Forgive Me, My Son
Episode 13's
That afternoon I went to pick up my friend Nova to go to the house of Mr. Sukri's sponsor who will take me to Taiwan. When I arrived in front of his house to say hello and there was a reply from the inside, the house tian invited us to come in and sit in the living room. "This sir we're here to ask if you're still taking care of people who want to go abroad" Nova asked politely. " O yes son still, what to go to, where to go? " answered sir Sukri. I saw Mr. Sukri's wife presenting tea for us, "on the deck first drink" he explained, we nodded and smiled and he went back.
" It's not me, but it's my friend who wants to go" Nova said. " Yes sir I want to go. maybe to Singapore sir, there I hear the citizens use Indonesian or English I happen to understand a little bit of English, and what are the requirements sir? I said at length. Mr. Sukri smiled and replied "Singapore is easy to communicate, but the salary there is not too much like Malaysia, if I recommend to Taiwan only, the salary there is about eight million or even more, for the number two important language can work well, he said, there can work as a parent nurse in contrast to Singapore who can only work as a domestic helper.if you want to stay in care of it, how many days we will go to Jakarta, Jakarta, to PT for medical, and make a passport as well, it happens that there are also other friends of yours who want to leave from other villages, you just take care of the requirements, birth certificate, photocopy of family cards, etc, and then all the fathers who take care of it".
" O yes sir, then I want to go to Taiwan, sir, and this is the procedure how sir, we pay in front or pay cut" I asked again. " This is a system of pay cuts for 9 months, later everything has been prepared in PT "he replied again.
" Thank you sir, then we go home first, tomorrow I will transfer the requirements" I am sure. " Yes, son, wait"
I sighed "how else I am, I am confused, I feel sorry for my parents, like her they bear a lot of debt and hardship while you know I do not work and can not help, not to mention the needs of Rifqie, now it is not much, but later how, how, while her father alone did not provide a living for her, and my sisters still had a lot of school, I could not bear to see my parents like this, she said, let Rifqie take care of my parents and I who seek sustenance get out there. Heard that he was silent and we reached his front door.
" If it's your decision, hopefully you can get the best there, say, be careful on the road, assalamualaikum"., "walaikum salam "said me. She hugged me and immediately went inside, I saw her husband waiting outside the house while holding his son, his son was only 7 months different from my son, I shed tears imagining my husband if it was like that, and I drove home.
