Somsi has found the person who will enter him. By doing everything to get in there. Somsi came home, and entered the house. There Bu Wati had already noticed his arrival. "Eh, you're home, son?" ask Ms. Wati.
"Yes ma. Somsi is home" replied Somsi.
Actually Somsi wanted to avoid but he could not do. He couldn't have just left his mother. At least he answered his mother's question.
After answering, he left immediately.
He wants to shower soon. He was busy with his business. His feet are also very sore and painful. After returning home, his leg still hurt. He straightened his legs for a moment. Probably because all day walking down every street.
Bu Wati glared at Somsi who wanted to leave. "Hey, you go right away, son. How did you get a good job. Keep working where," she asked with a happy smile.
Ms. Wati was curious about the job Somsi was applying for. Whether his daughter comes in or not.
"Ma, Somsi tired ma. I've been pacing around looking for a job but no one wants to accept it" Somsi said.
"You can, who doesn't want to accept your mother's daughter. What are your shortcomings, son. You are beautiful, smart, and mama sure you have skills in working," said Bu Wati very upset. With the feeling of dislike and
he keeps chattering. Until Somsi could not fight him and was forced to hear his mother's voice continue to flinch in his ears.
"Mama...... That's according to mama. If they think Somsi is ugly, dirty, black, alive again" said Somsi.
Somsi makes excuses so that his mother does not have to boast too much. He's not as smart as his mother said. That's what's on his mind right now. If he is smart and has skills, maybe he finished school immediately bargained to work wherever he likes. This is nothing, Somsi is certainly not what Mom Wati thought.
Bu Wati gawked in wonder. " Who is the one who says you are ugly, dirty, black what else. Let him open his eyes wide. Dare to say that my mother's daughter is so," upset want to chat here and there.
Somsi heard it. "Well, Mama taught Somsi to do evil, ma."
"That's not what Mom meant. Mama does not want to teach this beautiful mother's daughter to do evil. Mama just wanted to tell you, if you don't have to worry. You'll get a job later" explained Ms. Wati. "Mama was just angry with them. Although we are not as rich as them, it does not mean we cannot or do not have any skills at all. Mama sees them as insulting this super pretty mama's daughter."
Ms. Wati always praised Somsi, bored to hear her mother chattering. He can't say anything. Somsi held back a laugh because of his mother's attitude. A super fussy and plus chatty person. He didn't think his mother would say that either.
"Because my mother from earlier was very chatty. Mama has to cook my favorite meal today" Somsi said.
Ms. Wati gawked in wonder. "indeed what's wrong mama."
"Haha. That's a punishment for mom." Somsi laughed looking at his mama like a lifeless statue. He said that, so that his mother would stop talking. He was tired of hearing his mother from earlier cool talking.By saying that, he could shut his mother's mouth without having to yell especially to hurt her mother's heart. Hearing Somsi's words made Wati ma'am unable to pucker anymore.
Mrs Wati from earlier was ready to cook. All food is served on the floor. They don't have a dining table for them to sit at while eating. Brands can only eat like that. He was also angry with his daughter. By having her cook again meant there would be one more job she had to do. His daughter told him to cook again. Actually, Bu Wati allows Somsi to find work not because he had always wanted his daughter to work, but because of Somsi's concern for the family that makes Ms. Wati proud.
Huu I was ready to cook. Because of this kid, I have to cook again. If only you weren't my daughter. I'll take you all out.
Bu Wati struggled with cooking ingredients. He seemed to be focused on every job he did. He would cook a meal that his daughter liked. Just say it was a word of encouragement for his daughter so as not to give up easily.
Ms. Wati also made a cup of coffee for Mr. Nius and two cups of milk for his beloved daughter. The supplies for this one week are still there. For the next week, Wati was confused, she no longer knew where they would get the money. Mrs Wati wants the next week to be able to buy home supplies.
...****************...
In the room, Somsi has prepared the files that he will give later to the Borusaragih Ka. He saw his score sheet. Turns out I'm smart too, this is proof that my grades are pretty good.
Somsi is a smart boy. He always got a class champion. Olympic champion also. Many certificates from the results. Unfortunately, he was not born into a wealthy family. He could not develop the skills he had all this time. After preparing the files, he went to the bathroom.
At home, they only have one bathroom. They used to bathe in the river. They could have had that bathroom because of the government's help. They provide assistance to everyone who is classified as very vulnerable to the poor. They are one of them. With that help, they no longer need to go to the river to bathe, wash dishes and so on.
Not to forget Somsi washes dishes and washes their cloths all. If left for a few days, the cloth will pile up.
Somsi gawking wonder. Wow.many dirty dishes. Where the water dies again. How nih.
Somsi was confused where to go. The only way is to go to the river to do all that.
"Ma, Somsi went to the river. Water supply is few. If you go home to work, you can use that water" Somsi shouted. He didn't want his father to have to go back to the river to take a bath. His father came home when it was dark.
"Yes, son." His mother let him go. She also did not want her husband to go to the river.
Somsi brought dishes and dirty cloth. He put dirty dishes on dirty clothes. Not forgetting to separate clothes and plates
By placing in buckets of different sizes.
Two bucket leaders are already on the head with one hand in hand while the other hand is holding a soap bucket.
A few minutes drive from the house to the river.
Somsi finally arrived. Approximately the distance is only 10 meters. For the city people, it was already far away. Somsi lowered the bucket lord down where he would wash cloth and dishes. Put on the wood that is ready to wash the cloth. Not forgetting he gave detergent for clothes that he had soaked. He washes the first dishes rather than washing the cloth.
Soups.....
The sound of throwing stones into the river. Somsi looked towards the moving water source. He began to be afraid and quickly did his job.
Ba............
Somsi jumped in shock hearing someone holding his back all of a sudden. Somsi turned around and knocked down the person who had dared to hold his back.
Sur....
The sound of a human body falling into the river.
"Who are you?" Somsi asked someone who was still in the river.Suddenly the man raised his head above the water. Somsi was ready to throw him with all the leftovers he gathered while washing dishes. But he was surprised to see who it was.
Basic people don't have jobs. Coming just bothers people. If I had thrown it with chili water from this leftover food, his eyes would have been sore.
"Hahahha sorry, I startled you." He is Bram. He used to like being nosy to Somsi. He always did various ways to harass Somsi.
Why does he bother me. From the beginning, his nature could not be lost. It's grown up still having a nature like children.
"Why are you quiet. Do you like me?" Bram throws a silly question that makes Somsi feel disgusted.
It's a high piety level kid, too.
"Like you, very good. Don't geer. I'm silent doesn't mean I like you!" snapped Somsi.
"Have your face harrumphed." Bram always had the sense to speak. He remained unwilling to stop prosecuting Somsi before Somsi himself surrendered.
Somsi who heard it started to heat up. He's lost control. He snapped at Bram again.
"If you don't have a job, just go home. Don't like usilin people!"
"hehehe you're angry anyway, I want to help you. Here give me your soap. You wash the cloth" said Bram and pulled the plate from Somsi's hand.
Bram himself was shocked by Somsi who had already snapped at him. He thought that Somsi was still the way he used to be, who just kept quiet without resisting. Without thinking long Somsi immediately gave the soap. It doesn't hurt him at all. It was even luck to him.
"You're getting black, hehehhe." Bram still talks. He was not afraid of what if he had raised a sleeping tiger.
"What are your problems?" Somsi wanted to throw his fist at the person who was with him at the time. But he broke his intention.
"Son, but you're more beautiful" said Bram teasing Somsi. Bram from earlier did not want to be silent. He always makes a way to keep Somsi quiet.
Somsi gawking wonder. "What the hell from earlier was dreadlocks. Not funny to know."
Somsi was very upset and wanted to leave immediately to leave the person who had been bothering him from earlier.
In the midst of their enthusiasm in speaking, Siti's friend Somsi came to them. "Hey, what are you guys doing? romantic is great" he said. Same with Bram. Siti also likes nosy on Somsi. Siti rubbed two people she approached, Bram and Somsi.
"Yes, I'm his girlfriend" said Bram. Without shame he said it.
Somsi who heard Bram's words threw the clothes he was washing right on his face. "Can you keep your word? if you can't keep your mouth better go home or you want your mouth glued. So that it doesn't make a fuss."
Does he already have a bad habit yes.from now on do not want to be silent or maybe he lacks the affection of his parents again.
"Hahahaha, you've just been angry. Not good youh, soon old," ngeledek Bram. Bram still again and again mengeled Somsi.
Somsi did not answer. He focused on the cloth he was brushing. He wanted to leave his super nosy childhood friend immediately.
"I helped Som. Bored of no work. Time just saw you guys fighting that," said Siti offering her help. He wanted to help Somsi. What's more this is the first time he's washed a cloth. In their own home they had a maid.
Siti helps Somsi wash the cloth. He rubbed the cloth like Somsi did.
Since their arrival. The work has started to feel light for him and will be finished quickly. Bram always glanced at Somsi silently silently.
Somsi who saw him pretended not to know saha. He doesn't want to find trouble anymore. He wanted his work done quickly and left them there.
Somsi's plates and clothes he was carrying were all clean. Then he told Bram to lift the bucket to his head. The clothes and plates are heavier than before.
Somsi thanked Bram and Siti. Siti also came home with Somsi. Another with Bram still living on the riverbank noticed Somsi from behind.
She's getting more beautiful.
In the middle of the journey Somsi and Siti walk together to their respective homes. There was an old grandmother walking with firewood. Somsi who saw his pity then lowered the bucket on his head assisted by Siti.
"Sit, I'm asking for your help. Please wait here. Keep my clothes and dishes so they don't get dirty. I want to help the grandma bring her firewood, "he explained.
Siti cawing. Yes Som."
Somsi approached the old grandmother and brought the firewood that belonged to the grandmother, to the old grandmother's house. A very small hut where the grandmother lived.
"Thank you, my grandson, you're so good. May one day you become a successful person and if you are successful never be arrogant" said the old grandmother. The old grandmother just offered a prayer. He had no money or anything else he could give other than prayer.
The words spoken by the old grandmother touched Somsi's heart. Somsi was very happy to get a prayer from his grandmother.
"Thank you very much, Grandma. Grandma's prayer is always best for me."
Somsi smiled his genuine smile. Then left the old grandmother and left. He saw Siti still waiting for him. Siti helps Somsi lift the bucket over his head. Somsi told her what she said to him.
"Sit, I'm so happy. This time I got prayers from so many people I met. People usually just say thank you. But this grandmother not only thanked me, she also gave me a sincere prayer" he said happily.
"Good dong. May the Grandmother's prayer be answered. Amen." Siti was happy to hear it. He also hopes Somsi gets a change later.
Somsi and Siti continue their journey to their respective homes. Somsi had not forgotten what he had heard from the mouth of the grandmother he had helped. He hoped that the Grandmother's prayer would one day come true. She also wants to succeed in her career, make her parents happy and meet her needs.
Seriate......
