I'm Fragile, Lord

Chapters. 42

In the night a heavy rain swept across the earth, all of them sound asleep.

Only the sound of crickets echoing in the earth's court.

"Dad, help me. How they must suffer like we are scorned by people" hiba Pingkan to his father Pak Wandi.

"Dad is also confused, what to do, son, or just like this."

Mr. Wandi brought himself closer to his son and whispered in his ear Pingkan.

"By Dad's idea, I should've just been like that"

"Dad sure you'd make it"

"Well, tomorrow I begin to carry out my plan"

"Then go to sleep" said Mr. Wandi as he left his son to go to his room.

"I'm sorry Saroh, it's because you rejected me" Mr. Wandi recalled his story.

Flashback.

The afternoon after Mr. Wandi stopped by eating at Granny Saroh's shop. Mr. Wandi expressed his plan to ask Grandma Saroh to be his wife.

"Saroh, marry me. If you marry me, you don't have to sell anymore. Let me save you"

"I'm sorry Wandi, not that I insulted you with my rejection. But I'm too old for a household. I definitely hate my kids"

"You don't sell Saroh's pricey"

"I want to live a quiet life Wandi, look for the one you deserve. We are 10 years different. I beg you to understand"

"I don't think age is a problem, maybe you want to find someone richer"

"Stop your thinking Wandi, I don't want to build a household when it's old like this"

"Halahhh, if there is a richer one you will want to be his wife"

"Whatever you say, what matters is that I'm not who you're accusing me of"

"Well, watch out if I see you're finally married, I'll make your life suffer"

Mr. Wandi also left Grandma Saroh. Grandma Saroh just shook her head. He did not expect at this age that anyone would marry him.

Since that incident the relationship between Pak Wandi and Grandma Saroh became tenuous.

Off Flasback.

"I had to make Talita suffer, how good her life was. I've been in a love club for years, nobody got me out. When there is no Talita, even the love club burns out" muttered Pingkan.

The Flashback

"Please, fire, fire on the 3rd floor"

Run down the emergency stairs. At 3 p.m., the love club had a terrible fire.

Actually there are still people trapped on the 5th floor, because they can not run.

All the people were scattering in the rescue.

The fire quickly grabbed the surrounding rooms.

Aunt Ira who saw her Club on fire screamed hysterically.

"Clubku, my money, torch" cried Aunt Ira.

The fire truck did not come. Especially on the 3rd floor there is a floating warehouse, automatically adding to the enormity of the fire at the club.

After an hour had passed, a new fire engine came in and started to blackout.

After being examined and investigated, it turned out that the cause of the fire was due to a short circuit on the 3rd floor in addition to the liquor storage warehouse.

Many of the victims died, about 12 people were trapped and charred inside the love club and the families of the victims sued Aunt Ira.

Since then, Aunt Ira has been insane. Maybe due to pressure from the victim's family so that Aunt Ira became stressed and lost memory.

Aunt Ira often screams, sometimes the leaves she holds say the money and want to be paid to the family of the victim.

Pingkan who do not know where to go to return home.

With his potluck of money, he was finally able to return to his hometown.

Off Flashback.

Lay her body on the bed to rest her body. Tomorrow he will do what his father says.

Next day.

"Don't be too tired nduk, kasian jabang your baby" said Grandma Saroh while stroking Talita's back.

"I'm fine, Grandma, it looks like my son is a hard worker"

"Amijin,"

"When you're going to see a doctor, son, it's been 4 months" continued Granny Saroh.

"Today, Grandma, hopefully this day is fast selling sweet" added Talita.

"It's okay, son, just go to the puskes now. Let's just stay here Grandma alone"

"But.". "doubt Talita.

"Prepare now son, Grandma has used to sniff all herself, have you forgotten?" granny Saroh said.

"Your health is more important, let alone there is a baby that you have to take care of"

"Well, Grandma, I'll get ready first"

Talita also moved to the 2nd floor in the shophouse. Currently their residence is on the 2nd floor.

Talita was soon wearing her shar'in clothes.

"Sir, I go first, assalamu'alaikum" Talita said.

"Be careful son, waalaikum salam warohmatullahi wabarakatuh" replied Grandma Saroh.

Talita rushed to the nearest puskes with her residence using bentor.

30 Minutes after Talita left.

Seen as if smiling.

"Good, the shoots in love ulam also arrived. Could happen to be Talita is leaving, had to wait crowded first deh" muttered Pingkan while looking at something he carried.

As usual if it's 8am, there must be many Granny Saroh customers to come to the stall.

After being tasted enough, Pingkan also approached Granny Saroh stall.

"Tumben no Talita Grandma?!" ask Pingkan.

"Talita again to the puskes, you want to eat?" granny answered Saroh and asked Pingkan at once.

"Yes Grandma, don't worry" replied Pingkan.

Once in a sense of security, pingkan poured something on the food next to him.

After that he ate the food served by Grandma Saroh.

Suddenly the one next to him shouted.

"Astagfirullah, there's a cockroach nek in my rice cake"

Everyone was shocked by the screams of Granny Saroh's customers. So is Grandma Saroh.

"Uweeekk, there are cockroaches" cried Pingkan.

"Nih, the cockroaches, where it has been cooked again" said the customer while smiling in disgust.

"Uwelk"

"Uwelk"

All Granny Saroh customers spewed out the rice they ate.

"For God's sake, I'm cooking hygienic rice and there's not even a cockroach here"

"But this is no proof, Grandma" said pingkan warming up.

"Grandmother is really dirty" said the other customer.

Before long Talita came down from the bentor and gave wages to the rider.

Talita was astonished to see pingkan in Granny Saroh's shop.

"May you not do anything, O Allah" Talita murmured.

When Talita came in already looked crowded and blasphemed Grandma Saroh.

It looks like Grandma Saroh is crying while covering her face.

"I swear, I cooked the rice well, there were no cockroaches around me" Grandma Saroh explained.

Talita approached Grandma Saroh and looked around the yellow rice customer.

"What is this" Talita asked everyone.
