Is this my Line of Destiny?

(IGT) CHAPTER 03

Early in the morning Alexa had prepared to go to Septi's house, as usual she took the papers there. Then, sell it to residents' houses and some shops.

"One more time Ma'am, Aaaa!" Alexa gave her mother a last bite.

"Pinter" said Alexa when the last mouthful entered Bu Rianti's mouth.

"Already, already, the mother is full," said Bu Rianti after swallowing her chew.

"Indeed, Mom, if every day you eat like this, I'm sure you'll get well soon!" Alexa encourages Bu Rianti.

Indeed, this time Alexa took a spoonful of rice more than the usual portion, initially he suspected that the portion this time will not be exhausted by his mother.

However, in fact Bu Rianti had spent that portion even with great difficulty.

After giving his mother water, Alexa cleaned dirty dishes and glasses, then washed them.

Now Alexa just wait for the arrival of Mbok Mirah who went to the market to sell firewood to be exchanged for basic goods.

Yes, even though it is old, Mbok Mirah is still working hard. He was looking for firewood in a field owned by a neighbor who did not mind. Mbok Mirah intends to help Alexa to make a living.

Although the results are only a little, but enough to eat the three of them of course with the addition of Alexa income.

"I go first Mbok, titip Mommy." said Alexa before leaving. At that time Mbok Mirah was lowering the load he carried, in the form of two kilos of rice, one liter of cooking oil and several side dishes for storage for three days.

Alexa wants to say goodbye to her mother. However, because Bu Rianti has fallen asleep, Alexa finally undoes her intentions, because she does not want to disturb her mother who is asleep.

"Calm down, I will definitely take good care of your mother" replied Mbok Mirah as she poured water on a plastic cup and sipped it.

"Assalamu'alaikum." Alexa said her regards before stepping over the door.

"Waalaikum greetings," replied Mbok Mirah from the inside of the house.

A few minutes later, Alexa arrives at Septi's house, her closest friend, though Septi is older than her. Septi people are kind and friendly, is always helping Alexa in times of distress until finally Alexa works as a newspaper seller. And Septi as his agent.

"I setor this way first huh mbak." Alexa thrusts three pieces of money five thousands and five pieces of money two thousands.it is the result for three days.

Septi grabbed the money with a smile, then he said softly.

"It's okay, even if a little we should still be grateful."

"Yes Ma'am, we must remain grateful under any circumstances" said Alexa.

"Yes, right, this is the newspaper, but sell it not far away, yes" said Septi after giving a stack of newspapers to Alexa.

"Yes Ma'am, then I say goodbye first" said Alexa.

"Yes, Careful!" sahut Septi's.

After returning from Septi's house, Alexa immediately peddled her newspaper. He entered the hallway to sell his newspaper.

Alexa does it with pleasure, although sometimes she feels uncomfortable with the conversation of girls her age.

"Look, that Alexa, she's not shy about going in and out of the house every day!" rini exclaimed to her friends, one of the girls who came from a distinguished family.

His daily job is just gossiping and gossiping about Alexa.

"Destroy the view!" exclaim Gina added.

"Yo'i become the trash of society!" exclamation Via also said.

The three girls seemed to never get tired of gossiping about Alexa, like the famous artist Alexa became a warm conversation among them.

Alexa, who happened to pass in front of them, immediately heard clearly their conversation about her.

While Alexa was peddling her newspaper, suddenly a voice called out to her from a distance. When Alexa appeared Septi was running towards her.

" Huh.. huh... huh…." Breath Septi ngos.

"What's wrong, Mommy?" alexa asked when Septi was next to her.

Septi regulates the breath, slowly starting to improve.

"That, Bude Rianti, hah... hah.," said Septi his breath is still a little hunting.

"Why Mom, Mommy?" alexa looks worried.

"Let's go home, Bude.Bude is dying!" Septi tried to tell Alexa.

And sure enough, hearing Septi's last words, Alexa immediately ran by holding her newspapers towards her home.

"Lex, wait… !" exciting Septi.

However, Alexa has a long way to run ahead there. Septi also chased after him with the rest of his energy and his breathing was a little dull.

As far as Alexa runs, as many pairs of eyes look at her, Alexa does not care. His only goal was to get to his house.

BRAAAK.

The newspapers in Alexa's hands fell scattered just like that, when Alexa arrived in front of her house which had been filled with neighbors who had arrived.

With a step gontai Alexa enters

His house, the sound of Mbok Mirah crying.

Alexa's entire body feels weak, the joints feel stiff when he sees the figure of a thin body stretched out helplessly surrounded by his neighbors.

Alexa's body collapsed beside her mother's corpse, she could not help but hold back tears that suddenly flowed, bursting out from within her eyelids.

"Hiks.. hiks... hiks... Mother…!" alexa's crying voice broke beside her mother's corpse.

Alexa hugged Bu Rianti's body which had been stretched helplessly, just a cloth covering it.

"Mother, why leave Lexa," said Alexa still hugged her mother's lifeless body.

"I'm sorry Lexa, I shouldn't have left, I should have taken care of Mom." Alexa blamed herself.

"Here you go, Lexa, this may be God's best path for your mother" Mbok Mirah said after his cries subsided. Mbok Mirah's hand stroked Alexa's shoulder, trying to strengthen each other.

"Yes, Lexa, you better pray, may Bu Rianti be quiet in nature" persuaded one of the neighbors sitting next to him.

"Isn't Mom okay, when I left?" Alexa remembered before she left her mother was fast asleep.

"Yes, you were right Lexa, at that time your mother was asleep, but when Mbok stayed for a while. Your mother suddenly shouted and when Mbok had returned your mother was dying," said Mbok Mirah honestly.

Bu Rianti was dying when Mbok Mirah returned from his backyard. Surprised, Mbok Mirah immediately went to Septi's house, because he suspected Alexa was there.

Therefore, Septi was willing to follow Alexa and told Mbok Mirah to return to his home immediately.

And, when Mbok Mirah returned, the condition of Bu Rianti was lifeless.

Alexa cried with regret in her heart. He regretted not being able to accompany his mother even in her last moments.

"Why did you leave so soon, why didn't you wait for Alexa first" Alexa quipped in a soft voice.
