EXILED IN THE FAMILY
Brother Does Not Know Himself
In the morning around seven o'clock, Dinda seemed busy separating cassava leaves from her stalk. The plan is Dinda will cook cassava leaves, she will boil cassava leaves as a friend to eat rice, side dishes and sambel, dishes that she will prepare to welcome future husband Naira later.
Suddenly Naira appeared in the kitchen, she opened the refrigerator, took a bottle of cold water and immediately gulped it down in a standing position.
Seeing that, Dinda greeted him.
''Nai, if you drink again it's best to sit down. Not good to drink in a standing position.'' Dinda said softly.
''What the hell, Ma'am! Nasehatin everyone. Just take care of poor Ma'am's life!'' Naira interrupted the brother's words. Such was Naira, all this time she never considered Dinda as her older sister because of the below average economic circumstances of Dinda. Hearing the insults from her sister, made Dinda's heart feel sick.
''You were if you were a polite little sister, Nai. Mbak just advised you.'' Said Dinda again with a slightly trembling voice. Dinda is not used to arguing with anyone.
''Alaah, Ma'am. Don't talk about it. Early in the morning made my mood ugly. Mending Mbak cook fast, later after the prayer Zuhur my future husband will come, Naira said as ruffled waist. He stared at the brother who was sitting on the ceramic floor.
Dinda did not reply to Naira's words anymore, she chose silence because she did not want to make a fuss with her brother who did not know himself. It's nothing, Dinda is afraid her Mama hears the commotion that occurs between herself and Naira, because if the mama knows, it is certain that later she will be sprayed by the mama, because all this time the mother has always defended Naira, no matter Naira is wrong or right, still the mother will defend the youngest child of her beloved.
Naira passes from the kitchen, and Dinda still continues her work.
''Thank you, yes, because Mothers are willing to come to my house and help cook and prepare other things. Actually, you do not bother, just sit down with the herd while drinking. Dinda's gonna be there, if there's Dinda's all right.'' Mama Dinda appeared in the kitchen, she joined the mothers who were neighbors near her home.
''We want to help Ms. Neli, pity Dinda. I'll be able to see for myself, her work is a lot of gini. Where Dinda can do it alone, his hand 'there will be two, just like us, '' refuted Bu Risma, all this time Bu Risma is very good to Dinda.
''Yes, Mom. I really have the same heart as Dinda.'' Timpal Bu Wati's.
''I'm not the heart, yes, Mom. Dinda's older sister Naira, so it's Dinda's duty to cook and do other things about Naira's application, too, because only by doing everything Dinda can show her service as a child and a sister. While Siska, my oldest child, had already transferred a lot of money to me, so when Siska came later, Siska just sat with her, another case with Dinda. Yes already, then I stay ahead first yes Mom, because I want to wait for the arrival of Siska, ''' Ms. Neli said again without guilt. The mothers who heard him could only shake a little.
''You are patient, Dinda.'' Miss Risma stroked Dinda's back.
''Yeah, I'm fine, Mom. This is common for me.'' Reply Dinda while trying to hold back her tears so as not to spill. She thought my mom was too much. She thought, Does your mom love her? Like my mom loves her sister and sister.
Seriate.
