BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT BEAUTIFUL

69. Drops

"Mbak Tati, we go to the boutique first yes, from there directly to the mall" said the mother, on Tati's mom who was in charge of driving the car, while me and mom sat in the back seat.

Along the way, I prefer silence. Talk only when asked by the mother because it feels like the body is still sore after running one around the complex field. Something I've never done before.

In front of the boutique. Two servants accompanied us to look at our clothes. They deftly serve all the questions of the mother. Something that I never get every shopping in a store. Maybe because the store I went to was not a big boutique or because I was not a gold member holder in the boutique.

Maybe my mom and I were in the shop for an hour. We were just about to come out with five tentacles of mother's clothing of choice for me.

"Mother." Monika Ariella, the girl is already in front of mom. Politely he kissed the back of his hand.

"Monika, do you want to shop?" ask mother.

"No, ma'am, just take a walk. Wanna throw it away." said Monika, with her graceful style. "Eh, I'm with Rara." Monika immediately greeted me.

"Yes. Mother was looking for a nice dress for Rara" said the mother, smiling kindly.

"Did Rara like to shop here too?" monika's question is satirical. Maybe because he judged that I would not be able to shop in a boutique this expensive.

"It's only been this once." I answered honestly, as is the truth.

"Oh my goodness, even though the clothes here are good, as much as the price. Isn't it Mom?" monika.

No matter how good the shirt is, if it doesn't fit the bag for what? Just imagine, the price of one twin is equivalent to half my salary a month, there are even more. Only to be used. If I had to use my money, maybe I would never come here.

"If according to mom, good clothes do not depend on who is wearing. It is not a cheap or expensive issue. So far, the clothes that Nak Rara wears are always appropriate. Nice and polite clothes. It is important to close the aurat. Maybe that's one of the things that makes Ken like Rara. Yes, Rara's boy?" ask mom while smiling at me.

"Ahh mother." I'm so embarrassed to hear mom's flattery just now. But not with the hyacinth-looking Monika hearing the mother's rebuttal.

"Eat him, Monika must also learn to be able to dress neatly. His clothes were nice, covered and loose. But baby, now it's over again. Her veil also had her chest. Come on, lengthened again to be as beautiful as ever.

If you should do something it is not because of something, but it changes because of God so as not to be easily affected by the condition. So nak Monika." said the mother, so the more blind Monika misbehavior because all-out satirized by the mother.

"Yes Mom. Monika is learning. Monika admitted now it is easy to futur, understand, Monika's condition is now completely unstable since Monika and Ken's relationship ended, there is no longer anyone who guides Monika." said Monika.

"Prophe Monika." Mom slapped Monika's shoulder gently.

"If you're happy, you'd love to go back to learning like you used to with Mom and Ken." pinta Monika.

"From the beginning, I actually did not agree Monika studied with Ken. Men and women should not just hang out. There are limits too. If you want to learn, it will be the same for Rara. I'm sure Rara's religious knowledge is better." Mom pointed a thumb at me. "How about Rara, ready to accept Monika as his student?"

"Rara is still learning, too" I replied.

"Mother, Rara's normal, not as good as I thought. Rara is also a lot of lack, so it complements each other with Ken." I said.

Our conversation continues along the way. Monika insists on wanting to come together so that the mother is difficult to resist. I who only accompanied my mother could not do anything even though we actually only wanted to walk together.

Along the way, Monika continues to familiarize herself with her mother back. While I only spoke when asked because my legs were already very sore, due to the exercise this morning.

"Realously looking for disease. Already know do not like sports but even maxain themselves!" I can only hide.

I don't know how many shops we went to. Mother's groceries also keep growing making me really tired. I can no longer follow. When the body felt the environment, before falling back down, I could hear Monika again say my name.

Brucks. I finally fell to the floor and was unconscious for the second time in a day.

The smell of eucalyptus oil stings in the nose. Slowly, as I opened the am, there was a shadow of the mother's face. He looked worried while holding my hand tightly.

"Son Rara is awake?" ask mother.

"Mom" I tried to get up, but was held back by my mother because my body was still too weak.

"Just rest Ra, don't move much" said Monika with her caring style, whether it's right from the heart or just because there's a mother.

"So Rara passed out, and we brought her here. Fortunately, there is a clinic in this mall. Mom was calm. Because the doctor said that Rara was okay, there was nothing to worry about, just tired. Should have said, if it is not able to walk so that we go home. Must be son Rara tired ya ngikutin mom. Sorry my man, sometimes shopping likes to forget the time" said the mother at length.

"Yes, sorry Rara is also ma'am. Rara we were nothing." I said.

"Son Rara's not used to the old road huh?" ask mom again.

"It's not because it's ma'am, maybe because it's exhausted from sports too porsir." I replied, timid.

"Yes my. Nak Rara, if you can't do it don't be forced. I won't be angry." said Mom.

"Yes Ra, if you relax. Mother is the best in-law. Just like our own mother." said Monika. "So when you fainted I was worried about Ra, I thought you were pregnant, it wasn't. Hehe."

"Son Rara and Ken are newly married. Not a month yet." said mom.

"But there are you, whose content is fertile, immediately so." added Monika again. "If you don't have a problem, right, Ra? Your condition is fine, right? Ken is the only boy, don't be ...." Monika hung her words so as to make the look of mother's face pout.
