This morning the house was a bit hot because the AC was damaged and not repaired so it does not work anymore. Actually AC has been very often repaired to the point that it makes its performance plummeted so much that it really cannot be repaired anymore. The occupants of the house sit on a sofa with a cheap fan in their hands. It's only 8 in the morning but the temperature is already this hot then what if it's 12 in the afternoon?
They could not imagine how hot it was.
"Mother, sultry! I want to soak in a cold pool for a sultry call." Widia, the most fat and overweight girl in this house complained to Mom.
His neck and forehead were sweaty like a sauna. Wetting the cloth of his clothes that had just been replaced to show the curves of his body formed due to fat. Her condition was very uncomfortable and I could see that she needed cold air immediately. But where to look for cold air at this time because news everywhere informs if the world is now being attacked by extreme heat. The impact of extreme heat caused several countries in Europe to issue a danger alarm, asking their citizens not to leave their homes and schools in liburkan for several days to prevent casualties again.
"Patience, Wid. The weather's not good, so we have to do this first until things get back to normal." Mother said comforting her daughter.
Widia has also been patient but the abnormal temperature has left her completely drained of patience. He felt sultry, sweat was everywhere and the most important thing was that the high temperature made him so emotional.
The trivial matter that offended his heart would definitely become a big problem within his head.
"Patience, patience! Can't you see I've been patient from yesterday?! I'm tired of knowing, Mom. My body is all wet every day and I have to change clothes even though the clothes I have not worn for long. If this keeps all my clothes in the closet definitely'out because most change clothes continue. Anyway, Mom, is it hard to buy AC again? The price of AC is not very expensive? I saw yesterday that there were neighbors who bought AC because they could not stand the rage. Not only buy one but he just bought two ACs! I heard one of his ACs was placed in the room of his son who was still in High School. Hah...would you want to be looked down upon by them? I thought the neighbor was not as rich as we are. Compared to them we are much better but how could lose competitiveness with them. Those who are poor just buy AC, our time that the PNS family can not?!" Widia said that she was jealous of her mother.
He knows best what kind of person his mother is. His mother was most dislike to be underestimated and liked to show off to the neighbors. What he had and bought would soon reach the ears of the neighbors here. And if he hears there are neighbors who have something or goods more than him, then Mother will certainly not stay silent. He would go buy more expensive items to prove that he had a lot of money to spend.
Well, Widia deliberately took advantage of her mother's tendency to show off who could not lose the competition from other neighbors. She ignites it with exaggerated words, making Mom burn jealous and fostering a crisis feeling like never before.
"Mom knows, Son. I also saw the electronics store itself deliver two ACs to our neighbor's house." Said Mother pouting.
Widia sees Mom's scowling reaction immediately withholding fuel.
"Mothers also buy dong, Mom. The hell time can you lose competitiveness with them? Even though in this place we are the most capable, Mom, because you work as a PNS."
PNS or just call it civil servants often become a reference to the life capabilities of a family in some places. This job is very luxurious for some places because it gets guarantees directly from the government. Often this job is classified as a benchmark for finding a husband in several places. And this wrong understanding also cannot be separated from the lifestyle of the PNS who consider themselves as special people. So it is not wrong if people believe that marrying a PNS is the same as having an adequate life guarantee.
"What are you talking about, anyway? Who says you don't want to buy! I talked to you yesterday to buy AC and some more household appliances but you refused. He said half of his salary was to pay off debts in the bank and the other half was for home savings. We can not use a random house deposit because the money we will use for things that are more important in the future. That's why I didn't go buy AC from yesterday when I really wanted to buy you AC." Said Mother depressed.
Seeing his neighbors buy AC, Mother's nature that does not want to lose immediately flared up. She then asked her husband if he could buy AC but he refused because the money was not enough now. And actually I didn't explain it properly to Widia. He deliberately hid some things and one of them was that the house money was not enough. Not because they are diligent in saving money but because they do not have much money. They still have debts in the Bank that must be paid in installments every month, not to mention for their daily lives for a month, Mothers know how extravagant children are so their finances plunge to the point of getting a crisis label. But as a mother she couldn't possibly explain the shortcomings of their family. He would rather lie to his children than tell the truth.
"Well, that's it. Ac is important to know, Mom. The price is also not very expensive, really." Now Widia is pouting because Mom can't live up to her expectations.
Just look at his mother's depressed expression. He knew maybe their financial problems were having problems. But the ego in his heart was clamoring wanting to be pampered immediately. He had lost his temper in the face of this extreme heat after a few days of patience.
Suddenly Tina came out of the room. He went into the living room and greeted Mom. As her eyes caught the sticky sweat that flooded Widia's forehead and neck, her expression immediately changed. She stared in disdain at Widia and ogah sat with her so she sat down beside Mom but still faced Widia directly.
"His face is so wet. You're not worried, what? Don't you wanna change?" Tina asked nicely but sounded annoying to Widia herself.
Especially when he saw Tina's disgusted expression, Widia's heart immediately burned with anger. He himself was also unwilling like this and was a bit embarrassed to be seen with this kind of appearance but what could he do?
He can't control all his sweat!
"Can you shut up, can't you? I'm so sure as a person." Widia gas sulking.
Tina rolled her eyes lazily. It seemed that this walking fat ball could not be spoken to normally for the time being so he immediately closed his mouth not speaking anymore. Please do not blame the reaction just now because anyone would feel disgusted to see the droplets of sweat of others to flood the clothes worn. Even though that person was his own brother but still it felt a bit disgusting. Huh, instead of sitting here removing the fat juices, it's good for Widia to go into her own room so that the fat juices do not interfere with the vision of the house.
"Mom, why don't we ask for help at Uncle and Aunt's? They're rich now and they're a lot of money so giving us a little money shouldn't hurt them." Tina suddenly raised a taboo topic that they had not talked about for a few days.
Tina had listened to Mom and Widia talk earlier from inside the room. He was also overheated due to extreme weather and mana resistant to linger inside the house without AC. Because Mother and Father do not have the cost to buy AC then why do not they ask for help to Anggi parents only?
"Seek them for help? Are you crazy!" Snapping Mom angry.
It was still fresh in his memory of that night. They were expelled by Anggi without having time to sit inside the house just to rest or drink tea. Anggi did not even look at them as a family that night let alone welcome their arrival with a friendly smile, Anggi was not that good and just immediately drove them all away. It was an insult that I could not possibly forget. He's expelled! Really, he had never had this cruel humiliation before and it was all because of the rich pretentious Anggi.
The looks of him were now rich so he forgot about their familial relationship, it really sucks!
Widia on the other side wanted to throw a sofa pillow next to her.
"Skin! Care skin! How long have you been using skin care, but what are the results? Your skin is not changing. Buluk remains a buluk, your face has no change at all." Ejek Widia cynical.
If Widia has a lack of fat clumping everywhere then Tina actually has a deficiency in her skin color. She was thin but her skin was dark, her lips darkened and thin, when worn with a strange falling lipstick.
"Look, there's no change you say? Obviously my face is much better after using skin care." Tina was really angry because her weakness was alluded to.
"Good from Hong Kong! Your face is white, not. Glowing, too. Even those with your face are getting bigger too. No need to spend money to buy skin care again because it is useless!" Widia said cruelly.
In fact, Tina's skin is cleaner but still far less than the expenditure spent on buying skin care. The price of skin care that Tina bought almost touched the number 400 thousand, very expensive and wasteful because because the content is only a little. Totally nothing compares to spending their money.
"Based fat ball! Say you hire me. Instead of taking care of my skin, you better take care of the fat you are clumping everywhere. It's disgust to know." Tina was heartbroken and immediately retaliated ruthlessly anyway.
Starting from the AC problem Tina and Widia began to fight. They opened each other's weaknesses, mocked each other, and compared each other.
The weather was hot, the house was hot, and their heated quarrels made Mother boil angrily.
Pa!
Mom hit the table to stop the two of them fighting. Seeing Mom's anger, they immediately shut up and continued the quarrel with a sinister look in each other's eyes.
When Tina and Widia shut up, Mom calmed down. He leaned his back on the sofa to organize his current thoughts. A few minutes later, he finally spoke.
"Don't fight anymore. I got dizzy hearing it. Instead of fighting, you better make ice cubes in the kitchen so that later we can make ice water." Said Mom giving the order.
Hot weather like this is good to drink cold.
"Mom don't want to go to Anggi's house?" Tina still remembered the same topic.
Mom rubbed her dizzy forehead.
"Mommy doesn't want to. Anggi does not like us, he does not want to recognize us as his family. Especially the mistake you made, she still remembers it until now." Mother said she rejected Tina's idea.
Tina also knew she was guilty and she regretted it now. If he knew that one day Anggi would become a rich man, then maybe he would never do such a ridiculous thing to Anggi.
"Mom, we can talk to Uncle and Aunty nicely. I'm sure they'll forgive us and give us another chance because after all you're Uncle's sister. They can definitely accept us again because of your brotherly relationship." Tina to her mother.
Mother also had time to think like that but she hesitated for a few days because she was still heartbroken. But the situation is completely different now. She needs money for her daily needs and for the needs of her children. And the most powerful and fast way is to ask money to both Anggi parents.
"Yes, Mom. I don't have to worry about Anggi's brother because he rarely comes home so we can lobby Uncle and Aunt to be by our side." Widia would not persuade.
His dream of Anggi money has not disappeared especially after being insulted by Tina earlier, he was even more eager to immediately have a lot of money and go to the beauty doctor to do liposuction.
Hearing the persuasion of her children, Mother inevitably persuaded as well. After all Anggi is also not in his house so they can freely talk to Anggi's parents. Anggi's parents were also gentle people so this time they must have managed to speak.
"Mom.." Call Tina hoping.
She closed her eyes to make a decision.
"Well, I'll try to talk to you later. If you are willing, we can go but if you do not want to, then we will not go. Already, now go make ice cubes. If you don't want to then let's just say we won't go to Anggi's house."
Tina and Widia hurriedly got up from their seats. Walk in a hurry to the kitchen to carry out the tasks that their mother gave.
