Last Ramadan for Nayla
Staying With Mother
Sinta met Mr. Arman in his office, at the time her husband was in a meeting with investors, so she was forced to wait in her husband's study for over an hour.
"I'm sorry for making you wait long enough." Mr. Arman said as soon as he entered and saw Sinta still there.
"There's something very important that I need to discuss with you."
"About what?" asked the man in his indifference.
"I want to take Nayla to live with me." Sinta.
Mr. Arman was silent for a moment, the man seemed to be thinking about something.
"Bring it up!" answer later. Sinta was surprised to hear her husband's answer, she did not expect that Mr. Arman so easily let Nayla stay with her.
"Why? Are you surprised to hear my answer earlier, I don't care about that child Sinta, if you really want to just take it! But remember, if anything happens, you can never involve me!" concluded Mr. Arman ended his speech.
"Well, if you agree, then I'll go home first." Without waiting for an answer from her husband Sinta directly out, she did not arrive at the door again to hear her husband's hate speech against Nayla.
"And remember! If anyone asks who he is, don't ever say he's my son, because I don't want people to know that I have a disabled child like him!"
After hearing her husband's cruel words, Sinta immediately came out without saying anything more.
\*\*\*\*
Sinta did not go straight home, she picked Rio up at the place of Lastri's mom. Every time he went out alone, he always left Rio the same bu Lastri, his kind neighbor.
"Rio has slept Sin, let him sleep here last night, yes, you just brought home tomorrow," said Miss Lastri.
"Well, how will he cry at night? Kan mother is also a bother," said Sinta not feeling good to let Rio sleep in the middle-aged woman's house, not afraid to make him hassles take care of Rio, Rio,although at home Miss Lastri is not alone because there is still a daughter who accompanies.
"It's okay, there's also Ayu who is worried," he replied trying to convince Sinta.
"Well, if you want that." Finally, Sinta also obeyed the will of women who had been considered like her own mother. "Mom, this is for ayu and mom!" Sinta gave the paper bag that she had been holding.
"Is this Sin?" ask Miss Lastri while taking the paper bag that Sinta handed over.
"You've always taken care of yourself." Say lastri's mom again, overwhelmed with Sinta's kindness.
"Nerepotin kok bu, the mother had Sinta considered like Sinta's own parents, and the mother was also always there for Sinta. Mother is also the one who took care of Rio since he was a baby until now," said Sinta.
"Thank you again, Sin." Said Lastri's mom while hugging Sinta full day.
\*\*\*\*
The distance between the lastri and Sinta bu houses is not far, only one house, it only takes five minutes to arrive. So he could walk there and now the woman was back at his house.
"Nayla hasn't slept yet, have you waited for her?" ask Sinta when she sees Nayla still sitting in the living room while watching TV shows.
"Yes, you go home alone? Where's rio?" Nayla was astonished to see Sinta who came home alone without any Rio.
"Owh, Rio tonight is sleeping in the house of Lastri's mother," Sinta replied.
"Sister David and sister Tina have been picked up by mom earlier." Nayla said as she lowered her head.
"Did mom scold you?" Sinta looks worried.
"Then why do you look so sad?" Sinta looks confused.
"I feel bad for you, I don't think it's appropriate for Nayla to stay here." Honest answer.
"Mother just wants you to go to school, learn diligently so that you can be a successful child later so you can prove to mom and dad that you can also be a great person, too,even with an imperfect physique." Sinta's words gave Nayla some spirit.
"Can Nayla do it mommy?" he looked doubtful.
"You can do it, tomorrow you'll enroll you in school, won't you?" Sinta asked once more, hoping that Nayla would not refuse him.
"Well if anyone knows how Nayla's mama's son?"
"No one will know, in this case the mother will not carry the names of your parents, from now on you mother's child, understand!" firmly Sinta.
Nayla just nodded her head and then hugged Sinta, she really missed a warm embrace of a mother, just try that now in front of her is her own mother, she must be very happy.
"From now on you won't leave you, no matter what." Said Sinta promised, he did love Nayla very much since the first time he met the child, especially Sinta also saw for himself how the unfair treatment of both parents Nayla.
\*\*\*\*\*
Perhaps this was the beginning of happiness for Nayla, she was far from her parents now, old people who had never been kind to her, she said,now God has given her a noble hearted woman who will always be there in her time of need, something Nayla never once thought of.
THE ALIF HOUSE
"Where are you two, Jayla?" tanya Umi Fitri, she misses Nayla very much because it has been two weeks since Nayla did not come to her house.
"Nayla has been living with Sinta's mother,umi." Answer Tina.
"If you really want to meet with Nayla, we can give your mother's home address." David also offered.
"Why does Nayla live there?" the woman clenched her forehead.
"Papa says that you want to send Nayla to school, and according to Tina it's good if Nayla stays there, let her not be beaten as papa every time you get angry."
Umi began to look at Tina and David in turn, whatever he was thinking.
"Did your mama ever hit Nayla?" ask bu Fitri curious.
"Know we don't, if mama just often scold him," replied David as it is.
"Later in the afternoon we go there, you want to not nemanin umi?" asked Bu Fitri, who was answered with a nod of his head excitedly by them.
"Oh yes, have you had lunch yet?"
"Not yet." They answered compactly.
"Nobody cooked Umi, because mom hasn't come home from her office" Tina said.
"Then you eat there!" tell Ms. Fitri, without being told twice Tina and David just got up from the sofa and went to the dining table because actually their stomachs were rumbling from earlier back home from school.
Bu Fitri increasingly feel sorry for the fate of Nayla, both her brothers are very dear to both parents while Nayla does not get affection at all.
