Rentenir village
Tip Money

Because I know we can never measure a person's character or personality just from the shape of his body, his face or the position that someone has, the fact is that humans are creatures that change, human character and nature are too much and so deep for us to dive into, even though I am not as highly educated as my previous contemporaries.

But I learned to live independently, learning with a lot of experience and facts that happened in the field, not just theories as they listened to on campus or school, he said, because even though we memorize the mathematical formula squared or even the house of physics, it is still in the real world the formula of life used.

It will not know how a person's character only uses mathematical formulas or calculation things like that.

That's why I always accept anyone with any face shape and any character to get into my environment, play with me, play with me, struggling together and shoulder to shoulder to realize the common peace in managing this market, I continue to help the market visitors and all the people of Rentenir village with all my ability.

Until not long later Ubay came to help me and he brought me a big box that I was trying to lift at that time.

"This let me, you bring the light," he said while taking over all the things.

I could not do anything at all at that time, because I could only be flabbergasted staring in astonishment at Ubay's attitude which suddenly turned so big like this, he said, though he never wanted to lift things in the market like this, especially now that it was ten o'clock in the afternoon, the sun had started to scorch, he was usually very reluctant to do all the things that made him sweat, he was usually very reluctant to do all the things that made him sweat, so he never met me at the market, but this time for the first time he suddenly came and directly helped me just like that, making me feel very astonished with him.

"Hey..What's wrong with you?" I asked while continuing to walk by carrying her mother's grocery crackle that was beside me at that time.

"Later to explain, now that I'm helping you, let's get ready quickly or you don't want the mother to be angry because you're talking to me like this, right?" Reply to him who makes me just silenced, silent silent silent without knowing what to do to him.

For now I can only pay attention to Ubay who turned round lifting all the items to the tub car belonging to one of the mothers who just finished shopping at the market until everything is finished and mother it gave me enough tip money as well on Ubay, I was very happy because only this time I could get this much tip money, he said, because usually I only get a few thousand or dime from everyone.

"Wahh...mom was very good, just this time getting this much tip money, amazing." My gertutuku while putting the money in the back pocket of my pants at that time.

Immediately I approached Ubay to ask him again what made him want to help me before.

"Hey.. Ubay, come here, you" I said to him, until he came near to me at that moment.

"Tick this is for you." He said giving the money the result of a mother's previous tips.

I could see a lot of sweat splashing on Ubay's forehead at that time he was also holding his hand which looked a bit scuffed, as it continued to transport a lot of stuff onto the tub car, he said, I knew it was difficult for an Ubay because he was not someone like me, who was used to lifting things by himself and working hard against the difficulty of living in this world, with rough or ordinary work.

I couldn't possibly take any money from him, because it was money he made with his own sweat, and I knew getting that money was very difficult for him.

"Why do you want to give me this money, it's money from your hard work." My words to him by furrowing both of my eyebrows were very strong.

He continued to smile at me and pulled my hand while forcefully giving the money away right then and there.

Then I was immediately flabbergasted and rejected him loudly while giving back the money to him, because I really could not take money like this from him just like that.

"Hey, what are you doing, I don't need this money, I've got the same tip money, it's yours, even if it's my job but you do it, too, we're both tired and sweaty, so this is not my money, and you don't have to give it to me, you keep it, that's the first money you make a hundred percent of your own, with your own efforts, certainly without frills from your mother and help from anyone." Reply to him.

Until not long when Ubay was about to give the money to me again, came Bu Yati who immediately snatched the money and he took it violently, while warning Ubay not to connect or talk to me again.

"Heh... Come on, this is my son's money you don't deserve any money from him, after you've had the courage to reject my beloved son so many times, you little lady!" His words made me very upset.

And of course I was so unaccepting of what he told me, I never memorized Ubay's money at all, even whenever he gave anything to me, I always rejected it either in a rough or gentle way, because I knew that unpleasant things would happen between me and Ubayy because of the very existence of his calculating mother, stingy and so evil this.

"Bu Yati what the hell are you, suddenly came and talk like that about me, what is the evidence if I memorize Ubay all this time?" I fought him.

"Hey, do I still need proof, when I have often seen Ubay giving chocolates, clothes, flowers and even other women's equipment to you, he said, in his room there's a lot of stuff that you're always turning down every time he gives it to you, and I'm the one who's gonna have to sell it back." Reply Bu Yati to me.

I was shocked to hear the confession because I never knew at all before that Ubay always kept all the items I had refused to give from him, but from the beginning I always told him to stop doing all that, and never give me things, food or other things that are not useful.

I stared in astonishment and asked Ubay for an explanation at that time, until Ubay quickly pulled his mother's hand away from me.

"Well, Mom is Mom, why do you talk so rudely to Tiktik, he's not wrong everything I do because it's my wish, it's all completely unrelated to Tiktik." Ubay said holding his mother, but even though it was like that, still Bu Yati was so stubborn and scolded me at will, there were also some Arif bang men who witnessed the incident, he said, makes me ashamed when I have to serve Bu Yati and Ubay like this.

"Alright, if it wasn't for this woman, you wouldn't have disputed mother's words, you wouldn't have rejected your matchmaking with Lala, either, nor will you waste your money on all those useless things!" Snapping mom Tiktik on Ubay.

And he kept giving a cynical look filled with hatred towards me, it felt really lazy to look at his annoying face with eyes that kept being protected as well as his lips that were raised next door, it was very frustrating and irritating for me.

Both of my hands were clenched tightly from now on, to hold back the emotions from launching a slap or other violence at him, because somehow I knew she was older than me, and I still had to respect her as the mother of my own friends.

"Ubay let go of mom's hand, I'm still not done with this woman!" Snapped Bu Yati again by throwing her hand and pushing Ubay strong enough that she could break away.

"Hey you, you little girl don't know yourself, you and your parents are just the same, are equally innocent to me, and always interfere with my family's life, can't you just leave this village?" Snapped Bu Yati while continuously pointing at my face continuously.

I had tried to refrain from patiently facing him from now on, but this time I could not stand still, especially Bu Yati had started carrying the names of my parents, I immediately held back her hand that kept pointing at my face, and threw it down firmly, while starting to answer her words.

"Heh.... It's enough that Ms. Yati vilifies me, points at me and continues to blame me, but never mother drags my parents' names down, because I won't be silent!" I hit him hard back then.

To my surprise, Ubay actually defended his mother and he immediately scolded me because I threw his mother's hand until she almost fell at that time.
