Chapter 5. Yudi's Conduct.



In the afternoon.


An old motorbike with a large wagon in front of it had been parked near Alin's sembako shop. He is Mr. Marsan, who often delivers basic necessities to his Alin stall.


"Alin," called Mr. Marsan and as usual he sat down at the bale.


"Yes Mr. Marsan, wait a minute!" sahut Alin understood then took out a notebook and also some cash in a drawer.


While Mr. Marsan also took out his book from inside a shabby bag to be matched with Alin.


"This is the deposit sir," said Alin thrust cash proceeds of his sale.


Mr. Marsan calculated the amount of the deposit money and his forehead immediately shriveled when calculating the amount of money that is not the same as the amount in the note that should be paid.


"Lin, this is less money go (fifty-five thousand rupiah)," said Mr. Marsan showed the money he calculated by dragging it on the table for Alin to see.


"Yes sorry sir, today it looks like Alin's deposit is less. Noted yes sir lack," reply Alin apologized.


Mr. Marsan took a long breath. "Alin, from yesterday you gave me less deposit. This way you can go bankrupt! Alin knows for himself that you also have to muterin money again to buy groceries."


"Yes Mr. Marsan, sorry. But how else, it's so much that Alin got today" Alin replied.


Mr. Marsan shook his head. "No way Lin, you know the groceries are many buyers. This must be money kepake for the nonchalant yes the same man you the Yudi?" the canal.


Alin bowed limp and nodded. "Yes sir, the money is the same as koh Yudi."


Mr. Marsan breathed in roughness, irritated by the behavior of his late friend's son. "Basar the Yudi, already a lazy man does not want to work. Crazy gambling, batching anyway! If not the Kim Sun good friend of the Father and the Father also pity you Lin, you have been lazy to send goods here actually!"


Alin could only be silent, listening to Mr. Marsan who was babbling cursing her husband's attitude. The woman also could not deny if Yudi's attitude was truly unworthy to be imitated.


"Yes already, then you understand the lack of deposits today. But inget yes Alin, tomorrow-tomorrow if less deposit again. Forced you will reduce shipping than usual," said Mr. Marsan while shaking his head in an inexhaustible.


"Thank you, Marsan! Alin promised tomorrow-tomorrow no less money deposit," reply Alin grateful.


Mr. Marsan nodded sincerely. "Yes already, then you go down his things."


"Yes Sir!" exclaim Alin spirit and help Mr. Marsan lift all basic materials such as oil, rice sack flour and so forth into the stall.


After a strenuous activity that was quite tiring, Alin closed the stall and immediately headed to the kitchen because he wanted to prepare dinner for his family.


And after dinner was ready, Alin immediately called Yuan to eat.


"Yuan eat yuk first! There's your favorite egg!" call Alin.


It didn't take long for Yuan to come out of his room and sit on the bench waiting for his mother to scoop up the rice and side dishes for him.


"Have eaten!" said Alin.


"Yes, thank you." Yuan said the prayer before the meal, the prayer that Yuan taught during his schooling and it certainly made Alin feel insinuated by his own son.


Where he rarely taught the religious education he adopted to his son, even he himself has rarely worshiped since marrying Yudi.


But not that Alin did not want to teach it all to Yuan, but Alin still did not have time because he was too busy taking care of the household.


But throughout Alin's life, he was determined to continue to give advice to his son in accordance with religious teachings, so that Yuan became a good person and lived according to the Dhamma.


...***...


Her night.


Before going to bed, Alin took the time to listen to Yuan practice singing one song, for the mother's day event that will be presented by his son's class at the mother's day event at school on Monday next week.


Alin sat on the floor like a spectator, while Yuan stood on the bed, imagining himself standing on the stage.


Then shortly after Yuan saluted, the little man started singing.


"Love mother ... From beta ... Infinite all the time ... Just give ... Not expected to return ... As the sun shines on the world ..."


Alin clapped his hands after Yuan finished singing and saluted, there were memories of Alin hearing the song. Where he remembered the figure of his biological mother who had died.


The woman who loved him very much and immediately Alin longed for the figure, longed for love and Alin obeyed the mother's virtuous attitude, by loving her two children today.


Alin smiled. "Good! Very good, but Yuan has to learn more huh. Let the results be good later when singing with friends on stage," he replied in praise.


Yuan certainly felt happy, until he spontaneously jumped up and down on the mattress. But the pleasure did not last long, because suddenly Yudi entered the room in a staggering state due to drunkenness and immediately pushed Yuan away from the bed.


"Surge! Your habit of being a child jumps on the bed, this is a bed not a playground!" yudi Sentak. Then put his body on the bed.


Yuan got out of bed and hugged his mother. "Mama .." he said fearfully. Burning her little face on her mother's chest.


Alin was certainly upset to see Yudi who was rude to her son, especially her husband had closed both eyes even though he had not bathed after playing at his friend's house.


"Koh, take a shower!" reprimand Alin did not like to smell the unpleasant aroma of her husband's body.


"Brew!" jolt Yudi did not care.


Alin massaged his chest because of annoyance, Yudi's attitude that is always arbitrary and does not have advice, making Alin succumb and sleep three together with his two children rather than having to sleep with a husband who is lazy to take a bath.


...***...


Next morning.


"Alien! Alin!" call Yudi in front of the dining table.


"What the hell is Koh screaming? Don't you see if I take Yuan's bath again?" sahut Alin from the bathroom.


"The stomach of the cave is hungry, the spout makes a side dish!" his orders.


"That's an omelet!" sahut Alin's.


"No way, boss of the cave! Fried chicken cake," reply Yudi close the rough hood serve on the table.


"Yes wait!" sahut Alin hastened.


It did not take long, Alin prepared breakfast according to the wishes of her husband. Then change to take care of Yuan put on his school uniform.


"Where's the drinking water?" ask Yudi.


"Take yourself Koh, Alin again bother!" alin answered, he was busy wearing Yudi's clothes.


Yudi kicked his desk and got angry. "Make Yuan wear his own clothes! Don't spoil! You run the cave here!"


Alin snorted in annoyance, he smilingly looked at Yuan while buttoning his shirt. "Mama, take Papa for breakfast first. Can you wear your own socks and shoes?"


Yuan nodded. "Can" he answered.


"Pinter, our shoes are gone."


"Yes Ma" Yuan replied.


"Well!" call Yudi increasingly deafening ears.


"Yes Koh wait!" sahut Alin then rushed to the kitchen to get drinking water.


"This is the water" said Alin put a glass in front of Yudi.


"Hem, there's taro. If you meet Ayong please tell him to come to the house, the cave wants to put the same tail pa-kong! Coincidentally last night the dream cave was very clear, who knows the cave can hit four figures! It's enough money to be able to make mabok again," Yudi replied without thinking back.


"Why the hell Koh believes so much the same tides of the tail like that. It's set to be the same city, so we may not be able to win easily" Alin reminded.


Yudi raised his face and looked at Alin annoyedly. "The cave doesn't need your talk, the cave says call, call Ayong!"


Alin let out a long, heavy breath. "Yes, if you meet," he replied and went to take Yuan to school.
