" Good night Sunday, baby." Say hello to Endro while raising his head slightly to the dining room.
" Of Endro...?" Nummi looks so enthusiastic when she hears and looks at the middle-aged man's face behind the door.
Nummi Rushed up from her seat and hugged Endro so strongly.
"Om outrageous... Go, don't say so with Nummi." Seraaya released her embrace.
" Yes sorry... Om really-really in a hurry, honey. After the dawn prayer, Om went straight away. They've even been waiting for Om outside." Endro defended himself from the spoiled rampage of the girl.
"They're who?"
"Maha student from the Faculty of Agriculture. They need Om's help with their college assignment." Endro explained the truth.
"Why didn't Om ask, Nummi?" Sungs back. He seemed interested in what he had just heard from Endro.
"They called Om so suddenly, at dawn. Their promise was at nine. If according to plan, Om will invite you first after from the factory. But in fact, the work in the factory was handled by Mr. Mazni." Endro seemed to feel guilty.
"Hmmm, that... Yes already... This time Nummi forgive, Om. Next time won't." His words are still disappointed.
"Hehe... Yes, dear." Endro's Grin.
"Now Om is taking a shower... Nummi will wait here for Om."
"If you're hungry, eat first."
"No... Nummi will wait for Om." Ketus's Eagles.
"Yes, yeah... Om will hurry. Fortunately, I prayed Isya. Yes Already... Go to the room first." Pamit Endro and then followed by a nod of Nummi's head.
Mr. Aaron and Bi Hana also grinned at Nummi who behaved like Endro's biological daughter. He was so happy to see the face of Endro who did not seem to be moping like usual.
Perhaps, deserted one that made him seem so tired. And only the girl was able to drive away her loneliness.
*****
When their dinner was over, Nummi and Endro spent their time in the house's lounge.
They were still silent for a moment. There was a difficult silence to overcome in the awkward atmosphere between them.
Endro was still crowded, he was afraid if he was afraid to tell the truth to the new girl growing up. As for Nummi, she wanted to hear back the continuation of the middle-aged man's story.
He was getting curious about new things he had never known before. Maybe anyone from his family. Even his Father and Mother.
"What a boring day to you, baby." Endro finally started the conversation and broke the silence created earlier between the two of them.
"Not really, um." Mr. Harun invites Nummi to garden around the yard of the house. Hmmm fun... " His heart looks really happy for that.
"Good..."
"Eit... Not that it has to be every day, Om." Cut the girl quickly. "Even the story is not finished. Nummi's holiday is only a week away when." Nummi mumbled herself.
Endro grinned at hearing it. She ruffles Nummi's hairdo that looks adorable to her. Coupled with a frown on the girl's face made her even more crazy to pinch her cheeks.
"Oooommm...!" Nummi is starting to feel uncomfortable.
"Come, Om... Story again..." Pinta Nummi started whining.
"Where did it get to yesterday?" Tanya Endro looks resigned.
"Until Om's farewell to Aunt Mentari in the backstreet of the school." Nummi is so fast. He memorized every detail of Endro's story.
"Hm... Aye." Yeah." Endro muttered as if recalling the thing he had forgotten.
"Om remembering?"
"Remember, Honey..."
"If so go now, om. Nummi's been seeing Aunt Mentari." His ink is getting whining.
"Yes... Om continue now." Endro granted the girl's request. He sighed, and set the air that entered his body before continuing to tell him back about his life."Om used to go to college, just not to be a scholar. Stopped in the sixth semester."
"Sixth semester, Om?" Nummi was shocked to hear Endro's confession.
Endro nodded. He showed a slight smile that felt heavy on his lips.
"It's a pity that..." Nummi doesn't believe it.
"Yes. Too bad. But if Om chooses to continue college, then Om reneges on Om's promise to Mentari." His words were so bitter. His face looked sad at the time.
"So Om went to college, not once did Om hear from him. But when Om was told, Om was so beaten.
Om went straight home to find out how he was. Om can imagine how sick and scared he was at that time.
His life is just suffering. She grew up to be an orphan girl full of wounds. Circumstances make him shackled and can not get out of his pain, unless with Om.
They are not real Mentari parents, but they act as greedy parents who expect a panic when their daughter is edited by a young man.
Not only his foster parents. His foster brother also made things difficult for him. He's trying to derail our marriage, so he's the one Om's gonna marry."
Endro seemed emotional when he recalled the story in his past. The pain again moved his heart. It feels so sore. He tried to lean back so that his tears would not spill. He did not want the girl beside him to know the pain, so that the girl would no longer feel guilty.
He was also determined to tell her everything except his feelings for Desri. The woman who once made her heart feel strange, and she was also the mother of the girl.
He did not want to be mistaken for a traitor and was too naive for that.
Endro's mind floated back as he rushed home to Mentari.
