“As you wish, I have a little money for the capital you sell, take nduk.”
“But Yeah.”
“Udah, your mother has left, this is not your mother's money, but this is Dad's pension during his time as Kades.”
“Then I take half of it Well, anyways this money can I use for my daily living expenses.”
“But I still have a pension that I will receive every month nduk, take it, you can use it for your business capital.”
“Alright, thank you Dad, if not for Dad's kindness, I don't know where else to be.”
“One message Father to you, must you live happily, or even in trouble, keep looking Dad here, because in this world I have no one else but you.”
“Good Dad, then I'll excuse you.”
“Yes son, be careful on the road, please take good care of your grandson.”
“Iya, Dad. Let's have a good night with your Grandpa gih.”
“Good Bu.”
“Smart kids,” said Darman as he stroked his grandson's head one by one.
“Then we excuse yourself Yah.”
“Iya dear, be careful on the road.”
“Good Dad.”
Maryati felt so relieved at that time because she had obtained capital from her father. Maryati's plan of money was divided into arriving parts, in order to have money saved, if one day she needed it.
Together with her three children, Maryati began to open a new business, because the old capital was exhausted.
It must be very difficult to take care of the three children while making a living, but Maryati still live it with roomy chest and a sincere heart.
Meanwhile, Tomi who had left the city of Jakarta, never again intended to return there. He releases the Wife who has sacrificed desperately for herself.
Tomi left her duty as a husband, should she be respected in her hometown, but she drowned with prolonged sadness.
After breakfast with Mom and the rest of the family, Tomi sat quietly on the porch.
Leli who saw his son was silent, he went straight to him, Leli did not know what was in his mind.
“You're why Tom, Mommy see you're getting day by day, getting less excited?”
“Neither Bun. I just feel tired.”
“Yes, Mommy knows that, there's no way you look sad while you don't think about anything.”
“During my stay in Jakarta, I have been married to a native Javanese woman, Bu.”
“You married a Javanese woman?”
“Yes, with him I have had seven children, four of whom have died, while three more are alive.”
“Then why didn't you take him back to Padang?”
“I want to take her, but I'm afraid Mother doesn't approve.”
“Actually Mommy does not approve of you marrying a Javanese, but if that has happened, there is no reason for Mommy to refuse it.”
“True, Mommy allowed me to take her to Padang.”
“By son, please take him home to this house.”
“But I do not have money to return to Jakarta, Mommy knows alone, if my savings money is up.”
“Then you have patience first, later if Mother has money, Mother will leave it for you, to Jakarta.”
“Alright, thanks Bu.”
“Iya, dear, equally.”
The hope given by Neli, made Tomi feel happy, but after months of promises was not also realized. Tomi tried to take the promise to her mother.
“What's Tom, how early in the morning have you met Mommy?” ask Leli to her son.
“I want to ask Mommy about Mother's promise at that time."
“Which promise nak?” ask Leli to know.
“Kata Mommy, I'll let you go to Jakarta to pick up my wife and kids.”
“Iya, at that time Mother did promise, then what else?”
“I want nanya, the money you promised me at that time.”
“Iya, Bun.”
“Looks like that money doesn't exist yet son, if you want to be patient, we must have a way to get it.”
Disappointment is clearly visible from Tomi's face, but because his parents are among those who are unable, that's why Tomi does not want to demand a lot about it.
While at the train station, Maryati struggled with difficulty, in order to find a mouthful of rice for her little baby. Bima, who was fifteen years old, always faithfully helped his mother in making a living.
Since Tomi's departure, Bima no longer continue her school, she prefers to help her mother who looks so miserable.
Like other children, Bima also sought work by shining shoes, even being a busker, as long as they got halal money.
“You don't have to work anymore, son, I don't feel calm letting you follow the train.”
“Mother don't worry, we all help each other kok,” replied Bima slowly.
“Yes, I know that, but if something happens to you, how come baby?”
“Do’am course I survived, Mom. You know, if I work, I can help you buy milk for Leni.”
“But son, the risk is that Mom is very worried about you.”
“Mother rest easy, I will take good care of myself.”
“ya already, if that is your decision, I can not do anything.”
That afternoon when Maryati went to the market to buy the necessities of everyday life, suddenly on the road Maryati met Yuni, the richest person around the train station.
“Eh Yati,” greet Yuni while holding Maryati's hand tightly.
“Bu Yuni.”
“No need to call Mom, just call Brother, Kak Yuni, that's loh.”
“O Yes, Brother Yuni. What's up?” maryati asked not to understand.
“Boleh Brother ask something to Yati?”
“What's Sis?"
“If you may know, for several months Brother has never seen your husband at home again, where is he?”
“Ooo, Bang Tomi, mean Sister.”
“Iya, Tomi. Where is he?”
“He's gone Kak.”
“Go? go where?”
“He went home to his parents in Sumatra, precisely in the city of Padang.”
“So your husband is a Padang man, yes?”
“Iya Brother. Coincidentally we met here.”
“So, have you divorced?”
“I don't know, but Bang Tomi went to Padang to make a living.”
“Working? why so far, is not here a lot of work for him.”
“Let him go Brother, if Bang Tomi here continues, not the happiness I get, it is misery.”
“Why is that?”
“Because for months he never gave me a living.”
“Where did he go? how come you never gave you a living?”
“She's busy playing Gambling in the attic of home Mbak Tina.”
“O Yes, Yati. If you want, Brother can take you somewhere.”
“Take somewhere? where is Kak?”
“To a place that can make your life happy and you have so many treasures that abound.”
“Where is Kak?”
