The flashback

**************

Nawang was astonished when the security guard contacted him via aiphone if there was a courier delivering a package for him.

He was very sure the courier was wrong because he never delivered an order.

But as he was going to the security guard post, a message came in. From Richard.

There will be a delivery of fried duck. Please accept without protest. Titip for your son......

Nawang nodded in disbelief.

It was Richard's behavior.

With a heavy heart Nawang replied to the message.

Yep. Thanks though. Just got the shipment at the security guard post.

Nawang rushes to the security guard post to receive a shipment from Richard, for his son.

Unknowingly Nawang's heart smiled.

And at the security guard post had been waiting for a young man with a jacket bearing the resto where he had lunch.

"Bu Nawang huh?" ask the young man politely.

"Yes right." answered Nawang.

"We're delivering a shipment for mom. Please check first for the order of two packages of fried whole jumbo ducks" said the young man.

"I have accepted. Thank you, Mas." said Nawang as he stretched out a piece of ten thousand unruk tips the young man.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I can't take it. We were ordered not to accept a tip from the mother" the young man said politely.

"Why?" tanya Nawang astonished.

"We've received too many tips to deliver this order until it's received by the mother" the young man replied honestly.

Nawang smiled understandingly.

"Oh OK, all right. Thank you very much" said Nawang with a smile amused to imagine the intelligence of what was done Richard to make sure the fried duck received.

Don't-don't he make a contest for this orderanterin, the inner kekeh Nawang.

"I'm sorry, ma'am." said the young man then rushed up the bike with the box in his bonnet.

"Tumben mbak Nawang order food." greet the security guard with a smile.

"Everytime,Sir. Make a child." replied Nawang with a smile as it passed.

He had to leave immediately before being asked what the price of the fried duck package was.

You can be sure he will be confused to answer it, right? he does not know the price of fried duck.

"What's the matter, Ma'am?" nayla asked in amazement when Nawang entered the room with a cardboard box that was seen from behind the crackle bag that Nawang brought.

"Fried ducks." replied Nawang briefly as he re-occupied his seat, which was in front of Nayla's desk.

"Get the hand?" ask Nayla again. Still curious about the origin of the fried duck.

"Yes." answered Nawang again.

The fruit of the hand from him, the inner kekeh of Nawang.

Flashback off

**************

"Mom, isn't fried duck expensive?" ask Bintang after they came from the house bude Darmi sent four pieces of fried duck results keikhlasan Bintang.

Bude Darmi is a distant relative of Nawang who lives next door to his house.

Bintang's baby was raised by her during Nawang and her husband's work.

Coincidentally, Bude Darmi has not been blessed with a baby in his marriage that has been 17 years.

So the presence of Bintang in the days is very pleasing to the hearts of Bude Darmi and her husband.

They both loved the Stars very much and regarded the Stars as their own children.

Therefore from the beginning they refused to be given money for Star parenting services. And it makes Nawang not feel good actually.

But many times also bude Darmi reassured Nawang that they were very happy to be asked by Nawang to babysit Bintang every day and asked Nawang not to be unkind to them.

"We are even very grateful to you because the Star is a consolation for us. We promise to treat and consider the Bintang and to educate him like our own son" said Bude Darmi at the time.

"It's more expensive than fried chicken. And that sells not as much as fried chicken sellers as well. Why?" asked Nawang while looking at the face of the Star.

"No papa." replied the Star after seeming to think for a moment.

"When if you have more money, you buy fried ducks" said Nawang with a smile.

He knows, the Stars would want to talk about it, but maybe the Stars are afraid of his reaction later.

Yes, Nawang realized that sometimes he reacted creepily to answer the wishes of the Star which is actually a cheap desire for others, but it was enough to disrupt the smooth economy for Nawang.

"Asiii.kk.....! When's Ma?" ask the happy stars.

"If you have more money. Mom said that. So I can't promise when. No papa, huh?" tanya Nawang persuaded the Star.

Nawang caught a disappointed look then resigned to the plain face even for a moment.

And Nawang felt pain and sadness to see it.

Forgive your mother, son. Really sorry.

"No papa. If the money is not enough to buy fried duck, buy fried chicken just not papa, Mom. The important thing is to have eaten, already know the taste. Like I said first." said the Star finally with his carefree.

In fact he comforted himself saying that to his mother.

The economic situation of his parents made the little boy was accustomed to face 'rejection' for his wishes that were actually trivial and not luxurious.

Nawang smiled bitterly in his heart.

He had told Bintang not to whine about asking his mother for expensive snacks.

When his mother had more money, his mother promised without asking for stars would be bought.

And Nawang did keep that promise.

He would buy a contemporary snack for Bintang when he got overtime though not often.

However, he did not want his son to look lacking and I worked among his friends.

"You pray yes, mother and father can wind down more so you can get a good snack" said Nawang soft and sad in heart.

"Yes." replied the Star with his composure.

"The fried duck for tomorrow is not stale, Mom?" ask the stars to worry.

"No. Later we keep it in the refrigerator and tomorrow the mother fry again for a little while. Do you want to make breakfast tomorrow?" ask Nawang.

"Yes. It's really good, Mom! Boss, you're rich, Mom?" ask Bintang while following Nawang who chose to sit in the amben in front of his house.

"The name of the boss must be rich. Why?" ask Nawang.

"Tomorrow if it's big I also want to be a boss, let it be rich. If I'm rich, I can buy whatever I want, don't bother mom, don't wait for mom to have money first" said Bintang innocently.

"Mother pray you will be a kind and generous boss, son" said Nawang really.

Yes, all mothers will really pray for every good for their children, right?

"Kayak boss Mommy?" the star looked at his mother's face.

"No. But you have to be better than your boss." replied Nawang with a smile.

"But the boss is good. I'd like to buy you fried duck." protested the Star.

Nawang chuckles.

"It's not just fried duck, or any other food, honey. Goodness, we can make others happy and happy with what we give or what we do. You help others is also good.you are not naughty, it is also good because it makes mothers happy." said Nawang softly.

The stars were silent and listened intently to all the words of her mother.

He always kept in his memory all the advice of his mother.

Yes, he wants to be a good boy so that his mother is happy and not sad.

The boy often caught wet Nawang crying silently and chose not to ask his mother because he felt she was the cause of his mother grieving to tears.

And the Star always thinks which of his deeds makes his mother sad.

"Mom.." call the stars to his mother slowly and fearfully.

"Yes?" reply Nawang after waiting for Bintang did not also continue his speech.

"I'm naughty, huh? I keep making mom sad, huh?" asked the Star quietly while leaning her head on her mother's arm sadly.
