My Mom Dear My Mom is Poor

Chapter 16's

In just over two hours, Husna's merchandise finally left unnoticed. With a smile that was so bright, Husna continued to look at the coffers of money he held. Incidentally, today the yam he harvested from the garden amounted to much more than yesterday, making his income today also double than before. It could happen because today he came home faster than dropping off Melati, to make it more time to harvest yams.

"With this kind of money, I can buy rice and fish in this market, Melati would definitely be very happy if I cooked fish." Husna murmured inwardly with his ever-expanding smile.

Husna rushed to pack his things, then began to walk through the market to find a fish trader.

"Come on, fish, fish, fish, still fresh mom let's go." The fish traders began to sound.

Husna also smiled again and with that spirit immediately approached one of the fish traders who was not far from him at that time.

After asking about the price of almost all the fish, Husna finally dropped the option on the yellow-shelled fish, which is the cheapest fish.

After getting everything she needed, Husna rushed home to cook a special menu for her husband and children's lunch.

"I'm really looking forward to cooking these fish, and seeing how happy they are to eat my food." Husna chirps alone while looking back at the plastic bag containing some fish that he just bought.

In the middle of the road, he accidentally saw a grandmother who was selling a chicken-shaped piggy bank, a piggy bank that looks so sturdy because it is made of clay. For some reason, it was suddenly Husna's heart was moved to buy one of the piggy banks with the remaining money of his trade today. He began to think about saving early on to prepare for the future of Melati, especially for his education later.

Upon arriving at home, Husna immediately put all the trade equipment and also his groceries in the kitchen, then quickly reached back his pants pocket to take the rest of the money he had. He was silent for a moment when he looked at the money that was only 10 thousand rupiahs left, then turned to look at the piggy bank he was holding.

"It's okay, I'll save everything, it's for Melati's sake, for Melati's future." He murmured inwardly which then without a second thought, directly put the money into the piggy bank.

Husna rushed the piggy bank into the room and hid it under the bed.

"Nobody should know this piggy bank, especially Aryo mas." Mumbled again.

After that, Husna returned to the kitchen and started cooking with a good feeling.

How not, the life is all lacking, making fish, a very ordinary food menu, becomes very special for them because so rarely do they consume it.

One hour Husna struggled in the kitchen, finally he was finished in all cooking business. Just a few minutes later, Rio who had just returned from his Kindergarten suddenly appeared in the kitchen.

Yes, every day Rio was always home with his friends who were picked up by his mother, coincidentally their house is not far from Rio's house.

"Well, what's mom cooking? Why does it smell so good, Mom?" Rio's asking surprised Husna.

"Rio! Oh, my God, you just surprised mom."

"Eeemm sorry ma'am."

"Mother today is cooking fried fish and pumpkin vegetables." Husna replied as he began to serve his cooking on a table covered with wood.

"Don't you???!! Did you really cook fish today? You didn't lie, did you?" Hearing the word fish, making Rio's eyes immediately sparkle with excitement.

"Where ever did my mother lie. Just look at yourself." Answer Husna relax.

Rio rushed towards the dining table, where Husna served his dishes.

"Well, this must be really good." Chirps Rio while looking at the pile of fried fish that was inside a plate.

At that time Husna did not answer with any word other than with a faint smile.

"Mom, I'm so hungry, can I eat it right now?" Rio asked as he started to grab one fish.

But again, the action was successfully failed quickly by Husna. Husna quickly held back the tiny hand, with the look of her eyes staring a little sharply, Husna said.

Poor Rio, again only able to put on a sad face, with his sweet lips, and a body that seemed to instantly become lethargic, he again asked, asking,

"What difference does it make to eat now or later, Mom? I'm so hungry, mom, why can't I eat first?" He asked, still putting on a sad face.

But it did not seem enough to make Husna's heart soften, he still did not change his mind and still numbered melati unites.

"Wait a minute, your brother will be home soon."

Rio was silent, in fact it was all he could do, because talking a lot did not actually make the mother melt. Husna was still Husna, had felt the pain of losing a daughter, making it now so excessive in loving his daughter, Melati, and her family, to make him forget if he also has a son that he must think about his feelings and psychic.

20 Minutes of waiting with a state of the stomach that increasingly sounds because of hunger, finally Melati came home. Rio's face suddenly returned radiantly when he found his older sister who had just entered the door.

"Sister." Shouted Rio who was directly approaching Melati.

"You why Rio? Why does it look so happy?" Ask Melati.

"Sister, today's mom cooks good sister, mom cooks fish." Said Rio who at that time immediately embraced the arms of the big brother.

"Well, really?"

"Yes sister, mom cook fried fish and vegetable pumpkin, let's eat now brother, I'm already very hungry." Invite Rio while holding his stomach which has indeed been feeling rumbling since.

"If you're hungry, why don't you eat first?!"

"So I know the answer, you won't let me eat before you go home and have to eat together." Clearly Rio with a soft look.

"Eeemm all right, let's eat." Melati smiled and immediately embraced her little sister entering the house,

Shortly Husna who came out of the kitchen, immediately sumringah his face when he found Melati who turned out to have gone home from school.

"Dare you come home, baby??"

"Yes ma'am,"

"Oh yeah baby, guess what mom cooked today? I'm sure you'll be very happy." Husna looked very excited because she wanted to give a little surprise to her daughter.

"Fried fish and pumpkin vegetables, right, ma'am?" Answer instant Jasmine.

Husna was immediately stunned when the surprise was no longer a surprise according to his shadow.

"Rio, did you tell your sister?!"

Even the plain Rio just nodded.

"Geez! why do you dare to go ahead of mom like that?! I want to surprise your sister!!"

"Yes ma'am I'm sorry, I'm so hungry, so as soon as you see your sister coming home, I want to take her to eat." Clearly Rio was shriveled while continuing to lower his head in fear of his mother.

"Mother don't get angry, Rio's not wrong mom, he's just hungry, why don't you let him eat first? Why wait for me?" Jasmine who was innocent began to feel compassion for her sister who at that time looked so frightened and sad.

Hearing the words of Melati, making Husna feel cornered and unable to say anything more, he finally immediately invited the two to eat to divert the topic of discussion.

...Seriate......
