Ms. Laksmi came to Ira's room, intending to call her daughter for dinner, but Iaksmi heard Ira's complaints before God. Ms. Laksmi paused her intention to call Kra, she leaned against the front wall of Ira's room.
" O Allah Nduk, it turns out that you have been very depressed, facing people who always scorn you, forgive fathers and mothers who cannot give you life like your friends." Mumbled Bu Laksmi, he shed tears in his eyes remembering the struggle of Ira, who always looks strong in everyone's eyes but turns out he is very fragile.even he does not care about his happiness, for the sake of helping the needs of the family, and the, Ira doesn't even care about her own appearance.
Mr. Budi Ira's father saw his wife he approached Ms. Laksmi and patted her on the shoulder.
"Astagfirullah, god willing sir, can dislodge the mother's heart." Answer Ms. laksmi.
"Mother why, he said he wanted to call Ira, it has been waiting for Nila and her children, the children's love is hungry" said Mr. Budi.
Ms. Laksmi wiped her tears she knocked on Ira's door slowly, and the temple didn't hear everything.
"Sir, Ir let's eat, it's pity sister sister is hungry." Call Laksmi.
" Not ma'am!."Answer Ira. He immediately took off his face and wiped his tears, tidied himself and then headed to the middle room there father, mbak Nila and her two children were waiting, while the mother came out with a row of warm sweet tea.
They started dinner with a very simple menu, tofu lodeh, and boiled vegetables, there are fried tempeh side dishes only for small children.
" So Ira's mom has been hungry for a long time." Said iwan the second child mbak Nila.
Nila is the wife of Ahmad.
I'm sorry, brother, today my prayers are a bit so long ago Ira." Ira comforted her nephew.
"Mbak Ira prayed Iwan's father didn't, so he could go home soon?" Ask Iwan honestly and polos.
"Of course, I pray for everyone, Mr. Iwan, too, to come home and be with us again." Ira answered, he lifted Iwan's body on his lap, and smeared his nephew's bully cheek
" Let's eat, he said hungry!"
They immediately took each other's plates and ate dinner together voraciously.
After helping to clear things up, Ira helped Father and Mother, tie the vegetables that will be sold tomorrow morning to the market.
that night Ira often daydreamed and often misaligned the vegetable. Mr. Budi wanted to reprimand his daughter, but prevented by ma'am laksmi, he coded her husband to be quiet.
It was only after Ira entered his room that Laksmi's mother followed Ira.
"Sir, what are you thinking, look at your feet hurt you don't know, sandals are out of nowhere." Ms. Laksmi approaches Ira while carrying an ointment for the wound on Ira's leg.
Ira hugged him tightly.
" Mom what's wrong with living in the village, what's wrong if I'm just a farmer, what's wrong if our lives are right?" Ira was not strong enough to hold it himself, all this time he kept silent, and did not care about the words of people, but somehow that night everything broke in his mother's arms.
"Hiks hiks, Ira can work in the city, Ira wants to help the father to free Mas Ahmad, pity Iwan and Fian they are small and need a father figure. Ira also felt sorry for Nila ma'am, she was away from her parents and husband, hik hik" said Ira.
"Indeed you want to work where nduk, the city is very big and life there is very hard, are you strong?" Ms. Laksmi made sure of everything before it was too late.
" God willing ma'am, Ira must be strong, believe in Ira, Ira will take good care of Ira ." Ira said making sure his mother, this time was determined to go to the city to complain about his fate there.
"Do you know your purpose?" Ask Laksmi.
"Susi's brother works as a maid in Jakarta, he said he will come home tomorrow Ira will talk to him" Ira replied.
"Holy means, yes he does work in Jakarta and already has a rice field, even recently bought a cow, reportedly his employer is very good to him." Ms. Laksmi chimed in on her daughter's statement.
" Mommy will talk first with the father and Saints, hopefully in the place where the employer has a job, so you have to supervise" said Mother.
" Thank you mom." Ira hugs her mother back, she is determined inwardly to be successful in the city later.
" Yes, you treat the wound first and sleep" said the next mother, Miss Laksmi came out of the restroom and returned to her room.
Sunday There was a reunion in the mother's family.
They all came, it happened that my mother's brother, including the successful citizens, he had a fairly large rice field. The family of Ms. Laksmi taunted them for being among the poorest of all.
" Eh dik laksmi to, definitely not at home, understand," said maya wife of sister Laksmi.
" Thank God we had breakfast" replied the mother.
" Oh, boiled cassava, or cassava leaves." Ejek budhe from the city.
" Eh look at their clothes, they're really tacky and you're Budi, it's a family reunion, not going to the rice fields or the market, you can't buy clothes for your wife and kids." The other insinuations.
" Eh, you better feed my goat back there, then you can eat good, free too." Said Laksmi's sister
You feel not accepted by their humiliation, and feel his pride as the head of the household stepped on the step of his wife's brother.
" I'm sorry, brother, we came here because you invited us, not for free, we were poor but I never taught my family to ask for it, sorry we have to go home and never invite Laksmi again if only for you to be embarrassed, remember the wheel of life continues to spin, so never feel proud of our current state because tomorrow or the day after tomorrow can all turn upside down." I was emotional and brought my wife, children and grandchildren home.
"Correct, poor are arrogant, that is what keeps you poor and undeveloped" said Laksmi's brother
" Sir, I'm sorry for taking us all there."I feel guilty for everything.
" It's mom, it's okay, next time we don't have to come to the event if the goal is just to show off their wealth.
