"this afternoon shower is already Afternoon, almost Magrib "say pakde Rojak standing from his squat followed to my four sons
"mayo dear there in the afternoon shower first mumpung yet magrib "pronounced me to my four children
"ready the boss "answered them and saluted like a salute to his commander the three of us chuckled at him
"Bude Pakde Naina enter first yes want to clean up also because the sultry after the afternoon walk" I said to the two middle-aged couples
"yes, we want to clean up too" replied Mr. Rojak
"let pakde bude, assalamualaikum" I said to Pakde and Bude they answered my greetings and passed into our respective homes
no matter how long after we cleaned, the voice of Azan Magrib was heard
we also immediately perform Maghrib prayers
we prayed in the family room because there was enough space for the five of us to congregate and remain as usual the scavenger who will become our priest
after the prayer I heated up the food I had cooked this afternoon for our dinner
"Bang called his sisters to eat" I said to my aunt who had helped me in the kitchen
"iya ma" she answered and then went out to find her sisters
not how long the four of them came to see me who was waiting for them at the dinner table, they joked with each other while teasing the Little Sister who still wanted to be with her brother
"kak Attar does not want to exchange ma" Abi said when he saw me sitting at the dining table
"what exchange, baby !? let's sit down, we eat first "my mouth and they sit in their respective seats, the prophet is always sitting next to me
"let's read the prayer first baby, I don't memorize the meal prayer" said I glanced at my youngest son who soon became a brother
"memorized dong ma" he replied
Allahumma baarik lanaa fiimaa rozaqtanaa wa qinaa 'adzaa bannaar." It means: "O Allah, bless us in the sustenance which You have given us and keep us from the torment of the fire of hell."
Abi recited the meal prayer very eloquently
after praying we started to eat our simple menu tonight, there are vegetable stir-fried kale and corn paste and sambal.
I am grateful because all this time my children despite living in a luxurious house and have a rich father and family but my children have been accustomed to such simple food because it was when we lived together at the Bara house,
even though I cooked a sumptuous meal for all my husband's families, my children were never allowed to eat it because my mother-in-law told my children that their necks did not fit well with fancy food because their necks inherit my taste, so as much as possible I give them understanding if what is said by the omanya is true and if they force to eat the food of the rich like that later they will get stomach pain
once upon a time Attar protested because every day we ate different foods eaten by papa and oma opanya
but what he reaped from his protest was only the clasps and insults, indeed my mother-in-law's heart was as hard as stone and what I regretted was coal and my father-in-law did not at all fire my son who was insulted before their eyes
and from that day my children never again protested to anyone in that house
my children will only complain and ask me
I don't feel my tears dripping
"mama why ?"asked Ali who was watching me
" it's okay Aa' mama's just a "my words reasoned
"iya ma sambelnya pedes "sahut Attar chimed in my speech
"ayo finished his meal "my word
"iya ma" they answered simultaneously
after dinner, my children did not allow me to clean up all their help from cleaning the dining table to washing our used utensils
"ma tomorrow mama don't have to pick us up again ya "sap akza
"why bang?!"much
"the same kasian branch mama also dede must be a narrowness if the mama bonceng we all "Akza replied
"is it okay for you to walk to school ?! ask my two sons
"it's okay ma, some if we walk together with friends" replied Ali
"iya ma,adek same Aa' just walk ma,let alone around here many friends ade' and Aa' who also live around here
like brother Edo, kak salsa kata kak ,seno also Rafika they all live around the area here ma so if we go home with "say Abhimanyu reassured me
"are you sure, baby?!"ask me again
"sure ma" answered my four sons
"alright then, thank you baby you guys for understanding mama" I said moved
"oh yes, mama will go to the hospital tomorrow to check the deductible, so if you go home from school and mom has not gone home do not go anywhere, baby "my words told them they were afraid they would be confused looking for me when they came home and not find me at home
"yes ma" they answered
"ma what bike in the barn can not be used!?"ask Akza
"oh yes mama to forget, the bike mama has bought from om Ghani
try the same brother mas checked his bike who knows you can wear tomorrow to school" said I just remember that the Ghani mas bike in the warehouse I have bought
"really ma!?"ask them they look happy
"real darling, we'll check together "my words bring to my four children
"ayo ma" they answered
after arriving in the warehouse akza use the stairs that are also stored in the warehouse to lower the bike hanging on the wall of the warehouse using rope mine
it is quite difficult also akza lower it because his body is thin and the bike is quite heavy
akza took down the bikes one by one, which were hung apart
the children brought the two bikes in the middle of the room to clean them and check if it was still good or not
akza looked very serious about checking both bikes
"how bang, is it still good ?!"much
"good ma" answered my eldest son
"Alhamdulillah if it is still good it means you do not need to walk to school "my word
"iya ma, but adek and Aa' how ?!"ask akza
"kan Abang sama mas can bonceng adek and Aa' when leaving school and go home let mama pick up "my answer
"iya ma, right also when leaving school we together, Abang bonceng Aa' while mas bonceng Ade'
how do you agree !?"ask Akza to his sisters
"agree bang" they said and laughed happily
all the pain that was felt when Bara torekan saw the happy smile on the face of my four sons who were wasted by his biological father
"ayo dear you guys go to bed quickly so that tomorrow dawn is not difficult to wake up "my words
"yes ma" they answered
"don't forget to pray first before going to bed, brush your teeth too" I said again
"ready commander hahaha "they answered in unison and also respectfully like a team that respects its commander
their behavior looks very funny
"O Allah, my servants, ask that their smiles never fade, always give us happiness" I prayed in my heart
