THE SANDWICH
Novi

Novi is dividing his salary for the purposes at home.

Since he worked part-time teaching English to his children his income has increased.

He can now save a little for the preparation of his sister's college fees.

" Are you sure you're not tired if your vacation time is used to teach children's courses? " Mother said when Ara was about to go to teach.

" Don't be tired Mom, my energy will be a lot so it must be channeled. I left first Ma'am "Ara kissed his mother's hand and went on an orange super fit motorcycle.

Mother stared sadly at the only girl who was forced to become the backbone of the family after their father died.

Novi's father was a successful lawmaker. Their condition used to be very excessive.

Father is also the figure of the head of the household who is very responsible and gentle to his wife and children.

In his home, Novi had several housemaids hired so that the mother did not do the housework.

Since marrying Dad, Mom never did homework because Dad forbade it.

She was treated like a queen in the family.

But that was what later backfired for their families.

Father's sudden death after playing tennis made all family members feel lost.

The mother who never worked and was always treated like the Queen was powerless to be the head of the household.

I can't work in an office and I can't start a business either.

The treatment of the father who always pamper the mother makes Mother a female figure who is unable to do anything.

From the many relics of the father, ranging from a few houses, some land, some gold and even savings in the bank can not save them.

To finance the lives of his children, every year Mother sells the relics of the father. At first I sold cars, land, houses, gold and some other valuables.

Dad's family was even angry with mom because Mom couldn't keep the father's relics.

Finally, of all the relics of Father, all that remains is this simple house. The last house you bought, which was originally going to be given to their private driver who worked dozens of years on their family.

But because of the sudden death of Father, Father has not had time to give the house to Mr. Imin and so now they and their families occupy a house that was not for them.

I never tried to find a job or start a business.

So no wonder within fifteen years all the relics of Father Ludes were sold.

Novi as the first child in his family felt he had to finance this family. He did not want his sister not to go to college.

So from High School Novi has taught English, selling cellphone cases, selling pulses, and other jobs that make money.

Because from a small age Ka has worked, now if there is any work gap will certainly take Novi.

Novi Doesn't Hate her mother, because for her to take the place of Father is a very difficult job.

Especially at that time Novi still had a grandmother who had a stroke so that the mother had to take care of the grandmother until the End of her life.

From Monday to Friday he worked at an orange company in Jakarta. On Saturdays and Sundays, he takes a side job as an English teacher.

Of all the work, he was able to send his sister who is now in High School.

Although not having excess money, but all this income Novi enough to finance his small family.

Once upon a time a mother who was bored because her children were always busy outside the house asking to look for activities .

" Any mother works, I'm bored at home and continue "At that time Grandma was dead.

" What do you want to work for?"

Because of his pity with his mother, Novi finally opened a food stall for children in front of his house.

There are not many snacks that they sell at the stall because of the lack of money that Novi has.

But with the stalls it makes his mother more excited.

This is the first time she has been able to make money for her family, even if it is not enough, at least to pay for electricity.

That night as usual Novi came home using the Commuter Line.

In Manggarai he saw a woman with a pale face staggering to find a seat that turned out to be full.

Novi noticed the woman, this was not the first time he had seen the woman. They met almost every day in the same car.

Although the woman never knows, because she always sleeps on the way.

The woman's face is always tired every time they meet but tonight feels different.

It was seen that the woman was holding back from fainting, as if she was sick.

Rushing Novi walked towards the woman to offer her a seat.

"Sit's in my place"

Novi pointed to an empty chair to let Ara sit in her chair, There was no rejection from the woman.

Novi standing right in front of the woman, he saw her body trembling like it was holding back hunger.

Suddenly he remembered the hamburger that was distributed earlier this afternoon in his office.

He took out a hamburger from inside his bag and gave it to the woman.

" This I have food for Mba, eaten first mbak mumpung no more officer "

Without further ado, the woman immediately ate the hamburger she was giving with greed.

It was seen that the woman had been holding back hunger for several hours. Seeing him eat alone has made Novi full.

Some questions arise in the mind of Novi, Why does this woman look hungry when when viewed from her lanyard Iya work in the Sudirman area company.

At Tanjung Barat Station there are passengers who alighted Novi directly fill the empty seat next to the woman.

Novi's hamburger was gone and the woman's face was no longer pale.

They started chatting some standard chatter. And when his cell phone rang.

On the other end of the phone he heard his mother's crying voice.

When his heart was racing, he tried to calm his mother and asked what the problem was.

" Your sister Nov "

Mom stopped and I cried again.

Patience Novi waiting for his mother to finish crying and continue his words.

" Your sister had an accident when she bought dinner for Mom. Now at Koeswara Clinic ga far from the station "Lemas it feels like hearing Mother's speech.

His mind is various, he is worried about the condition of his sister.

Three more stations will arrive at the cilebut station. Novi immediately ordered an ojek online to take him to the koeswara clinic.

After arriving at the Cilebut Station he immediately rushed out of the carriage and to the online motorcycle he ordered.

If you hear the voice of the mother who panicked it seems the condition of her sister is quite severe. On the way he could only pray that his brother would be well.
