You Sweet Memories In My Suffering
Chapter 5: The First Rejection

Such things often happen in his home. I don't know what made her grandmother so cruel to them.

It used to be when Kinanti and her new sister came her grandmother looked very good and received their arrival very well too.

That was what was then taken into consideration when Kinanti finally decided to stay with her grandmother because her father had to go back out of town to take care of work.

"Nana lives here, right? Nemenin Granny," persuaded his grandmother at that time.

"Yes Ki, you live with Grandma, if Auntie, same Om must serve outside the city of Grandma alone."

It was the words of the Tantenya at that time that coaxed.

"Yes Kinanti wanted to," replied Kinanti at that time without thinking.

Especially at that time Kinanti lived with her father, and also her stepmother who was very cruel. So he decided to stay with Grandma.

In his eyes all seemed fine, his father's family was like the harmonious family he had hoped for, inversely proportional to the family of his biological mother, who was always full of problems.

His father did not respond much to only ask once before he left.

"Ki, do you really want to come with Grandma?"

Kinanti was silent for a moment, "Yes, Dad."

"Yaudah if that is so, tomorrow the same father wants to go to Bandung yes, there is a problem at work Dad because."

His father was seen sighing several times that afternoon, maybe he had a serious problem at that time.

Kinanti had no other choice, because the day before Kinanti's stepmother told him her family's financial situation was not good.

The car rental that his father pioneered turned out to be out of business. His friend who has been trusted to manage his father's business was even the mastermind of the loss of many cars that are usually rented not to mention the money in the safe that was taken away.

This news was conveyed by one of his father's employees in Bandung.

Kinanti thought it was the right decision, at least she slightly reduced her father's burden if she chose to live with her grandmother.

He also intends to help his grandmother compete, also so that his grandmother is not alone in old age.

No problem for a month with her grandmother, Nana also looks very happy, because her grandmother loves her, as well as Kinanti.

Grandma taught me a lot of things like cooking, washing, cleaning the house, even how to sell, unfortunately after everyone left, Aunt and Omnya Kinanti's grandmother became a very inversely proportional person one hundred and eighty degrees.

Everyday they just work on all the homework, plus the store and the business of his grandmother.

They were treated as if they were working in that house. Grandma also does not hesitate to punish if there is a job that is not right.

It took almost half a year until finally Kinanti was able to do the various jobs that her grandmother gave her.

Of course it is not easy for him, almost every day must dwell in the kitchen preparing various dishes that will be sold by, scolding and makian never alpa every time Kinanti works ineptly.

I felt like I wanted to run away from that house, but he did not know where even his mother had never been seen looking for him after four years more no news.

"Sister, I'm a laper."

Kinanti's daydream comes to a halt as Nana returns with her replaced shirt, short shirt and shorts.

"Patience, it's coming to me soon."

Kinanti flipped the egg that she was frying.

Nana grabbed the sweet soy sauce that was at the end of the kitchen table, "I want soy sauce too, Brother."

"Byeah, what were you doing? How did you get scolded like Grandma?"

"I was told to shop, Fish ten thousand, oil 5 kg, but instead back, because I forgot," Nana told him while licking a ketchup that spilled slightly in her hand.

Kinanti could not help but laugh, "Yaampun could do it anyway. Next time on the catet just let you not forget it."

Kinanti placed a plate of rice with the egg that had been fried in front of Nana.

"Ni eat a lot, let's pinter," said Kinanti slowly scrambling her sister's hair.

"Said Bu guru, if in order to pinter have to eat four healthy five perfect Kak, this is just eating flat eggs," complained Nana made Kinanti laugh.

"Telor is also on the list of four perfectly healthy five foods."

Nana seemed to want to answer before finally heard the name of her brother called,

"Winning! Here spiel!"

"Eating a lot yes, then wash the dishes, Brother in the future used to be called Grandma."

Used to sell, trinkets and sewing sewing needs, but certainly not as complete as other convection stores because of inadequate capital.

Kinanti and Nana who took turns to keep the store, but because it is not so complete some people are lazy to buy and choose another convection store, even so Kinanti was a little grateful because the fact made her able to rest.

But it is not enough that Grandma also bought a cart without wheels positioned in front of her frame to increase income by selling Rice.

This made Kinanti unable to rest. Because selling rice preparation is very much, including the side dishes. His position in the market made his grandmother's sale quite crowded from breakfast, lunch, until the night someone arrived.

"Please shop tomorrow. The seasoning to cook is also finished all."

Her grandmother held out a grocery note that was more in length according to Kinanti than her record today.

"Oh yes, Grandma, the rice is also gone."

"New feeling a week buying rice!" His grandmother began to raise the tone in her speech, although still pulling drawers and taking fifty thousand dollars.

"Now! Buy two liters first."

Kinanti accepted and rushed away before her grandmother exploded.

Actually sometimes Kinanti's grandmother will be good, like when all work is done without any mistakes, but often his emotions suddenly come.

Kinanti was still sometimes surprised by her grandmother's high tone whenever she got angry.

Kinanti passed through each market aisle to find whatever groceries her grandmother noted, sometimes she had to squint because her grandmother's writing could not be read by her eyes.

While being focused, suddenly there was someone who blew his ears.

"So serious."

"Astagfirefull!"

The Kinanti reflex wags his ears.

"Hi," said someone who managed to surprise him with a big smile.

"Raka, I guess what the fuck was," said Kinanti still rubbing her own ears.

"Sorry, anyways you do this in the middle of the road will be hit by people you know."

Raka pointed at the people passing by where they were standing.

"It's not coming out here," said Raka pulling Kinanti's hand to cover a little from the crowd.

"It's like I was told to shop with my grandmother, but the note is not clear gini," Kinanti complained showing a piece of paper in her hand.

Raka followed the writing in Kinanti's hand, "Try, here."

Kinanti was slightly surprised as Raka, grabbed her hand to get closer.

"Oh this is dried chili," said Raka seriously staring at the line of sentences that went up and down.

Kinanti was still daydreaming watching Raka right in front of her face.

"If this, anchovies, cob, munjair fish."

"Yes fish," Chirps Kinanti.

"Huh?" Raka raised her face.

"Eh. Oh fish, yes fish. Okay I bought fish. Thank you, yes," said Kinanti misbehaved.

"Why be dazed that's you."

Raka laughed a little at Kinanti's behavior.

"Yuk together! I was also told to get my Tante to buy fish," Raka pulled Kinanti's arm.

Surely Kinanti was happy, she knew what she was feeling right now. However, it seems like this pleasure is something that cannot be allowed, anywhere Raka will have a boyfriend.

Finally after thinking for a moment Kinanti withdrew her hand.

"Raka. I want to do another shopping first. Thank you for helping me read this ambiguous note."

Kinanti smiled and waved and then passed, leaving Raka who was secretly still shocked.

Was that Kinanti's rejection of him? Raka just silently looked at Kinanti who walked quickly to disappear amidst the market crowd.
