BETTING

HOMECOMING

"Sir ..."

Celine hugged them one by one. His foster children. There was a longing piled up during this week he left them all behind.

"Where's the boy going?"

"Old time to go home?"

"Sister, Dafi fought with Andi. Cake scramble."

"Sister, what's wrong in the village? Is there a rambutan?"

"Sister, I'm a bibik's cook. I want a brother to cook."

"Sister. I have a lot of PR. It's hard to answer. Ajarin, Brother."

"Sister, my shirt is torn. Buy them new, yeah."

"Sister, Susi's chatty. If there's a sister she's good."

"Sister."

Celine looked. The princess looks beautiful with her hair tied up. His legs are still limping. Still wearing sticks. The weight of the heart is actually the time to leave them even if only a week.

"Dear." Celine hugged him. This little girl was disabled after the accident. "How areyou? Healthy?"

"healthy. Old brother left. We miss."

"Kan, just for a second."

"But it feels a long time."

"This is my brother coming home. Let's eat some cake. I bought a lot." A little more if he continued his sentence, tears would definitely spill.

The girl nodded. Following Celine and the others towards the dining table.

Bik Onah hugged him tightly. Susi too. Home is the most comfortable place to go home.

"Let's sit down first. Brother bring souvenirs. From the village."

White Lies's. A little bit of lying about his disappearance. He told everyone he was coming home. Even though he himself did not have. Don't know where he's from.

A beautiful honeymoon in the beginning but painful in the end. They're only a few days out of town. After that, go back to the apartment.

Last day in the apartment, her husband didn't come home all night. I don't know where he is, there's no news at all. The next morning came and took me home.

Celine wants to be angry, but she's not. Considering that the man is the ruler over all his life and also the parlour.

He chose silence. Follow whatever he wants. Sure enough, suddenly his phone rang. Signaling some money coming in. The value is quite large. He doesn't need to find another donor. Enough of her husband, Bhishma.

"What's the big deal, brother?" One by one they sat down neatly. Their eyes glittering with pleasure

"This is cake. A minute, brother for me. Can't be wrested." He placed the pieces of cake on the small plates that had been prepared. Bik Onah and Susi are indeed fast-moving when it comes to food.

While the children were eating voraciously, he sat quietly while observing. This time a lot of portions. They can eat until they are satisfied, until they are full. The money that Bhishma sent was even enough for up to the next two months.

"Partially for the needs of the home. Another portion of my living is for you, dear." whispered the man affectionately before they parted.

"Thank you, brother." He's bowed in shame. The bisma became more and more anxious at that time. Want to spice it back up, if not remember he also had to go home.

The man drove him just to travel, then they separated. There was sadness in Celine's heart. After all, it felt like she wanted to be near her husband, always.

"Eh, Neng. Rest first. Let aunt Susi who ngeliatin children. Neng must be tired."

Celine flinched from her daydream. He stepped into the room. Nothing changed after the week he left.
