WHAT ABOUT ME?

27

I did not feel the time passed so quickly. After finishing the last lesson, I rushed to go home because there were important things I wanted to say to mother.

I separated myself from my friends because they had to go to the parking lot while I went to the public road to walk home.

although the afternoon was hot but my spirit was still burning, besides having been used to walking a long distance, I was also happy.

20 Minutes walk finally arrived at home, after saying hello I rushed into the house to change clothes.

finished changing clothes I immediately approached the mother in the room because there was no sound of sewing machines lit, I am sure if the mother was resting in the room.

my mother's bedroom door opened slowly, but on the bed there was only Jefri who was fast asleep, then where the mother was.

"mom, mum... "

"mother where's mom? " call me to look for the presence of the mother from the front to the back of the house, a place to dry clothes.but nil, mother is not at home.

tired of looking, I decided to wait for my mother in the living room because I was sure she would be home soon

and sure enough, it was only fifteen minutes that I was sitting in the living room, mother had already returned from the outside.

"assalamu'alaikum.". "greetings mom when opening the door, she looked shocked when she found me sitting in the living room with an anxious and confused look into one.

"wa'alaikumsalam.jeez mother from where ever, from earlier Jasmin nyariin mother but no mother, even there is only Jefri who sleeps soundly in the room, mother from where, but, if you need anything or want to shop let Jasmin just come out, mother did not say tired of walking out of the house" asked me hunt

honestly I was very worried when mom was not home, bad thoughts had raged before the arrival of the mother.

mother approached me who still set my breath until stable, "mother from the house mother Parni kak, already ah don't worry so, mother is okay" replied the mother with a smile.

looking at the ordinary looking mother, I thanked her in my heart, at least she was fine and not exhausted.

"why mother afternoon to Parni's house? today's weather is so hot again, mom is not dizzy? "

usually during the day the mother will focus on the seams but somehow today the mother can go out of the house in this scorching daytime.

it's a pity that my mother, while others were able to get out of the house using a motorbike to speed up time, was still on foot because there was no motor at home.

ah yes, I just remembered if I was looking for mom to say something

"maybe it's not your soul mate yet" I said.

mom and I were sitting on a shabby mattress on the floor in the living room, and after drinking I decided to tell them some things I had received at school.

"again mom? " ask me when mom puts water in a glass

"that's enough brother, oh yeah, was I gonna say what's the same mom? " before, I had said that if there was anything I wanted to talk about, then mother did not immediately go to the room and wait for me to talk.

"what mom, you know that Hanum from that town? "

mom thought for a moment before finally nodding "what's wrong with Miss Hanum? " ask mom

"he offered us a free school, mom, his parents just built a new school and needed students, so he offers free school from building money to spp for one year for us even there is also provided mess if there is a distance and no vehicle"

Ms. Hanum is a very good Indonesian teacher, she often treat us when we meet in the cafeteria sometimes she also gives us some important needs suddenly, he said, in recent months we have only learned the fact that she is the eldest daughter of a wealthy businessman in the city, so it is not surprising that she has a lot of money to treat us all.

mother was a little stunned to hear an explanation from me, not only mother, I was shocked when Hanum gave this news, some of my friends who are also like me are also happy because they can continue their school for free.

"then you want how kak, join in school Miss Hanum or accept the offer of Miss Parni, fortunately I have not met her"

"Jasmin hasn't thought about it yet, so Jasmin says to mom, you guys have to negotiate with mom"

"try you think repeatedly, between accepting the offer of Bu Parni or bu Hanum, sustenance is already someone who arranges kak, but you also have to think about the bad effects for you, too, so while there is time, you think good is good, you can only pray the best for your children to have a good future and be successful in the future" explained the mother.

I nod my head in approval to mother's advice, after all there is still time to think carefully so as not to have a bad impact someday.

finished discussing, mother returned to the sewing room while I cleaned the kitchen that had not been cleaned by mother.
