Do good, without you having to show yourself a hero.
A smile never receded from his lips, as he entered the humble home of his parents.
"Mom,,,, sir, sir," he called out in a slightly loud voice.
"Yes, why, why?" The mother who was still busy in the kitchen replied in a loud voice.
After finding out that his mother was behind, Dimas soon followed.
"Where's Father?" Asked the young man, looking around and not finding the figure he was looking for.
"It's again in the break room." Answer the mother
"Yes, later then. Take a shower first." Said
He went to the room he occupied with Adi to both. The third Adi has his own room, because he is a girl.
After he finished cleaning himself, he laid down his body that felt tired. Smiling to himself, imagining the effort offered by Nandita this afternoon. Unconsciously he slept, so he did not hear the voice of the mother who called his name.
"Mas,,, Dimas,,, wake up son. After eating just slept again." Ms. Salma shook the body of the sleeping son.
Still drowsy, Dimas replied in a hoarse voice."Uh yes, Mom...."
"Wake up first, your brothers are waiting"
"Yes Mom,,,"
After that, the mother came out of her room. Dimas got up and washed his face, then followed the mother to the kitchen.
His two sisters sat down with their own plates. Her father was in a wheelchair, waiting for her mother to bring him food.
Dimas immediately joined, taking food.
After they finished eating, they sat in the simple living room of the house.
"Sir, Ma'am, said her sister Malikha, she intends to invite us to work together." Then the story flowed with Nandita this afternoon.
Both of his parents looked well.
"What do you think? Because Brother Dita said let's discuss first."
"Father strongly agrees, son, that's a big help to our economy." The old man smiled.
"But sir, isn't that unfair?? We have had customers for a long time. Now everyone wants a message, the profit is split in two??" Ms. Salma had objections.
"Mom is wrong to think so. Instead, Dita's helping us, Mom. He gave us business capital, helped with promotions, got Dimas involved in the process. That's pretty good. Our customers are not so much ma'am, even we are not able to meet their requests when the order is small. But now, we can make production every day, our market is also getting wider. That's very nice, ma'am..."
"Said Dimas earlier, Malikha said she wanted to help, whose name helps should be sincere sir.... If now he wants his profits to be shared, it's he won't help his name." Ms. Salma still doesn't accept it
The husband breathed deeply. The mindset of a person is hard to change. Patiently he explains the hidden intentions of Nandita that he can read.
"Mom,, why do you want to be pitied by people? With them helping us for free, it means they are unsure of our abilities. Precisely with this cooperation, nak Dita not only helps us financially, but also maintains our self-esteem Ma'am. He believes we are capable of growth, he believes we can stand alone, with the ability of the mother to cook, he believes this effort will advance."
Dimas can only listen to the father's explanation. It did not occur to him that Nandita's intentions were real.
"If he wants, he could be our subscription several times, then imitate the recipe that we usually use. Didn't he come here yesterday?? He can ask Dimas, right?? After that he made his own, marketed himself. But he didn't do that. Besides he wants to help our economy, he also wants Dimas to learn to do business."
Ms. Salma looked at the husband with her face.
"Why can you be so sure about someone you just know?? How do you know Nandita's intentions?"
Dimas nodded his head, the question in his head was represented by the mother.
"Father has often met various characters of people... There are many sweet-mouthed out there, pretending to feel sorry for our condition, whereas behind may be laughing at us. How many sincerely help our difficulties after this father? There are even those who can take our fortune fields by slandering us who are again affected by disaster. Nandita's boy here, it's normal. He does not show a face of pity, excessive pity, but you believe he knows our true situation. He invites us to work together, not because he wants to seize the customer's mother, wants to seize our fortune all along. But he wants to help us, make this effort even greater."
His father Dimas's thought was incredible. Like an analyst who is often faced with various problems and human character.
"Well you can think that far... I don't think about it, sir...." Dimas finally opened his voice.
"As time goes by, you'll learn son. Life will teach you so many things." Advice from that man.
"Where's Mom? In part, if we work together, and all smoothly, I no longer need nitipin trading to the canteens. You can focus on one job. May our efforts be blessed by God. I can go to college, and the sisters can go to school properly." The hope Dimas could not be rejected by his mother.
"Yes already then, I'm going with you. I hope you don't misjudge people, the boy is sincere with us." Miss Salma finally..
Nandita, who was told, decided to meet the young man again the next day.
Not to forget, the girl told her intentions to the father as well as her mother. Although the money used is his own, but he still involves parents in making decisions.
The night after dinner, he talked to his father and his mother.
"Well,, Bun, I have a plan to open the jerky business in the same order. My intention is that Dimas' parents work together. I prepare the capital, those who produce. Later the promotion of the same financial management I submit to Malikha and Dimas."
"Coconsiderate of cooperating?" Mother Santi was curious about her son
"The recruits are just as good as Bun's jerky, the kitchen is clean too. Worth selling to the market."
"Daddy's marriage is also good, cleanliness is also guaranteed because at home. Why don't you cooperate with me?"
Fishing sir Darma. The father of three was convinced there was a reason behind the princess' intentions.
"We want to help them, well, Mr. Brata was paralyzed, a work accident. While Bu Salma only sells packaged rice, nitip in stalls. His son has three. I want to end. If Dita helps directly, will not be able to meet their needs. Fear also offended them. Fear of hurting their self-esteem. If they work together, they can grow well,, Bun,,." The girl again.
It is true that Mr. Darma, there is noble intention behind the princess's plan. Pride is certainly felt by the two parents. Their children have high empathy for others.
They agreed and supported the girl's good intentions
"Ta,, how is your relationship with Gunadh? Mommy see he's serious like you." After a few moments of silence, she shifted the subject.
"It's Bun's custom, I don't want to get my hopes up." Nandita lowered her head
Both of his parents were astonished. What happened to her son's relationship?
"Why? What makes you doubt?" Mommy Santi urges the child. While the father, just silent and pay attention to his daughter's movements.
Nandita hesitates to be honest with her parents. But he also had nowhere to share his story, other than the two figures before him.
Seeing the child who was silent, Mr. Darma chose to leave. Maybe Nandita is more comfortable talking to her mother. Think Mr. Darma
"Dad to the room first yeah, tired." Say it before you get up and move away.
"What makes you doubt him?" Repeat the mother again.
"The kid's Bun,,,. Mira doesn't like me. More precisely the same relationship between me and mas Gunadh."
"Are you not very close? Then why doesn't he like you?"
"Complex Bun.... I don't know how to explain either."
"If you want, clear from the beginning. Mother is ready to be your listener, and if you need advice, you can give me advice." Mother Santi looked at the child with a shady look.
"Mas Gunadh separated from his wife because of Bun's third man.... But he didn't tell Mira about it. She doesn't want to, Mira hates her real mother. Well, Mira who does not know the true story, feels that Gunadh mas separated himself from the mommy. That's why he used to run away. The reason is because he wants to find his mommy. He likes to make trouble, likes to skip, at home also likes to disturb the workers. Until I finally meet me, and I'll be my governess."
Mother Santi still listened without interrupting the speech of the child.
"After I met him, I was paid to take care of him. I'm not just his bodyguard, he's the one who controls him everywhere. But I'm trying to be his friend. So his listener, also became his private tutor. But we never talked about her mom. I'm afraid it makes him sad."
"That means you're close to her," the mother finally commented
"Yes I'm close, even he's very spoiled as I am. But since Singapore, he's changed a little.... Even when he was in Singapore, he seemed not too happy with my presence. But I'm a cuek. Cause I don't feel like it's a problem with him, and I'm going there purely because I want a vacation."
"Have anything happened in Singapore?" The mother looked at her daughter seriously.
It's hard for Nandita to tell me everything. He was afraid the mother's view changed on Gunadh. While his feelings for the widower grew.
"There she was more like her mommy Bun, rarely like me. Mas Gunadh also sometimes take care of work there, so not full friends Mira vacation. And I also have my own schedule, where I'm going."
The mother nodded in understanding. Although Nandita did not tell in detail what happened during the holidays, Santi's mother believes there is something that makes the girl think less well about the child. For him, the child who just stepped on 5th grade Elementary School, will not be able to think to stay away from someone he initially liked without any reason or incitement from others.
"Ta, if suppose your relationship with Mira is good, Mira wants to accept you to be a mother, you can not love her like your own child?"
Nandita's brows furrowed, hearing the mother's question which was different from the topic of the problem.
"Well, Bun, I've never had a child. I don't know what it's like to have a child. I can't banding now. To be sure, I saw Mira was rich I saw Malikha. Someone I want to take care of, I teach, I also make friends. Don't know if it's gonna be any different with my son or not."
Won't it?? Nandita has never had a child. How can he treat Mira with a child that has not even been imagined in his mind?
"If you really love Gunadh, want him to be your companion later, you should be able to convince Mira if you really love him. Don't just fight Gunadh, you have to try too. Because a relationship will survive, if both parties have good intentions to maintain. Show them that you are worthy, and worthy of them." Mother's advice that night.
