The Part 16


"Oh the idiot came home too. I thought you forgot the house. This house is too comfortable without you," said Sumiati welcomed to the arrival of Niar at the door. Instead of answering greetings, the mother covered her chest and sneered at her second child.


Niar held his hand in front of Sumiati, intending to crucify his mother's hand. But immediately on the look as if feeling disgusted.


"Mom, I'm gone for a month, don't you miss this kid?" niar tried to be patient with his mother's attitude.


"You want a month, a year, even a lifetime, I don't care. Even without you, this house is comfortable. It's just that there are no free helpers." said Sumiati ketus.


"Astagfirullah hal'adzim, Ma'am ... Can you be a little good with Niar. Niar misses Mom a lot. Don't welcome my return with Mother's curse." Niar's two corners of his eyes began to shed tears. Like swallowing bitterness, longing held for a month does not make him get good treatment. Even the foot had not entered the house, but it had been blocked by the spicy curse of the mother.


"Nobody wants your return! Disappeared from the world there is nothing to cry about you, other than your father!"


"Mom, Niar bring souvenirs for Mother, the father of Nesva," Niar ignored the spicy curse of Sumiati. Too often heard the expression of hatred from his mother made Niar consider it as a regret for Sumiati for him. Expecting more is only in the do'a and dreams, in fact for 18 years he grew up without even feeling the affection of Sumiati. I don't know what red thread made her mother hate her so much. Once terbesit think that he is not a biological child, because the treatment Sumiati does not reflect a biological mother. But the question was strongly refuted by Mr. Bejo who said one hundred percent he was his biological son. Then the reason why Sumiati hated his presence was still not revealed. Until now the 18-year-old girl has not found why.


Sumiati said the paper bag in Niar's hand, then turned around to want to enter. A second later, he turned around again. "You've been working for a month, you've been on payroll. Where ... " Sumiati thrust her hand in front of Niar.


Niar opened a small sling bag, then took the wallet, had not had time to open the wallet but had been snatched by his mother. "Mom, don't take it all, just pay the fare back to the city" Pinta Niar said.


"Yes-iya I save a hundred thousand for the fare," Sumiati replied with a smile. Niar's salary this time is quite a lot, with the money he can buy goods that have been sought from a few days ago.


Niar was only able to breathe a long breath, lucky he had separated the money saved. If not, all will be taken by his mother.


"About-of-home don't feel good and keep forgetting the work of the house. I haven't washed the same clothes yet. You cook for dinner, do everything. I want to go to Nur's bude house first," he said with a ketus. After that, go into the room to prepare.


Niar took off the sandals and put them on the shelf. After that go in and go to his room for a while, the girl misses his room that one month he did not occupy. Although the room was narrow and worn out, it was there that he could dream beautifully.


Savings from used bottles is still diligent he inserted. If at any time there is a sudden need, such as illness or other urgent needs he can use the savings money.


In the afternoon Niar cleaned the yard, just then Tini and Aris' mother had just returned home from traveling. Tini's mother found out Niar's return soon approached the girl. "Niar ... geez, I miss you very much," he said.


"Mom Tini, Niar misses Mom too." The two hugged for a moment to let go of the miss. Sumiati who incidentally the birth mother never hugged him, while Tini's mother who was just as a neighbor was so caring and doting on him. If only he could be close to Aris, maybe their relationship could be closer. He can feel the embrace and kindness of Tini's mother as a substitute for her biological mother.


"When are you coming home? There's no you, I'm lonely, son."


"So morning, Mom. Niar is only given permission one day last night, tomorrow morning must leave again," replied Niar.


"Yes Ma'am, but Niar wants to find a job with a decent salary so he can help pay off the father's debt. Oh yes Ma'am, Niar wants to pay off. There's still a little bit of nothing, Mom. Next month if Niar receives another salary, God willing, Niar pay it all."


"Niar, if there is nothing. I still have a handle."


"I'm prepared for it, ma'am." Niar took the money in his pocket, then gave the money to Tini's mother.


"Thank you, Mom. Sorry if Niar's family often ngerepotin Mother," said Niar.


"Together Son, in any case soon our relationship is getting closer. 2 months later Aris plans to sleep with Nesva," said Tini ma'am told.


"Norgin .... " Aris appears behind Tini's mother, after parking the car into a carport next to the house.


"Sir Aris." Niar stared at the young man for a moment. The young man whom he so longed for in silence, happy and sad to meet Aris. He hides the wound when Tini's mother informs him that Aris's relationship with Nesva will continue to a more serious level. Wounded but bloodless, hearing the young man was about to propose to his brother. Which means he has no hope anymore. The more real their relationship distance is only limited to brother-in-law.


"One month no see you, you change yes. I was sampling pangling, barely knowing you," Aris said.


"I'm the same, brother," replied Niar.


"Your face is more fress. You're fattening too,"


"Does it, brother? I still feel like I usually do. But in the new workplace quite stiff, not so to my energy porsir. Just relax, let's."


"It's good that you're hard at your workplace. Even if you work well, but you have to be careful. You work in the city, surely the atmosphere is different in the village. Don't go far, or go somewhere you don't know. In the city not everyone cares about the circumstances around, you should be able to take good care of yourself" Aris said.


"Yes, Brother, I'll take Brother's words. Thank you for caring for advice," Niar replied with a smile.


"I care about you because soon you'll be my sister-in-law."


Deg ...


Aris' words broke the fluffy smile from those ripe lips. Now slowly Niar's smile fades, as well as the happiness felt a few seconds ago must be thrown away. He is forced back on the fact that Aris is his future sister-in-law. A reality that hurts more than the mockery of her mother and sister last time.
