My Son Is My Strength

My Son Is My Strength
First Order


After taking photos and getting interesting pictures, Arini and Arumi began to upload the images on their respective social media.


A few minutes later, Arumi received a notification from her phone. He picked up his phone and started checking the notification that just came in. And how happy and surprised Arumi get the notification, which is none other than the notification of the person who ordered their cake.


"Sister.. sis...." Call Arumi while gently hitting the big brother's arm, while his eyes are still focused on reading the notification.


"Yes, why Rum?" arini replied without looking, because she was also focusing on typing something on her phone.


"Sister.. Somebody order our cake, ten more jars." Said Arumi happily, telling her brother.


"What is Rum?" tanya Arini made sure, and now she focuses on the sister who is replying to the message to the buyer.


"Yes. If you don't believe me, look at yourself." Arumi said that she handed her phone to her sister after she finished replying to the buyer.


Arini takes the phone in her sister's hand, and begins to read Arumi's and the buyer's messages carefully.


"Where's Rin?" asked her mother impatiently, because she only saw the behavior of her two children since then.


"Alhamdulillah, it's true that there's a message, Mom." Arini answered her mother's question, with a happy look on her face.


"Alhamdulillah." Said Syahra's mother, giving thanks.


"Well, did I say! Brother, don't believe." Arumi confirmed his words earlier.


"Yes, yes, I don't believe it. But, want a masti in aja kok." Arini chimed in on her sister's words.


"Keep, what's the difference." Said Arumi crossed her hands on her chest, then exhaled in a furious breath. "Hmmm...."


"Easy." Shahra's mother broke up, seeing the situation change. "Keep, the cake order wants you to deliver Rum?" shahra's mother asked, recalling their first order.


"If the problem is, Arin package gojek online only, Mom." Arini answered her mother's question, and ignored Arumi's words just now. "Mom don't worry." Arini again.


"Can you?" ask Syahra's mother, who does not know about the services of using online gojek.


"Can dong." Arumi answered quickly, stopping the movement of Arini's mouth who also wanted to answer questions from her mother.


And so they deliver the first order of the cake, using the online gojek services that Arini has ordered first.


"As per the address yes, sir." Arumi reminded.


"Ready, Neng." Answer the online gojek brother, giving a thumbs up. Then start the motor, start dropping off orders.


Ting....


The sound of Arini's phone notification, shifted the focus of those who were looking at the online gojek away from the hallway of his rented house.


"Other orders, brother?" ask Arumi to guess.


"Wait, brother check first." Arini answered and began to compartmentalize the flat object in her hand.


"Yes, order again." Arini said later, after checking her phone.


"Aamiin's." Replied Arini and her mother, affirming Arumi's do'a.


Then they enter, start wrapping orders from the buyer and will be delivered according to the address.

The days go by so fast, Arini's online cake business began to show progress. Not a few people who are around Arini jealous of his success and family. Especially after seeing Arini's stomach that had begun to bulge because it entered the sixteen weeks.


"Mom... Arin same Arumi between the cakes first yes.. at Aunt Juwita's shop." Arini's permission to her mother.


"Yes, you two be careful on the road. Remember the message mom, do not need to be in ladenin if there are mothers who talk about you." Syahra's mother said that she commemorated her children, because lately mothers like to talk about their families, about Arini's pregnancy that they did not see her husband.


"Yes, Mom." Arini and Arumi answered together, nodding. Then stepped away towards Aunt Juwita's stall after they shook her mother's hands in turn and said hello.


When Arini and Arumi began to approach the stall, it was seen that the mothers in the stall were whispering to each other. Whispers are still heard by the ears of the two brothers.


Arini turned to her sister, looked at her deeply, trying to send out the code that 'remember mother's message'. Arumi who was stared at like that, as if understanding the code her brother was telling her, nodded. And the two of them continued to approach Aunt Juwita's shop.


"Let's see Arini, her stomach's pinched. Must be pregnant with an illegitimate child, pregnant out of wedlock." Said one of the mothers, when Arini and Arumi arrived at the stall.


Hearing that all made Arumi growled in his heart, wanting him to reply to all the words thrown by the mothers, but he still remembered the message of his mother. So, Arumi could only look cynically at the mothers talking about her brother.


"Why? You're angry...?" one of the mothers asked in a mocking voice seeing Arumi's cynical look lead to them. "The reality is not!!! your sister is pregnant with an illegitimate child, pregnant out of wedlock, pregnant without a husband." The story goes, looking back at Arumi's cynical eyes, then pulling the basket of cookies that Arumi was holding and throwing it next to Aunt Juwita's shop.


Arini and Arumi were astonished by it, the cake they made with sweat and struggled just to throw away like that, like stale food.


"Bu Rahma's. Mom's outrageous!" yelling Arumi looked at the furious person named Bu Rahma, the person who had thrown away their cake.


His patience as a human. He could no longer bear to see the behavior of these mothers who had been very outrageous.


Arumi took a few steps forward, wanting to avenge Rahma's mother's treatment but her steps immediately stopped because her hand was held back by her brother.


"It's Rum, remember mom's message." Arini said preventing her sister from doing anything no-no. In fact, he was also a little infuriated by the treatment of these mothers. But, as much as possible he held back his anger, because he did not want to make trouble as his mother said.


"But brother." Arumi said, still do not accept the treatment of Rahma's mother that has been very outrageous.


"Udah, we didn't come to get into trouble. But make some cake." Arini calms her sister.


"But that's the cake." Arumi said pointing to their cakes that had been scattered and eaten by cats.


"Yes, not papa. There's one more basket." Arini still trying to calm her sister. "This is Aunt Juwita, the cake I'm taking back." Arini then turned to Aunt Juwita, while offering a basket of cake.


Aunt Juwita who was talking to one of the gossiping mothers, now turned to Arini who was thrusting a basket of cakes at her, then turned to the mothers again. And a moment later, he said... "Sorry Rin. I can't help you sell cakes anymore." Said Juwita's aunt staring pity at Arini. Arini pulled back the cake basket she had sodorkan earlier.


"But why, Bi?" arini asked confused, the article was just this time Aunt Juwita refused to sell the cake.
