Pursuing the Love of Husband
chapter 3

As usual every day Siti was always busy in the shop. Today Siti is more vigilant afraid that Pak Agus will come again to make a scene at the stall. The stall wasn't as crowded yesterday. Pak Agus also until noon did not see his nose even though every day always came from nine o'clock in the morning to afternoon, he said,then the night came again just to eat and drink coffee like not having a job.

"Siti, Seno wants to talk to you!" Uncle Supri came to the shop to hand over his cell phone to Siti.

"Seno, your partner?" Ask Siti in shock. What's his sister calling. Siti asked herself.

"Hello Seno!" Sita's greeting to her sister.

"Siti Ma'am?" Ask Seno.

"Yes this is mbak, Seno! You're okay, right?" Ask Siti worried.

"Seno is good! Mommy's good too, right?"

"Alhamdulillah, be good too. How's your school?"

"Bak, Seno hasn't been paid for three months, another week of the class exam. Seno's money is also running out to eat mbak! It's still two kilos of rice with sugar."

Siti felt pain in her chest. Poor Seno. Inner Siti. "Mbak make his money. You wait a minute! You can't sell the coconuts that are behind the house?"

"Why did it run out, mbak. There was still some fruit, but suddenly there was no more. Maybe someone took it, Seno doesn't know." Seno said sadly.

Siti was even more sad to hear the story of her only puppet sister. "Yes, you wait for Seno! Ma'am will send it as soon as possible!" Siti Promise. Although he himself doubted when he could send his sister that money.

"Yes mbak. It's not good to ride the phone for too long!" Pamit Seno's.

"Yes,Seno. Take care of yourself!" Siti Message.

"Siti also take care of herself!"

"Congratulations. . ."

"Wa aleikumsalam. . ."

The phone was disconnected too.

"This is uncle, his cellphone! Thanks!" Said Siti then handed over the phone belonging to her uncle.

"How, what did Seno say?" Ask uncle Supri.

"Uncle, Seno hasn't paid for school for three months. . ." Answer Siti sadly.

"How much is a month?" Ask uncle again.

"A month forty so a total of one hundred and twenty thousand, uncle! The money to eat is over!"

"Hmm, please try to ask your aunt!" Uncle's promise.

"Really uncle? Thank you very much uncle!" Siti was moved and kissed her uncle's hand.

"You guys just talked! City!" Snapped the aunt who suddenly came.

"So the Seno called Siti,ma!" Bright uncle.

"Ah I don't care! Siti let's work again! You have a lot of debt!" Snapped auntie again.

Siti rushed back to the kitchen.

"What debt does Siti owe?" Ask the aunt.

"Papa forgot papa's nephew had ruined the mama's stall? Break all my mama's plates!" Answer aunt ketus.

"Some plates are just a few that broke ma! Siti's been working here for over a month, she's been paying her ma'am!" Bright uncle.

"Who said just a few? Don't worry about him, papa's nephew, and then papa keeps on going!"

"Papa don't remember ma! Papa see for himself only a few dishes are broken. Is the debt time so much? Remember ma, the tired girl in this shop!"

"Oohh what do you mean?" Aunt emotion.

"Give Siti ma a salary! Otherwise, Daddy told me to go home so that mom would be alone in the shop!" Threat uncle.

"Oohh papa threatened mommy huh! Your self doesn't work?" Aunt is getting emotional.

"Papa narik gojek ma! How can guard the shop too! The money is also papa kanka mama all!"

"Where is Siti ma's salary! The Seno needs!" Uncle pushy.

"Huhooh! I will love you later!" Answer aunty.

"Now ma! Papa wants to send this afternoon too!" Uncle kept forcing. He was upset with his wife's behavior.

"This papa!" Run to the room and then followed by uncle.

"Where's ma?"

"Nlich!" Throw money in bed.

"It's not polite of you to be your husband!" Jerky uncle. Counting the money given by aunt Rena.

"It's only three hundred ma?" Uncle protest.

"How much do you want papa?"

"Site Salary one month ma!"

"The one-month salary is four hundred in a hundred pieces to replace the broken plates!" Answer aunt ketus.

"Four hundred a month ma?" Uncle surprised.

"You want papa how much? A million?"

"Then, I asked the doctor to cooperate, there is a salary of nine hundred. Too far!" Threat uncle.

"Father!" Jerit bi Rena's.

"Papa didn't force mom!" Uncle Supri was about to get out of the room.

"Wait!" Shouted bi Rena. "Niihh! Satisfied you pa!" Give up another two hundred to uncle and leave uncle alone in the room. Uncle just rattles the kapala.

While Siti is still struggling in the kitchen, once in a while if anyone buys. Aunt Rena came with her sour face and glanced at Siti. He then sits in a regular chair where he receives money from the buyer, sometimes helping to serve the buyer if Siti is still busy cooking.

Uncle came near Siti. " Siti, your uncle will send money to your sister! It was loved by your aunt five hundred thousand, the fiber to replace her broken plate. You want to send them all?" Ask uncle.

"Yes uncle, please just send everything to Seno!" Siti Pinta.

"You hold a hundred in case you need money, Lady!" Uncle's advice.

"Sit doesn't need money, uncle! I can eat here!" Siti reasoned.

You are a good boy, Siti. Inner uncle Supri. "So send all, five hundred?" Ask uncle again.

"Yes uncle! Thanks to uncle!" Siti smiled with relief. Can't imagine if his sister stopped going to school. His smart sister.

"Yes already then uncle go first!" Pamit uncle.

After the uncle left, Rena approached Siti. Like his uncle's wife it heard the talk of her husband and Siti.

"Siti! You don't grow a kapala ya mentang-about my husband belain you! Remember Siti, you still have my same debt! Jerky aunt.

"I don't understand what aunt means?"

"Sok your innocence! Cook it right! You have to make my shop more crowded! Understand you!" Threaten aunt and then sit back in her chair.

Day starts night. Buyers are still sitting around just coffee. Actually buyers who eat only until nine. But the new shop can close at the earliest ten hours because the aunt stalls provide wifi also so crowded until night. It was also because the uncle who limited it to ten o'clock otherwise, could close it until morning. And of course Siti will be difficult.

"The shop is closed by Siti!" Uncle's word. Uncle sat on the bench at the entrance of the stall. Unusual of his uncle accompanied Siti at the stall until night.

"Good uncle!" Answer Siti.

Siti rushed to clean the stalls and wash the dirty equipment. While the uncle had locked the door and window of the stall, then entered the house.

"Aahh. . . so sleepy!" Siti Gumam. Siti quickly fell asleep.
