Village Girl Makes Opium

Chapter 26

POV CLARA'S

Eleven o'clock in the afternoon I went home, opened the door of an unlocked house looking for my mother

"Mom, mother?" call me half-running around every corner of the room but I can't find my mother

From behind the house came the sound of viona the little one humming cheerfully

It turned out that mother was picking cassava leaves I approached mother and hugged her from behind

"Ehh mother's son why is this ?" he turned around to stroke my back slowly

Actually hesitant to say my intention to find my biological parents in Jakarta

" Mom, how about talking to mom?" I stared at my mother's bead

Mother's forehead is wrinkled maybe she's confused not usually invite to talk seriously to her

" Speak son ?" reply mom leads sitting in a rattan chair

"Actually,, ? Em, mom?" I hesitated to say it

"No need to hesitate, son, tell mom ?"

I took a deep breath before I started talking to my mother, after being much more relaxed I clasped her hand

" Mom, actually ara want to find parents of the birth of the Jakarta fig, can ara ask for a mother's work address first ?" I said to mom

Barti's mother stared blankly at him straight ahead after listening to my intention to meet my biological parents

" Mom? , "call me but mother does not flinch

" Mommy,, ?" call me again to shake my hand in front of his eyes

Mom realized from her daydreams "I'm sorry mom, son,?"

I nodded

"Are you sure you want to find them there, son?"

I nodded again

The sound of my mother sighing heavily, her dewy eyes staring at my face

"Well, you can't forbid looking for those who are more entitled to have you, son? Will I record the address of the mother's employer first? Don't worry about me here, huh ? Hope you can find them soon ?" said his mother, her tears dripping down like she was not willing to let go of me

Guilt rippled in my chest "Ara promise after reaching Jakarta,ara will find work to help mom, so mom does not need to sell fried food again huh ?" I hugged my mother

Madam Harti nodded her tears did not stop dripping wet clothes that I wear, I just kept waiting for mom to be relieved to spill all her sadness.

Long time hugging mom heard her voice not crying anymore and let go of my embrace

"God willing tomorrow ma'am,,? " i answered mother

"Yes it's a break now huh, let the mother cook ?" said the mother brought the freshly picked cassava leaves earlier

I nodded carrying Viona into the house to accompany her to play with dolls

An hour later, my mother called me to eat

I immediately went into the kitchen holding a viona

Ceklek ! The door was opened from the outside and it was just coming home from school

" Tumbenn just got home?" much

" Yes, sister, was it studying group at school ?"

I nodded

Deni put his bag on the chair, then I took the deni to eat together

" Yuk den,, ? " let me take deni

The cassava leaves were on the table eating, we sat down to take rice each and the mother began to feed the viona

"Mom didn't eat "my question to mom

"Let's go, son, "he replied

Seeing the rice that stayed a little my appetite was gone.

"this is mom, eat ? " my words were to give me a plate of rice that I had taken earlier

Mom looked up at me fixedly "For you son, mom's not hungry ?"

Sarti's mother held tightness in the chest, not willing to see the child she had grown up so far will leave her alone

" Didn't mom let me go ?" ask my mother

Harti's mother silently did not answer while wiping her tears that were about to drip

" Reply, ma'am, are you not willing,?

Then ara will not go looking for them, let's forever ara not meet them as long as mom is happy !" I said a little raise my voice

" Why are mothers so selfish, and they deserve the affection of my biological parents and look for them wherever they are ?" my mumbling went away

No matter what mom hears me say
