Pregnant Without Husband

8. Bu Cici's offer

"Alhamdulillah, you keep it good for the cost of birth later." Susi said after Rosa showed off her first salary.

"It's for mom." Rosa handed the 5 pieces of red money to her mother.

"Mom's already got a salary from the factory, so this money's for you." Her mother pushed the money to Rosa.

"If you don't want to, the money is for your grandchildren. So I leave it with you." Susi's mom smiled back at Rosa's smile too.

"Thank you so much ma'am" said Rosa, hugging her mother.

"Huh." Cici's mom snorted in annoyance while throwing her ass in the cashier's chair.

"What's wrong mom?" ask Rosa. He was surprised to see his boss as angry.

"That's the Lidya, told to go to les not want to. She said her teacher was fierce." mom Cici replied with a sullen face.

Rosa immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that her boss was angry not a matter of work. So Rosa just silenced her until her anger was gone.

"Ros." said Ms. Cici suddenly.

"Yes mom, what's wrong?" rosa replied while tidying up the messy wares.

"Here's a minute." said Cici, then Rosa approached towards Cici's mom.

"Look at me when you applied for a job here, you were all good grades. How do you help Lidya? Relax, I'll pay you extra."

Rosa was surprised by Cici's request, for a moment she thought about accepting or rejecting the offer. Because of what he knew, Lidya was very stubborn, and easily emotional. Then how will he teach her. He was also afraid of being ridiculed considering his graduates who just finished Junior High.

"Rose?" tanya Cici's mom who broke Rosa's daydream.

"I_iya ma'am."

"Where do you want to help mom?"

"But, I'm only finished Junior High, the same age as Lidya's mother."

"Mother has actually invited private tutoring teachers several times as well, but no one matches the wishes of the child. Who knows if the one who taught him was the same age as him so there's a match for that." Rosa mangosteen-mangut heard Cici's saying.

"In shaa Allah will Rosa try ma'am then."

"Allah, thank goodness then. Thank you Ros." said Ms. Cici with a sparkling face.

"It's me who should say thank you, not mom. Because it gave me a chance to re-learn."

Ms. Cici was increasingly touched by Rosa's every word and deed. In his heart he was very sorry for the test that was passed by Rosa until she became pregnant.

"Let's tell you again, Ros."

"Yes ma'am, Rosa excuse me for work again."

Sundays actually Rosa's off. Usually he will help his mother water houseplants in front of their house, and tidy up the weeds.

But, that day as usual he was neat and sled the bag ready to go to Cici's house.

"Mom, Rosa said yes, want to go to Cici's mom's house." Rosa reached out to her mother.

"Astaghfirullah's. Rosa forgot to say mom, today Rosa was asked to help Lidya learn" Rosa said grimacingly.

"O Allah, you must reject this offer. A week you have worked, it should be time to rest at home, enjoy time while relaxing. I don't want you to be tired."

"Learning her might only take about 2 hours ma'am. So Rosa will still be able to rest. Thank God for a month more work, Rosa did not feel tired. It seems that my baby understands the condition of his mother, does not want to trouble his mother." replied Rosa while stroking her distended stomach. Hearing Rosa's explanation, her mother could only sigh deeply.

"Yes, you're hearted yes, if tired you have to immediately ask permission from your boss." with a heavy heart finally his mother gave permission.

"Good ma'am." answered Rosa with a smile and kissed the back of her mother's hand in reverence.

Taking a 15-minute trip, Rosa finally reached Cici's house. The house was next to his grocery store.

Gts ...Tock....Tok

Rosa knocked on the door while saying her regards. Since bad things happened to him, he was a little more religious.

Wherever he goes he always says greetings, his lips always mention the asthma of God when he hears, feels good news and bad.

The desire to wear the hijab. But, he was afraid that if he wore the hijab now, it would contaminate the sanctity of the hijab. He had negative thoughts on the people around him, if he later wore a hijab fear in thought to cover his pregnancy. Not because of the intention of hoping for God's pleasure. So he was forced to postpone his noble wish.

"Rose." Anita calls her, as is astonished by Rosa's arrival, because she knows if Rosa's day gets rations off.

"Yes, ma'am." Rosa smiled sweetly answering her friend's call.

"Why are you here? Aren't you on vacation today?" ask Anita again.

"I came here to tell Cici to help teach Lidya to learn" explained Rosa.

"Study, learn what? Learning to make kids?" guess Anita while chuckling.

Rosa's heart was torn to shreds hearing Anita's joke.

"the ross? Have you been waiting for a long time?" cici's voice suddenly shocked the two. Anita was immediately speechless when she heard the voice of her boss who was considered stingy.

"Just now, ma'am." Rosa stood up and immediately approached Cici to shake hands as usual.

"Yes, let's go in." mom Cici embraces Rosa into her big house like her own son.

"Somehow he treats Rosa who is just a new child, pregnant no husband anyway." Anita grumbled annoyed while singing her lips.

"Lid, Lidya." Cici's mom knocked on her son's room shouting her name.

"Yes ma." finally after a few screams that made Cici's mother run out of power, the door was also opened by her son.

"What are you doing anyway? Mama almost fainted because she kept yelling at you." the grumble of Cici's mom made Rosa a little smile because it was funny.

"Lidya was just taking a shower" Lidya answered while drying her hair with a towel.

"This is Rosa want you to learn. He's patient and kind, you should be at home. Mama always nyariin nyariin tutor tutoring but can not last long." Lidya's view also turned to Rosa. From top to bottom, turn again and stop on Rosa's distended stomach.

"You pregnant?" ask Lidya. Rosa nodded with a smile.

"You're young, why did you dare to get married? She's pregnant." chirped Lidya.

"Hush, people's sustenance is different. If Rosa's sustenance has children now yes why should be rejected." sergeah bu Cici to his son, afraid to offend Rosa. Rosa smiled in response to the mother and child.

"Yes, you two studied there. I'm making a snack for you both."
