"Assalamualaik." I said as I walked into the house, on a slightly different path.
"Wa'alaikum greetings, son." Mom said as she approached me and I kissed Mom's hand.
'Pardon your filthy child, ma'am.' I said softly in my heart, kissing my old mother's hand and feeling a soft elution in my hair.
"Have you eaten?" Said Mother gently while stroking my cheek.
"Have Ma'am, we ate at Neysa Bu's house." Said I was lying.
"Yes, you've rested there, I'm going to the kitchen first." Say Mom with a smile.
"Yes ma'am, I'll change clothes first ma'am. I'll help you Mom, Mom, just a minute." I hurried to walk with pain.
"Va, what's wrong with you?" Ask Mom to worry.
"What am I, Mom?" I said nervously.
"Why are you walking? You why? Let's tell Mom." Said mom worried.
DEG. . .
'Do you know?' Say me in my heart.
"Have you fallen? Or have you been in an accident? Didn't-don't you go home last night you lied to Mom? You said you were staying at Neysa's house again, you know you had an accident? Let's answer!" Smooch Mother with various questions, and Mother while examining my feet carefully.
DEG. . .
'Mom, I lied! I'm not staying at Neysa's house anymore, I'm sorry Mom.' Say me in my heart.
"Va. . . Eva. . answered my mother!" Mom said as she shook my hand, as I was pensive.
"E-h. . . Oh, yes, ma'am." I stammered.
"Let's answer Mom what happened, son? We're going to the doctor!" Said Mom worried.
"I'm not okay, Mom, I'm fine. It's just a sprained ma'am, it's been sorted by ko. I am calm, yes." Said I was lying.
"Are you really in order? It must have hurt a lot, mother's son. Mother make rice kencur yes, let your feet heal quickly. Wait a minute, son." She said worriedly, then walked into the kitchen.
I step foot into the room and lock it. I sat on the floor with tears flowing.
'Forgive me Mom, I sinned for lying to you! I'm sorry for being this dirty." Said me crying.
Haus. . . Haus. . . Haus. . .
"Eva baby open son, this is already made by Mom to make her rice. Come here, mom smear. Let's get better soon." Mom said while knocking on the door.
"Shortly Mom." I wiped my tears and hurried to change my clothes.
Kolkata. . .
"I'm sorry, ma'am, so it's a hassle for me." Said I felt bad.
"What are you talking about! Come on, where's the sore leg?" Say Mother while holding a bowl containing rice.
I raised my left leg, then Mom put my foot on her thigh and started to spread it with rice. I don't feel my tears dripping, I'm sorry I lied to Mom a lot.
'I'm sorry Mom, I have failed to take care of myself and have let Mom down!' Speak to me in my heart with tears flowing.
"It hurts a lot, son? Or is your mom massaging her too hard?" Said the mother who was massaging my legs.
"Why should I apologize? You are sick, it is crying. Patience, dear, may your feet recover quickly." Mother wiped my tears and stroked my hair.
"Yes ma'am, I'm sure I'll get well soon. Moreover, it has been treated by this mother's potion." I chuckle.
"Bas with you! What herbs? It's just rice and kencur doang, there's-there's this you." Mom patted me on the shoulder slowly.
"But really, Mom, I'm definitely getting well. Believe me, I'm cured tomorrow too." Say it with a smile and lower my legs.
"Aamiin, I hope tomorrow is better, son. Yes, now you just rest, don't walk a lot first?" Mother's Order.
"No, I want to help Mom. Then I'm mommy if you just shut up, can you?" I said weld.
"You're so stubborn, you can! But sitting down, baby." Say Mother full of love.
"Each commander." My speech.
We laughed together and walked to the kitchen to make our cake today.
Every day we sell at stalls that are deliberately made in front of our yard, we sell a variety of sponge cakes, pastries, fried foods, etc.
We sell 2 times a day, because there are many buyers who like Mother's cake. Early in the morning Mom started selling, and by the time I was leaving for college, Mom's sales were up.
While the afternoon after the Ashar prayer we reopened, it was not long before we opened the shop. Because the cake we made was also not too much, so it was not long exhausted.
"Alhamdulillah is all ready, let me take it forward yes. Just take a break, remember not to walk!" Mom and I just smiled.
After making sure Mom came out, I cleaned the equipment we used earlier and washed it. After that I also pray Ashar first, so that you can alternate with Mother guarding the stall.
"This is how many Decks?" Ask the buyer who is choosing our pastries.
"This is all 2,000 sir, if this one's 5,000 and the fry's 1,000. Which one do you want?" I said kindly.
"Solicitor in each pack 3 cakes and fried yes." Buyer's remarks.
"Okay sir, please wait." Say it while wrapping up the buyer's order.
"This sir, everything's 90,000 sir." Say it while handing me a packet of cookies.
"It's Nak." Said the buyer while handing over the 100,000 to me.
"So sir, the change." I said to hold the buyer who was going to leave immediately.
"Take the change." Said the buyer, then left my shop.
"Thank you, sir, thank God." My thanks.
Until it doesn't feel all the cake is up, and there are a few more fried left. From a distance I saw a scavenger who was looking for a used bottle in the garbage can, I wrapped up the remaining unsold fried food and gave it to the scavenger.
After everything was up, I cleaned everything and closed the stall and walked into the house. It turns out that Mom is preparing dinner.
"It's over, kid?" Ask Mom.
"Alhamdulillah run out, ma'am, this is the money ma'am." Say it while keeping a money box on the dining table and walking to the kitchen storing a dirty box of cookies.
"Yes you are ready, soon magrib. We pray together, baby." Say it with a sweet smile.
"Yes Mom, in a minute. It's a little more responsibility, ma'am." Said me washing the dishes.
We also prayed and had dinner together, not to forget we also told about our daily lives outside. Even though the story I told was a lie, I wish you didn't know it.
