My Mother's Tears
Part 74 Maryati Fortitude
It felt like just now, Maryati was free from the suffering of the world, this time her own son who started the suffering to come back to her.
Maryati was stunned sitting on a chair, she did not expect at all that Bima could so long as it snapped and spoke harshly to her in front of the newly married woman.
However, it must be so painful, the next day Maryati came to Bima's house with money, for the cost of Tia's hospital.
“You count the money first, later if less tell Mom, I will add more.”
“What does Mother mean?”
“What do you think, that money I gave you for free?”
“I didn't understand, didn't I tell Mom, if Tia's hospital fee has been paid.”
“Now where is Tia?”
“He's still in the hospital Bu.”
“Mother will wait here, pick her up and bring her here.”
“Alright,” replied Bima while going to the hospital which is located just opposite the road with her home.
Together with Bima, Tia met with Maryati. Tia looked a little pale, as she had lost a lot of fluid.
“Let's go home baby!” take Maryati to Tia.
“Did Mom not enter first?” ask Bima wonder.
“Not necessary! just one message Mom to your wife.”
“What is Bu?”
“If I don't have many children, then there won't be you in this world.”
The words said by Maryati, remind Bima with the words of Dira two nights have passed.
“Is it because of Dira's words, which made my mother cry?” ask Bima to herself.
Confusion began to hit Bima's mind, the question of why her mother was crying, has not been answered perfectly. When Maryati a little away from her house, Bima felt unsettled, then she chased after her mother.
“Mother wait!” bima from a distance.
Maryati's steps instantly came to a halt, as Bima called out to her. Slowly Maryati looked back, at that time she saw Bima coming towards her.
“Tell me, Mom. Why did you cry that night?”
Hearing Bima's question, Maryati instead of answering, she instead summoned an angkot that happened to pass in front of her.
“Mother, answer my question, Ma!”
Maryati was silent, at that time her tears flowed not felt, but before Maryati had forgotten her, but because Bima reminded her again, Maryati also felt hurt.
Upon arrival at home, Maryati immediately asked Tia who was lying weakly on the bed.
“Why are you sick, baby? did you eat wrong?” ask Maryati to know.
“I'm tired Mom, brother Dira told me to work.”
“Taking you to work? working what?”
“All homework, I did it.”
“You're serious?”
“Iya Bun, if I don't want to work on it, Brother Dira would scold me. Not only that, Kak Dira also told me to take care of her cloth shop every time I went home from school.”
“Then what does your brother think?”
“Just like Mom, Bang Bima will also be angry if I do not want to help Kak Dira.”
“Bima has gone too far, he is like being affected by the words of his wife.”
“Iya Ma'am, as long as I was at Bang Bima's house, I was often angry, if I had a slight error.”
“I really want aja Bu, but if I move house, Bang Bima must be angry at me later.”
“Why are you afraid your brother will be angry, isn't that paying your boarding money is Mom, so why fear baby.”
“Lagian at this time I have climbed to third grade Bu, it feels a responsibility to move from that house. Let me stay there for a while, ma'am.”
“That's up to you, I'm just suggesting it, that's if you agree.”
Because Tia was on the verge of doubt, Maryati could only leave all the business to her daughter, while Leni who was already in the third grade, she also wanted to continue her school to High School, just like Tia's sister.
For That Maryati worked hard to prepare the school entrance fee for Leni. Regardless of the time Maryati continues to work to be able to achieve the targets that have been set.
That night after Maryati counted all the money she had earned for Leni's school entrance fee, it turned out that the money was still a lot of lack. The next day, Maryati asked her boss to be allowed overtime after work.
“Bby, provided you take care of your health.”
“Good Sir,” answered Maryati happy.
After getting Maryati's permission immediately overtime after her working hours were over, Tomi who was waiting for Maryati's arrival at home felt astonished and anxious, because until late at night his wife had not returned from the factory.
“Mother why haven't you come home Dad?” ask Leni to her dad.
“Now son, I'm very worried that something might happen to your mother in the factory.”
“So, what we will do Yah.”
“If until eight o'clock, your mother has not returned, then Dad will pick her up.”
“Then I come with ya Well,” said Anisa in a loud voice.
“Bby, later we go pick up Mom.”
Tomi stands at the door, facing the highway, every car that passes Tomi always hopes to stop in front of the house. But after a long wait, not a single car stopped lowering its passengers.
At about eight, Tomi immediately went to the factory after Maryati who worked there, the distance of the factory so far traveled Tomi with Anisa slowly. Must be tired, but Nisa never complained at all, she walked while holding her father's hand.
“Is the place where mom works that far away Dad?” ask Nisa slowly.
“Away, is Nisa tired?”
“No, I'm still strong.”
“If Nisa is tired, let Daddy just carry.”
“No, I'm still strong.”
“Alright,” replied Tomi while smiling sweetly.
The journey was very far, they were only on foot, but they never objected at all. Arriving at the factory where Maryati worked, Tomi saw his wife lifting a large sack on her head.
Tomi's heart felt so sad, when he saw his wife making a living for the needs of the family including himself who never worked.
“I'm sorry, ever since you married me, you've never felt happiness, I'm an evil husband who never took responsibility,” Tomi sighed softly.
“Dad! that's Mom Well, I saw Mom there!” nisa shouted in a loud voice.
“Iya son, Dad also saw it.”
“Then, let's go there Yah!”
“Don't kid, we'd better be here, later can interrupt your mother work.”
“Alright,” replied Nisa while sitting on a rock beside Tomi.
Not only that day Maryati overtime, even almost every night they do it, all for the sake of the family she loves.
