Rani suddenly appears in the living room carrying drinks and food.
"What the hell, anyway? I think it's serious?" rani asked then broke the concentration of the two of them.
"No, Ren. The two of us were just chatting lightly while waiting for you to be busy in the kitchen. Once again I apologize, Ren, because my arrival here even makes you bother," Damar replied politely.
"Just drink the same snacks, really! Try tasting the balls. That's a typical original product here."
"Oh yeah? I've never had a cake like this, Ren. Last meal fitting-in"
Damar tried to remember the last time he ate the sponge cake.
"Don't say SMP, huh? It was me who brought it from home" Rani cut.
"It seems so, deh. The SMP time. As I recall that time in the music room there was already this cake. I happen to be hungry, I'm comot. It's really good, yes I took some more pieces from the plastic bag," Damar told the memory of his Junior High.
"Has right, there are friends who did not miss that time and complain to me. It turns out you spent it. Well, that's okay!"
"It's delicious. What do you buy yourself, anyway?" asked Damar while switching the direction of his mother Rani's conversation earlier which led to Damar's status now. Honestly, Damar was embarrassed to say his status back then.
"If this one's gonna buy, Mar. But, if what I often bring to school when I was Junior High was original made by my mother. Once when I was healthy, my mother was producing sponge cake to pay for my school. Understand, Mar. I've been left for a long time by my father since I entered Junior High."
"Ooooo ... Why didn't you tell me back then that you were an orphan? I guess no music boy knows."
"If you know what to do? You want to pay my school fees?"
"Yes, no, Ren. Can you apply for a scholarship to the school?"
"It's impossible, Mar."
"Kok, can that be? So many orphans I know got scholarships at that time? Moreover, at that time you actively represented the school for the race, right?"
"Now, ask my mother. He can explain it to you!"
Rani's mother looked sadly at Rani.
"His late father Reni's sister worked at the school as well. He held an important position at the time. Coincidentally, her aunt Reni did not like Reni and mother. I once wanted to ask Reni for a scholarship to school, but her aunt Reni made fun of her. Said this mother was a rich pretender to dare send Reni to school at that Junior High School. If it is not strong to finance why not go to another school. I'm embarrassed to apply for leniency or a scholarship again since then" said Rani's mother, wiping her tears.
Rani rubbed her mother's tears using the tissue she had picked up on the table.
"It has. Don't think about it anymore, Mom. We live close to them again."
"Sorry, Ren ... Ms. .. If my question just made you sad?"
"It's okay, Damar boy."
"Oh yeah, if I may know you've been sick since when?" ask Damar.
"It's been a while, Mar. About five years ago. My mother and I lived next door to my aunt. I was offered a job by Mr. Heru to join the Dangdut Alaskan music group. Yes, my mom and I are very happy. The music group was quite famous in the villages at that time. Well, for the first job I happened to have to get out of town for a week. Mom was sick at the time. I told my mom about it. I told my mother that if I didn't go, I didn't leave. But, mother gave me permission to leave. Yeah, I'm leaving, dong. But, I've nitip mom to one of the neighbors who happens to be good with my family. Well, after Mr. Heru saw my performance on the show, he was interested in signing me permanently to an Alaskan music group. I am very happy to accept this contract. I got back on the bus with money and the contract was happy and wanted to show it to my mother. In fact, right up to home, instead of giving a surprise even I was surprised to see my mother was lying helpless because of a stroke. Anyway at that time I was really shocked to see the state of my mother, Mar. There was a feeling of regret as to why I had to leave for the city leaving my mother who was not feeling well. At that time I was also taken by my aunt he said I am a filial child and so on. In fact, my mother said, the aunt's talk was the only thing that got my mother a stroke."
Rani took a deep breath and wiped her tears using a tissue.
"When I was in town. The aunt often came to my mother and told her nothing about me. He said, I went to the city not to be a singer, but so the perempuan not really. Said I was the mistress of the boss of his music group, and so on anyway until this mother thinks and drops."
"Well, can you call me to hear from you?"
"I didn't have a cell phone at the time, Mar. My family and neighbors don't have cell phones either. His name also lives in the village."
"Your aunt's weird, huh, Ren?"
"That's why at last while eating a little money from the results of the gig, I also made a house on my mother's land. Well, although simple is important our life is quieter here. Pity my mother too if she lives in my father's inheritance. His soul must be depressed. Especially if I stay on the stage for a long time."
"yeah. Your move is right, Ren although you finally have to leave your father's family."
"Now it's commonplace, brothers become friends and friends become brothers, Mar."
"But, I guess mom is now a bit closer, yeah, than you said before."
"Yes it is, Mar. In the past, the entire body of this mother could not be moved. After undergoing medical treatment and therapy, thankfully his hands can be moved normally. Only his legs were not functioning properly. So you can ride a wheelchair for about three years. It's just that, it's been a year since the mother had to undergo lung treatment. The cure can't be late if this one. This sometimes makes me think that there must be a gig job out of town."
"Mother is okay, my dear Damar. So the mother thought Reni would go out of town or go to work at night. Mother hunt this mother's son has a partner. Let someone accompany him everywhere. And I'm not worried about her safety anymore."
"What the hell is this mother?" rani protests while glancing towards her mother.
"Mom's talking seriously, Ren. If you already have a child, surely you understand how a mother thinks that their children go nights or go far."
"Kan, Reni can ride an online motorcycle, Mom. And at the venue there is usually a committee that guards Reni?"
"Yes, if the online ojek is already known by kayak Nak Damar, this is okay. If other people are still thinking. Why are you kayaking on that TV, how?"
"It can't be, Mom. The name is online yes according to the application. Damar also can't be just my job. He must have had other customers."
"Hm ... Son Damar can not nganterin Reni to where Reni gig? Damar and Reni live in the same town, right?"
"Bus ... How about that, anyway? Poor Damar!" rani protests.
"You shut up, Ren! Let the mother who asked for her own help to Nak Damar. Please yes, son. I thought about it if it wasn't Nak Damar who drove Reni?"
Rani is embarrassed to hear her mother's request to Damar. Damar just casually got the request. He smiled at his mother Rani. For him, it was not a difficult request to obey from an old lady who was sick.
"Yes, Mom. I'm willing ..."
