Family Burden
my musings

The day passed by ordinary course with confusion looking for income that does not get the idea, and in the middle of being clouded, with confusion, we heard that we and our family and husband's family were required to move out of town.

" Bang, getting out of town even we need a bang, how is this a bang?" I asked my husband

I asked my husband for an opinion, but there was no answer because my husband did not get any ideas either.

For a while yesterday, my mother and father-in-law were leaving first because they needed preparation and to find a place to stay as well of course. While we are still in this house while packing goods that will be transported to the city.

Inevitably I have to act more because the husband can not help because it is the only source of income we are not good and also really in need.

"Ma, my husband and I are required to go out of town, because my in-laws have a problem that requires this house to be sold". I immediately called my mother who was still abroad. Yes, even though you have long been left out of the country, our communication relationship is still close because of the sophisticated sudh era can greet through video calls.

" Is there no other way, son?" Ask my mama

" No ma, little boy, there's no way I can keep him here alone, even though there are fathers and aunts but the distance of their homes is quite far ma, there's no way we're going back and forth to ask for help". My answer to my mother

" If there is no other way, yes come along son, who knows the business there more smoothly". My mother answered encouragingly

"But I actually wanted to help my mom". Ask me again

My mother has been memorized by my nature, every time I contact her must be money matters, my mother understands the condition of my family and always helps when we are in trouble, the bad taste enveloped because it was always troublesome and also affected the good name of my husband who in fact.nya he could not work out of the house because of his health condition is not possible.

" But now that you're no money son, yesterday you sent money to your sister.for school fees, this is if you we only have 500 thousand, how?" Ask my mama

"It's okay ma, instead I think there will be no money because it has often asked to mama before, sorry ma always bother mama". I answered a little because I was not feeling well

"It's okay, son, it's also for grandchildren's grandchildren". Said he

Since my first and second child was born, my mother could not go home to Indonesia because of the constraints of this virus that was rife.

"Thank you ma, I'll make the most of this money". Answer me again

I didn't tell my husband about this money right away, I just wanted to know how he was trying to make money during the process of moving this house.

I kept pondering, reflecting on the problems that came, and also reflecting on all the mistakes I made with my parents. I consider them great parents, always able to make their children happy, whatever they do to make me happy, and my sister.

Even I realized this after my mother left us because of something that required us to go our separate ways, and for too long.
