Part 20's. Rejeki Anak Soleh

Arriving there, Tuti was immediately mangap see the cupboard and disbelief controlled his mind because the cupboard was quite damaged. Then he asked innocently,

"How long has it been Lin? Why don't you guys change?"

"I told you anyway. But my mother didn't want to. He said, 'Let it go! Let your father see and know his bad behavior.' Ah... I myself also stress every time I see them fighting. I used to tell my mom to run away from home so my dad would realize. But because I think about my school, it doesn't.

Just look at it later. If I had been a successful man, I wouldn't have given my father my money."

"That's Lin! I support! Bad fathers do not need to be put up. Even if he gets sick later, it doesn't have to be taken care of. Just let it go."

"That's it. Don't talk about it keep. Males. How about we eat first."

"mmm...

I think I went home to Lin. It's late afternoon. My mom was worried because I wasn't coming home. Anyway, tonight we're going to Betty's house. So right?"

"Dong definitely."

On the way, Tuti spoke to himself, and,

"So great is Linda's father. Angry little, things ruined. What if you are angry? Perhaps-maybe the mountain of merapi could be destroyed in his hand.

Er, wrong! There was him who died first when the mountain erupted. If he is angry, it could be his home will be his target later. Fortunately, I have a gentle father. Not like Linda. But pity too...

Yes already. I quickly went home."

Arriving in front of the house, she saw her mother locking the door while her father checked his motorcycle. Both are well dressed.

"Dad, mom, where are you going?" Tanya Tuti astonished.

"Son, mom and dad are going on a date. You're fine at home. Don't be naughty." Reply to her mother while throwing a smile at her.

"What's? A date? How come you guys don't jump around. You guys want to eat good, right outside? I'm coming with." Spoiled talk.

"Aduh Tuti. You're not ashamed to follow your mom and dad like kindergarten? You're already big. If you want to eat well, be calm. Your father cooked you a special meal."

"Are you serious? Don't be just an excuse to let me come."

Not staying silent, his father also spoke to give an explanation after checking his motorcycle.

"Son, yesterday when mom and dad went on a date, you came along. Because of that, mom and dad enjoy it less. Now if you come along, we won't be able to date anymore either. You don't pity your father?" Said.

"Dengerin to your father. You don't feel sorry for seeing mom, either? Huh uh?" His mother continued to weld.

"Mmmm....

Ja. Ja. Anyway, tonight I have an appointment with Linda. So you guys just calm down.you can date until satisfied. But remember, there are conditions. If you go home, don't forget to bring fried noodles and strawberry jam toast. If I forget, tomorrow's your date I'll cancel."

"Yes. Ja. I'll bring two servings at once."

"One serving is enough. Tuti is getting fat again." Reply with a sour face.

"alright. We go first, son." Said father.

"Yes, be careful."

After that he went straight in and went to his room while saying,

Meanwhile, Linda begged her mother to make green bean porridge for her to bring to Betty's house.

"Mom, come on dong masakin. It's important ma'am. It's about the fate of our friendship ma'am." Said.

"Oh.. Mother was really bad Lin. Mom's really tired. Mother clean and clean the house all day. Not to mention your father always makes trouble and makes your head more stressed."

"Well, why else, mom?"

"Your father borrowed my watch. He said his watch was broken. Uh, you know, the watch was pawned by Lin. It's the only precious thing that belongs to the mother that's still left, which I bought while still a girl. That watch is always mom's care."

"Dad is really bad, Mom. What's the money used for?"

"Make the tires change, buy good food, and the rest do not know where to go. He only gave a hundred thousand to mother."

"Change the motorcycle? Just yesterday the tyre was replaced. Time is directly bald. Try to buy good food. If you want to eat well, you have to work hard. Mother, don't shut up. Long time father can run."

"Ouch. Let aja. This house could be destroyed. Let's leave! Did you see for yourself the dish cabinet that broke yesterday because she was angry? If mother protests, later this house pole can be knocked down by her. Your job now is to learn the right thing to be a successful person. Later when you have finished school, we stay only your useless father."

"That's for sure. But what about the green bean porridge mom? I promised Tuti."

"You bought it at Ida's mak's shop."

"Yes already. Where's the money."

His mother immediately took the money out of his pocket and told him to leave quickly before it ran out. Because warung mak Ida is always crowded with buyers. Then he immediately ran to the stall.

"Mr...! Mother Ida...! Mommy...!" His voice called but was not seen.

"Where's the guy? From then on it was called not out. Is this a sale intent or not?

Mommy.... !" He screamed louder.

Shortly afterwards Mother Ida came out in a hurry while busy preparing herself and checking what she needed and said,

"Eh, you're Lin. What's up?"

"I want to buy your mak porridge. There's still, right?"

"still. That's one more pot. Take it all."

"Everything? But Linda just needs a little mak."

"Have taken everything, don't pay. Mak hastily left. It's too late."

"Where are you going?"

"Mom, you're going to pick up my mom's son. He just got back from America. Mother's son passed the duty of students to college there. Mom's really happy. So consider it a gift for you. Mother's son doesn't know. He said he wanted to surprise. You know you don't have to sell today."

"Ih. don't dong mak. Fortunately, my mother made a surprise. I also got a profit. Yes, the pancake I brought all of yah mak. I'll give it back tomorrow."

"Yes. Aye." Yeah."

Linda took home the pot of pureed beans with pleasure and said,

"This is called the fortune of the son of Soleh. Rejeki son of Soleh did not run anywhere."
