Erika grimaced with pain and immediately sat in a chair at a stop on the side of the road. He had just come home from one of the elementary schools to enroll Akbar in school. Today he took another day off work, and like her Erika will no longer work at the cafe, considering she who seems unable to work too tired again.
"Sister, pain again his waist huh?" tanya Akbar looked worried. Especially when looking at Erika's paled face.
"Yes, you can buy some water first. Stay there" pointed Erika at a small shop on the side of the road.
Akbar nodded and grabbed Erika's money. He ran quickly to buy water. Erika is waiting with Ayu.
"Sister, why don't you buy some medicine?" ask Ayu. He looked at Erika with sadness.
Erika smiled and rubbed Ayu's head gently.
"Later to buy medicine. Don'worry. I'm fine" replied Erika.
Yes, it seemed like he would indeed have to buy medicine later. At least pain medication to relieve this pain. If this continues, how can he find money. At least he can paint now, pretty much his work is paid quite high.
Tin
The sound of the car horn made Erika and Ayu gasp. A pink car was parked in front of them.
Who???
Erika blinked her eyes when she saw Nindi coming out of the car. The beautiful girl seemed to smile kindly at him. Erika had made him wretched, but still friendly like this. And that made Erika ashamed actually.
"Rik, why are you here?" nindi asked as she approached Erika.
Erika smiled and shook her head.
"There is no way, just the way" replied Erika.
Nindi nodded and immediately sat down beside Ayu.
"Hi. What's your name?" ask Nindi to Ayu
"Sir" answered Ayu
"What a good name. The road is like this afternoon Rik. Hot knows" said Nindi.
"Sister Erika finished listing Ayu's sister school" said Ayu.
Erika immediately smiled wryly hearing that.
"Ooohhh pantesan out during the day. Then that's why your face is pale. Sick again?" ask Nindi again
"What's up. What are you doing here?" ask Erika directly. Don't let Ayu divulge any more about him. Erika really doesn't want to be pitied.
"Jalan aja disperse invitation. Oh yes, this is an invitation for you. Don't forget to come." said Nindi while taking out a beautiful invitation from her bag and handing it to Erika.
Erika accepted it slowly.
"Princess" murmured Erika
Nindi nodded quickly.
"Yes, he wants to marry the same manager in the showroom of doctor Danar. You should come later" Nindi said again
"Insha Allah" answered Erika.
"Oh yes Rik, this morning we looked at your father in the hospital. How come you're not around, we asked your mom, and they said they didn't know where you were?" ask Nindi
Erika stunned. What does she have to answer???
"I'll be dropping off Ayu's sister's school list " replied Erika with her awkward smile.
"But they say you haven't been home for a long time and squirm"
deg
Erika's heart was immediately struck hearing that.
Why the hell, when yesterday he came but they kicked out. Is Nindi lying?
"Where are you now?" ask Nindi
"Sister.this is the water. Akbar also bought medicine for his brother" said Akbar.
Erika smiled and nodded.
His eyes suddenly looked at a passing bus.
"Nin. It was so noon. Thanks invitation. If there is time I will come" said Erika as she moved and grimaced a little.
Nindi looked at Erika in surprise.
"Yuk.. we take the bus" Erika asked Akbar and Ayu. And when the bus stopped, Akbar and Ayu went up first.
"Come Nin. Assalamualaikum" said Erika. And then he got on the bus without waiting for a response from Nindi.
"Waalaikumsalam" muttered Nindi while looking at the departure of Erika who had gone with the bus.
"What happened to Erika?" nindi's mumbling looked confused.
Erika's face was pale, it seemed like she was in pain. And again, last night he and the Princess visited Erika's father in the hospital, along with Maira who also checked the womb. And strangely when they visited Erika's father, they said that Erika had not come home for months. No one visited them.
It's so strange...
Erika is a spoiled child and very close to her parents. It would be impossible if he just left. Especially now that it could be seen if Erika had already changed for the better. Although now Erika looks simpler. Yes, there is no more Erika with her clothes and branded goods. Now only Erika with her Muslim dress that Nindi knew it was a cheap item scattered in the market roadside.
What exactly happened?
Why is Nindi so curious about the girl's life?
Especially when he saw Erika who was always with the two children. All he was sure about was that the kid must be a street kid.
Really.
..
While on the bus... Erika sat down leaning back after taking the medicine from Akbar. A painkiller who doesn't know where Akbar got it.
Erika was still mingled with Nindi's words earlier that said if her parents who had not met her for a long time. Why can they say that.
Why are they so cruel. Erika came but they were driven away with heart, and told others otherwise.
It's impossible for Nindi to lie..
Uh. this is so sad.
Erika's eyes are back in glass now. Why is this sick, God. It was not enough with the illness he had. Why add to the trials of his parents?
Look, let alone asking for money for his medical expenses, to come and let go of the longing he's been kicked out.
Erika sighed painfully and closed her eyes, until the water droplets dripped on her pale face. But soon he removed it back.
What if he dies they'll be happy?
Didn't know they were scared now. So scared.
"Sister" called Ayu who was sitting next to him.
Erika turned to Ayu with her sad look.
"Brother cry?" ask Ayu.
Erika smiled and shook her head.
"No" answered Eric
"Don't cry, later if you cry ugly brother" said Ayu. Making Erika laugh but her eyes water again. He embraces Ayu's shoulder and rubs her head.
Fortunately, he had both of these children. At least someone is worried about him.
"Sister does not cry, brother is just tired" replied Erika.
Tired....
