One afternoon, while I was preparing porridge for lunch Dio, my 10-month-old son. Sela, the neighbor's 4-year-old son, came.
"Dio.." said when entering the back of the house aka kitchen.
"Mama Dio, any ice cubes? Mama told me to take one" she asked as she sat in front of me.
I do sell ice cubes and ice candles, count-count using a refrigerator freezer that is often empty.
"Nothing" I replied without taking my eyes off Dio.
The boy ran out
"Ma, there's no ice" he shouted from behind my house.
"There's no truth? Have you checked in the freezer?" he asked while shouting from his home. Our house was right next door, only their house was on a hill.
I heard that Sela went back into the kitchen and tried to open the freezer door. Because it was hard to open, Sela ran out
"Can't be opened, ma" cried Sela
This family seems like a hobby of shouting.
Not long after his mother came to the house, I was feeding Dio in front of the tv. The back door is always open during the day.
"Mama Dio, any ice cubes?" Ask Bu Min, her mother is always. Looks like he's in the back.
"Nothing" I replied briefly.
Slender.
"Maybe you're home" I thought.
Before long, the sound of the refrigerator door was opened
"Lho there's this ice cube, Mama Dio"
I just shut up.
"There are 3 more" he continued.
I'm still quiet.
"It's not hard, ma'am" I replied
"It's hard, everything's hard. Say it is not sold, use a lot of reasons" he explained
Honestly, I was surprised to hear that word.
"Yes, Mom. Not sold. My loss, if the freebies continue."
He was shocked, it seemed like he was starting to remember something.
"Alah, only 2 thousand, does not make bankrupt as well"
"It's only 2 thousand, if only once twice, it doesn't matter. Too often, it's good there. I'm the one who lost" I replied without looking at him in the slightest. He stands right in the kitchen and tv room.
"It's only 2 thousand, a dime. But from the money 2 thousand if in kumpulin can buy vegetables, ma'am. There's free ice, don't help pay for electricity, do you?!" my nag.
It sounds harsh and painful, but sometimes it's nothing. Hopefully, in the future, he doesn't do the same thing again.
Without saying anything, Ms. Min immediately walked out of my house.
The lovely husband was in the room, coming out as soon as Ms. Min came home.
"Not on the ice?" Ask while opening the freezer.
"This is ice 3, it's all hard" he continued
"Min's mom has often told children to take ice, but not paid. Either ice for him to sell, or make his own consumption. Wanted on the bill too, not good" I replied
"Don't be stingy with the neighbors"
"Once in a while, that's okay. This has been many times, besides we if we buy at the stall can not be in debt, right?!"
"If it was right at the beginning, he came to buy. I must have given you the ice. But it was his son who came first, would later say pay it later. & ended up being free again" I continued
Husband immediately silent a thousand languages, he immediately went back into the room.
