Since when did the Candra Family experience a financial crisis? When is the family business on the verge of bankruptcy?
Soon after, Arya realizes that by pretending to be broke, all kinds of people with bad characters will reveal their true selves. He smiled and said, "Alright!"
After saying that, Arya continued, “Mas Wijaya, Bibi Citra, and Madam Robi’ah will visit the Buana Family tomorrow morning. Will you join them?”
"Visiting?" Wijaya Candra raised an eyebrow with a mocking look.
Arya understood the meaning behind Vijaya Candra's tone. “Don't worry, Mas Wijaya. The daughter of the Buana Family was so kind that she was even willing to accept her fake sister. He will definitely agree to go through the hardships with you!”
Arya greatly admired Pitaloka Buana, and she trusted his moral standards.
To him, Pitaloka Buana would definitely not do anything immoral. Even if she found out that the Candra Family was on the verge of bankruptcy, she would never choose to break off the engagement! However, Vijaya Candra did not speak, but rather moved the prayer beads in her hands and moved them gently, while recollecting.
The gambling den is quite far from Fatmawati's house. Therefore, the two walked for about 30 minutes before finally reaching home.
It was almost dawn.
“Sleep soundly, my nephew!”
“You too, uncle.”
At 04.30 WIB, Fatmawati woke up early, and made porridge for Gayatri breakfast.
After a while, Teguh went inside the house and said loudly, “Kakak, are you awake? I bought a racing lontong and know how to mix. Come breakfast, hurry!”
Fatmawati dried her hands with her apron and walked out of the kitchen. He said in surprise, “Why are you spending your money carelessly? I'm done cooking porridge anyway!”
Firmly laugh and say, “I received a bonus at work this month! Besides, my nephew is in a growth period, so we have to give him nutritious food as well.”
After saying that, Teguh continued, “Oh right, my nephew has not come out of his room yet huh? I'll wake her up so she can join us for breakfast!”
Niece? Fatmawati. Who is Teguh's niece character mentioned? Could it really be Gayatri?
Just yesterday, Teguh still called him a shameless and ungrateful little boy. How could he quickly turn into a nephew today? Is he dreaming?
Suddenly, Gayatri entered the house from outside as well. “Good morning, mom, uncle.”
Fatmawati asked confusedly, "Where are you going, Gayatri?"
"I went for sports." The fitness level of the previous body owners was too weak. He had only run a few rounds, yet was already panting.
Gayatri was in no hurry, and planned to go step by step to slowly build up her stamina.
Steadily pulled Gayatri's arm to make her sit up. “My niece, I bought a racecourse and mixed tofu for breakfast. There's milk here too! You are in the growth phase, so need more calcium for bone growth!”
"Thank you uncle."
Fatmawati rubbed her eyes in disbelief. “Straight, do you have a fever?”
Firmly smiled and replied, “Sister, you are a little dramatic! Gayatri is my nephew! Who else would I treat well if not my niece?”
Fatmawati was made silent. He suspected Teguh had a certain ruse, but he had no proof. The confusion remained during the breakfast.
When breakfast was over, Gayatri put down her chopsticks and looked towards Fatmawati. “Bu, I can see that you don't look well. Let me take you to the hospital for an examination! Is that okay?"
Can someone not spend money on a hospital checkup?
Fatmawati is the type of person who will bear any illness in silence even if he is sick.
The family's financial condition wasn't very good, so he couldn't allow himself to become a burden anymore. Nevertheless, Gayatri continued to speak, “If you refuse to go to the hospital, then allow me to check on you. Incidentally, I've practiced a little traditional medicine before.”
"Gayatri, you're an expert in traditional Indonesian medicine, huh?"
Gayatri gestured with her hand in response. "Just a little."
In his previous life, Gayatri who stepped on the path of mercenaries, inevitably had to study medical science. Although it could not be considered a practitioner, at least the basic thing was as easy as breathing.
“Then, you can check me.”
Gayatri nodded, stretched out her hand, and placed her finger on Fatmawati's wrist to begin examining her pulse attentively.
Fatmawati's health is weak. Symptoms include lack of vital energy and blood accompanied by malnutrition and chronic cough.
After a while, Gayatri loosened her grip on Fatmawati's wrist and said, "Mom, did you just donate blood?"
Fatmawati was stunned for a moment but then nodded when she came to her senses.
Firmly interjected from the side by adding, “What do you mean donating blood? He sold his blood for money. Which hospital would dare let your mother donate her blood in her current state of health?”
A person must undergo a physical examination before donating blood. Hospitals will usually refuse donors if the physical condition of the donor is bad.
"What the hell is going on?"
He replied angrily, "He did it so he could get the Nokia 9000 Communicator for Pitaloka Buana!"
The Nokia 9000 Communicator is the most popular phone from a luxury brand, and it is very expensive! Ordinary people would not be able to afford it.
One year ago, Pitaloka Buana wanted Fatmawati to give him the Nokia 9000 Communicator and threatened to stop eating unless he got it. Fatimah loved her daughter very much, and she was afraid that Pitaloka Buana would get sick if she did. Therefore, he finds a black market clinic to sell his blood to earn money to buy a phone. Because of this incident, Fatmawati's body, which had previously been weakened, became weaker and weaker.
Fatmawati is a great mother. It was a pity that Pitaloka Buana was not a good princess to her. In addition to the blood sales incident, Pitaloka Buana has committed many other selfish acts.
Not long before, Pitaloka Buana had proposed that Fatmawati sell her kidneys so they could buy a new home. If it wasn't for the Buana Family suddenly stopping by the house, Fatmawati would have already sold her kidneys by now.
After that, Pitaloka Buana made an even bigger fuss. He spread rumors that Fatmawati was an unkind mistress and gave false reports by claiming that Fatmawati was guilty of exchanging her son for the son of a wealthy family. He did not care in the slightest about Fatmawati's love and affection for her for so many years.
In the past, Teguh did not understand why the kind and loving Fatmawati had a selfish daughter like Pitaloka Buana. He only came to his senses when the Buana Family found them.
Pitaloka was not Fatmawati's daughter. The exchange of incidents at birth came as a blow to Fatmawati. He did not expect that the daughter he had hard-earned raised was actually not his biological child. Worse, her adopted daughter is at odds with her and hates Fatmawati after she is reunited with her family, even refusing to meet her or acknowledge her as her mother.
Fatmawati felt her determination over the years turned into a joke. In fact, he even thought about suicide. Fortunately, Gayatri came home.
Gayatri lowered her head to write the recipe while saying, "Mom, I'll go with you to get out of your job at Madura's satay shop later."
Fatmawati works at Madura satay shop for a living.
"out?" Fatmawati asked in surprise, “That's impossible!” Although the Madura satay shop does not pay well, it is at least enough to pay for the household expenses!
