ALVIN Trying to Rise

Shaded

...Happy Reading ...

......................

The weekend that Alvin was waiting for finally happened, now Alvin is riding his motorcycle at moderate speed, splitting the city streets that look crowded smoothly.

The wind that hit during the trip was very soothing, as he imagined the face of his mother who he had missed so much.

After a long time working with a new boss who makes it very busy, ranging from taking care of the company to taking care of the family problems of the boss, he said, until yesterday he also had to jump in to help take care of the event aqikah his boss' second son named Zain.

Although Alvin himself did not deny, it all took quite a lot of time, until now there is no more leisure in his life, even just to meet his mother.

Moments later, Alvin stopped his motorbike in the hospital parking area. Alvin was admitted to the hospital where his mother was being treated.

Today he has not gotten an impromptu phone call from his boss who loves giving away those sudden errands. So he took the time to visit his mother, as well as pay for the care of his mother.

Alvin went straight to the administration room to take care of his mother's care first, before meeting with the doctor who had made an appointment with him, then seeing his mother in a regular place.

Moments later, Alvin is now in the park seat where his mother's favorite day spent. Of course along with that middle-aged woman, who was now sitting next to him, who else if not Ganis.

"Well, I'm sorry, lately Alvin rarely visited, Mama, here," said Alvin Iirih while seeing the reaction of Ganis.

Ganis looked at Alvin, his eyes looking teary even though no words came out of his lips.

"Alvin is now busy working again, so rarely here.  Maafin Alvin yes, Mah," said Alvin smiled gently, his hands slowly stretched out to grasp the thin hands of his mother.

When there was no reaction again, Alvin just spoke again.

"Mommy, how's it going here? It's fine, right? Alvin's happy that Mama's all right now." Alvin asked and answered himself.

"Well, Alvin now works in the family of Mr. Darmendra, precisely with his eldest son. Mamah, remember not the same friend of the Father, who nolongin us when the Father broke?"

"Oh, you must have forgotten, that's a long time ago." Alvin spoke again.

"They're good, Mah. Alvin can also feel involved in the happiness of the Darmendra family ... Alvin is like having a new family" Alvin said again, starting his story with his mother.

His memory was rolling when he helped his boss' son's event, there he could see how the family's happiness that he could even feel, even though he was not part of the big family.

Alvin talked and told Ganis a lot about his daily life, so it did not feel like the day was turning noon, and Ganis had to go back to his room to have lunch and rest.

"Sus, can I feed Mama something to eat?" alvin asked, as they were walking towards Ganis's nursery.

"Of course I can, later I will watch from outside the room" replied the nurse who takes care of Ganis.

Hearing that Alvin smiled happily. After all this time he rarely get a chance to visit when his mother eats, now he can have the opportunity to feed his mother.

"Thank you, Sus," said Alvin.

A while later Alvin was already in Ganis's ward feeding her.

"When I was little, Mama, who loved to feed me, and after Alin, Mamah, she still loved to prepare food for me." Alvin spoke in a raucous voice, holding a dry feeling in his throat as a result of holding back a cry.

A beautiful childhood with his happy family, now only lives memories when the Father and Alin are no longer there. However, that is what now makes Alvin strong to achieve other happiness, namely living alone with his mother.

"Good promise yes, to stay strong and accompany me here. So that we can be together again like before," said Alvin, carried away by his suddenly sad mood.

After feeding Ganis lunch, Alvin has now gone out of the hospital, with longing for Father and Alin also felt in his heart.

He returned to ride his motorbike to the tomb of Father and Alin, to release his longing by making a pilgrimage to the tomb while sending prayers there.

Some time while at the meal Father and his sister, before the afternoon Alvin out of the public cemetery area. For some reason the once sunny weather is turning cloudy with gray clouds rolling in the sky, preparing to release every drop of water water watering the earth and its contents.

"Well, it's raining!" alvin said as he felt the water still hitting his body.

Sure enough in the middle of the road Alvin was forced to take shelter in one of the restaurants. He deliberately chose a restaurant, because his stomach which turned out to have felt a rumbling considering since morning he had not eaten.

"Take a dive to drink water, while we eat shady," said Alvin into the restaurant.

Alvin ordered his lunch menu and then sat alone by the glass wall, seeing the rain that was getting heavier, making the restaurant look more crowded by people who shelter as well as eat.

Meanwhile, outside the restaurant a motor sport just stopped, then the two men ran towards the terrace of the restaurant.

"What did I say? Being told to use a car, even insistent want to use a motorbike, it will be gini!" grumbled a woman while patting her clothes that were already wet with rain water.

"Yes, Sorry. I don't think it's gonna rain. We will see the weather is good" replied the man in a leather jacket.

"Here you go, don't get angry, let us in, I'm hungry" the man continued, holding the woman's hand beside him and then entered the restaurant.

However, due to the large number of visitors look almost all the tables already there are filling. Seeing all that, the man seemed to call the waiter to find a seat.

After a moment of looking, the waiter approached Alvin who was seen sitting room by himself.

"Sorry, Sir. What, you, is waiting for someone?" ask the waiter.

"No," replied Alvin briefly.

"Then, is it okay, you, to share a place with two other people?" ask the restaurant waiter.

Alvin was silent as if he was thinking about something, though then he nodded.

"Thank you, sir," said the waiter, who only got a faint nod from Alvin.

The man and woman were directed to the table where Alvin sat, until they finally arrived and Alvin who was turning their backs turned and gradually eyes with the two men.

"Alvin?"

"Jani?"
