Perakor Diary
Neighborly whispers
How sad Mia was to remember the treatment of Robert and his family. Mia did not expect that they would be hostile to her so cruelly. Robert really did not want to keep his promise to pay the debt to the loan shark.
" Be careful you're Robert !!! " cried Mia in her room when no one was in her house.
Mia cried sobbing without knowing where to complain about all this suffering. Mia, who is the first of 3 children, has been the backbone of her family since Papi was bankrupt and sick. Mia's two sisters who should have been able to help the family were even very troublesome.
" Why is my life like this" Mia muttered in her tears.
Mia kept crying in her private room, the room that used to be bathed as the place of her first night with Robert. Mia stared at all her belongings that Robert had bought. All are still well taken care of by Mia and neatly arranged in her room.
Mia's eyes arrived2 was fixed on some of Robert's relics that are rarely used such as laptops, TVs, speakers, and anyway like Robert's relics that he still keeps but rarely used.
" Did I just sell all of her stuff?" thought Mia
Mia wakes up and looks for any relics Robert can still sell. There was a little relief in Mia's heart as she counted the leftovers Robert turned out to be able to repay a debt as good as 3X.
" Campus you Robert" said Mia happy because she had managed to find a way to get money.
Mia then took pictures of the items she wanted to sell and posted on social media. Mia hopes that someone is interested in buying it at a high price because the items are still good and have not been used for long.
*
There are some people who are interested in the second item in Mia's post. Some just ask, but there are also those who are interested and come to Mia's house to take the second item that will be bought.
" Is this still good, brother?" ask a consumer who wants to buy a laptop.
" It's still sis, I sell because it again needs money" said Mia honestly.
" Okay, I took the laptop" said the consumer.
A smile flashed on Mia's lips as some people were interested and took the second item that belonged to her ex-husband. Not because he managed to sell Robert's property, but managed to get money to pay debts to loan sharks.
**
After Mia sells all Robert's belongings, Mia sits casually on her porch as if to show people that her head and heart are happy. Some of the Mothers who saw Mia smiled and sometimes some saw her with a flat face.
" Sell what was Mia? " ask a mother who is her neighbor.
" Second stuff Mom" said Mia.
" Why is it sold?" mother asked as if she was introgating Mia.
" Rarely used by Mom" Mia began to resent the mother.
Mia can read the mother's curiosity, Mia knows well with her neighbor who is often called Ember leaking. The mother likes to find out about the lives of others and likes to spread rumors that are not yet clear news.
" Mia's body is thin, diet or what? " ask the mother again.
" Diet" said Mia Ketus.
Mia went into her house because she was lazy to talk to her neighbor. Mia is feeling happy with the money she holds and does not want her mood to be damaged just because of Mothers whom she often calls leaky buckets.
***
In the evening Mami invites Mia to talk, Mami says there are people who see Mia close to a man whose status is still the husband of people. Mami wants to ask for clarity from Mia about the news.
" Do you really have a boyfriend again?" ask Mommy about her son.
" Why is it Mi?" ask Mia.
" Who?" ask Mami curious.
"Mommy wants to know" Mia indifferently.
" What is the husband of people?" Mami introgates.
As soon as Mia's heart pounded, Mia did not understand why anyone could know that she was dating someone's husband so the person told her parents.
" Who told Mami" Mia covered up her fear so Mami wouldn't get angry.
" There"
" Don't like Mami to hear people talk, want me to go out with singles, widows or people's husbands, it's my business. I'm looking for my own food anyway so no one can control my life." Mia's tone is a little high which makes Mami feel that Mia is really dating people's husbands.
"You always come home late and rarely at home, where do you go every day ?" ask Mommy again.
" I'm Mi's widow, who will support me if I don't work? All this time our family is also me who lives, right?!!!" mia's anger is mounting.
Mami stays beside Mia, Mami wants her son to find a rich and reliable soul mate and Mia also wants the same. But the condition of Mia's family that was destroyed made every man who approached her run away somewhere.
**
When she was recently divorced from Robert, Mia once knew a man who wanted to marry her. The man is still single and willing to accept Mia as she is, but Papi does not agree if Mia married the man because he is not from a respected person.
At that time, Mia was willing if she had to marry any man. But Papi's very hard attitude makes Mia's relationship with the man must run aground in the middle of the road.
The neighbor she called the bucket spread to others that Mia had lost her charms by becoming a widow. Mami did not even defend Mia at that time, Mami instead told Mia to look for a rich man who could be made her husband.
The incident at that time made Mia more careful in choosing a man who will be made husband. Although the average man who approached Mia away because of the poor condition of Mia's family, Mia is not desperate and willing to be made an affair as long as she can marry a man of rank.
***
Mia is getting ready to go out to her friend's house, being at home longer makes Mia's head almost break.
" Just want to get me out of this house" murmured Mia.
Mia picks up her motorbike and rushes away before Mami forbids her to leave. Mia wants to take her friend shopping so that her head is a little calmer. The money he earned from selling Robert's belongings will be used a little for shopping and indulging in the salon with his friends.
