"You guys didn't just take you to the same mall as Opa?" ask Richard.
"Snic yes, huh? I bought a toy banyaaaak. But Mas Bintang only took two" Darren said with a bang.
"Why just take two, Mas Bintang?" ask Richard.
"The price is all expensive. I didn't want to take it, but it was taken by Opa. Yes." said the star with his charms.
Richard stroked the back of his neck. Thought Nawang who looked down.
Chat all things related to money if the same they both why always mengesakin gini chest?
"What if it's expensive, then?" ask Darren kepo.
"Dear the money, can make a more important purchase" replied the Star casually.
"What's more important?" ask Darren again.
"Make rice, buy food." replied the Star again.
Fix, this is the basic teaching of his mother, inner Richard while glancing at Nawang who is now throwing a straight look at the rows of cars in front of them.
His face seemed to be holding back feelings. And Richard knew what that feeling was.
Nawang Poor.
"Tuh, my Pinter Star. We buy enough toys. Don't want to keep taking it. If you can save so, then you can save a lot. Let the money be plenty" said Richard.
"Save what, Pa?" darren asked, confusing Richard.
"Non, help dong answer!" pinta Richard was half panicked, making Nawang grimace.
Is it usually just someone?
"We are not spending our money. Do not just like, origin want, trus we immediately buy. We think first the benefits of the goods we want to buy. If we do not have the goods we remain fine, still happy, yes do not buy. We can be wasteful if we just give alms." said Nawang while positioning his seat tilted so that he could see the two leaks.
"What's the shit?" ask Darren again.
Mampus !!! I can't stop that kid, hahahaha....
"The waste is recklessly putting out money or giving away our other possessions.
But if we don't have to think long. I want to give alms. Let us have savings in the afterlife, so we can get a lot of rewards, let us go to heaven deh." replied Nawang cheerfully.
"Well that give money to the mas-mas who crossed our car, huh? Papa if you give me only one sheet. Not much." asked Darren.
Richard chuckles.
"That's one form of alms. It could be any other way too. Darren's toys that have not been used but are still good, it could be alms if Darren loves other children who want toys but can not buy." replied Nawang.
"Small good old clothes can also be alms, Mom?" ask Stars.
"Rubber!" nawang replied with a smile.
"Smile is also alms, said Ustad Beni" said the star again.
"Any right, Mom?" ask Darren again.
"Rubber." answered Nawang again.
"But the smile does not need most, it will be considered crazy, hihihi.." said Bintang while giggling.
"One more month we go to Opa's place again in no way?" asked Richard to switch the conversation.
"Oiuuuu!!!!" answer the two laps with pleasure.
"Bintang has Opa?" ask Darren.
The star stared confusedly at Nawang who was also looking at him.
"No have. All of them dead, Mom?" ask the doubtful star.
"Yes. All the stars have died. Just have Uti one in Magelang" said Nawang.
"What is that?" ask Darren confused.
"It's the same as Opa. It's like Oma." replied the Star.
"Oooooooo.....We're going to yuk's house, Pa?!" take Darren to surprise his papa.
"It's who?" asked Richard with a wry smile.
Darren's spontaneity is sometimes quite surprising.
"It's the Star. At Magelang." replied Darren with his spirit.
Richard laughs.
"Do you know where Magelang is?" ask Richard.
Darren looked at the Star with questioning eyes.
"Jauuuhu. I think we're going to Opa's house. But if you want to go to the house of Uti through a road that many rice fields. Adeeem." bright star while hugging his own body.
"We're there, Pa. Through the adem rice fields." take Darren again.
Nawang laughs with parrot and Darren.
"Horeeeeeee.....!!!! " the second cry of the leak with his excitement.
"Where do you know Uti's address?" asked Richard, chuckling.
"Mom must know." replied the Star sure.
"But I don't want to come." said Nawang kalem.
"Yaaaaahhh." sighed disappointed the three.
"Why?" ask Richard slowly.
"No papa." answered Nawang lirih. And Richard caught the voice shaking.
"But you can't promise me that next week. I fear you have work. Why not next week?" richard had to keep his promise.
"But when do we get there, Pa?" darren Pinta.
"definitely. But don't make it." ask Richard back.
"Wait for you to have money first, huh?" ask the doubtful star.
"Yes." answered Nawang quickly.
"No!" richard answered at the same time.
The two looked at each other before Nawang finally looked down.
"Wait for Papa there's free time" Richard said at last.
"Mom has money now.. .." Richard closed his lips as his glance caught Nawang's sharp gaze towards him.
"If you keep asking for Papa's money." continued Richard while chuckling.
"Broast." murmured Nawang keki.
"Facts. Proud from where?" ledek Richard with a devilish smile.
"Don't look too helpless in front of the child. Pity them." said Richard when he saw through the middle spy Darren and Bintang had returned cool toys and no longer care for them both.
"We also have to keep our authority in front of the child. Let the child know we are capable parents. Being able to make them calm, able to make them think positively that the world is good for them and their existence does not bother us." Richard continued.
"Depend on parents? No...." said Nawang did not agree with a serious face.
"That's not what I meant. I mean, make the kids believe we're gonna give them the best we can."
"I've been like that all this time" said Nawang Keukeuh.
"But your fall looks helpless in front of the Stars, dear. Want what little to wait for your payday." murmured Richard sadly.
"The reality is like that. Cook yes I have to make up for the desire of children who are sometimes magical? The child must also be informed of the reality of his life, Mas. Let's know ourselves. Let's learn to hold back." sergeant Nawang has started to pitched a bit up.
Hadeeeeeh.
"Okay, I'm sorry that I didn't feel good." Richard finally decided to step away from the debate with an apology.
Nawang did not respond, although it did not mean not to put what Richard said to his brain and heart.
Yeah, he'll have to admit. It seemed like all this time he was 'forcing' the Stars to always understand their economic state.
The little boy forced to count on finances.
The result is the Star always asks, "It's expensive isn't it, Mom?' or "Mother's money is not enough?" every time a star wants something when they're at the grocery store.
Not to mention that Bintang wants something that is actually not expensive, but he always answered with the phrase "Tomorrow yes if Mommy pays" or even more often he answered "Tomorrow when's the money left over."
"There is nothing wrong with your intention to educate children to know the situation and conditions. It looks like the result. Star so a child who can very resist the desire and patience. But you also may not be squirming, how does he look if he wants something he wants but he thinks that we are not able to give what he wants? Poor thing, Non." said Richard after a long time they kept quiet.
Nawang cast his gaze to the left.
Completely just to hide the tears that have been creek on his cheeks.
He will always remember the star's desperate eyes when he says "It's expensive, we mourn first huh?" or when the stars say "Mom don't have money to buy this?"
How weak he was as a parent.
How unlucky the Star is to have a mother like her.
Forgive your mother, son.
Please forgive.......
