Hello Bella's

Episode 5: Between Birth and Death, Lie Our Choices - Choose Wisely (2)

"Long," said Alya's mother.

"Moreover, Bun," Bella replied with a serious face as if she was thinking of something heavy.

"Seriously, thinking about the price of cooking oil, has gone down, what are the latest political issues, well the progress of dong anak mother, began to be aware of the condition of the country, usually to the gossip of the artist."

"Not that Mother, this is a serious problem, all gossip artists in coin indeed there is no important thing that can be done what, can benefit not, can sin yes," protested Bella.

Make Bella all the gossip about the artist is not important. First, he did not know the artist. Second, sometimes the gossip circulating is not true or too exaggerated, well, the name is also gossip, the more rubbed the more sip people say. Third, know what the gossip artist is useful, make chat materials with friends, if the gossip is true no problem is possible, well if the gossip is not true, is not so slanderous.

Bella walked while carrying a setople of banana chips towards the sofa in front of the television, where her parents were sitting.

Slowly Bella sat down next to Mother Alya and started eating her chips.

"Bun, Miss Beautiful is beautiful, right? still young again," suddenly Bella began to talk about Beautiful Mom who had not been to their house for a long time.

"Yes right, so why?" ask Mother Alya.

"Kok want to survive with her abusive husband, Bu Indah tuh Bella feel if you want to be able to get a husband that is much better than her current husband," replied Bella.

"What is because of the love of her husband so much that he still survives, like any film Bun, was beaten up just as her husband kept her husband crying apologetically and patiently the wife sorry," continued Bella.

"Emang can still love someone who is clearly violent with him, if love can make a million people, Bella mending never fall in love."

"According to Bella nih ya Bun, when someone does physical or verbal violence against his partner it means he already does not love his partner."

"Where there is love but deliberately hurts, the logic is not used if there is a keukeuh survive the same couple like that."

Mother Alya faithfully listened to the long words of her son. Looks like Bella is suitable for participating in demonstrations and part as an orator.

"Keep yes Bun, said another neighbor, Bu Indah's husband was already unemployed drunk too."

"What try to see from a husband like this, my goodness... Bella's not done thinking, until tired of Bella Bun's brain."

"Eh.don't-don't Miss Beautiful think it's destiny she had a husband like this so she tried to accept it sincerely."

"Well, this is the wrong idea, Bun, where there's such a fate, life, death, sex it's new destiny."

"If life suffers because of the letting go of being tortured by your husband then it is not fate but the choice of life he chooses."

"Bun was busy snacking, responded to Bella's talk," protested Bella because she had been talking about her parents just watching her while eating chips.

"It's finished anyway," said Mother Alya while putting her jar of chips on the table. "Wait for you to come out and all your old grunts."

"You're right that what Ms. Beautiful is going through right now is the result of her life choices and it's not fate, she chose to endure and accept all the ill-treatment of her husband."

"According to Mommy also Bu Indah is wrong, maintaining a toxic household is not the right choice, in addition to Bu Indah increasingly suffering, her young child can also be affected by it."

"It could be because she still loves her husband so much and still wishes for him to change."

"It could also be for other reasons or maybe because of the values that have been held by the family of Bu Indah."

"As you know, there are still people who consider divorce a disgrace, there are still people who like to worry about holding the status of a widow because of the views of those around her."

"This is a valuable lesson for you, be careful in choosing a mate, do not just accept handsome play or because rich, just agree to be married."

"In choosing a mate or anything in life, we must be wise, look good bad, not to regret later."

"What looks good in our eyes isn't necessarily what's best for us and what doesn't look good isn't necessarily good for us."

The narrative of Mother Alya which is no less long than the narrative of Bella makes Bella think that whatever happens with life is partly as a result of the choices made by the perpetrator of life.

Wise choices will minimize the adverse effects that may occur and choices made carelessly will have a negative impact on the future.

"So the point is that as long as we are still breathing, we still have choices and every choice of life has its own consequences, therefore when we choose something choose wise." Mother Alya again.

"Bella understands Bun." Bella's response to the mother's statement that Bella fully understood.

"Oh yes Bun, Mommy accepts Bu Indah works in the store, right we are not in need of new employees, continue to sell cakes also now somewhat decreased," asked Bella later. "Mothers do not worry whether later our operational costs will increase while income remains or even falls."

"Bu Indah is in need of work, yes our time to close our eyes while we can help even if not much," replied Mother Alya.

"Said Kang Maman, Bu Indah has been looking for a job to come here but can't yet, try you imagine if you are in the position of Bu Indah, have a husband who is light-handed, have a husband, poor economic conditions, a child who is still small, must be very heavy right."

"We as neighbors, people closest to him, who see how he is, yes do not just be a spectator let alone a commentator on his life."

"If we can help yes we help according to our abilities, Alhamdulillah we have a cake shop and Bu Indah has cake making skills, baking, it could be a way from God for Beautiful Bu to improve his economic condition and a way for us to develop our store."

"The presence of Bu Indah hopefully can give a new feel to our store, hopefully with the skill Bu Indah can help us produce new cake variants that can attract consumers."

"You don't worry about sustenance, it's all God's equal, we just keep trying and praying, don't be afraid of being poor just because people howl, understand?" mother Alya said while looking at her child.

"Understanding Ustadzah Alya," while cupping her hands in front of her chest and bowing her head, Bella replied.

"You're the..." Mother Alya snorted but her hand again grabbed the jar of chips and continued her snacking.

"You don't have a lecture schedule this afternoon, you're not ready yet," remembered the schedule of his son's activities.

"Yes Allah.... Bella forgot Bun, yes, Bella is ready first yes," said Bella as she ran to her room.

The talk about Bu Indah with her mother made Bella forget her college schedule. But from this talk Bella got a lot of useful things for her life.
