章節 23: Support From Mother and Ana
Time passed, and now it was evening when Wijaya had to pick up his mother again, as well as Celine who he had picked up this afternoon.
Now she was going out to play with her friends, and would come home when her mother was picked up by Wijaya.
Unlike yesterday, Wijaya who picked up his mother, did not stop to buy food, because he had made a simple dish when he was free before picking up his mother.
The dishes made were stir-fried water spinach, fried eggs, and also chili sauce with vegetables, not forgetting crackers if included.
And all of those dishes took almost an hour to make, because of time constraints and also because he didn't want to be too bothered, so Wijaya only cooked those dishes.
As for heavy dishes such as chicken, meat or fish, Wijaya could also cook them, it just took more time to make them and he was too lazy to make them on weekdays, unlike if it was a holiday.

As usual, His family ate in a relaxed and happy atmosphere, until the dinner session was over.
Wijaya asked his mother for time, where then they both remained in the dining room.
"What's wrong Jay?" His mother asked.
"There's something Wijaya needs to tell you Mom, and it might make you feel uncomfortable." Wijaya immediately said, clarifying the purpose of asking his mom to talk.
"Oh…what's that?" His mom asked again curiously.
"Wijaya decided to do a small business, mom…then he started explaining at length about the business he meant.
On the other hand, his mom continued to listen to Wijaya's explanation in silence, from time to time there was a look of surprise, a little annoyance and anger as she listened to Wijaya's explanation.
Until finally Wijaya finished his explanation, his mother just took a deep breath.
There was a distant look in his mother's eyes, as if she had thought a lot about what Wijaya had done.
"Have you told your father?" His mom asked.
"Yes, mom," Wijaya answered immediately.
"Then what was your father's response?" His mother asked again.
"Father only advised Wijaya to manage his time and not let Wijaya fall behind in his studies," Wijaya replied again.
"Then, I agree, But just like your father said, don't miss your study time.
I know that when you grow up you have your own thoughts about your life, but I didn't know that it would happen so quickly.
I'm happy but also sad on one hand, happy because you are now starting to become a mature and responsible man but sad because I realize that you have grown up and I am getting older.
On the other hand, I also feel that it seems that our family is in a less than good situation, until you think like that to start a business while you are in college.
Even though I also know that becoming a graduate is not easy, I still believe that you can do it.
So now, I advise you, don't disappoint the feeling of trust given by your mom and father, because both us only hope that you can live better than us," his mom advised Wijaya at length.
On the other hand, Wijaya also patiently accepted all of his mom's advice (because he knows that you may be smarter than your parents in some ways, but when it comes to life experience, you have to admit that your parents are more qualified than you.
So there's nothing wrong with listening to their advice as long as it's good and feels right for you, about rejection, don't show it in front of them because it will hurt your parents' feelings.)
And that's what Wijaya thought when he remembered moments in the past, because he felt better and smarter than his parents and felt he was a knowledgeable student.
He often ignored his parents' advice which resulted in him regretting it later, so Wijaya didn't want to do that again
He'd rather be stupid in front of his parents and make them happy than have to act smart and hurt both of them, because he knew how much his parents loved him.
And he knew, he couldn't repay his parents' love with anything.
After completing the final obstacle that he was afraid of at the beginning, now in the end Wijaya felt very happy because he no longer had a burden to bear.
He could freely and openly do what he decided in front of his parents, of course Wijaya also had to maintain the trust of his parents.
But what surprised Wijaya again was when he saw his mother return to the dining room, carrying several dollar bills in her hand.
And said "this may not be much, but hopefully it can help your business Jay, I just hope you won't be down when you fail, because failing in business.
is something ordinary" his mother handed over 2 dollar bills with a nominal value of 200 dollars and this was a very meaningful number for Wijaya.
When he was thinking about where the additional capital came from, now suddenly his mother gave him the additional capital, and Wijaya felt happy and touched in his heart.
"Emm… Wijaya knows mom, thank you" Wijaya answered in a strong tone and was full of gratitude and affection.
Holding the additional 200 dollars given by his mother, Wijaya felt that he could now go further with his snacks.
At least he could now make 12 large snack packs for his additional business.
And this meant a profit that was doubled again than before.
Imagining this, Wijaya felt happy and he returned to his room to rest and tell Ana the good news.
In the room, while lying on the bed, Wijaya was seen busy replying to messages sent by Ana.
"Have you had dinner?" Ana asked.
"Yes, how about you?" Wijaya replied again.
"I just did too, then what about your business?" Ana replied while then asking another question.
"Good if you have, don't be late because it's not good for your health. About the Snack business I have received my mom permission and the results are good," Wijaya replied happily to Ana's message.
"Oh… tell me the process, I want to know!!!" Ana urged Wijaya to tell the story of when he received his mother's tofu.
After some explanation, Ana finally said.
"Your mother is indeed a caring woman, she doesn't forbid you and instead supports you" Ana praised Wijaya's mother's attitude after she heard the story explained by Wijaya to her
"Then honey what are you going to do with the additional capital?" Ana asked again.
"Of course make it bigger honey," Wijaya answered.
"Okay, then I support you and if you need additional capital, I have a little savings here!" Ana then spoke again about her desire to also help Wijaya.
"Ahh… honey… are you serious!!!!
