The Creak of my Friend's Bed

The Creak of my Friend's Bed
Very Outrageous


All the way home, Kayla just kept nagging.


"Astaghfirullah aladzim, Brother Mimie really know people like Usna anyway? she said her husband is so nice his wife is that? I think her husband died from too much stress to have a wife like Usna."


"However, there is no gratitude at all, even nawar continuously."


Mickel momentarily glanced at Kayla," baby, instead you often advise if doing good is not expecting a reply even if it is just a thank you. We must be completely sincere as you often tell me."


"Hem yes I'm sorry I'm being khilaf, his name is also human will often be like me. After all, Usna's attitude is very outrageous," Kayla said in defense of herself.


"Khilaf but not the deepest, yes, just a moment of his khilaf," seduced Mickel.


Not long after, they arrived home. At this time Oddy was angry with Usna.


"Mom, why the nature of the mother is there is no positive change at all. Even after I shouldn't have been the mother was aware of all the mistakes of the mother not even getting worse like this. Is it not at all shameful to be bad to someone who has sincerely helped us? please change Mom don't keep going like this, I'm ashamed."


Oddy tried to advise Usna, but Usna did not listen to all the advice of Oddy.


He was silent at all did not respond to the words of Oddy, to make Oddy caught off guard and passed away from the presence of Usna.


In his room, Oddy contemplates daydreaming of the late Isal. He remembers when his father was alive.


"Dad, am I capable of replacing father looking after mother? dad, how should I change mom's bad temper? I don't feel good about Mickel and Aunt Kayla" he murmured in his heart.


While at this time Usna is as comfortable as a smile counting waste of three million rupiah given by Mickel.


"Tomorrow this money I'll use for shopping. I haven't been shopping since the late Mas Isal went bankrupt. I don't want to waste this money."


Usna kept the yang carefully in her wallet.


*******


Morning's.....


Oddy is getting ready to leave for Mickel's office, while Usna is still sleeping soundly.


"Geez, is my mom like this? it's my first day working in Om Mickel's office, but I'm like this. Not to prepare breakfast for me and pray for me or give me support. He was still sleeping, want to when my mother like this, God?"


Oddy was forced to drink only water because there was no food at all in the dining room. He did not dare to wake his mother who was still sleeping soundly. On an empty stomach he left for Mickel's office.


"I have no money at all. Want to ask for a fare also to take transportation to Om Mickel's office. Bismilbornrahmanirrahim, it's okay I walk anyway too early too. Surely arriving at Om Mickel's office will not be late," he murmured.


Oddy leaves for Mickel's office on foot taking thirty minutes. Arriving at Mickel's office, the condition of the office is still very quiet. Security has been told that there will be a new employee, Oddy, by Mickel. Until Security asks Oddy to wait in the security post.


"Mas whose name is Oddy isn't it?" ask security.


"Yes, sir, that's right" replied Oddy.


"I got a mandate from Mr. Mickel, that Mas Oddy be asked to wait for him in the security post first" said security.


At that time, Oddy stepped into the security post following the footsteps of security.


Until a few minutes later, Mickel came and he saw Oddy was waiting at the security post.


"Oddy, come on in!" call Mickel and wave at Oddy.


Oddy quickly approached Mickel with a small run.


"I'm sorry if you wait a long time" said Mickel.


"No, I've only been a few minutes" Oddy said.


Oddy continues to step in Mickel's footsteps into Mickel's office. And after arriving at Mickel's office, he explained what Oddy had to do, "sorry Oddy, for a while, om place you as an ordinary employee is okay right? while I want to know what your performance is like."


Oddy has absolutely no objection to him only working as an ordinary staff," I don't mind Om, Thank God I can work, so no need to hesitate or feel bad about me. I am so grateful to have helped me and my mother."


"Kruwuk kruwuk kruwuk!"


Suddenly Oddy's stomach rang, he also endured the shame. In his heart murmured, "why do the worms in my stomach have to demo at a time like this anyway?"


Mickel just kept staring at Oddy, "you haven't had breakfast yet? why Oddy?" reproof Mickel.


"Anu om.I..."


Oddy was so embarrassed when he wanted to tell me what really happened this morning.


"Well.when should I tell Mickel the truth?" he murmured in his heart.


But Mickel continued to persuade Oddy to tell the truth, until finally Oddy was honest. She had not had breakfast because her mother was still sleeping.


"Astaghfirullah aladzim, how can your mother still sleep? when do you not think of yourself?" Mickel did not understand Usna's attitude at all.


"It's not like that, Mickel. Last night I cried because I was still thinking about my late father. Early in the day new mother can sleep, because I had heard her cries and even I had time to reprimand mother. Until the end of the morning, the mother was still sleeping soundly," said Oddy lying.


She didn't want her mother's name to get worse with her behavior yesterday.


"I'm sorry, um, no matter how ugly she is still my real mother. I'm sorry to cover up mother's guilt" she murmured in her heart.


Mickel feels pity, unbeknownst to Oddy. Mickel ordered breakfast for Oddy. He sent a chat message to one of his employees to buy food.


Just a few minutes later, the employee brought food to Mickel's study.


"Oddy, eat first. Sit on the sofa so you are comfortable. Later after a new breakfast take you to your room," asked Mickel.


"Waduh.thank you om. Sorry I always bother you."


At that time Oddy also brought a parcel containing food and drinks. He turned to the couch in Mickel's office. In his heart, he turned on his mother, "all this is because of a mother who doesn't care about me at all. Until I had to starve and endure this kind of shame, "his inner self was very upset with Usna.
