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

#S2 From 4

Maira and Bu Ayu waited for Dika to come home from the mosque by watching television, occasionally they chatted to discuss the event they were watching.

"After this I'll talk to Dika. I hope you can stay here longer to accompany Mom." said Bu Ayu .

"But ma'am if I stay here can I keep working on making cookies and selling them? I also want to make money to buy something I want . " said Maira

"If the problem can be discussed later, the most important thing at this time is that you can stay here first to accompany Mom and help mom . "

Maira nodded her head in response.

Before long the sound of greetings was heard from outside, after putting the peci and scabbard Dika joined the mother and Maira .

"Tell me what you want to say" Dika said waiting for her mother to speak.

"Sik, you were going to talk to my mother if Maira was evicted from her contract for delinquent in rent. Mother proposed How about Maira stay in our house alone" said Bu Ayu in the end

Dika who heard his mother's request was not finished thinking, Why his mother wanted to accommodate Maira in her house . Because obviously his mother already knew that Maira would not be able to pay the rent or the cost money .

"What mother mean? Why do I want Maira to stay here, when obviously Maira can not afford the rent . Sorry Maira didn't mean to corner you, I just wanted to know why mom . " Said Dika later after hearing her mother's request .

"Mother will not ask Maira for a penny either for the cost money or the rent money . I asked Maira to stay here because I want to have friends who can accompany me. All this time I was lonely, brother. If you go to work and mom is only at home alone . Let Maira stay here, instead Maira will help mom clean the house cooking and help other homework . Maira agreed to it, but she won't decide before you allow her to stay here . Said Bu Ayu with a sparkling face

Dika is completely inexhaustible, with what her mother thinks . From where his mother had such thoughts , his mother paid Maira with a place to live and Maira stayed to help her mother.Whoa, really amazing these two people in front of him . They were bartering apparently thought Dika.

"But ma'am does Maira want to work without being paid ?because I really don't have enough money to pay people to work in our House, to eat only we have to cut 'em, because my salary is not as much as it used to be. " said Dika a little upset.

"You listen to Maira our real state , mother's son just regular office work. So the salary is not too high, just enough to eat and pay for the needs of the house" said Ms. Ayu.

Maira nodded in understanding with the state of Bu Ayu and her son . He smiled and said something extraordinary, according to Dika.

"It's okay, if I'm allowed to stay here, I'll help with my mom's homework without getting paid. It's really okay. I just need a place to shelter. Later if allowed, I will also sell cakes in front of the house to get money and accompany mother." said Maira innocently.

"Do you have money for cake?" dika said slightly sneering.

"God willing there is a mas, right before dika already gave me a hundred thousand money to replace my messy merchandise. suffice it, if to buy fried food, oil and gas. I only ask for a place of sale in front of the house to sell. So I do not need to travel and still be able to accompany my mother at home. "

Dika and mom Ayu listen to an idea they never thought of all this time from the mouth of a young girl like Maira.

"Are you not ashamed to sell fried food in front of the house? " ask Dika after listening to the idea from Maira.

"What should I be ashamed of, mas. As long as the windfall we seek is halal, we need not be ashamed. All this time I've been fighting to survive. Trade round cakes and often driven from one boarding place to another because they cannot pay the boarding money when due. I also used to be an iron washing worker. But I am grateful to still be able to survive to this point, and to be able to graduate school in my own sweat. "said Maira innocently, whose words had already subconsciously slapped two people in front of her.

"Well then, you can stay here, to accompany and help my mother. If the problem of selling, it is up to the mother because this house is the mother's house, so the right to allow you to sell is the mother. Just one message. If mother allows you to sell, I hope you keep clean, do not let any oil stains scattered on the floor so that it can make my mother slip or fall. " said Dika at length after all silent.

"Yes mas, I will immediately mop up the floor later so as not to be slippery" said Maira with enthusiasm

"Yes now you can talk to mom. I want to go to the room. Get some rest first. "

"Yes, mas. "

After Dika's departure, Maira again faced Ayu ma'am. He saw Ayu's mother who was daydreaming, I don't know what she was thinking.

"Mom.. "call Maira to pat Ayu's hand to wake up.

"Ah, yes Maira. Sorry I was daydreaming. What was? "

"Alhamdulillah, dika has allowed me to stay here to accompany mother and help mother's work. "

"Alhamdulillah, then how do you sell your problems?" ask Ayu ma'am then

"Well, if that's the case, I was told to ask my mother, because this house belongs to my mother. So what can let me sell or not in this house is just mom. "

"Oohhh, yes already if the sales problem, we will discuss tomorrow. It's late, I want a really sleepy break. You also rest first." Said ma'am Ayu distracting.

"All right then, ma'am. " Luggishly Maira entered into her room.

"Maira, don't be so lethargic. We'll discuss your sales tomorrow. Because I want to think of something first" said Bu Ayu who saw Maira's disappointed face.

"Yes, mom. " Maira then went into her room and immediately laid herself on the bed.

He thought about everything that happened today. It was a coincidence or destiny from God that brought him into this house. Maira always turned to Allah about her long life. Living alone in a big city, with no one to lean on.

Sometimes he has to endure hunger if he does not have any money at all. To ask for the mercy of others. His life was terrible, but he was still grateful that God was still giving him life. He believes that maybe one day, God will give him something beautiful.

In the room, in the,

Dika did not immediately fall asleep he was still pensive to sting all the words from Maira. Maybe all this time he was less grateful so he was inflicted with problems in his life.

Maira, a girl she hit this morning, has told her how to be grateful. Although it is a shortage. Really very sad. He who has been upholding the education and tie he has been wearing all this time, has made him forget to be grateful or even always underestimate others who are under him. God taught him a very valuable lesson.

Likewise Bu Ayu who had been slapped by the talk of Maira who said, any work should not be ashamed, as long as it is halal. He has done so much wrong in the past that prides his son's education and his son's work, so he forgets how to be grateful. All he thought about was money and money. No matter where it came from, the important thing in his hands was money. Until God finally put on him a family problem that is not inexhaustible.
