The man returned to his house, it seemed that he had not stepped on his parents' residence for a long time. Full of memories in it. It would be wonderful if he could live that time as well as possible. His sister helped the man to lie down in his room to rest. The younger brother he used to hate is now willing to take care of him. He was so guilty all this time.
"What do you want to eat? Let mother bring it here," asked the middle-aged woman.
The man never ventured into food. Whatever is available will definitely be eaten. Because it is very important for him to appreciate the food that has been made. It doesn't feel good if you have to bid for the food that has been provided.
"Good morning Kelly." Say hello to the girl who just came down from her room.
"Oh yeah, today you have a day off from school, because you haven't taken care of your school transfer. Is that okay?" Asked the girl.
The boy nodded in understanding. Today Kelly will be looked after by herself as she comes in during the day. While later in the afternoon he will be guarded by Rayhan while waiting for the girl to return.
The girl was seen preparing food for the three of them. Rayhan will be home at 10 pm so the girl separates the food for the boy to eat later.
Alysa told the child to eat first while Alysa would continue to clean the house. But the child is not used to eating alone because the orphanage always eats together. Kelly chose to help the girl clean up.
"Eh, don't worry, it's okay, let's just be with my brother," said the girl forbade her sister to help her.
The child likes to help, he explains that apart from eating together, he also likes to clean the orphanage together. Alysa smiled hearing that because such a small child already understands about gotong royong.
The girl finished, the two women went straight to the dining table. Between meals they talked about him and Kelly so they could get to know each other better.
The man was daydreaming, his work was not focused because he was thinking about something where Rayhan had to go back and forth from Jakarta to several cities which his late mother bought. Even when she asked her sister for permission, the girl seemed hesitant to allow Rayhan to travel far because Alysa would automatically be alone. Even though Kelly was there, there was no one to look after the girl. He also thought of Dirham's words when the man spoke. His best friend even suggested that he immediately marry Zahra so that while the man was gone, his sister would have friends and not be lonely.
"Married? Should I get married? So soon?" The man's mind wondered.
"Ham, the customer," said one of his co-workers who broke the man's daydream.
On the other hand, the man who helped Alysa the other day is getting better. He can start to step a little bit even though there is a slight ache that is felt. As long as he was sick, it was not only Alysa who paid attention to the man, but the woman who became his household assistant as well. Even though she had a baby she could divide her time to take care of Petra too. For some reason, he seemed to be very compatible with her even though he was a household assistant and employer. Because at a young age he can take care of himself, his children and now Petra as his boss.
"Oh yes, if I may know, the father of your child has never taken custody of your child? It's because as long as you are working with me, it seems that you have never taken care of your separation letter," asked the man.
The woman was silent and then she looked down.
"Actually I'm not married. The person I visited at the hospital, that was just a father figure for Raysa, not my real husband. Raysa was born without a father at that time, her biological father was somewhere. I was 9 months pregnant accompanied by a man I visited at home sick. Yes, I was pregnant out of wedlock when I was in high school. And now the man who is always with me, he is suffering. And I have to leave because I don't want to add to the burden anymore so I am looking for a job and luckily I found you who want to love I do this job," the woman explained.
The man was silent when he heard the explanation of the woman in front of him. It turned out that the woman's life was very hard to live. But Petra applauds because she is not like a woman who is pregnant out of wedlock in general. Which often throws away or kills her baby out of hatred. Instead, she took good care of him even though his child was the result of his past mistakes.
"I salute you for still taking care of your baby until now. At least you are aware that your baby has done nothing wrong. In fact, he is the one who brought good changes to your life. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll help," said Petra who smiled back by the woman. He was also grateful that the man was not disgusted with him even though he knew the woman had done dirty things in the past.
"You're the same age as my college friend. Her name is Alysa. She's also as good as you. Unfortunately it's hard for me to introduce her to you because she's busy," said the man.
"Brother home, brothers and sisters where are you?"
Shouted the man who immediately embraced by his two brothers. It seemed that Rayhan's presence was always awaited by the two women. True, the atmosphere at home has become different since Kelly's presence.
"Sis, I'll go first. I'll leave my favorite youngest sister. Be careful not to push it," said the girl mocked her sister.
"You don't have to leave Kelly, you will definitely take care of your dear sister. Isn't that right, Kel?" Asked the man to which Kelly nodded.
The girl said goodbye and went to campus because she had class at 12 later. The girl deliberately left early because she was going to the library first to buy some Linguistics course books. The courses taught by Mr. Arif really did not enter the girl's brain. He didn't know how many more books he had to read in order to understand the material. It seemed that the lecture with the young lecturer wanted to end immediately.
Alysa is now in the library to borrow some books that she will study. But his eyes were distracted by a collection of poetry books and romance novels. He also took the book to study. Studying love courses for example, hehe.
Bruck!
The books that the girl was carrying fell. I don't know why while walking the girl's hobby is crashing. He apologized to the person he hit while packing his books back.
"You actually borrowed this many books to pass my course."
