Niken actually never eavesdropped on people like this before, because Niken knew this was very, very disrespectful but hearing the sound of her mother sobbing made Niken curious.
"It's still workable, right?" The sound of Mama Niken's voice came back after being silent for a while.
"What is our next fate?" Niken tightened his hand grip on the curtain cloth. Starting to think no-no, it seems like his family is being hit by problems. At the back of Niken's head, his mother was massaging the temple and was silent to listen to his interlocutor.
"Yes, let's talk about it later. Fine there. Hopefully the results don't match our bad thoughts." Before turning off the phone, Niken had seen her mother sigh tired.
Niken, who had previously been very hungry and had intended to have lunch, abandoned her intentions and turned back to the room. His mind was branching everywhere. Want to go to his mother but Niken did not dare to ask, surely his mother would not answer and would say all is well. Let her mother calm down even if Niken doesn't stop thinking.
'What's wrong with his family.'

"So grandpa was broke, ma?" ask Marsya. Marcel was leaning on Niken's shoulder with eyes that were already getting sleepy. The elucidation of Niken's hand in Marcel's hair seemed to make the boy's eyes more lulled but still his ears were still very clearly listening to his mother's story. Especially now his mother discusses about his beloved grandparents.
"Yes, grandfather's efforts were tricked equally. You sleep, it's night. Soon your papa may come home." Niken straightened the body from a position leaning on the headboard of the bed to make her children also uphold the body.
"I'm also very sleepy Ma." Marcel yawned and walked out of his mother's room with staggering steps. Marsya who is still not too sleepy accidentally nudged Marcel so that his sister more and more limp.
"Ish, what the hell, brother," said Marcel but he kept walking towards his room. I don't care about the brother who keeps cheating on him. Drowsiness seems to defeat everything.
New Niken will lay down when just finished some self-cleaning when going to sleep, heard the sound of her husband's car that just came home from the sister's house. Niken decided to go downstairs and welcome her husband home.
"Not sleeping yet?" ask the husband when Niken opens the door. Glanced at the watch that was almost showing at twelve o'clock at night.
"Wake up the sound of the car," lies Niken. Don't let her husband know Niken has just finished storytelling with her children. He may be suspicious again because he is not asked to tell a story. However, the story that Niken tells for her children is a little about the husband.
"Yuk in! It's midnight," ask husband Niken while hugging his wife's shoulder.
"What's that?" niken asked when she saw her husband carrying a small bag.
"Oh this is a meal wrapped in aunty. If you don't want to eat now, just keep it in the refrigerator, tomorrow it can be heated again."
Niken kept the food her husband brought first before following her to the room. Once in the room, her husband was ready to sleep and seemed very tired because his eyes immediately closed when he found a pillow.
Niken smiled and laid her body next to her husband. Do not forget the gratitude he always promised because he had passed the test of life and tears and had a family that was so harmonious.

"Sister, the brownie is ripe, it can be served." Niken yelled a little, ordering her daughter to serve her experiment cake this afternoon.
Marsya headed for the kitchen and brought the tempting-looking brownie plate. Papa and his sister were waiting in the living room. Today papa came home quickly, so this afternoon was already home.
"Well! It's as good as it is." Papa became the first person to taste the brownie, followed by Marcel later.
"Here's the drink, let's not drag." Niken came with a sweet cup of tea and joined her husband.
"Pa, what makes you fall in love with your mom?" Marcel suddenly asked a question that made his parents look at each other.
"Then anyway? How can it be so chatty now?" Marsya asked in wonder.
"It is forbidden to wave in front of the person directly." Niken bit the brownies a little annoyed as they immediately laughed at her chirps.
"Maybe your mama got carried away by the flow of mothers. There are no mothers who aren't fussy." Their father hugged his wife's shoulder.
"When was papa dating when mom wasn't fussy?"
"Hmm, it's not so quiet, but it's not as serious as it is now."
"Hasn't he hinted yet? If my mom doesn't want to sleep yet." Niken says pretend to be tired.
"Idih!" seductive husband Niken.
Niken wanted to reply to her husband's words but there was a greeting sounding from the front door, making Marcel move and see who the guests were coming to visit. Apparently mr. RT. Niken's husband went and met RT sir. They sit on the terrace and Niken and Marsya immediately serve their tea and brownies.
"Ma, as long as you take care of RT sir, continue again ma, the story of the grandmother and grandfather who broke," urged Marcel.
"There is no continuation anyway, because at that time grandma did not want to hurt the same mom why could go bankrupt."
"Well." yeah." Marcel said disappointedly, "Mama never tried to ask grandma?" Marcel still seems curious.
"Oh, that time-"

Everything's fine it looks like. Niken, who had just returned from Juna's house to see his condition, which was still feverish, found his mother relaxing on the porch swing of the house. Niken approached and immediately struggled spoiled.
"Ma!" Call Niken lirih.
"Hm." Mama cleared her throat and was still excited to see the vehicle passing by on the road.
"Where's dad?" ask Niken. Actually itchy mouth wants to ask directly the state of his family and the purpose of the words mama called earlier this afternoon but Niken's guts have not been as brave.
"Papa's out of town. Maybe a week later I can go home." While his mother spoke, Niken noticed the look on his face, no irregularities were found and everything still looked normal in Niken's eyes.
"Ma tumben. Mama, why not come?"
"Who do you want to know who you are?"
"I can join Bude Dewi, food in the bude place is always available." Niken gave a reasonable reason actually. Bude Dewi is the sister of Papa Niken who has a boutique business. Food in the bude place is always available all the time because it is intended for employees who work in the shop.
"Males aja mama if you come with papa just to worry about papa you work, but if you go because the streets mama must follow." Niken just put her shoulders to hear her mother's reason.
Alright, it seems like his mother has not been willing to share the difficulties with him
