My Mother's Tears
Part 59 The Goodness of Dipa
“Om, will Om help us in finding Dad?”
“But where are we going?”
“So much Om only, as long as we can meet with Dad, to the end of the world we will join Om, looking for Dad.”
“But Om there are other needs today.”
“What are the needs of Om?”
“Introduction of food to workers currently working in the garden Om.”
“Then, let me help Om, in delivering his food, but after that, Om must help us find our Father.”
“Alright,” replied the man.
Gladly, Maryati and her three children follow the man in search of Tomi's whereabouts, who works out of nowhere.
After traveling so far away, they did not find who they were looking for, Maryati was already feeling desperate.
“If indeed you do not find the Father of these children, you should just send us to the city of Padang.”
“Ke Padang city, in whose place is Bu?”
“Entailah, we do not know where to go, but for sure if in the city, these children will get food, must have to beg and become vagabonds.”
Maryati's innocent-sounding speech, made the handsome man try to rack his brain.
“Alright, for a while, we just go back to the city with me, at home there is an empty room that you can occupy.”
“Is the Brother family not angry later?”
“I'm alone Mom, I'm not family yet.”
“Both of Brother's parents where?”
“They both died long ago.”
“Ooo, so.”
“Where? do you agree.”
“Good Om, we agree, Bima replied cutting off her mother's conversation.
Because they had all agreed, Maryati and her children were brought by the man to her house.
Living with the man made Maryati and Bima calm, because the man was so good, he even met all the needs of Maryati and her three children. Bima who is a teenager, he is so deft in helping the man.
While Maryati she is quick to light-footed, she works just about anything, which makes the man's job light.
That night, while Maryati was sleeping Leni and Tia, the man entered Maryati's room, sitting on a chair beside the bed.
“Mother, have you slept?” ask the man to Maryati.
Seeing that the man was already sitting by her bed, Maryati got frightened, she tried to get a little away from the man.
“What's Bang?” ask Maryati to know.
“Begini, but I should not be offended just yet.”
“Iya, I'll listen to it.”
“From Mother and children living erratically in this city of Padang, what if Mom just works with me. I became the one to take care of all my needs. Cooking and cleaning this whole house, I'll pay you.”
“Oh, right Bang?”
“Iya Ma'am, all that I have considered, so that Mother's children no longer suffer.”
The man's words, like the cool flowing water in Maryati's heart, were not expected at all, if the man had good intentions in his family.
“Later if I go to hill beacon again, I will invite Bima, to find his father's whereabouts there. If you have met later, Mother with children can really, leave this house.”
“Alright, Mom agrees once.”
Living with the man, Tia and Leni seem healthy and agile, the man is sufficient for all the needs of the Maryati children, in addition to meeting the needs of the four of them, the man is sufficient for the children of Maryati, in addition to meeting the needs of the four of them, the man also checked Tia and Leni's health at the hospital.
The man also bought milk, to meet the nutritional needs of them all. Likewise with Leni, the man even invited Leni to go to the house of a massage shaman, to restore Leni's health that can not walk.
The goods, in the form of staples and clothes and work tools needed while there. Bima was happy to follow the man.
On the way they both seemed to be joking, Bima who had always been overwhelmed with sadness, when it was seen starting to smile. They must have kept all that bitterness in their hearts.
“We have reached Bima.”
“Lho, this is our area that is famous Om?”
“Iya, down there is garden Om.”
“What garden?”
“Clove garden.”
“The clove tree, how about Om?”
“Later you will know for yourself, how the shape of the clove tree.”
“Alright, I'll go downstairs to see the clove tree.”
“Then you help Om, bring light goods only, let the heavy Om who brought.”
“Why should be light Om, even heavy ones I can afford."
“The problem, the road to the garden Om, it is very steep and steep, if one steps, later we can fall into the sea.”
“Ah time, Om serious?”
“Iya darling. Let's go down.”
“Good.”
Bima just followed what Dipa said to him, very carefully, Bima walked following the man from behind.
About a kilo meters down the slopes of the hills, then the arrival of Bima and Dipa in the clove garden in question.
It turns out that in the plantation area there has been a house made of boards. The house faces the sea, Bima is very happy to enjoy the view of the sea from the top of the house.
While waiting for Dipa's arrival, Bima tried to rest for a moment, the sea breeze that blows cool makes Bima's eyes powerless to stay open. Slowly the eyes were closed and Bima was soundly asleep.
Moments later, Dipa returned with Tomi who was carrying a spray puck.
“Then I say sir, all the materials and needs of the Father are already in the house.”
“Iya, alright.”
Seeing Bima sleeping soundly, Dipa tried to approach him, she seemed to smile when she saw Bima sleeping snoring.
“Nak Dipa is not alone?” ask Tom wants to know.
“No sir, I came with nephew.”
“Ooo, then you go to work first, son Dipa."
“Good Sir, soon we will also leave.”
“Iya please.”
Without looking a bit at Bima, Tomi just left, continuing her abandoned work. After Tomi moved away, Dipa immediately invited Bima back home.
Both Tomi and Bima, they both did not look at each other, so their meeting that day did not produce results at all.
“Om, indeed Mr who works in the place of om which person anyway?”
“People also, why?”
“My father is also a Padang kok Om.”
“O yes?”
“Iya.”
