"It's still a little less"

"Mom, I'm sorry if I can pay this first, the rest will I pay later in the day, I'm less money"
Doubtfully As handed over a bundle of money in his hands.

"Okay sir, it's okay, I take it first"
"Alhamdulillah, thank you Miss Midwife..Excuse me"

Seeing As coming, Mar sat down.
"How's Pa?"

"It's still a little less Ma...Did I borrow it from Sister Husna?"
As sighed while thinking hard.
"Don't Pa, shame.Papa should go home now.. Papa remembers at the market that my friend opened a junk and second-hand stall,"
As seemed confused to hear Mar's words just now.
"What does this have to do with our lack of money? did you ask me to borrow money there?"
As asked did not understand Mar's intentions.
"Don't Pa, he's gonna take our stuff?"
connect Mar.
"meaning?"
As is getting clueless.
"Pa, at home there's a dozen plates, some sheets of cloth and a wall clock, you wrap them up and sell them."

As gulped, his heart ached considering the destiny of life was playing its part, he said,
"O Allah, Ma, as our fate may be.Even for your childbirth I cannot afford to pay, even we have to sell goods as now"
He gripped her hair in annoyance.
Mar did not answer, he tried to strengthen his heart to accept everything he had to accept with sincerity and airy chest.
As left Mar's room, with a painful feeling he walked home.
Arriving home, did not waste time immediately obey the orders of Mar, lowering the wall clock hanging on one of the walls of his house, looking for dishes, and some sheets of cloth Mar referred to.
His children who watched As approached.
"Pa.want to be flanked by those things?"
Ana asked, while her other child just silently watched.
"Papa want to sell, um.then if Papa works again we buy again yes.."
No answer from the mouths of his children.

As managed to find a friend Mar's stall selling used goods, after chime the price of all the goods brought by As sold, quickly As back pedaling his old bicycle to the Midwife clinic where Mar gave birth.
Sweat on the forehead and neck of As, not only that, the clothes he was wearing also look wet in some parts.
His breathing was still gnawing when he arrived in front of the clinic, after parking his old bicycle, As hurriedly entered and met the guard Midwife to pay off Mar's labor costs, in order to quickly return home reunited with his five children.
"Excuse Mum Midwife, I'd like to pay off the remaining lack of cost of giving birth to My Wife.."
"Well Sir...."
"Is my wife allowed to go home, Midwife?"
"Oh yes sir.have been able to go home.please sir"
"Thank you, Midwife"
As rushed to meet Mar who was breastfeeding her plump baby.
"Where's Pa?"
Ask Mar quickly.
"Alhamdulillah, it's done all Ma, here's the rest of the money selling those things!"
As handed some money sheets to Mar.
"Oh thank God, means now I can go home Pa?"
Ask Mar again.
"Yes, wait a minute let me clean up all the equipment"

Bu Midwife's message was responded by a nod by Mar and As along with a smile.
When we get to the front,
"Ma.wait a minute...I'll find a rickshaw first"
