A Handful of Love for a Uci

chapter 27

Uci widens the eyes. The girl did not expect herself to have an unexpected guest. A woman standing before his eyes was none other than Uci's own biological mother, Ms. Sumi.

"Mother?" sapa Uci was awkward as soon as he saw Bu Sumi who came without telling.

Ms. Sumi was still looking at Hengki. The middle-aged woman looked at Hengki closely. Sumi did not like to see Hengki's appearance, especially the vehicle carried by the man.

"When did mom arrive? Why didn't you tell me you wanted to come here?" ask Uci to Sumi.

Instead of responding to Uci, Ms. Sumi was still busy looking at Hengki. "Who is this?" ask Sumi to Uci.

"It's my mother!" whisper test on Hengki. Once he found out if the middle-aged woman was his future father-in-law, Hengki immediately greeted Sumi politely.

"Mom, introduce me to his friend Uci!" said Hengki while reaching for Bu Sumi's hand. However, the man had not had time to kiss Bu Sumi's hand, the middle-aged woman had already brushed off Hengki's hand.

"Oh, buddy?" cetus Bu Sumi while staring cynically at Hengki.

"Mom's been waiting here a long time?" tanya Uci tried to make small talk.

But unfortunately Bu Sumi's view is still focused on Hengki. Moreover, the middle-aged woman caught the closeness between Hengki and also Uci.

"This is your coworker?" ask Sumi to Uci.

"Mas Hengki work in a different place with Uci Bu," said Uci.

It seems like the trousers and t-shirts used by Hengki really disturb the scenery of Bu Sumi. "What do you work for? Work where?" ask Sumi to Hengki.

'Had managed to live in the city, instead of being a rich man, why would Uci even approach a kere man like this?' grumbled Bu Sumi in heart.

"I work at a carwash near here. I live in this area, therefore I can get to know Uci," replied Hengki as decently as possible.

"Where do you work?" asked Bu Sumi with a wide rounded eye bead. "Working at carwash?" ask Sumi again.

'God! Why would Uci hang out with a guy like this?' mum Sumi's growled in heart.

Uci began to feel bad when he saw his mother's unfavorable attitude to Hengki, plus the middle-aged woman also kept asking about Hengki's work. "It's night. Mom just go inside!" sahut Uci tried to end their brief conversation at the door.

But it seems like Bu Sumi still wants to interrogate Hengki further. "Just work in carwash alone, is it enough to live in Jakarta?" asked Bu Sumi in a dismissive tone. "How much do people pay for working at a car wash?"

Hengki began to catch the trivial words spoken by the middle-aged woman. Hengki also took a quick glance at the makeshift clothes he was wearing as well as his old motorbike. It's only natural that Bu Sumi thinks Hengki is just a cool guy who can't be expected.

"Mother! Don't talk like that!" scold Uci at Bu Sumi with a soft voice.

Fortunately, Hengki can control himself well. The man could still smile kindly, even though he was already taken for granted.

"I have a lot of side jobs. I also narik ojek. I also sometimes take odd jobs in cafes or stalls," said Hengki make Bu Sumi more furious.

"Freak job?" asked Bu Sumi with a look of condescending eyes.

Before Bu Sumi hurt Hengki more, the beautiful woman, who bears the status of a lover, immediately brought Bu Sumi to enter. "It's late, you go home first!" pinta Uci on Hengki.

"Mommy's not done talking to your friend!" sahut Bu Sumi was not satisfied to demean Hengki.

"Whose name are you? Are you here to contract too? Can you live in Jakarta with a job like that? Are you still supported by your parents?" ask Sumi again.

"You're just working at a car wash. Can't your parents be soldiers? The doctor? Or something?" ask Sumi.

Hengki still able to throw a smile. After all the man had also been quite often underestimated simply because of his outward appearance and his decision to live independently. Hengki also did not want to be proud of the property of his parents.

"I can still find halal sustenance here. And fortunately my income is very enough for living expenses while I am in Jakarta," said Hengki still want to serve Bu Sumi.

Hengki looks relaxed. However, Uci had already lost face.

"Yes, Mom! Let's just go in, shall we?" take Uci to Sumi's Mom.

"It's late, Mom! You better go home!" cetus Uci on Hengki.

Finally the conversation between Bu Sumi and Hengki was over. Hengki immediately said goodbye and left the rented residence Uci.

"Who was that? Is it really just friends?" mum Sumi's Nagging at the Uci. "You're hanging out with a poor guy like that?"

"Don't say that, Mom. Mas Hengki is very good at Uci. Mas Hengki also always helped Uci during this time. Please don't talk like that to Mas Hengki anymore!"

"Why can't you talk like that? You must have had more of a relationship with that young man earlier, right? Didn't you see the bike? The motor is old! Ugly! Can't you be a close friend of a richer man?" omel Bu Sumi's.

Uci could only remain silent. Rather than serving up Bu Sumi's scolding, it was better for the girl to immediately look for another topic to discuss.

"Mom why didn't you come here to say something?" ask Uci.

"Mom's been waiting for you since! What time is your job done? Why did you come home this evening?"

"Sorry, Mom! Uci did not know that there were guests at home. If Uci knew Mom was here, Uci would have come home soon, "Uci said.

"Easy! No need for a lot of reasons!" suhut Bu Sumi's.

Uci also accompanied Bu Sumi to relax for a moment, considering that her mother had just passed a long trip. "Mommy has eaten? Can I make you some tea?" fresh Uci.

"Mommy's hungry! I haven't eaten!"

Uci rushed to find something to entertain his mother who came from far away. When her mother visited, it was impossible for Uci to just buy her potluck food. The girl had to spend a little in order to buy a more appropriate dish to entertain the mother.

"Eat first, Mom! Sorry yes, there are many stalls that are closed," said Uci while offering a pack of rice and warm drinks that he obtained from a nearby stall.

"Mom came here alone?" ask Uci again.

While chewing food, Bu Sumi also informed the intentions and goals of the middle-aged woman until she came to the city of Jakarta to approach her daughter. "If there's no urgent need, I won't be here either!" timpal Bu Sumi's.

"Nothing bad happened at home, did it?" tanya Uci started to worry.

"Your father .... "

"Mother why, Mom? You're okay, right?" tanya Uci worried about the situation of Pak Bambang in the village.

"Your father is sick!" said Ms. Sumi.
