After the Rain

Pressure Demand Pressure

It has been almost two months Daniar occupied the house stage owned by Bik Nining. In the past month, Daniar somehow felt that her husband's family was getting brave to visit. It doesn't matter if they just want to play. However, there was always an unexpected end to every visit of his in-laws and in-laws. Over time, Daniar began to complain to her husband.

"Once in a while, Dad was firm dong with Bahar kang. Cook money almost every day. Continues, results he ngojeg in to manain? Kok to buy gasoline is still pinjem with Dad," complained Daniar after seeing his brother-in-law leave.

"Already Bun, just ten thousand of these. Don't think too much, you can get sick later" replied Yandri.

"Oh my goodness .. ten thousand if his pinjem is ten times, it is already a hundred thousand, Well. Ish, what the hell is this dad, really nice," grumbled Daniar, annoyed.

"Yes-yes, I'll try to talk to Bahar" said Yandri, trying to calm his wife.

"Don't try, Dad, but you have to! Let kang Bahar tuh no pleasure," asserted Daniar.

Yandri can only be silent and always be a loyal listener when his wife complains.

The sound of the neighbor's chicken began to crow. Faintly, Yandri heard a subtle knock on his doorstep. Yandri blinked his eyes and immediately woke up. For a moment, he sat down to gather his consciousness as well as ascertain his sense of hearing. Shortly after, a knock on the door was heard.

"Ish, who else came at dawn like this? Didn't I remind Kang Bahar the other day not to visit at this hour? Uuh, really can not be given understanding tuh people," snorted Yandri who was upset because his sleep clock was disturbed.

"Yes, one minute!" yandri shouted as the rhythm of knocking on his door sounded faster.

Yandri exited the room and immediately headed towards the front room to open the door. She was shocked to find her mother standing at the door.

"Mother?!" pekik Yandri, restrained.

"Yes, Yan. I'm sorry to disturb you at dawn" replied Miss Maryam.

"Yes, it's nothing, Mom. Please come in!" take Yandri to his mother.

Maryam took off her sandals. He then entered the stage house occupied by the child. Arriving inside, Miss Maryam sat on a hairy carpet that was always spread out in the living room.

Yandri followed his mother. A moment later, he sat down before Maryam. His forehead was slightly wrinkled as he looked at the look on Bu Maryam's face which looked puzzled.

"What's up, Mom? Why did you come to Yandri's house so early?" Yandri glanced at his wall clock, "the body is not yet, Mom," he continued.

"Sorry Yan, all night I can't sleep. Therefore, as soon as you know, I decided to come here, " replied Miss Maryam.

"Can't sleep? But why, Mom?" ask Yandri.

"You know, right, Joni's getting married soon?" ask Miss Maryam.

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, two more weeks, right?" answer Yandri.

Miss Maryam nodded.

"Want to?" ask Yandri again.

"Mother wants to give up for Joni's wedding, Yan," replied Miss Maryam.

Yandri. "Mom, why should I tell Yandri? If you want to fall, go ahead. Isn't Joni Mom's granddaughter too?" Yandri.

"The problem is, I don't hold any money at all, Yan," replied Miss Maryam.

Yandri was surprised, at once he could guess the purpose of his mother's arrival.

"If you don't have money, don't force yourself to donate. Yandri is sure, sister Sarah must understand the condition of Mother." Yandri tried to give advice to his mother.

"But I'm not good, Yan. Joni's father is dead. So, I feel like I have an obligation to pay for Joni's wedding. Yes, even though it is only two rupiahs," said Ms. Maryam.

"Yandri understands. But if our condition is not possible, yes we can what, Mom," Yandri replied.

Daniar who eavesdropped on the conversation of her husband and mother-in-law, immediately got out of bed. Learning from the past experience, her husband's firm attitude will soften if it continues to be urged by the mother's pity. Daniar joined her husband and father-in-law.

"Eh, there's Mom" said Daniar, ostensibly surprised by her mother-in-law's arrival.

"Yes, Bun. Mom came to talk about Joni's marriage" Yandri said.

"really? Do you want to take Joni too?" tanya Daniar pretended not to know the purpose of her in-laws' arrival.

"No, Bun. I want to donate to Joni's wedding expenses" Yandri continued.

"Oh, so. Hmm, reasonable anyway ... Joni, 'the mother's grandson too, '" replied Daniar.

"But the thing is, I don't have any money to donate" Yandri said.

Yandri shook both his shoulders.

"Don't tell me that I asked Kang Yandri to get the money" Daniar said.

Maryam was surprised to hear Daniar. No he denied if what Daniar said was true.

"Yes, Yan. What Daniar said is true. I'd like to ask you to find money for Joni's donation" said Miss Maryam.

Daniar smiled wryly. I guessed it, her mind.

"Niar was sorry, Mom. It's not that Niar was going to interfere in Mother's family affairs. However, Kang Yandri was her husband Niar, and Niar was entitled to know whatever Kang Yandri wanted to do. Mother herself, will know that Kang Yandri is just honorary, different from Nauval's brother who is a businessman. Why don't you just ask Nauval? Or at least, Mother's children, it's not just Kang Yandri. Why don't you try to ask your sons and daughters for a joint venture, the rest let us add later" Daniar suggested.

"Yes, Mom. What Niar said was true. We're a joint venture, let it all feel light" Yandri said.

"Hmm, you never seem to know how your brothers relate to money, Yan," complained Miss Maryam.

"Yandri knows Mom, but I have to try it first. Honestly, Yandri's financial condition is not the same as when Yandri was living alone, Mom. There are many responsibilities that Yandri must fulfill. Moreover, Yandri is currently attending S1 lectures. So Yandri had to skimp in order to se–"

"Mom doesn't want to know, Yan. Anyway the money should be there this afternoon as well. Five million and no less. Point!" ma'am Maryam replied as she moved from her seat.

"Mom, where are you going? Wait Mom!" yandri shouted

Brak!

Miss Maryam just slammed the door without looking back. He also left his son's house.

Towards the break, Daniar and his students were chatting in front of the class. They invite to play stars who are already good at chattering.

"Waduh-waduh, Dedek Bintang has been good at telling stories yes, now," said Bu Ovie.

"Eh, yes Ma'am. Now he's been actively chattering," replied Daniar.

"Oh yes, Miss Niar, called Ayesha in her room. He said there was something important he wanted to say" continued Ms. Ovie.

"Oh, all right, ma'am. I look for the Yandri kang first, want to leave the Star," said Daniar.

"No need, Mom. Star let me take care of it" said Ms. Ovie.

"Wow, so troublesome ma'am," Daniar said.

"No, Mom. Yes, you should leave immediately, it seems very important," continued Ms. Ovie.

Daniar nodded. He then went to the principal's room.

"Assalamu'alaikum!" daniar and his father knocked on the door

"Lake in!" ma'am Aisyah's orders. "Sit down, Miss Niar!" he continued shortly after Daniar opened the door and entered Bu Aisyah's room.

Daniar followed his superiors' orders. Not long after, Ms. Aisyah also sat in front of Daniar.

"This is Bu Niar, I deliberately called Bu Niar here to talk about something personal" said Bu Aisyah.

Daniar frowned, I don't know what his boss wanted to say. However, Daniar felt that if what was to be conveyed, it was not a pleasant news.

"Actually, what's wrong, ma'am?" Daniar ventured to ask.

"Does Miss Niar still intend to work here?" ask Ms. Aisyah.

Daniar is getting clueless. "What do you mean, ma'am?"

"Look at Niar's Mom. If you still intend to work here, please leave a Star to a nanny. Because this school is not a foster home. The existence of stars here, makes children unable to concentrate on learning. However, if you still bring the Stars, please return to your hometown!" ma'am Aisyah.

The deg!

Daniar's heart seemed to stop beating hearing the words of his superiors. There was no wind, no storm, suddenly the words of Ms. Aisyah broke the hearts of Daniar. Ish, what pressure is this? inner Daniar

"What does this mean, I'm fired?" ask Daniar.

"The choice is in Mom's hands. Please think carefully," replied Ms. Aisyah as she moved from her seat and returned to her seat.

"If there's nothing to ask, you can get out of my room."
