I SELL MY BABY FOR NEW MOTORBIKE bab16 by widi nugriati

erin agreed to pay for the ardi shop with their savings and the rest in installments within 2 years, glad her wish would be realized even though she had to save for two years

"gold tomorrow we clean that stall!"

"yes the deck said ardi there is still 6 meters of land we can make one room and bathroom and we do not have to contract anymore"

"yes mas easily we can wake up soon even though it is small but it is already ours.

The day keeps changing and the moon keeps going

two years seemed to pass so quickly

erin and Wanto have occupied their small stalls even a week ago they have paid off the purchase of stalls that have now become their residence erin and wino live quiet and happy until one day there shocking news from erin's hometown that her brother died erin was preparing to return home but he did not come along for work reasons erin afternoon arrived home.

"actually what happened to brother ma?"

"your branch was in an accident when her motorbike was hit from behind"

"erin cried next to his brother's body shortly after the coffin was closed and taken to the cemetery to be buried , according to mama, the condition of my brother's body is not intact anymore, therefore the body was included in the coffin . Among the mourners who came looking aris my ex-boyfriend also helped in the funeral bang erik because aris was a friend of the game since Junior High .

I've been at my mom's house for two days and I feel like nothing has changed from this house even though I haven't been home for 3 years ,sometimes I feel sorry for mama at an old age doing anything on her own let alone papa cough sound sometimes makes me pity anyway economically they are not lacking with a fairly selling sembako stall in the world our residence.

"erin again cook what you want"

"soup for lunch ma"

"does it look good"

"do you take a moment, ma erin?"

mom sat in the dining room waiting for me to pick up some chicken soup

"erin you better go home and stay here you continue the mama's stall"

"this is ma's soup"

while eating soup that I made mama seems to be hoping that I can stay here again because mama does not know that I am married and live independently with Wanto.

"ma I want to call mbak as first all want to ingetin rice box for yasinan ntar malem"

"yes erin "

****

Tonight tonight tahlilan 3 days of death bang erik I saw aris present among the guests who also prayed in the event he also shared rice box ,until the show was over he approached me and asked me how I was told by the news until now he was not married.

"yes, maybe tomorrow afternoon!"

"don't wait 7 days"

"no, I have to work" I lied to cover up that I was actually married and didn't want to leave my husband and my business too long

"erin marry me"

deg I was shocked to hear the word aris until now he still hopes I become his wife, actually I am ashamed of him because during our courtship we have done things that are forbidden even repeatedly.

"we can't have any relationship anymore!"

"erin are you no longer feeling for me?"

"sorry mas, I'm so sorry I had to go back and clean the used glass of drinking earlier."

I'm going back just to excuse Aris , I see him so disappointed with my decision that I still have a little taste of him but I ignore that I prefer my husband's saint even though he is not as rich as aris but there are too many sweet things and bitter we went together.

This afternoon I will go back to Jakarta before leaving I frankly told papa mama that I am married maybe in the near future I will bring it to the presence of papa mama.

mama papa prayed for me and my efforts to be smooth always with mas wanto ,but I don't want to tell my distress all this time especially about my baby that I sold because I didn't have the money to take care of him a few years ago, I went to Jakarta with tears.

at dawn mas wanto had picked me up at the bus terminal only 10 minutes to our house ,more precisely the stall as well as the residence because the size is very narrow front for fried sales there is one bedroom and a hallway used for cooking and in the back there is a makeshift bathroom every day Erin sells rice sitting in the morning and also coffee and warm drinks.

erin immediately entered the house and did homework, making breakfast for the lady.

"this is your breakfast mas "seru erin while cleaning the clothes of Wanto who some days have not been washed.

"kalo still tired of rest first do not think about selling"

"yes mas but dear if the rest later in the afternoon I was shopping for materials after you work"

" it's up to you to the deck, and by the way, how did your papa mama react when we said we were married?"

"it's a surprise because I never told you but in the near future we'll see mommy?"

"yes if I have time off" while wearing a jacket and a helem preparing to leave for work.

willo had gone to work roaring his motorbike was no longer heard anymore erin always prayed in his heart for the safety of her husband .

after the tiny house is neat and the work is done erin put her body on the mattress to rest.
