The moon banged the bike back home. Arriving at home storing bicycles on the edge of the stage house. Months later to the kitchen, after saying greetings from the front but no answer. He pushed the door not in the key.
"Mom" Months back heard the rustling of water in the bathroom.
"You've come home, son, for a moment, yes" said Fatimah who was on duty.
The moon does not say so take a glass pouring water from a plastic mug, then gulp it down after sitting down. To wet his throat that feels dry, because almost all day scraping the bike.
"Alhamdulillah." he said then opened the hood of saji. Moon take sopotong tempe fried flour, then eat it.
"Mother's son is hungry?" Fatimah smiled when she found her daughter chewing. Beliu sat down opposite his daughter.
"Yes ma'am, this afternoon did not eat," he said on the sidelines chewing.
"Astagfirlullah. don't like to be late to eat the Moon" said Fatimah. "Find money, but do not neglect your health" Fatimah reminded.
"Now you eat" Fatimah was eager to serve her daughter.
"Don't Mom, Moon take it alone" Moon took the plate from Fatimah's hand and ate it with gourmand. These days the Moon cannot resist hunger.
"More huh?" Fatimah smiled as she looked at the moon eating a mouthful of food until the toilet.
"No ma'am, thank God I'm full, I eat a lot of things, Mom's cooking is always good" said Moon.
"Where were you going?"
Deg.
The moon did not answer the atmosphere became silent. He was stringing up the words he wanted to tell his story today, but he was confused as to where to start.
"How did you sell today? smoothly," Fatimah felt something strange on the Moon, like something was in mind.
"Anu Ma'am," the Moon smiled bitterly. He took a breath before finally telling a story.
"What's wrong, it seems like there's something you're hiding from Mom right," Fatimah was impatient.
"All my merchandise is gone, ma'am, while I was praying, someone took it," the Moon's face turned pale.
"Lost?" Fatimah surprised. And only on the Moon. The moon told me everything. About the insinuations of people too.
"O Allah, son," Fatimah threw a look of pity. The net is full of tears.
"Don't weep Ma'am, maybe this is not our sustenance, if we are sincere God willing, we will get more," the Moon grasped Fatimah's hand.
"You're right, son," Fatimah shrunk her tears.
"Mom, I have a plan" said Moon. Talking about other problems.
"What plan, son, to sell again? I don't think it's necessary, son," stop Fatimah.
"No, ma'am, but I'm going to Jakarta,"
"To Jakarta?" cut Fatimah. I don't agree!" fatimah. "Mother will not be far from you, Moon. You have the heart, leave Mom here alone" Fatimah came back crying.
"Mom, with us going there, who knows if I can meet Bang Tara, rather than here continue I'm not comfortable Mom, always in the neighbor's banter," Moon wants to avoid first, he said, at least so that the atmosphere of the village is calm, will only return.
"Of course we will be there both Mom, the Moon also does not want to be far from the mother," Moon stood round and hugged Fatimah from behind.
"The moon will find a job. Look ma'am, this is a job vacancy," the moon shows jobs plastered on the internet.
Fatimah caught a smile on her daughter's lips. Which for two months no Fatimah had seen. There was no other choice for Fatimah than to agree.
"Yes already. but I don't want to be idle. If you only graduate SMP, you can look for a job as well?" Fatimah used to work hard, certainly did not want to burden her daughter.
"Ok... that we think later deh, continue... if we get there later we want to live where?" Fatimah certainly thinks more mature because they do not have brothers in Jakarta.
"The moon will look for rent through the internet Mom, so that we are there later, not confused," Moon has thought carefully.
"Alright, but you're trying to find a job for Mom, son, you know. I don't feel at home if I'm unemployed" said Fatimah is indeed true.
"Okay, ma'am" the month closed the conversation.
********
The next day, the Moon came to the post office in the sub-district. Send job applications to all three places at once.
One week later.
"Mom... Mother.." exclaimed the moon from outside. After opening a package with chocolate covers that are between gojek services. The moon approached Fatimah in the kitchen cooking lunch.
"What's up, son?" Fatimah squinted at the Moon in joy.
"I got accepted for the job Mom, the day after the interview, tomorrow we leave yes," Moon excited. directly stuck to Fatimah's back hugging her tightly, sticking her cheeks spoiled.
Fatimah turned off the stove and looked back at her daughter. Fatimah thought the intention of the Moon would go to Jakarta, just because of a momentary emotion, but it turned out to be true.
"Is that so fast?" Fatimah widens her eyes.
"Yes Ma'am, if we leave tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will arrive, so the Moon can directly interview" replied the Moon.
"Indeed you don't cape, if you directly interview," there is a sense of worry on Fatimah's face. The long journey will be tired.
"The new interview ma'am, not necessarily accepted work as well. But the Moon anyway, hoping to directly work Ma'am," replied Moon reassured Fatimah.
"As for you son, I mean just pity you, if you are strong, Mother anyway, support only," Fatimah again relented.
"Keep on what kind of Mother's proposal?" Fatimah was enthusiastic.
"For the time being it has not been called by Ma, who is patient first. I'm going to propose not just one, but in three places" Moon said.
"Oh yes Moon, continue... who calls you now, what company in the field, then what part?" cecar Fatimah's. As a parent, you want your daughter to get a good job.
The moon was silent for a moment, weighing. If she is honest, the mother will not allow it. But if not honest, of course Moon not only lied to his mother, but also hurt the feelings of Fatimah.
"Month, why are you silent, where are you accepted for work?" Fatimah shakes the shoulders of the Moon.
"This time it's not in Mom's company, but rather caring for a disabled person," Honestly Moon.
"What?! fatimah's voice was slightly up.
"No! The moon! Mother does not agree! Caring for a disabled person is heavy, son, you will bathe, feed and..aahhh!" fatimah toilet.
"Moon knows Mom, at least let me try a month first, if it's going to be heavy. The moon will look for another job" Moon looked at Fatimah pleading.
"Geek! The moon's..." Fatimah looked at her daughter. The only daughter must take care of the disabled.
"Mother..if you help people, the reward is great, what else is caring for a disabled person, just calm down," Moon is sure of his decision.
Fatimah gave up, and they had lunch together. Finish eating. Months of rest in the room, before packing the clothes to be brought.
Moon opens a gallery to see the wedding Tara sent before leaving first.
"Abang. I'll look for you, hopefully we'll find you. God will not test his servant who does not strongly receive," Moon kissed softly the photo in the gallery then entered into the world of dreams.
