"Mom-mother, did you know that yesterday morning Arsen, her son Bu Tania fought until her parents were called to school" said Ms. Zainab, Grandma Haikal.
"What's right, Mrs Zainab? What is the problem until everything fights. As far as I know, Arsen was a good boy, smart and very respectful of older people. So, it's weird that a kid like him fights with his schoolmates." Ms. Erna, Tania's rented side neighbor also spoke. I can't believe the information he just heard.
Bu Zainab sneered and turned the lazy eyeball. "Of course it's true. Lah wong the victim of the fight was my own grandson, Haikal. My grandson Bonyok's face was beaten to the ground by that bastard." The forty-five-year-old woman increasingly aggressively issued her death sentence to incite village mothers who were shopping at the vegetable maker to hate Tania and her children.
I don't know, what makes one family so hate Tania that it can gossip about its own neighbors. In fact, during her neighborly life, Tania was always kind and never once interfered in the affairs of her neighbors. Every time there is an event in the village, Xander's ex-wife also participated in providing support both material and energy. However, it is still hated by the Zainab family.
"Iih .. how sorry. Where is Haikal now, Mom? In the hospital or at home? The injury itself, how?" cecar Bu Kokom, the owner of the contract where Tania lives. The woman, known as the contractor, commented. For the affairs of gossip, ghibah and demonizing others, he always appeared ahead. For him, it is all a basic need that must be met if not then his life will feel bland like a vegetable without salt.
Ms. Zainab handed over two bundles of kale vegetables and one fresh cut chicken plastic to the vegetable seller. "Seriously enough, Mom. The corner of my grandson's lips had to be stitched as much as three stitches and for a while could not go to school. If that's the case, my son's dong losses paid a lot and even Haikal did not go to school because of being a victim of the Arsenes."
Suddenly, the mothers grimaced at the sight of the wounds on Haikal's face that became the months of Arsenio.
"Iih .. so horrified, Mom. I didn't expect Arsen's blanket son to be so brutal." Miss Erna shook her head weakly. Thanks to the persuasion from Zainab, finally the woman's assessment of Tania's only child turned into a minus. If he had known that Haikal was wrong, would the woman still blame Arsenio?
Arsenio's intelligence is above average and when hearing the inappropriate pronunciation said by children their age, of course Arsenio emotions. Which child accepts if he is called an illegitimate child, while obviously he has a father even though he does not know where he is.
"Eat him, ma'am, don't look at anyone from the outside. Looks good on the outside, not necessarily good on the inside, too" continued Bu Kokom.
"It could be that Tania's karma is because she's pregnant with an illegitimate child. Too free to get along to make her pregnant without knowing who her father is. Iih .. amit-amit baby jabang. Don't hit my offspring." Ms. Zainab tapped the backs of the middle and index fingers together to the forehead several times, then switched to tapping the edges where the vegetables were stored.
Miss Erna looked the other way. Accidentally looking at Tania who was walking towards them. "God! Tania's mom wants to shop here. We better find another topic. If heard by him, it's not good."
"Just wild! It's even good that he heard. She is indeed a s*nd*l woman. Cannot keep honor until pregnant bastard child. That's why when the child is big, it behaves like a demon!" Ms. Zainab deliberately raised the tone of voice until everyone in the vegetable stall stared at her while shaking their heads.
Tania who was already in the vegetable stall could only fall silent as she was humiliated in front of everyone. The heart ached like it was pierced by a sharp knife, tearing the woman's feelings apart.
Biting the lower lip, blinked eyes several times to prevent the woman's tears from falling down the cheek. Lord, give me strength to stand firm even though the storm is coming. I'm sure, You know what happened to me a few years ago" said Tania.
Arsenio who happened to accompany Tania shopping to the vegetable maker near her home immediately hardened her jaw when she heard some parents talking about the ugliness of the mother. Not to accept if my beloved mother is insulted in front of everyone.
Release the hand from the mother, then move quickly forward. Stand up bravely and say, "You don't know about my Mama! Never insult your mother! She's a good woman, not what you think!" said Arsenio with a deflated flower chest. Her tiny hands clenched beside the body. Sharp eyes stared at the few adults ahead there.
Brave attitude shown Arsenio, immediately make Bu Zainab deflect the perfect eyes. Not expecting that the five-year-old boy said presumptuously in front of everyone.
Randomize the waist while giving a sharp look. "Basic child does not know himself! How dare you say that to me! Son S*nd*l! Devil's Son!" maki Bu Zainab is on fire.
Feeling humiliated in front of everyone, Ms. Zainab came forward with a deflated chest of flowers. Hands extended forward, reaching for Arsenio's ears and hammering at her very tightly.
"Felt! This is a reward for a brat like you!"
Tania approached the child. "Oh my God, Mom. Please don't do that to Arsen! She didn't mean to offend Ms. Zainab and the other mothers." The woman's face paled. The body feels weak when it sees with its own eyes the beloved child in pain from defending it in front of the gossip mums.
"Don't mean how! It was obvious that he raised his tone in front of me. That means he's looking for trouble with me!" spray Bu Zainab. The woman's face was flushed with a flatulence chest.
A fight between Tania, Arsenio and Bu Zainab successfully makes people around the crowd, find out what really happened. They watched the drama while whispering.
"You heard what Ms. Zainab said, she said Arsen was an illegitimate child, huh? Oh. .. so sorry. A smart kid like him was born from the womb of a bad woman."
"really. Unsuspectedly. It turns out that Ms. Tania is not the kind of woman we imagined. Nyesel I've made him my role model in raising children" said another.
Those are some of the words addressed to Tania. However, the lucky incident did not last long when a middle-aged woman came over. "Mom Zainab, stop! It is not good to abuse children. You will be punished for committing violence against children. The punishment is heavy, ma'am."
"But he's gone too far, Ms. RT," said Ms. Zainab. Feeling annoyed because Fatimah, the wife of RT sir always prevents him.
"I know, Mom. However, Mother's actions are not also justified in the law. Do you want to go to jail and stay behind bars? I could have just reported Mom if I didn't want to stop," threatened Ms. RT.
Hearing the threat, Zainab's hand checks loosened. Arsenio was no longer grimacing in pain even so, the boy's ears were still reddened.
With a quick movement, Tania sprinkled and carried Arsenio's body in an embrace. A pair of beautiful eyes began to glaze over without the heart to see the beloved child in pain. All his life, he never hurt and yelled at his son but why would anyone else do that to Arsenio. The heart of which mother does not hurt sees her beloved child suffering before her own eyes.
"Mama don't cry! I'm fine." The five-year-old little boy rubbed Tania's back gently. Calm the woman not to cry. "We'd better go home, ma. I don't want to be here long." Arsenio broke down a hug and clasped Tania's hand.
"Bu RT, thank you for helping. Sorry, it's been a hassle." Nodding his head, asking for permission to leave the place.
"Be careful on the road, Son Arsen," Ms. RT replied with a smile.
This time you can escape the clutches of my hand. But tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, don't expect it! Wait revenge!
