Angela was impatient to wait for her mother to come back because her mother promised to bring her the pizza she wanted. Enjoying the food was not often he did since his father was gone because Cristal could no longer buy pizza for his daughter even if only a piece.
That night Cristal came back while carrying a lot of things like never before. The item he brought was the food Gail left behind for him. All the food he packed so he could enjoy together with his mother-in-law and daughter. At least they can enjoy the food after the next few days.
After Gail leaves, Cristal gets a lot of questions from her best friends but she doesn't know why she did it. He was afraid to guess, he really did not dare.
Though he intended to find additional work after returning home from work but the food he had to bring home made him have to delay his intention. This time she won't be a striptease dancer anymore. Simply being a waiter at the bar alone, he did not want to repeat the same incident again.
Hopefully he can get an extra job, he also hopes Lucius doesn't know of his whereabouts.
Angela peeked out the window. As long as his mother left, the door was always tightly closed. No one dared to come out, they were also afraid that someone would suddenly come because the debt collectors could have come when Cristal was not around.
When she saw her mother coming, Angela was very happy. The girl ran to the door and opened it. He even ran towards his mother who was quite far away.
"Mommy!" Angela looks so cheerful.
"Don't run!" cry Cristal.
Angela is still running, she can't wait to enjoy the pizza she so desperately wants.
"What did Mommy bring?" tanyanya while walking by her mother's side.
"food."
"Did Mommy bring Angela's favorite pizza?"
Cristal smiled, which he brought was indeed no pizza but he was sure his daughter would be happy.
"Go inside the house first, next time Angela should not get out of the house because of danger," he said.
"Good, Mom. Angela's just not patient."
"All right, let's go inside."
He was afraid that someone would kidnap his daughter because of a debt he did not pay. After the lease is over, she will take her daughter and mother-in-law away. That indeed he must do so that the debt collectors do not know his existence. Had they known, it would have taken them quite a long time to discover his existence.
They had entered the house, the door was closed and locked tightly. Cristal was really vigilant, lest anyone break into the house without him knowing.
"Where's Grandma, Angela?" ask her while putting food on the table.
"Grandma's resting in the room, Mom."
"Alright, Mommy brought a lot of food but Mommy didn't bring pizza. It's okay, isn't it?"
"Yeah.... Angela wants pizza," Angela looks disappointed.
"Sorry, Honey. But Mommy brought me another food that Angela likes."
"What is that, Mom?"
"Take a guess Angela, there are potatoes and fish," Cristal looked at her daughter with a smile. He also took a packet of food.
Angela seemed to think for quite a while, "Fish And Chips," she replied as she shrieked softly.
"Yes, Angela wants to eat that, right?"
"You.. hurry, Mom. Angela's hungry."
"Wait a minute" Cristal took the plate to put the food down. After giving her daughter a meal, she would see the state of her mother-in-law. Not usually her mother-in-law did not come out of the room, she suspected her illness recurred
"Well, Mom," Angela had already sat down to enjoy the food laid by her mother.
Cristal rubbed his daughter's head with a smile and after that she passed away. Hopefully her mother-in-law is fine but she goes to take a shower first and then she goes to see her mother-in-law's condition.
Angela had finished eating when Cristal knocked on her mother-in-law's room. There was no reaction at all, it made Cristal wonder even a bad premonition appeared in the heart.
"Mom, are you okay?" Cristal called and knocked.
"Mom!" there was no response even though he called back.
Cristal's getting suspicious, he better get in. The door opened, Cristal rushed inside.
"Mom, are you okay?" Cristal called his mother-in-law who was lying on the bed.
There was no response, he could vaguely hear his mother-in-law moaning in pain.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" cristal shouted as he ran towards his mother-in-law.
"Cris-Cristal," her mother-in-law looked helpless. Cristal panicked not overbearing to see the condition of his mother-in-law.
"What's wrong with you, Mom!!" cry Cristal in fear.
"Sick.. sick," said her mother-in-law.
Cristal ran out to pick up the phone, tears were already pouring down. She could not think clearly anymore, all she needed right now was an ambulance so that her mother-in-law could be dealt with immediately. His hands even shook when he contacted the ambulance. Hopefully her mother-in-law is fine but one thing she is thinking about, with what will she pay for the hospital fees later?
It didn't take long, the ambulance arrived. Angela cried loudly as her grandmother was taken away, Cristal also cried. Why is the problem coming again? Not finished that one, one more problem arises. It's always like that happened.
Cristal took her daughter away, to the hospital where her mother-in-law would be treated. All the money he had was brought. Hopefully the money is enough.
"How's Grandma doing, Mom?" ask Angela while crying.
"Mommy doesn't know, honey," Cristal fathered his mother. She was afraid to imagine what would happen to her mother-in-law.
Long enough they waited, waiting in fear until finally a nurse came out to meet them. Cristal immediately approached, she was really afraid to hear what was happening with her mother-in-law.
"Madam, the operation must be carried out immediately otherwise the patient will not survive."
"Operation?" Cristal looked surprised.
"Yes, if Madam agrees the operation will be carried out immediately but please take care of her administration first."
"Do whatever it takes to save my mother!" cristal said without thinking.
Because Cristal had agreed, so the nurse returned to the room. Cristal takes Angela to the administration room. With all the money he's got hopefully enough. That's what he expected, but what is it? The money is not enough at all. He already paid twenty percent for the operation to be carried out but the rest? This became a new problem for him. Now he doesn't know what he's going to do and where he's going to ask for help.
"How's Grandma doing, Mom?" angela asked while hugging her mother. His crying had stopped but he was still afraid.
"Grandma's fine, no need to worry."
"Grandma's not gonna leave us like Daddy, is she?" ask Angela again.
"No, Grandma won't leave us!" Cristal.
Angela lying at her mother's feet, Cristal stroked her head slowly. Cost, that's what he's thinking. Where should he ask for help? Such a time he was reminded of the person who offered him help. Should he ask her for help? The road is dead, Cristal has no choice. If indeed he had to sacrifice his body for the medical expenses of his mother-in-law, he was forced to do so.
The phone was taken, Cristal gulped. Hopefully the man will help, he really has no choice. A man's voice was heard, Cristal again gulped violently. Does he have to do that?
