Miscall the Retorted

Miscall the Retorted
Father's Defense



I kept my promise to Aunt Hana, after coming home from the wartel I went straight to her house to wash their clothes, quite a lot maybe aunty Hana has not washed for a few days, but luckily the dirty clothes were not dirty, because of work clothes and home clothes, and I also found many dirty clothes bang Rocky.


" That means every time I go home, bring dirty clothes, you lazy bastard" I muttered his head.


I struggled to finish the laundry in the bathroom room is quite spacious, maybe deliberately made spacious all for the laundry place, and next to it there is also a bathroom with a size smaller than where I wash.


" Tan the cloth how do you want to be dried immediately or tomorrow?" I asked Aunt Hana who was cooking in the kitchen through the window.


Aunty Hana's house is available a special room clothesline that does not have a roof, and the clothesline can also be lifted and moved, so it is very safe to dry it.


" Didn't you take ra?" With doubt aunty Hana turned her back.


" Yes not tan, but do not know use clothesline," I honestly told my ignorance afraid that the smart ass will eventually damage.


" He he he, you're ra, easy ko masangnya," said aunt Hana, immediately aunty Hana turned off the stove and headed towards me, he said, pulled up the clothesline and sheltered in front of the bathroom where I wash, and began to open the folded clothesline, I noticed it so that later at any time I could be alone.


" Let's stay here, Rocky's dad shifts his clothesline tomorrow" said aunt Hana and returned to the kitchen to finish her cooking.


I just nodded, and started to dry their clothes neatly, afraid that later Aunt Hana would not be satisfied with my work, it could be a talk.


" Tan, I've dried it all, but there's a line of clothes I layer, because the fabric is mostly, do not know usually aunty sunbathing if the clothes are less" said again when meeting aunty Hana in their dining room, I thought he was still in the kitchen.


" Well, no papa, oh yeah, you can iron no?"


" Can tan?" My forehead is a little bit cringing.


" Want, ironing?aunty's gonna pay up,"


" I thought about it tan, afraid I can't do it, because the laundry is how many houses" I replied again.


" Oh, yeah, I'd say yes"


" Yes tan, if it's good to go home first tan, still want to go to the house wak pinem again tan."


" Be careful ra!"


I also passed from the house bang Rocky, in a hurry to the house wak pinem, it was also waiting for me to wash his dirty clothes.


" O old ko ra?" I saw wak pinem again serving buyers in his sizable stall.


" Yes wak, it was holy in place of Aunt Hana first!" Honestly answered.


" When have you been holed up there?" The question wak pinem doesn't seem to like if I work for aunt Hana.


" It's just today, wak," I feel bad.


" Can you work, please,? Don't be greedy ra, you won't be held, you'll be determined." The face of Wak pinem looked unhappy with my decision, making me bow, while the mothers who were shopping looked at me.


Pinem talk always judges anyone, but I know his purpose is good, and all this time he's always been good to me, hired me never late, and he always praised my work, often I was asked to help him in stalls weighing sugar or cooking oil.


I know he doesn't like Aunt Hana, I don't know why I don't know, they never seem to greet even one church and often meet.


" Yes, that's it, and you'll be home later tonight!"


Immediately I went back and started washing, fortunately not as much dirty clothes as in the house of Aunt Hana, I made sure my laundry was clean as usual, afraid that the pinem wak so do not like my work anymore and dismiss me.


" Wak, the laundry is ready, tomorrow morning I stop here again before going to the wartel to dry it, uh yes the washcloth I wash all the wak in the kitchen."


" Yes, I wanted to wash the washcloth, too, and it was washed first" I saw a faint smile on the lips of Wak Pinem.


" Wak, weigh ten kilos of rice, cooking oil a kilo, sugar a quarter, coffee a box of tea powder," I took out fifty thousand pieces of money from the rest of my salary yesterday.


" That's all?" Wak pinem started weighing the rice, and collecting my shopping.


" That's it, how much is it?" Ask again.


" A moment," Quickly wak pinem pressed the calculator, "Sixty-six thousand ra," Wak pinem received the money that I had offered.


" Ohh, four ribs, love wak for my sisters," Wak Pinem looked at me briefly, and put the snack nearby and took a packet of biscuits and put it back in my shopping bag.


" It's wawak give her biscuits yes,"


" Okay, don't bother wak," said I feel bad, wak pinem often give me food, although the talk likes judes, but if about giving him a proper thumbs up.


I also say goodbye to Wak pinem and immediately go home, just like yesterday I came home and arrived home already through magrib.


" How long did Ra go home?" He welcomed me home and took the groceries in my hand.


" Return from the wartel straight nyuci sir!"


" What is this, heavy?" You look surprised at my shopping.


" Pack rice, it's a snack for gomos to be equally shabby," I passed into my room.


I lay down my body quite tired, I contemplated speaking wake pinem with the word greedy, I took a deep breath and let it out violently, as I did several times, I did,


" Am I that greedy?" I murmured in my heart.


I heard you nagging in the front room where I had gomos and guhut enjoying the snacks with my father who I bought and the biscuits that were given by Wak Pinem.


" Jajan continues, what's the good snack from eating rice? This klian habit, the mace of rules, where do the klian snacks come from, where do you get money from?, this father who gives snacks,!" Mak directly accused you, maybe you didn't know I was home.


" Hus, that mama who's a ranting habit, that's Ara who bought it,"


" Look, Ara's home, can't you hear me?"


" Oh, don't listen, the mother was in the back, look at her kitchen shopping too, let me help you, if they are snacking, justin, that's her loving brother, mak should be able to appreciate the gift of Ara, mak see there is a girl his age working all day to help us and remember his sister, not all can be stingy like mak?" I think you are upset with mom.


And Mak seemed to be silent and did not argue what the father said, and what was heard now was the chattering of my two sisters who enjoyed the snacks and biscuits I brought earlier.


My eyes felt sleepy, I immediately changed my clothes that were a little damp from washing earlier, without taking a shower I immediately laid my body, quite tired of my body, I wanted to rest immediately.
