The Mate at the Beginning
Chapter 14 Prioritize liability
The bread runs out of the throat so drag. Looking at the cold drink as if they were waving, tempting Mita to take it. Mita swallowed the saliva imagining a cold drink until her throat. Definitely refreshing.
"Hold Mita.remember learning sparingly." Inner Mita reminded herself. So he turned, looking straight ahead so as not to be tempted.
"What else do you want?" Asked the shopkeeper's mother, frowning in surprise at Mita who was sitting stiffly like a robot.
"Sugar sekilo, salt..usually how much is ma'am?" Unconsciously his voice sounded stiff.
"Secyl sugar 13,000,salt a pack of 1500."
"Buy how much salt?" Mita considered for a moment. The mother chuckled at Mita's innocence. Even just salt needs consideration.
"One pack can be a month if it is rarely cooked but depends on the use as well." The shopkeeper's mother smiled. Mita widened her eyes, shocked because she never cooked.
"Two deh Ma." replied Mita timidly.
"What else do you want?" Ask him after taking the salt and putting it on the display case.
"That used to be Mom can buy again if less." He immediately recorded all Mita's grocery list while telling the price.
"Zinc cooking oil 14,000,sekilo 30,000 eggs,fried 2 seeds 6000,Fried domainie 2 seeds 6400,seed 3 seeds 8,400,Indomie sauce 3 seeds 9000,sekilo sugar 13,000,salt 3000,roti 3000. Totals..."My mother counted with a calculator.
"Everything's 92,800." continued the shopkeeper's mother.
Mita shocked. Shopping six kinds almost 100,000. Then Mita handed me a hundred thousand pieces of money.
"The return is 7,200." Mita receives the change while contemplating how much the household needs. He so remember first almost every day mom makes a snack whether it's a vegetable bakwan, fried banana or something else. If calculated a month can run out how many millions? Thought curious.
"Don't forget the groceries!" He reminded, seeing Mita will leave empty-handed.
"Sorry Mom's not focused anymore." He said with a shy smile.
"Thank you, neng."
Along the way Mita keeps thinking about many things until she gets to the front of the house. He saw the door of his house open.
"Assalamu aleikum..kak Dani has returned?" Mita went straight to the kitchen putting the groceries on the dining table.
"Walaikum salam..where from?" Dani asked with a tired face.
"Nih egg shopping, oil, instant noodles, salt sugar." Mita Bright.
"Make stock at home brother." Mita took out all the groceries to put them in place.
"Sorry brother, I went into my brother's room and I'll count 37,910,000 of the 200 I took for shopping." Hearing that Dani was sad. Never imagined his life would be like this.
"I'm sorry I didn't have any food this afternoon.I didn't forget."
"What did you eat?" Mita just smiled, not wanting to make her brother even sadder.
"It just so happened that the school was brought with Ita" lied Mita.
"Dianterin is home anyway." Said cheerfully.
"She also offered a school shuttle, the gas money was split in half. I agree."
"Alhamdulillah, my brother is an adult apparently, can take care of himself and family." Praise Dani while stroking Mita's head.
"I can't do it." Mita smiled shyly at the praise from her sister. Seeing that Dani laughed. His sister's expression was like a child.
"Udah ah I want to clean the house first dark hunt but not shower, not yet praying. Confused by it."
"Put another new obligation!" Dani's Advice.
Life is not anyone knows. Sometimes up there sometimes down. Sometimes it's good sometimes it's not. Life is where exams and exams don't end unless they're dead.
