Last Mate

211. Lunch

Aleena took the aunt to the mother's father's orphanage. A place where Aleena said she felt comfortable being there. Orange nodded only, he also wanted to calm down for a moment. Her husband's words kept ringing in his head.

They arrived at the orphanage. They came down and were warmly welcomed by the mother of the parlour.

"Why didn't you come here first?" ask the mother of the home. He had nothing to offer Aleena.

"So you guys stop by, Mom," Aleena said so politely.

Orange smiled at his nephew who had a great attitude towards the older man.

"But Aleena!"

Orange was a little surprised when many of the orphanage children called Aleena and without feeling awkward Aleena approached them all. Orange saw the mother of the parlour curling her smile and her gaze was fixed on Aleena as well as the children of the parlour who pulled Aleena's hand.

"Aleena's liked by all the orphanage kids here." Orange smiled hearing what the mother said. He saw it with his own eyes.

"When Rangga decided to work, the children lost a brother who guided them."

"I salute Rangga," timpal Orange.

The mother of the home allowed Jingga to sit on the sofa that was a little shabby.

"Rangga is a very responsible child. Don't get tired and love family." The eyes of the house mother glazed when telling Rangga. A very wonderful boy. Poor rich kid. The boy was dumped when both his parents died in a plane crash. His family even took Rangga's legacy and he was entrusted in this orphanage.

"What time does he come home every day?" Orange is staring at the mother. He was very happy to hear the story about Rangga.

"School comes home at twelve. At one hour he left for work and reached the Maghrib home again."

"Is he not tired?" ask Orange. The mother of the parlor just smiled.

"I also had time to ask like that to Rangga," said the mother of the home. "Miss knows what the answer is?" Orange pin shook .

"I'm not a robot, but I have to work like a robot to make me a great person."

The mother of the home imitated Rangga's words. And the heart of Orange was filled to hear it. The child after Aleena could already say that. He really didn't expect.

"The ladder is mature because of the circumstances," said the mother of the orphanage.

"Assalamot."

Orang and the mother of the orphanage turned her head and it turned out that Rangga had just returned to school. He greeted the polite orange. Don't forget he kissed the hand of the mother of the parlour so politely. Also Orange hands and able to make the orange curl a smile.

"We better have lunch first, yuk," asked Jingga. "Surely Rangga is hungry."

"Sorry Non, mom-"

"Mother just relax. I've brought a fast-food chicken from mekdi," cut the orange. "May the children on like."

The orange face seemed radiant when it said so. Seeing Rangga was like seeing himself as a teenager. He was very proud of the figure of a child like Rangga.

"Please tell the driver, get down the food in the trunk of the car." Orange told Rangga and the boy nodded obediently.

"What an amazing child" praised Orange. Again the mother of the parlor just smiled. He felt grateful to be able to get to know the family from Wiguna. Although rich people, but happy to share with others.

Shortly afterward, Rangga and the driver brought several bags of groceries that were quite large and quite a lot. It looks like plastic from fast food brands. Accidentally Orange and Aleena bought a cottage that was also the size of a small bucket for dinner side dishes later.

"Oh my goodness, Non. A lot of it," said the mother of the orphanage.

"It's not me who bought it, ma'am. Except for Aleena."

Hearing Aleena's name Rangga's body stiffened quite violently. Why did he forget the boy? Clearly in front of him was now his aunt Aleena.

"Ngga, take it to the backyard. We eat under the shade tree."

Rangga was still silent not responding to the speech of the mother of the home. Until the reluctance of the driver resuscitated him. He looked towards the driver.

"Where's the shady tree?" ask the driver.

Rangga also took the driver to the backyard of the orphanage where there are shady trees there. The mother took the mat and called the other children who were playing with Aleena.

Orange smiled happily when she saw the children running happily. Moreover, see the chicken food crispy with the initial letter M large. They look very enthusiastic.

"Sister Rangga has come home?" Rangga smiled and gently rubbed the hair of a girl named Keke.

"Yes, Ke," replied Rangga so gently.

Now it was Aleena's turn to speak a thousand languages. Can only pay attention to Rangga with an indecipherable look in the eye.

"Sister change clothes first, yeah." Keke nodded too. Rangga just passed by Aleena and there was guilt lodged in her heart at this moment.

Jingga rebuked her nephew who had just stood up. Called many times, but never responded by Aleena.

"Sister Na!"

Orange shouted a little and Aleena finally turned her head. He smiled at the aunt.

"What the hell was that?" asked Orange when Aleena was already sitting next to him. The boy just shook his head.

While in the orphanage, Rangga had approached the mother of the orphanage. The two took a deep breath first before speaking.

"We ate together first, Ngga," invited the mother of the home who had brought bananas in the kitchen.

"Sorry, Mom. I have to get to work early." Rangga said with great regret. The face of the mother looked sad.

"Well, can't you have lunch here? Not good for Non-orange and Neng Aleena."

Highlight the eyes of the expectant mother of the parlour, but Rangga shook his head quickly. All decisions that Rangga has taken cannot be contested. Just a rough gust of breath coming out of the mouth of the mother parlour.

"Yes, I asked for your rations, yes" said the mother of the home. "You can eat there." Rangga just nodded.

She passed away her mother and went to her room. After opening the uniform, he sat on the edge of the bed. Her lips lifted, but the look on her face looked grim.

There was a sentence thrown from someone that made him feel unworthy of being close to Aleena. Let alone being close, just making friends is inappropriate.

"I have to be a successful person and be able to lift the degree of a mother's home. Too often I'm ostracized and taken for granted just because I live here" he murmured.

Motivating yourself is what you do. The mother came with a box of fast food for Rangga.

"Neither angkot, No. Don't walk, you'll be tired."

"Yes, Mom."

Elsewhere Aleena seemed to have no appetite for lunch today. He was still thinking about Rangga's indifferent attitude towards him. Time and again Orange reprimanded, but Aleena remained unconcerned.

The mother of the parlour had already joined the song and Keke asked Rangga whereabouts.

"Sister Rangga has gone to work" replied the mother of the home.

Aleena immediately moved from her seat and reasoned to want to go to the bathroom. However, he wanted to speak to Rangga.

Aleena ran to the front yard of the home and saw Rangga had already closed the gate of the home.

"The ladder!"

The owner of the name also looked. He stopped his steps when he saw Aleena running. Now, they're facing each other.

"The stairs, I didn't mean to"

"It is true what your friend said. I'm different caste with you guys. I don't deserve to be friends with you guys" Rangga said. Aleena fell silent in silence hearing what Rangga said.

"Sorry, I have to go to work. I'm not the son of a rich man whose job is lurchy."

Jem! Stabbed a speech from Rangga.

"I'm sorry."
