7. First salary for the family

Early in the morning Nia was awake and getting ready to go home to her hometown in Bogor.

"La, I'm leaving first!" Pamit Nia on Laila who's still sleeping.

"Heem.. You be careful" replied Laila with eyes still closed.

At six in the morning Nia was out of her contract.

Nia deliberately left early in the morning, so she quickly arrived and met her family.

Nia took public transport to arrive at the train station.

Trains became a favorite transportation for Nia.

After an hour in the train, Nia arrived at her destination station and returned to public transport to reach her home.

Nia smiled happily when she arrived in front of her house.

"Assynolajet. Mom, Mother... Nia's home." Nia said as she entered the house.

Several times Nia called the mother, but there was no answer.

"Sir Nia" said the two girls who emerged from the room and immediately embraced Nia.

Nia hugged her two sisters.

Her name is Aulia and Fitri.

"Sir Nia, why don't you tell me you want to go home." Said her biggest sister.

"Yes, I wanted to make a surprise on purpose. Where's Mom at, by the way?" Ask Nia.

"Mom hasn't come home yet. Still working at Arum's house." Reply Youngest sister Nia.

"Yes, then. Have you eaten yet?" Ask Nia.

"No, at home there is only white rice. Usually we eat after mom comes home because mom will bring the side dishes from Bu Arum's house." Aulia.

"What do you want to eat? Let Kaka masakin."

"I want krispi chicken, rich in commercials." Rengek Fitri Nia's youngest sister.

Indeed, for the Nia family, luxury food is rarely obtained.

How not, Nia's mother raised her four children just from Being a Household Assistant at the house of a photographer in her village.

"Then you change your clothes. We're going to the market now!." Said Nia who was greeted enthusiastically by her two younger siblings.

Nia and her sisters took public transportation to get to the market.

Nia took her sisters to a clothing store.

"What are we doing here, brother?" Ask Aulia.

"You want to buy clothes for you. You choose what you like."

Excitedly, Aulia Dan Fitri went around the store looking for clothes they liked.

While Nia just follows them while looking for a negligee for mom, and a shirt for her younger brother Johan.

Both of his sisters were already holding the clothes they liked.

And Nia took a flannel shirt for Johan.

Nia immediately paid for the clothes they took and went to the place of vegetables and fish.

Nia also did not forget to buy some types of vegetables and fish to cook tomorrow.

Nia was shopping quite a lot.

Until both hands are busy carrying their groceries.

After returning to the house Nia immediately processed the materials she had bought.

In order to make her loved ones happy, Nia forgot her tiredness from traveling Jakarta - Bogor.

Nia is busy cooking. His two sisters were so enthusiastic about trying on the clothes he had just bought.

Nia was happy with what she had just done.

A plate full of chicken and vegetable Sop has been served on the kitchen table.

"You eat first." Tell Nia to her two sisters who are staring at the results of her food.

"But I haven't come home yet."

"Let's let Kaka who accompanied mom eat" said Nia

Both of Nia's sisters immediately ate with her heart.

"When are you coming, Neng?" Said Miss Salma Mother Nia who just arrived.

"Mother." Nia who realized the arrival of the mother immediately greeted and hugged her.

"It's until nine. Nia deliberately departs early in the morning from Jakarta." She answered him politely.

"Mom eat first. I must be tired of it." Nia scoops rice for her mother.

"You eat Neng too." Tell Mother.

"Yes Ma'am, Nia also ate" Nia took the rice for herself.

"Why didn't the chicken get eaten?" Nia asked when she saw her mother only ate with Sop vegetables.

"This is enough. Let the chicken make your brothers eat later in the afternoon." Answer Mother.

Nia's heart was like sliced.

Since long ago, since Nia's father left the mother only attach importance to her children.

Working hard alone for the sake of his four children can stay in school.

"Nia's got something for mom" Nia gave me a red plastic package.

Ms. Salma slowly opened the package.

And two negligent dasters of calm color were already in front of him.

"Why buy mom all clothes. Your money will run out" said Ms. Salma.

"It's okay Mom. This is nothing compared to the sacrifice of mother for Nia, and also the sisters." Answer Nia a little glazed.

"Later in the afternoon I'll wear it!" Tell Nia.

"Yes Neng. I'll wear it." Answer Miss Salma.
