I took the phone and sent a message to Dian's mom
"Assalamualiakum mbak, mbak sorry yes, starting today mbak off first work. Later after I have money again, I call again mbak. Sorry if only by text, someday I will explain why"
Undeliverable.
I am still late in my crying.
"Quickly pack your clothes and the kids. You go today too! who knows me, I go home from work You are no longer in my house" Andi said cynically as he entered the room
I just bow my head. After finishing with his words Andi came out of the room
I stroked the youngest's head. Naura seemed to squirm and opened her eyes.
"Mother.." call her with a typical sound of waking up.
"Yes son" I replied in a hurry to wipe away the tears on my face
"Work you crying?" ask her while sitting
I nodded and tried to smile
"Ayaaahhhhh" he shouted
There is no lawfulness. I tried to take his body out of bed. But I lost fast with his agile movements.
Mikail awoke from Naura's scream. He immediately crawled towards me and I immediately hugged and kissed him
"Sad mother?" tanyanya polo
I'm shaking. As much as I can, I hold back the tears that have been welling up in my eyes.
I have to be strong. I don't want to be fragile in front of my children.
Naura returned to her room soon. His face is glum.
"Dad is gone" he said
I hugged my two children. The tears that I've been holding out for all this time. I cried with a stifle. My shoulders were shaken to the point of holding the sadness in my heart.
Naura and Mikail cried to see me cry.
"Mother why are you sad?" asked Naura who was also sobbing
"Mother crying yuk, mother sad" said Mikail complained to her father
I hugged them tightly. I poured all my sadness on them. For a long time the three of us cried. Until my two kids like hiccups.
I immediately tidied up the faces of my two moody children. I kissed them lovingly.
"Let's take a shower, it's noon" take me to the two of them
"Come on, take a bath, son yes, mother wants to clean up" I continued
Naura nodded and led her sister into the bathroom.
I immediately took the phone and called Tifa, the owner of the contract when we rented it once we occupied
"Assalamualaikum Ndah" replied the voice across
"Mother, how are you?" ask me to make small talk
"Well, it's beautiful healthy, right?"
"Alhamdulillah buk" I answered
"What's up, Ndah, can I help you?" ask Tifa
"A contract is empty isn't buk?" much
"There's one more..Why Ndah?"
"Alhamdulillah" I replied a little relieved
"Will anyone want to hire Ndah?"
"Yes ma'am, I'll be there, thank you ma'am" I replied
"Yes together"
Then our conversation was interrupted. I immediately went into the kitchen, cleaned up the rest I peeled the spices. Then the fish I had prepared I washed with the seasoning I had pureed.
After that I steamed it. After pepes I put it on the stove, I returned to the room to prepare clothes for Naura and Mikail.
Naura and Mikail finished the bath, after I dried their bodies, I drenched their bodies with telon oil, gave them powder and put them on clothes.
"Yuk, wake up adek" I said to Naura who had been tidy
"Sister, the milk is already made. Take it on the table brother yes" I said to Mikail who immediately ran out of the room.
Adam is awake. He got off the bed and came out following Naura.
I was busy getting all my clothes out in the closet, then moving out my kids clothes.
I looked for the cardboard and packed our clothes in it.
My three children gave me breakfast. After that, I made my bed and took a shower.
My three children were sitting in front of Tivi when I left the room. I'll be in the kitchen filling the lunchbox for our lunch this afternoon.
I carried the boxes containing our clothes and placed them in the living room.
After that I took the key and say goodbye to Naura so that she would look after her two younger siblings.
I drove my bike to where we contracted first. After I got there, I immediately parked the motorbike and walked towards the house of Tifa's bu not far from the contract
"Assalamualaikum" I said in front of the door of Tifa's house
"Waalaikumsalam" answered from the inside I know the voice of Miss Tifa
He opened the door and we hugged and kissed
"So Ndah, Maa sya Alloh kangennya mother same you" he said as soon as we both sit in the chair
"Sama ma'am, I miss you too" I replied
"By the way, who would want to sign Ndah?" ask Tifa who made me have to swallow
I bowed and breathed deeply until I finally answered softly
"I'm mom"
"You have a house, right?" tanyanya was confused
I nodded
"Because?"
"I'm the same kid, ma'am here, my husband at home" I replied quietly
"Can't you?" he said in shock as he changed his sitting position to move next to me
"The story is long ma'am, if you don't mind I immediately want a contract. Want to clean it before taking the kids" I replied evasively
Ms. Tifa stood up and went inside, soon coming out with a key
"This is the key, the most end of the contract is empty green, you can go there" he said while giving the key to my hand
After the key in my hand, I immediately say goodbye to Tifa's mother walking out to the contract she meant earlier.
I nodded my head as I passed the other occupants of the contract.
I'll open the door immediately. The stuffy smell instantly ambushed because the contract had been empty for a long time. The floor was dusty and the tub in the bathroom was empty. I'm looking for a broom and a mop. But I didn't find.
With a little awkward I went to the right contract next to my contract intending to borrow a broom and mop
"Sorry ma'am, can I borrow the floor broom and the mop? I doubt
"Oh, I'm gonna sign next door, okay?" the tananya is friendly
I nodded with a smile.
"I'm Mila" he said, extending a hand.
"I'm beautiful" I answered welcoming her hand
"Oh, mbak Indah just wanted a broom minjam huh?, a minute yes" he said while entering into the contract and coming out with a broom and mop cloth
"This" he said as he handed the two things to me
"Thank you very much Mila, sorry you've been troublesome" I said unkindly
"It's normal" he replied with a laugh
I immediately turned around and entered the contract. I wrapped my hijab around my neck, raised my sleeves, and rolled my foreskin up to my knees.
After that I began to sweep the simple room which was only a living room, room and kitchen.
Finished by sweeping I mop the floor. I mopped until I repeated it three times so that the musty smell was gone. After that I washed the mop cloth and dried it and returned the broom to Mila
"Thank you so much mbak, the mop is still sunbathing" I said
Madam Mila nodded with a friendly smile. After that I returned to contract, locked the door
"Mak Mila" call me
Mila's mom is out from the inside
"Yes Beautiful Boy?" the tanya once arrived at the terrace
"Titip key, I want to go to the market to buy a mat with furniture" I said while handing the key to his hand
After the key was received, Mila I immediately said goodbye to go to the market.
Arriving at the market I immediately entered the furniture store. I bought all the furniture that my son and I needed. I also bought a pillow and a mat.
I had enough of my groceries, and I immediately called a rickshaw to deliver my groceries to my contract.
After the rickshaw carrying my groceries walked, I took the motorcycle in the parking lot and preceded the rickshaw as a guide so that mamang pedaknya not stray.
"Mbak Mila took the key" I said at the speed of standing in front of his open rented door
Madam Mila came out holding her child, and gave me the key
"Thank you" I said and went to open the door to my contract
Mamaang rickshaw who also helped me bring my groceries.
"Well, can you help me?" I said while bringing in the stove cardboard
"What's mbak?" tannya
"My kids are still at home, can't you pick up my kids and bring our stuff?"
"Can't be" she replied happily
"Then I get ready first yes mang" I said quickly brought all the groceries and then took the key of the motorbike.
...****************...
"Let's go son" take me to my three children
"Where's mother?" asked Mikail plainly while holding her small bag
I didn't answer
Mamang rickshaw began to bring cardboard clothes and cardboard toys my son.
"Done mbak?" ask mamang becak.
I checked the living room where I put the boxes, then went out into the room where the mamang was waiting
"Already all the mang, mamang intervened to this place yes" I said
"Ready man" he answered
I led my three children out of the house. There was sadness that struck my heart as I walked out. I try hard, I hold back the tears that have been in the eyes.
I looked once again around the living room until finally with a heavy heart I closed the door and locked it.
My tears trickled as I pulled the key to escape the door. I closed my eyes, soaking in the sadness I couldn't describe. Only then did I put the key into a flower pot located on the terrace not far from the entrance
My three children just look at me. I looked at them with a smile.
"Yuk Nak" asked me to lead them up the bike.
"Where are we going?" Naura asked confused
My children's questions I didn't answer. I turned on the motor immediately and with a broken heart I began to run it away from the house I had lived in for more than four years with my son and husband.
Along the road to my tears contract continued to flow without me being able to prevent it
