Mom, Why Am I Different?

Chapter 20

The next day I took Luna to go to the market to buy things that I would use to open a small rice shop. After shopping all the necessities and put it at home. I immediately rushed to Miss Santi's house.

"Assalamualaikum" I said, knocking on the door.

"Waalaikumsalam," Mia replied as she opened her door.

"Eh Mbak Rani, let's go in let's sit down first Ma'am," said Mia while inviting us to sit down.

"Thank you Ma'am, but I seem to be working straight away, so it's not too late" I replied with a smile.

"Please then Ma'am, Luna here is just like Auntie," said Mia while inviting Mia to walk towards the middle room.

I rushed to the backyard to wash my clothes and iron. Almost 3 hours I run my duties at Miss Santi's house. After I finished I immediately walked to the living room to meet Mia and Luna

"Mia's mom is Mom home?" I asked Mia after I sat under the sofa.

"Oh Mother, then I'll call you a minute" replied Mia as she walked into the mother's room.

After waiting almost 10 minutes Mia and Miss Santi came out of the house. With a friendly smile, Miss Santi sat next to Luna. Seeing that Miss Santi and Mia were already sitting on the sofa I began to explain the meaning of my arrival here.

"Before I want to apologize to Mother and Mother Mia if all this time I've been a lot of trouble," I said while looking down.

"Mom never felt bothered, instead we are happy to be able to help you and Luna," replied Miss Santi while hugging Luna's shoulder.

"Look Mom, it looks like from tomorrow I can't come here anymore" I said with a bit of hesitation and fear.

"Well, why, Ma'am, has there been a mistake in our attitude all this time?" mia asked me while surprised.

 "No Ma'am, I want to open a rice stall business at home thank God my savings are enough to open a rice stall," I replied as I turned towards Mia.

"Alhamdulillah if you can open your own business, but do not forget to often play here yes," said Miss Santi to me.

"God willing, if I have a holiday, I will play here to visit Miss Santi and Mia" I replied with a smile.

"But Mbak Rani continued to write, because I saw the writings of Mbak Rani has read a lot so it's a pity if you have to stop" Advice Mia to me.

"God willing Ma'am, oh yes Mbak the phone I borrowed yesterday is still at home, God willing if I have bought a new one I will immediately return it," I told Mia.

"That's a memento for Mbak Rani" Mia replied with a smile.

After talking for a long time, Luna and I went home. After putting Luna to sleep I rushed to the kitchen to start preparing cooking spices for tomorrow. Some of the food menu has been successfully cooked within 3 hours. 

"Thank God some of the dishes for tomorrow are ready, there are a few more that are not ready" I said as I stood and walked towards the living room.

While I was busy with the food menu to sell tomorrow. Niko was busy finding out about the pads she found in her bathroom yesterday. After lunch Niko invited Niken to check the content.

"Darling, how about tomorrow I take you to check the contents, tomorrow I happen to have a lot of empty schedules," Niko asked the wife.

"Not that you always check the content every 15th, why now you say there is no check schedule?" niko asked as she looked at Niken who was drinking a cup of water in the glass.

"Let Mama take Niken to the Obstetrician, oh yes not today you say you will go to Rani's house to visit your disabled daughter," replied Sarah as she continued to enjoy her food.

"Mama, please don't insult my daughter like that" Niko told Sarah.

"But it's true that the child is just a useless disabled child" Sarah replied with a contemptuous smile.

"Have Ma not made Mas Niko angry, what is your son's name Mas?" niken said as if to take Niko's heart.

"Luna," Niko replied briefly while looking annoyed.

After enjoying his breakfast Niko immediately stood up and walked out of the house without saying goodbye to Sarah and Niken. Seeing the husband who walked out Niken immediately stood up and chased after Niko who left in a state of anger. Sarah just smiled at the attitude of her son.

"What can be proud of a disabled child like Luna" Sarah said, wiping her mouth.

"Mas! Wait a minute," cried Niken as he ran after Niko.

"What's up?" niko asked briefly while stopping in front of Niken.

"You won't kiss me before you leave" Niken replied with a sweet smile.

Without answering Niko immediately kissed the wife's forehead and then rubbed Niken's stomach is still flat. Sarah secretly notices Niko and Niken who are making out on the porch. When Niken entered Sarah immediately pulled her daughter-in-law's hand towards the sofa.

"Why didn't you stand up for Mama in front of Niko" Sarah protested to her favorite daughter-in-law.

"It's not that Ma, if we continue to insult Rani and her son I'm afraid Mas Niko will urge me to come with him to the hospital" explained Niken as she whispered slightly.

"You're right, but it looks like he's already starting to get suspicious, aren't you doing anything to make him suspicious?" ask Sarah to make sure.

"I don't think so, all this time I also looked calm" replied Niken while slightly remembering something.

After chatting with the in-laws Niken immediately went into his room. When in the room Niken directly headed to the bathroom to just urinate. While tidying his pants suddenly Niken looked towards the trash cans that were already messy. Niken began cleaning up the waste that had been scattered in the bathroom.

"Why is this garbage falling like this" Niken said as he cleaned up the garbage scattered on the bathroom floor.

While tidying up the trash he saw a used sanitary pad. Slowly he began to ascertain what the pads were that he threw away a few days ago. After making sure if it's true Niken's bandage was immediately surprised.

"Don't Mas Niko look at these pads, no. Mas Niko must not see this thing in this room, "inner Niken hasten to tidy up the garbage and bring it to the kitchen.

"The bomb quickly disposes of this garbage in the future" Niken ordered his household assistant.

"Well Ma'am," Mbok replied while receiving a black plastic bag from Niken's hand.

"Why am I that careless, may Mas Niko not see the pads" Niken said, rubbing his face violently.
