Enough One Wife
Jihan Wants to Go Home
"Dragon, I actually have another wish." Said Jihan, while lowering her head. After I told him that I wanted to buy a house from Putro. He looked hesitant, playing his negligee.
"Why? What do you want, brother? justsaytheword. I'll try." I said.
"Mmmm, actually I want to go home bang. I want to go to Sumatra. I miss my family, my hometown too. I'd love to go home after three years of not coming home." He said in a small voice, probably worried that I wouldn't allow it. True what Jihan said, during the three years of our marriage, I have never even once invited her home even though she had expressed her direct secars or in the guionan her desire to go home.
During this time, every holiday and leave we spent with holidays to my village because the cost is cheaper when compared to the village of Jihan. One person commuting can run out of two millions with check in and bus fare or travel from our home to the airport, and vice versa. My head was dizzy, imagining that there should be at least six million to travel to Sumatra. Duh, why your village should be so far away Dik. I complained in my heart. If I told her she could frown, I would have known the consequences.
"When do you want to go home, brother?" I asked, still wanting to weigh in.
"The end of the month tomorrow at payday? Kan Abang has not taken leave, continues sikembar also been three months, has been strongly invited to take a plane." Said Jihan again with great enthusiasm.
"Well, end of the month?" I'm getting dizzy. If so buy a Putro house then the end of the month will be the first payment time of five rupiahs. My salary is fifteen rupiahs. I promised to send seven million to my mother to give her thanks. If I don't give you the chance to be disappointed, it means there are only three million left for our living expenses. It was impossible to be forced to go home.
"How bang? Can, right?" jihan asked with a look of anxious expectation.
"Look, if we buy the house, our money is reduced and not enough for homecoming costs. You know you have to owe me a brother can't. From the first brother did not owe you anything, except to buy this house because obviously we will deposit five million every month." I explained.
"O, so yeah bang." Jihan's face was immediately disappointed. He lowered his head.
"I'm sorry, brother. But what about next month? After the payday brother. Or lebaran?" my many.
Jihan just nodded, then she busied herself with a twilight. It seems he was intentionally to dispel his sadness.
"I'm sorry, sorry. It's for the future of our family. Dear brother to you, deck. I know you miss your family, I promise you once our money flies!" I said in my heart.
After that, we resumed our routine as usual. I made a contract with Putro about buying and selling houses. When he handed me the key, I felt proud. Although the house is still nyicil, but at least there is already a property that is mine.
"Look, this house, it's good other than right?" I said, during some space with Jihan and the kids before we moved in. The plan is Saturday we'll move here so I can help Jihan get home. After being satisfied to boast of this house with Jihan who only answered modestly, I began to call my mother to show the results of my own efforts. Type four five house. Who would have thought, a Hasan who has only worked for a few years can already have a house even though it is nyicil.
[Hopefully we can have a car soon. So go back and do not take the bus again.] said Mother.
His words made me think. Car, yes, right. My supervisors already have a car. Especially if the manager also has a car. I thought about having it too.
After calling mom, I immediately searched for information about the car there are many brands and of course the price. New or used car. After scrolling for a while, the choice was fixed on a used Avanza car priced at two hundred millions. This car seems suitable for us to remember later that returning home can fit a lot to take my extended family for a walk. Understandably, our big family does not have a car. If the streets are usually sonorous angkot or ride a bike rame-rame.
"Honey, at the end of the month tomorrow we buy this car yuk." I said, showing a picture of the car I have chosen. Jihan who was busy some cleaning did not talk much. "The cost is cheap too. Still enough. It won't interfere with our kitchen money." I said again.
"Keep the DP how, bang?" ask Jihan
"Later to get a loan."
"debt? Don't you want to go into debt?" Jihan stared hard, so I had to be smart to convolute so that my wishes were not denied by her. However, I have the principle that all the household decisions we take together
"Sir, this is for buying a car. The car is an asset. It could be for our savings. If there is anything, at any time it can be sold. This brother is now a manager, you know, the period of not using the car. The motor is very blind. Since college, I have never changed. If there is sustenance what is wrong to replace. Besides, if we have a car, it's easier to drive around. Aye, right?" I said.
"Didn't remember my brother's promise?" Jihan looked at. He looks hopeful.
"What promise? Which promise? Duh, then yes, brother. You want to look at the car first. You can find a suitable seller. The location is close to here. He also sang online. Brother wants to chat him first huh. Worried that if pushed back, even the seller offline continues his car hunted sold to another." I immediately moved away from Jihan, busy communicating via chat with the car seller. I deliberately ignored his call by diverting it to the car seller.
I know Jihan will take the homecoming promise I made yesterday. But how else, buy a car feels more urgent. If going home can still be later, or when lebaran. Now there is no urgent need in the village, so it feels no need to rush. Maish funds can be diverted for car purchase.
Moreover, if we go home later and can already tell the Jihan family that now we have our own house and car, they must be proud. Jihan's self-esteem also automatically rose because her husband was considered quite successful. Three years of work already have a house and a vehicle.
"Patience baby, this is for the good of us together as well "I whisper, while glancing at Jihan who is busy with Nabila and Nadira. I promise, if you already have money, it will immediately take you home. When should we buy your family a lot of gifts. We treat them wherever they want. Even though they're economically much richer than I am.
