I am one of those blessed with a good, hardworking and loving mother. Even though we are poor. It is happy every day that we are with each other. Even though our house is small, it is full of happy memories and unforgettable memories. I grew up without a father. My mother was the pillar and light of the home. She took on various honorable jobs. We just wanted to have something to eat every day and also support my studies.
I've only seen him rest once, so when I don't have an assignment or work, I just do the housework. For even a moment, he can rest.
Honestly, I can feel the pain that my mother feels even if she doesn't say it. I know she is very tired. I once told her "Mom, I'll just stop studying to help you every day". He didn't agree because he didn't want my life to be like this one day. Whenever I don't have an assignment, I sell newspapers and sell trash that can still be used to help with household expenses.
One day, my mother came home with a man. She called me and introduced me to Tito Allan. My mother said, "She has been courting him for a month. She saw that he loves her so she replied that". Tito Allan is kind ". I saw in my mother's face that she was very happy. So I didn't object. Because she deserved to be happy. I told her "when that person makes you cry,I will punch him".Shhe just smiled what I said.
We quickly packed because Tito Allan wanted us to live in his house. Wow !!, his house is nice. It's just the right big size for us to live here. Actually, I just saw it personally and entered this beautiful house. Howbeautiful and tidy the house is, so do my mother and I dress for something in such a beautiful house.
The slippers with holes are gone and the clothes that are all old but all new are gone. I always eat delicious food every day. There is no hunger.
Every day I also see the joy on my mother's face. So I'm happy too. I'm happy that she has a partner in life so that she won't have any more difficulties.
After five months. Gradually Tito Allan's bad habit came out. He came home drunk and always hot -headed. I often heard them arguing and shouting.
One night, I saw him hurting my mother so I rushed and punched him. My mother immediately stopped me and said "don't interfere Jino". Tito Allan also told me that “if you want to graduate high school, don’t bother”. I angrily went to the bedroom.
In a mall where I was looking for material to use in our project. I saw Tito Allan with a beautiful woman on the side. I prevented him from punching me so what I did was humiliate him and tell him embarrassing words to many people, leaving at once. That night I came home to life. We did as many projects. I opened the gate and the blow greeted me. I fought but my body was closed. He is a big man but I am not afraid of him especially when he hurts my mother. My mother came and stopped us immediately. Tito Allan begged. I immediately told my mother that he had an affair with a woman earlier. My mother didn't want to believe so I ran to the bedroom which was having a hard time with the pain.
At midnight, I went to Jino's room to tell him, so I didn't believe himso that Allan wouldn't beat him.
The door was open so I entered. I was surprised that he wasn't in bed, only a letter was seen. And this is what I read in the letter "Mom, first of all I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye. You know I'm lucky. I'm lucky to have a mother who is good, kind, hardworking and loving. I did it so as not to be a hindrance to you by Titus Allan. I know you love her. When I see you happy, I am happy too. I am a witness to your suffering and sacrifice so you deserve to be happy, mom. I don't think Tito Allan and I can get along anymore. He has changed. He always shouts at you. Sometimes he even hurts you. I don't want him to kill you. I also looked like a child. I left so there would be no trouble. I don't want to hinder your love for him because I love you so much mom. Don't worry about me, I won't leave myself. I will also take care of this house. I will study hard so that you will be proud of me. I will try to be a good and hardworking person like you. I idolize you. Thank you of your thousands of loves ".
My tears flowed, rushing. I groaned in tears. Here I slept in his room. I hurried to the bedroom to pack. "Dani! Where did you sleep last night? Dani !! Dani! Where are you going? Are you leaving? You're a girl. Do you have a hook? You're bitch!!. You're not satisfied with me yet". Because of what he said, I slapped him hard.
"Don't give me back everything you do. I put up with Allan I endured your deception. Sometimes I alsosaw you with a beautiful woman but I ignored that because I love you so much. But the one you beat Jino in front of me. God just forgive me for what I can do to you. 15 years.15 years I cared for and protected him. I took care of him for 15 years without the help of others. So no one has the right to beat him or hurt him. ".
"I dressed you. I fed you delicious food and brought you up to that dirty and smelly place. You are ungrateful".
"Why are you criticizing me for that. Do you love me? or did you just flirt with me to add to your many women? If only my life would be like this every day. I would rather go back to my old life. Even if we are suffering, we will be happy. Even if we have little food and our house lacks equipment. It is full of love and respect. And we satisfied for that.I am happy to be with Jino because he is my real treasure ".
After I told him everything. I left immediately. I went home .
I apologized to my dearest son. We celebrated his birthday together.
A great lesson has happened in our lives, which we will take to our heart.
