NOT MY DAUGHTER
Sundari feels annoyed to hear the answer Sulastri. Just for the sake of paying off debt. And, Sulastri says all of that without being seen there is a sense of remorse at all.
"Just because of the debt?"
"Yes, because of the debt. I may not be the expense of this house. Although small, the house belongs to our own. If the house is taken away, we'd like to live where?!"
"You can borrow on your employer. From the in you sell your daughter!" exclaimed Sundari began to emotions.
Sulastri stand and directly accused Sundari.
"Who are you? Not anyone! You better go along the child carrier of this plague."
"I'm not anyone. But, I'm much better than you!"
"So, would you guys do?! Judge me?"
"I just want to ask you, ma'am. Why you'd sell your daughter? Why Mom with could damage the future of the child's Mother? What is my fault, Ma'am?"
Sulastri staring Kartika sharply. "You want to know your fault? Just so you know, I'm not your mother! Now, you go from here. Don't ever come back again. I don't care where are you gonna live, gonna be a bitch or a butterfly of the night though, I don't care!" cried Sulastri.
Bruaaak... Suddenly the door of the house Sulastri opened, and Aminah stood staring at Sulastri sharp.
"So you've been lying all this time?! You said Kartika ran away from home, when in fact you already threw it away. Did you even sell it? You don't have a heart! What kind of mother are you?!" exclaimed Aminah.
Kartika just sobbed at Sulastri's words. He looked at Aminah's mother and hugged her.
"Yes, Mom. I never loved Kartika. Let Kartika go. Haven't you been telling people all this time that Kartika ran away? Kartika's okay, Mom. Now, I say goodbye. Thank you for giving birth and raising me, Mom. If you don't want to consider me a child anymore. All right, I'm leaving. Let's just say, I never existed and never was a mother born. If one day we meet again, anywhere, there is no need to say hello to each other. I say goodbye, mom."
Kartika has immediately attracted the hands of Sundari and stepped out of the house. Leave Sulastri and also Aminah. Kartika feels destroyed utterly. At first, he imagined that Sulastri will hug and apologize to him. Or at least ask how he was. Whether Sania treats him well or not. But, it's all just a mere chimera.
In the cab, Kartika just cried hugging Sundari with sadness.
"Mother will take care of you well, Kartika. You may think of me as your Mother. I've never said it, isn't it? Forget everything. Listen to me, you can stay with me. No need to serve any guest. Let me be responsible if Mrs.Sania asks, how?" ask Sundari.
Kartika starting at Sundari didn't believe it. "Really? I don't hear wrong, right? I don't need to serve more guests? No longer need..."
"Yes, I will be responsible for you. You don't need to serve the guest and live in that room. You will live in my house, with me."
"What if Mrs.Sania is angry?"
"The mother who will be responsible for everything."
Kartika embraced Sundari tightly. Really, like a dream but this happened. She felt happy for once. At least, although he could not return to school, he no longer need to serve guests at the bed again.
"Thank you very much, Ma'am."
"Same-same, my dear."
Sundari did what he said. When they returned, Sundari immediately told his men to take Kartika's belongings and move to the mother's house. Kartika was not allowed to return to her room. Sundari immediately gave a room next to his room which had been empty.
"This is your room now, you can live a normal life. You want to go back to school, Kartika?" asked Sundari.
"May I, Mom?"
"Why not? I will take care of everything. It's a pity if you don't continue your school. Only a year left, right."
"Yes, Mom."
"I'll be responsible for everything. You just calm down, yes."
"Ma'am, but can I say goodbye to my friends? Neneng and Euis? They are nice to me, so I guess..."
Sundari seemed to think for a moment, "Okay, just for a second and went right back here. The mother does not want the children long to bother you."
Kartika is familiar with what is said in Sundari. He was rushing to the room Early and Euis.
But when he was just about to knock on the door...
"So good to him, though he is here with us. Sure he was already wearing the pellets. Clay course, the guests who came to her it's always giving him tips on that lot. While us? He's right on the move here with us because Mrs. Sania gets a girl who is much prettier than her. If not, he's still in there."The sound of Neneng with a tone that is not good to hear.
"You two are too innocent. I'm sure he's just selling sad stories. Pretending to be sold by his mother, where there is a mother who has the heart to sell her child. If the father is still possible yes, do not feel the hell how it hurts to give birth. That's why I didn't like it yesterday, so pretty."
Kartika remembers, yesterday someone yelled at them. And, now the woman is inciting her friends. And, the severity of Neneng and Euis was also instigated.
"Yes, sister Dea. She does look innocent. But, it turns out she is. Smart looking face, sycophant, " said Euis.
Kartika feel no longer able to hear the words Euis and Neneng. He had no intentions to see her friends and hurried back. Sundari who saw the expression of sadness in the face of Kartika directly rushed up.
"What is it, Tika?" asked Sundari. With stammering, Kartika was told what she just heard. Sundari sighed. She knew, for sure it will happen. Therefore, he sent people to bring goods to Kartika. In a place like this, where his name is envy and jealousy was already unusual. For Sundari already eating plenty of salt of course will not be a problem. But, for Kartika, it's certainly a new thing for her.
