Chapter 14 The Death of Life 2
Marisda stood near Regina and her emotions exploded when she saw the plate she just bought break. "What the fuck?"
"Sorry, Mom. Marla was not intentional." Marla was trembling with fear.
"You too, Re. Marla was a little girl you told me to do the dishes, she still doesn't understand anything!"
"But, Mom-"
"Silence you are Marla! Get in your room now!" Marisda's orders.
Marisda's voice that caused a commotion made the entire house wake up and head towards the source of the sound.
"Is this Mom, yelling early in the morning? Shame on hearing the neighbors." scolded Marlon.
"Here, Regina. Dare to rumble the Marla finally broke the plate that I just bought, already know Marla has not understood anything!"
"Already, already. Shame to hear people." Marlon took Marisda into the room.
While Andra takes Regina into their room, Mely and Adrina resume Regina's work.
"Well, I want to go home to my mother's place now." sob Regina.
"Patience, Which. Do not take the heart of mother's speech, mother is so if there is a favorite item damaged. I hope you can understand mother yes, mother is actually good only she is not able to control her high blood disease if again crumpled." Andra persuaded.
Regina just kept quiet and kept sobbing.
"Partially if we go home now, I'm afraid I'll be offended." Andra again.
Andra held Algi who woke up from her sleep and left Regina still sobbing in the room. All day Regina just shut herself in the room, she was afraid to go out for fear of making another mistake.
The entire house seemed to be indifferent to his presence. They were busy burning fish outside and enjoying chalk with the rest of the family, only Andra who occasionally delivered food for Regina into the room.
That night, Marlon and Marisda called all of their children.
"Look. My mom and dad are moving to the village. Soon Mr. has retired, Mr. plans to open a workshop business in the village. And your brothers you bring, you move their school there" said Marlon.
Adrina was angry and crying, she did not accept her parents' plan to move to the village.
"Why should I move, why not open it here. Adrina doesn't want to be away from mom and dad." Adrina Protest.
"Father actually wanted to, but your mother insisted on moving to the village." said Marlon.
"Mother is bored here, mother misses the atmosphere of the village. Part of our house in the alley how to open a workshop." - timpal Marisda.
"Can, can rent a location on the side of the road or buy land on the side of the road for business." said Baldy.
"The retirement money is not how much, just enough to open a workshop" said Marlon.
"That's why you're collected tonight, your father's pension is just enough to open a business. For our transfer fee, I asked the three of you to bear it." said Marisda.
Regina who was in the room was sitting limp hearing Marisda's words. Because their debt of three million yesterday has not been paid off. Now, where did they have to get the money to finance the move for her in-laws.
"Where's the money, Mom. You know my salary is nothing" said Baldy.
"Otherwise Adrina, Mom. Adrina is not working, Adrina is just expecting a salary from Mas Angga." complained Adrina.
"Mom. Loans that were not paid off yesterday, Andra has to find money where." said Andra.
"Since when have you had debt, Ndra? You never made a debt, why now you have all the debts. Shame your wife, so tell her to learn how to manage money from Mely." Marisda Cecar.
"That's it, ma'am." scolded Marlon.
"I only have a savings of one million and three hundred, I can only help the rest I can not help anything" said Baldy.
"Where is enough money to move, to send goods via truck already five million more, not to mention for the cost of our plane tickets five because your grandmother also we bring." Marisda's upset.
"Why get on a plane, get on a boat is cheaper, ma'am." Baldy said.
"Yes, shame on the boat" said Marisda.
"Well how else, ma'am, we really don't have any more money." said Baldy who asserted by Adrina.
"Yes, your debt is still eight million. That's what I asked Ndra for the transfer fee later" Marisda told Andra.
Andra just kept quiet, she didn't want to argue with her mother. Although actually he is also confused where to find money.
"Mom, we're saying goodbye." Andra told Marisda the next day.
"Where are you going?" ask Marisda wonder.
"We're going to Regina's mother's house, ma'am. Maybe later we will go back to West Kutai from there do not stop here again" explained Andra.
Marisda quietly did not respond, she was busy with Baldy and Mely who also say goodbye.
"Mel, this is a gift for your mother. Say hello to your mother yes, sorry yes this is all I can love for souvenirs." Marisda handed over one large plastic bag filled with souvenirs.
"Oh, be careful. Don't forget your responsibilities, remember that." she told Andra then she was busy cradling and kissing Baldy's son.
Katarina immediately took Algi from Regina's sling when Regina just arrived in front of her house. He brought Algi into the house and immediately invited Algi to play with his other grandchildren.
Andra immediately rested in the room, because last night he stayed up while gathering with his extended family. Regina sat with her mother in the living room.
"Sir Nata hasn't come home yet, Mom." said Regina.
"Not yet, at best go home." said Katarina.
"How are you in-laws, healthy?" ask again.
"Healthy, Mom. Oya there's greetings from my in-laws to mother." Lying Regina.
"O yes, greetings" said Katarina sincerely.
"Where are your in-laws now, does he treat you well?" ask again.
"Yes, Mom. My in-laws are very kind, at first he was a bit indifferent to Regina but it's natural maybe he still hasn't accepted our mistakes. But, I am calm. Now it's no longer really, now he's good with Regina even he's very pampering Algi." said Regina lying.
"Thank God, Re. I was worried about your mother-in-law's attitude." said Katarina.
"Please calm down, Mom. I don't have to worry." said Regina.
"But you didn't lie to me." Katarina said.
"No ma'am, I trust Regina" asked Regina back.
"Re, if there's nothing not to hide, the story is the same mother" said Katarina.
"Duh ... kangennya same granddaughter grandmother." said Katarina while playing with Algi and Dion.
Regina sat down, I'm sorry, Mom. Regina had to lie to me."
Regina is moved by her mother's treatment of Algi. He hopes that one day his mother-in-law will be in her current position, playing around with Algi and loving Algi sincerely.
While at her in-laws' house, Marisda never touched let alone messed with Algi. Until they said goodbye this morning, he did not turn his head to Algi. While the children of Baldy and Adrina are always given gifts and carried here and there.
Regina does not expect any gifts, she only hopes that her in-laws can touch and kiss Algi even if only once.
