My Mother's Tears
Part 76 The Sacrifice of Anisa
“In fact, I have borrowed rice almost in every neighboring house, Mom, to which neighboring house should I borrow rice?”
Hearing the words of her son Maryati immediately fell silent, there was no way Nisa would lie to him, so Maryati tried to go borrow rice to other neighbors. However, the result remained the same, the rice he could not get at all, only the scolding he received from an evil neighbor.
“Where is Mom, do you get the rice?” nisa asked to know.
“No son, they all scolded Mom son, because the previous rice debt I have not returned."
The difficulties of life that Maryati feels are indeed unmitigated. Bima, who had been a child who loved his mother and sisters, was no longer there for all of them.
Nisa who loved her mother very much, she often saw Maryati bleed fresh from her body, Nisa felt very sorry, she who was still in school at Junior High School, could not do anything.
Meanwhile, Tia who is no longer in school, she does not want to go home to her mother, must live always enslaved by Dira, Tia still survives living with her.
Likewise with Leni who was at the boarding house, Bima pulled him and lived with him.
With the presence of Tia and Leni with him, Dira can use both to become a maid, ranging from cooking, cleaning the house, washing and so on, all done by Tia and Leni.
“Heh, Tia, why are you still sleeping, quickly you cook, later your brother can be angry.”
“But I'm less healthy Kak.”
“Ah, that's later we just think.”
“But I didn't lie Kak.”
“Remember Tia, Brother does not like you to be a slacker yes, if you want to stay in this house, if you do not want to work, go home there to your poor mother.”
“Good sister,” with a heavy heart, Tia was forced to rise up to cook with Leni in the kitchen.
When Bima came home from where she worked, Dira was always good to both of them, and spoiled both.
“What about your school Len? is it okay?”
“Iya Bang.”
“Does Mom, there send you shopping money?”
“Udah of these two months, I no longer send you my shopping money, Bang.”
“What's wrong with Mom, why doesn't she send you your shopping money? does he not know that life in this city is very difficult?”
Hearing the words of Bima Tia and Leni was silent, because they both did not know at all about the condition of Maryati, who was far from all of them.
“Tia, tomorrow morning go you to the terminal, send a letter to Mom, tell her to send you your shopping money immediately.”
“Good Bang,” replied Tia while entering her room, to write a letter to her mother.
The letter arrived in Maryati's hands, Nisa read the contents of the letter in a loud voice. Maryati looked pensive after hearing the contents of the letter.
“What we have to do son, I have nothing more to sell.”
“If Tia doesn't go to school anymore, why doesn't she just go back to Bu's house?”
“Entah son, but said Kak Tia, Kak Dira forbid him to go home.”
“Why did Kak Dira forbid, was Kak Dira able to finance them both there? lest Kak Dira make them both a maid in her house.
“Now, I'm dizzy thinking about it.”
“If both of them still need school fees, then what about the school that I will go to in Padang, Mom? surely I will not be able to finance her.”
“There's no way you're not going to continue your school, son, while all your brothers are continuing their schooling up to SLTA."
Just a few weeks, Anisa, went to school, she felt sorry for her mother who would work to bear the cost of living and school fees are not small. Anisa secretly stops from school and returns to her mother's house.
“Why did you come home son, didn't you go to school?”
“I don't want to go to school Mom, I'll just finish Junior High, I'll be here looking after Mom.”
“But I can still find money for your school fees four.”
“No Ma'am, I know Mom is currently sick.”
“Mother's illness comes only occasionally, son, you don't have to worry about Mom.”
“Ngak Bu, from tomorrow I will work to meet all the needs of this family.”
“What do you want to work for?”
“Anything, the important can make money.”
Incidentally, a neighbor who lives not so far from Maryati's house, offers Nisa to work with her on a farm. Nisa did not reject him, happily, Nisa immediately followed the woman.
Must be a job that is very difficult and does not fit with him, but Nisa still trying. With passion and sincerity, Nisa finally received her first salary.
All the salary money in Nisa, directly handed over to Maryati, then the money in for Maryati, some sent to her three children in Padang.
During Nisa's work, they all began to feel happiness, the family's economy was again stable. Unlike the other girls, each time they finished receiving a salary, they used the money for themselves.
Anisa looks at them with a sad heart, but if Nisa uses the money for herself, then what is the fate of Mother and her other family. In her solitude Nisa always thinks positively.
“Nisa, sit down son, there's something I need to talk to you about.”
“What is Bu?”
“Mom feels bad for you, every payday, you never hold any money, everything you leave to Mom.”
“Nnothing Mom, I'm sincere, anyways if the money I do not give to Mom, like any school fees Brother in Padang.”
“Then how was your school?”
“Mother rest easy, if God has not willed, I also can not go to school right, so I do not need to worry about that.”
Maryati knew, if the burden on her little daughter was very heavy, for that Maryati did not want to sit at home, with Tomi, they were gardening vegetables, the results of which they sold to the market.
When the economy is difficult, Panji comes to where Maryati is, Panji wants to stay and stay at Maryati's house.
“I can't accept you Kang.”
“Why?”
“Because at this time the economy of our family is difficult, Bang Tomi and I can no longer work, then what about your living costs?”
“If for living expenses, let me take responsibility myself later.”
“But I still object.”
“Yati, just let Kang Panji stay with us, after all he will not burden us kok.”
