The Neglected Pearl
Part 128 Nightmare

Hearing Retno speak, Hermawan so laugh amused, he apparently managed to trick his wife who was great.

“Rasain you Ma, that's why if so Mother is good, do not be evil and cruel,” said Hermawan held back his laughter.

That night when everyone was asleep, someone came knocking on the outside door, Retno who listened to him trying to wake her husband.

“Pa, wake. Outside it looks like someone is knocking on the door.”

Knocking door? Who knocked on the door anyway, Ma?”

“Mama also don't know Pa!”

“Ah let only the most also beggars who ask for alms.”

“But he didn't stop knocking on his door Pa, let's hunt we see.”

“Ah, Mama ajalah, Papa is very sleepy nih.”

“Mama is afraid Pa, Mama does not dare, later if a robber comes how?”

“Yes, let's see!” take Hermawan while holding his wife's hand.

After Hermawan opened the door of the house slowly, it was true that outside there were four beggars who were dressed shabbily, as well as his two young children, they're like hoping for something in Hermawan and Retno.

Seeing the four beggars raise their hands, Retno became so angry that she pushed the four beggars down.

Hermawan who saw his wife was so cruel, immediately angry and slapped Retno's face to the point.

“You are indeed Devil Ma's heart, why do you push them, if you don't have money or something you will give, just say fine to him! Don't be so rude!” snapped Hermawan to his wife.

“So he's dirty Pa, get dirty again, bring tau disease!”

“But that's not the way, you can talk softly, don't push like that!”

“Aaah, it's up to Papa!” retno was upset.

Then Hermawan helped the four of them stand up, then the four beggars left simultaneously, Hermawan who saw them go without bringing anything, and Hermawan again called them all.

“Sini! You only have this money, you take it and buy food?"

When the money broke in the twenties, two pieces to the beggar's hand, Retno immediately snatched one sheet, so that the money was only one more sheet.

“Many!” retno replied with a sharp tone.

“How much do you mean Mama, there are four Ma, so only buy rice four packs.”

“Why should four packs of Pa, his two children will be able to care for his parents, remember Pa! if we give money more kemereka, later they can be lazy to work, Sukanya just beggar.”

“Mama it if you are a person, do not be cruel lah.”

“What a cruelty, look, his body is still strong, look at this his hands are still stocky, why not find a halal job for the wife's child, no need to beg to know, but,” Retno said while holding the man's hand.

It was then that the man's hat suddenly fell, and Retno saw for herself that the beggar was his own son Niko with his wife and two daughters.

“Hah, Niko!” retno shouted while hugging his son.

Niko was silent, when her Mama's soft hands touched her body, only Retno noticed there were clear droplets falling on both cheeks.

“Force Mama son, forgive Mama,” said Retno sobbing.

Seeing his wife crying Hermawan immediately woke his wife, Hermawan tried to shake Retno's body until he woke up.

“What's up?” ask Retno wonder.

“Mama dream yes.”

“Iya, Pa.”

Retno was just silent, because she was embarrassed to answer him, if she talked about her dream, surely Hermawan laughed at her, for that, Retno did not want to open her mouth about the dream.

“No, Mama is just a ghost dream Pa,” replied Retno lying.

“That's why, if sleep is read do’a.”

“Good Pa,” replied Retno while pulling the blanket, until it closed part of her body.

Seriate...

*Welcome to read*

When closed his eyes, Retno still imagined the face of the beggar, the face of his favorite son who asked for mercy on his own biological mother. No tears of Retno flowing wet his pillow.

The details of the clear water, one by one dripping down his pillow, Retno looked so sad considering her dream.

“I'm a cruel and evil mother, I even have the heart to rob my own son's house, surely Niko is so angry to see my behavior, Retno's inner” is sad.

In the morning, after Retno woke up, she cleaned her entire room scattered, suddenly she saw a small package of hers that was in her car

“Yeah! turns out this is what I was looking for, apparently falling under the bed. Oh thankfully, the profit is not lost,” said Retno reopened the package she got.

After checking, it turns out all her jewelry is still intact in the package.

“What should I give it back, same Intan,” thought Retno at that time. “If I return it, he will still have capital to sell and Niko will not be a beggar like the one in my dream.”

After Retno thought carefully, that morning before leaving to teach, she took the time to stop by the house of her favorite son Niko.

His car was parked in front of the restaurant, because it was still morning, Retno was forced to wait near her car until the door of the restaurant was opened.

Aida who first appeared, looked in wonder at Retno who was standing alone near her car. Retno did not press her, she seemed to be acting indifferent at that time.

“What's up? why early in the morning has been monitoring the house of Neng Intan, want to maling ya?”

Retno was silent, she did not respond to Aida's words, although it was very painful, because Retno realized, if the goal came to Niko's house only to return all the jewelry that had been stolen from Intan.

For Retno, the jewelry must be not how much left, but the jewelry can still be made capital to evoke his business that has been slumped. Retno was really afraid, if Niko fell poor and became a scavenger and begging alms to people's homes.

Aida who went straight into the restaurant, immediately told Intan and Niko, if outside there was Retno waiting for her.

“Where does Buk’e?” tanya Intan wants to know.

“Tuh, in front of restaurant, neng.”

At that time Niko looked at Intan, he was so confused, whether his mother wanted to do good or vice versa, his eyes invited a very doubt, Niko needed certainty from his wife.

“Where dear, met or not!”

“Meet aja, Bang, it is not good to ignore your own parents.”

“Let's he want to do evil how?”

“I'm sure anyway, no matter how bad Ms Retno is, she definitely won't hurt her own son.”

“Alright, will you meet him.”

“Quiet and beware.”

“Good darling.”

After a while of waiting, Retno finally saw the presence of Niko in front of her, Retno did not speak a word, in just looking at her Son's face with a sad feeling.

Retno's heart was as sliced as it was, as painful as she felt, eager for Retno to hold her son gently and she would not let go again even a single inch.
