Don't Touch Me

People's Thinning

Rumi's mother, who had expertise in making various cakes, now returned to her activities after she felt that her body condition had completely improved. It's just that, now he should not feel too tired because it will have a bad effect on his kidney condition.

"Finally, it's over, Mom, for all the cookies, hee." Cindy said, wiping off the sweat on her forehead, when Cindy came to Rumi's house early in the morning to help the woman.

"Yeah Cindy, it's because you've helped me. If you do not help, it may be finished much longer.." said Rumi's mother with a smile, then put each cake made into a special box in the place of food that He has prepared.

"Then you rest now, just sleep in Mom's room. I'm going to the bathroom first, too.."

"Yeah, Mom." Cindy replied, who immediately got up from her seat, then walked toward Mother Rumi's room to just lay down her body which is now very easy to feel tired.

After finishing everything, Cindy and Rumi went to a market not too far from where she lived to sell her cakes. But along the way, people who saw Rumi's mother whispered directly about Andre who is currently in prison for hitting a woman, namely Risha..

"Don't listen to them, Mom." Cindy said to Rumi's mother who looked sad to hear people's sneers about her son, Rumi's mother who heard Cindy's words just smiled and nodded her head. Both of them also speed up their steps, to be able to get to the ojek base. And from there, they will go to the market by riding an ojek.

Seeing the exhausted Cindy, Rumi's mother immediately invited Cindy to rest for a moment. "We just rest for a while here, it looks like you're tired, Cindy." said Rumi's mother while handing over a bottle of drinking water.

"You drink first, Cindy.."

"Yes Ma'am, thank you." said Cindy, then sipped a few times the drinking water in the bottle that He held.

"Has mother always been to the market on foot..?" ask Cindy..

"Iyaa Cindy, actually could have been riding an ojek. But I thought, it's better that the money used to pay for the ojek I just keep it.."

Said Rumi's mother who made Cindy feel very sorry, because all this time he was so wasteful in terms of using money. Maybe because when he was with Risha, whatever his wishes were always fulfilled. Makes Cindy less able to appreciate the name money.

"But now we will take the motorcycle, because I don't want you to get tired." said Ms. Rumi..

"Yeah Ma'am, let's go to the market now." Cindy, and the two now approach the taxi driver who looks like many are waiting for his prospective passengers there.

"Our tally both went to the market, sir, but slowly brought the bike because she was pregnant with my granddaughter." said Rumi's mother to one of the motorcycle taxi drivers who will deliver it to the market.

"Ready Ma'am, take it easy..!" the man said with a smile and invited Cindy to immediately sit in the back.

Arriving at the market, Cindy immediately helped Rumi to bring some boxes of cakes that were still held by Ms. Rumi. "Here ma'am, let me help you." Cindy said..

"Because the cakes made by Mother are delicious, I also like it, Mom.." said Cindy who today will accompany Mother Rumi to sell cakes in the market.

Cindy has helped Rumi's mother repeatedly make cakes at her house, and during that time Cindy knows that the people there are still talking about Rumi and Andre's mother. This also makes Cindy finally feel furious, because the cause of the scorn and words of the people made Rumi's mother to think and fall ill.

"We go to the doctor, ma'am, let my mother's pain heal quickly.." invite Cindy who deliberately came to see the condition of Mother Rumi who two days is not feeling well.

"Not Cindy, it will heal itself. After all, just a fever and a regular headache, just taking stall medicine is enough.." said Rumi with a pale-looking face.

"Mom got sick like this must be because of the talk of the people here, right, Mom..? They do not have a job, they like to talk about other people's life problems." Cindy said while clucking annoyed.

"Actually I don't want to care and think about it, it's just that sometimes the thought and sadness come by itself. At the end of the day, I have a headache of my own." said Rumi's mother, who still feels pain in her head.

"Yes Ma'am, I can understand. How about you just move out of this house, then live somewhere else." said Cindy who did not want Mother Rumi to continue to be the talk of people around her place.

"That doesn't need to be Cindy, I can still hang on with all the talk from the people. After all, this house is the only one I have.." said Rumi's mother..

At that instant the atmosphere became silent, both of them were busy with their respective thoughts. Cindy who felt sorry for Mother Rumi did not know what to do to help her, but on the other hand She also could not let Mother Rumi in such a state continuously.

"You don't have to worry and think about Mom, I'll be fine, Cindy." said Ms. Rumi who could see Cindy's anxiety on her.

"Yes Ma'am, everything will be fine. Now that I'm getting some rest and getting well, I want to go home first.."

Cindy immediately shook Rumi's hand, then got up from her seat. "You be careful on the road, Cindy.. Take good care of yourself and your content." said Rumi's mother while smiling bitterly.

There is a feeling of sadness that now creeps in him, considering how his fate is now that is much different from his previous life. Moreover, now he has to fight hard as a person himself to meet his needs, without the help of Andre again. Luckily he met and knew Cindy, who had helped him so much.

"I have to stay strong, I will definitely be able to get through this for the sake of my grandchildren later." muttered Mother Rumi inwardly as she rubbed her tears that had been flowing since, before, then smile meaningfully...

Seriate..
