ARETTAS

TAXI DRIVER

Time has shown at 5pm.

the bustle of the capital still feels crowded. Making anyone who was in that place must have felt an immeasurable noise.

How not, the atmosphere of a private vehicle passing by. Coupled with vehicle smoke that makes anyone close the nose and mouth area tightly.

No exception with Aretta and the mother who had just set foot in the capital.

Aretta clasped her mother's hand tightly, as if she didn't want to take things off.

So does the mother who grasps her child's hand tightly with her right hand, while her left hand must be tote a bag that is quite large in size.

Before long the mother invited her child to sit on a small bench on the edge of the stall near them standing.

"Are, you sit here, baby. I'm gonna call you for a minute." Said the mother asked her son to sit in a chair while lowering a tote bag that had not separated from his arm.

"Are scared of mommy." Said Aretta who did not want to let go of her hand.

"while I'm going to." Said the mother who was still with her tenderness

Finally with a little heavy heart, Aretta released the grasp of the mother's hand.

"Well, I've reached the terminal with Aretta. Where's dad ?" Say mother's words after pressing the button on her phone.

"Yes mom, I'll be here soon. Wait a minute." The man across the phone.

Shortly after she put her phone back in the pocket of the shirt she was wearing, there came a light blue taxi that stopped right in front of Aretta and her mother.

tin. . tiiinn. . .

Instantly came out the middle-aged man from inside the taxi who immediately ran towards the voice coming from while carrying while raising the tiny and beautiful body.

"what's up Aretta my dear . . . ? Kaaangeen's father is very similar Are. Here hug dad !" The man's voice while stretching out his hands that are greeted by the embrace of the child.

"Aretta is also kaaaaaangeeeeen very dad." Say the little girl while peeking at the cheek of the father.

"Oh yeah dad, inget didn't promise me to be with Are at that time ?" Aretta.

"Promise ? What promise, I forgot ?" He rolled his eyes trying to remember.

"Ayaaah, how did you forget the promise ama Are ? Did you promise to take a walk using your taxi ?" While putting up his face.

"Every beautiful princess, let me take you where the princess wants to be." Said the father enthusiastically.

Then without waiting for long, taxis also glide down the streets of the capital that is still crowded. A smile from the corner of Aretta's tiny lips. He was very happy to realize that he and his beloved father and mother were driving around the streets in a taxi.

"Where are you going ?" Ask Dad.

"So, yeah, you want to buy cup noodles."

Aretta answered with her bright face, while prancing around a bit. Because his position at that time was indeed sitting in the back seat while occasionally standing.

While the mother only looked at her child from the rearview mirror, while occasionally smiling to see the behavior of the child and father who had not met for long enough.

Without realizing it, the taxi pulled over at a market. Without waiting for long, father, mother and Aretta immediately bought the desired necessities. And after everything was obtained, they immediately headed for a rented house located not far from the market.
