BETWEEN (TERMINAL ) GIWANGAN ~ BUBULAK

YOUR HORSE'S MOUTH

Of course rumors about Farhan's papal mutation were immediately spread in the village. Also about the service car that was pulled following expulsion from the official house, so now they have to find a house in the area to be contracted. Maybe because suddenly they are not ready funds to buy a house.

Ina and Ubaydillah looked for a house near the school to walk so Farhan's home was not too far away on foot.

The next week Farhan was in the school with his papa motorbike and if he came home later he would walk with the mother who now turned silent and did not dare to look at the faces of other pickers with a condescending look like old times.

“Loh Ma'am, where's the car? Walking distance.” Sindir some mothers when they saw Ina walking towards her rented house.

“Oalah Bu also nquatin new house already had to be expelled from the official house.”

“That's not your mouth harimau ya ma'am. Mom's power wasn't pounced on, but kicked. So what's so good about that one who likes to kick it? What Ma? Horse yes Mom. So your horse's mouth is.” Said some more mothers.

Others just laughed at the innuendo of mothers who already hated Ina so much.

Farhan's behavior, which Ina never properly educated, became more and more. Now he's more rebellious because what he wants is never fulfilled by his father and mother again. Ina must strictly hold her money because she must start saving to pay for the rented house the following year. He also had to start tightening his belt because his salary was minimal. Her husband was just a small clerk at a bank not to be the head of the unit anymore.

True as her husband said, it's still good her husband is not in-PHK. If in PHK would be embarrassed to return to their homes in Semarang. If now, relatives in Semarang no one knows he slumped in this village.

“Alhamdulillah yes Mas. Finally finished also the construction of our workshop,” said Fitri.

“Ya Ma. Alhamdulillah. Tomorrow as his study?” ask Yanto.

“That's all we have to do. We believe in God, but many strange things do not close our eyes. So must keep trying to use the help of the kiai.

There was no party at the opening of the new building or any other ceremony. Fitri and Yanto only invited Pak Kiai from Cilacap as well as from Solo to pray for the new building of the workshop they have permanently owned. Lunch was attended by all employees and family members.

The day goes by when it is time Tin who will pass SD. The exam is over, just waiting for the announcement. But because Timah students excel it turns out Tin got a scholarship at the best school in the city before there was a graduation announcement.

“Take a not Yes Mas?” ask Herie. The two of them were in discussion at Herry's fish pond.

“As of you. If you are steady you just say the same mother and Mas Yanto,” replied Herry. He was healing by fishing. If you want to consume, it will be directly serok.

“You think good is bad. Want to stay in this village school normally or you take the scholarship. But you moved to the house of Erlina's father and mother while they were here, that would definitely be the main reason for the thought of mother and mas Yanto.”

“But remember however that father and mother are not our biological parents. You can't disappoint them. We still have to uphold their good name. Because they are our lives becoming what they are now. If not, of course Mas Yanto is still upside down looking for food for us. You remind?” Herry recalls Erlinda and Suradi's roles in their lives.

If Yanto is not married to Fitri, he will still open a business, but certainly not as fast as when married to Fitri. Because when married to someone else Yanto still has to spend daily living costs for the nuclear family also bear the lives of his mother and two younger siblings.  Married with Fitri all that Fitri responsibility so that business savings Yanto quickly collected.

Plus because married to Fitri both Yanto sisters got their initial savings from Suradi.
