Mom, Why Am I Different?

Chapter 14

"Is it true that yesterday you and Mama went to Rani's house?" niko asked as she looked at Niken who was starting to get scared.

"I ..." Niken's not finished answering Sarah's question directly to her son.

"Well, what if we go there?" sarah replied as she walked closer to Niken who started to tear up.

"Why should Mama go there, isn't it enough that Mama and the late Papa separated me from Rani?" asked Niko with a slight shout to the mother.

"Niko, Mama and Papa are doing this for your own good so that you don't live suffering in the streets!" snapped Sarah while looking at Niko sharply.

"Niko is an adult, has even become a father so please do not interfere in Niko's life again and now give the letters that Rani gave to you," niko asked for proof of marriage to Niken and Sarah.

"I gave the letter to my family's lawyer, and what I heard was that the divorce process had begun" Niken replied, looking down.

"What, if I was told to choose between you and Rani of course I chose Rani, you know why? Because she is fertile and can give me offspring," said Niko as she approached Niken's face which began to cry.

"Niko take care of your words, such a deaf child what to be proud of!" snapped Sarah to Niko while hugging Niken's crying shoulder.

"At least he can still give me offspring, rather than Mama's favorite daughter-in-law who is just a barren woman who is useless," Niko replied as she glanced at Niken.

"Plak," Sarah who had begun to get upset with the attitude of the son immediately slapped Niko quite hard.

"From today I will leave this house and return to Rani" Niko said as she stepped towards the door.

Niken who had been crying in the arms of the in-laws immediately ran towards Niko. While crying she continued to persuade even begging niko not to leave her. Seeing her favorite daughter-in-law crying to prostrate at Niko's feet, Sarah immediately pulled Niken's hand to stand up.

"Stand up, you don't have to cry for this man" Sarah said, asking Niken to stand up.

"But Ma, Niken loves Mas Niko very much" Niken replied in tears.

"Go after the woman, but remember do not expect you will get the inheritance and all the facilities you have at this time. Quickly leave, and go back to being the badass you used to be!" sarah snapped while driving Niko out of her house.

For a moment, Niko was silent without answering her words. She remembers her difficult life with Rani. Wake up early and go to the market only as a pelvic porters with very small salaries.

Long enough Niko thought about what path she should take. Still choose Rani with the risk of being a porters and poor life or stay with Niken with abundant wealth. After thinking for quite a while Niko finally returned to her room with a face that was still very upset.

"You don't have to worry about losing Niko, Mama knows she won't be able to live poor with the village's women" Sarah said, smiling triumphantly.

"I don't want to live poor anymore like I used to, but I also can't lie to my feelings who still love Rani so much" Niko said while sitting in the bedroom.

When Niko was daydreaming suddenly she was surprised by the arrival of Niken. As if to take the heart of the husband Niken began to try to seduce Niko with his embrace. With a smile Niken began to whisper beautiful words in the ears of the husband.

"Stay with me Mas, I guarantee that your life will not be difficult and you will still be in possession, because all your Papa's inheritance is all in my hands" whispered Niken with a cynical smile.

"Do you think I'm afraid of losing all these possessions, jobs and luxury facilities?" ask Niko while standing up.

"Well, if you want to go, please, but if you know that I told Mama that if you leave me, I guarantee that your entire property will be frozen in no time," niken replied while sitting down and crossing her legs.

"You're a cunning woman!" niko snapped while pointing towards Niken.

Elsewhere I began to get busy with my activities as an online writer on a paid app. Apart from being a writer, I also always come to the house of Miss Santi to do my job as a scrub laborer. Until one day when I was busy writing with Mia suddenly appeared a notification from her phone. 

"What is this boy?" askaku while showing a message from one of the paid apps.

"Let me see Ma'am" Mia replied as she took the phone from my hand. 

"What is Ma'am, because all this time I have never gotten any messages from the application," I told Mia who was still seriously reading the message.

"This is the first salary notification of Ms. Rani, and the amount is 3 million rupiah," Mia replied happily.

"God willing, is Rani serious?" I ask who still does not believe.

"Yes, look right" Mia explained, showing me the message.

"Alhamdulillah, but how can I take it Ma'am, while I do not have an account number," I asked curiously.

"How about if Mbak Rani use my account number first, later after there is money Mbak Rani can make his own account," replied Mia with a smile.

"Yes Ma'am I agree, I can't wait to invite Luna to go to the front minimarket" said I while looking happy.

I did submit some stories with different titles in some apps. However, I did not expect that I could get the results of my writing so quickly. Even with a number that I think is very large.

"O Allah thank you for the sustenance you have given me" my heart held back my tears.

"Bak Rani, want to withdraw all the money?" mia asked me to be surprised.

"Oh yes Mbak in pull all, because I want to buy the tool," I said while pointing to an object that I think is similar to television.

"Oh laptop," Mia replied with a smile.

"Yes laptop I mean," I said, a little embarrassed.

"What are you doing, you've been listening to so much noise?" ask Miss Santi while holding Luna.

"I'm sorry that Rani has been noisy at Mother's house, Rani is only happy because today Rani gets her first salary from writing," I replied with a smile.

"Are you serious?" santi asked as if she had convinced myself.

"Yes Ma'am, it's being pulled together Mia Ma'am" I replied with a proud and happy expression.

"Alhamdulillah, congratulations Rani, I believe you can definitely succeed with your works" replied Miss Santi proudly.

"Hopefully after this I can get even more results," my inner self with a happy smile.
