Edible Oil

Chapter 15 Life Cramps 3

"You're really sincere, Yang?" Regina looked at Andra sadly.

Andra just nodded slowly, then silent a thousand languages. It is actually heavy to release his favorite motorbike for sale. But because of the insistence of his mother he was forced to give up the motorcycle he bought by collecting the results of his sweat when not married to Regina.

"Just like this, Ndra? There's no pocket money for the road." Marisda protests when Andra hands over the money to her.

"Sorry, Mom. Andra only had that, and Andra was forced to sell Andra motorcycles" said Andra.

"What?! Your bike you sell? Jesus Andra! Where has your salary been all this time. In the past when your ATM mother who held your money always durable why now since married your money so drag this? Therefore, tell your wife that smartly make money do not waste being a person!"

Netra Regina condensed, her heart ached hearing Marisda's words. He could only be silent while holding back his tears that wanted to break, he did not want the whole family in the room to see his tears fall.

The entire Andra family gathered that night at the home of his parents Andra to release the departure of his parents who were going to his hometown in one of the cities on the island of Sulawesi.

The next morning at eight o'clock Andra's parents, Grandma, and the two Andra's sisters left for their hometown one by one Marisda hugging and saying goodbye to her family except Regina. He was still indifferent and did not respond too much to Regina. Eventually, Marisda stayed away from Regina for good.

However, even though Marisda has been away from Regina it does not make the household life of Andra and Regina calm. Instead, it makes Marisda more intense asking for money on Andra.

"Why are you, Yang?" Regina was confused to see Andra who was pensive on the terrace as if a burden was lodged in her head.

Andra took a heavy breath and exhaled lazily, "So Mr. Yang called."

"Continue?" regina said lethargic because she actually knew where the conversation was going.

"Father asked to be sent money, he said to buy workshop equipment" replied Andra.

"Didn't mom say yesterday that your pension money would be used to open a business so that all the moving costs are borne by you kids?"

Andra simply fell silent without being able to answer Regina, his wife.

"I don't disagree, Yang. But do you know for yourself our debt that was not paid off yesterday, so we have to what time we want to owe again?" Regina.

"Come on, Yang" said Andra lethargic.

And in the end they were forced to borrow more money to meet the demands of Andra's parents.

A month has passed since the move of Andra's parents to the village, never the slightest of his parents called to ask Algi news. Every sentence spoken or asked was just money, money and money.

Regina and Andra no longer live in the boarding house Regina, now they occupy the contract of former parents Andra. There are three cousins of Andra who live with them Mirna, Milka, Marvel.

Lately, Andra has changed a little bit, asking for money more often and being a little rude to Regina. Until one night, when Andra just came home from work he was angry for no reason to Regina

"It is appropriate that all this time shopping money is never enough or always lacking. It turns out you're a waste of being a person." Andra recalls.

"What the hell, Yang? Why is it so obvious to get angry?" ask Regina confused.

Andra paid no heed to Regina's confusion, she continued to air word for word of anger at Regina. And of course it makes Regina increasingly clueless with Andra's anger, and what mistakes he has made that make Andra angry. There was a fight between them that night.

The next day, when Andra had left for work Regina rushed to escape with Algi and went home to her mother.

"Lho. Where's Regina going?" ask Mirna astonishment.

"So, I'm not going home to Grandma Algi's house." replied Regina.

Regina simply smiled in response to Mirna's words and hurried away, Mirna and Andra's other cousins of course heard the quarrel that happened between them last night. Mirna stared sadly at Regina's departure and immediately contacted Andra.

Andra, knowing Regina's departure, rushes home to prevent her departure, but unfortunately, Andra's arrival is too late. Regina and Algi had already walked away.

Katarina who saw the arrival of Regina and Algi suddenly felt surprised.

"Lho. How come you two are? No more news." Katarina immediately retrieves Algi from Regina's sling.

"intentionally Mum. Algi wanted to give a surprise to Grandma." replied Regina.

"You're not lying, Re. Where is Andra? How come he's not coming, don't you guys fight?" search Katarina.

"No, Mom. Regina did deliberately come not to tell you, Regina wanted to give a surprise to mother. Andra's working again, she'll follow me." Lying Regina.

"Yes, already. You rest there, let Algi be with me."

Regina nodded, then rushed into the room.

"Sorry Regina had to lie to mom, Regina does not want to make mom sad." Regina in the Heart.

In the evening, Katarina plays with Algi while Regina is still locked in the room. His mind was still confused thinking about his quarrel with Andra and the change in Andra's attitude that was often angry for no reason.

"Oh, just a little while left already followed by Dad."

Regina was surprised to hear her mother's words, she rushed out of the room to confirm it. Regina immediately approached Andra and picked up the backpack she was holding while whispering.

"Please don't tell me anything, nobody in this house knows anything about our problems."

Regina went back into the room to put down the bag, while Andra was still sitting in the living room and chatting with Katarina. Regina came back and brought warm tea for Andra.

"You don't work, Ndra?" ask Katarina.

"It just so happens that tomorrow Andra's off, Mom. So this afternoon after the break Andra permission to continue to come down here to pick up Regina, Regina said to miss the mother until no patience waiting for Andra off" said Andra.

Katarina laughed, "Re ... Re, you're like a kid."

"Regina misses mom, Algi too." replied Regina spoiled.

"That's your reason, Re. When do you guys get back to Kubar?" ask Katarina again.

"Lusa, ma'am." answered Andra.

"Yes, already. You rest first, you must be tired of traveling long distances. I also want to rest." said Katarina.

"Yes, Mom." said Regina.

"Let's sleep with mommy, Re."

Katarina passed into her room while holding Algi, Andra and Regina entered their room. In the room the quarrel was back to occur only they kept the volume of the sound so as not to be heard by Katarina and the others.
