Love Can, But Don't Be Stupid...
New Job

After the return of Rendra who stopped by for a while at his house, Mama Amel looked very agitated. The time of the agreement with Ms. Arini is approaching. But he has not yet pocketed the money to pay his installments. Yes, all is wrong that can not use the money sent by his son wisely. Especially with the disaster he had just experienced. But, now was not the time to regret all the circumstances he was currently going through. All because of mistakes he made himself. But Mama Amel's brain isn't quite open enough if everything she's going through right now is purely her own fault. He kept looking for the scapegoat to justify all his deeds.

"Damn! How do I pay the installments to Ms Arini? Want to put where my face if I can not pay the installments and the items are pulled," muttered Mama Amel lirih while walking back and forth in the living room of her house.

Not long after, Arya came home. I don't know where she is, which obviously he was surprised to see the behavior of the mother.

"Why is Mama pacing back and forth like that ironing kayak?" asked Arya when she saw the Mama who was pacing back and forth. Moreover, there was a koyo patch on his forehead, adding to the aroma of the old man strengthening within his mother. Less aroma of oil rub alone, let more afdol.

Mama Amel clucking. "I'm confused you know, Ar! Tomorrow, Ms. Arini comes to take the installment. If Mama can not pay, the sofa and tivi Mama will be taken again." lamented to Arya hope if the son of his pride can give him a solution in order to get out of the installment problem.

But Arya even looks very relaxed, he walked grubby, then sat himself on the sofa. His mother's restless school was not something meaningful.

"How do you relax, Ar?" mama Amel asked annoyed when she saw the reaction of her son who looked very relaxed.

"Well, what should Arya do? Should it be koprol? Kan Arya has said, Mama sells a lot of Mama's jewelry."

Mom Amel frowned when she heard Arya's words. He doesn't think of it as a solution. But he felt heavy if he had to sell the jewelry that he loved so much. As long as there is another way, Mama Amel will take it. He was very unwilling if he had to sell his gold deposits.

"But.... "

"Your mother tried to ask money to Mbak Kiki same Mas Rendra. Where else can you get money from besides them?"

"Maybe... "

"No way Mama will borrow money again, it will not solve the problem but instead add to the problem, Ma! Or if you say yes, just tivi same sofa to Bu Arini."

"Have a son! Where's Mama's face going to be?" mama Amel was upset.

The woman could not imagine how embarrassed she would be when the items she had been arrogant about were pulled back by the lender. Not to mention when he gets the arisan, then his friends who will come to his house then there is no sofa and tivi expensive. Hah, Mama Amel really can't imagine that.

"already,MA. Sell the gold, it's advice from Arya anyway. If you want to follow thank you, if not it's up to Mama."

Unfortunately, everything Arya said was true and there was no way out anymore. Finally Mama Amel agreed to Arya's advice rather than her later feeling ashamed of her friends.

Then he will be more ashamed.

"So Rendra's here!"

"Continue?"

"You take it, the job from Rendra's office. Than you're not doing anything."

Mama Amel began to launch her seduction. Later if Arya works, the man can give half of his salary, so Mama Amel will not be confused and dizzy again thinking about next month's installments.

"Taste is Arya an OB, Ma? Couldn't Mas Rendra do better? Aren't you ashamed that his sister worked as an OB in his office?" arya asked while hitting the sofa cushion beside her in annoyance.

Mama Amel hit Arya on the head in annoyance. Now is not the time to choose a job. Moreover, nowadays it is very difficult to get a job.

"You think it's your brother's company? If there's a vacancy just to be an OB, what can Rendra do, Ar?"

"Yes, but the prestige of Ma. Cook the work so OB. My job was far above it. Is it OB now?"

"Eat the prestige! Can you buy rice? Make your stomach full. There's no other choice, you just have to accept the job." Mama Amel said upset and then waltzed to leave her favorite son who was still careless.

Mama Amel does not care about Arya's feelings, what she thinks is how to get money to connect and pay installments.

Not long after, Mama Amel went to pawn his gold stash, but it had to be late in the afternoon and the pawnshop office was still open. Because of fear of copetting again, then Mama Amel ask help to the neighbors to want to deliver it, of course in return. Think of it as almsgiving to someone in need.

All night, Mama Amel ignores Arya. He considers Arya like a creature that is invisible. Even she cooked dinner just for herself without thinking about Arya.

Mama Amel was enjoying her breakfast when Arya came out of the room in neat and fragrant clothes. He only glimpsed Arya. It was as if he no longer cared about Arya.

"Arya's going to Mas Rendra's office. We need food for our daily lives. Than Arya continues to be unemployed, right?"

Mama Amel smiled widely and then got up from her seat.

"Breakfast first, Ar. This Mama has prepared a special fried rice for you" said Mama Amel while offering a plate of fried rice made by her that she had enjoyed earlier.

Arya rolled her eyes lazily. "She said specifically for Arya? How did Mom eat that?"

"Eh, Mama just ngicipin! It feels right not." said Mama Amel.

Arya stared at the fried rice that was half that, she was very sure that her mother was lying. But he's too hungry because he didn't have dinner last night. Finally, he grabbed the plate that his mother was thrusting. Not bad, count his stomach this morning.

"Ongkos," said Mama Amel while slipping money into the pocket of Arya's clothes.

"Mama is the most understanding!"

After a few hours, Ms. Arini came to take the installment money along with interest on late payment when Mama Amel was busy dancing zumba in the living room following the movement of sports presenters on TV.

Dor....

Dor....

Dor.....

"Mrs Amel.... Ms. Amel." cried Ms. Arini calling while banging on the door of Mama Amel's house. It looks very impatient, because it has been calling from earlier but the owner of the house has not come out as well.

Finally, Ms. Arini peeked out of the window and found that Mama Amel was dancing zumba with a very loud voice.

"Amelite.... Amel!" call Bu Arini in a very loud voice.

"Wait!" mama Amel answered while shouting and turning off the television.

Mama Amel rushed out to open the door, not to let the door collapse because of the woman.

"You want to knock down my door?" mama Amel asked with a fierce face.

"Ck.your own fault. Why is it called daritadi not out! Is this not welcome to enter?"

"Oh, yes. Let's get in!"

Mama Amel invited Arini to come into the house and let her sit down. Then the woman went to the kitchen and picked up the orange-flavored cold drink she had prepared in the refrigerator.

"Oh, Miss Amel knows that my throat is dry from the yelling."

Either the words of Ms. Arini are satire or praise for Mama Amel. But clearly, Mama Amel did not care about it.

"So what business are you here for?" mama Amel asked when Ms. Arini had finished her drink.

"It turns out that exercise doesn't make your memory strong! Now is the time to pay the tivi installment with the sofa!" said Ms. Arini while looking at Mama Amel from top to bottom.

Mama Amel of course still remembers with the installment that is due. It's just that he hoped that Ms. Arini would forget. It is true that money matters cannot be forgotten.

"I'm just kidding, Mom! Oh, I'll get the money!" mama Amel said as she chuckled and rubbed her nape." Relax, I've prepared the money even I've prepared for three months at a time!"

Bu Arini's face immediately sparkled when he heard that he would get more money than the amount he charged. Without waiting for long, Mama Amel immediately went into the room to get the installment money.

"This is Mom, the money." said Mama Amel to Ms. Arini while handing over some of the money.

"Well, the money's just like this? Not wrong?" bu Arini protest when the money received was only for this one month installment.

"Looooh, isn't one month really that much?"

"You said yourself that you have prepared the money for three months! Where's the fine money?"

"And I'm just saying I've prepared the installment money for three months. I didn't say I'd pay for three months?"

"Huh, I didn't ask that! You pay for this month plus the fine, don't forget and don't squint anymore!! If I take less now also tivi and your sofa right now!"

"Ck. Is that what sewot is? Here's money!"

Sreeet....

Ms. Arini pulled the red and blue sheets from Mama Amel's hand.

"Remember!!! Not ahead don't be late again!! I'll come according to the pay date. Be careful, do not be late because I will not hesitate to pull all the items you have taken from my sale!!" ma'am Arini warned.

Ms. Arini then left Mama Amel with her cooking face because she had failed to get a three-month installment injection at once.

"Hahah! Basic leeches, if not because I am forced not to take your expensive selling goods exorbitant. Early in the morning, it spills!"

Braaakkkk

Mama Amel closed the door of her house tightly.
