"Ma.. Wake up, ma..!!"
Luccy shook Ningrum's body slightly. "Ma, wake... We pray at dawn, we pray" said Luccy, trying to wake up the woman who is now a surrogate mother.
Ningrum blinked both of his eyes. He saw that Luccy was wearing a face and preparing to pray together.
The woman flinched, then rose from her sleep. "What time, honey?" ningrum asked raucously, as he was still very sleepy.
There's still time for dawn prayers, Ma!" answer Luccy. Then he tried to gently pat Ningrum's cheek, and made the woman re-open her eyes.
Ningrum sighed. Then he got up from his sleep and went to the bathroom.
He cleaned himself up, and he gasped when he saw that he was coming for a monthly guest, which meant that he could not pray for a week.
Ningrum came out of the bathroom, and saw that Luccy was already sitting on the prayer mat he had stretched and one for him.
Ningrum sighed. He had to find an excuse to make the little girl understand. He walked over to Luccy who was looking at him.
"Honey.. You pray alone, yes.. Mama is on holiday again, because mama is on holiday that can be directly from Rabb," said Ningrum.
Luccy was silent, he felt confused by what the woman who became a surrogate mother said.
"You pray, first, because the time will run out, then mama explain!" Ningrum was trying to give an understanding to Luccy.
The little girl nodded her head, a sign that she was obeying what Ningrum said.
Luccy prayed alone. Like the gospel, he remembered his late father who never had a holiday in his prayers. Perhaps it is too early to understand what puberty is.
After he finished his prayer, he forgot about Ningrum's prayer holiday. Kuccy approached her mother who seemed to be preparing makeup equipment, it seemed like the woman was getting a job for a reception.
"What's your mom doing?" ask Luccy.
"Mama there can be a job to decorate the bride in the city next door. Because the distance is quite far, approximately 2 hours drive, then you can come, because this is a holiday!" ningrum.
"Can you really come, Ma?" luccy said gladly. Actually he could have stayed in the candidacy with Sary and other employees, but he was more happy if he went with Ningrum, because only the woman made him feel calm.
"Luccy can bring a change of clothes, Ma?" ask the little girl again.
Ningrum nodded his head, as he continued to reorganize all of his combat equipment.
They must immediately leave so as not to oversleep until the host.
Ningrum packed up his things and brought them down to the ground floor. Luccy tried to help by bringing along equipment that he could very easily carry.
Ningrum drove the car. The streets are still very quiet as they struggle on the asphalt roads and this will be the beginning for Luccy to feel how the mother struggles to get her money coffers.
The two joked around during the trip, and it turned out that Ningrum had friends on his way to making a living.
Arriving at the location of the reception, they were greeted with great joy, because the makeup artist is the main character in beautifying the bride.
Luccy began to get used to helping her. He brought the equipment into the bridal room.
Ningrum opened the suitcase of makeup tools, then started her work.
Slowly Luccy began to learn the name of the tool used by Ningrum and looked at the various types of cosmetics and stages that must be passed to make someone who is in the makeup turned beautiful.
Sometimes Luccy asked various alata that made him feel curious, and with patience Ningrum explained the name of the tool or cosmetics and its beauty.
Luccy slowly absorbed everything Ningrum explained, and the woman seemed to be very happy if Luccy seemed interested in the job she was doing.
At 10 p.m., they finally drove home because Luccy was going to school the next day.
On the way, Luccy had fallen asleep because it was late at night.
Entering the city and midway. Suddenly the car broke the tire. Although the atmosphere was still bustling, Ningrum looked a little scared if there was a robbery that just suddenly came.
When Ningrum was in a state of confusion, it seemed far away that a car slowed down and pulled over in front of his car.
A man got out of the car. Ningrum sighed as he knew who had gotten down from inside the car.
The other man was Bima who walked up to him with a ruffled waist and looked at him cynically.
"What are you doing on the side of the road and in the middle of the night like this? Is it with the death of your new husband that you feel lonely and want to sell your apem? But it's a pity, I'm not interested in your apem! There might be an old man interested in you!" cibir Bima very sharply.
Instantly Ningrum felt very hot to hear Bima's words. Although she is a lonely woman, abstinence for him to give his apem to men only deni pleasure for a moment, except at that time he was trapped by the jerk because of the influence of his loving science.
Ningrum did not want to serve the man. Although Bima had stopped in his life, but the man was really a nightmare for him.
"Go, You..!! I don't want to argue with you anymore!" ningrum replied, trying not to be provoked by all Bima's words.
The man laughed demeaningly. His gaze seemed to be sneering at Ningrum. Then he moved out from in front of the woman. But he paused for a moment, then turned his head towards Ningrum who was looking at him in annoyance.
"Oh, Yes.. If later your apem merchandise does not sell, then you can contact me.. Maybe I can buy it for five grand!" bima said before he actually left, then boarded his car and drove fast.
Ningrum's heart was like a sharp thorn. What a humiliation for him that was thrown by a man who has no conscience.
After Bima left from before him, Ningrum looked right and left, sometimes he looked back, hoping that someone could help him.
Not long after, the bike pulled over, and it turned out to be Rendy. Ningrum breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's up, Ma'am?" asked Rendy curiously.
"Please Ma'am, Ren.. The rear car tire broke!" answer Ningrum.
Rendy tried to check the truth. Then he called a repair shop and asked to bring a tow truck.
"Calm down, mbak.bak again the tow truck came. Where are the nights from?" ask Rendy curiously.
"From the city next door, make up the bride and groom, the night she came home!" answer Ningrum.
"Oh.. If you often go home at night be careful, Ma'am. Especially women, there are many crimes. Do not forget to always carry a spray bottle of perfume or pepper powder mixed with water, store it in a bag as a weapon if anyone intends to be evil, then spray it on his face.!" rendy suggested.
Ningrum nodded his head. There is a truth to the advice uttered by Rendy, what is wrong to try.
"Where are you from these nights?"
"Heeem.. Biological, Ma'am.. Andini again crave chicken geprek, so must be obedient. I was looking around the city, and the nemus was at the end of the intersection!" answered Rendy who seemed to carry a serving of chicken geprek.
Ningrum smiled at Rendy's words. Lagian Andini does not crave also when snacking, let alone cravings, snacking disease must be double.
Not long after, a tow truck came to Ningrum's car.then the car was towed to the workshop, and Rendy continued to follow him from the back, he wanted to make sure his wife's friend was safe to the workshop.
Seeing the night getting late, Rendy could not possibly let Ningrum be miffed with some men, she tried to accompany him.
Ningrum held me Luccy who was asleep. Because there's no way he's locked up in a car.
Rendy looked at Luccy who was asleep in Ningrum's lap. Rendy could not imagine what the fate of the little girl would be if she did not meet the woman.
Rendy is very familiar with Gibran. A man who is so kind and loyal, but who would be sad if he had to leave so soon.
After a while, everything was finished perfectly. Actually Ningrum was very reluctant to be accompanied by Rendy, but he felt safer if his best friend's husband accompanied him than the workshop workers.
"Thank you, Ren.. Give my regards to Andini!" ningrum said, then said goodbye to go home.
Rendy nodded her head, and went home.
*****
Bima arrived at her rented house. He parked his car in front of the porch, there was no garage, because he only contracted the house.
He sat quietly in the car. He remembered his meeting with Ningrum. It is undeniable, if his ex-wife is still beautiful like the beginning of meeting. Unlike Nora, which now increases its weight to 80 kg after giving birth.
Bima sighed, then got out of her car. As he was about to enter the porch, a phone call rang. One name from his mother, Sumi.
"Hallo, Mum.. What's the middle of the night calling?" ask Bima curious.
"Biu.. Hurry up to your sister Elly's house, mother and Ady are now on their way there, there's a very urgent matter!" sumi said in her phone call and immediately turned off her phone.
Bima had not had time to ask, but it seemed that the problems faced by her younger sister were so severe, that her mother looked panicked.
Bima re-entered the car and headed towards her sister's house.
Nora who had opened the door seemed confused as to why her husband had left again, and this made her very upset and suspicious.
Arriving at the home of Elly the sister, it appears the woman curled up in the corner of the room with a bruised body like being hit by a belt. While the citizens seemed to be crowded, they tried to break up the dispute that occurred between the married couple.
Budi looked so emotional and it was clearly visible from the look on his face. His breathing was stinging withstanding the anger that was lodged in him.
"What is this?! Why are you committing domestic violence?" bima asked with annoyance, because he did not accept if Budi beat his sister, but he forgot, if ever do that to Ningrum.
"Ask your sister! Is he a cheap wife who sells his apem for five thousand rupiahs! Very cheap, right? Does the living I give you by selling pock not make it enough?!" say Budi with annoyance.
Elly looked at him with a very upset look. He made love to his neighbors not for lack of a living, but because of the missiles owned by Budi who was considered unable to satisfy him.
Bima gasped to hear Budi's words. Didn't he just insult Ningrum? Then why did his insults turn to his own family? How fast does karma go?
Bima was silent unable to say anything. He turned to Elly who was now in his mother's arms.
"I divorced Elly. It is not right for me to have a wife who has been touched by another man! Now leave this house, I won't see you again!" said Budi with a very upset tone. Some residents tried to calm down the man who is currently being overwhelmed by anger.
"Patience, Budi. She's the mother of your child!" Said Mr. RT who tried to calm the man down.
But Budi no longer memubris what is said by anyone, he was determined, will not accept Elly back.
"Jew.. Don't make decisions in hot conditions, try to calm your heart!" bima said, trying to calm his sister-in-law.
Budi turned his head towards Bima, then with a cynical look he smiled sneered. "What do you know about patience? If you know the meaning, then it is unlikely that you will get married up to three times. Maybe Elly is following in your footsteps who likes to switch sides! You guys are the same, cheap and disgusting!!"
Bima stared in annoyance. He raised his fist to Budi, his tall body firm, certainly not balanced with Budi.
The man collapsed on the floor, then the residents broke up and dragged Bima out of Budi's house, if necessary to bring Elly at once, for fear Budi would torture Elly back if later no one accompanied.
Bima snorted her breath. Finally he chose to bring Elly home to Sumi-Mumunya, because there is no way he could take her home, because there will be a quarrel with Nora later.
