Seeing that this time Wijaya wanted to say something, both his father and mother then became silent, and invited Wijaya to speak.
And seeing this reaction, of course Wijaya knew that this was permission from his parents, for him to speak.
"Mom, Wijaya knows that you are a very devoted child, and Wijaya is proud to have a mother like you, but Wijaya just wants to remind you that the task of being devoted to parents is not only done by one child.
Moreover, the portion of boys in the family to care for parents, has a larger portion compared to women.
Moreover, then we both know that mother's brothers in the village who are also uncles of Wijaya and Celine, all work and are able to support grandfather and grandmother.
So mom, if Wijaya may have an opinion, you can still help but please reduce the amount of assistance.
Mom must also know that Wijaya really needs money for college, and Celine will also move up a class soon so school fees will increase.
So it would be better if mom could be more patient, especially since Uncle Wijaya would not let grandfather and grandmother starve, right?
So if Wijaya can talk again, Wijaya suggests that mom this time just send as much money as we can for grandfather's medical expenses, as for the additional costs for grandfather's living expenses, let uncle bear them" with a soft voice Wijaya spoke to his parents.
And this time he focused on his mother, he felt he had to start talking about this, to let his three uncles who were men, take greater responsibility for supporting Wijaya's grandfather and grandmother.
On the other hand, this was also to make his mother aware to focus more on her family for now, and not interfere too much in matters in his mother's hometown.
Because it was enough for 3 adult men who were married to take care of a grandfather and grandmother.
Moreover, one of his uncles lived in his grandfather and grandmother's house, so he should be more responsible.
After talking, Wijaya asked permission to go into his room, because he knew there would definitely be further discussions from his parents.
So to make them feel more relieved, Wijaya let the two of them continue talking alone.
Seeing Wijaya's departure when he entered his room, both his father and mother had different views in their hearts.
In his mother's eyes, Wijaya now looked much more mature because he could help his parents in deciding the problems that came.
In the eyes of his father, Wijaya was now a more independent figure, there was clear agreement in his father's eyes, because of Wijaya's progress in speaking.
So the father's burden was reduced, even though he was able to be firm with his wife but he also knew that this would definitely leave a wound for his wife.
So he preferred to give in for the sake of family harmony, as long as it was not felt to burden them heavily, he would accept it with an open heart.
On the other hand, Wijaya who returned to his room, now lay on his back on his bed.
He stared at the roof of his room and remembered the years of suffering he had experienced, after the fall of his family.
It was still clear in his memory that, at that time, how much his mother spoiled his uncles and how shameless his uncles were to rely on his mother to take care of his grandparents.
They always assumed that anyone who worked in the city must be successful and have a lot of money.
With such an assumption, they were shameless enough to subtly blackmail his mother.
Although Wijaya also realized that his mother must know the nature of his uncles.
But he also realized that his mom was the type of person who really loved her family in her hometown, because of the sad experiences that his mother had as a child.
(Is being a good person that suffocating??? It is clear that everything his mother and father did was commendable behavior.
Then why did they have to end up like that??? Taken advantage of by their siblings and ultimately shunned when things were difficult!!
Truly humans are very changeable creatures, if they are good they can be better than angels but if they are evil even the devil will definitely be ashamed)
Wijaya looked restless and full of complaints in his heart, he wanted to change all this but he also knew that at this time he was not able to.
So he felt depressed and unconsciously fell asleep on his bed.
#####
Time just passed and from the last conversation between his father and mother about his grandfather and grandmother in the village.
Wijaya found that the final result was quite satisfying, because his mom followed the advice of himself and his father.
The mother only sent the cost of his grandfather's medical treatment with a nominal of 150 dollars which is quite a large figure in his mother's hometown.
As a note, the price in his mother's and father's hometown is cheaper compared to the price in the city of Detos where they currently live.
Finding this, Wijaya was happy, and he became much more enthusiastic about running the small business he had pioneered.
The next day he then started to deposit the light snacks he had to several shops in the upper village.
In the upper village, there are more people living than in the lower village, because in the upper village there is a complex, 3,8,7,10,12,11 which has a much larger population.
From Wijaya's estimate, there are at least 3000-3500 people in the upper village, and this is enough for all the snacks he has made to sell.
Wijaya even estimated that it would be less at certain moments such as weekends, where many children and adult men are off from their school and work schedules.
On the other hand, during this week, Wijaya also dated Ana again, and this time they dated at the night market near their house (as a note, a night market is a market that opens at night and its decorations provide many entertainment attractions, compared to normal markets that open in the morning, a night market is an existence that is often desired by many people when entertainment is not so much.
And as massive as in the future, with rides such as haunted houses, ferris wheels, bumper cars, fun waves, death motorbikes, and various other interesting games.
Everything is available at the night market, not to mention the night market only exists 2 weeks in a few months, because they always move from one place to another, maybe this is like a circus show in the western world that goes around)
