For My Brother and Mother
Because of debt

Because my mother was convinced by her decision to build a house for my sister Nara.

He thawed all his valuables.

Even the money owed to relatives he was charged.

My mother is not a person who counts with relatives and relatives.

He'll help them while they're not acting and behaving well with my family.

My mother visited her brother on my stepfather's side.

He dared to collect his own money.

My mother owed them money by agreement that if my mother needed it for her needs, they could afford it.

"Assalammualaikum" said my mother standing in front of her brother's house.

"Walaikumsalam", a woman heard saying from inside the house.

"Eh mbak, please come in" he said kindly.

They sat and talked for a moment.

Then my mother expressed her intention to come there.

"Sorry lhoo yes deck Irma, I came here to ask for my money back, I again need to buy land and build a house for Nara" said my mother expressed her intention to come.

The woman known as Irma was silent.

His once friendly face turned slightly flat and confused.

"Wow, I have no money" Irma told my mother.

"Sir, you promised, if I needed it you would return it" my mother said rather firmly.

"I have a lot of bills" Ms. Irma told my mother.

"I don't want to know, I need my money right away, Kasian Nara if she doesn't have her own house like her sister" said my mother.

"I'll try to mbak" said Irma.

They did not chat as well as at the beginning.

My mother also said goodbye to home.

On the way my mother met other relatives.

"Oh, what else.??" said my mother stopped her bike and shook hands with them.

"Where are you from.???, from Irma's house.??" said my mother's relatives.

"Lhoo why do you know.??" said my mother.

"You owe me a debt, huh.??" he said again.

"lhooo I don't know anymore.??" said my mother confused.

"Udah no longer owe him yes, kasian if you have to make complicated with him" said the other mother's relatives.

"I have no problem helping my brother, but if I need yes I ask" said my mother.

"The debt is already where, the cost of college children as well" said the mother's relatives.

"Yes it's not good to talk to people" said my mother continued the conversation with other topics.

It's been more than a week that there's been no news from Ms. Irma.

Which he used to go home a lot, now he doesn't show up at all.

"How come kin, Irma has no news, my mother has already bought land" said my mother.

"I didn't pick up the phone" I said trying to call her again.

Suddenly seen in the courtyard of the house, Irma and her mother came.

We let them in as usual.

We offered them whatever food and drink we had.

Arriving in the middle of the conversation they began to speak in an unpleasant tone.

They spoke in a shouting tone until the neighbors heard.

They made fun of my mom and dad

my step.

They told me the truth was in debt and that I had to pay the debt to my mother and stepfather.

My mother tried to defend herself, she felt she never owed them anything.

My mother kept listening even though they snapped.

My mother held the position that she was not in debt.

At the end of the conversation they accidentally spoke that the debt was the debt of my late stepfather's parents to his grandson Irma Ma'am.

Then why did my mother have to pay..??.

My mother still defended herself not to lose and stepped on.

They finally came home empty-handed.

From that day on, my mother and Irma's relationship broke.

They seem to be moving away from us.

When the debt was paid to my mother, they sat for a while and hurried home.

It is a debt that has a huge impact on a relationship.

People can lose a brother just because of debt.

Finally my mother took the initiative to sell some of her rice fields.

So that buying and selling land is quickly completed.

But it's not as easy as turning the palm of the hand.

There are obstacles and obstacles.

Especially from my own stepfather.

He was always in contact with the idea of my mother, who was none other than to fight for her and her biological children to live in peace and have their own home.
