EPS 52 BLESSINGS MOM
The dark of the night left a trace of doubt. Feeling empty when lonely is so felt. No one can show you where to go. Moreover, it was so dense as to cover the view. A heart full of uncertainty. And I'm so fragile, without you by my side guiding my way.
Melin could not hold back her tears. His heart was suddenly so sad to see Marlon and Erizal so excited to tell him about their plans and ideals. The two young men were instantly stunned as tears flowed down the pretty girl's cheeks. Both of them feel guilty and feel sorry for Melin's sadness. Then Erizal said softly.
“Do not meditate Melin, I a...”
“True Melin, you don't have to be so sad. I'll help you.”
Not done yet he spoke suddenly Marlon had already cut him off. He saw his best friend shifting his seat closer to Melin.
“I'll sell some of my gold. Then the money will be used to finance my school and your school,” continued Marlon again.
Erizal looked at his best friend's palah with a flat face. For some reason, he suddenly disliked the ways Marlon approached Melin. Could it be that there was jealousy in his heart?
“No Marlon,” said Melin while shaking her head. “That gold is your father's stock for your education until you become a doctor. I don't want you to fail to reach your papa's ideals and hopes because of me.”
“Do not worry. These gold grains are worth more than enough if only to finance my college to become a doctor. Besides, I will also work to make money with Erizal, you and the others,” replied Marlon straightforwardly, as if to convince Melin that everything will be fine.
Then he turned his eyes to Erizal.
“You also agree Zal, if I help Melin?” school fees
Erizal stuttered at Marlon's question.
“Oh, uh..hmm of course it would be nice if we could continue school together,” Erizal said later.
Melin stared at Erizal's face for a moment. His heart was still filled with doubt. No matter how much he owes anyone, even if it's his best friend.
“We've been living with Melin. Our friendship is so close. How could Marlon and I not let you continue school, while Marlon and I did?” erizal said later.
“Tuh, listen to Erizal's words. We are friends. I want to help you as sincerely as my heart. Throw doubt in your heart Melin,” Marlon said.
Melin nodded her head. His right hand held Erizal's, while his left hand held Marlon's.
“Alright, if you force me. But remember, I won't take your help for granted. Consider this a debt. And I will return it someday.”
“But.” Marlon almost denied Melin's words, but the girl shook her head.
“It is a mandatory requirement of Marlon. If you disagree, I will not accept your help either,” he said firmly.
Heehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..Marlon let out a long sigh while smiling. After all he had to accept the terms that the girl he secretly liked had put forward.
“Alright, if that's what you want chairman,” said Marlon finally.
Erizal laughed at Marlon's words, while Melin just stuck out her tongue.
“Then we sleep now. Tomorrow we go to Lapas to see Mom. However we must ask for his permission and blessing, so that our plan can be carried out properly,” Melin said as she released her handrails.
The beautiful girl stood up, releasing her final smile, before walking inside her room. While his two best friends were still standing stunned, feeling the subtle sighs that were still left from Melin's hand grip earlier. Their eyes were fixed on the door of the room that had been tightly shut locked from the inside. And the sound of dogs barking in the distance made them realize that it was too late for them to stay awake.

The middle-aged woman hugged Melin's body, and immersed him into her lush body. There was a sense of motherhood emanating from his face.
“No Melin. Did you guys forget, just visited mom seven days ago.”
“We did not forget. Usually we visit the mother at most five days,” said Marlon.
Yu Kimah smiled.
“It's okay. Now tell mom what happened to our house.”
Melin then told about the tension that occurred among Misman's kang men after Yu Kimah died in prison. They questioned Marlon's position as vice-chairman of the Misman gang. Among them there are those who test the speed of Marlon to be a top of the Misman gang. Through one-on-one combat, Marlon managed to prove his strength.
“After the event, they all pledged each other to maintain unity as a large family of the Misman gang,” Erizal said.
Yu Kimah smiled again. He already understood the disposition of each of his men. They are hard-witted, but knights. Not looking at revenge even though it was defeated in a fair fight.
“Melin-france. You are their leader now. Being fair and nurturing is your duty to keep them united. Because the danger always comes from outside groups who want to control the territory that has been conquered kang Misman.”
Melin nodded her head. He knows his job and understands his responsibility. Although heavy but he wants to learn about the world of thugs little by little. After that he showed the financial books of the organization and the food stalls that Yu Kimah entrusted to him. The woman's face looked amazed and astonished to see the nominal numbers listed in the book.
“Ten million? This month you managed to record a net profit of ten million Melin,” said Yu Kimah with a look of disbelief.
“Why mom?” ask Melin worriedly. “What I did wrong.”
“What? A goof? You've even done something extraordinary. Never before have our stalls had this much advantage,” suhut yu Kimah with a vibrating voice.
Melin and her two best friends looked at each other. Their hearts were relieved, they were afraid that Yu Kimah would scold them.
“You guys are amazing. You can only say thank you.”
“You are the one who thanked mom and dad. Because it has allowed us to stay and settle in the mother's house,” said Marlon.
Kimah hugged her three adopted children. Then they sat down and joked. Drowning in a long conversation. Melin also tells about a new resident named Karsim. Yu Kimah laughed back and forth to hear the story of Karsim, a child who if ordered forget. Then Erizal also told about their plan to continue school.
“But that will only be done if we have permission and blessing from mother,” said Melin.
Beyond a doubt, it turns out that Yu Kimah strongly approved their plan to continue school according to their purpose of coming to Jogjakarta. He even allowed Melin to use the food stall's money to fund her school.
“Just use the stall money for your school fees Melin. Invite also the Karsim to continue his school to SMP.”
