Final Letter

Sts2 Brownies

The next day Arumi does the usual activities, preparing breakfast and delivering Aldi and Rafa to school.

"Rafa remembered what mom said earlier. You can be friends with Arka but you have to know the limits. You simply call Arka's father like a common call, 'Father,om, or Master' do not be impolite to change a special call just because it is allowed by Arka, not necessarily his father likes your call" Arumi again advises Rafa when he leaves for school.

"Yes Ma'am, Rafa understands" said Rafa obediently

A few minutes later Arumi arrived in front of Rafa's school gate, after kissing his mother's hand, Arumi again advised.

"Remember mom's message"

*

Yes Ma"

The atmosphere of school this morning is not as crowded as the first day, many parents who leave their children to school. When Rafa has entered the gate Arka calls him from outside, or does not want him to stop and greet Arka's father who will take his son into the classroom.

"Raf, you've come, who's it with?" tanya Arka slightly ran towards Rafa

"I'm in between mothers" Rafa said briefly

Before long the Son approached the two children with a bag belonging to Arka. Awkwardly, Rafa greets Arka's father.

"Good morning om" said Rafa who made the arch frown

"Why call om, will we agree that my father is your father too" Arka said remembering Rafa in case he forgot.

"Om your father's son, not my father. My mother said I can't hope for anyone but my Creator, I'll be disappointed" said Rafa wisely

"But my father doesn't mind raf, either,"

Rafa shook his head in a sign that he would no longer call Arka's father the same name.

"It's a pity there is no need to force" said Putra menimpali

The son felt guilty hearing Rafa's words, because honestly he did not like it very much when Rafa called him 'Dad'. The son realized that the two poor children had both lost loved ones in his life, and the son should have understood this situation from the beginning.

"Yasah Arka, I entered class first yes, because I was leading prayer today" Rafa said farewell

"Wait for class together"

"Aren't you going to be delivered by your father?"

Arka shook her head.

"Dad, get here. I'm going to class with Rafa."

"Well son, will you pick me up on time? There is an ayu mom who will wait for you outside the classroom, if there is anything to ask for help mbak ayu only"

"Good, dad"

***

The study was completed at exactly 12. Arka and Rafa are out of class at the same time. The son came early to pick up Arka.

"Arka, your father has come to pick you up" said Rafa who saw the arrival of the Son's car.

"Well, that's fast. Has your invitation come Raf?"

"Yet, my mother is coming soon. You go home first, I'll wait at the security guard post like yesterday"

"How about you come with me again, we play to my house" Arka asked but immediately got the headband from Rafa.

"No, I promised you I'd wait for her to come, if you couldn't pick up my neighbor who'd pick me up"

Seen the look of disappointed face Arka, just found a friend who made him comfortable to play with, but Rafa now seems to keep his distance from him.

Rafa realizes that, and immediately gives another suggestion, but his mother has allowed Arka to play to his house.

" What if you're the one who's playing at my house?" take Rafa to Arka.

Arka's gloomy face changed immediately, and she asked her father for permission, and with a heavy heart the son allowed Arka to play at Rafa's house.

After returning to send a message to the security guard that Rafa will be taken back to his house directly, they left the school yard to Rafa's house. In the car they are cool chatting, about the lessons and even the cartoon spectacle they are enjoying.

"Is your house still far away Rafa?" ask Arka

"A little while later, from this main road into the right alley. The alley is big enough to be able to enter two cars, so the son does not have to worry about his car being scratched because it collided with other cars" said Rafa explained the situation where he lived

The son only smiled, but not the slightest thought came to his mind to question the narrow road or a scuffed car.

A few minutes later they arrived at a simple house, the courtyard was quite spacious, there was no gate like in the house of Arka but the atmosphere was quite beautiful because many shady trees, very soothing. Rafa lets the two sit on a wooden bench in front of his house, while Rafa picks up the key in his bag. All family members have their own keys, because in an emergency they can enter the house without having to break down.

After Rafa managed to open the door, he 0un let the three of them in.

"Arka,om putra and mbak ayu please enter" said Rafa let the three enter the house.

They also entered into the simple house, a house that only has 3 rooms, 1 living and family room mixed, kitchen and dining room that is integrated not far from the kitchen there is 1 bathroom. Rafa came from the kitchen carrying a tray containing 3 glasses of mineral water and 1 plate of brownies made by the mother.

"Please have a drink, and this is a cake my mother made, so she happened to work in a cake shop. Mother-made cakes are very tasty, you must like" said Rafa promoting the mother's cake.

"really?" ask Arka

"Hmmm just try it"

The three also tasted a cake that Rafa said was delicious, and sure enough the three agreed with what Rafa said.

"Wah really delicious cake made by mother den Rafa" said mbak ayu praise

Rafa only smiled, while Arka and Putra who were both brownie lovers seemed to enjoy mouth after mouthful of brownies that smeared in the mouths of both. Rafa looks happy to see they like the cake made by the mother.

"Arka, you have to go back to your assistant's office and call, he said there was an important meeting this afternoon. Want to go home or what?" ask Rafa's son

"Am I allowed to be here well, later after father's work is done father can pick me up and Ma'am ayu" said Arka hope the father allows.

"Hmmh well then, why not trouble Rafa and his family?"

"Of course not, Rafa is alone at home. I usually go home at 3pm"

"Well if it's like that dad said yes, you take care of the children yes" said the son said goodbye while leaving the children on ayu.

"Good sir"

When the son is about to get out of Rafa's house suddenly Rafa stops his steps.

"Om wait a minute" said Rafa

Rafa immediately ran into the house, not long after he brought a box that had been wrapped in plastic.

"This is om, surely om has not had lunch" said Rafa while handing a plastic package to the son, the son was confused to accept or reject it.

"This is what raf?" ask the curious son

"That's my mom's brownies, it looks like I really like brownies"

"We really like brownies" Arka said

The son smiled too.

"Aren't you angry that the cake was given to you?" ask the son to make sure

Rafa shook his head with a smile.

"My mom won't be angry, she'll be happy if her homemade food runs out"

"Well if it's like that, brownies om bring ya, thank you"

Rafa nodded as well.

The son left the courtyard of Rafa's house. Soon the neighbor who was assigned to pick up Rafa came to make sure that Rafa had really gone home.
