Responsibility

Sekarang saya ngontrak bu, biar tenang. Kasian istri saya, dijahatin melulu sama adek2nya. Ada aja yg diributin tiap hari, bikin penyakit istri saya kambuh terus. Gak baek buat anak2 juga, tiap ari liat ibunya dijahatin sodararanya sendiri. Biarin dah nambah biaya kontrakan, yg penting idup tenang.
Iya sabar aja Pak, yg waras ngalah aja. Nanti juga kena karmanya. Ngomong2 ngontrak berapa kamar Pak?
Lumayanlah bu, meski gak ada kamar tapi ada 3 ruangan. Ruang tamu, ruang tidur, dapur + kamar mandi. Kecil tapi ya dicukup2in dah buat berenam. Ntu aja sebulan 350 rebu, belon listrik 50 rebu, sebulan kira2 400 rebu.
(That's around 1/5 of his salary, and he still have to feed his wife and 4 kids, and pay their school fee, plus medicals for his wife who's not quite healthy... The other day his wife came to sell some cakes, but she carefully told us not to tell his husband. She said he forbid her to work or sell anything because she's not healthy, but she needs the money for her kids' school fee...)
