Mother, work first, pray for mama, get lots of guests so I can feed you and pay for your school, "Maria said to her child.
Then leave Dessy at home alone
Dessy who is still 8 years old still does not know what her mother's job is, which she knows is a hardworking mother who is working hard for her. Once Dessy asked why her mother worked at night and had to dress up in menor, with blood red lipstick and powder that was too white. His mother just yelled at Dessy told her to be quiet don't ask too many questions. Since that time Dessy no longer dared to ask.
Tonight, Dessy has to sleep alone as usual, after returning from the Koran, all she can do is do her homework and then go to sleep.
I wanted to feel like sleeping Dessy was read by a fairy tale and hugged by her mother but it was impossible because her mother was always rude to her. The last time Maria planted dessy sleep when she was sick after that she had to sleep alone again.
The sun appeared peeking behind the clouds as if reluctant to appear himself, fallen branches. This morning at 5.30 in the morning Dessy woke up, no mother woke her up. Dessy must be diligent in doing everything herself such as ironing the uniform or making breakfast. Dessy didn't want to wake her mother who looked lethargic from work at 4am.
"Ma'am, Dessy said goodbye to go to school first," said Dessy in a low voice like she was afraid to make her mother shock
"Yes, there is already a smart school, studying diligently when I go home straight home. Take an allowance of 10 thousand in a drawer, "said Maria, breathing hard
"Yes ma'am, asallamualaikum ma'am",
"Wallaikumsalam"
Maria always gives the best for dessy, including school matters, Maria has made future savings by joining insurance. Maria does not want Dessy to experience the fate she seems like later, Maria always tells Dessy to join the Koran so that she will become a good person.
9:30 a.m. - Dessy's school
"Eh, you know, yesterday I was walking with mom and dad at the night market, it was very exciting. Where did you go on vacation yesterday? " Chatter with a seatmate Dessy
"Yesterday I went to dufan" said wisely in a cheerful voice
"When I was at home yesterday, I spent my time with my dad and mom like cooking and gardening," Anggi said, showing her story.
Dessy only silenced a thousand languages, she did not want to come tell stories with her friends, she preferred to read textbooks. Because what can dessy tell, because yesterday's vacation he was only at home watching his mother who went to work and came home drunk. Dessy never demanded more from her mother, she just wanted her mother to love her, that was enough. Dessy has never been against Maria's words, she has always been an obedient child. Indeed, once in a while Maria brings delicious food to Dessy, or invites Dessy to cook together, making Dessy very happy.
After school as usual, Dessy saw her mother sleeping in sexy clothes. His mouth still smelled of alcohol, plainly Dessy covered Maria's body with a blanket.
Dessy has no father or grandmother or aunt and uncle. The only thing that dessy has is her mother, she loves her mother even though Maria loves Dessy too.
Maria wanted to quit this despicable job, she was tired of having to deal with a man with a terrible face whom she had to serve every day. Sometimes he gets a good guest but more Maria can be a rude guest and only sees him as a satisfying tool. Maria was once slapped because she could not satisfy her guests, Maria could only cry face down lamenting fate.
When can he stop? If he stops work what will he do? He doesn't have the expertise, the school is only graduated from elementary school. Maria actually went to junior high school but only up to grade 2 because her father died in an accident, her mother who became a widow could not bear the burden so heavy that she finally chose to commit suicide. Therefore Maria must work hard for the future Dessy no matter the pain she is experiencing.
Leave for neat work with a beautiful face, come home from work with random hair and breathing full of the smell of alcohol. Once Maria could not stand up because she was drunk, Dessy got up and lifted her mother and cleaned her face with warm water.
Dessy prayed and prayed that her mother would always be healthy and live a long life and if she could work early in the morning and leave in modest and neat clothes like her friend's mother. Maria knew and heard that she could not help but cry after Dessy prayed.
"I promised to be a good mother and not be rude to Dessy, thank you for praying for you. Dessy, who is diligent in her prayer and cannot teach her, please, ”said Maria crying while hugging Dessy.
"Yes ma'am, Dessy promised to be a child who obeys the mother and the Koran is not perforated. But when do you want to join in with Dessy? Allah must miss praying and calling her name ", plainly Dessy said that.
Maria did not answer the words of her son, he just silent and cry. The last time he prayed when there was still his father and mother, if you remember it was 26 years ago when Maria was a child. Actually, Maria wanted to pray and beg for forgiveness from God, but if she remembered her sin and the work she was doing, she withdrew because for her, she did not deserve it. He was dirty and despicable, would God want to hear the prayer of a Pel * cur mother? Is it still proper for Maria to say the name of God? Mary is only a sinner and enough she is unclean and unclean, her child dessy must be a pride for her.
