THE WOMAN (END)
07•
"Obviously my age is older than Sandy," I concluded, hoping that the answer could answer the curiosity that sometimes makes me uncomfortable.
"Two? how many years exactly?! I'm 29 years old now, how many years?" ask again.
I was silent, I didn't dare to look back, but I was also upset about the question.inquiring about age to women is not a rude thing.and to be honest it makes me look very bad. Or maybe it was just my own mind.
"How much? 5 years? or 10 years?" it was half tempting.
I turned my head in annoyance, Mas Sandy immediately looked away.I knew she was trying to hide a laugh.
"It's not that old! it's only 2 years different. I'm only 31!" ketus.
"Well, that's dong. what's wrong with making it happen, really long!" sahut lightly. I walked over to the laundry basket and tidied it up.
"Sandy, why ask about age? kaya wants to make a KTP," I said without looking at him
"Hm, even though our age gap is only 2 years. but still you are older right? so from now on I call you Teteh Lis aja Gimana? nice isn't?! Teteh means sister right?" the chirping explained
I was silent for quite a while. Hearing him call me that, it felt strange to the ears and unusual.
"Mas Sandy don't be weird!" My timpal brought the laundry in my hand into the bathroom for later washing. I washed my hands and went back to the table right where Mas Sandy ate. I took an apple and peeled it.
"So, from now on Lis tea call me Sandy aja. do not need any frills 'Mas'nya. his impression I am very old. whereas the older is not Eyebrow Tea." Obviously as if giving an offer through his ridicule.
"Don't mas, let me not be ordinary, anyways want to be old or young. mas sandy will remain my employer. so yes it's okay dong I call mas. than I call 'Mister'?" I chuckled small.
Sandy was stunned to see my laughter, making me stop laughing at once. I was afraid that my laughter would touch him.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to be brave for Sandy!" Errata
"Enak yah it turns out, kalo can chat and joke this surfing. yesterday must have been tea Alis so deeply the same attitude I. Aye right?!"
"The name is the same employer, there can be no feeling of kelas mas. Anyway, we're paid for work, so, what's the sprain."
"Don't lie, I memorize the same friends who have been close to me. And on average they are indeed irritated by my stubbornness." This time Sandy ended her sentence with a hanging smile, as if missing the figure of a friend she mentioned just now.
I remember, after Mas Sandy accident I never once saw friends or relations office.not mas sandy take care of the office as well.but why employees do not want to see ya? When Sandy did not have a friend, it was impossible to feel.
"Dream again! long time that finger can follow to the tea slices.." Ledek.
I rushed to give the apple pieces to him, even though mas sandy had not finished eating.
"The soup is delicious! This will be one of my favorite soups in addition to the restaurant where I usually eat!" The compliment.
"Alhamdulilah if mas sandy like the soup." I stroked the chest in relief.
"Once again thank you tea," he concluded making me wrong behavior.
I nodded and chose to leave Sandy's mas and let her finish her meal alone.
But there is a little relief in the heart, at least the more the day God makes my work easier.for now, that's the most important thing.My work becomes smooth, my work becomes smooth, and I can spend more time with my son Andi.

Today is Sunday, a day where everyone meets recreation, shopping centers and playgrounds.but not with me, I just finished cleaning up the furniture that looks dusty. I asked Andi to help, I saw that he seemed to be busy tidying up the shoe rack located on the terrace of our house.
"Ma, we're done so we're going to go to the market?" ask Andi suddenly
"To market? why go to the market?" ask me for wonder
Andi turned to me half disappointed, maybe disappointed because I forgot a promise with him
"And my mom promised to buy Andi shoes this week.Andi shoes already bolong ma!" clearly half whining.
"Oh yes, mama forgot.yeah, kalo mama already finished us to the market ya! Andi handpicked the shoes that Andi wanted." Tukasku cheered him.
"Yes! thanks maaa" he said enthusiastically.
Almost an hour I unpacked the room and living room.I cleaned all the dust that was lodged long enough in every corner of my room.
"It finally settled too!" I sat down with a cup of warm tea in my hand, staring at the results of my work which I found very satisfying.
"May, you're ready!" Andi came out of the room wearing a white T-shirt with jeans.
"Well, handsome boy mama.try here, let mama combin her hair?" Andi approached and sat down beside me.
"Ma, you're angry if Andi asks for more shoes?" tanyanya looked at me.
"angry? no. Mama is not angry. Why Andi asked that? why?" I asked back.
I understand very well what kind of child Andi is, she has a soft heart and so feeling.she knows if I have difficulty in finding money.she realizes that,because I have to go home every afternoon tired every day.
"Later, if Andi's working. Andi change mama's money yeah!" The pressure shocked me and filled me.
I held Andi, I kissed her head deep. Andi is my only treasure, I don't want to make her cry let alone mourn her fate because it's only the son of a single mother.
"Yes, baby, mama pray that one day Andi can do a good job.the salary is great.so Andi can buy good food for mama!" I looked at a bitter smile.
Moments later, Andi and I were ready in front of the porch to go buy shoes that Andi asked for, not long before I stepped foot suddenly your phone rang. I immediately picked it up, who knows it's an important phone and sure enough, Ayu's mom called me. I looked at my phone full of questions,
"Hello ma'am, good afternoon.What's wrong mom?" manywould be surprised.
"Sorry to interrupt her Sunday, may I ask for help. today you go home huh? I want to go out of town because." pinta ma'am Ayu. very difficult request for me to agree for now.
"Today to the house? but ma'am, I have another promise with my son!" I looked at Andi who was waiting, his face even looked disappointed before I explained everything.
