The Poor Girl's Match

Chapter 4

The clock has shown at 19:30 pm, Sari and her parents have just finished performing the isya prayer'. They were sitting in the middle room, with no television, no radio, only the sound of crickets and frogs that were mutually unpretentious. A voice that every night rang out, accompanying the silence of the night sari and her family.

In silence, Sari ventured to talk about her who would migrate to the city.

 

"Sir, ma'am, anyone wants to talk about sari with mom and dad, important" said sari with caution\-care.

 

"What's important you want to say, son?" ask pardi curious.

"Look, actually sari ingi looking for another job, a job that can meet our needs every day. Because from selling tofu, sometimes we do not produce anything. Sari wants to make mom and dad happy, not like this. Not that the sari is not grateful with the present life, but the sari just wants to try to get a more pack, mom" explained the sari at length.

 

Mr. pardi and bu siti can only be silent for a moment after listening to the explanation of the sari. There was a sense of sadness and heartlessness that appeared in their hearts. They feel they can not do anything for their children, meet the needs and desires of the child.

"Have you thought of a mature\-ripe for your intentions?" pardi looked at Sari.

 

"Already sir, the sari has intended and determined to go to the city.

"But sar, I can't bear to let you go to the city alone, what else you haven't been to the city. The city is cruel, son, there are many bad people there, think back to your intentions.. I'll work to help you make money here" said bu siti who looks sad.

"Mom, sari don't want to see the working mother, let sari who works for money. Sari is an adult mom, not a child anymore, sari can take care of herself, God always protects the sari. Father same mother doain sari aja, hopefully sari there can be successful and can be happy mother and father.

Anyway, you also need medicine ma'am, sari want you healed. then please let sari go yes ma'am!" said sari while holding her mother's hand.

 

"If it does become the desire and intention of the sari, let the sari go ma'am. Let sari reach for his\-his ideals, we can only pray.." sidelines pardi advised his wife.

 

"Truely heavy mother son, if you have to go far, mother does not have the heart. But if that is your intention, I can only pray from here" said bu siti, not feeling clear liquid had dripped on her cheek.

 

Without answering the sari directly hugging her mother, the sari never wanted to see the tears of the mother dripping. Only his two parents had sari in this world, there was no one anymore. Sari hugged her mother very tightly. Sari promised to try to make her two parents happy.

"If your father is not sick like this, maybe you will not be this difficult, son, Excuse me father" said pardi with teary eyes.

"Then when are you going to go to town, son" asked his mother.

 

"God willing 3 more days sari departs, sari does not want to linger\-long again ma'am, sari has made up her mind. In order to improve our economy" said sari memgebu\-gebu.

"But what about the cost to go there and to eat as long as you haven't got a job?" asked the father, starting to worry about the cost of the child.

"Father and mother do not have to think about it, sari has thought about the problem, let sari who is looking, insya Allah there must be a windfall" replied sari lying, because he also does not know where to find money from to get there. Sari gave such an answer because she did not want to make her parents think. Sari will think about it herself.

Deep down in his heart, his true sari did not have the heart to leave his parents go far, what else with the state of his father who is still sick. But only in that way can Sari find more money for her family. No brother, sari is an only child, inevitably, he is the one who bears all of it. Sari never regretted her life. Having a mother and father is the most precious treasure for the sari. The determination of the sari is only one, which is to make the two parents happy and if there is more fortune, the sari wants to raise the hajj someday.

 

Late at night, the air gets colder...

"Mom, father, sari sleep first yes..pa sari sari sari sari sari sari sari sari mengamuan makuan sleep also, 'already night" said sari while standing from her seat.

 

"Sleep son, mother and father also want to sleep" said bu siti

They rushed into their rooms, and the air became very cold that night. Sari entered her room, then laid her body on a mat. Sari could not immediately close her eyes, her mind still fixed on the fare for her to go to the city. Sari is confused about where to find money, there are no relatives to borrow money.

After thinking for a long time, you find out who can help you..

Ma'am is beautiful, yes.that name that comes to mind sari.

"Tomorrow I will go to the house of the beautiful ma'am to borrow money, may he deign to lend money to me" inner sari with a slight smile on her lips.

Suddenly, a sudden sound of thunder came with a flash of light. This surprised Sari.

No matter how long the rain falls back on the earth. The cold air is getting colder. Sari immediately pulled out her array blanket to cover her body that was starting to get cold. Sari tried to close her eyes but could not be closed. Sari looked at the ceiling of her house, she was worried that her house had collapsed because of the heavy rain.

"O Allah may You always protect the family of the servant from distress" the heart's sari prayer.

After climbing the prayer, Sari tried to close her eyes again... Over time the drowsiness began to hit, and finally the sari can sleep soundly even though outside the rain still fell with its swift.
