My Mom Dear My Mom is Poor

Chapter 29's

Evening arrived, the atmosphere which was originally so bright and filled with the chirping of seagulls on the tree, had now changed into pitch black, only the sound of crickets was heard.

Husna, at that time he was busy to prepare everything for their dinner tonight.

"Come on, add more charcoal!" Pinta Husna to Rio who at that time helped him make a fire for him to use roasting chicken that he had laced with spices.

"This is the one with the show where's mom? Why am I even bothered like this?" Complain Rio but still he with his busyness makes fire.

"Your sister might still be sleeping inside, let it go first, she must be exhausted. She's leaving anyway, why are you still jealous of her?!" Answer Husna lightly.

"I'm tired too, Mom."

"He??! What fatigue?!" Husna also glanced towards Rio with a look as if cornered.

"Of course I'm tired, since the morning has helped mom transport the crops to the market, the afternoon when mom and sister leave, I have to prepare my own lunch even I have to brush the bathroom, I have to clean the bathroom, and the night, I had to face the fire."

"Haaaiisss, you're this! For such a thing it still complains."

"The problem is not that, Mom! the problem is, mom treats me differently than sister! Not just different, even very different, mom!!" Reveal Rio emotionally.

Husna who was originally busy with onion, immediately stopped his activity when he heard the words of his youngest child.

"What's wrong with me? Why am I treated differently? Is it just because I'm not as smart as you?" Reveal Rio again who continuously showered Husna with all kinds of questions that had been stuck in his heart.

"Mom doesn't know why it's like this either, son. Never experienced the loss of a baby girl that even the mother had not had time to hear her crying voice, let alone hug her. It was very difficult, and it caused a deep sadness. Until finally Melati is present, she changes everything, changing the life of the mother who initially felt dark, into full of happiness. Melati mother considers as a substitute for Karmila, and mother is very afraid of losing for the second time." Husna murmured softly in his heart, which at that time suddenly imagined how sad he was when he had to lose Karmila, and then changed when how happy he was when he managed to give birth to a daughter named Melati.

"Why do you just shut up mom?" Ask Rio again.

The question managed to break Husna's daydream at that time, Husna was immediately jolted, then quickly wiped away a drop of tears that began to flow without her knowing before.

"Ah, it is already! All right, you've worked hard enough today, in return, you can eat roasted chicken tonight." Said Husna then who no longer wanted to take a headache.

"That's all??!"

"Haaaiss, then what else do you want ha?! Didn't you also get a new shirt?!" Husna also returned to glare at his son.

"Hehehe I want to eat chicken as much as tonight, not in rations as before." Replied Rio who started to cry.

"Haaaaiiisss!!!" Husna seemed to start growling while clenching her teeth.

"Deal??!" Rio asked again who started sticking his little finger at the mother.

Husna remained silent and looked for a moment at the little finger before him and the face of his son in turn.

"Ah come on mom!! I've worked hard today, give a little appreciation for me." Whiney Rio who was acting like a child back then.

Husna was infuriated, but also he could not do anything, because before Rio continued to corner him.

"Aaaah it's up to you!!!" Husna finally.

Rio smiled with satisfaction and returned to his busy life as before, while Husna, almost made asphyxiated with her son's behavior that was so annoying when it came to food.

Yes, if Husna is quite annoying when it comes to child affairs, then so is Rio. Although it can be said that the life that Rio lived was quite sad because he was born poor and often ignored by his mother, but when it comes to food matters, Rio was also just as annoying.

Rio is very fond of eating, whatever kind of food served Husna, he always tripe up, even sometimes, after finishing his food, he always, Rio also began to turn to the food belonging to his brother who often ate not exhausted.

A few minutes passed, Aryo finally came out of the house and chose to sit on the terrace.

"Mas, why just sit there? Come on over here and help me out." Pinta Husna gently.

"Dad, why don't you help me?!" Said Rio then.

"What are you doing?" Aryo turned towards Rio.

"I was told to make coals well, but I seem to have a little trouble." Complain Rio put on a face of bleakness.

"Honey, it's okay if you can't help me, but help Rio, this is the first time for him so maybe it will be difficult for him" Husna also said.

Aryo also let out a rough breath.

"Oh baby, this is for Melati who will leave tomorrow, at least there should be a dinner party even if it is simple for farewell." And Husna again.

Aryo is loud, but this time somehow he softened when he heard the word farewell party for Melati.

"Eeemm yes, yes, yes." Aryo also got up from his seat and walked in a hurry to get to Rio.

"Here, leave it to me! You just do the other one." Said Aryo who took over Rio's duties.

"Ah well well, thank you." Rio was getting more and more together and immediately covered because honestly, since then he had already felt the heat on his face due to being close to the fire.

The fire was ready, the chicken began to be placed on it. Along with that, Melati finally came out with her wet hair.

"Dare you, baby, are you awake, son?" Husna asked as she realized Melati's presence.

Rio and Aryo turned to Melati at the same time,

"Hi princess, good night, how did you sleep? Is it sound." Sindir Rio gently.

"Hey, stop insinuating him!" Husna also glared while gently hitting his son's arm.

Melati, could only shake her head while smiling faintly, though,

"Not only did I wake up, I even took a bath." Melati smiled and sat down next to her mother.

"Geez, baby, you take a bath when it's night. You'll catch a cold." Husna's face immediately looked anxious.

"Mom, stop being so overdone on me. After all I think 'sick from the night bath' is just an old myth spread by the ancestors of the past. The fact is that the night shower is actually good mom, because at night our bodies are in an inactive state, and the night shower is also proven to reduce fatigue and make the body relax again, so that it can make the night sleep more soundly and quality." Obviously Melati to her mother who turned out to be quite a colot.

"Haaa?! Really so?"

"Of course, scientists have proved it, ma'am." Answer Melati with confidence.

"Oh my goodness, why did I know that?!" Husna also began to scratch his head that did not itch.

"So from now on you should be able to learn to remove that old stigma, ma'am."

"My son is very smart." Husna proudly embraced her son.

"Oh my gosh, not only is this kid smart, it's also very fragrant right now." Husna continued to tease Melati,

"Well, mom, that's too much."

"Hehehe, over-stating your own child doesn't hurt." Husna smiled too.

...Seriate......
