifty thousand. There's no way that guy wouldn't love me."

"Oh Allah, there are many. Mother also has to pay off the debt that used to be."

"Somehow, the bike wasn't damaged"

"Aahh, always refuse what the husband asks. What would it be to be a bad wife"

"Seek the same guy, he'll love you. Lagian tuh guy kayak her crush same mother. Opportunity dong"

"Astagfirullah, what do you mean?"

"Here, I'm the Bund. She is the affair of Mother" Bagas also raised his voice.

Some visitors turned towards us. I'm ashamed too. So shy.

Before long Bagas also whispered a sentence in my ear.

"If you still love Galang immediately take the money"

I also looked up and shed tears.
