CHAPTER 66 THE PRAYER OF A MOTHER

" You stay here for a while, son, until you get a job back. "

" No ma'am, Rissa won't add to Mom's burden here. The sisters still desperately need Mom, but Rissa is an adult and independent Mom. Rissa could find another job. "

" But what work is it ???? "

" Any work Ma'am, the important thing is Halal Ma'am. '

" Yes son, Mother's prayer is with you, son. "

" Yes, thank you, Mom. "

" But for tonight you're here, son. ''

" Yes Ma'am, but tomorrow morning Rissa's back to the boarding house, ma'am. "

" Why not tomorrow afternoon, son ??? "

" Faster is better Mom, Rissa wants to find a new job. "

" Yes already then, son. "

I took a break while Mom was busy cooking for all of us. I really miss this room, I left it a long time ago. Small but clean and comfortable. But this house now feels lonely, because Grandpa and Grandma are gone. Back when Grandma was still around, she was the one who always paid attention and spoiled me. It can even be said that I am his favorite grandson. I closed my eyes and did not feel like I was asleep.

Tok. tok. tok.

My door sounds on someone's tap.

" Who ????? "

" I'm Brother, " replied the Princess, My youngest sister.

" Yes just go in. "

" Sister, can I ask for something not the same Brother ??? "

" What did you ask for deck ????? "

" I don't have any money at all, sister, and there's no way I'm asking you to. I must be angry, brother. "

" What do you want to do Dek ???? "

" I want to be like my friends, Kak, eat Fried Chicken kayak KFC in those cities. Here is Kak KFC-KFC an Kak. "

" Eat fried chicken on deck. "

" Beda Kak, my friends have often eaten there. I'm the only one who hasn't been there yet, brother. I would love to go there, brother. "

" But we have to be self-conscious Dek, we are not rich people. We live fit-and-fit even lack of Deck. "

" Yes, I know, Brother, but at least once I want to eat there. I want to be very different, Sister, I am always different from each other. What's wrong with me eating there with my friends ????? "

I also could not bear to see my sister like this. I know it feels different from my friends, I don't want my sister to feel the way I used to. Nelangsa, that must be how my sister feels if she can't be like her other friends. For this time let my sister can frown just like her other friends.

I took a piece of fifty thousand and gave it to my youngest brother.

" Yes Brother, I will always remember Brother's words. Take it easy, brother. "

" Yes, my sister is going to take a shower first. "

" Yes Kak, the Princess was told to tell Kak Rissa to eat Kak. "

" Yes Put, thank you. "

" Yes, again, thank you for the money. Later if the Princess is old and can work, the Princess promises to replace the Princess who will treat Brother. ''

I laughed at the words of my youngest brother.

" Promise Yes Dek, will you treat Brother if you have worked ??? "

" Yes Brother. "

The Princess came out of my room feeling happy that she got what she wanted. I am also happy to see him happy like that.

I was getting ready for dinner, and I had already taken a shower and changed. Mother's cooking menu served at the table this time is very tempting my taste, it's been a long time I did not eat my mother's cooking. There are vegetable lodeh papaya, sambal pecel, vegetable sprouts, vegetable kale, tempeh fry, peyek salted fish and also crackers. Not forgetting the warm tea completes our dinner today. Really good food tonight. We all ate voraciously, even my sister until she got there again.

This dinner was a moment I missed so much. Even though the father I'm with now is not my own father, he thinks of me as his own son. He never differentiated me from my brothers. He never even scolded me, let alone hit me. Isn't a good stepfather and nurture also a sustenance ????? "

Not only that my two sisters also consider me like their own siblings. Nothing is different for us. We are all the same, because after all we were born from the same womb. I love them both very much, and hope that someday I can make them both happy.

After dinner I sat on the front porch of my house. I was thinking about my future. I'm trying to rack my brain so I can scavenge my sustenance to connect my life. After this I have to work where ????. I can't hitchhike at my mother's house, and right now my mother's economy is in trouble. My stepfather also has no job. I can't stay here for long, because I don't want to be a burden to my family.

Suddenly my mother came near me.

" For a while stay here until you get another job, son."

" No Ma'am, Rissa knows Mom's current situation is difficult Mom. If Rissa's been here a long time, Rissa's going to burden Mom. "

" There is no such thing as a child burdening his parents. "

" The problem is that Rissa is constantly here where Rissa can't find a new job. Rissa can't keep expecting work at the laundry's Mom. Because until now there is no certainty at all if it will open again Mom. "

" I'm sorry your mother couldn't help you, son. "

" The prayer of the Mother is far more important, ma'am. "

" Yes son, I will always pray for you the best. Hopefully you will get a new job soon, and certainly better than yesterday. "

" Yes Ma'am, a Mother's Prayer will surely be granted by God Ma'am. Just pray Rissa every day, Insya Allah Rissa will always be given the convenience of Ma'am. "

" Yes son, yeah let's get in fast break there. Don't sleep at night. What do you want to eat tomorrow, son ???? "

" Don't bother Mom, it's up to you. "

" Yes already then, quickly sleep there. "

" Yes Ma'am. "

I entered my room, for tonight I want to enjoy my night's restful sleep. I hope tomorrow I have a way out to earn sustenance. Amens.
