Let Me Be Happy, Lord

Chapter 2

"Well, what kid?, you misheard," cried Mala Ketus.

"Oh yeah, where's my pecel?" she asked again with a cold look when she saw Nur did not bring anything.

"Eh that's bi, sorry, pecelnya run out, when I get there is up," said Nur afraid.

"Stupid, why it runs out, instead of me just asked you to run to the stall bi Ija, hah," said Mala

"Sorry bi, I've tried to walk quickly bi, but still not be part," said Nur afraid.

"Then why did you come home so long?, you played?" ask Mala cynically.

"No bi, I don't play, where dare I bi," Nur said while looking down.

"Then?" ask Mala ketus.

"I was looking at other pecel stalls but still finished bi," the story goes

"Download you yeah, then you didn't buy anything for me, huh, did you ask me to eat that rames rice you bought" Mala exclaimed

"No bi, I did not buy anything" said Nur afraid.

"What?" yell Mala again.

"Oh I know, you're doing this on purpose, starving me like this or you're going to make me want to eat that rice you bought, don't dream, yeah, I'll eat only tempeh, I'd better throw this rice away" Mala exclaimed as she picked up her rames and shortly slammed her on the floor.

Nur who saw the rice swallowed his own saliva. He felt even more hungry when he saw the rice scattered. From Semalem he has not eaten a bit.

"Here you go, get out of here, work there, it's time for you to work" Mala said

"Yes bi for a moment, I drink bi first," said Nur afraid.

"Yes, have a drink first,"

Nur also stepped towards the kitchen to get drinking water. He drank a lot of water to keep his stomach full. From last night he had not eaten, actually he wanted to ask for food to his aunt but he did not dare.

"I was so hungry, I drank so much water that I was full, and I forgot my hunger, hopefully bi Sur will give me the rest of the food in his shop later so that I can eat well" Nur muttered.

He imagined he would be able to enjoy the most delicious food that was always given bi Sur to him. Although the rice is only with the rest of the vegetable sauce sold by bi Sur. But for Nur it is the most delicious food he feels at this time.

"I can't wait, I'm going to go to the food stall bi sur, hopefully bi sur today is a good cook, and there are still leftover vegetable sauce for me," Nur hoped.

Nur quickly went to the market where the Sur bi warung was located. Bi Sur is a good widow despite being notoriously stingy on her men. Of his many men, only Nur was loyal to him, even though he was only paid a very small salary.

"I have to be fast, it's quite late, hopefully bi sur does not cut my salary today, today I pay, right" he murmured

Nur is paid bi Sur per 2 days. The salary is only 50 rb for 2 days. Working hours Nur from 1 pm to 5 pm.

"It is bad to be able to get my salary cut by 15 rb by bi Sur, I am late to come, bi Mala anyway told me to buy rujak in a distant place," Nur murmured sadly

"Hi stupid boy stop," call Angga.

"Geez him again, I have to hurry, just let me know, I don't want my salary cut by bi Sur because of my delay," Nur mumbled.

He decided not to care and did not pay attention to his cousin Angga. Angga who saw Nur did not care about him, making Angga very upset and angry. He will really complain about this to his mother.

"Nur's brash, look out for you yes, you're with me, I'm throwing you at my mama" Angga muttered annoyed

"Hi you why Angga?" ask Mumun.

"I was upset with that stupid kid, I called him, he pretended not to hear my call" Angga growled.

"Yes, you've just stirred him to your mama, not your mama is very fierce and does not like people who hurt you yes," mumun advised

"Yes, you're right, I want to see that stupid girl crying out for my forgiveness,"

"Yes, make him suffer if he can beat him, he must be taught once to let him respect you," said mumun pomp Angga.

"Well, later in the afternoon you play at my house, yes, let you see my mama beat him up, hahaha," Angga laughed.

Angga who from the beginning did not like Nur increasingly became disliked because of Mumun's incitement. Mumun smiled happily when he saw Angga consumed by his incitement. Angga quickly left before the Boy found out about his plan.

"Let's go home, before Boy knows our plan, he's very restless, always defending the stupid girl," said Angga.

"Okay Angga, wait for me later if you want to beat him up," Pinta Mumun.

Angga got home and complained to his mama. By making up stories that don't. It was as if he felt zolimi by Nur.

"Based on that boy yes, bastard, watch out for you yes, dare his brave with my son," furious Rita

They also stepped with wide steps towards the Mala residence. The angga who imagined the mama would torture Nur smiled happily. Mumun was so silent she kept smiling.

"Hi Mala, get out of you!" rita shouted loudly

"Eh there's Bude Rita anyway, let's go in, uh there's Angga and Mumun too, let's go in" Mala invited kindly

"Where is that bastard Mala?" her scream

"Who is bude, who does bude mean?" mala asked confused.

"Yes that Nur, where is he?"

"Oh, he's working bude, what's up?"

"You can't teach that kid, if not let me just intervene,"

"This is what Bude is, is Nur looking for trouble again?"

"Yes, he has dared to argue with my son Angga, does he not know if this Angga is his cousin who should be respected, indeed the son of his damn,"

"Eh, yes bude, yes, Mala will teach her a lesson,"

"No, not just now" said Angga nimbrung.

"But Nur, if it's late this afternoon, it means he's coming home late, usually in the middle of the night, do you want to wait for the boy here?"

"What time is he coming home?" asked Angga cynically and impolitely

"He came home at 12pm, if you want to wait, that's okay" Mala said casually

"That night, it's true we waited for him to late at night like that, he thought he was who, what official, let's just go home,"

"But mah, I want to see Nur taught by mama," whined Angga.

"Yes tomorrow, now he's home at night mama doesn't want to sleep disturbed mama just because waiting for the bastard,"

Angga and the others were forced to go home with no results. Even the upset Mala can only muffle her feelings, the morning after Nur came home. He refused to wait for Nur to come home tonight.

The next day, Mala could not find Nur in her room. He only found the money Nur put at the dinner table. Nono who had just woken up was astonished by his wife's face.

"You why the deck, why is your face buckled so?"

"Akh this brother, I'm looking for Nur, where is he? "

"It's not that in the morning he works at a rice shop sitting on Siti's deck, not that you told him to work there,"

"Oh yeah, you're right bang, which means he's coming home soon,"

"Why Deck?"

"He is a bang, indeed the son of the unlucky carrier" said Mala upset

"You don't talk like that, pity the boy," said nono sadly.

"Akh the boy," Mala said when she realized that Nur was behind them
