Help out! I Want Skinny

Part 24's. Car For Marisa

Early in the morning when the chickens were still asleep in the cage, the busyness in the Marisa residence had begun. Although there is now a Yuni Ma'am who helps at home, Marisa still takes the time to take care of the house and children before leaving for work.

Together with Mbak Yuni, he shared the task with each other. This morning Marisa cooked her family's favorite rice breakfast, also preparing children's school supplies.

That morning the children asked their father when he sat at the table. "Papito is now rare at home, Mi?" ask Arjun sadly.

Marisa, who was loading the lunch box into Caca's school bag, stopped her activities and looked at her three children who were waiting for an answer. "Papito's busy at work, honey. It will surely come home and gather with us again" replied Marisa trying to give a good answer even though in her own heart there is doubt about her own words.

"Papito doesn't love us anymore!" Bianca frowning.

"Papito never invited Caca to play again. My mom is always busy too. Rarely at home" Caca said.

"Then Mamita's job is done, we go play together to the pool?" marisa's promise.

"Really, Mi?" ask Arjun.

"really. Udah, now a piece of food to go to school," replied Marisa.

The three children eagerly spent their breakfast hearing his mother's promise.

"Mom, there's a guest outside" Ms. Yuni came to tell Marisa.

"This shack? Who?" marisa asked astonished as she headed towards the living room. Samuel is coming.

"Good morning, Ca," said Samuel.

"Wao! Your surprise came early in the morning," replied Marisa.

"How's your leg? It seems to be healthy," said Samuel pay attention to the way Marisa's running smoothly.

"Oh! Yes, Sam," replied Marisa.

"Goodlah. I'll drop by the office with you."

"But I have to take the kids to school first, Sam."

Samuel scrunched his forehead? "Where are they going?"

"Not at home" replied Marisa trying to suppress the sadness so as not to pop to the surface.

"Then let's take them, Ca."

"OKAY. Then wait a minute, will you? They're still breakfast. Have you had breakfast? If you haven't joined us yet, Sam," take Marisa

"I had breakfast, Ca. You go on."

"I live first, yes" said Marisa.

The three children of Marisa were excited to be escorted to school by Samuel's big and nice car.

"Om Sammy, will we go back to school to be picked up too?" ask Angga.

"Female. Don't be! Later go home Yuni who picked up. Om Sammy a lot of work," said Marisa.

Samuel watched Angga's pouting face as Marisa rebuked. "Kok sad, Angga?" ask Samuel.

"That's okay, Om," Angga replied.

"Later I'll have the driver pick up the car at home for you to use, Ca. Incidentally, one of my cars is rarely used, so you can use it to pick up school children and transport you to the office" said Samuel.

"Oh, I don't feel good, Sam."

"Not to worry. It's for the sake of time efficiency to also support your work in the office" Samuel replies. Upon seeing the events of that morning, Samuel immediately understood the difficulties Marisa was facing.

"Thank you very much, Sam. You always understand my situation the most," said Marisa moved.

All day long Marisa worked very hard. He felt deeply indebted to Samuel and wanted to show that he could really work.

"I'm sorry, Ca, you've been home a long time now" said Samuel glanced at his watch, which showed at 21:15 as they were about to leave the office. "You worked really well today. You don't have to go to the office tomorrow. I'll let you take a day off so you can rest. If you get tired and get sick, pity your children no one will take care of you later, and this is the key to your car" Samuel continued, handing over the car keys to Marisa.

"It's not enough to express my feelings for your kindness."

"Eleh .. lebay deh, Ca. By the way you want me to stay home? Dare to go home alone?"

"No need, Sam. I can do it myself. It's not the first time I'm coming home tonight. So the mothers must be ironed," quipped Marisa. "Our house is different. Pity you for coming home late. You also need to rest."

"alright. Be careful on the road" Samuel's message.

***

The holiday given Samuel used Marisa to take her children to go swimming as she had promised. Yuni was also with them.

"Om, Sammy is so good, Mi. Let's borrow us a car to use. Mamita does not bother going anywhere anymore. Want to shop or take us for a walk is also easy," said Bianca.

"Yes, honey," replied Marisa.

"But, Mi. Papito rarely comes home? Bianca kangen ...," said Bianca sobbing.

"Caca also misses Papito," said Caca.

"Figures too" said Angga who suddenly joined the chat show Marisa and Bianca.

Hearing that, Marisa's heart was shattered into pieces. He had tried to contact Arjun to go home to see the children for only a short time, but his request was never published.

Arjun has changed a lot. Not as he used to know. He was loving, especially his three children. Always play with the kids. Every time he came home from work there was always a snack he brought home. Most worried when seeing his son sick and lazy to eat.

Now even asking them news is not. Arjun forgot about his family. Marisa doesn't know when she'll hide the problems between herself and Arjun from the children. It is true, children who do not know anything are always victims in parental divorce.

'Where should I look for Arjun, ' Marisa couldn't bear to see her children continue to suffer.

"Let's go to Grandpa's and Opung's house? We'll wait for Papito there" Marisa told her three children.

Her three children welcomed Marisa's proposal. Marisa sends a message to Arjun.

[Kids want to see you. I'll take them to your parents' house in an hour. If you don't come to see the kids, just look at what happens. I'll unload your rot in front of your parents.]

[I can't today. Tomorrow, Marisa, I'll go home] Arjun said.

[I want it today. It's up to you that it's none of your business, but don't blame me if something happens to your parents]

This time the anger reached the top. It's his patience. He doesn't want any more bargaining. For too long he held everything alone.
