"If you're still around, I'm disappointed to see you. Really don't know yourself, son," said Deri.
Hearing the mother's words, Laila suddenly shed tears. Yeah, what he's doing now is his first time. As long as Bu Rini existed, Laila did not dare to yell and fight Deri. But Ms. Herlin's hand immediately pressed the red button on Laila's phone. The call is over.
"Mom, how are you being killed?" ask Laila.
"Make what? Let you get soft again? Weeping again in front of the Darderdor?" said Ms. Herlin.
"His name is Bang Deri Bu" said Laila.
"Yes. Who's that. The important thing is that I don't like to see you cry just because of her" said Ms. Herlin.
"But all this time I've never fought Bang Deri, Mom. My mother always said that it was better to give up than to have to fuss with her" said Laila.
"When were you oppressed? If he wants money, fine. You are not a dairy cow that can be used as well. Remember, Laila, your same attitude depends on how you treat them." Ms. Herlin continued to give understanding to Laila.
Just heard some fragments of the story Laila and Deri have made Ms. Herlin very furious. I wanted to teach this man a lesson that is not self-knowing. Slowly, but Herlin managed to make Laila sure to take a firm stance on Deri.
"That's why he called again. Remember yes! It must be firm" said Ms. Herlin.
Laila took a deep breath. Preparing the sentence to be said to Deri. Despite her doubts, Laila finally ventured to answer Deri's call.
"What else is a Bang?" asked Laila in a high tone.
Laila clenched her hands as Deri scolded her. Patiently Laila was calm and gave Deri a chance to scold her to the fullest.
"Le, hello, hello" said Deri.
"Udah Bang? Got enough? It's my turn to talk" said Laila.
"What else, by the way? Don't talk much. You just transfer. Our business is done" replied Deri.
"Abang said I was hitching a ride? I live with my mother. Even though my brother said I was not your son, I don't care. My brother kicked me out of the house, I followed him. But if you want money from me? Don't ever dream Bang" said Laila.
"Bad. The child does not know thank you," said Deri growled.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you. Enough already?" ask Laila.
"School high but not pinter. The money. Send money. If you just say thank you, the kitten can also," said Deri.
"Yes, it's okay to talk to kittens" said Laila.
"Based on a bastard," maki Deri.
Laila felt her chest pounding fast. The heart pumped blood too fast until Laila's face was flushed red withholding her anger. He looked at Ms. Herlin for a moment. Shame it felt as he was being scolded like that in front of Ms. Herlin.
The voice call on the loudspeaker allowed Ms. Herlin to hear clearly Laila's chat with Deri. Through a gesture, Ms. Herlin gave the command for Laila to stay afloat and replied to Deri's words.
"Barrail child? If I'm an illegitimate child, at least I can be of benefit to mother. I once helped mom make money and take care of mom when she was sick. What does the holy child give? Just giving burden and disease" said Laila.
"Heh, watch your mouth Lele. You even came before Mom died. So where did he say to take care of mom? Even now you only once a year to mother's grave. Later you forget and will not go to the grave of the mother again" said Deri.
"Not every time I go to the tomb should report the same brother, right? And every day I never miss my mother's doain. How many months is it once? Or maybe never doain mother," said Laila.
"Not much Le talk. Send money or I who came you to Jakarta? Let you be banished to the rich man. I can't wait to see you get so puffed up" said Deri.
"Bodo is Bang. If you have money, go to Jakarta here. Eh but people kere same males modelan Abang anyway where might have a fare to Jakarta? Cigarettes with coffee are still as bad as me," said Laila.
Deri berates Laila more roughly. At first Laila patiently listened to Deri's chatter. As time went on, Laila grew increasingly annoyed with Deri's words. Laila was told not to have a husband for the rest of her life.
"Heh Bang, if only in this world the model husband is just like Brother, I would not be able to get a husband for life. But I'll show it to brother. I will live a happy life with my handsome husband and twisted tajir. And the most important thing is not to bother like a brother," said Laila.
Selflessly Laila ended the call quickly. He didn't want to argue too long with Deri. Until any moment, Deri will not change. Deri is Deri. A man who has no heart for Laila.
"Good Laila. That's what you have to do" said Ms. Herlin.
Actually, Ms. Herlin did not allow Laila to be arrogant and arrogant. But in some moments, when meeting a certain person then pride and arrogance are sometimes needed. Of course all because no one could step on it carelessly.
"Thank you, Mom. Hopefully I can be better" said Laila.
"La, I'm sure you're a strong boy. This problem is so small. Never break yourself just to think about what you don't deserve to think" Ms. Herlin said.
Despite not having a husband, Ms. Herlin has successfully dispatched her parents to take the Hajj. The house and vehicle were certainly provided by Ms. Herlin to spoil her parents. Laila was sure what Ms. Herlin's choice was there must be a solid foundation.
"La, you should get married. You are alone and there is no burden. You just have to think about your own happiness" said Ms. Herlin.
"I have two nephews, Mom. Even if Bang Deri's prayer is said, I have two children at once. If the business of getting married is still far in my mind," said Laila.
"Your brother's son?" ask Ms. Herlin.
"Yes, Mom." Laila replied while nodding.
"You still care about them? His father has already insulted you abis-uran," said Ms. Herlin.
"I don't see his father. I want memories of them. I wonder how their mother loves me. I used to live in the village in the same care of Kak Yanti. So my hatred for Bang Deri will not change my feelings for them" Laila said.
Herlin smiled. Actually, Ms. Herlin's words only provoke Laila. I want to know the true character of Laila. With Laila's answer, Ms. Herlin was convinced that Laila was indeed a good person and had a leader's soul. Her belief grew stronger if someday Laila would become a great person.
"You want to stay at mom's house?" ask Ms. Herlin.
"I asked Ms. Indah first yes Ma'am okay," replied Laila.
"Indeed, Miss Lovely, do you not want to leave the house, right?" ask Ms. Herlin.
"Oh that's not it. Beautiful Mom never denied me. I am free to where I say. Let's not worry maybe" replied Laila.
"La, I've taught you a lot of the same things. If for example, mother asks you to be a mother's child how? You can pay all the school fees as you need" said Ms. Herlin.
Laila's confused. Why did Ms. Herlin become like this?
"I'm sorry, ma'am earlier. I know this mom is good, just as good as Beautiful Mom. I learned a lot from my mom too. But if it wasn't for Beautiful Mom, I wouldn't have known Mom." Laila tried to resist very subtly.
"Mom can give you a much better facility than what Bu Indah loves," said Ms. Herlin.
"Well, for me what Bu Indah gave me was more than enough. Without diminishing my respect for Mother, I apologize. I will remain the same Ms. Indah as long as Bu Indah is still dear and nerima me," said Laila.
Ms. Herlin nodded.
"OK," said Ms. Herlin.
As long as it's quiet. The long journey to the house of Bu Indah without any conversation. Laila looked agitated when she saw that Ms. Herlin immediately changed her attitude.
"Mom, are you angry with me? Did I hurt Mom? I'm sorry, yes" said Laila.
"You have the right to choose the answer according to what you think and want. You'll see later. There's a surprise for you. Thanks for your answer today. Now please come down and rest" said Ms. Herlin.
"Surprise?" ask Laila to panic.
"Please down. Mom's hurry. There is business to be done immediately" said Ms. Herlin.
"Oh yes. Thank you so much for today. Thank you very much for all the knowledge and learning that I gave," said Laila.
"Sama-sama," said Ms. Herlin briefly.
After Laila came down, Herlin returned to the gas. Leaving Laila who was still standing staring at the car that was getting lost from her sight.
"Mom Herlin is angry with me? What surprise is it? Do I not-don't be pitted against the beautiful ma'am? But I'll answer for what it is. I didn't answer wrong, did I? When did I have to move to be Miss Herlin's son?" laila Mummings.
"La, what's up there? Come inside!" invite security.
"Eh yes," answered Laila.
Laila immediately entered and entered the room. Bi Yani asked her to eat, but her stomach was still full. After all his appetite was gone at the thought of what surprise Ms. Herlin would give him.
"It's nothing. I was in second grade. If you get to Bu Indah ngusir me, how is my school? Munadzir dong almost two years old studying in an expensive school?" laila said as she slammed her bag into the bed.
Without opening the uniform, Laila immediately followed her bag to lie on the bed. Picked up with her hands folded back, Laila imagined her future.
The shadow of his two nephews adorned his head. How heavy a burden for him when he had to convince himself to take care of and care for his two nephews. Helping Yanti like Yanti helped her first.
