First Salary
“Aataghfirullah Bang Gani! If I can choose, I also don't want to be bitter honey, which in honey and which becomes honey is equally bitter, Bang. Again, do not judge people by what we can only see from the outside. If it wasn't for Abah and Ambuk, I wouldn't want to be Mr. Anwar's wife!”
After talking like that, Usfi closed the car door loudly, and drove his car forward at high speed.
Gani bit her lower lip, anxious and also regretful, because her speech was very clear to make Usfi sad. He saw a clear bulb welling up in the girl's eyes.
However, Gani's regret will not change anything from what happened to Usfi. He could only rub his face rough, while walking and returning home.
Where home is the most convenient place to shed all resentment and anger, the most ideal place for someone to be themselves, without worrying about anyone else out there knowing, who we really are, if we're in it.
All the talk that Gani accidentally heard from Usfi and Noura earlier, made his heart hit, because reality is not the same as what he thought before, that, Usfi is too materialistic and, therefore, too, not thinking about their close relationship.
Indeed he never honestly said his feelings but, he always showed the girl, if he liked her and, trying to be a man who deserves to be her companion.
He did not think at all that a Usfi marriage, just because of the return and filial piety to both parents, as the orders in religion. Far from her advice all this time. He hoped that Usfi would still like him until now.
Gani combed her hair with her fingers, as she squatted on the prayer mat and, trying to cool her heart. He realized, if Usfi really good and married for good anyway, not at all because of property.
He felt very guilty and regretful, he shouldn't have left then, so humans were as useless as they are today. He should have done better and more successfully, then, kept Usfi from afar, because until whenever that feeling, it would not seem to just disappear.
However, she is not a player who spreads charm so that a wife separated from her husband, because tempted by him. Nowadays good looks alone are not enough, because everywhere women already know that, they will not be full by eating love.
Akhs! Gani clucked slowly, he would not do the deed which, being the highest achievement for the demon seductive man, was to destroy a household.
“Gani, Gani, it is better to do good for good as well, than to think no, everything that happens to Onah now, he said, it's his fate that I can't tempt him to separate from Mr. Anwar ... It was likely that he would definitely keep his marriage, as strong as he could. Although, she became a second wife and experienced something bad.” Gani said to herself, going to bed and laying down.
He was more worried if Usfi fired him then, he did not know what to work for. Even though all this time, he had endured embarrassment as a graduate graduate, a former civil servant but, now working as a porters.
That night, after Gani had dinner and cleansed himself, he spent time, to recite and reflect on his life.
Then came the determination that if he had worked for a month and earned a salary, he would return to the metropolitan city to take all his belongings and sell the motorbike left by his father-in-law, even if approved by his wife and mother-in-law.
He planned to meet his wife and son afterwards, as it had been almost three months since they had not met.
$$$$$$$$
Without feeling a month already Gani working as a Usfi employee there. Since that night's meeting, the two of them acted as if they didn't know each other, there was no contact and communication though.
In fact, it has been a week Gani has not seen Usfi come where they work. There is only Joko who is in charge of being his successor. He was actually curious as to where the woman had been all along, but he was reluctant to ask anyone, due to embarrassment and worry about being accused of meddling in people's affairs.
Until the time came he got the promised salary, as scheduled for that day. Everyone who works there gets their own rations.
Gani deliberately took the last order in order to be free to ask about Usfi to Joko.
“This is your salary yes Gan, just like everyone else when you just work,” said Joko while giving a white envelope, to Gani who stood in front of her desk.
At that time, everyone was gone, there were only two truck drivers who had not left to bring their goods, because they spent the rest of the coffee.
“Kok, so, sir. Is that okay?” ask Gani.
“Oh, if the matter of salary is not me who is chattering, all already from Bu Usfi!”
“Oh, thank you sir!”
“Yes! Equally!”
“Pak, if you can ask, where is Bu Usfi, already this week why does not look?” Without Gani's songs showing her curiosity which she had long kept for this week.
“Wah, where do I know, Gan! The salary money of the employees he had prepared before disappearing, I went to his house just no, on the phone also can not! If you have a Bu Usfi number, try calling there, who knows if you call Bu Usfi to pick it up!”
“No, sir, I don't know the number! Oh yes, sir .. I may permit a week, there are important things that I have to take care of in the city of Pak,” said Gani while smiling shyly because he had just worked for a while already asking permission.
“Why, Gan? You are a new employee, already want to skip work!”
“Sorry, sir .. I came home yesterday it did not have time to bring anything, everything is still there, I continue to work directly until now, if possible, next month cut my salary.”
“If the matter of the salary, once again the business of Bu Usfi, including allowing leave, may or not, but, because now there is no Mother .. so yes, it is up to you! If you go home later, just say the same to Bu Usfi, no problem cutting salary!”
“Iya, Sir, thank you!”
Without thinking any longer, Gani went to the metropolis that night as well, using the train. The next day he immediately finished all business, selling motorcycles directly at the place of sale and purchase of used motorcycles.
After that, he immediately went to his mother-in-law's hometown, to hand over the money for the sale of their motorbike.
Arriving at his mother-in-law's hometown, the man felt relieved. Although, he had never once set foot there, but, Gani had no trouble finding the address of the house that his family lived in.
“Wah, Gani, are you here?”
