Last Ramadan for Nayla
Mama's evil intentions
"Eh kang Ujang, if selling good vegetables dong," said one buyer.
"This was yesterday's vegetable bu Icha, if you want, just take it!" tawang kang Ujang the itinerant greengrocer. "I give you three 5000 ties," he continued again with his typical style that is like a sissy-bani.
"Sama aja dong," said the other buyer, accompanied by a laugh kang Ujang.
"How many eggs are there?" asked Amel, now all eyes are on the woman, just because Amel's mom rarely shopping in a vegetable cart around.
"8000 aja ma'am, that's the harvest from my own garden you know," said the man.
"Tumben jeng Amel shopping here?" ask Icha, a little curious.
"Well, I want to shop here." Reply, Amel put on his calm face.
"Lha, that's who else lives in the yard of Amel's house?" ask the woman next to Icha's mom while pointing to her house, Amel.
They all simultaneously looked at the front of the woman's courtyard. "Eum.that's my maid's son who used to live here now." Amel replied, now he felt very uncomfortable wanting to go from before them, but later there was even added suspicion.
"Well yes the maid, the children are beautiful so and again if carefully observed the child is similar to jeng Amel deh." Say Icha bu that makes Amel's mom more excited.
"Yes, too, similar to Amel," added kang Ujang.
"Where there is similar to me, he is not my child where it may look like me, the eyes of bu Icha same kang Ujang seems to have to be checked immediately to the doctor deh," said Amel denied the truth of the words of the two people in front of him.
"But I agree jeng, indeed similar," added another buyer.

"How many times have I said, do not come out if it is still at this hour, you know that the vegetable maker often stops in front of our house," said Amel annoyed as he reached for Nayla's ear.
"Sorry ma'am was also the mother who told me to make a sweep of the front yard, mama said the cleaner did not come today," replied Nayla reminded.
"Smart menjawab you yes, it's wrong but still just don't want to ngaku!" snapped Amel's mother while kicking her son's leg, making the little Nayla fall to the floor, she could only endure her pain without daring to cry.
"Go there!" throw Amel's mom out rudely. "Basic limps.!"
Nayla went from her mother's presence, she went into her room and locked the door, then climbed into the bed with tears. Nayla rubbed her aching legs, the feet of a child as small as her were kicked so hard how the hell did it feel? Of course it hurts a lot, but Nayla has to endure it she can't do anything about it, she's just a child her strength is not comparable to an adult.
Ms. Amel herself was still with her explosive emotions in the living room, she was angry when she realized that Nayla's face was indeed similar to her.
"Geez, why did you realize it today? Why not from the first time he came to this house, if he knew it would be like this so I had dumped the child on the streets," said Amel's mother was restless.
\*\*\*\*\*\*
After bathing and a little dressing up, Amel's mother immediately went downstairs she wanted to take Nayla to go shopping, that's the reason alone because the truth is that she wanted to take Nayla away from her home,he does not want anyone to know that his third child is actually Nayla, because he thinks Nayla is only a disgrace to his family.
"Are you ready, Nay?" amel asked half-screaming when he saw that Nayla had not come out of her room.
"Ma already!" finally Nayla came out as well, but her feelings were so unsettled she wondered why mama had suddenly invited her out and if her mama was directly kind to her it was definitely impossible.
"Does mom have the same evil intentions as me?" inner Nayla.
"Udah,ayo hunt!"
"We're going to pick up David and Tina's sister, and then we're going to the clothing store to buy new clothes for you." Answer Amel's mother gently.
Nayla looked at her mother with a suspicious look she couldn't believe it just like that.
"There can't be a good mama with me, there's definitely something that mama will do," Nayla's inner self was full of misgivings.
"Udah come! Don't think too much later we'll be late to pick up Tina's brother David." Said Amel, Nayla was forced to follow her mother, she could only resign with what would happen later.
\*\*\*\*\*\*
"We've come a long way, it's been two hours." Mang Adi.
"Go ahead, later if I tell you to stop and stop," said Amel's mother with a cold expression on her face. Mang Adi did not dare to speak anymore, although in his heart he was very curious at that time why his employer looked different today as if he was planning something, he said,moreover, Amel's mother also brought Nayla and this increasingly makes Mang Adi suspicious.
Mang Adi already knew that Nayla was their third child, and Mang Adi also knew that Nayla was not their dear child, unlike Tina and David.
"Stop here a mang!" said Ms. Amel, Mang Adi immediately pulled over her car in front of a clothing store.
"Let's go down Nay!" take Amel's mom, Nayla followed her mom.
"Let's leave me and Nayla here, you pick up David and Tina first, and then if they ask me where to go, just answer what is?" amel's orders.
"Good madam!" replied Mang Adi while nodding his head in understanding.
\*\*\*\*\*\*
"Where are we going, ma?" nayla asked, now that her feelings of curiosity had disappeared, it turns out that Amel really took her out shopping.
"We go to the fruit market first!?" take Amel's mom, but Nayla looks tired at that time until she asks her mom for a short break.
"But Nayla is tired ma, we rest first huh?" nayla Pinta.
Ms. Amel looked around her, she wanted to see the right place for a short break." "That's right there!" point it towards the store that was closing at the time.
"You wait here first yes, you want to buy fruit and this is your shopping bag that you hold. Remember, don't go anywhere!" amel's message before leaving, Nayla according to that time, she did not think badly of her mother because she thought her mother might have changed,and already able to accept him with his flawed state.
\*\*\*\*\*\*
Nayla is still waiting in the same place, her mother is still not back even though the day is almost maghrib.
"Have you gone home first?" inner Nayla, she's getting scared.
"Wait for who, son?" asked an old man who was standing in front of him.
"Waiting for mama kek, from yesterday afternoon has not been back and forth too." Answer Nayla honestly.
"Well, it's dangerous to be alone here, son. This is a big city with a lot of bad people," explained the grandfather, then he immediately left regardless of Nayla, it seems the grandfather was also a beggar in the street, clearly visible from the clothes he wore.
