After the Rain

Reneges

A couple who are still young, look fun to choose items that are quite luxurious in an electronics store.

"We just buy this TV, Bang," said Mia while pointing to an LED TV with a size large enough.

"Do you like that one?" ask Raihan.

Mia nodded.

"Yes, just wrap it up," continued Raihan.

"Ish, Brother .. the rice is sitting, the package is all wrapped," whined Mia.

Raihan laughed at the whimper of his wife. "Yes dear. .. I mean Brother, yes we have bought that TV," answered Raihan clarified his speech.

Mia smiled spoiled. Her hands never slipped from her husband's waist. "Eh, we bought a fridge too, Bang. Let's stock up on groceries. Mother's house, 'will be very far from the stall," continued Mia.

Raihan frowned. For a moment he thought about the remaining money selling the albasia tree. His mother said Raihan had to set aside the money to pay Yandri a loan.

"Buy the refrigerator later, baby, fear the money is not enough" replied Raihan.

"That money is left over, Bang. If you buy a refrigerator later, not necessarily we can discount. Oh, look at me!" Point Mia at the electronic goods promo banner installed above, "the goods again promo, right?" continued Mia.

Raihan saw the price of the refrigerator. The discount is quite tempting, but Raihan does not want to break his promise to the mother.

"Later on, Mi. After you have another job," whispered Raihan.

Mia's once cheerful face, instantly turned wry. Without saying much, Mia stepped out of the electronics store. Raihan was after him.

"Honey, where are you going?" ask Raihan.

"Let go! Mia wants to go home," answered Mia, throwing her husband's hand.

"But the TV hasn't been paid yet, Yang," Raihan said.

"Bodo ah, Mia did not buy a TV, replied Mia ketus. His face began to turn red, his two eyes were already dewy.

Finally Raihan gave up. "Well, we buy the fridge too."

Mia wiped away the tears in both corners of her eyes. His smile came back. A second later, the young couple re-entered the electronics store again to pay for the items they had long sought.

In the afternoon, Yandri invites Daniar to visit his mother's house. In addition to being in touch, Yandri also wanted to ascertain the news he heard from his wife. Daniar said, according to Mr. Agus, the albasia tree lined next to his mother's house had been sold a few days ago. However, until now his mother has not come to repay the loan.

However, Daniar subtly rejected her husband's invitation. The star's body temperature is slightly warm. Moreover, Daniar was lazy to meet his sister-in-law. Since the incident the other day, Daniar was still upset by Habibah's attitude which immediately brought a girl to his place. And more upset Daniar, she knew the girl who was recognized as the ex-lover of her husband. Since then, Daniar has always kept his distance from Habibah. Luckily Daniar was out of his mother-in-law's house. If not, I don't know what will happen to him and his brother-in-law.

"Yes already, if indeed Mother does not want to come, let Father alone go," said Yandri.

"Yes, Dad. Sorry, Mother can not nemenin. You see, Mother is afraid the stars will get hotter if taken out," replied Daniar.

"Yes, it's okay, Bun. Then, Dad go first. Mother be careful at home," replied Yandri.

"Yes, Dad," Daniar said. "Well, if you can, please make sure that the money gets carried away this afternoon. The tour bus has asked about its DP money. They said that if until next week we don't pay for it, the bus we ordered will be handed over to another tenant" Daniar continued.

"God willing, Bun. I'll try" replied Yandri.

After that, Yandri came out of his room. He then set foot towards the back gate of the school. Yandri deliberately passed a shortcut so that he could soon arrive at his mother's house.

Ish, are they working together to cover all this from me? inner Yandri.

Yandri took his breath. No Yan, don't suudzon just yet. Who knows, they are so busy that they can't see you soon. Yandri returned to the monologue to console himself.

Arriving at his mother's residence, Yandri was slightly stunned to see another scene beside the mother's house. Hmm, what Pak Agus said is indeed true. All the albasia trees planted by the late father, who originally lined up neatly next to the house, are now gone. It looks like the tree has sold.

"Assalamu'alaikum!" yandri through the back door.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Miss Maryam who was in the kitchen.

Yandri opened the door and entered. A moment later he kissed the back of his mother's hand and sat down in front of Maryam.

"Healthy, Mom?" ask Yandri.

"Yes, this is how Mom is, Yan. Said to be healthy, yes Mother's head still often feels pain. However, it is said to be unhealthy as well, yes Mother is forced to nourish herself. There are many people I have to take care of" replied Miss Maryam.

"Indeed, who are you going to take care of? In this house, there was only one child, Rizal his son Bibah. Children the age of Rizal mah, fate can be arranged, Mom," said Yandri.

Miss Maryam flinched. Hmm, you don't know just Yan, if every day Mother has to take care of all the needs of your sister with her wife, the Inner Lady Maryam.

"Oh yes, Mom. By the way ... Yandri did not see the albasia tree next to the house. Has the tree been sold?" ask Yandri

The deg!

Miss Maryam was very surprised to hear Yandri's question. Now, he could not give any more excuses. Yandri already knew if the tree was sold. Then, what should he say if Yandri asks about the money he borrowed the other day.

"Mom, how dumb?" asked Yandri who was surprised to see the look on his mother's face

"ye-yeah, Yan. The trees are sold" replied Maryam, nervous.

"When?" Yandri asked, confirming the words of the wife.

"A week ago," said the noble Miss Maryam could master her nervousness.

"Lantas, why don't you immediately return the savings of the children?" ask Yandri again.

"Mother ... Mother ... Emh, mom ..." Miss Maryam was unable to answer Yandri's question.

Suddenly. The sound of a car trying to park, was heard clearly from the front of Miss Maryam's house.

"What's that, Mom?" ask Yandri.

"Come on," answered Maryam.

"Yes, let Yandri see," Yandri said as he headed towards the living room. Arriving at the door, Yandri was stunned to see Raihan who was driving the parking lot of a box car.

"Yes, sip Bang!" raihan shouted while giving his two thumbs up.

The car engine is also dead. The driver poked his head from the window. "It's down now, Bang?" tanyakanya.

"By, Bang. Yuk, I'm helping!" sahut Raihan's.

Yandri noticed Raihan's movements from inside the house. His heart was pounding when he saw the items removed from the box car. Instantly, both of Yandri's hands clenched at the sight in front of his mother's house.

So, this is what made you unable to answer my question earlier. Ish, did mom really intend to break her promise?
