The Fortitude of a Mother

The Fortitude of a Mother
jealous??


Several full moons have passed, and Mirah feels her life is filled with the pressure of the bath, how is it not? the marriage he is living now with Herman does not make him happy, especially Herman often demands his rights as a husband and Mirah really reluctant to be touched by the man who has now become his legal husband, he said,plus the man had no income at all, his daily life was spent at home or followed by Moses to the rice fields and of course visited Rohanah silently, or mountains .Mirah as a wife was annoyed actually, very contrary to the promise of the man when he wanted to return to her, said the word would be a responsible husband has never been run at all,there is no small living, for the daily needs of Ratna alone Mirah rely on her own income from selling bajigur and various fried foods, which she leased from afternoon to evening, while for raw food that bears it all, he said,sometimes Mirah also buys side dishes.


"The month we got married, the day you never wanted me to touch.Is that how hard it is for your heart to open up to me?" herman asked, the man is still trying hard to tear down Mirah


"You already know the answer 'yes, it's very difficult to accept you back, '" said Mirah blak blak right, with a straight forward look without the slightest want to look at Herman's face


"Please tell me, how do I get your heart back?" said Herman


"I don't know, but it feels really hard to accept you right now.But one thing I want, go back to work in his soap factory kak dori, but,you promised me to be the husband and father in charge, but until this moment you haven't shown it, I'm telling you, Ratna's needs are many, Ratna's needs are many,not to mention for us to eat a day, aren't you ashamed? continue to depend on the brother disah?" mirah's words were so striking,


"You're right, I'm still unemployed to this day, but right, I'm also trying to find a job, and I don't want to work with the dori master anymore," Herman snorted when his wife asked him to work in a soap factory owned by dori, the article he felt afraid and hurt, how not? when Dori found out he was marrying his foster child again, the man who became Mirah's foster father was so angry and did not accept he was afraid his sister would be hurt again,jaln was the only one to vent the anger that was held back long ago when Herman left Mirah in a state of great pregnancy, dori beat his father ratna was exhausted until battered, he said again,no one broke the act, including disah and Moses, because they thought it was worth his sister.


"What are you planning to do looking for another job?" his cynical words, actually could have been Mirah had soni hire herman, to help the child'ya work, now Soni successfully became a contractor to continue the footsteps of Amir the father, he said,or maybe Mirah asked Mr. Bambang for help but he was reluctant, and more ordered him to work in the soap factory owned by Dori or let the man try himself to find


"I don't know, but there's one thing I want to do and it costs me a lot, I need your help" Herman said hesitantly.


Of course Mirah frowned, "What is it?" this woman is so curious


"I need capital, to open a furniture business, I see you have a lot of jewelry stores," he said shamelessly


"Ha ha ha ha ha.you, need capital by asking for my jewelry, it is really shameless.The jewelry I bought with my own efforts when in bandung, sweat day and night, and,u know? all that is savings for Ratna's future," listening to Herman Mirah's request felt funny, completely shameless.


Herman was offended because Mirah laughed at him, then he passed away with an arrogant heart


***


Wreaking his gerrymandering Herman shared his story with Rohanah, of course after a heated struggle.


"What?! he really doesn't want to help you?" Rohanah was upset when he heard Herman's complaint


"It's so arrogant of him, that he doesn't want to help you," he said still angry


And suddenly something happened in his evil brain, his lips grinned when he got the idea he felt brilliant, then he whispered something in herman's ear


"You crazy?!" screeches Herman


"Try my idea" said rohanah annoyed


"Will it work?" Herman was hesitant about the idea of the woman


"Where do I know, you haven't tried it yet" snorted the bitch


***


The school bell rang, a sign that the school hours were over.Herman was waiting for Ratna at the school gate,


"Dad...!" call the girl carefree, now the relationship between father and son is getting better, because Herman really shows his love for the child


"Nana, let's go home" a warm smile was engraved on the lips of the man who had the title of father


"Let's go...,"


"What's that?" ask Herman


"What's what, yeah?"


"That's what Nana said,"


"Owh,let's go?"


"Well, yeah, that's it,"


"That means come on, father." nana giggles


"Weh...Nana Pinter English, who's teaching?" Herman enthusiastically


"Pak cu'eng." said Nana, but her carefree gaze now turned to sadness.


Dugs...


Hearing the name cu',eng called ratna, Hermann felt uncomfortable.Because Mirah had once mentioned the name, she was so curious about who the real cu'eng and intended to extract infosmation from the child


"Ehmmm, can you ask?"


"May, just ask,"


"Actually who's that cu'eng sir?" ask her curiously


"Owh, said Mr. Cu'eng's mother was the most instrumental person in saving Nana's life,"


"How do you mean?" Herman did not know anything about cu'eng at all, nor the role of the squinty man in the life of his wife's child


"Look at me.." Ratna then told me about all the kindness of Pak cu'eng, as well as his heroic actions in saving Nana's life when the fire occurred, the fire happened,not to forget also about the cu'eng who had come to the house there and stayed for two weeks


Herman was so shocked when he heard all that


"Owh, so that cu'eng sir ever stayed at our house?" search again


"Hm, yes," Ratna nodded steadily


"So, what did that man do while he was here?"


"Many, pak cu'eng is also very very good with Nana,emak and father, especially if the same mother, pak cu'eng always looks at mother, helps mother, and also gives a lot of gift gifts, too,for Nana and mom, too," she said honestly and innocently


Hearing that at once Herman's heart like in a sting of electricity, he shook with the jealousy in his heart.If listening to Nana's story can be ascertained if the man named cu'eng put his heart to his wife.


"What else does it matter?"


"Owh yes, one day Nana saw Mr. Cu'eng give a beautiful bracelet, but the mother never wore it.Just stored it in a jewelry box, but sometimes the mother likes to pay attention and kiss the bracelet,"


Deg deg...!


Herman's heart was pounding hearing Nana's words, now his brain was filled with question marks, did Mirah like or even love the man?


His heart was not because, he walked with his mind where


Arghh..!


"Dad...!" peekik Nana was shocked as she approached the father


Herman was in pain, as a result of walking out of focus his feet stepped on the scattered gravel, until he fell.


Now he feels his buttocks linu and hurts of course


"Dad, where's the sick?" looks like Ratna's worried about Herman


"No, just a little bit of pain," but not a little, but the pain was overcome by jealousy


"Let's sit first well, in the rice field of his mother," asked Ratna, it just so happens that they are passing in the street near the rice fields owned in the congregation
