Replying to Mother's Heartache

Part 9 Granny Cow Leg Soup

"Ih this mother's habit later she played a mulu game until she forgot the time." I reply.

"You have been looking like your father Sinta for a long time!. You are calm, Bayu does like to play games, but Mother is always secretly paying attention. I've seen when he played games and continued to reverberate, Bayu always save the game for a moment and pray on time. And it looks not so caring even though he lost he was still quick to take ablution water and pray. Try it next time you notice your brother." Refute Mother.

The statement made me again stunned and at the same time wondering, is it true Bayu like that? Is it true that I have long ago my nature that always suppresses Bayu is the same as my father?. Inner heart while daydreaming.

"Heh, Sinta. You don't have to worry about your sister and press her like Dad again. He was like that. Just trust him, about the future and the path to be chosen, while not deviating and violating the rules. You better leave it alone. Now you are the one who studies, soon the exam." said Mom patted my shoulder to make me a little surprised because I was silent daydreaming about Mother's statement.

"Ih Mother made Sinta shocked. Yes, now Sinta wants to learn." I said.

"Yes, you have entered the room here, my diligent son!" replied Mother.

I also obeyed her words to go into the room and study, maybe because as a child often pressed by my father without arguing about learning to make me a long time ago endocrine until finally I am used to doing it myself without being ordered by anyone else.

I don't think time has shown 19:00. Because of my learning, I forgot about time. Though his plan I will help Mom to prepare the merchandise for tomorrow. I immediately went out of the room to see Mom.

"Let's go, ma'am, I'll help you prepare for tomorrow's trade."

"Udah no need, just as you learned earlier Mother has done everything a little more is done. If you want to eat, eat. I'm ready in the kitchen."

"I didn't wait for Sinta, Mom. Ask me to help you."

"Your job is to learn, you want to peddle merchandise has also helped Mother. I don't want you to be soaked. Business to prepare the merchandise let the mother take over." My mother explained.

Crutches.

Crutches.

Crutches.

"The stomach can't be conditioned. I hope you're not horrified."

"You're a lager, you better eat there!" said Mother.

Without further ado I also ate the dishes Mother had prepared at the kitchen table. While busy eating suddenly heard the sound of a door blow behind the house.

"Pah, the back door of the house in the lock anyway. Open dong!." cried Grandma calling Mom's name.

"What the hell is Nek, it's night playing with all the doors." I grumbled as I opened the door for Grandma.

"Where's your mom Sinta? The front door at this hour is already in the key, astonished. So Grandma had to go back because Grandma thought your mother was cooking in the kitchen." Grandma said.

"It's probably because Dad said I didn't come home and told Mom to lock the front door. What is it, Grandma?." I asked gently.

"It's still the afternoon play all the keys. Where's your dad, Sin, overtime again?." Grandma replied curiously.

"Daddy Nek" I said briefly while sipping the marrow of the cow legs that Mother made.

"Well, not all, Grandma. Mending Grandma asked Mother first Bayu they also have not eaten. If this leg soup Grandma brought, then what will Mom and Bayu eat?." I said.

"Had Grandma brought all. Your grandfather is coming home tonight from Kalimantan, he must be hungry. Grandma is lazy to cook." concluded Grandma while going to go carry a pot containing soup of beef legs which is currently only half again because we had eaten it in the morning.

"Eh-eh Mother Mom! where do I take my leg soup?." My mother suddenly came into the kitchen.

"I brought ya Ipah! Your father-in-law will be home tonight. At home there is no food. Mom lazy cooking.

"This morning, Ipah already masakin semur chicken ma'am. Said I want a chicken stew for Mom, it was cooking 1/2 kilo loh Bu. You spend all your time alone?." asked my mother Sarifah.

"Udah was dumped by your husband, Bagas. He said it wasn't good. I'm going back, your father-in-law's going home." Chirps Grandma.

"Hmm, I've brought you ma'am." My mother said with a sigh of disappointment to hear the words of the magic grandmother who said the chicken stew was thrown away from her cooking at my father's waste.

"Mom, I don't have a papa?." I asked her about her condition after seeing the look on her face that looked sad.

"Mother no papa, Sinta. You just continue eating it. Good thing Bayu and I had dinner last night, so I don't have to cook anymore because your Grandma took the beef soup earlier in the condition that we've all eaten." Mother replied with a smile.

Yes, that's how my mother, when it was clearly a sad face. But when I asked, Mother must have answered with a smile covering her grief at you as if everything was fine.

"Already Mom, I know how sad and again not okay after hearing Grandma's words. I don't have to think about Grandma's words and Dad's behavior they are so his people." I replied to Mom while hugging Mom.

"Sok knows you are Sinta!. I'm going back to my room, I'm sleepy." Mother also left while locking the door that had not been locked after the arrival of Grandma.

After eating, I went back into the room and watched an exciting Korean drama series that I had not been able to watch because of my busyness at school. The drama is called Dr. Romantic seasons 3, some episodes I haven't seen yet, so tonight I'm going to have a marathon.

I was so sad at the scene of Dr. Seo wo jin who was hit by rubble when going to help some survivors, one of them when he was about to protect a teacher who was seriously injured until Dr. seo wo jin's hand was stuck in iron ruins. This episode made me shed tears of sadness.

Before her I had never seen a Korean drama at all but because often poisoned my compatriot Citra eventually over time I also became fond of drakor.

Not so excited to watch Korean dramas, I forgot the time. The current time shows at 00.45 am.

"It's already at this hour, ah I want to go to sleep. Tomorrow continue to watch, at dawn I have to wake up to help Mom prepare the merchandise. I don't want you to prepare your own merchandise like this afternoon." I grumbled in my heart.

Brakes.

Brakes.

"Pah, open the door Ipah!" I heard Dad's screams pounding on the front door of my house.
