LET ME CHOOSE MY OWN PATH
chapter 7
Since the incident at the house of the mother-in-law who made the mental Rigid became a little disturbed. He played alone in his room more often and not as happy as before.
This morning deliberately I woke up early because it's Sunday I intend to bring Tegar to go around the city, maybe he was tired of playing at home.
"Good Morning, Mother! Whisper in his ear to wake up.
"Mother! This is Sunday Rigid want to bob again, today is the Mother's school holiday," he said.
"We go for a walk!" Take me.
"Where will our Mother go?" Ask my son while he gets out of his sleep.
It was very exciting for him to hear us going for a walk today, I put a smile on the corner of my lips to see him so hostile.
Not so long Tegar had finished bathing and also breakfast. I saw he was ready to go for a walk.
I drove the car at a speed while defending a highway that is not so crowded because it is a holiday.
In a crowded journey makes our journey more comfortable because there is no traffic jam, all the way Tegar so happy while singing small makes me smile little see his behavior.
"Where are we going, ma'am?" Tanya Firmly while looking at the direction of the highway.
"Where's it going?" Ake turned to my son.
"Where are you going!" The important thing today is to walk around, he said cheerfully.
"How about we go to the park! You want to not?" I asked while stroking her hair.
"OK on." We laughed together too.
****
Arriving at the park Tegar directly running around here and there, really I'm happy if I see my son growing healthy and also jolly.
I chose to sit in the corner of the park while watching Tegar play, there seemed to be a lot of parents who brought their children here. After all, playing in the park does not have to cost money.
While waiting for Tegar play occasionally I take a walk around the park, looking at the atmosphere here that is so good to see.
Flowers are blooming making the mood more fresh.
Relieving the fatigue of the last few is very disturbing to the mind. This heart is time to release all the burdens on the shoulders for a moment even though the problems will remain.
The sound of laughter of all the children in the park makes boisterous and pleasant. Children with small feet around the park or just playing hide and seek with their brothers and parents.
As I watched the children play, my eyes fell upon a long-haired little boy sitting on the edge of the park, holding back a smile as he watched the other child play.
Curiosity drew me to walk towards the little girl.
I set foot in his direction, focusing on the children playing ball with their parents, noticing my arrival.
I walked up to him, watching his already unworthy clothes, feeling sorry for this little boy. But it doesn't look like her parents are here like she's alone.
I slowly noticed her sad face and shabby clothes, how poor she was here alone, when she realized my arrival The girl just smiled at me. A smile that reminds me of someone.
I seem to know that smile once, but I don't know who has that sweet smile.
"Hi, what's your name?" I asked the little girl with a smile.
"I'm Lani Aunty" he replied as he reached out. Very polite this boy.
"You're alone! Where are your Mom and Dad?" Ask slowly.
"I don't know Auntie," she replied, shaking her head with teary eyes.
"Since childhood I lived in a home, but not anymore" replied Lani.
"I ran away from Auntie's home! I wanted to find my mother, but I was confused about where to look," she said, making my heart full.
Too bad this little girl, living alone doesn't know where to go. Very attentive to their parents, I murmured.
"Bun, go home yuk! Tegar tired," said Tegar with a breath that is not boring.
Harder just nodded his head while sipping a bottle of water that I gave just now.
"You rest here sit down!" Invite me while patting the seat beckoning to Tegar.
"Alright Bun," he replied as he landed his back.
Hardcore sat down and ate a little snack that we had down from the house earlier. When Tegar was busy chewing his snacks I saw Lani watching Tegar.
"You Want?" Ask Rigid to Lani, it turns out my son also saw that he was being noticed by someone.
"Take this for you" he said, offering Lani a snack.
Lani looks dumbfounded as Tegar gives some of her food while taking the food.
He immediately devoured all the snacks until the toilet was not left. Looks like Lani's starving.
"Where do you live, Lani?" I asked after he finished his meal.
"I have no place to live Auntie," he replied, bowing languidly.
How cruel their parents are to abandon a child who still needs love and protection.
Looks like Lani is the same age as Tegar.
I noticed his shabby, ugly and dull face. It looks sweet with long hair.
***
"Bun, let's go home," take it hard while pulling my hand.
"Corn," I replied.
We moved from the corner of the park and walked to the parking lot. Hardcore so cheerfully finished playing in the park.
Arriving at the parking lot, I opened the car door and a thunderclap sat there. I saw Lani standing next to me. It turned out that he was following us.
"Where are you going Lan?" My toot. Why are you following Auntie.
"Samma …." You why?" Ask me again.
A sad look on his face that made me confused as to why he was following her here.
The pot!
The pot!
The sound of the ice cream mamang offering his wares passed in front of us.
"Es mang," cried a loud cry from inside the car calling the ice seller.
"Bun, buy ice cream huh?" He said, asking to buy ice cream.
I bought two ice creams for Tegar and Lani. Because Lani also seems to want ice cream too.
After enjoying the ice cream I got into the car to get ready to go home, I pulled the car back out of the park parking lot.
I drove the car slowly out of the park. Looks sad look on Lani's face when I want to leave the park.
There's a sense of pity for him, why I feel sad leaving him alone in the garden.
Though just this time I met the boy, there was a different taste in my heart. I turned the car back towards Lani who was still standing in the parking lot. I got out of the car and met him.
"Why are you still standing here, son?" I asked Lani who was looking at me sharply.
"I …."
