Stuck Marriage Has Changed Title To : TEEN BRIDE

Episode 3 The Road Sweeper

Lately, Daniel's mind has become less focused, like drifting in an unclear direction. It was none other than the impact of his mood being turbid, bitter and narrowed due to deep disappointment.

BUGGY..! Daniel swallowed his own spit.

Daniel's behavior then becomes uncontrollable. Sradak-suduk, like an armpit he was on a motorcycle on the road one afternoon when he was about to leave for school. The motorcycle gas he drove up to his exhaust roared to tear the eardrums of many people. A behavior that makes other road users angry and swear. But Daniel doesn't care.

As he glided at high speed, his eyes suddenly blurred at a distance of several tens of meters where there was a street sweeper at work. Daniel's motor then hits the end of the man's broom. The mother of the street sweeper then slammed and fell sprawled on the sidewalk. So did Daniel, out of panic, his motorcycle became difficult to control. As a result, Daniel fell into a ditch full of dirt.

Fortunately, there were no casualties when the incident occurred. The street sweeper had only minor injuries to his arms and legs.  Daniel, too, was just bruised. The heavy actually bear the mental burden, where Daniel became the subject of scorn many people. There are even those who perpetuate the incident with video and camera phone respectively, then uploaded for entertainment consumption in social media.

“ Sorry, ma'am, it's all my fault. Let me drop the doctor.” Daniel said as he tried to help the woman lift her body with a pale look.

“ It's okay, brother.. His name is also misfortune. No, no need to take a doctor. Just a scuff, ko.” Answer the mother.

The mother tried to stand up while whimpering pain in her waist. Make Daniel hewatir and a little pushy to drive him home.

“ Come, ma'am, let me drive you home.” Daniel said as he looked at the mother.

“ Yes, may..Coincidentally mom's job is almost done.”

The mother of the public road cleaning officer was then escorted Daniel home, the distance is not much

far from the scene.

“ Please enter, brother..Sorry, mom's house is a mess.” The mother said she let Daniel into the guest room.

“ I'm not long, ma'am..It's money, goods times mom can use if want to seek treatment.” Daniel said as he handed out several hundred thousand pieces of money.

“ No need, brother..I'm okay, ko.”

But Daniel forced the woman to open her hands.

“ Then I say yes, ma'am.” Said Daniel.

“ Yes. Thank you for the help. Be careful on the road, do not speed again.”

Just a few steps away from the living room, Daniel saw a glimpse of a Cicilia photo on display in the living room of a simple house whose walls look dull and moldy. Daniel's heart gasped at the picture.

“ Sorry, that's whose photo is yes, ma'am.?” Daniel asked, pointing at the photo.

“ Oo, it's the mother's first child.”

‘ Kids ?’

“ Hmm.., his face is not foreign. If you may know, what is the name of the mother's child ?” Daniel asked to confirm his assumption.

“ Her name is Cicilia Putri.”

“ Cicilia.?!” Daniel cried while holding his breath.

“ Yes. My sister knows.?”

“ Cicilia is my classmate, ma'am.” Daniel cried with mixed feelings.

“ Classmate..?! Ooo,alaa..”.

“ Now, Cicilia where, ma'am.?”

“ Mother does not know. He doesn't live here anymore. Oya, whose sister's name, yes.?”

“ Daniel, mom. Oohs. She's now where she is, ma'am ?”

“ I don't know, mom herself doesn't know exactly. Some say he lives in a boarding house, some say he lives in an apartment. Because he's not coming home now.” Answer Sutinah's mother.

“ Not go home.?”

“ Yes, it has been a few months ago, since his father left home. I don't know, maybe he wants to learn to live independently. Though the mother of her pieces she lives with her mother while accompanying her sister.”

“ Indeed besides Cici school also works, ma'am.?” Ask Daniel to investigate.

The mother nodded slowly. Then took a deep breath like he was about to take off the weight in his heart. Indeed, the thin woman was harboring disappointment in herself who was unable to support her child properly.

Sutinah's mother suddenly remembered when Cicilia began to show a protest attitude towards reality.

“ Until when are our lives like this, ma'am..? All in shortcomings.?” Cicilia said one day to her mother.

“ Cici, don't talk like that. Already can eat every day is good.” Said Sutinah's mother.

“ But life is not just eating, ma'am..If you eat, chicken can eat. But, man is much need.”

“ If you do not leave us, do not smitten other women, our situation is certainly not this difficult. You don't have to bother making a living. Why the hell ma'am, you can be so kind to us.?” Asked Cicilia while crying.

“ Go on.., just let it go. Do not hewatir, mother is also still strong work, ko.” Said Sutinah's mother trying to strengthen her son and herself.

A divorce in a household can be a dilemma. Converted by religion but at the same time hated by God, because of the bad effects that will be left behind. It is the child who will obviously be the victim of separation of both parents.

Cicilia is still not calm to see her mother who is often sickly but does not mind still having to bear the burden of the family's economy. From dawn until noon Sutinah's mother squeezed sweat and inhaled street dust for the sake of her two children.

Cicilia to help ease her mother's burden. At that time he himself did not know what to do. To his classmate named Eva, Cicilia then learned to earn income without leaving school.

“ What sales, the hell actually..? Online products, huh..? Which dropship, so, yes.?” Cicilia asked Eva who was still keeping her profession a secret.

“ Online promotion can also. If you say products, maybe in the category of goods services, yes..? But, can't dropship.”

“ Services..? Home care services..? What service, anyway.?” Urge Cicilia to be curious.

“ Inner born health services..Hahaha.!”

“ Health services.?”

“ Yes. Call tip, Cici..Hihihi..” Eva replied with a giggle.

“ Haah ? The tweezers..? You turned out to be a masseuse, huh ? Dissent..Just open the signpost on the side of the road.” Said Cicilia grinning.

“ Incandescent is actually just a printout, for just a sweetener to attract customers. But that's not the point given to clients.”

“ Apaan, dong.?!” Cicilia is getting curious.

“ Warmth that is sought after by striped nose men. Hahaha..!”.

“ What..?! Seriously, lo..?”

After Eva revealed her true profession, Cicilia thought hard and repeatedly before deciding on the cause, she was well aware, the profession concerned self-esteem and the future.

“ How ? Do you want to follow ? If you want, there are prospective clients. Is old. He was about 60 to 65, that's it. But, I swear, the guy's really rich. Well, I got info, that guy again looking for a beautiful date and still fresh.” Said Eva.

“ Yes, ampu, ko, already grandpa ko still doyan jajan, yes..? What if I died in bed.?"

“ Biasalah, his name is also rich, free ! Maybe he was confused about where to waste money. But, it's good to serve grandfathers. Bener, deh. I have, ko. Delicious it was quickly spread out and immediately went home with money Hahaha..!”.

“ Crazy..!”

“ If you don't want to, it's okay. I also do not maksa. But, if you want, maybe this is the way to be able to help mother lo.” Said Eva.

“ The result is worth it, anyway.? I'm still virgin, you know.”

“ About it, pinter-pinter lo morotin wallet client only, anyway..But, the name of the boss, tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars is small for one date.”

“ Time, anyway.?”

“ Yes, geez do not believe. I'm right, the beginning of a direct date to buy a motorcycle.  Not to mention, bags, necklaces, bracelets. Anyway a lot, deh.” Eva said proudly.

After weighing up, Cicilia finally gave a decision that had a big influence on the fate of her future life.

“ Hmm...*Oke*, I tried.” Cicilia said slowly.

“ Seriously, lo.?” Eva said, Cicilia nodded.

As Cicilia looked serious about following in her footsteps, plus her supportive appearance, Eva wholeheartedly helped Cicilia to get the first customer as the opening act.

After walking for a few days, Cicilia proved that what she got with what she sacrificed was worth it. This profession makes Cicilia more and more avid.  All his wishes can be fulfilled easily. From the initial intention just want to help his mother make a living, until finally aims to support his consumer needs. Cicilia kebablasan !

But, his mother until now did not want to participate in enjoying the results of his son's efforts.

“ It's better to stay a street sweeper than to enjoy your sweat. The way you make a living is definitely not halal, Ci. But, if you insist too, yes please do and enjoy the results yourself. Mother absolutely does not want to eat from what you get, even a grain of rice.” Sutinah's mother said firmly one day, when Cicilia began to dare to reveal the side work she did.

Shamed, Sutinah's mother deliberately covered up her son's profession to Daniel, even though Daniel had long heard rumors in his school about Cicilia's real work.

“ Pay first, bu..” Daniel said to Sutinah's mother, shaking hands.

" Oiya, say hello to Cicilia. Say miss kangen. When did he come home..?" Said Sutinah's mother holding back tears.

" good, mom..I'll tell Cici..Excuse me.."

Then Daniel continued his journey to school with an increasingly chaotic mind.
