I'm The Actor
Chapters. 5

Gea looked dumbstruck in her mother's nursery. He had asked Nathalia for time to think about it first. He does not want to make a decision. He was confused as to what decision to make.

Actually, the offer sounds so tempting. However, he did not want to be the cause of the destruction of one's household. He doesn't want to be an actor. He fears you with his own actions.

Especially, his family was destroyed because of a third person who is now better known by the term actor. Even though it was not purely the fault of the woman who entered the household of her parents and took her father. For without his father's contribution, no matter how the actor tries, wants to turn the heavens into the earth, the earth into the sky, all will never happen. Her parents' household won't crumble and run aground.

Due to her father's weak faith, her father falls for the wiles of the female fox. For the sake of a widow, her father had the heart to double her mother and abandon her. His mother's heart ached, even as a child was disappointed. His father was his first love, but his first love broke his heart into tiny fragments that could be blown away at any moment.

And now, he was offered to be an actor. Something he hated so much that he got to the bone marrow. Gea chuckled discordantly. Feeling funny, the actor has now penetrated into a job. Said people don't need higher education to be an actor, which is important itch.

Itching is in the scratch, not being an actor. Anyway, how to be an actor, teasing a guy he never. His entire life was only dedicated to finding rupiah coffers. Both to meet the needs of him and his mother, as well as for the treatment of his mother. Where there he was close to the man of one man. During school there were many men who tried flirting with him, but none of them responded. According to him, knitting love with the opposite sex will only waste his time, draining his concentration both in terms of learning and work, making him ignore his duties and responsibilities as a child.

Hah, what an idelic mindset!

While daydreaming, Gea suddenly remembered not asking permission from the owner of the minimarket where he worked. He immediately said goodbye to his mother who was still lying weak to ask permission for a few days to his superiors. Though inwardly, he has been pessimistic will be allowed. Not only was it not allowed, but it was likely that he would be dismissed. However, it should not be impolite. He entered the place well. Mrs Ratih took it well. To ask for permission, you have to do well. Even if he finally had to be dismissed from the place, he had to meet with the owner well. He does not want to be branded employees do not know themselves because they come out without notice or just mince words.

"Be careful, nduk!" said Gea's mother.

Really he was concerned to see his daughter had to be pounding bones every day for his sake. Why should this disease eat away at his body. Already his life suffered because of the husband left, now must lie weak helpless because of his disease that is difficult to recover. Yes, it's hard to recover, not impossible. If he had a lot of money, of course he would easily seek treatment when the beginning of the disease stopped in his body. However, the limited cost, making it often neglect to seek treatment. As a result, the disease is getting worse making Gea had to slam bones during the night for the cost of treatment. What a pity the fate of his little girl.

"Yes, Mom. Well, then, Gea go first, Mom. Assalamu'alaikum" said Gea who still tried to smile widely.

"Wa'alaikum salam, nduk," said Gea's mother as she looked at the back of her little girl who was so tough facing various kinds of trials of her life.

"Ta, is there Mrs Ratih?" ask Gea to Lita who is putting together a new product in the storefront. The new products are organized according to their category to make it easier for customers to find the items they want. Prices are also taped clearly to prevent buyers from feeling cheated because sometimes there is a minimarket that originally attached the price. If the price of the goods when paid is much cheaper, they are okay, but if it becomes more expensive, they will definitely protest and get angry. And the first time will be sprayed of course the cashier section.

"There was. It's inside" said Lita who had stopped her work. "Do you want to go straight to work or what?" ask Lita.

"Not yet, my mother is in the hospital and her condition is still unstable so she can't go home. So I want permission first," said Gea, who is possessed by Lita.

"Hush, can't say that! It was heard by Ratih ma'am, it could be the length of his business," Gea's sergeant made Lita grin wide.

After that, Gea immediately passed to Bu Ratih's room. After knocking on the door and saying his greetings, he was allowed to enter the room of Mrs Ratih.

Gea looked rattled as Bu Ratih looked at her with an indecipherable look.

"What's Gea? What do you want to say?" tanya Bu Ratih is flat with both hands crossed in front of the chest.

"This is Mom, I .. I want to ask permission for a few days because my mother .. my mother has a relapse so .. she must get treatment in the hospital," said Gea stammered to make Bu Ratih sigh long.

"Ge, I don't want to be cruel to you, do I. But ... You know for yourself our minimarket employees are only 6 people with shift changes 3-3. 2 cashiers, 2 employees. And if you often do not go to work, pity your other colleagues. The three working kalia just like the meter if it is crowded, especially if you often enter the gini," said Bu Ratih patiently made Gea bowed lethargic. He warned that this would happen. So he is ready to be born and inner. Whether this was pessimistic or optimistic, for sure he really understood the meaning of the words of Mrs Ratih.

"I'm sorry ma'am for not being able to work so well all this time. And thank you for all the kindness my mother has received me here. Then please resign. Assalamu'alaikum," said Gea while smiling resignedly and sincerely.

"Wa'alaikum salam. But wait for Gea, "panggi Bu Ratih while taking something from inside the drawer. "This, take it," he added, thrusting out a brown envelope that Gea knew full well what it contained.

"This ... "

"Well that's your severance during your time working here. I pray that your mother will recover from her pain. The spirit of a beautiful child. You're a good girl. God willing happiness will soon come to you," said Mrs Ratih while wiping the long mane of Gea.

Gea's eyes are heating up. A speck of clear grain fell from his eye patch. He was moved by the kindness of Mrs Ratih. Even though he is often chatty and ketus, actually Ratih ma'am is very good. Here's proof. Though only a few days ago he earned his salary, but today he has earned a salary instead of severance as Bu Ratih said.

After bidding farewell with Bu Ratih and Lita and another colleague, Gea rushed to find public transportation to return to the hospital. Just as Gea set foot on the sidewalk, suddenly her phone rang loudly. The call turned out to be from a hospital that reported that his mother was back critically. Gea's legs suddenly sagged like jelly. But he tried his hardest to stand up and immediately returned to the hospital. His mother's condition was weak. The drugs needed are more and more and the price is not cheap. His head was suddenly dizzy to imagine where he got that much money because he was sure the cost of his mother's treatment would swell, while his savings alone was no longer much.

'What else is this, Lord?' the Gea in the heart.
