"Sorry before. I don't feel good being the center of attention of the neighbors if you hug my hand" Santos subtly refused.
"Alright," said Camel who was disappointed, then followed Santos' steps into the narrow alley.
And this is the first time Camel entered a densely populated settlement, and became the center of attention of people who passed her.
"Santus. Tumben who ngintilin beautiful woman. Usually a boy," said one of the residents whose house passed by Santos and Camel.
"Yes Ma'am," Santos replied not forgetting the smile engraved from the two corners of his lips. The friendly smile that Santos always showed to anyone who passed him.
"Who is this beautiful woman?"
"Oh this is my future wife Ma'am" replied Santos.
Of course, it made the mother laugh immediately, because she did not believe what Santos had just said.
"Don't make you Santos. Wife-to-be, where would she want to be with you. Eating is hard for you to feed others. Do not mostly shame you, noh Beti's mother is angry with your mother, because of paying the contract late,"
Heard the words of the mother. Santos immediately ran without saying anything more, of course Santos also did not invite Camel who was still in his place while staring at the departure of Santos.
"Actually who are you?" ask Camel. "There's no way you're Santos' future wife,"
"I'm really his wife-to-be. Is something wrong?" camel asked the mother who was observing Camel from head to toe.
"Cannot be. I'm concerned you're not just anyone. Where might you want to be with Santos, the boy who came home from school every time he was selling pegs around to help his mother make a living,"
Camel permeated what the mother had just said about Santos.
"Why are you quiet?"
"No. Where's Santos' house?" ask Camel who did not want to hear any words that came out of the mother's mouth.
Because Cemel is still with his stance, wanting to get Santos no matter his age and background.
"Santos' house is right behind this house" the mother explained, pointing to the house beside her.
And without saying anything else Cemel immediately headed for the house that had just been shown the mother.
Meanwhile Santos who had arrived in front of the house which had been his shelter, immediately approached the two middle-aged women. Where one of the middle-aged women was angry at the other middle-aged woman.
"Bu Beti I beg you to stop saying mother," said Santos as he approached the two middle-aged women.
"It's good that you're here. Quickly pay this rent!" the middle-aged mother's orders were just called Beti's mother by Santos.
"Give me one more day Mom. The rent has not been collected all," pinta Santos while hugging the middle-aged woman who was beside him who was none other than the mother named Rina's mother.
"That's what you always say. But what, until now you have not also paid rent this contract. And it's been a week now, if you don't pay today, you just walk away from this contract and find another one. I'm tired of you guys, always late to pay the rent,"
"I beg you not to throw us out, ma'am. I promise I'll pay the rent tomorrow,"
"can't. Your promise is fake and right now, you pack your things!"
"How much is this rent?" ask Camel who arrived near where Santos is.
Then Camel put the money in the hands of Beti's mother.
"I hope this is enough to pay off this rental lease,"
"This is more than enough. Thank you," continued Beti's mother while staring at the money in her hands.
Then he left Santos and his mother, staring at the money in his hand, without saying anything more.
"Why are you doing this?" ask Santos to Camel.
But it did not get an Answer from Camel who was now carving a smile towards Rina's mother.
"Who are you?" ask Rina's mother to be curious.
"Make me Camel Carter Santos' future wife, please,"
"Wife candidate?"
