CPTR IX: WHICH ALWAYS HELPS

This month malls in the city center held massive discounts. Maya has almost twice received the notification from her email.

The massive discounts offered sound so tempting. There are all sorts of secondary purposes at her disposal and Maya is confident she can find them at the mall today.

But his face was hurriedly sour when he remembered the amount of money in his account. He may not have enough money to eat until the end of the month if he goes to the mall today.

Maya shook her head, then refocused on writing on her laptop. Ten minutes later the thought came again. The smell of a new shirt, a shoebox that felt rough after buying, all those memories revolved around his head.

Maya feels that she can't take it anymore and wants to go to the mall right now. When he finally stuck with his writing, Maya also made it as an alibi.

Maya got up and without a second thought was immediately changed by her street clothes. He's going to the mall. On condition only to look around.

After finishing changing Maya directly walked out of the boarding to the bus stop on the protocol road. It only took five minutes for the bus to arrive.

The journey to the mall passed quickly. During that time Maya also continued to imagine about beautiful items that she might be able to get at super cheap prices.

It feels impossible, but there is no harm in trying, right?

Maya is a 30-year-old woman. With her financial condition, she knew that she would never be able to be their crazy woman and buy expensive and famous items.

Therefore Maya always trained her sensitivity to get good goods at affordable prices. Arriving at the mall, Maya is immediately greeted by a large hanging discount banner.

The characteristic mal aroma and the cold AC that hit his face quickly relaxed the tense nerves in his head.

Maya quickly looked around, clothes, small electronic equipment, to various types of furniture.

Looking at the prices offered, Maya could only swallow. Even after the cut, the price was still too expensive for him.

It made Maya sad, as sad as the condition of her wallet, but she still forced herself to look around.

All types of shops in it, furniture, clothing, to shoes. Maya several times even tried on some clothes to comfort her.

After being satisfied to try expensive clothes that she could not possibly buy, Maya stops at a jewelry store that looks magnificent from the outside.

From out here, the jewelry store looks quite crowded. The employees seem busy serving the customers who are scattered.

Maya also nosily decided to enter and look around. With this condition it is impossible for employees to realize its existence and he can look around without being asked what they want to buy.

Maya arrives at a showcase showing off beautiful rings for a year's worth of costs. It looks beautiful and looks so attractive.

Maya approaches and continues to admire him. If only someone would buy it...

"Mbak, animation. Please this one."

Maya was surprised, suddenly felt excited instead of playing because someone could read her mind and buy her the ring. Maya turned around and looked surprised.

It was the man the other day who offered her an impromptu modeling job. Erwin Kolandam's.

"Eh? The owner of the cafe?"

"Well, we'll see you again. Where was the princess' dress that time?"

Maya frowned slightly disturbed with the guyonan of the man.

"Handering doang. It seems you're free today."

"Lumayan. Btw, thank you for your work. I didn't expect that much to pay."

"Aren't models paying that much?"

"Times?"

"Yes. How much are you getting paid?"

"Because was the first."

"Seriously? Then you're not a model?"

Maya shakes.

Erwin paused for a moment then chuckled, "Crazy, I'm completely unconscious."

Maya just nodded a clumsy little.

As the two were conversing, the store employee quickly passed the bill to Erwin and Erwin immediately handed over his credit card.

Seeing all this Maya just fell silent while gulping.

When the employee finally handed over a neat package containing a ring Maya immediately said, "Lou's boyfriend is very lucky."

"Oh this? It's for my sister. He's his birthday today. I don't know what I want to do so I'm here. Do girls like this?"

Maya nodded small.

Erwin smiled then the two slowly walked out of the shop. Out there suddenly Erwin had to receive a phone call.

"Sorry." Erwin immediately went to one of the nearby pillars and picked up his phone there.

"Yes, of course. Ah, it's troublesome. Just tell Gama I can't come, Ma. Okay. Thanks very much. Next sunday? I don't know. Ok, bye."

Erwin's face quickly turned crumpled after receiving the phone. The curious Maya quickly flirted by asking, "Why did you think?"

"Ah, yes, there's always such family gatherings."

"Your families are familiar."

"Haha not either. Are you busy tonight?"

"I don't think so, why?"

"What if I come to my cafe? I have something to show you."

"What?"

"Had come by."

Maya finally nodded. Erwin smiled with satisfaction and pulled out his phone and said, "May I have the number?"

Maya does what Erwin asks and fills out her contacts.

"Ok, don't forget about the night!"

Then Erwin just left. Maya is still standing at the scene confused by the recent incident.

Maya shrugged her shoulders trying to go where the current was taking her.

　

***

　

A cluster of white smoke billowed as Hilda's sister lifted the frying cover. Hilda, her older sister, and her younger sister are now sitting around a small stove in the middle of their living room for their small-burning event.

Inside their parents' house, the three sat close together to keep the remaining warmth.

The old house that was purchased when Hilda was a child is now occupied by Hilda alone. Her older sister Raika lives in the next town and works there.

While her younger sister Aulia lives with her husband in another corner of the city.

The three of them have always been familiar, playing together, even having the same things is not a strange thing.

When their father finally died, the three were forced to inherit the father's debts that accumulate.

They divide the amount of debt. Even so, due to personal busyness and needs as well, in the end Hilda bore the most.

Even so, Hilda never protested or commented on all that.

He always gave all his salary to pay the debt and set aside a little money for his needs every day.

As a result Hilda was unable to buy new clothes that were decent enough, she wore the same shoes in the last 10 years, even carrying the same bag since college.

But now he can breathe a little. His father's entire debt was paid off just a week ago. Now the three of them can live a more peaceful life.

Raika took the largest piece of cooked meat and placed it on top of Hilda's rice bowl. Hilda smiled. But finally he realized his younger sister Aulia was craving the meat.

Hilda simply gave it to him and Aulia ate it vigorously.

Raika who was stifled knocked on Aulia's head with chopsticks and Aulia groaned in pain.

"Ouch! Sick tau!"

"That's for Hilda! Why did you even take it?"

"Sister Hilda loved you!"

Hila smiled at the behavior of the two and said, "Eat, I don't like meat very much."

Hilda then fried the cabbage and ate it in silence. Seeing this all Raika could only let out a long sigh. Hilda's habit of always giving up sometimes makes her upset.

They say in a family the first and last child is always fighting. They rarely talk about the nature of the middle child who has to succumb in all situations.

With such a mindset eventually Hilda learned to give in and not to fuss over small things like food.

She ate what was left, she took what was not desirable, that way, she grew into a strong woman who was not much picky.

In the middle of it all, Raika who was flipping her flesh suddenly asked, "Where is Vino?"

Aulia swallowed her flesh and asked, "Yes, what is Vino's sister?"

"Well right. He's been busy working on his project lately."

Aulia mangguk-mangguk, "Kak Vino is the top. It's been cool, well, his career's steady too. What a dream husband."

Hilda squinted her eyes and asked, "Lo doesn't want to cheat with Vino, right?"

"Did? Not that!"

Hilda continued to observe the changing expression of Aulia. Next to her, Raika also looks suspicious and immediately rolls her eyeballs.

Hilda who smelled the smells of obscurity immediately asked, "Why is it every time we gather that Vino mulu discussed? You guys like him?"

Raika put down her plate then replied, "Like the hell. But it's not like who wants to be her boyfriend."

Aulia agreed with the words of Raika.

"Yes on?" ask Hilda.

"We both talked about this a few times, like, you fit Vino."

Hilda immediately put on an astonished expression and looked at the two in turn.

"What the hell? How about ginian?"

Aulia and Raika looked at each other. The two were silent for a moment then Raika started to tell me, "Gini, so there's someone I want to tell. Actually was.... All this time I'm the same Aulia absolutely can not kumpulin money to joint pay our bokap debt."

Hilda frowned, "I mean? People every month you two always transfer to my account make a joint venture."

Aulia and Raika looked at each other once again. Aulia spilled all the honesty in the end, "Actually sister.... Who paid for Aulia's share of Raika's brother was Vino's sister. From the beginning he paid. 8 years ago we both met him in the bank. We're talking about papa's debt. He finally decided to help. Just so, don't tell Brother Hilda."

Raika took a long breath. "Now the debt is done. So I don't think it's okay for this story."

Hilda looked at the two in disbelief. His eyes sparkled and for some reason suddenly filled with water. There was a deep sense of disappointment that eroded the surface of his heart.

Hilda put down the plate then stood up and left just like that.

With quick steps she went out of the house still barefoot. He looked up into the air and let out a long breath.

He did not expect that Vino had always paid for the share of Raika and Aulia every month. The number is certainly so much more than the Hilda section itself.

Hilda sighed, tears slowly pouring down her cheeks.

His breathing became uncontrollable due to the feeling of pain in his heart.

Hilda pulled out the phone, then called Vino.

"Hello."

"Hello, Vin. Lo where? I want to talk about it."

"OK."
