Behind the Grey Cloud

29 School Holidays

Today is the first day of the holidays.

This morning we have been busy with various preparations of yesterday's order.

The first menu today is rice with fried chicken side dishes with tucked sambal, capcay, and lalapan cabbage and cucumber.

For the cake, they asked for chocolate omelette rolls, fruit pie and onion sticks.

For food and cakes that can last a few days, we took a tasting from yesterday.

Seasonings and other cooking ingredients we prepared at dawn.

To cook the side dishes and his friends, it was my duty and that of Ms. Yasmin. While Aunt Mita and Bella prepare her cakes.

Cuisine and cake are ready to be packed.

We work together to help each other get this job done quickly.

At 11:00

Everything is ready to be picked up from the school

Actually yesterday Aunt Mita offered us a delivery, but her word is the school has prepared a vehicle to pick her up.

At 11:10 the pick-up vehicle arrived. Rice and cake were transported to school.

Thank God today's order went smoothly and hopefully until the end of the holiday later can also be smooth like this. Aamiin 🤲

After all the transportation was done, Aunt Mita and I went to the market to shop for groceries.

Tomorrow they ask with a menu of tilapia bakar, sambal terasi, and also lalapan.

Grateful Aunt Mita has an acquaintance of a friend who has a variety of fish business. Nila is one of them.

For the cake, they asked for risoles filled chicken, mochi, and also fruit pudding.

After shopping, Aunt Mita took me to a gold shop.

I thought Aunt Mita would buy her own gold. But when I got there, he told me to choose for myself.

" Lhoh? Why did Mayang choose Tan? Mayang no longer want to buy." answered me.

" Today we can profit a lot May. So this is a gift for you. Pocket choose gih." said Aunt Mita to me.

Because of the many choices, I was confused about which one to choose. After pondering for a moment, finally my choice fell on a small chain necklace with the initials of the riot M, as well as a simple ring with one jewel.

After that, we went home.

I'm so grateful to Aunt Mita. But when passing through a doll shop, I invite Aunt Mita to stop by for a while. I want to give a doll to Rani.

I chose a blue unicron motif doll and also a small brown Teddy bear.

' May Rani like this doll.' I said in my heart.

***

" Old mom is really shopping. Rani kangen tau."

Just now that we got in front of the house, Rani was already waiting with a frown.

Today Rani wants to come to the market. But he was playing to his house when we were leaving. So he was left behind.

" Yes sorry dear." said Aunt Mita while hugging her child.

" In exchange, my sister has a gift for Rani" I said as I took out the doll I had bought for her.

" waaaah, my beloved unicron doll and Teddy bear. Thanks brother?" he said while hugging the two dolls.

Soon he forgot his sadness for not going to the market

' Ah children are indeed very easily persuaded and seduced.' I murmured inwardly.

After that we all went into the house.

It feels like all day working and continuing shopping. I decided to take a shower first and then rest.

I took a towel and prepared to go to the bathroom.

After taking a shower, I glanced at the clock on the wall.

After just putting my body on the bed, my phone suddenly rang. There's a call from Zen

" hello assalamualaikum May. What are you doing again?" ask Zen across there.

" wa'alaikum salam Zen, this is just about to rest. This whole day was tired of shopping." I replied to Zen.

" Oh, so I'm bothering you?" ask Zen again

" Aren't the Zen. Oh yeah, how did you work today? Hard isn?" ask me back.

" If work is not difficult. But rid you of my difficult thoughts. I keep thinking of you May. I miss you." answered him

" Ah, you're tuh lebai. hahahaha" I responded with a laugh.

Actually I miss Zen too, but we have to study independently. It is also for our own future.

" Aren't you missing me?" ask him to me.

"No." I replied with a laugh.

" Consider you. You'll see me pinching your nose."

" Aww Awwww awww takuuuttt." I replied seductively.

Momentary silence.

" May,." call Zen

" Hmmm, "my answer is short.

" I want to stay with you May, I don't want to lose you" she said seriously.

" Never stay with me for any reason, May?" pinta Zen.

" Yes depends on dong Zen. Suppose you hurt me, when I can't leave you? It's good at you not good at me dong." answered me with a little joke.

" But I promise I won't hurt you, May. I hurt the people I love. Which I love.

Didn't meet you a day gini aja it feels longing this is unbearable May." answered seriously.

" yaa Zen. Let's go through this storyline if there is one. Hopefully we can be together. Aamiin's."

Shortly thereafter, we ended the conversation.

Zen is getting ready to go home. And I'm still going to rest.

I put my phone to my bedside table. Then justify my sleeping position and try to close my eyes.

Suddenly, my memory goes back to the days of Junior High. Where in those days I had a hard time. But after the difficulties passed, slowly God sent me happiness.

He sent me a woman who cared for me and loved me. Who thinks of me as her real daughter

Also a very attentive friend. Very dear and understanding to each other. He's my frog prince.

How is he doing now?

For two years we never wrote a letter.

I pray that he will always be healthy and happy.

May the ideals that have been aspired to be realized.

Ali said he really wanted to be a doctor.

A doctor who never looks at the status of a sick person even though that person again has no money.

Because he had felt heartache when he was rejected by the hospital when he brought his mother to check.

She had to swallow the hospital attendant's repulsion bitterly and bring back her mother so that her sick mother got worse.

Really sad indeed.

Medical personnel who are supposed to number one on the health and safety of the patient, must hurt the patient's family on administrative grounds.

The pain does not look at status.

The pain can come at any time and at anyone.
