My House of Resilience
Chapter 7. Rumor Infidelity

As long as this body is still given a chance to live, Tanti should not give up. Her husband was no barrier to keep going forward. Even though he has little experience, it does not mean he has no other opportunities.

While Tanti did not rest on her hands expecting mercy from her husband, who turned out to have no compassion at all. It is time to surrender to God by trying as much as possible with both hands and feet.

Tanti does not have special skills, but she has advantages. Tanti can cook so that neighbors often use his services when holding a celebration. It is rare because in the village always use a good day to hold a celebration. The point is not every day there are people who will hold such an event. It is natural that Tanti will only work if there are people who need it.

"Mr Tanti can help in our house, right? Just two days, Ma'am. How's it?" ask one of Tanti's neighbors who wants to use her services.

Pucuk loved ulam also arrived. This is the time when he struggles to get the rupiah coffers with his own efforts. Even if Ari can't support it, it's not a problem. It was time for Tanti to show her fangs that without her husband, she could also succeed.

"Yes, Mother. Lt could. Start when, huh?" This is Tanti's chance to make money. Although the amount is not much, at least this can be used for daily needs.

"Start tomorrow, Ma'am. The cost is as usual, isn't it, Mommy? Per day 100 grand, yes."

"Yes, Mother. Tomorrow I will come" said Tanti sure. When else would he fight if not like this. The golden opportunity will not be wasted.

As promised with the person who will use his services, Tanti arrived on time. There she helped cook. More precisely some odd jobs. Sometimes you have to cook and then wash the used cooking utensils. Sometimes Tanti helps fill the food box that will be given to neighbors around. There are also some dinner plates available for the guests. Very busy and exhausting.

"Tanti's makin's taste is delicious, you know. I'm never disappointed to use Ma'am's services" praised one of the mothers who happened to help on the show.

"Thank you, Ma'am. I learned from my parents. My mother is very good at cooking," replied Tanti.

"Why Ma'am Tanti does not try to open catering, for example. That's a good result, ma'am. Sukur-sukur Mbak Tanti can open a stall. Many customers come to buy. After all, in addition to the food is good, Madam Tanti is also always clean and neat. All cooking spices that have been peeled are always washed before use."

Saying is easy, but for those who run it feels difficult. Opening a business obviously requires capital that is not small. Currently, to eat everyday alone is difficult, added again with the needs of life for both adopted children. Then, Tanti will get capital from where? That's what Tanti has been considering all along. He could have been desperate, but the more determined, the more money to be used was getting bigger. He will definitely add to the list of debts that never paid off.

"Just pray, Ma'am. I also want to open such a business. His capital is not yet collected. Hopefully it can be realized, yes," said Tanti.

His name is neighbor, in addition to praising must also be cornered.

"Suami Mbak is a successful handyman, no. If only capital love for such a venture, what is the difficulty?"

Gluey!

If Tanti wanted to expose her husband's disgrace, would her neighbors still be able to say such a thing? Or, he will even feel sorry for the fate of Tanti who has not been blessed for a long time?

"Yes, Mother. Sometimes if Ari goes home, I will try the advice that Mbak gave. Thank you, yes," said Tanti.

For two days, Tanti was busy helping her neighbors. The third day, he just got the agreed money of 200 thousand.

Trial after trial does not stop there. The money earned in addition to fulfilling his life needs, the money was also used to pay his children's school fees. However, it was not enough to fulfill everything.

Some people have talked about asking for a certificate of proof of not being able to be submitted to the school of his two sons. At least it will help Tanti reduce her children's school fees. Economic hardship experienced not because of her work but the work of her husband.

Ari completely lost responsibility. Every time he came home, instead of giving his obligations as a husband, he was always troublesome.

"Yes, ma'am" answered her two children simultaneously.

Tanti's determination is round. He did not know whether he would be allowed to get the certificate or not. Because the two children are only adopted children who may be dataally still follow the original parents.

The doubts about the permits obtained in fact stopped at a food stall not far from the village hall. Some people try to say hello to Tanti because they feel familiar.

"Sir, where are you going?"

"Road village" replied Tanti briefly.

"What do you want to do?"

"Anu, take care of filing a fee waiver for my two children." Wait for the innocent woman so that whatever the person asks is answered honestly. Tanti intends to continue her goal to the village hall, in fact stopped for a reason. Tanti overheard people talking about her husband. So curious, Tanti tried to listen until it was over.

"Eh, do you know if Madam Tanti is no longer taken care of with her husband?"

"Eh, what do you mean, right?"

"That's lo, Mas Ari, he's got WIL."

"Loh, Mas Ari instead works as a builder, huh?"

"Yes. Some of his friends said he had WIL. You know what, WIL what?"

His interlocutor who felt he did not understand the purpose of the conversation was getting curious. They were well aware that there was Tanti who happened to be talking to one of the people she knew.

"What is WIL?"

"That's another dream woman or what's usually called an affair."

"So, that Ari has an affair?" The woman shut her mouth in disbelief.

"Heard like that. A lot of people know."

"Eh, if that is not true, the fall of slander loh. The sins!"

"Oh, I know that's a fact, but who knows everyone else. Not me! If you don't believe it, just ask the person directly. Kids today say, be valid!"

The deg!

Tanti surprised. All this time the change in attitude of her husband was apparently because of having an affair. Whether this is true or just gossip, Tanti will ask Ari. This seems stupid indeed. Tanti should have investigated it, but it was absolutely impossible. Ari's locked down Tanti's wiggle room.
