Mak Ningrum's Heart Wound.
Chapter 20

PoV Agus Strong.

Lightning tub in the hot sun when hearing my wife's accusation. That I sold it. What the hell, he meant? I really can't understand. I glanced at Ningrum's emotionless face with tears in my eyes, my heart breaking. I was wrong before I married him not to tell him about my old household with Arin.

Remembering Arin I turned to 19 years ago.

Prankk! the praankk! Brak!!

That's the music that's always been heard at the farmhouse contract. But not the music of the rockers who sang Iwan Fals or Niki Astria who was popular in my era. But it was the frying pan, and the kitchen furniture that Arin slammed into when angry.

I began to recognize Arinta's bad habits, since the little girl I named Jesinta Rahayu. The fruit of my love for Arinta was born into the world. Since the birth of Jesi, my household was colored by quarrels.

Arinta doesn't want to accept the fact that I'm just a weekly paid project worker.

"Where is enough money Mas, must buy milk, to eat daily, not to mention paying rent!" That's how Arin, who doesn't want to be grateful for what I give.

"You also have to irritate Arin, for a while do not need to buy expensive powder!" My advice. Arin is wasteful if you buy expensive wanted powder.

"Just kid! You are not looking for money! Don't just rely on the salary of the project, what work is the cake!" Ketus Arin while passing away.

I squeezed my hair out. Arin's right, I have to find some extra money. I am tired not feeling. That night I also hung out at the ojek base joining the neighbors pulling the ojek so that the needs can be met.

"Tumben Gus, are you in ngojek?" Ask Bari.

"Search for extras, Bar."

"Halaah... most to buy cosmetics bini loe right?!" Cynical Aris, but it is so if talking of course only in the mouth.

I didn't answer to let them guess what the reason was.

"Gus, bini loe is so beautiful huh, how the hell? Can you get a beautiful wife like Loe's wife?" Puji Wira's. This question is often asked by friends. I smiled wryly, if only Arin's beauty was accompanied by good habits, how happy I am.

During the night I work but still can not meet the needs of Arin. "If we keep this up, we'd better get divorced!" Jerky Arin.

"Oeekk..."

I snorted in annoyance leaving Arin who was in a big rage. Immediately calmed the crying Jesi who was screaming at Arin's voice.

Until the age of Jesinta one year our quarrel continued to occur until the peak, Arin fix clothes.

"Where are you Arin?" I asked to stand in front of the woman who had hurt me a lot.

"Go away, I can't bear to live hard with you!" He said while carrying a bag.

"Arin, wait for Arin. Please don't go, pity our son, still need your affection." My begs.

"Bodo time!" Ketus Arin pushed my body that was embracing her knees. However, Arin still left not wanting to look again.

I stood up from the bed and went out of the room sitting on the terrace thinking what steps I would take. It's impossible to just stay at Jesi's foster home. If this continues how can we feed Jesi?

Mother. Yes, only Mom can help me.

The next day by riding his only treasure is a motorcycle. I glided over to Mother's house with the Jesi I carried in front. Until arriving at the little house of the Father. This is where I just stay. Both of my sisters were taken by their husbands.

"Kan, did Mom say Gus, don't marry Arin, but you're crazy!" Spray Mom when I express the intention of leaving Jesi. Mother did forbid me to marry Jesi, maybe I can judge since I introduced Arin first.

"Mom, only Mom can I help you." I feel guilty. Maybe it's karma because I used to argue with Mom and defend Arin.

"Yes Gus, you think you can see my granddaughter is not taken care of." Mom answered and held Jesi, kissed her cheek. Clear water falls on Mom's cheek. I can't bear to look at her.

"From now on you can't contract Gus' house anymore, just stay at mom's house. Mom is alone in this house. If you want to work, just work, leave Jesi to Mom."

"Thank you, Mom."

That's how while selling small stalls is indeed the busyness of Mother, Jesi in caring for Mother. All my salary I leave it to Mom. It turns out that if the right way to manage money, my salary is enough for daily needs. Even Mom put aside money for rent money without me knowing.

Seven years later.

"Gus, this is the money you're supposed to pay for, I put it aside for your savings, son." Mother said to hand over the money one can of biscuit tied with rubber.

"Mom.. This money is for Mom's purposes only." I stared at the old, wrinkled face counting money.

"What did Mom do? I'm old Gus, this money is better for you to go to college, son, let you progress not only to be a project worker."

I was moved to look at Mom, and what's wrong with following her advice. I finally went to college last night. That's how my days focus on taking care of Jesi, work, college many women who fall in love with me but my heart feels closed with the word woman. Though Mother often persuaded me to find Mom for Jesi.

It was time to graduate and get an engineer degree. Just finished graduation I was offered a lecturer guidance counselor. Building the Ganendra family home. However, not as a building porters anymore but rather make the design of the house and concurrently become a supervisor. From then on I often got jobs out of town.

After Jesi Junior High, my beloved mother died. Jesi often I live alone at home until often lonely. But as much as I can communicate. If Jesi's off school I take him out of town a lot.

Luxurious house complex blooming sari and vast land alhamdulillah, I can buy and invite Jesi to move.

Until the time comes when Jesi is in first grade High School. I was offered to design a house that has been reot on the orders of Mr. Bima. That's where I met Ningrum turned out the house I designed was his. The woman who was sniffy when she spoke but was actually good it had filled the space of my heart that had been empty for years.

It's not easy to get Ningrum. Women who are diligent and love to cook are often invited to work. During our one year together Ningrum's heart I could reach. We agreed to get married and Jesi happily agreed.

"Jesi happy Dad.. My prayer finally answered, Dad wants to give me Mom after a long time," said Jesi. We also hugged.

Our wedding was less than a week and everything was ready. I didn't think Arinta came to my house after 17 years of leaving me and Jesinta.
