Replying to Mother's Heartache

Part 3 Business Capital

"Wah really also nih kak, so add a lot of it if in onein" said Bayu with sparkling eyes.

Then the three of us counted the money from the two piggy banks. The money is diverse there are pink, green, brown and even some blue money sheets.

"This is a total of four million. I salute you guys. How can you fuck this much?." Praise Mother to us.

"This Bayu nabung her from smp class 1. Eat a lot." Answer Bayu proudly.

"I'm sorry Mom well someday I'll change your money. Thanks to you Mother can be strong until now, I promise from now on Mother will not be silent treated not well by Father or his family." said Mother with teary eyes.

"It's okay, ma'am, we're sincere in helping Mom. Don't think about changing our money. The important thing is that we use our money as best as possible for business capital. How about we sell fried food? you see, the average of my friends is lazy to the cafeteria so automatically if we sell must sell." I gave a suggestion to Mom because Mom is good at making snacks or cakes and tastes very good.

"Okay, then. When do we start selling?." asked Mom.

"Faster is better, ma'am, Bayu also want to help. It's just an older brother who can help Mom, Bayu can also!" he said arrogantly.

"Huh follow me." I sneered.

"You are the best Mother's children. I'm so proud to have a child like you." said Mom with a smile.

"How about we start selling tomorrow ma'am? Now we list the things we need to make." I told Mom.

"Well, I'm going along." Answer Mother.

Finally, Mom and I thought about what we were going to sell and we were going to do tomorrow. I'm so happy to see you smile like this. May you always be healthy, live a long life and keep smiling.

"Yes, we're shopping at wholesale now, ma'am. I heat the bike first, I'm ready!" I said to Mom. Bayu has gone somewhere, maybe kebelet times because he was in a hurry.

I walked to the porch to heat the motor while waiting for Mom to get ready.

After Mom's done getting out of the house, "Come on Sin, we're shopping to the wholesale front!."

My mom and I went shopping at a wholesaler not far from our house, because it just happened to be close to the highway, staying out of the complex has entered a large highway and there are many wholesalers and snacks.

After arriving at the wholesaler I let Mom pick and buy the ingredients she needed, it does not take long Mother has finished buying materials for sale tomorrow because before her Mother has listed the ingredients needed.

"It's over, ma'am?." I asked.

"Already, maybe you will double back because the items you buy are very much. Don't you, son?." asked Mom.

"Ngga papa Ma'am. I brought it home first, huh?." I asked.

"Dad." Answer Mother. I also drove a two-wheeler to go home first. The stuff I tied up in the back seat with a rope that I happened to carry from home.

Ten minutes I got home, I saw Grandma looking at me on the porch. Maybe he was curious about what I was carrying.

"What are you, Sin?." asked Grandma.

"Kepo." I replied passing by carrying goods into the house.

I glimpsed Grandma's face looked annoyed, as I went back to the front and was about to take the bike forward.

Grandma exclaimed "BASIC BRASH CHILD!, HERE YOU ARE!" she cried while holding a broom handle about to approach me.

But I did not care about it, then drove the bike very fast. Just as Grandma was approaching, the smoke from my motorbike hit Grandma's face. I can only laugh on the street.

Upon arrival at the wholesaler, Mom stood waiting for me and brought the rest of the things I had not brought.

"Mom bought cooked food for the three of us, because Mother today does not cook." exclaimed Mom as she climbed into the boncer.

Upon arrival at home, there was already an angry looking Grandma she was tracking her waist glaring at me when I arrived at the courtyard of the house.

"Well, you can do a lot of shopping like this. You will have to bear all the medical expenses I have incurred for Adel's treatment. You have to take responsibility Sinta!." sergeant Granny. I saw Aunt Adel come out of the house with her left face on the bandage. Aunt Adel looked at me sharply but said nothing.

"Don't you hear the granny voice? how is there no sound? Is it possible that Demit will come out before Maghrib?. We better get inside Mom! afraid of someone in the house next door." I purposely mocked Grandma for her high blood.

"Based on a crazy kid, you think your grandma's a ghost?." Grandma screams shamelessly. Mom and I just walked into the house.

"HEY IPAH, TEACH TUH YOUR CHILD TO BE POLITE TO PARENTS!." shouted Grandma who I can still hear inside the house.

Kriee...

"Where did you run out of? shopping out? where's the money from?." read Dad with a lot of questions when we got into the house. He was sitting in a chair with his hands closed in his chest staring at me and Mom with a face full of curiosity.

"It's definitely not your money." scorned me.

Father suddenly stood up to approach me but was blocked by Mother.

"A brash kid!." cried Dad as he looked at me sharply.

I returned his gaze without fear.

"Had not wanted to argue" he said, then sat back down.

I smiled triumphantly. Sinta at the opponent, I turned my gaze towards Mom. Mom was like talking to me in a slow tone. "Have, enough."

Alright maybe that's enough, next time I'll definitely argue again with Dad. And I made sure I would win.

"Oh well Ipah, make me food. I'm eating grilled fish and kale stir-fry. Cepetan do not wear it for long!" tell Dad to Mom.

I came back upset and anxious to see Dad who always behaved arbitrarily to Mom.

"No food for you, Mom. People today you didn't give me any money shopping for me."

"This is what makes me sick of you, in your mind money, money continues. Mending you ask for money can make you so beautiful manicured, like Adel. This is even I spit it's like Babu." I was shocked to hear Dad's insults to Mom. What I wonder is why Dad even brought Aunt Adel, is that Aunt Adel is beautiful well-kept but that does not mean you can insult Mom like that.

When I wanted to reply to Dad, Mom spoke first.

"Why do you compare me to Adel. Yes, obviously Adel can be treated because Zainal gave him enough money. Lah is giving money to shop only mediocre not yet to pay for children's school so do not compare with the wife whose husband Becus became the head of the household." mother said in a firm tone without fearing Father.

I salute and am quite happy with Mom's change and actions. Mother really kept her promise to fight and not just be silent when pierced by Father or his family.
