The Lives of Five Hundred Thousand
Make crackers

I approached my mother who was still cool watching her favorite soap opera film in the TV room. I saw him watching as he laid his body on the carpet. Mom occasionally wipes her tears while her eyes can not be separated from the TV screen. I wonder why my mother is crying? After I noticed the TV screen, it was the soap opera that was watching that made her cry. I just shook my head to see my mother who turned out to be a baperan aka bring feelings.

"Mother...!"I ventured to call him to help me make crackers in the kitchen even though I knew I would definitely get some spray because I had been bothering him who was busy watching his favorite soap opera. Then, Mom glanced at me.

"You what?" ask the mother with big eyes.

"Help me make crackers Mom, let it finish quickly" I said.

Mother straightened her body and looked seriously at me.

"You dare tell mom? you know what I'm doing? my movie is not finished. You have already made it first. I'll see if my movie is over."

Right my guess. Mom will nag me. Without telling her again, I walked out of the TV room. It's up to you to help me if not. After all, even though he helped not much he did just told me to, it was the same as me making my own crackers without anyone helping.

I've been in the kitchen for three hours making crackers all alone. Silence, I no longer hear the voice of my mother who sometimes babbles herself. I was curious and then I walked into the TV room and found my mother asleep on the carpet in front of the TV. I sighed then went back to the kitchen to continue making crackers. Drowsiness began to strike both of my eyes. However, I just hold it so that the process of making crackers is completed tonight so that tomorrow morning can be directly in the sun.

I smiled happily, finally the process of making crackers was completed within five hours.I lyrics clock attached to the kitchen wall already showed at two o'clock at night. I immediately tidied up the marks making crackers that look random scramble. After that, I immediately cleaned myself in the bathroom before entering my room.

I walked through the TV room. I see you still sleeping on the carpet. Wanted to wake her up so she could move to her room. However, I was afraid that he would nag me again. I let him sleep in front of the TV anyway his bed was not a thin mat but a thick carpet that I bought for seven hundred thousand when Zain was eight months in the womb. I need that carpet because I'm gonna have a baby. I bought it using my own savings because at that time I was still working until my gestational age entered four months. I decided to quit my job because I had a bad break. Frequent pain and even fainting at work. In addition, I also rarely go to work, making me feel ashamed of my superiors and coworkers for ditching so often.

I went into my room but I felt like my mind was not at ease letting my mother sleep outside. I went out of the room again and ventured to wake her up. I called mother's name repeatedly but mother did not waver waver.I shake her body still did not want to wake up. I finally got tired of being alone and just let her sleep in front of the TV.

Before I go back to my room. I went into my mother's room first to get a blanket. After that, my mother's body covered with her blanket because I was afraid she would catch a cold. As upset as I was at my mother's never fair attitude to me, she was still my mother. A mother I have to respect and love.

The voice of Adzan. I blinked my eyes slowly and sat down on the bed. I saw Zain still sleeping soundly with a position attached to the wall. I just let the important thing not be on the edge of the bed. After that, I rushed out of my room to fetch water. I saw you still sleeping in front of the TV. The blanket I put up last night had already slipped off her body. Just about to put her back up mom squirms. I undo my intentions because I'm afraid you'll get angry if disturbed.

In the morning when I was back and forth in and out of the house carrying a winnow filled with wet crackers made by me last night to be in the sun, my mother shouted calling me. I immediately put the winnow on the flower fence and then digopoh gopoh approached the mother in the TV room.

"What's wrong, ma'am?" ask me with a fast racing heartbeat. I was shocked to hear mom's screams of fear what happened to her because she slept outside the room last night.

"What's up. Why didn't you wake me up last night? you purposely let me sleep outside to be a mosquito meal huh Nur?" accuse mom of me with chest up and down holding anger.

"Look at my hand there are a lot of mosquito bite marks. What if I get malaria?are you glad to see I'm sick so you can be free?" accuse my mother again.

"You are indeed a child of disobedience as parents when letting your own mother be a mosquito meal. You don't care about your own mother anymore, Nur?"

I took a deep breath and then exhaled. In addition to neutralizing my heartbeat, I held my emotions back from my mother's accusations.

"I've woken up repeatedly but I still don't want to wake up. Do I have to pull my mom rough so she'll wake up? if you think I don't care about you, then the blanket at your feet who took it if not me? it can't be a ghost, right? I said with an elevated voice.

Mother glanced at the blanket that was in the eyes of her feet and then snorted." Already ah, long time lazy to argue with you."

That's my mom. Even though wrong still does not want to be blamed and always feel right. The gang is huge.

"what are you, Nur?" ask my mother who is cooking rice with soy sauce for my child to eat.

"You're still feeding Zain the same soy sauce his egg mother ate last night" I replied with annoyance because my son had to eat with soy sauce again. I went to a nearby stall to buy eggs but the stall I was going to was closed.

"Even, weigh the eggs you just have a problem. just buy again in many stalls."

I just kept quiet and went to Zain who was playing alone in the TV room.

"Buy me porridge first Nur, I'm hungry. It's your own fault why you don't want to cook." said mom arrived when I just wanted to feed Zain to eat.

"What I want to cook Mom, there's no food I can cook."

"Yes you think cake, why should I keep shopping."

"Because mother herself holds all her crackers' money."

"At least you're shopping with your money sent to your husband."

"Did you forget in one week who's shopping? even the crackers I bought. Keep the money from the crackers kept? not already our agreement the benefits of crackers to eat together is not to be stored alone or given to a favorite child?" Syndicate me with annoyance.

"Much of your talk, Nur, the Supri will say he will also be behind it again." Again mother defended bang Supri.

"Ck, from ancient times said it was always minjam but in fact until now has he ever returned all the money he ever borrowed including my money as much as twenty million?"
