For the Sake of a Consecrated Word (You Ignore the Wife's Child)

#S2 From 3

"How about you host or contract here? "

"Sorry mom, what do you mean? " ask Maira not understanding.

"Yes, you can stay here. There are two empty rooms in this house. The one you occupy, the room has his sister when he is married and rarely comes home. Even if he came home he never stayed overnight, because his in-laws also live alone." explained Ayu ma'am.

"And that one, "bu Ayu showed me the other room that was empty. " It was the room belonging to her sister Dika. I don't know where she is now, mom and Dika don't care. Because he doesn't care about us either. But the room was still empty because we were afraid that he would arrive back. "

Maira only mangosteen heard Ayu's story.

"Sorry ma'am, but I don't have the money to pay for the boarding or the rent" Maira said, bowing her head.

"Can I give you a solution to your problem? " ask mom Ayu carefully.

Maira nodded slowly in response.

"Before I apologized instead of mother willing to take advantage of your inability to pay the rent or lack of you looking for money" said Ms. Ayu slowly.

"Mom will give you shelter in this house, as long as you want to help mom in this house. "

"meaning? " tabya Maira doesn't understand.

"Let's stay in this house as long as you want as long as you help with mom's work in this house. Like cooking, cleaning the house and housework. I'm not old enough to do homework. But if you can be honest with you, your feet hurt when you walk or stand for too long. "

Maira scrunched her forehead cluelessly, Hearing the curses of this old lady before her.

"When it hurts, why not take it to the hospital? " ask Maira carefully.

"Because I don't want to bother Dika, son. He's been working hard all this time to finance both of us. I don't want to burden her with her disease anymore. So mom just do the homework as much as mom can. "tale mom Ayu.

"Dika has no wife, sorry ma'am" asked Maira still carefully.

"When he married twice, his first marriage failed and they divorced. His second marriage was quite short, because Dika's second wife died of illness. And he still feels at home to this day, without thinking about marriage anymore. " Mum Ayu recounted the circumstances of the two of them, hoping Maira was pity and accepted her request.

"How's Maira? did you agree to stay here? " ask Ayu again.

"But ma'am, I don't feel good living here without paying, the monthly fee. '

" Maira's.... Gini deh, if you do not understand the subtle language that you mean, you will explain with a rough language maybe you can understand. "said Ayu who was anxious with this young girl in front of him.

"You can stay here without paying the cost or rent. You can replace that money with your energy, which is to help mom do homework. You can stay here whenever you want. Do you understand, Maira? " ask mom Ayu to make sure

Maira hesitated.

"If you want to listen to harsh language again like this. You need a place to stay for shelter, and we need a maid or someone to help with homework. I have a house, and you have energy. We will give and take and be mutually beneficial, how? do you understand that? I won't ask you for a penny for your living expenses. Because you've just accompanied me, I'm happy, have friends to talk to. "

Maira nodded in understanding. Actually, he knew what I meant from the beginning. But he pretended he didn't understand to convince himself.

"But what about Dika? Will he mind if I stay here?"

"If Dika's problem would be mother's business. You just calm down. So how? "

I will accept it, if Dika accepts I stay here. If Dika refuses, I will leave here "break up Maira in the end.

Bu Ayu nodded in understanding, right what Maira said. However, in this house there is still Dika who must be asked his opinion.

"Yes already then , you can now rest . I also want to rest." said Ayu ma'am later.

"All right, ma'am . Take his lunch. Maternal homemade patch steady. "

Maira walks into her room with her legs still swollen, while Ayu's mom locks all the doors before she enters the room to take a nap.

In the afternoon, as Ayu said last afternoon, Ayu ma'am cooked again for Dika and herself's dinner, don't forget Maira who is now in the house.

Dika arrived home at exactly five in the afternoon like what Ayu said to Maira. She's soon

headed for the kitchen, hearing the voices of people chatting from there. Seen her mother was cooking assisted Maira, although with a slightly limp leg.

Dika's heart immediately warmed to see that scene, her mother had changed. From what used to be very stubborn, arrogant and haughty, it has now changed better. And want to interact with others who are new to her. Maybe three years left by the people around him has made him realize, if alone it is not better. Humans need other people around them because humans are social creatures who need each other.

"Hopefully mother, can still behave like this. "inner Dika.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat.. "

"Wa'alaikum salam." replied Ayu and Maira together.

"You've come home, brother? " Mum Ayu immediately approached Dika, and Dika immediately shook his mother's hand.

"Yes ma'am, just arrived and came straight here, because it smelled like delicious cuisine. "

"Yes, Maira helped Maira cook. It turns out Maira pinter cook you know, "said Bu Ayu with a smile.

"Yes, I want to take a shower first, after that to the mosque" said Dika as he passed to his room.

Not long after Dika came out again from his room wearing a cocoa shirt and sarong and peci on his head. Dika's appearance like that made Maira who was preparing dinner stunned for a while, before she regained consciousness.

"Yes, geez. It turns out that his appearance is like that, dika mas handsome. Different if the appearance usually, more impressed cold. "maira murmured in the heart.

Dika then said goodbye to his mother for worshipers in the mosque. And after Dika's departure, Ms. Ayu and Maira also headed to their respective rooms to perform worship.

After performing the maghrib prayer, now all the sudan people gather at the dinner table for dinner. Dinner is simple, there is only vegetable soup, potato parchment and fried chicken. Not to forget the sambal made by Ayu ma'am which said Maira was very good.

"Where? delicious huh? " ask Ayu's mom in the middle of them eating.

"Enak, vegetables are different as usual." said Dika.

"Ohhh, it's Maira who cooks. mom just fried chicken just as much as making sambal earlier. "bu Ayu explained

Dika just nodded in response to Ayu's words.

"How's your foot? is sudan better? "

"Alhamdulillahit's better mas, just stay crooked. "

Dika then continued eating again with ravenous.

"It looks like Dika's starving, he's ravenously eating it. Is it because the food is good? " inner Maira.

"When you get out of the mosque, I want to talk to you. "

"Speak what ma'am, just say it now" said Dika while eating his food voraciously.

"Later, you finish your meal first, continue to the mosque. After that we can have a casual chat while watching television" said Ms. Ayu who saw Dika eat like never before.

" That's really good what's laper? " bu Ayu had the same thought as Maira.
