Forcing Old Marriage
Earning a living,,

The man nodded and Ujang started working today. The man called grandfather looked at Ujang with a sad look, Ujang is a very good man, famous for being very generous and never look at helping people. Ujang is not a person who is in trouble he has been born as an only child who is rich, only his parents teach a simple life. The man instead became his men now, the man who used to teach him how to open a furniture business is now even his men. Simultaneously, Mentari who had just returned home to teach and had not felt rest looked confused, Aqeel and Aqeela had a fever, while Azzam had indeed had a fever since two days ago.

"Let's just take it to the hospital" said Madam Mentari who was also worried about the state of her grandchildren.

"We asked Bang Ujang first Bu," said Mentari, the woman then pulled out her phone and called Ujang several times, but Ujang did not answer the call at all.

"Where the hell is Bu?" mentari asked his mother, she seemed to be getting upset.

"So morning Ujang said goodbye to mother, she wanted to meet someone, she did not explain who that person was," replied Ibu Mentari.

"Don't he already know the child had a fever yesterday, why did he still leave the house?" mentari.

"Prophey! maybe this time he wants to take care of the important things," said Mentari's mother while holding a fussy Aqeel.

"Sometimes Bang Ujang is completely insensitive, obviously his son is sick like this, he still had time to go out to meet someone," said Mentari nagging.

"Don't expect bad things about your husband, knowing he's out working for a job, making a living for all of you" said Ibu Mentari.

"Sometimes, Bang Ujang is hard to talk to him too, since last night he didn't talk to me at all, Mom. He also did not want to drink the coffee that I made for him this morning, I don't know what he wants, I don't understand it either" said Mentari.

"You shouldn't be like that with your husband. You need to be patient with Ujang, because he feels so very lost with what happened to him lately," said Mentari's mother advised Mentari.

Finally Mentari was silent because he had not been able to calm his mind, last night Ujang did not speak a word to him, let alone expect the man to apologize, obviously very impossible.

"Jaga children for a while, ma'am, I want to change clothes first" said Mentari who felt sultry with the blazer he wore.

"Well," said Mentari's mother while carrying Azzam, Azzam's feet were very cold, even after being wrapped in a blanket.

Just now Mentari stripped off her hijab in the room, the screams of Madam Mentari made Mentari very shocked.

"Here Dance, get one water dipper," cried Madam Mentari.

Mentari who heard the screams immediately came out of the room and found Azzam who was convulsing.

"Oh my God! why are you, son?" said Mentari then took Azzam from his mother's lap, Mentari's frantic cries filled the living room, only this time he saw his son in such a condition.

Not losing his mind Madam Mentari went to the well to take water one dipper, then the water was put in her mouth, then spouted it into the face of Azzam, twice the spray Azzam unconscious, Azzam, in the third burst of Azzam blinked his eyes, he looked extremely exhausted and limp.

"Open his shirt, dip it in this dipper, and put the wet shirt on his chest" said Ibu Mentari.

"Let's go to the hospital," said Ibu Mentari and Mentari nodded, they can no longer waste time, Azzam must get the handling of the Doctor because the drug dispensary did not give any progress.

"How do we get the kids to the hospital?" mentari.

"Mother will ask the neighbors to drive a car," said Mentari's mother and rushed out of the house, Aqeel and Aqeela continued to whine from earlier as if asking for attention, but Mentari could only focus on Azzam at the moment, in his heart he was irritated at Ujang, the man should be at home all day to look after their children because however his mother also has household chores and also keep the stall, it is impossible to take care of three small children at once.

"This is your reward for Jang today" said the man, taking out three hundred bills.

Ujang who saw that was moved, he did not expect his wages to be paid today either.

"Why is my salary paid now, Cake?" ask Ujang.

"I'd better pay your salary every day, so I don't feel overwhelmed paying your salary once a month," said the man who actually deliberately hired daily Ujang because he knew Ujang must be in desperate need of money now.

"Oh so thank you Kek," said Ujang.

"Yes, come home it's nine o'clock in the evening, I've been warning you to stop from five o'clock in the afternoon, but you're very determined to finish all the expenses tonight, you know! working with diligent people is the risk like this, the work must be finished quickly," said the man with a laugh.

Ujang who was used to working until night did not feel the work this time was a burden, he just smiled thinly while taking the money.

"Thank you very much for giving me this wage, Kek" said Ujang.

"Ah that's not how much for you Jang," said the grandfather.

Ujang just silent, yes maybe three hundred thousand is nothing to him before losing his ration forest, his garden, his furniture warehouse and his house, the money of three hundred thousand for him was very small,, he said,, but this moment was so big because he no longer had anything.

"Go home! pity your wife's child is waiting at home," said the Grandfather as he patted Ujang's shoulder.

"Well, thank you, Kek" said Ujang again.

Ujang then took the motorbike loaned by his father-in-law, drove the motorbike away from the location of the house where he worked, the man saw the wide back of Ujang away, it felt so sad to see the state of Ujang. A very nice, simple man given a calamity big enough that he started his life from scratch again.

Ujang who was relieved, then stopped by the minimarket, the thing he needs to buy today is a child presser with milk, that is the most basic need that must be at home, should not be absent.

After being bought milk and pressers, the remaining money was only two thousand then given to the parking attendant, everything was finished. It's okay that it's important he's already earning and giving a living to his son and wife today.
