KIRANA (She Is She Too)

The Eps 64

That morning at seven, Tari just woke up. At dawn, he helped Ma Mae shop for stalls. Arriving home because tired the girl overslept to wake up.

After looking at the wall clock that showed the number seven more, Dari immediately got up and exited the room. He rushed towards his sisters room to wake them up. He was afraid that they would wake up like him. However, after opening the room door and looking inside, his sisters were already not inside. Dance heaved a sigh of relief, surely they had already left for school.

The girl went back to the room to clean up. He's not going anywhere today. Just wanted to help Bu Mae keep the stall all day so that Bu Mae could rest in her room. At the market, Ms. Mae looked pale and limp. It looks like she's sick, but Tari hasn't had a chance to ask.

"Mom is okay?"

"Eh, Dance." Bu Mae was a little surprised when Tari was suddenly already beside her.

"Mom is sick? Mom's face is pale."

"No, Mom's okay."

It would be a lie if Ms. Mae said it was okay. Bu Mae's face looked very pale and was holding something back. Even from earlier the woman just sat limp in the stall and always held her stomach.

"Mother mending rest in the dalem deh, here is cold," said Tari while wearing a jacket to Bu Mae.

"But,"

"Here, I rest in my room. Today Dance is not everywhere, so you can help keep the stall."

Moments later, some mothers came. It looks like they are going shopping at the shop. Dance immediately asked Bu Mae to rest inside. All the stall work he'll handle. Dancing doesn't want you to be sick because you're too tired.

"Again, Dance!" greet one mother.

"By the morning, Mom!" reply Dance with a smile on her lips.

"Dance, sugar sand about the same salt dong," pinta one mother.

"Yes, Mom." Dari immediately found what the mother ordered and put it in a plastic bag.

"This, Ma. Anything else?" tanya Dance friendly.

Others also mentioned the items they wanted to buy. Sometimes they talk to each other and seem to laugh. However, sometimes they also looked serious and whispered. Dance just kept quiet while cleaning her stall. He was not very interested in their conversation, because the mothers were gossiping as usual. Warung is usually used as a place to dig or find information from various problems by customers. Moreover, Warung Tari want to provide relief by taking first pay later, aka debt.

"Everything is thirty thousand and five hundred, ma'am," Dari explained to a mother.

"Oh, I only brought twenty thousand, Tar." The mother stuck out four bills of five thousand on Tari.

"Ah, no papa, ma'am. Lack can be later or tomorrow."

"Duh, thank you, Dance. You are very good. It is not wrong if your shop is always crowded because it has a very good," praised the mother.

"As long as you can, yes Tari help, ma'am. If you can't, I'm sorry" explained Tari with a smile.

"You really are dancing. You are beautiful, good again. I pray you'll be a mate." The other mother chimed in.

"Aamiin," replied Tari.

"Well, who's Jeng Ut?" asked Bu Ngatinem to his friend who turned out to be named Bu Utari.

"That's the Gaje, the son of Jeng Kis."

"Well, yeah. Si Tari is often very tired together with his nephew Jeng Kis."

The mothers started to gossip again. Even they don't hesitate in front of the person they're talking about. Dance could only smile while scratching her non-itchy nape as they talked about it.

Dari heaved a sigh of relief after the neighboring mothers left. He went back to cleaning the stall and then sat down at the table to take down the people who were in debt at the stall. Business remains business. Although Tari is good, his stall business should not stop just because of the debts of the customers. If they don't pay too long, then either Tari or Bu Mae will charge. It was also part of the kindness of Bu Mae and Tari. Save them from the torment of the fires of hell by collecting debts. For until death, the debt in the world will still be brought to the afterlife.

From a distance, a woman walks towards the shop. The dance that had seen him also immediately approached to greet him.

"But, Bulik."

"By the morning, Tar."

"What are you looking for, Bulik?" tanya Dance.

"This, Tar. Buy sugar with black coffee. Usually your package is asking to make coffee in the morning."

"Oh, yes Bulik. Just a moment, dance get it." Dance immediately took sugar and black coffee requested bulik.

Bulik Kiswanti or familiarly called Jeng Kis by mothers, is the aunt of Gajendra. He helped Tari and her family when they first came to the city.

"Oh yes Dance, why is your mother invisible?"

"Mother is sick, Bulik. Again rest in the dalem," replied Tari while thrusting a plastic bag containing sugar and coffee orders bulik.

"Oalah .. What pain, Tar? From yesterday, your mother looked pale. Hold a little stomach. I think his digestion is again problematic. Try it, Tar. Fear why."

Dance was silent for a moment. True bulik said, he had to take his mother to the doctor. All this time, Mae had never been sick, even dizziness was rarely felt. I hope Mae's not okay.

"Sister, mom's feverish." Adnan suddenly went into Dance's room and told her mother that she had a fever.

At ten o'clock in the night, Tari almost closed her eyes if Adnan did not suddenly open the door and wake her up. Hearing the mother's fever, Tari immediately woke up and saw the state of Bu Mae.

The woman looked weak helplessly lying on her bed. Pale and shivering face. Occasionally holding his stomach and grimacing in pain. The dance that started to panic was approaching. Touching the mother's forehead that was wet from sweating. The heat is high, but the sweat that comes out is as big as corn kernels. Even Ms. Mae couldn't open her eyes, probably because her body started to relax.

"Dec, call your brother! We're taking mom to the hospital" Tari told Adnan, who was standing next to her.

Without answering, the little man immediately ran out of the room to call Farhan and Bilal. A little while later, Adnan and his two older brothers arrived.

"Mom why, sister?" tanya Farhan was starting to worry.

"Mother's sick, we need to get her to the hospital now. Brother scared mom why." The dance starts to lift up Bu Mae's body. Without a second thought, Farhan helped his brother to marry Bu Mae.
