Poison Or Honey?

Chapter 2

"Later I'll go to Daddy's. Who knows if there's money." Sahut Dimas's.

Retno squinted at the man who had been knitting for marriage for 22 years with her. The woman who still looks beautiful at the age of 42 years is seen sighing violently.

"Are you not ashamed? Until when are we like this, Mom! Your father is old! We shouldn't keep burdening him!." Cecar Retno with a look of annoyance.

"Then how else? You complained to me about the children's SPP. I'll try to go to Daddy's tomorrow morning! Just get the gas money and the toll money ready!." Reply Dimas no less upset.

"Even for the money to eat, I'm in a hurry, Mas! I don't have any more money for your fare!."

"You ask Sandra. Didn't he start working? He should've started financing his sisters." Say Dimas at the moment.

Retno then looked at Dimas with a face of disbelief. The woman shook her head inexhaustibly with her husband's words.

"Mas! Sandra just worked! He also has his own personal needs. Aren't you ashamed of your son? He's even willing to work anything to make money, Mom!". Retno.

Dimas standing and ruffled waist. "You insinuating me?!."

Retno sighed tiredly. She stood facing her husband. "It's good if you feel insinuated. At least there's still a sense of self-knowledge in your mind."

Dimas gaping in disbelief heard Retno's words so that the man could only hold back his anger when he saw Retno step away from him just like that.

In the room that was right at the end, Sandra heard all the debates her parents had. He woke up and rushed out of the room. But his steps came to a halt when suddenly there was a commotion between Retno and Dimas.

Sandra heard everything. He clenched his hands in his face while taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly. Her eyes glazed over her fate as well as the fate of her family. He's fed up. Obviously fed up! He does not even want to know love because he is afraid if the fate of his mother comes down on him. No luck with men!

Geck!

Geck!

Geck!

Sandra stared at the door of her room which was suddenly knocked by someone. Sandra stood up and opened the door. Look Retno with a face that is wet because of the tears behind it.

"Lady..."

"Mom can come in, San?"

Sandra stepped back to let her mother into the room. Retno then sat in a plastic chair in Sandra's room still crying.

"Mom's tired, son.. You must have heard everything, right?". Ask Retno.

Sandra could only nod without answering anything.

"Mom's tired of this, San". Retno complains to the princess.

Sandra sighed and looked at Retno's face closely. "Mom... I told you it's better to just separate. Did Mom know? As a child, I was very stressed to see my parents fighting. Even until I'm as big as I am now, the two of you are still always fighting about the same thing".

"Lady..." Sandra's.

"Mom doesn't need to keep the household relationship intact but what actually happens is rift and fragile, Mom. My brothers and I were unhappy when we saw our parents together but there was a bit of anguish around every corner."

"Because of you two I thought, I don't want to get married. I don't want to know love. I'm afraid that it turns out my partner is a man like you."

"I also don't want to be a woman who can just take things for granted and cry out for fate. I can't be like that, Mom."

Sandra said to take out all her uneg-uneg while looking at Retno with sadness. He wants his mother to be happy. But what power, Sandra also does not have the strength and ability to support Mother and her sisters with their current work. To himself, he is still in the fog.

"Mother cannot leave your Father, San. I'm sorry if it's not Mom who else wants to live with your father. Your father was not used to buying food outside. Whatever buffer she must be she's just waiting for Mom to cook or if there's nothing, she's just drinking water all day." Lirih Retno's.

"Mom! That father is my mother's husband. The head of the family who should protect and guide the whole family. You're not a child you should treat like a child!". Sandra was upset.

Not only with his Father, sometimes Sandra was upset with the Mother who was too resigned. He was fed up when he was a child when he saw clearly that his family was an independent family. When the grandfather gives a monthly ration at the beginning of the month, both parents will scatter it with a lot of snacks outside. But when the middle of the month the money was up, both of them were silent with dead-end thoughts and ended up asking the grandfather for more money, owe it here and there or pressure Sandra to give money and work harder.

"As for Mom. Sandra talks until it's foamy, you're not gonna hear Sandra, are you?." Sandra said as she stood up to take the towel hanging on the door of her room.

"Sandra has to go to work, Mom. Sandra's gonna ask Sandra to work first with Sandra's boss."

Sandra also stepped out of the room leaving the mother alone who was silent. He had just worked a day, had to take the result. Sandra sighed slowly.

...🌻🌻🌻...

"Sandra! Are you late anyway? Our supervisor was angry!" Cica exclaimed as she looked at Sandra who had just entered the room.

Sandra looked at the clock on the wall. "It's only 5 minutes late. I ran away like an evil person here. Don't you see I'm still bored?." Sandra said as she flicked her hands to her face from sweating.

"Udah I said the same lo, our supervisor is a devil. He doesn't like it when the sales aren't on time, San". Obviously Cica gave Sandra a tissue.

Sandra answered nothing. His mind was busy compiling sentences to be spoken to his boss about his wages working yesterday. He doubted that the supervisor would give it given that the employment agreement mentioned that his wages would be given once every 1 week.

"Ca.." call Sandra suddenly.

"What?"

"During your work so sales here, you never really ask for a faster wage?". Sandra asked looking at Cica seriously.

Cica looked frowned at Sandra in astonishment.
