Viona POV
Dad's a farmer, while mom's just a housewife, but not mom always helps dad's work. Dad cultivated rice fields, fields and even plantations belonging to my late grandmother and grandfather, my father's parents.
But since our father died because of the pain he suffered 5 years ago, our lives have changed drastically, rice fields ,the fields and plantations that are usually managed by the father are taken over by his brother father. Mother was very depressed at that time, mother was not only sad and fell over the departure of father but she was also worried about our lives, how to continue life, mother did not have a diploma, she just finished Elementary School.
Farm workers, that's the work of the mother since the father died, but unfortunately the job offer is not every day until often we feel hungry to pitch dark because we can not pay the electricity bill.
At the peak of Reno, our youngest fell ill, had a high fever and had to be treated at the nearest health center from our village. Unfortunately we do not have a fee, there are people who tell us, take care of the free letter of treatment from the government, but unfortunately the letter cannot be used directly, he said, while the youngest we have 3 hot days did not go down.
Nobody wants to lend us money because they're afraid we won't be able to pay, it hurts to hear that, right? I still remember running into his brother's father's house, but no one wanted to lend me money, don't give me a loan, offer me to just go in.
Until finally the mother was desperate to borrow money to loan sharks in our village, we were forced to accept the loan even with exorbitant interest, the most important thing is that our youngest can get medical treatment.
I remember the conversation that night, one day Reno came home from the hospital
The flashback
"Vin, I have to find work in the city to pay the loan money from the loan shark yesterday, if in what village maybe we can pay the debt, son, we don't have a house because this house is his guarantee"
"yes buk, but I want to work tomorrow buk if in the city" asked my mother
"what a son, if in the city a lot of work, such as a restaurant or as a maid son, what an important ajad our debt is paid off and you are not short of food anymore" replied the mother
"you take care of your sister yes vin, do not wander home from school, your sister is your responsibility son when mother is not at home" continued Sinta buk while holding and stroking the hand of viona, without them realizing they were the same as shedding tears and hugging.
flashback off
Until now I did not know and always wondered why the mother sold herself is not the mother who said that there are many jobs in the city.
