Behind the Grey Cloud

18 Arrival of Ms. Yasmin

After all the cooking is done, now is when we pack the cake and rice.

Bella and I are doing rice, side dishes are also her friends. While Aunt Mita packed the cakes.

At 10:45 minutes, all are ready to pick up. Because the show's at 11:00

While waiting for the order to be picked up I got permission to take a shower first. It feels like working from earlier.

After I took a shower, the order was picked up and Bella had permission to go home because her mother was sick.

After that, Aunt Mita is also preparing to attend an event organized by Bu RT.

I asked permission not to come. Because I'm not a real citizen here.

I reasoned that I would do my schoolwork which must be completed immediately on Aunt Mita and Aunt Mita did not mind.

I'm home with Rani.

After school, Rani did not come out of the room. He said he wanted to read the storybook I bought the other day.

" Ran, how did you get out of the room? Aren't you hungry?" I was in front of the tv room.

But there is no lawfulness.

I finally walked into his room. He fell asleep while hugging the book.

I looked at her with a smile and corrected her sleeping position.

' You're beautiful and funny Ran. You're lucky to have a mama like Aunt Mita' my mumble.

He just squirmed and continued his beautiful dream.

I went back to the tv room. I turned on the tv. But there's no good show at this hour.

I turned it off again.

Then I went into the room. I looked at the letter from Ali.

'Ah Ali's. I miss you.' I murmured

I smiled and took the letter again. I never get tired of reading it even though it's been repeated over and over again.

Reading it can take a bit of a treat for my longing.

"Assynoltomodel.."

I'm appalled. It was like the voice of Ms. Yasmin.

I half ran to the front to open the door for Ms. Yasmin.

" Wa'alaikum hail ma'am." I answered while hugging Ms. Yasmin.

I miss the woman who has been willing to take care of me. He loved me sincerely even though we had no blood relation.

" Mom has arrived. What time did you leave home?" I asked while bringing the souvenirs that Ms. Yasmin brought from the village.

" So mom left early, son. Because I miss you so much. I can't wait to see you." she replied as she pinched my spoiled Bangir nose.

"I also miss my mother very much." I replied while hugging her again

" Oh yeah, Aunt Mita where's May? How to get a lonely house." asked Ms. Yasmin.

" Yes, I want to go to the toilet for a while" she said.

" Yes Ma'am. Mayang wait in the room." answered me

After coming from the toilet, my mother followed me to my room.

"May, there's been an event? It looks like it's a big cook in the kitchen." asked Ms. Yasmin

" That's anu ma'am." I replied nervously.

" What's up, May?" search for Ms. Yasmin

" But I promise you don't get angry." I replied

" What the hell is it?" her questions are getting curious

" So gini ma'am, now Mayang help Aunt Mita open cathering. And it just so happened that there was an order for the RT show." I replied

" May's.. You're the mother told me to stay here for school. Make a real learning. But you're even working?" gerutu Ms. Yasmin.

" Mom, wait. Listen to Mayang's explanation first Ma'am. So gini, Aunt Mita is now the sewing order is quiet because most customers now prefer to buy online. And continue the family of papa Rani will ask Rani if until Aunt Mita can not take care and support Rani. If Aunt Mita works, they don't want to. Because he said later Rani had no friends and no one to take care of. For that Mayang proposed to Aunt Mita to open a cathering business only. The income is good, ma'am. Now you can pay one employee. And that employee is Bella Ma'am. My friend SD first." obviously I'm at length with Ms. Yasmin.

" But this will disrupt your school, son. Didn't you promise your father to be a successful man?" said Ms. Yasmin.

" Thank God, it doesn't bother you at all, ma'am. Most of the time in the village Kan Mayang also sells while in school as well, and do not disturb learning Mayang right. The proof is that Mayang can still get the best value." I said to convince Ms. Yasmin.

He seemed to take a heavy breath and exhaled slowly.

" Yes it's okay. But you don't forget to keep learning ya." finally Miss Yasmin collapsed as well.

" I'm sorry Yas." Suddenly Auntie Mita came in and held Ms. Yasmin's hand as her apology.

" I'm sorry for bringing Mayang into my life. I should have not approved of his proposal at that time. I should have let Rani stay with her papa's family." said Aunt Mita, crying softly.

" My, I don't blame you. I was just surprised to hear this news, and why I wasn't told" Yasmin said.

" If it's about that, it's Mayang who asked Mom. Mayang asks Aunt Mita not to tell mom. Mayang does not want to make you think." I replied to Ms. Yasmin.

" Yes, Son. Maybe if you knew this over the phone, you wouldn't calm down. Because I saw it for myself, I can calm down now. I'm sure you can share your study and work time. I'm sure you can hold on to your academic grades."

We finally embraced. Feel calm and comfortable.

I am so happy to have a family like them. Because besides them I have no one else. The family of the father lived and settled on the island of Borneo. While from my mother there was only Ms. Saripah and she never cared about me either.

I am grateful to be reunited with Ms. Yasmin and Aunt Mita. Also Rani, a beautiful little girl and also like her mother.

I smiled at myself thinking about him.

While we were hugging, Rani, the little girl came.

" What the hell is this Ma? How are you all hugging? Rani also wants dong in the hug." Rani also sulks. And we embraced back.

Laughter and joy we feel today.

Because the sincerity of the heart is finally all right.

May we all always get along and love each other as we are today.

I hope there are no problems that can get us far.

Aami..
