Doni again helped Amel by carrying a sizable bag of food that he had bought at the small food stall earlier. When Doni was about to go to his car to put his food, Amel quickly called out to him.

"Mas, where are you going?"

"Yes get in the car, I'll take Amel home." He answered and immediately got a smile from Amel.

"Sorry, Amel forgot to tell me that we've been sitting near Amel's home."

Loh, when? Where do you keep going, don't you look?" Doni asked confused while looking for the existence of Orphanage that Amel meant.

"yes, I don't see, the waiting man is there." Amel pointed towards the small alley that was right next to the food stall where they were buying food. The alley was very low lighting and relied only on light from street lamps. The size of the gate is also very small, can only be passed through one motorbike. When there is a motorbike coming from the opposite direction, forced one of the motorcyclists must relinquish to rewind the motorbike, to give way to another motorbike in order to pass.

Doni looked at Amel's hand. "So we get into that alley, Mel?" Doni asked in disbelief.

"Yes, mas. Kan Panti in the dalem there, so we have to walk to get in there. But if you don't want to not papa, let Amel alone bring the food."

"Don't, let me bring it. Same with the car." Doni quickly married Amel's remark of wanting to carry a bag filled with his food.

Doni headed straight for the wagon to open the rope used to tie up Amel's wagon that was deliberately tied to his car. Amel had offered to help, but again Doni rejected it for various reasons that Amel could not handle.

After unbinding the cart rope on his car, Doni immediately put a bag of rice wrap into the cart and pushed it into the alley to the orphanage where Amel lived.

Amel follows Doni from behind. He saw Doni having a hard time pushing his wagon. He again offered help and again was rejected outright by Doni.

"Mas, can you still push the wagon?" Amel asked when he saw Doni stop his urge.

"God willing, I can still do Mel." Replied Doni while wiping the sweat that had soaked his forehead.

"But Amel couldn't bear to see it, mas. Amel help you?"

"Not Mel. If Amel helps, where do you want to push? The alley's narrow, so where fit both."

"Oh yeah, Amel forgot." Reply Amel with a shy smile, confirming Doni's words.

🌸🌸🌸🌸

After a long time pushing the cart full of drama, they finally arrived in front of Amel's residence, the Mother's Orphanage. The house looks dim, only the light from the neighboring house of the orphanage makes the small courtyard of the home look a little bright.

"Mel, how dark is it? Where are the people?" Doni asked as they arrived at the courtyard of the orphanage.

"It's night, it's dark mas. We're connecting power from the neighbors, but because the electricity hasn't been paid to the house, so for a while we're dark-eight first." Answer Amel honestly.

"Sister Amel, finally brother came home too. We were waiting for brother. We are laper, brother. Sampe-sampe, some have already fallen asleep because waiting for kakaka to come home." Said the boy of one of Amel's younger brothers who was about eight years old.

"I'm sorry, brother came home long ago. But just calm down, tonight brother bring food for all of you." Reply Amel and immediately get a cheerful cheer from his sisters who were already very hungry waiting for him.

Doni looked at the scene in front of him instantly feeling sad. His heart ached to see the little ones cheering joyfully at the words of Amel who was carrying food. If Amel's sales don't sell, then they can't have dinner tonight and will sleep on a starving stomach. Doni immediately felt the smell could not imagine it.

Amel immediately introduced Doni to his younger brothers who were still loyal to embrace him.

"Oh yes, his dear sister Amel, this is Om Doni. He has bought all the sales of his brother and also helped his brother push the cart. In addition, it is also Om Doni who has bought us food. Let's say thank you to Om Doni but slowly, yes, because it's already malem." Amel spoke softly to his sisters.

"Thank you, Om Doni." The words of Amel's sisters were in unison in a quiet voice, afraid to wake the neighbors.

"Yes, now you wait for brother inside. Later brother will follow." Without protest they enter the parlor waiting for Amel to hand out food to them. "mmm...I'm sorry, Amel can't break the mas into the. It's really bad, not good with the neighbors."

"No papa, I understand. But if tomorrow we come here again, can't we?"

Amel turned to his mother for an answer.

"By kok, mas. We are happy to welcome you here." This time Rini as the owner of the Orphanage spoke up.

"Alright, if so I say go home first. God willing, I'll be here again tomorrow." Pamit Doni to Amel and Rini while cupping her hands to the chest.

"Yes please, mas. Thank you again, Amel." Amel said sincerely.

"Yes, equally. Assalamu'alaykum."

"Wa'alaykumussalam Warahmatullah." Amel and Rini answered at the same time.

After Doni leaves, Amel and Rini enter the orphanage after the children who have already entered. When he arrived inside, Amel immediately distributed food to his mother and his sisters who had been sitting sweetly on the floor with a plastic mat. They all ate very well. Naturally, they could only have dinner after Amel came home from selling.

🌸🌸🌸🌸

Doni drove his car at a moderate speed, because tonight the atmosphere of the streets was quite quiet. Along the way, Doni kept thinking about the fate of Amel and his little sisters, but had to live the hardships of life. Doni is determined to help finance their lives by becoming a permanent donor of the Mother's Orphanage. He also plans to renovate the Orphanage. Although only a glance he saw the condition of the Mother Love Orphanage, but he can see a little the condition of the orphanage that has been weathered in some parts. He will also install electricity so that the children of the home will no longer be dark at night.

"I have to go back to the home tomorrow. I can't wait to see the kids if the night has to be dark. Not to mention they had to endure hunger for waiting for Amel to come home. O Allah, had I not seen Amel tonight, would they have slept hungry on an empty stomach? Even Amel was at a young age, but he had to shoulder this heavy burden of life by being the backbone for his mother and younger siblings." Doni monologues while occasionally looking out at the streets.

Doni stopped the car in front of the minimarket to buy some types of bread, fruit and snacks are very much. Not to forget also he bought toys and stationery with a large amount so that the Amel sisters can play with as much as possible. Feeling quite shopping, Doni went straight to the cashier to pay for all his groceries. He handed his black card to the cashier, after which he brought all his shopping using a trolley to his car which was in the parking lot right in front of the minimarket.

Tomorrow morning Doni will continue to shop for groceries and clothes for Rini, Amel, and his sisters. Upon arriving at the parking lot of his apartment, Doni accidentally left all his shopping in the car, because tomorrow morning Doni will rent some pick up cars to put his shopping items.

Doni walks into his apartment with a shaky step. He felt tired, but that was nothing compared to the fatigue that Amel felt when pushing a fairly heavy cart while traveling around the city peddling sales. Profit from the sale was not much, just enough to buy food. While other needs, certainly Amel will try to find it with other work outside of selling boiled beans, and others.
