"Geez!"said Ibu Bening when he saw the contents of the envelope.
Ibu Bening, or from now on we call it Bu Ningsih because Bening is already in PHK by the author.
Ms. Ningsih was surprised to see the thick envelope containing the money and the letter. With tremor-looking hands, Bu Ningsih took the letter that was on top of the pile of money and read it.
To Bu Ningsih.
I'm not very good at stringing words. So, I'm straight to the point. I apologize profusely to my mother for not being a good husband to my daughter.
Inside this envelope is a little money for mom. It might be useful for mom. And in this box is a piece of jewelry I gave Bening. All I gave to my mother as her heir. If the mother wants to sell it, in it there are complete letters so that the mother can sell it according to the market price.
If you need anything, feel free to contact me! I'll help mom as much as I can.
That's all I can tell my mom. If any of my words or sentences unintentionally offended my mother, I apologize! May you always be healthy and happy!
...Nando's...
Without feeling, Bu Ningsih shed tears after reading a letter from Nando. The daughter-in-law who was betrayed and almost killed by her daughter and her entire family did not hate her at all. Still very attentive to himself.
"Bening is actually very lucky to be able to marry the kind-hearted Nak Nando. But because he did not want to be grateful for what he had, Bening became greedy. If only Bening would be grateful for everything he has, his life would be very happy, "murm Bu Ningsih muttered while wiping away tears that could not be contained.
Bu Ningsih counted the money which turned out to be a hundred million. After that, open one by one the jewelry box in the box. There are jewelry made of yellow gold, some are made of white gold. Even those with diamonds. If you look at the letters, all the jewelry if sold can make money about seven hundred million. Total cash given by Nando so about eight hundred million. While the money Bu Ningsih himself earned by Bu Ningsih from Nando every month, there is still a remaining about seven million. Bu Ningsih was getting saddened to see all Nando's gifts.
"How can I repay Nak Nando's kindness? If I am given a long life, I want to be given the opportunity to repay Nak Nando's kindness, "murm Bu Ningsih said as she wiped her tears.
The woman took care of everything and kept it neat. The middle-aged woman had no idea what that amount of money and jewelry would be. His initial intention to return to the village was to be able to gather with his family, namely his sister and nephew. Want to open a food stall with the money he has to meet the needs of his life and help his sister's economy. But instead ended up being expelled by his sister.
After getting that much money from Nando, now Bu Ningsih so confused what to use for business. Due to exhaustion, Ms. Ningsih fell asleep. The air was cold because of the rain earlier and also because the walls of the house were only made of woven bamboo aka the old geribik as well. Making Bu Ningsih curl up under the blanket.
The next day, Ms. Ningsih woke up and found Rengganis had already come home from buying food for the two of them.
"Mom's up? I've bought food for both of us. I will have to go to Bu Lurah's house to clean up the house. I'll be home by noon. What.., is mom going to stay here with me? If you want to stay here, I'll bring you lunch. But if you don't want to stay with me, I'm fine too" said Rengganis, bowing his head, smiling thinly, a smile that seemed forced.
"If you don't mind, mother will stay here with you," said Bu Ningsih making Rengganis instantly raise his face.
"Be..really?"asked Rengganis to make sure what he heard just now was not wrong.
"Yes. I'll stay with you" said Bu Ningsih with a smile.
"Thank you, Mom!"said the girl with a bright face, "May I hug mom?"ask the girl doubt.
Ms. Ningsih did not reply, but the middle-aged woman spread her hands out with teary eyes. Because Bening who is his own biological daughter never hugged himself. But the girl he just met last night wanted to hug him instead.
"Eh, why does your body feel hot? Mom's fever?"tanya Rengganis seemed worried about Bu Ningsih, "I still have a cure for fever. Mother eat first! After that, take the medicine. Today, I don't have to go anywhere! Just rest at home," said Rengganis, looking worried. The girl rushed to get the medicine. Not long after, the girl returned.
"Mom's just a little feverish. Maybe because of fatigue traveled for half a day, after that around the village to find a place to stay. So the mother had a slight fever, "that Bu Ningsih was getting moved by the attention of the Rengganis. Even Bening never felt worried if he was sick.
"The name of the pain still has to take medicine, ma'am. Because the pain is not good. Come on, mom eat first. I made you some warm tea, "soot the gentle Rengganis.
Hearing Rengganis' words, Bu Ningsih remembered Bening's words when he was sick.
"If you are sick! Let it heal quickly. I don't have time to take care of my mother. If you get sick, who will clean the house? Time yes, should I clean the house? Oh me!"
That's what I say if I get sick. It was very different from this girl in front of him who even wanted to make him some warm tea. While Bening, until her daughter died, Ms. Ningsih had never felt what a Bening-made tea tasted like.
"What is your job?"ask Bu Ningsih.
"Anything, Mom. Absorbancy. Clean people's houses, help cook, same laundry ironing clothes as well. If it fits the growing season and harvest, if anyone does, come along, "that girl whose skin is black because of the sunburn.
"What are you graduates?"
"I'm a high school graduate, Mom,"
"Why not find a job in the city?"
"I don't have any money, Mom. Looking for a job, right, also need money to eat, drink and temporary shelter. It has been accepted, also must have money for living expenses before receiving a salary. I don't have any savings for that, Mom. Want to work through a mobile phone, I do not have a mobile phone. Let alone cell phones, can eat everyday I'm happy, Mom,"that girl let out a long sigh, "But don't worry! Since there is a mother here, my fortune will definitely increase. I can definitely provide for both of our lives. I'll work even harder, so we can eat more nutritious food" she said, looking enthusiastic.
Bu Ningsih was even more moved. This girl was intending to live herself vigorously. Her daughter considers herself a burden.
"Sorry, since when did your parents die?"
