Forcing Old Marriage
Need job...


"Does Dad have any money saved? our stalls are empty, goods must be added, even when people ask for soap, a soap is no longer there," said Madam Mentari venting her gnawing.


"I don't have any savings, is there no gold to sell?" ask Mr. Mamad.


Mentari's mother immediately shook her head, she used to have enough gold and it was used to educate Mentari, their fields no longer produce. Mr. Mamad was a very wise husband, he rubbed his wife's shoulder in order to calm down.


"It's okay, ma'am, hopefully in the future we are given sustenance that we did not expect," said Mr. Mamad so calmly.


Mentari's mother nodded to what her husband said was indeed true, their son and daughter-in-law had just been stricken, no longer had a job and a place to live, she said, all they need to do is be patient and pray for them. Without the father and mother of Mentari realize it turns out Mentari is behind the curtain listening to their conversation, accidentally when Mentari was about to go to the kitchen to make her son's milk, he said, he accidentally heard his father and mother chatting in the dining room making Mentari accidentally hear. Mentari realize they have become a burden, not anything the milk of the twins alone has cost a lot, not to mention pampers and daily food, it feels Mentari just be a burden,, that makes him sad.


Mentari walked into his room and found Ujang pensive.


"What do we have to wait for the car to sell first can get money?" ask Mentari.


Ujang looked at the face of Mentari who looked gloomy.


"You mean?" ask Ujang back.


"Can we find no other way but to wait, for example, to borrow money?" mentari.


"I can't" said Ujang.


"Abang," argued Mentari.


"Children need fees, our costs and children are not small, we have been here for a week" said Mentari.


"I understand where you are going" said Ujang with his head down, his heart felt very sad, Mentari hinted, he was just a burden in this house.


"Staying at home will not make things change Brother," said Mentari lowered his head, Ujang gasped, from all Mentari's words, this time very sad, he was very sad, it was as if he was a useless man who did nothing.


"Wait!!!" said Mentari who felt sorry to have said that after seeing the face of Ujang.


"Nearly four years," replied Mentari choked.


"How long do I make your living?" ask Ujang.


Mentari was unable to answer, he knew Ujang was hurt because of his words.


"And how many days have I not been able to support you because we have been hit by a disaster?" say Ujang again.


Mentari saw Ujang's face that looks sad, his voice shakes his eyes glazed.


"The worst and the poor life will show you how much you love Dance, and I realize you are not as loving as me," said Ujang then rose, not having time to give Mentari to speak, while Mentari felt guilty, did not have the courage to explain, everything went awry.

"I'm not feeling well, your classmates want to ask for work in my furniture business" said the old man who was so friendly.


Ujang just smiled thinly barely noticeable.


"What kind of class is the cake?" Ujang.


"Yes!!! you're a big businessman who has a famous furniture business, while I only have a small business, yes I will hire you, it feels very unethical," said the old man again.


Ujang looked down, everyone thought that way to him, if they knew that he was now a poor man who had lost everything.


"I need Kek's job, at least until I have the capital to reopen the business" said Ujang.


"Of course, I gladly accept you, because your skills are beyond doubt" the old man said with a friendly smile.


"Thank you Kek" said Ujang.
