Grasping
Part 8's
Mr. Bejo, Sumiati and Nesva have returned with Aris. Now Niar himself is standing in front of the hospital road waiting for his online ojek order.
The woman chose to sit on an empty bench not far from where she was standing. Enjoying the afternoon sky with a crowded vehicle passing by.
Brakes
Niar's eyes were startled by the sight of a four-wheeler stopping right in front of him. A sexy woman shut the car door hard. From the other door came a handsome man and chased after the woman. "Darling, wait! that's not my max. Please listen to me!" the man chanted after the steps of the woman in front of him.
"Morely Yhusa? I'm tired of you holding me back, you're banning this and that. You know I was a model, my career was at the top. Don't tell me to quit the entertainment world. Because I won't stop!"
"Sheli, it's about my parents' request. They're demanding that we do a child program right away. Please understand" said the man, blocking the woman's hand.
"You forgot before we committed to marriage, has there been a promise between us?"
"I remember, Shel," replied the man as if thinking.
"If you remember, we should have continued our plan to the end. Until I'm satisfied with success and we'll be happy to have children."
"But it's not just my parents' wishes, right now I want it Shel. I want a child."
"But I don't, Yhusa! I'm not ready to have a child which means I have to leave my modeling world!"
The two men's quarrel still continues, Niar who accidentally heard their debate looks uncomfortable but can not avoid because there he made an appointment with an online motorcycle taxi. If he goes, then the online ojek will not know his whereabouts.
"If you wish to have children now, I will allow you to have children from the womb of another woman" said Sheli.
"Don't be crazy, Shel. I just want a child from your womb, not another woman!" Yhusa refused firmly.
"Astagfirullah hal'adzim ... " Niar beristigfar. It was really difficult to hear their discussions. "Sorry, Ma'am, Mas .. This is a public place, please keep your voice down. It seems inappropriate to discuss personal matters on the streets, there will be others thinking negative things about you" Niar told two people who were arguing earlier.
Yhusa and Sheli turned towards Niar. Sheli made a voice to answer. "May not interfere. If you don't like to hear our debate, please leave!" sheli said with a ketus.
Niar looked at Sheli for a while, exhaling a long breath to muffle the growl and then chose to leave from where he was sitting. Niar slightly moved away with a soft nag along his steps. "Basic strange couple! crouch in the middle of the road. Thought this street belonged to his ancestors sometime huh, so be as it pleased yourself." Niar shook his head in astonishment.

The online object that was ordered stopped in front of his house. Niar went down and gave some money to the driver, after which he walked into the house.
When he came to the kitchen, he met Nesva. "The train forgot its way home. Foolish girls like you are usually weak in memory," said Nesva.
"What do you mean filial? Just a laundry salary that is only 700 thousand a month!" nesva Sentak.
"If it's only 700 thousand, in fact, the kitchen money shopping my salary. Salary brother don't know where?" Niar looked at Nesva with annoyance.
Nesva didn't want to lose, the girl turned to stare. "Eh, I need a lot. I need treatment to the salon, need to buy new clothes to the office! While you! ngaca! my face is like an undead, horrible! My job is meeting important people so my appearance has to be perfect. Not like you! I am proud to work in laundry!" Nesva said ketus.
"Eh–eh, what's going on? Baby, why?" ask Sumiati to her beloved daughter.
"Niar why I'm not filial, ma'am. He said I didn't give my salary to Mom ... You know, my job requires perfect looks. I have to be good at keeping up appearances. And I know where Nesva's salary money goes, because every month I have to go to the salon, buy new clothes so my boss feels at home looking at me and I can rise to office" Nesva told Sumiati.
"Niar, that's right!" sentak Sumiati's.
"Originally you know! although Nesva never gave money to Mom, but Mom was proud of Nesva's work, she worked in the office. While you only work in a small laundry place. You know, if Nesva can raise the position of salary one year already can buy a house. Yeah, no, honey?" after snapping at Niar, at the end of the sentence Sumiati turned to ask Nesva gently.
"Yes Ma'am, that's right," replied Nesva smiling mockingly towards Niar.
Both corners of Niar's eyes had been covered in tears. Being humiliated like that was not the first time, but almost every day her mother and sister groaned without mercy.
Once, Mom defended Niar. I'm your daughter too, you're never proud of me.
Niar was silent, answering them was meaningless. Only beristigfar in the heart trying to dampen emotions.
"Let's go ahead. I was furious to talk to your sister, carrying her hand Mother Gatel wanted to hit her," said Sumiati glanced cynically.
"Yes ma'am, he's stupid but he's dumb!" nesva Sahut.
After his mother and brother left, Niar sat on a wooden chair. The tears that are being held are now spilling over both of his cheeks. "Oh my God, when is this? To this day, they do not accept my presence. Give me a way out of this house. I want to find my happiness, Lord."
"Niar ... !" Not long after Niar complained to His Lord, Nesva's voice was heard calling. The girl immediately cleaned up the rest of her tears and immediately walked over to the front room.
When Niar came from the kitchen door, Nesva had given him the order to make a drink for the guests who came. Tini and Aris' mother came to ask about Bejo's condition. Niar returned to the kitchen to make a drink.
Staring briefly with Aris was able to make Niar's heart beat fast. He admired Aris in silence. But the girl did not have much hope, it was very difficult to reach a man like Aris. The limited scope made Niar not very familiar with other youths. There were some youths from his complex who were the same age as him but none were able to make Niar turn away from Aris.
Niar brought two cups of tea in front of Aris and her mother. Niar greets kindly before Sumiati tells Niar to cook for dinner. The girl stepped back and went back to the kitchen.
