10 Years ago....

At that time Dimas was 25 years old, he was in a hurry to leave the office with his car. Not paying attention to the road, Dimas hit a small child who was riding a bicycle to go to school.

Dimas was shocked and he got out of his car.

"uhhh..." The little girl nodded while holding her ankle.

"jeez, deck... Are you okay??" dimas asked in a panic, checking on the little girl.

"fani's feet are sick om.." the boy cried in pain.Yes, the boy was a 10-year-old little Fani.

Dimas immediately carried the child and took him to the hospital for treatment. After getting treatment, Dimas also drove Fani to his home.

"Husily..who did that come??" Tanya Dika was curious, because before her there was never a car that came to their house.

Nita came out of the stall, and she was shocked when she saw Fani being carried by the man, Adimas.

"Loh, my son why mas?? "

Nita was shocked when she saw the bandage on Fani's leg.

"Sorry Mom, I accidentally bumped into my mother's son. " Dimas apologized politely and gently. Slightly afraid also inner, afraid that Nita will be angry big.

"Geez.., if so please take her to her room mas."

Dimas followed Nita to Fani's room.

"Sorry mom, before her. But I was in a hurry to have some urgent business. This is a little money for the treatment of the mother's child, and this is my business card ma'am, if you need something mom just call ya." said Dimas sungkan.

"Once again I'm sorry mom. If tomorrow there is time I will stop by again to bring the child's control mother to the hospital." he continued again while standing from the bed Fani.

"Om sorry for being so sorry, you're not." Dimas stroked the head of Fani who was lying limp.

Fani just nodded slowly while smiling lightly at Dimas.

"yes. yes. It's nothing. But it was not intentionally. And I don't have to bother, tomorrow let me take Fani to the hospital." Nita understood the incident, and she asked Dimas who wanted to leave.

"I say yes buk.." said Dimas when he arrived at the front door, while greeting Nita.

The following day Adimas often stopped by the house of little Fani to ensure the healing of Fani, and over time they became familiar like family.

Fani who is getting better also often play with Dimas, Dimas happens to be very fond of children, so he is very happy to play with Fani and his younger brothers,especially there is ayu who is still a baby, making Dimas more comfortable in Nita's house.

Dimas also often eats at the Nita stall in his yard. With his favorite menu is oseng kates and chicken rica rica.

"Who wants to go with the street??" exciting Dimas.

"Now.. Dika follow om.. Nurul wants to..!! Fani wants.." they said in unison with great zeal.

Immediately Dimas leads them to his car, he intends to invite Fani and his sister to a playground.

Carefully Dimas fitted the seat belts for them one by one.

Arriving at one of the malls, Fani and her sister unceasingly amazed to see the grandeur of the mall.

Dimas just smiled angrily at their behavior. It would have been adorable if he had a sister in his house. He will be very comfortable at home.

They try out all the games that are there, but because of fatigue walking, Fani's legs feel pain because they have not fully recovered.

Seeing Fani limping, Dimas approached her and lowered his head towards Fani.

"Fani's foot is sick again??" asked Dimas while holding Fani's shoulder.

"iya om a bit of pain that. Maybe because Fani jumped there earlier." He groaned slowly, his forehead even sweating.

"Yes, if so, we go home. Let's get some rest."

Fani just nodded with a small smile.

"Grandfather, we're going home now. About his feet brother Fani sick, om promise tomorrow that brother Fani is healthy we play here again." Dimas exclaimed to his younger brother Fani with a smile, he was afraid that they would be disappointed because they were not satisfied playing.

But it turns out they quickly gathered and agreed to the words of Dimas.

"ayo om, the hunt so that Fani kak can quickly rest" said Nurul and accompanied by Dika who mangosteen mangosteen.

"Come here, Fani om gendong aja so as not to add to his leg pain." said Dimas while lifting Fani's small body.

Fani said, and they came home early.

Their closeness is getting closer and closer, Fani was already very familiar on Dimas deserves his om with nephew.

Similarly to his mother Fani, he already considers Dimas like his own son. Even though they are only 15 years old.

Dimas also often helps the Fani family, sometimes he also escorted or picked up Fani and his sister school when free.

2 Years passed quickly..

Dimas visited Fani's house and said he would move out of the country, because he would work and get married there.

"Mothers.. I say yes, sorry that I am so wrong with my family." Dimas hugged Nita tightly, their age distance was actually not too far away. But the motherly nature of Nita makes Dimas feel, that Nita is indeed worthy of being called a mother.

"iya boy. You heart yes.do not forget the same mother, if you come back here to stop by mother's place as well." Nita rubbed Dimas' shoulder gently. He considered Dimas as his eldest son.

"Om pamit yaa... Fani who diligently learn, om will definitely miss the same of you all." said Dimas while gently rubbing Fani's head. The bond between them really makes Dimas sad, because it will be separated.

"iya om. om hearty yaa, and Fani doain may wife om want to be moved here. so we can be together again" he said with a hopeful face.

Dimas then kissed Fani's forehead and hugged her, and her two younger siblings. He will remember those adorable children, the children who always color his days. The kids who made him forget were tired.
