No hunch or anything. Joy comes to the house of the woman she just fired. The supervisor knocked on the door of Rara's house many times and for the next time only the sound of life was heard.
"Wait a minute!" there was a voice from inside while coughing. A woman opened the door shortly. Joy who was standing right in front of the door looked at the old woman from toe to toe.
His body was thin, the gray hair in his hair had grown and his skin began to look there were wrinkles in addition to shabby clothes.
Joy still knows her, she is still the same as her beauty never faded even though she was swallowed by age.
"Mama... This is really mama. Why is mom like this." Joy was still stuck in daydreams, never imagining meeting her mother with such apprehensive circumstances.
"Mom, is the Rara there?" ask the superintendent to disperse Joy's daydream.
"Rome. Isn't it still work? he hasn't come home yet." Answer Karin.
"Anu... Rara." the supervisor
"So Rara came home, she said she wasn't feeling well, so I came here to see her. Rara hasn't come home yet." Joy cut the supervisor's talk to Karin. The supervisor was confused.
"Rara's sick? Where is Rara you? I know it hurts why I don't go home." Karin started to get anxious and coughed.
"Sir, please find Rara. Poor mother worried about him. Let me wait here." Joy ordered.
"I-yes sir." the supervisor immediately left Joy with Karin.
"Who are you, son?" ask Karin and let her in.
Joy went inside Rara's barracks. Inside there is only a mat that becomes a seat, there are no treasures on display. Joy's eyes went around looking at every corner of the room.
"Ma... It's been a shame for your life for so many years. This shouldn't have happened to you, it should be in your old age that you can live quietly enjoying old age with your dad." Joy's eyes glazed over but Joy tried to hold her back.
"What are you Rara son. How did you first see you? and it seems you're not an ordinary person." Ask Karin.
"Call me Jo. I'm from City X. I own the building where Rara works.
"city X yes..." Karin paused for a moment and continued talking to Jo.
"Son Jo. I'm sorry I can't offer you anything. There is nothing at home.
"No need to bother Mom. I could meet my mother very happy. Ma? does my mother know me?" jo and Karin just chuckled.
"Of course I know my son, the son Jo himself who just introduced himself to the mother." Jo's hope was instantly dashed when his mama karinnya no longer know him. Karin suddenly coughed continuously.
"Mom, are you okay. Has she taken medication?" ask Jo who seems worried.
"Mom's fine, son. The mother's medicine was finished so the mother continued to cough, later waiting for Rara to come home to buy medicine in the stall so that it can relieve the mother's cough a little.." explained Karin who was still coughing.
"Let me buy Mom, what's the name of the cure. I feel sorry to see my mother coughing, for sure it was so excruciating. Or we go to the doctor just so that there can be better medicine and you can recover."
"Thank you for your attention. Don't worry about mom. I'm used to feeling this." Karin refused to make Joy's heart break. It felt like he was telling the truth and immediately took Karin to the city to treat her and meet her papa. But after considering one thing and another, joy eventually shuts herself up to be honest and chooses to keep her mom and sister for a while until they are ready to listen to an unthinkable honesty and figure out what happened actually why Karin didn't try to go back to see her father.
Soon Rara appears with a black plastic bag in her hand.
"Just come home, son? What are you carrying." asked Karin who approached her daughter..
"Rara had bought two liters of rice with five eggs, which is enough for the next three, four days." Answer Rara.
When he was about to enter, Rara's steps came to a halt when he saw the man who had fired him. Rara has vowed never to forgive the man who destroyed her livelihood to help her mother.
"Ngapain gaffer here. Not satisfied you broke me? What else do you want. Now quickly go this house does not accept arrogant people like you."Rara is driving Joy away. But Joy just smiled and did not feel offended at all.
"Rara, it's polite to talk. I never taught you to be rude to others. Now apologize to Jo's son, or tonight you sleep outside." said Karin.
"But Mom, because this guy Rara doesn't have a job anymore. Rara no longer knows where to work to pay for this contract." Rara answered her mother.
"Mom doesn't care what your reason is. Now you should apologize to Jo. I don't like your attitude like that. If you don't have a job, you can still help you sell around." With a frown Rara also approached Joy who stood not far from Rara
"I'm sorry, sir, forgive my harsh words" Rara said as she extended her hand to Joy. Joy shook Rara's hand.
"I'm sorry, and I'm sorry. I really don't know if you really need that job." replied Joy.
"I'm sorry brother ya dek, because your brother was angry with mom. But I'm proud of you you grew up to be the obedient child of mama" murmured Joy as she continued to stare at Rara.
There was a sound of screaming from outside calling Karin's name.
"Mom Karin get out!" Shouting female voices. Karin, Rara and Joy are out.
"Mom, it looks like we'll be kicked out of here ma'am." whispered Rara as she held her mother's arm.
Karin approached the woman and said something the owner did not accept. Roughly the woman pushed Karin down. "Mother.." said Joy and Rara compactly and approached Karin to help her stand up.
"What did you do to Karin's mother. You can hurt him." said Joy.
"Old women like her have been taught a lesson. He was late to pay the rent and every bill was always asking for time. If you can't pay now, you better get your feet up from here. There's still a lot of people who need a place to rent." Clearly the woman and the other residents saw the embarrassing incident that Karin had experienced.
Joy was furious to see her mother humiliated just because she couldn't pay the rent." How much do I have to pay to pay off Karin's mother's rent." asked Joy.
"You want to pay for Miss Karin's rent arrears? Yeah good then. Ms. Karin has been delinquent for 3 months and 500 thousand monthly so please pay 1,500,00.00. "
"It's just that, humiliating people." Grumpy Joy then took the wallet in her pocket. He also took red and blue notes.
"This is 3,000,000. For the eighth three months. Now please go and don't make a row here." Joy gave the woman cash immediately picked up by the woman
"All right, I accept this money, and I hope that in the future it will not be too late again." The woman left Joy.
Joy comes back to Karin who is with Rara."Mom is not papa. Is anyone hurt?" Joy tries to check Karin's body.
"Mom's not papa, son, I'm fine. Thanks for the help Jo. I promise I'll repay him when there's money." replied Karin
"Don't think about the money, it's nothing compared to the insults on the mother." Joy hugged Karin tightly.
