35

Rio has arrived at the park, he rested for a while because the journey far enough to make his legs a little sore. After feeling not too tired anymore, Rio walked towards the crowded people, he started peddling his sales, Rio offered to everyone who was there.

Rio who was still in a crowded place did not hear that anyone was calling him.

“Rio!” call Kayla

Rio still had not turned his head because it was crowded there and he did not hear Kayla's voice.

“Rio... Rio”

After approaching Rio, only then did Rio realize that someone heard him.

“Eh Kayla”

“From yesterday I called you not to hear ya” said Kayla

“Sorry I didn't hear, let's go there here rame” take Rio

“Ayo”

They both stayed away from crowded places with children playing.

“Tumben you play here?” rio's asking made Kayla wonder

“Kan I usually play here if grandma does not prohibit” Kayla replied

“I some days did not see you playing here” said Rio

“Iya, I am one week more to Bandung join papah all holidays will have school holidays” Kayla explained that she did not play to the park because she joined papah and her grandmother “I brought souvenirs for you” Kayla gave him a pack of souvenirs she bought while in Bandung

“This what?” ask Rio

“You open later at home yes, now we sell I want to help you. Oh yes I wear this bracelet, I buy 2, you see later yes in here” said Kayla

“Ya already I open at home, nice bracelet”

Rio and Kayla went around the park to sell her wares. Sri who accompanied Kayla waited while watching Kayla. Mayang allowed Kayla to play outside if someone was watching her, of course Kayla asked Sri to accompany her, if Mayang who accompanied would not be possible Kayla was allowed to help Rio.

Starting late in the afternoon, Kayla tells Rio to go home for fear that her grandmother is waiting and looking for her. Rio also wanted to go home, he wanted to open the souvenirs given by Kayla.

After traveling, Rio had already reached his home. Rio rushed to take a shower and put down his bag as well as his merchandise.

“About what yes it contains, up to one full plastic” said Rio

Rio instantly opened, and the contents were some of the same clothes, snacks and bracelets as Kayla.

“That's a lot of clothes, one two three. There were three clothes, and there were snacks as well. This is the same bracelet as Kayla had earlier, I used it directly deh” Rio put his bracelet in his right hand

“Tomorrow I want to say thank you to Kayla, have bought souvenirs and clothes for me, it turns out Kayla still remembers even though she was vacation” said Rio

Rio was very happy, he would tell his father later when he came home. Rio did not have a new shirt, so he was very happy when he got a new shirt. Let alone to buy new clothes, to eat alone is enough Rio is very grateful especially to buy clothes.

Finished opening the souvenirs given by Kayla, Rio immediately cooked, although Surya had forbidden him to cook to wait for Surya but Rio still cooked so that his father was not too tired and had to cook when he came home from work. Rio did not want to see his father's face exhausted from having to cook so that Rio alone cooked, he also already knew how, he said.

“Assalamualaikum, Rio” said Surya who just arrived at his home

“Waalaikumsalam, dad is home?”

“Daddy shower duli, after that we eat”

“You've cooked?”

“Yah” already

“And dad said, you don't have to cook just let dad. You must be tired of going home from school and having to cook.”

“Rio is not tired, I am calm. Tell you what, if Rio went home first Rio who cooked, but if the father who came home first became the father who cooked” said Rio

“But the more often go home first you, father does not want you tired to interfere with your learning concentration, will soon be the exam and after that the graduation exam, will be, dad doesn't want you to be out of focus”

“Dad not to worry even though Rio has to sell and cook, Rio will be able to study at night, Rio can also study at school during rest or before leaving school”, Rio assured his father

“Yang there later you are too tired and your body can not balance everything, later you even hurt again” said Surya worried

“God willing Rio strong well, father don't worry. If the like Rio is tired Rio will rest and will not sell first, Rio promised” said Rio raised his hand

“Ya already if it wants you but, you have to really rest yes if you are tired and will not sell anymore let alone have to cook”

“Iya Rio promise, so father don't worry”

“Then dad takes a shower first, you wait for ya after that we eat together”

Surya went to his room to pick up a towel, and immediately took a bath as Rio was already waiting for him to eat. Surya rarely eats lunch, if he is very hungry then will buy rice or can be fished with fried food, sometimes there are also those who give fried food or bread from traders whose sales have not run out.

As for Rio, he bought bread if his stomach was already hungry. Not infrequently many people who pity let alone traders in the park, they often give Rio food because they do not have the heart to see a child as small as Rio had to work. Some traders know why Rio works, while others do not know why Rio works.

“Once waiting?” ask Surya

“No well, Rio earlier while reading so it does not feel” Rio replied

“Come we eat”

Surya and Rio ate voraciously, even though it was just eggs and rice they still enjoyed. Sometimes Surya buys fish in the market, and immediately fried to eat because they do not have a refrigerator to store the fish to keep it fresh.

After finishing eating Rio told her that Kayla gave her souvenirs.

“So I was given a gift by Kayla yah” said Rio

“By-by?” ask Surya

“Iya, Kayla and her family vacation to Bandung so Kayla love me souvenirs. There's a shirt on this snack” Fio did not tell that Kayla gave him the same bracelet as himself

“Means you have to say Thank you, Kayla already thanks you so much”

“Iya well, tomorrow Rio want to say Thank you for giving me so much souvenirs

“Ya you are ready to go to the mosque, let father who set everything up”

“Iya yah”

 

In Bandung a woman who was contemplating in her room, she was worried about how. After Rendra returned to Jakarta, he felt that something was missing, although Rendra often contacted him but all he did was for Kayla. Bela was not taboo since when he put his heart on Rendra, but the feeling suddenly appeared even though Bela never asked for it.
