The Suffering of the Raised Child
Chapter 52.

Mama Clara took Mahalini to one of the biggest malls in the city, after the clothes were ordered. It is also impossible that Mahalini came to the Mall with a sarong cloth and also a muffled T-shirt, it is very strange.

Mahalini brought to the store clothes and also other work equipment, ''Sorry Madam, I can help,'' asked very employees who are friendly with Mama Clara, while with Mahalini he was arrogant.

''I want to find clothes for my daughter-in-law, find the best, '' replied Mama Clara who understood with the gaze of the store employees, who understood, while Mahalini who has often been underestimated by others is just ordinary.

''Why sweetheart? do you not like the same clothes that are here, '' asked her a little loudly, so that the clerk could hear Mama Clara's words.

''Lini just want to buy shoes Ma, clothes Line bought Mas Devan also many Lini do not wear, ''' answered plain, he replied plain, though Mama Clara only wants to leave the store that has demeaned her daughter-in-law, only with a simple appearance can someone insult others just like that.

''We better go to the store next door,'' invite Mama Clara by holding Mahalini's arm.

The employee was just cengo' to see the departure of two people that he had underestimated. ''You should be more polite again know no, do not need to be cynical like that same buyer, ''' reprimanded one of the friends who also worked at the store.

''Yes the time I have to be nice with a raspy, '' he said in a tart tone.

''If the manager of this store knows your behavior like that, can you be fired from here, ''' one friend also remembers the friend, but what is the power? her arrogant attitude will never change just because of the reprimands of her two friends who are the same workers, while the girl who feels herself the prettiest and also the sexiest in this store, is the favorite of the store manager, so the talk of his friends is only considered garbage by the employee.

''Indeed you are the manager's favorite employee, but make the store quiet buyers will not experience bankruptcy later, ''' continued one of his friends who was bored to see the behavior of his friend.

''Alright, let them go and I won't be too tired of serving that rich-assisted woman either,'' answer her ketus and pass away leaving the three friends who are still pecking in her place.

''If this continues, we will not get our salary anymore, while I really need the salary to be sent to the village, said one of the store employees with a little slow.

''You are patient, there must be a way later, '' a friend patted his shoulder very slowly, so that he could be sincere in accepting the ordeal.

Mama Clara and Mahalini walk into a shoe store, looking for a shoe size for the daughter-in-law. ''You choose just choose first, Mama want to go to the toilet for a while?'' pamit Mama Clara by leaving Mahalini alone in the store.

''You find out what Sis,'' asked the official who was approaching Mahalini.

''I want to find Sak sneakers, can show me where his place is, '' said Mahalini kindly.

''Let's follow me Brother, here are many choices of sneakers that you ask, '' replied the employee no less friendly than before.

''I'm sorry Brother, there's nothing cheaper than this?'' ask Mahalini by holding the shoe in her hand.

''There was, over here, sis, '' said with a knotty smile on her lips, the clerk also understood, Mahalini could not possibly buy expensive shoes even if it was all the money from her husband.

''Sister is still in college or has worked, '' asked the official when he saw the appearance of Mahalini.

''Alhamdulillah, I have worked, and also college kak, yes itung to buy lecture equipment and also eat Kak, '' Mahalini replied by showing a row of white teeth to the employee.

''Good dong Kak, I also actually want to work and also college, but the time cannot be, so just work now, ''' replied the beautiful woman who works at the shoe store.

''Maybe next time you can go to college, '' said Mahalini gave encouragement to the employee.

Almira who saw Mahalini in the Shoe Shop immediately approached just to humiliate her.

''The poor sok so'an go into this store, don't be pretentious to be people,'' exclaiming Almira made some customers who were there staring towards Mahalini and also the employee who was serving Mahalini.

''Better to the market just there, you where there is money to buy shoes in this store, or do not you want to turn over yes, ''' Almira began to insult Mahalini, as if she had no shame Almira acted like a man who had no ethics at all, no ethics she had, no matter she would not have it.

Mahalini who is insulted just silence, because it is useless even though Mahalini reciprocates the treatment of Almira, Almira will not feel satisfied before making people in front of him uprooted and also embarrassed.

''Okay, brother?'' answer the clerk and immediately bring the shoes of choice Mahalini to the cashier table.

Because Mama Clara has not returned to the store, Mahalini issued the money that Devano had given to her.

Almira screeched in annoyance, when she saw Mahalini dwngan hastily left after paying her. One of the friends who came with Almira was shocked, with the attitude of Almira who was addressed to Mahalini.

''Why are you even acting like that to Mahalini, isn't she your sister?'' his speech with a frown, because he did not understand the attitude of Almira just now.

''Who said he was my friend, only a fool admitted that the woman was my brother, only Farel was not Lini, Lini was just a child who was dumped by his parents in a garbage dump!!'' reveal it with an increasingly arrogant tone in front of people who accidentally see it.

''After all, if you hear that kind of talk, your head becomes dizzy. Should we go to the restaurant? my stomach has also been asked to fill, cut it in a flat tone. Almira's friends actually already know it all, but Almira always repeats the story every time she meets Mahalini, making her feel embarrassed when traveling with her haughty friend, who else if not Almira.

Out of the shoe store, Mahalini looked in all directions to see who knew her mother-in-law had come out of the toilet. Mahalini who was walking backwards accidentally hit a middle-aged man, so that making the phone in his hands fell to the Mall floor, Mahalini who was surprised immediately turned his body, and the phone he held fell to the floor, for a moment staring at the flat object that fell on the Mall floor.

''Sorry sir, I didn't mean it, '' he said by grabbing a flat object that was under his feet.

As Mahalini crouched down to pick up the cell phone on the floor, a necklace she was wearing came out of her shirt, revealing to a man in front of her.

''Sorry sir, if the phone is broken let me change it, '' Mahalini said looking at the phone he took from the floor dead.

But the middle-aged man in front of him did not respond to Mahalini's words, he just stared intently at the necklace that Mahalini was wearing now. 'Maybe I saw it wrong and may have misidentified the necklace, but it doesn't rule out the possibility, it's my gift necklace just yet,' his mind raged to think of the necklace that had been worn on the neck of the princess before she was kidnapped.

''Sir, forgive me? I can change your phone, said Mahalini once again, so that the daydream of the middle-aged man just froze.

''It's okay, it's okay, I can fix this? after all you are looking for who so do not see the way, asked the man, trying to continue being nice in front of him, while his gaze still continues to stare at the necklace and pendant in Mahalini wear.

Yes, the necklace was always Mahalini wear, after Papa Setiawan gave her right in the heart of his marriage with As many as a month ago, Mahalini himself was still curious about the necklace he was wearing, and he was still very curious about it, because it never found in the Jewelry Store or in the online store though, so Mahalini did not want to let go of the necklace given by the father one month ago.

''Darling, are you here? mama was looking for you in the shoe store, but Mama did not meet and said the employee there you have left, said Mama Clara who suddenly came just like that.

''Yes Ma, Lini just bought these shoes, ''' he replied, trying to smile in front of the in-laws, actually in Mahalini's heart felt fear because it had damaged the middle-aged man's phone.

''Excuse me, ''' break up the middle-aged man, then leave just like that, without waiting for an answer from Mahalini.

''Who is dear, kayaknya very flat face, '' exclaimed Mama Clara who is still staring at the middle-aged man who has gone far.

''Lini broke her phone, just now when Lini looked around the store to look for Mama's whereabouts, Lini accidentally hit the Father, and her phone fell to the floor, when Lini took it? his phone is dead, Mahalini replied honestly, although honestly it always makes tightness in the chest, but only honesty can make a person want to go forward, not backwards, he said, like a rice farmer who keeps retreating backwards.
