Talita was sad to see the rice had stayed today in the porridge, it was only enough until night. That means Talita has to fast for food, if only...

Tesss...

Tears trickled in remembering the incident yesterday when the money was handed over to Om Felix.

"Om Felix IS CRUEL!! no longer want to be responsible to my mother even now take the money leftover purchase drugs again, akhhh...!! " inner Talita screams to hurt Om Felix. I want to hit him with satisfaction. But what is the power he is just a tiny child who just grew up a teenager can not do anything. Moreover, Om Felix hurt his mother inevitably had to be handed over.

Talita wiped away the tears and immediately took a deep breath in exhaled again through the mouth.

Talita immediately cooked the porridge for her mother after the porridge was cooled first and began to feed the porridge painstakingly.

"Mom, Talita will stay a while, ma'am. Talita wants to try washing clothes at Mey's mother's house, who knows if Mey wants to give Talita a job" Talita said gently.

His mother nodded and did not feel her tears flowing. His mother was sad, if there was still money left over to buy drugs, Talita would not be looking for a job to get money.

"Mothers... Talita please don't be sad ma'am, Talita is fine working. Talita just hard left mom alone at home. If mom is sad Talita is sad"

"Oh Allah.why did you give me the trials of living like this, what is this karma of being remarried. Thank you Rabby for giving me a filial son like Talita, give him health and patience, Aamiin"

Talita wiped away her mother's tears that wouldn't stop dripping.

"Mom, Talita beg_". Don't cry anymore ma'am. Talita couldn't see my mother cry"

Suddenly Talita's tears shed as well, she immediately embraced her mother.

"Mom must be strong and healthy, if Talita healthy mother is not only happy but Talita can go to school again. Do you want to be sad and never heal?"

Anna's mother shook her head, Talita immediately let go of her embrace and smiled.

"Mom, I saw Talita, I loved Talita. So I can't cry or be sad anymore. You must be strong, Talita will also be strong to face this life if you are strong. Talita's strength is only in Mother" said Talita so that her mother does not grieve anymore.

"We face life together mom, we can"

Anna's mother nodded weakly and Talita immediately wiped Anna's tears away.

"Mother finish the porridge, after that take some more medicine, okay?!" talita said with a sweet smile.

Anna's mother smiled too, she did not want Talita to be sad about it.

"aaa." Talita said, feeding her mother with vigor. His mother was happy to accept bribes for Talita's feed.

"Finally out too ma'am, Talita took water to drink so that mom can take medicine again"

Talita went to the kitchen to take warm water and drink medicine to her mother. His mother also swallowed pills one by one the drugs that Talita offered.

"Alhamdulillah, now I am a wife first yes. Talita wants to go to Mey's mother's house" Talita told her mother.

Her mother just nodded in agreement to Talita's wish so they could buy their daily necessities again.

Before leaving do not forget Talita watering chili seeds and tomato seedlings so that the flourishing.

At 8 am Talita left for Mr. Sobry's house, Talita wanted to ask if he could work washing clothes or help Mother Mey at this time, so that tomorrow have money to buy rice again. If she can, Talita wants to finish her job. Fear his mother wants BAB(removing big water) or BAK(removing small water) he is not in his house later.

Talita tried to walk quickly so she could get to Mr. Sobry's house. Mr. Sobry's house is at the end of the entrance to Talita's house, a distance of only 200 meters.

"Assalamu'alaikum"

Tok...

"Son Talita, come in. Please sit down"

"Thank you ma'am, sorry to bother you with my arrival"

"No son, I'm cleaning up the house again" said Mey's mother

"Son Talita, what needs to come to the mother's house. Tell me son" he continued.

"Look Mom, can you give me a job. Sorry mom, usually I call Ita wash so Ita comes, who knows there are clothes that want to be washed. Talita again needs money to buy rice ma'am" Talita explained.

"mmm.. like this, son, in this pandemic angkot is a bit quiet, which must reduce the number of transportation 50% than usual, so Mother can not give work to Talita"

"All right, ma'am, it's okay. Talita understands Mom's situation too, alright Mom. Talita said goodbye, Assalamualaikum"

"Wa'alaikum greetings" replied Mey's mother.

Talita is confused about where else to go to find work. Talita thought to meet Salma's mother who was across the street whose house was quite large who knew there was work again.

Talita headed to Miss Salma's house, with quick steps she headed to the house.

"Assalamualaikum" Talita said in front of Ms. Salma's house.

"Wa'alaikum salam. Oh Talita boy, come in Talita boy. What's the need?" said Mother Salma softly.

Talita also revealed her intention to find a job because she again needed money to buy rice.

"Sorry son, yesterday there was a mother's ART, just came from the village" said Ms. Salma.

"oh.iya Ms. Salma, no papa. Then Talita said to go home first"

"Yes son, mmm. This is a little sustenance son" Mother Salma gave money 50rb to Talita.

"Sorry Mom, Talita is not begging. Look ma'am, if there is a little work Talita will do. well the money that was ma'am"

"Well son, klo once you flush the flowers just happens to be the gardener Mother again on leave of work"

"Alhamdulillah" immediately hugged Miss Salma. So happy to be able to get 50k just watering the plants.

Salma's mother just wiped Talita's head. Talita releases a hug and immediately takes a hose to water the plants.

In addition to watering plants Talita plucking grass that is rather long so that the garden looks beautiful.

Ms. Salma Impressed by the workings of Talita, Ms. Salma greatly admired Talita who did not want to receive free money. about an hour Talita work was completed as well.

A tired sweat soaked her forehead when it showed at 10 am that Talita could still find another job before noon to go home.

Many times Talita gave thanks there are still good people like Salma's mother. Although only 50k but can already make Talita and his mother last 5 days later.

After Talita finished saying goodbye to Ibu Salma and Ibu Salma saying thank you for watering her plants and even cleaning the grass in her yard.Talita also said thank you when Ms. Salma handed over 50k to Talita.

Talita is confused to find a job where else. But Talita did not despair, she asked from one house to another. Talita's legs are tired.

The sun was already a bit hot indicating the time was already noon. Talita had to stop looking for work because it was impossible to let her sick mother until the afternoon.

Luckily Talita has got 50k, Talita was forced to go home to the house because soon her mother had to eat lunch and take her medicine again.
