AFTER YOU BETRAYED

09 About Mr. Anwar and Bu Farida (3)

still pov Anwar

In spirit I carry rice on my shoulders, for me to deliver it to SUMBER REJEKI store. Thank God I finally got a call today, can be made to eat today.I always try to save money, eat in the shop was never neko neko, because I was aware of my work. It's the third month I've arrived in this city, and I haven't gotten a decent job. I don't know how many job application letters I have sent to various factories or companies, said tell me to wait, but until now there has been no call.

"Assalammualaikum Ma...!!" I shouted as soon as I reached the entrance of the shop.

"Wa alaikum salam..! " said a woman from inside, and I saw the shop owner's mother rushing out to me. "directly, just bring in son Anwar, put it in the usual place yes..!!" tell him , and I go in immediately , I left my butut sandals in front of the tiled porch and hurried to bring the rice that I shouldered towards the living room near the fridge.

"It's in the rice field as usual, ma'am..??" I asked, I already understand because it has served this mother several times to bring rice from the market.

" Well, that's in staying for two days maybe" he replied, I opened the lid of the rice which was only a little. I poured the contents into a small tub that was available near the place of the rice, then I opened the sack of rice that I just bought earlier and I poured rice into it , then I put back the rice that lives a little at the top, the goal is so that the rice left over the old stock is cooked first. after I finished folding the sack of rice and I put it next to the place of the rice.

"This is the change, ma'am, !" I poured out fifty thousand dollars left on him. Well at that time the price of a sack of rice weighing twenty-five kilos was still one hundred and fifty thousand, whether now, now, if my wife ever told me she said two hundred and twenty-five thousand.

"Take him for his pelvis for Anwar..!!" said

"wow I have no change, ma'am, this happened to be the mother of my first customer, so I have not been able to charge another fare" I said honestly

"Don't wear change" he said again

"Well, don't be ma'am. It's just a rice lift close to the market.!" I feel bad, because if I just lift the usual rice I only get ten thousand wages

"No papa son.kan earlier also nak Anwar has helped me and also my son..!"

"Well, ma'am, I'm sincere, if I'm given this money then I can't get the reward ma'am." I replied, the mother laughed at hearing it.

"I'm also sincere son. oh yes this come while drinking coffee..!" this is different from the mother who until now I do not know his name, always presenting me coffee if I send goods to his place.make me so condolent, because if in other people's places usually the goods only go down in the emperan only then in the same enter the owner of the house, so I immediately leave after receiving a wage that sometimes does not match , but if you want to refuse also I'm afraid he offended. "this is either nagasari, it was my own lo this, let's try it.!" He even thrust a plate of snacks wrapped in banana leaves at me.

Inevitably I also tasted it, there is a sense of hesitation if I do not take even one, enough to wedge the stomach, maybe God knows I had not had time to buy breakfast, but not yet, that's why I brought this mother to me. "Alhamdulillah." I said thankfully in my heart.

"Son Anwar was at home as a hip porters ..? not heavy ..?, no intention to find another job..? I see Anwar is very young, just graduated from school..?" he asked in between his busy schedule arranging groceries that I saw maybe not from the market but from the super market.

"Yes actually want to look for another job, but have applied to work in a factory where there has been no call at all. "answer, while drinking coffee is still a bit hot.

"This is sorry you know son Anwar before his.., if for example son Anwar I ask to take care in my store Nak Anwar would not ??" frankly I was surprised to hear that, he just offered me a job?? is this really what I hear

"Sorry ma'am I may have misheard, I mean my mother works at the mother's place ..?" my question is to convince myself. He smiled at my disbelief

"Ohh.. no no. .. I'm happy Mom.., but it's true I can work at mom's shop ..?" I still can't believe it

"Yes if Anwar boy can I want to ask my son Anwar to teach my son to learn, later I add , count another wage.. how . ??" I'm increasingly gawking in disbelief.maybe my face is red because of joy.

"Ah yes Ma'am, want to. I want to Bu.., but if you do not teach me I do not know what can not ma'am.because I just graduated High School ..!" My answer.

"Mas Rendy's school is still in elementary school, yes I believe son Anwar certainly can..!"

"I'll try Ma'am, but don't count Ma'am.. who taught me to learn, right I'm not a professional tutor..!??" I'm ashamed of shame

"Yes already . important son Anwar already agreed, other things can be discussed later." he said. " Oh yes... Where does Anwar live..? can't you if Anwar sleeps here..??" haggard.O Lord for whatever sake, this is like a durian crucifixion taste, sweet sweet delicious.

"Oh my God, is this the answer to my prayer, which is confused about having to pay rent for a few more days.?" . I feel like God is intentionally the mother to me

"You don't want Anwar..? behind there is an empty room, so if Anwar wants, I am no longer confused if for example later want to go home..??" I still half-believe what I received today, what a wonderful plan you God have

" Yes ma'am of course I want to.." Answer excited.

"Ok if that's the deal, starting today son ..!!"

"Anwar alone Ma'am. "cut me so that the mother does not include the word *nak* in each of her calls.

"Ah yes already .. Anwar if there is breakfast first to the kitchen, after that I will teach you in the store. !" he said, I spontaneously prostrate gratitude, no matter even though the mother was surprised to see me.

"Alhamdulillah O Allah...

thank you Mom, thank you for giving me a job and a place to live..!!" I shook and kissed his hand.

"I'm sorry Mom, I accidentally touched my mom's hand, I reflex just like that because it's too happy" I said honestly, I was a little scared after touching her hand.

"It's okay my son is also ordinary like that, "he replied, of course it's different in my mind. because I'm just a stranger who has just been helped.

"Oh yes, my name is Farida, you call me mother only..!!" he said, I nodded in agreement. After that he took me to the kitchen, to eat, at first I doubt, because at the table, it looks very wahh, ' he said, am I going to eat a table with him and his son who was there drinking chocolate milk. but he said that it was common for his employees to eat one table with the employer. He never distinguished the status of a person, very noble, made me more amazed at the mother I finally knew named Farida's mother
