WHAT ABOUT ME?

WHAT ABOUT ME?
Workup


Five minutes after I walked home, Yuda had returned and stopped his bike right in front of me, he fell sweetly and then immediately turned back the bike.


"let me take you home, my mother is still talking to others" he explained without asking.


I immediately climbed into the back seat, because to refuse was impossible because surely Judah would force.


"thank you, Yud, for a few weeks you have been very good with me" I said sincerely, the motor drove slowly towards my house.


"just relax Jas, the name is also the same as you have to help each other, besides we are also neighbors, although not deket anyway" he replied.


this is what I love about Yuda, he doesn't wear fur to be friends with anyone.


Arriving home, Yuda immediately said goodbye because he did not want to make his mother wait at school.


after saying thank you and Yuda disappeared from sight, I immediately went in to see mother inside.


"assalamu'alaikum, mother. "greet me when I open the door.


"wa'alaikumsallam, the mother in Jasmin's kitchen" replied the mother from the kitchen.


I said Jefri's schoolbag on the living room table, which means he's home and probably eating with mom in the kitchen.


I shook my head to see the habit of my sister like that. "the habit of going home from school is not directly in this bag, I hidin and just knew the taste of that child" I muttered while keeping Jefri's bag in my mother's room.


after I finished changing clothes, I approached my mother and Jefri in the kitchen.


"mother has eaten? " ask me to sit in the dining chair.


"already, your sister asked for a bribe, so all you mothers have lunch"


I nodded then took the plate and spoon on the plate rack.


"mother plans to sell all our cows" said mother arrived.


I who was spooning rice into the plate stopped and turned to look at my mother.


"why arrived mom, is not that the legacy of the father that we must guard? "


"yes mother knows that, but our current condition does not allow sis, especially in a moment you will continue school again, definitely need a lot of biays"


"it will still be another year, ma'am, let it be first, later if as we really do we sell it, if now it is better not first, then, I don't think too much of Jasmin to set everything up"


"for Jasmin school later, if Jasmin can not continue any problem, the important thing is that mother and Jefri are not burdened.do not burden all the problems in the mind of mother, later mother can be sick" I said.


to be honest, I don't want anything bad to happen because my mother thinks too much, the departure of my father in a few weeks has made my health decline, I don't want if my problems are also my mother to mind to make it back drop.


"well, mother according to what you said sister" said mother later.

The school holiday has arrived, I use 2 weeks off this time to work because the mother has reduced the number of customers who will sew because of her declining health and it makes our income reduced.


if the father used to work every day and bring home sustenance, now we live by relying on mother's savings and results from sewing.


this morning I was ready, after finishing breakfast I rushed to visit my neighbor's house which is said to be located, because he was in need of cleaning services and cleaning the house.


"mom, Jasmin is leaving now yes let him not be late in his return" said my message to the mother who was in the sewing room.


"yes, my brother, the spirit of his work, sorry mom for not being able to make you and your sister happy" said Mother


yesterday I just told my mother if I was going to work, at first she did not approve and even strictly forbid when I asked permission to work, but because a little seducing and trying to finally mother agreed, she agreed, besides, my job is only to clean the house and wash rub, which is what I usually do myself.


ms. Parni, the famous middle-aged woman who is also wealthy in my village, two days ago I accidentally met her at a crossroads when I was about to return from the market


seeing his hassles I finally tried to help him, apparently he also just returned from the market and indeed deliberately went home by motorcycle taxi, but not yet home, motorcycle tires motorcycle ojeknya deflated, and, finally he chose to walk to his house not far from the intersection.


I immediately approached and helped bring her groceries.


it turned out that her domestic assistant was on leave because her husband was in hospital, it made Ms Parni finally shop at the market alone.


with a lot of consideration I finally offered to be a temporary helper in her house while waiting for her art to return.


without guessing he immediately agreed to my offer because he was quite a hassle if doing everything himself especially now his age is no longer young.


I smiled at my mother and then stroked her fingers. "Jasmin did not feel burdened ma'am, precisely Jasmin felt useful, at least during Jasmin school holidays, Jasmin can help ease the burden of mother"


"then Jasmin departs now ma'am, the day is getting late because Parni is waiting for Jasmin because he did not come" said I


"yes already, good work there brother, do not disappoint Miss Parni. "mom's message.


I nodded, after saying goodbye and peeping at my mother's hand, I hurried to go to the house of Miss Parni whose house was about 400 meters from my house.


***


I arrived at the white-level house that is not so big, after knocking and saying greetings, finally the door was opened, Miss Parni greeted me with a smile.


"finally you came Jasmin, our mother you did not come" said Ms Parni


"iya ma'am, sorry because on the first day Jasmin worked, Jasmin even had bad luck" said I


"it's okay, your work is also relaxed really not in the rush of time as well, yes already come in, mom will explain some of the work that you will later do" take her by pulling my hand to bring her into her house.
