Bima has reached the project location. He delivered 2 boxes of Welding wire to Ady and asked the workers to prepare the welding.
After that walk to Ma'am Raini's canteen to pay for cigarettes and cold drinks.
Arriving at Raini's mbak stall, he was greeted with an annoyed look by Mbak Raini who had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Apaan si, Ma'am.. His face was so salty" said Bima who plucked a pack of crackers stuck in a juice storefront cabinet.
Mbak Raini took her breath in annoyance "Eh.. Kang.. Your debt has accumulated.. Want to pay off debt again? If you can't pay for everything that was paid keq.." said Mbak Raini annoyed.
Bima looked at Mbak Raini with a face that did not like "Mbak.. I told you, if later my project money out I will pay" Bima replied no less upset.
Mbak Raini was flabbergasted to hear Bima's answer, he had been patient let alone Bima's debt was very much at all, and this was already intolerable.
"I am trading, Mom.. Need capital turnover" the two exchanged mouths dikantin and became the center of attention of customers who are corporate entrepreneurs and other contractors.
Not wanting to be the attention of other customers, Bima chose to go and move to the cafeteria next door. Then he bought a pack of side-cantin cigarettes and for starters.
After the departure of Bima, Mbak Raini who was very upset, especially He saw Bima heading to the cafeteria next to him, and of course this makes Mbak Raini more upset and felt like he wanted to hit Bima.
Mom Raini lost her patience. He opened his phone, then sought a name that he had once taken from Bima's phonsel.
Madam Raini who was burning with emotion immediately contacted the number.
The number rings, and indicates if the owner is active. Then the call is connected.
"Hallo.." a woman's voice from across there, so softly.
Momentary Mbak Raini took a slow breath and tried to control his heartbeat while ink was in a state of full of anger.
"Hallo.." replied Mbak Raini trying as calmly as possible.
"Yes.. With who?" ask the woman across the phone over there.
For a moment Mbak Raini was silent, but he had run out of sense against Bima.
"Is this Kang Bima's wife?" mbak Raini asked in a very careful tone.
For a moment the voice across the phone was silent and looked silent.
There was a deep breath and a very heavy sigh.
"Yes.. Now I'm his wife, what's the matter, ma'am?" the woman replied, which was none other than Ningrum.
Mbak Raini was relieved, because he did not call people wrong.
"I'm sorry, sorry, Mom.. But I have no other choice, I've run out of sense against Kang Bima." said Mbak Raini in a soft tone.
Instantly Ningrum sensed that something was going on and for sure this was very important. Ningrum's heart began to be uncomfortable and felt if this all really made him will be affected by the actions or mass created by Bima.
"Look, Ma'am.. Kang Bima owed me a cigarette and ate my pocket which has reached almost 3 million rupiah, while I needed the money for my capital turnover" Mbak Raini explained.
Deeeeeeeegh's chat..
Ningrum's heart stopped beating. Not one or two times Bima always make trouble and surely everything will deal with money and drag it into the problem.
"There, Ma'am... Ntar I photographed and I sent via WA yes." said Mbak Raini.
"Yes, Mother.. Sorry yes, Ma'am if my husband has inconvenienced his mother." said Ningrum trying to continue to be patient.
"Together, Ma'am." said Mbak Raini, then disconnected his phone and opened his bon notebook and looked for the name of Bima who became one of the debtors with the most records.
After finding Bima's name in the book, he photographed her and sent it to Ningrum.
Mbak Raini hopes that Ningrum can solve the debt problem.
Ningrum received a notification from an image message in his WA.
He can already guess if the sender of the anonymous message is the Ma'am canteen who claimed that Bima had owed a lot of food and cigarettes that had accumulated.
As he read the message, sure enough, it was the details of Bima's order that he never paid.
It is natural to accumulate like that if a cigarette a day two packs and it is very burdensome for canteen owners who also require capital turnover.
Ningrum did not understand why Bima was so happy to owe and difficult to pay.
"Whether it is a hobby or a disease that has become a habit.
Ningrum can no longer say anything about Bima's behavior that somehow made it difficult to cover her debts that continue to come relentlessly.
As she tries to calm herself down, Sary knocks on her door and says that her mother-in-law is waiting for her downstairs.
Ningrum again felt dizzy with the arrival of his mother-in-law, Because he could already guess what the woman would complain about.
Still appreciating that a woman who was still in her father-in-law status, Ningrum tried to go down to the ground floor to meet the mother-in-law.
Arriving at the ground floor, he saw that his mother-in-law looked as though her eyes were red as if they were crying.
She guessed that her mother-in-law had just cried for some reason.
"What's up, Mom?" tanya Ningrum tried to be as calm as possible.
The woman turned her head towards Ningrum with a face that looked so very sad.
"Sorry, Ningrum.. The arrival of mother may trouble you, but Mother has no other choice.. It's been two days that I didn't cook because of the rice, your father played gambling and didn't give Mom any money to shop" he said, complaining about the problem.
Ningrjm. It's not his responsibility. Isn't this more the responsibility of his father-in-law, Bima and his other brothers? Then why should he be the place of complaint?
Ningrum felt as if he was an ATM machine that could make money at any time.
On the other hand, the tears that came out of the corner of her mother-in-law's eyes made her feel unbearable and pity. But this could not continue to be allowed to continue, because Ningrum was the rib instead of the backbone that had to bear every burden of her husband's family's life problems.
Bima's problem is not finished, now her mother-in-law comes bringing new problems again.
Then with a feeling that he could no longer describe, Ningrum gave two pieces of hundreds of thousands of rupiah to the mother-in-law.
"This, Ma.. To buy rice and side dishes." said Ningrum trying to control his heart.
The woman wiped her tears and grabbed the money "Please, Nak Ningrum" she said, saying goodbye.
