The Sugar Mommy

Bickering

Happy reading....

The quarrel in the one-bed house has become daily food. No matter morning, noon, night before going to bed there will be a conversation that can provoke each other's anger.

Baby Elsa is crying. She placed her baby on a thin, worn floor mattress. Elsa runs into the kitchen to make milk for her baby. He raised his hand to reach for the milk can on the kitchen cupboard.

"Wait a minute, son. I made you some milk first. Hold on for a while, yeah," Elsa said occasionally looking at her crying baby without stopping.

Just as Elsa unscrewed the baby's milk can, Elsa was stunned to find it empty with no waste. Elsa gulped with difficulty, she turned her milk can upside down hoping to have just one spoon left for her baby to drink milk.

"Yes, God ..." Elsa lowered her shoulders and said Istighfar.

As if she knew her mother was sad to think about the fate of her baby in the future, baby Elsa and Rian cried even louder. Elsa bit down her lips to hold back the cry of the nelangsa.

"Your milk is over, son. But I don't have a penny. How'this?" Elsa squeezes the end of her negligee.

Elsa wants a normal life out there. Elsa has to live a hard life with her husband and baby son. Elsa must refrain from being wasteful because the money she has is just mediocre. To eat alone Elsa is always lacking. As a result, Elsa accumulates debt at the stall. Not infrequently Elsa insinuated, Elsa behaved indifferently as if she did not want to take a headache. But far from inside the heart she was crying.

If only Elsa were to starve, Elsa could refrain from fasting for a while. But what about the baby? Elsa couldn't bear to see her baby crying because of hunger.

Rian stepped foot without a definite purpose. He and Elsa had just had a big fight because again his wife urged Rian to immediately find a permanent job.

Rian rubbed the back of his head that was not itchy. Rian doesn't know where else to go. In the contents of his head was only one; he wanted to calm himself down first before returning home.

Elsa was endless pressing Rian. Every day, every moment, it was as if Rian had not been given the chance to breathe a breath of calm air.

The couple continued to fight at every turn. There was a conversation that provoked anger. Just like this morning, Elsa grumbled at length in the kitchen. The woman complained that the ingredients in the kitchen had run out. Let alone rice, even a pinch of salt in the kitchen is not there.

Elsa slams cooking tools in the kitchen. Rian who was sleeping immediately woke up because he felt noisy. He then went out to rebuke his wife so as not to make a scene. But instead of accepting the reprimand, Elsa instead nagged her husband with spicy words.

"Today I didn't cook because the rice and ingredients in the kitchen were all gone. We should fast today," said Elsa while cleaning the stove.

"You just owe it to the other side of the shop. Later after I get a call to be a handyman, I will pay all your debts to the owner," said Rian lightly.

Rian's words just certainly provoked Elsa's anger. Rian seemed to have no burden when telling his wife to go into debt. Though only two days ago Elsa was berated by the owner because they have not repayed it at all, while their debt has accumulated a lot.

"Continue on, mulu debt! There's no normal way out of your head, huh? It seems you would rather see your wife humiliated in front of so many people! I'm ashamed. So embarrassed. Every day I owe money, but I never know when I have money! You are looking for the right job! You think just being a builder is enough? The job is erratic! If you have a call, you work. If not, yes you are like this .. unemployed! Your work is eating sleep!" elsa's nagging at length.

But again hindered by diplomas. Nowadays, finding a job is hard. Let alone Rian who just graduated SD. Because of the reality that college graduates are still many who are unemployed.

His right hand held his stomach which felt sore. It was getting late, but Rian did not come home after a fight between the two of them. Rian was too careless, he could not stand being taken every day by his wife.

"If I just keep quiet, I'm afraid I'll be found unconscious because I haven't eaten ..." Elsa's lips moved, letting out a soft sound.

Glasses of water he had gulped, hoping to block his stomach contents that were rumbling. But not the fullness that he felt, but bloated until he almost nausea.

"I had no choice but to go and pay to Bu Marni's shop" Elsa said.

He had no choice but to go to Bu Marni's shop. It's okay if Elsa has to be reviled, as long as it is allowed to owe even a liter of rice.

Even though it is daytime, Bu Marni stalls are always crowded by buyers. Elsa almost arrived at the stall, but her steps hesitated when she saw a lot of people there. Elsa is afraid that the events of two days ago will repeat themselves. Elsa who was scolded by Bu Marni became a spectacle of many.

"You only need to hear it for a while, after that go home with rice for you to cook," said Elsa trying to encourage herself to dare to face it. "I'd better be nagged, but I can still eat."

Before Elsa got to the stall, Miss Marni first caught a beautiful figure in front of her stall. Ms. Marni gave the code to the mothers who were gathered in her place.

"Look, he came here again to be in debt" said Ms. Marni cynically. "He thinks I sell like this does not need capital? I'm dizzy when I'm dealing with people like Elsa and Rian! His work owes .. continue. But I don't want to pay!" sindir Bu Marni deliberately raised her voice.

"Mrs Marni, I—"

"What?!" The middle-aged woman who used to be called Miss Marni immediately snapped at Elsa. "You trying to pay again? Don't hope, Elsa! Your debt from yesterday has not been paid. Now you want to owe me again? Mending you go home, drink water until your stomach is bloated!" amuk Bu Marni is still upset at Elsa and Rian. "Every shopping here never brings money. The sales result is also my daughterin, so that my shop remains standing. You know that the place I'm looking for sustenance is just this shop ..."

To be honest, Miss Marni could not let Elsa go home without rice in hand. But Miss Marni can't give back to Elsa every day. Elsa's debt record will be more and more, and Miss Marni is clearly going to lose big.

"I don't trade my merchandise anymore. There you go home! Make my mood bad!" mrs Marni gets upset.

Elsa held back from crying. Elsa's hopes have been dashed. Ms. Marni doesn't want to give any more rice debt.

"If Miss Marni doesn't give me any more rice debt, who am I looking for a loan to? Mas Rian is also unreliable," muttered Elsa.

"Glam! Wait," stop someone from behind Elsa's back.

SERIATE.....
