Section 373: Gold Shop 3
Amanda was cooking fried rice, her mother had been sick for a few days, unable to get out of bed.
“Bu eat first yuk.” Amanda had finished cooking fried rice for her family, she woke her mother up.
“Later Manda, mommy wants to sleep first.” Her mother refused, Manda had brought her mother to the clinic near the house, the doctor said that her mother was anemic, so she was always limp, then given drugs that had been consumed according to the doctor's prescription, but there was no change. For three days her mother had just slept, while Amanda had to work, but her brother did not help at all, did not want to help take care of her mother.
“Breakfast first ma'am, later can sleep again, do I want a bribe?” Amanda looks very worried.
“No need, I want to sleep first yes.” His mother then fell asleep again.
Amanda went out of the room and prepared the rice to give to her mother, when she was about to take the fried rice, she saw her brother was eating at the dinner table.
“Sister, sick mother does not want to eat from yesterday.”
“Manda, let me sleep first, in maybe a sauce only. Don't fuss at you.” His sister doesn't seem to care.
“Kak, we take mom to yuk hospital?”
“No can, big brother there is cooperation temen, you only. Oh yes, one more, you please transfer yes, money for the extension of student brother, it has been one week now, mother has not loved.”
“Said your cooperation, why do not have money for college!” Annoyed Amanda heard it.
“You help your sister first yes, later sister replace.”
“Neither, the money I bought a necklace yesterday, for his birthday gift, you find it yourself, if not break up college, rather than bothering me continue.”
“Enteng once you talk, I just stay to graduate and can find a good job, you should come to think, this is for the future too right? later if my work is good, you can go to college, so now you pay for my college, yes.”
“Ngak Kak, sorry, now my Priority mom, I want to take mom to the hospital, even though I can use BPJS, but still I have to hold the money just in case.”
“You are so stubborn! Unfilial sister, arrogant!” His sister threw the plate and just left.
Amanda was already very upset with her brother, because he was very irresponsible as the only man in this family. He should have taken care of this family, not the other way around.
“Bu, wake up first yuk.” Amanda said softly.
His mother got up and sat down with Manda's help, she was still very limp.
“Manda, we sell this necklace only first yes, kasian your sister, mother has no money to pay for college, she can be out if we do not pay immediately.”
Her mother said something that cut Amanda's day.
“Mother eat first.”
“Manda ... help your brother first yes, later if he has done a good job, you must also be helped.”
“Mother eat first yes, later mother more limp.”
“Ayolah Manda, this we sell necklace aja.”
“Mother! Manda never asks for anything from mom! Manda never demands anything from her mother. Manda helps mom find money even though Manda also wants to go to college like all Manda students who are now still busy in college and hanging out with friends.
Now that our situation has begun to improve, Manda works a bone slam so that mother can reduce the work, Manda lakainin it for mother, Manda mikirin mother, but why do you never think Manda feelings! I just think about my sister's feelings! Manda work kayak porters, bermaki-mos boss, lift heavy goods and told customers. Did Manda ever complain to mom? Do you know how embarrassed Manda was when she had to meet a friend who happened to be shopping at Manda's place of work, she just got a job at SOEs, while Manda was smarter than her, she said, just work as a cashier!
What Manda ever ngadu to mother, how shy Manda, how much want Manda run away from the state of this house.
Manda ...”
His mother was crying.
“Here Son, mommy wants to eat.” His mother took the fried rice dishes that Manda brought, she ate with a forced though very unwilling to eat, but she forced, because she knew, her daughter had cooked for him.
Manda was still crying while watching her mother eat.
After the fried rice ran out, Manda took some water and gave it to her mother.
When Manda was about to come out, her mother pulled her son's hand and kissed him.
“This is the hand of the mother's son who was once very small, this hand was the mother's guard so as not to hurt or hurt, the mother did not let this hand hold a heavy object, and the mother did not let this hand hold a heavy object, because mom wants this hand to be painless, first ....
I'm sorry, kid, I shouldn't have to put your sister's needs on you, your work money on you, your work money on anything you want, go to college if you really want to, kid if you really want to, sell this necklace for your college expenses.
About your brother, let it be his business, we'll let him find his own solution, son.
Sorry mom has been unfair all this time, sorry mom made you have to take responsibility for the economic situation of our family, sorry yes, Nak.”
His mother then pulled Amanda and hugged her.
“Mafin Manda was talking to Mom yes, sorry Manda ya Bu.”
While hugging her mother, Manda saw the back of her mother's neck to half her back blackened.
“Bu, this why the neck is the same back?” Manda was shocked and asked his mother to show the back of the neck and the buttocks.
Sure enough, half his mother's back started from the neck.
“Bu, this hurts?” Manda asked.
“Iya Nak, it hurts so much.”
“Kok didn't say?”
“Emang why?”
“ini bruise! It's so wide. Brother hit mom?” Manda asked sadly.
“No! your sister let's be lazy so, she's not evil son, I don't know, why mom's back is like this.”
“We have to go to the hospital ma'am, we have to check, this is why.”
“Don't Nak, most also recover after a few days. You have to work.”
“Nothing, Manda permission, now I wake up, Manda change clothes, we go to the hospital ya.”
“Manda looks very worried, she replaces her mother's clothes, does not want to hear the reason of her mother and forced to go to the hospital.
After her mother was ready, Manda left her mother in bed and picked up her bag in the closet in the room, when she returned to pick her mother up, her mother fell asleep on the bed.
Manda did not have the heart to actually wake her mother, but .. she had to stay in the hospital, Manda was afraid that her mother why-why.
“Bu, let's go to the hospital first.” Manda shook her mother's shoulders gently.
But her mother was silent.
“Bu, wake up first yuk, we go to the hospital first.” Manda shook his shoulders a little harder.
His mother remained silent. Eyes closed.
“Bu ..” Manda shook her mother's body even harder, but her mother didn't wake up either.
“ Bu! Mom!” Manda shouted while shaking her mother's body very hard, then at one point she regained consciousness and began to touch her mother's nostrils, she made sure her mother was still breathing ... there was no gust coming out of the nostril, Manda began to fear, his body trembled even more violently.
Manda held her mother's neck with her index and middle fingers together, but not palpable at all.
Manda turned to her mother's wrist, same! there was no pulse there.
Manda ran outside and shouted.
“Please!!! Help me!!! Please!” all the neighbors came, Manda had fallen.
A mother-mother who is her closest neighbor pulled Manda and sat her in the living room, the rest everyone went into the room, because Manda muttered that her mother died.
...
The atmosphere of the house turned crowded, Manda's mother was bathed, her whole body was already forgiven, all that was left was her face that was not covered with a shroud. Then the body that has been forgiven is covered with a rag from the chest to the legs.
Manda was by her mother's side, she stared blankly, while the others read yasin near her corpse, all the neighbors came and went.
Neighbors nearby were already in the kitchen of the house preparing snacks collected from the citizens' joint venture. Manda simply stared blankly at her mother's eternal slumber.
“Where is it?” A neighbor who was berkungjung asked the neighbor who had accompanied Manda.
“I told you earlier, again at his friend's house, work he said, now again the way home.”
Not long after, her brother Manda came, she was seen running from outside and once she entered the house, her brother immediately dropped into her arms hugging his mother's body which had been stretched stiff. He was crying roaring.
Manda was still staring blankly at that, her brother was crying roaring and apologizing, continuously.
“Silence you jerk, noise! Your mother is dead! Why are you apologizing now! You want money for your college! I have, I give you now, because my mom doesn't need to go to the hospital anymore! don't cry like your little boy! your mother won't hear anymore! You want my mom's necklace? Here's take!” Amanda throws the necklace at her brother, her brother goes silent, she doesn't talk anything but still cries a mouthful, really she doesn't think that her mother will die and leave her, college? Even he did not want to go to college anymore, he just wanted a little time with his mother to be returned, he continued to roar, while others reminded, that roaring is not allowed.
Some neighbors pulled her sister Amanda and asked them to help prepare for the funeral, as she was a boy, so she had to help, while Amanda was still depressed due to the death of her mother.
The time of burial was near, her mother began to be carried with a coffin to a public burial place, her brother carried the coffin, while Amanda followed behind.
He didn't cry anymore, he just stared blankly at the front, where the coffin was.
While staring at the coffin, Amanda suddenly fainted, what she saw made her shocked and then fainted.
Some neighbors caught her, her brother looks worried about Amanda's situation, she asked the neighbors to take her home.
Manda was then driven home and had to not attend the funeral.
The funeral is over, the brother is home again, the neighbors are still coming to say their condolences, there is plenty of food available at home, the neighbors have high empathy, they provide food for the family and guests, money other than the citizen joint venture, also from the RW cash, so the family is not bothered and can also rest, the grief of losing the mother is very painful, moreover, they have no parents anymore, orphans.
“Manda, eat first yes. You are not.” His sister brought a plate of rice and side dishes.
“Manda just kept lying on her back to her brother, she had been conscious since earlier, but forgot the incident she had experienced before fainting.
“Manda eat yes, sister put here her plate.” Her sister placed the dinner plate covered with tissue on a small table beside the bed.
When her sister turned around to get out, Manda suddenly said, “mother said I can go to college after I got angry at her for thinking more about you, I was angry that he wouldn't eat and was busy persuading me to sell the necklace for your tuition.
I was mad at him, I told him that he was unfair, I complained and was ashamed of our situation.
He then took the plate I brought for him, he ate by force ...” Manda cried because she knew clearly, her mother forced herself to eat, she forced the fried rice into her mouth, at that time Manda did not care, she was too angry at her mother.
“You're not wrong, I'm wrong, I'm sorry Manda, we're just two Man, we have to deal with this together ya.”
“Why are you just talking like this now? It's too late, I can live alone.”
“Manda, brother please.”
“After the completion of 7 daily mother, I will cost, you are up to sell this house for your college, I do not care, I will only focus on myself at this time.”
“Manda, do not stay sister yes, let brother who is looking for money from now on, you go to college ya.”
“Free, I don't need your money right now, which I need right now my mom, but it's gone. I'll take care of myself, let's take each other's path, come out and bring the plate, I just want to talk that.”
Manda said coldly, her brother looked very sad and disappointed in himself, if only he knew his mother would be gone, of course he would be filial, at least graduated from college, but the rice had become porridge.
...
“Where to Dit, Bu?” Aditia who was at home asked.
“From takziah, his mother Amanda died.”
“Oh ...”
“Emang you know? Howk oh?” Aditia's mother asked, Aditia was watching TV in the living room, while Dita went to the bedroom to sleep.
“No, where Adit knows.”
“ituloh in alley four, they already have no father, now his mother died. Dit, mother's prayer is only one, healthy and extended my age, so that I can still accompany you until marriage.”
“What the hell is bu, how to say so.” Aditia was upset that her mother spoke of death, the thing she feared the most was only the same as her mother.
“Iya, I feel sorry for her Amanda, she fainted, she said she wanted to bury her mother, jadinay brought home and did not see her mother buried. For her brother is there and sprightly, she takes care of all the funeral necessities.
If mother why-why, you should protect your sister yes, remember you two only if mother ...”
“Bu, ah already, Adit does not want to be horrified again ya!” Aditia looks very upset with the words of her mother.
“Yes, mom is just being advised, age no one knows Dit.” His mother then got up, passed by Aditia to get into the room changed clothes.
“Bu! A minute.” Aditia approached her mother who was almost in the room.
“Why the hell?”
Aditia approached her mother and ... strange smell!” Aditia said in her heart.
“Home is in the alley four bu?” Aditia asked impatiently.
“Iya, in alley four, why? Want to praise you too?”
“Hmm, maybe, yaudah mom shower first, do not go straight into the room. Dit! Have you taken a shower yet?”
“Udah Kak, earlier Dita shower keep changing clothes, sultry thing, why?” Dita asked from inside the room with a shout.
“Neither, the important thing is that you have taken a shower.”
“Usually also only ablution is enough, why now must take a shower anyway, Dit?”
“Udah shower aja bu, let it be clean, it was sultry said Dita.” Aditia forced, her mother then complied.
Aditia ran to the front of the house. No sign of the railing, then ... what was the smell? It was stuck in her mother's shirt.
