Today Mar woke up earlier than usual, she had to finish her homework, before seven in the morning, cook for her children's lunch and have her husband go to work.
At exactly 6 am, Ana wakes up and is astonished to see her mother washing clothes.
"Ma...How early in the morning Mama has washed, usually at this time Mama is still cooking breakfast?"
Ana asked standing behind her mother.
"Yes, Mama's working today so everything has to be done before Mama goes to work, Ana wants to take a shower? wait a minute, or Ana has breakfast first, Mama takes a little more responsibility"
Mar replied that his hands were getting more agile brushing dirty clothes, because he knew the bathroom would be used by the Children and her husband.
Ana walks towards the dining table, a simple lunch menu is finished under the hood, and this morning a large bowl of fried rice is available, complete with cassava crackers and a large pot of sweet tea.
Ana sat down, then looked back at Mar, who was getting rid of a large bucket of clothes she had finished washing,
Mar approached Ana, carrying a pile of plates and spoons.
Along with that, As and all his other sons got up and headed for the kitchen.
As rushed in first to the bathroom that was empty, empty,
While the Fourth Child headed for the long bench made by As in front of the dining table.
"Just wash your face, son, keep eating breakfast.."
Mar handed out plates to each of his children.
Commanded by Ana, her four sisters washed their faces and gargled and then returned to the dinner table for breakfast.
All Maryati Children are taught to always be grateful for what is in front of them, including about what they eat, it makes the five children never chatty and picky food, he said, what Mar prepared was always them eating voraciously without comment.
Mar poured tea on the glasses of each of his sons. They eat very orderly, and run out in less than 15 minutes.
Mar rushed into the room, prepared all the needs of her husband, until when her husband entered the room, he no longer needed to find clothes because Mar had prepared it neatly on the table beside his bed.
Mar was tidying up the bed, stacking pillows and folding blankets.
"Ma..you started work today?"
Ask As.
"Yes Pa..."
Answer Mar who is now holding a broom preparing to sweep his house.
"I hope you don't come home late in the afternoon, I want you home, it's tidy and All the Kids are in the shower when I get home!"
The As is a command to be obeyed by Mar.
"Yes Pa, I'm home by noon"
Mar replied smiling.
"Good, may I come back as before, that you may take care of Me 24 hours only, Son and house"
Said As again.
"Yuk breakfast,"
Mar left her broom behind the door, then took her husband's hand to the dining table, she understood the habit of her husband who always wanted to be accompanied when eating.
After As breakfast, he went to work pedaling his bike, while the three daughters had also left for school.
It's time to take a shower and get ready.
With his two sons together, Mar walks to his parents' house to leave Win and Hen.
"Mom, sorry I nitip them both, Noon after Zuhur maybe I go home, hopefully sooner"
Said Mar who was actually not tasty back troublesome his parents.
"Do not worry Mar, do not hesitate.just leave these two children is not a problem.do not make this a burden on your mind yes..."
Masning patted his daughter's shoulder.
"Thank you, I'll say yes..."
Maryati rushed to Mother Marni's house, deliberately she chose Mother Marni's House first because of her more duties than Mother Yeyen's house.
"Assalamualaikum Ma'am,"
Sapa Mar when he arrived in front of Marni's mother's house.
"Greetings Mar., early in the morning?"
"Yes ma'am, after this I still have to wash somewhere else,"
Reply Mar, which leaves Mother Marni dumbfounded.
Mar wiped his sweat, and taking a glass of cold water from Mother Marni's fridge, he sat down for a moment to rest and gulped down a glass of cold water in his hand.
"Alhamdulillah.completed, "
Mar said softly and prepared to go to Mother Yeyen's house.
Marni's mother has left for work, this big house is only left behind an old Grandma, Mother Marni.
"Grandmother, I'm done, I'm going home..."
Mar met Old Grandma who was sunbathing on the terrace of Mother Marni's house.
"Oh yes, thank you.."
Answer The Grandma.
Very quickly Mar left Miss Marni's house to Bu Yeyen's house.
Mar had gathered his strength back to start fighting the mountain laundry that had awaited him.
As if tireless, Mar immediately headed to the bathroom when he reached Bu Yeyen's house, he began to brush, he began to brush, rubbing clothes that are much more and dirtier than the clothes in the house of Miss Marni.
Almost noon, Mar finished and he managed to finish his work before Zuhur as he promised Masning earlier.
"Mom, I'm done, I want to go home."
"Oh.yeah, please thank you very much yes..."
Answer Bu Yeyen.
Mar walked speeding, he wanted to get to his parents' house to pick up his two sons, he was afraid his parents could not rest because both sons were noisy.
"Assynoltom..."
"Galammum salamm"
Answer Masning,.
"Yes....Mama pick you up, Nyai we want to go home ...!"
Win cried, kissing Masing's hand which Hen followed from behind.
"Tomorrow here again...Nyai wait.!"
Masning returned his grandson's hand as he left his home.
"Thank you, Mama,"
Mar took the hands of his two sons and walked towards his contract by not forgetting to invite his Son to hum happily.
Arriving at home, Mar immediately washed his face, cleaned himself and did not forget to perform his prayers.
"Win, Hen...Eat yuk.."
Invite those who already feel really hungry due to energy drained after three washings in a time that is only a few hours long.
Hen shook his head,
"Why.loh?"
Mar asked in wonder then approached his two children who were playing cars.
"We had eaten Ma.sama Nyai, his side dishes are many Ma, pake Fish, fried tempeh, delicious vegetables deh Ma..."
Chant Win made Mar's heart sad,
Not because the child had eaten, but when staring at the face of Win who sumringah when telling about the complete side dish they had just eaten at their Grandma's house.
Seen their longing for delicious food that they have not eaten for a long time.
"Patience yes dear.later if your Papa payday, Mama Will cook a lot of delicious food, not like now that is not far from soy sauce, crackers and salted fish"
Inner Mar.
"Assynoltom..."
The three princesses were returning home from school, their tired faces looking increasingly clear as sweat dots flooded their foreheads.
"Uuh...Girls Mama's gone home, Come on hunt change clothes, wash feet with hands and we eat yuk, Mama is hungry..."
Said Mar stroking his stomach in front of his children.
Ana smiled, and rushed according to her mother's orders.
This afternoon, the four of them ate together with a makeshift menu, mar's tired face vanished seeing his three daughters who were so greedy interspersed with their small laughs when the occasional story about their activities at school tucked in between the lunch event that so feels very special.
