The Rise of the Insulted Woman

3. Siti's wishes

Secretly Siti heard the quarrel between her mother and sister. It occurred to Siti's mind to leave the house. But he has to consider a lot, starting from going where, how his life will be, how his parents will feel when he goes. Being in the wrong position makes Siti do not know what to do and maybe there is nothing she has to do.

Siti stepped into the kitchen as soon as the voices of her mother and sister were silent.

"Mom here's the extra cake." Said Siti putting the materials on the table.

"Yes, that's for tomorrow. You trade the cake tomorrow. Later if you finish mother addin again. Than a lot of direct but do not sell it dear."

"Yes Mom. Tomorrow I'm all looking for stalls to make in the titipin ya ma'am."

"It's up to you. You just take a break. It's night. Single mom's a little bit of this."

Siti said she stepped into her room. He hopes with his efforts peddling cakes can make his mother's business more advanced. Because that's all he can do right now.

At 7 a.m., Siti was ready with her trade. He pedaled a bicycle splitting the highway that was already crowded with vehicles. His eyes dizzy looking for stalls or shops to leave cakes made by his mother.

Not to forget Siti also entered the village area so that the cake she brought was soon used up. Under the blazing sun that began to rise Siti was still pedaling her bike on the road that had a width not how much. Many times he had to wipe the sweat on his forehead which started to get sunburned.

Despite having to heat up, there is a little relief in Siti's heart, because two food stalls are willing to accept Siti's cake.

He decided to rest first at a patrol station. His sweat became more clearly visible in the corners of his body.

"Mom cake. Lovely cake made by my own mother. Guaranteed cleanliness and health. Please select it". Siti said to some people who passed by in front of her.

Some of them are just stopping by, some are not paying attention to the promotion, some are willing to buy some Siti cakes.

Shortly afterwards came a woman riding her motorcycle stopping right next to Siti's merchandise.

"You're selling, don't work?" Said the woman who turned out to be Siti's neighbor.

"Bram's shop has moved. So I sold mom's cake."

"Oh that. The more complete your suffering. The more complete also blasphemy materials people for you. Basic useless." The woman muttered at the end of the sentence and left Siti.

He was already immune to the voices of all who blasphemed him. It has become a staple food for the city. Ignore their words? Of course not. Silence does not mean forgetting, it does not mean that he does not remember anyone who insulted him. He had no grudge, never crossed his mind, only their mouths were indeed worth remembering. Keep in mind to be a lash for Siti.

Siti has never attempted to change her physical form into neighboring months, she has tried her best to change herself starting from losing weight. He never ate rice for a few days just to reduce his weight. It is not that Siti was admitted to the hospital because of dehydration.

He went around to several villages that were close to where he lived. He pedaled his bike until the afternoon. Many pairs of eyes were looking at him with one eye, but he did not want to pay attention to it. He pretended to be indifferent to their views.

There are still five more cakes left, because almost afternoon, Siti decided to go home. On the way he remembered Tini who he thought he was a burden on the family. It flashed in his mind to wander into the city to change the family's finances. Again her head reminded Siti of her disgusting physical form. Fat, acne everywhere, black, dirty. Do I need to change my physique first? So that he is easily accepted by people like Tini. At least he will not be looked at disgusted by people who see him. Yes, Siti will try to change her physique starting from acne that has been scattered in every corner of her face. That's Siti's determination, she does not want to be a burden on the family. He has to start now, he thought.

Shortly thereafter, Siti arrived home. A tired face was coming from his black face.

"Where's ti? Is it selling?" Ask Bu Lastri who is on the terrace

"Alhamdulillah Mother. The rest of these five. It was almost afternoon, so I decided to go home."

"Yes, it's okay. You keep showering eat ya." Said Miss Lastri took a box where the cake was sold

Siti entered the house after giving up her hard work all day. He wanted to take a shower immediately so that he could fill his stomach which began to rumble.

At 7pm everyone gathered at the dinner table. It seems Tini and Siti are both nervous. They want to convey something important. Siti wants to convey that she wants to migrate to the city in order to change the economy of a mediocre family. While Tini was agitated because he hesitated to tell about Haris who invited him to visit the man's parents' house.

"Tin, you know that cream is not suitable for me. Maybe these acne scars on my face can go away." Say Siti suddenly

"Will you be unemployed, where's the money to buy cream?" Tanya Tini

"Tini, you can say it more politely. He's your mom. You always blaspheme him about his physique. Once you hear he wants to change you are despicable too. What do you want?" Ask Mr. Rusdi firmly.

Tini just clucked in annoyance. Always defending that unlucky child, he thought. Puckered her lips Tini walked towards her room taking the acne scar removal cream.

"Try it, if it is suitable to buy it yourself. The price is cheap, only 150 thousand. If I have money, I'll buy it." Tini said still with her grit.

"Thank you, tin."

Siti hopes this is a good start to the lives of everyone around her. He was tired of being insulted here and there just because of his bad physique.

Siti planned to migrate to the city after there was a change in her. He did that so that he would no longer be insulted by the people of the city. Although Siti knows to start a change is not easy, but Siti is determined to change herself. He should be able to show everyone that he is not as bad as they think he is. He can change, he can be beautiful, he can be slim like his sister. That's Siti's determination now.
