Kinanti arrived at the tiny house but the yard was quite spacious.
Again he saw dried leaves scattered, it was always a sign that his mother was sick and could not clean the house.
He knocked on the door, though,
but the one who opened the door was Joseph, the beloved and closest cousin.
His face looks bad, even impressed annoyed.
" Bulek just slept, don't disturb" said Yusuf flatly, he looked really unfriendly.
" Sit down first, I want to talk to you" Yusuf told Kinanti, who had not even put her bag down.
He said that he was sitting not far from Joseph.
" When do you want to leave your mother like this?!" Joseph pressed his voice, he wanted to say louder, he was very upset to see that his cousin's brother had more work than your mother's.
" You mean what Suf? you think I left mom on purpose?" Kinanti did not believe Joseph's emotion-clad words.
" Then what? try telling me? you want to be a PNS, right?
who are you after that for? your mother, don't you want her to be proud of you?
isn't that..?
instead of pursuing your ideals to make mom happy,
you're not accompanying him..
you chose to teach at a good, distant school,
where is your intelligence and understanding as a child?
what if you find out that mom suddenly doesn't exist?! in the midst of your determination to pursue your desire that is not necessarily that?!
how big is your mind compared to your mother??" firmly Yusuf.
" My heart hurts so much to see a sick man alone like this,
you are a woman.Where is your sensitivity? even though the bulek said he was fine and always told you to go back to the boarding house don't you dakan! in this world there is no mother who will prevent her child from reaching for his ideals even though he himself is lonely and hurt!"
Joseph's eyes glazed with glass, his heart was sore, his feathers were indeed a strong figure for him, after his son left, soon after his husband followed.
And now the only daughter is just focused on pursuing her own desires, so that her dog has to live alone every day.
He may be lonely, but he never complains.
" I'm talking like this so you don't regret it, it's up to you to be mad at me!
how many more years do you have to spend out there? until what age should the barracks wait for you? you see, he's getting older, even he's getting unhealthy by the day!
he was even younger than my mother, but even the Caucasian who looked older because his mind was full! he thinks of your future that cannot be set!
can't you just let your mind calm down once?!
fulfill his wish in old age!" Joseph wiped his tears, his face crimson withstanding the annoyance at Kinanti.
While Kinanti, his mouth could have answered Joseph's sentence, he could also find a defense for himself, he said,
but. never mind..
he was guilty of abandoning his sick mother.
" What does Suf's mother want..?" asked Kinanti in a soft voice, he really did not have the energy to argue with Joseph, and maybe Joseph had talked a lot with his mother, so Joseph knew what his mother really wanted.
" Don't refuse another marriage! choose a good man and get married before the bullek dies!" yusuf's insistence made Kinanti freeze.
That woman can't say anything.
He was really silent, only heard his heavy breathing which was several times.
" that's all you can do for now if you want to make your mom calm..!" yusuf.
Before long Joseph took his cigarette, burned it and smoked it, as if to suppress his feelings of disappointment in Kinanti, and drove his anger far away.
" I don't forbid you to teach, because it's your world, at least move around here, work while watching the bulek,
the working hours of a teacher are not until the afternoon,
I will support you in any case, but no longer leave the bulek alone..!
if you're still teaching there, though,
don't blame me for not considering you a brother,
because you ignored my advice..!" Firmly Joseph with annoyance that began to slowly subside.
Kinanti sat beside her mother's bed, looking at her sleeping mother.
Now after thinking..
naturally Joseph was angry with him, his mother he began to age, and should be waited for every day.
What if you arrive when you fall while cooking or to the bathroom.
Who will help him while Joseph is not at home.
" Joseph said." muttered Kinanti, he indeed had to find a school closer to home.
What is the meaning of his mind compared to the health and comfort of his mother,
even though he had to start from scratch back at a new school, it didn't really matter.
Not even being a PNS does not matter if the mother is healthy and long life.
Suddenly his mind opened after being angered by Joseph and seeing the condition of his mother.
Not even being a teacher was okay now for him, as long as his mother did not leave him.
What is it to him if he lives alone in this world..
he does not want to be a kara.
" Healthy nggeh bu.." his voice softly resisted the tightness of the nelangsa.
Two days passed, Kinanti had yet to return to school,
it was already Friday, so it was better that he would return Sunday and submit his resignation, he thought.
He remained silent at home while taking care of his mother, cleaning the courtyard and the small garden beside his house.
" Srakk. srakk..!" the sound of a broomstick rubbing against the ground and dried leaves.
It was late in the afternoon, and the too cool clean Kinanti had not even taken a shower.
" Waduh... diligently..?" a male voice sounded,
Kinanti instantly stopped her busyness and searched for the origin of the sound,
It turned out that Tyo was standing in front of a fence that was rarely in that lock.
" Mister Tyo?" Kinanti was surprised by the visit of his friend, he hurriedly put his broom, he was a little embarrassed by himself who was wearing shorts and t-shirt the oblong, and had not yet taken a bath, somehow apparently.
" Get in, sir." said Kinanti letting Tyo in and sit in the living room,
" Where is his mother? healthy already?" ask Mr. Tyo put a tote bag containing cake typical of the city.
" I want to bring fruit afraid not to eat, so I bring cake alone." said the man berparas sweet.
" Oh sir, njenengan bothered. mother has been mengingan, but mother is not strong to chat for long.."
" it's okay.the important thing is that I'm happy to hear it.." Tyo smiled.
" Em.. Tyo sir, it does not feel appropriate for me to talk with conditions like this, can I take a shower for a while? is Mr Tyo waiting?"
" oh. yes yes, I wait, all waiting for magrib" said Tyo.
No longer waiting for Kinanti to go inside, he immediately took a shower and changed his clothes with trousers and longer-sleeved shirts.
Dark blue pants and white t-shirt, white,
Kinanti tied up her waist-length hair to make it more tidy.
Wearing a little moisturizer so that the skin is a little fresh and not dry, do not forget he wears lipstick with a natural color, almost similar to the color of the original lips.
" Old, sir? sorry..." Kinanti came out with a drink and some pastry jars.
" Well, I guess I'll just bother you.."
" ndak bothered sir. bothered what.. monggo in drinking.." Kinanti reviewed the smile.
" I'm up sir. monggo if you want to say hello to me, but in the room.." please send me Kinanti, then immediately Tyo got up and tailed behind Kinanti.
Arriving in front of the room, Tyo's mother greeted her, talking a little, not much..
tyo prayed for the health of his mother.
Mother welcomed Tyo's sentence, but unfortunately mother can not talk for too long because her views often revolve.
Finally, Tyo who felt that he had been visiting for too long said goodbye, precisely from 5 to 7 pm.
" Then I say yes ma'am.me see you at school." said Tyo as happy to see Kinanti.
" Yes sir, thank you for visiting my mother." said Kinanti returned a smile Tyo.
