Miscall the Retorted

Accompanying mak to taxes

The sound of the chicken cock behind the house was silent, and the work began to sound loud woke me who I think just closed my eyes, ohh it turned out I turned work faster than usual, and I turned to work faster than usual, now it just shows at four o'clock in the morning, immediately I turn off work and pull back my blanket covering my entire body up to my head, but the sound of crutches in front, I'm sure it's mak.

" Hmmm, you're awake, but I slept first" I muttered in my heart and tried to close my eyes again, but I couldn't.

I woke up from my sleep and looked for warm clothes because this morning the cold was many times the taste of ordinary days, maybe because of the dry season so strong the wind was blowing, I also put on my socks and went to the mak who was busy with the crops last night, picked a good one and put it in a big plastic asoy, I was sitting on the mat where my mother last night I met asleep, I saw my sister was no longer there maybe last night was moved to the room.

" Have you woken up, Ra?" Mak asked and only caught a glimpse of me and continued his work.

" I think she worked one of the princesses last night, mak," I said while hugging my knees.

" Have slept again"

" It's not sleepy"

" It's early in the morning too, why dark gini?"

" Come with me"

Mak turned to me, looked at me at the dimness of our oil lamp, and soon returned with his work.

" You're Lo Ra's girl, why little prestige? Mak can ko, I also want to help mak" Mak doesn't seem to want me to be a versatile woman, be a muscular woman, or be a tough woman.

" Lah, why, while I can, have time to help, yes aided by mak, want mak have a daughter only ask for money like that?" My words lengthened my lips made my mother laugh this morning, she knew what I meant, a neighbor who was not far from my mother's house named Rina.

Rina is famous for her freedom, where she wants, without ever wanting to stay at home, or just helping her parents who are not much different from her life with us, it's just that what distinguishes Rina only has one brother, so whatever request they can immediately be without thinking about the other brother.

" Yes not Ra, but at least do not think too much mak also son, think yourself" said the mother who made me just smile in response.

I watched the mak who was almost done with his work, my eyes caught a pile of sweet potato leaves that had been tied, do not know when it was taken from the side of the house, mak people diligently sweet potato stalks are always planted in the border yard, even vegetables thrive in the yard next to the house of the mother, so we never have a story to buy vegetables.

" Much mak leaves his mother?" I said to mom.

" Oh yes, fortunately remember coming home from the field last night Ra, Java ma'am two days ago order the leaves of sweet potatoes for pecal vegetables for Sunday tomorrow" replied the mak after completing his work.

" Yes a lot today money mak" I'm kidding.

" You want five grand?" Said mak chimed in my jokes.

" Where are five thousand?"

" Can buy fried bananas" replied mak lightly.

" Are you full? Fry a banana already four five hundred silver" said I.

" Call me, if you buy rice, eat five of us lo Ra a day" said the mak boasting limaribu money that would be given to me.

" But today I'm payday loh mak" I said to mak.

" Ohh, doesn't that mean you're not being a five-thousand-grand dong?" Ask her kidding.

" No need, but this time Ara's salary is not divided, huh?" I said a little slowly, kasian always love mom, and this is my third salary.

" Us not papa, mak can ko share for enough, this is already excessive spending we a week ahead, the important healthy, healthy, your sister's happiness at school is not much kayak last week, just last week, sure enough and there are more" said the mak again, mak people are very calculated, but not stingy, mak so smart to manage finances, mak, so that mak can meet the needs of our children even though they rarely enjoy what is pocket money.

" Mak we use angkong aja bawain it sales mak "I propose, considering the most valuable mak property is only angkong branded Arco, which is the most valuable,

It used to be bought not knowing how to fight for it so be bought, but for me mak is very great, for the sake of facilitating his work he is willing to save a little, ignoring his personal needs.

" If the bananas are all in angkong ra, maybe too heavy, pushing it also needs strong power"

" Can't do mak" I said convincingly.

" Here help raise the banana" I said while bringing angkong closer to the banana that wants to be sold.

Suddenly he appeared near us, and realized that everything was in between.

" You're missing again" he said, feeling guilty.

" Oh father, it's still morning" said I held the angkong so as not to be toppled because of the weight of the other side.

He helped lift the banana and successfully raised the three banana bunches to the angkong, and I tried to lift and push the angkong, but it felt very heavy and did not match my body size, making you laugh.

" Want to bring the leaves ra?" Ask the mother who always asks for my approval.

" Oh, can a banana as much as you can, the leaves of a mild yam not as heavy as a banana can not be lifted?" I also convinced my mother.

Mak went to my sister's Luhut room, and woke her up to lock the front door and move into the room where our youngest sister Gomos slept, considering it was still morning and the three of us drove the mak sale to Saturday, with lazy and still sleepy Luhut obeyed the word mak.

I put back the yam leaves that have been tied to my head, the mak put the fruit of the cempokak in his hand and the cayenne pepper either when it was on his head, mak so excited to deliver the harvest, mak so eager to deliver the harvest, we also went hand in hand, the father pushed angkong and I held up the leaves of the yam, and the mak with a load on the head and a finger in his hand.

There was a boisterous sound of people from afar, still a hundred meters away to the tax center, it was already crowded with people who aimed the same as us, he said, and there are also many buyers who are looking for the best crops, some are fighting each other, interesting attractions and will end up in who offers the highest price, exciting to see the activities of people this morning under the lights of the road.

" How many bananas are you selling?" Suddenly from the front directly approached the father who had been bored pushing angkong.

" Thirty thousand" Mak answered immediately.

" Every time, love twenty-eight yes, good to see the banana, the market is only twenty-five the highest, can ask where, I just enough to take to the new week, I want to bring it to the new week, there is an order, if I want to take it, if I don't let me look for it" said the father who offered his banana mak.

Mak looked at the tired father, and he just kept quiet, made the father kasian and immediately nodded in agreement.

" Be sir" said the father agreeing to the price he called.

" But can't all of you be the same as my camper and cabo taken?" Ask me again.

" Cabe what?" Ask father earlier.

" Cayenne pepper, try to see good no?, the rawit market is only seven thousand five hundred and cempokak only a thousand enambratus, it's the highest price if good is so if less yes the price is also less" This father might have gotten used to it, making me admire him in trading.

" Yes no papa, can be seen ko" said the mother.

" Good cabemu, harvest to what?" Ask the father.

" Second harvest" said the honest mother.

" I took the cab eight thousand, and the clamp was one thousand six hundred, please weigh it," he said to someone who had followed him from earlier, and immediately worked on the man.

" The cab is almost eight kilos, a little bit more to eight, I've counted eight aja, means sixty-four thousand, his clap is five kilo eight thousand, he said, and add the banana three combs at times twenty-eight eighty-four thousand, a total of one hundred and fifty-six thousand huh" The father so smoothly counting, counting, with a slight scribble in his notebook all the goods have been counted how much he will pay.

Mak received the money with pleasure, heard the father who had spoken to a man who offered his garden chili pepper as well,

" Couldnya only seven thousand, chili mother has a lot of red, because my stuff all send out the area ma'am, so do not just take, because I do not like to disappoint my customers" The words we heard together made me and Mom smile.

Mak took me to the place of the Javanese mak who called earlier who ordered the leaves of the yam mak, while the father waited for us not far from the banana we took, we found the Javanese mak was arranging food at the table, and we were waiting for him to eat, there are a variety of fried and wet cakes, and there are also various breakfasts available, whether what time mak Jawa prepare it because there are still many warm ones.

" Mommy, here's the order"

" Ohh, you, quickly ngantarnya, later noon can also lo" said mak Jawa because it was nice to see the leaves of sweet potato mak and still young.

" All of you, the problem was to send bananas first, later twice the work" replied the mother.

" A minute, twenty ties right, the price is like yesterday's hundred and fifty"

" Yes, no papa" said the mother.

" It's three thousand yes" Mak Jawa gave six pieces of money pictured orangutans and received mak gladly.

" Ra, what are you buying? Want the cake no?" Mak offered me and I nodded.

" If we don't buy breakfast sja Ra, once not papa, we buy fried noodles soup huh?" Mak offers fried noodles, fried white vermicelli and doused vegetables in coconut milk with round eggs, our favorite food for children, obviously I nodded.

" How many mak, fried noodles?" Ask mak.

" Two thousand eggs, one thousand and five hundred without eggs, how much?"

" The one who uses three eggs, who does not use two eggs, mak, wrap a thousand fried bananas yes!"

Mak Jawa nimbly wrapped our order and just a few minutes later it was finished, mak gave five thousand two pieces to mak Jawa.

" The fry have been added yes, because it has become the first buyer, many of it" said mak Jawa happy.

After saying goodbye we came home when the morning was still dark, mak was so satisfied with the sale this morning, you were happy, it was not long before they were in tax selling their crops.
