Lord.. Whatwoulder??
About Aliff
"Strash"
The voice broke Sarah's daydream
"What's that?" murmured Sarah
Sarah rushed out of the room and saw Elvira fall
"Oh my God, El, what are you doing? why don't you call me Mama?" sarah was worried
"El just wanted to grab the box that was on top of it Mom" Elvira said as she pointed at a box on top of her closet
"Here you go, Mother, you just take it, you just sit there"
"Mom.. "
"Why El? here's the box"
"I'm sorry El Bu, El promise will not ask about who Mr El bu is" said El bowed lethargic
"El, I should be apologizing to you, because I've been rude to you. El listen to Mom, I promise you I'll tell you who your Father is but not now, I still need some time to love" Sarah said, holding Elvira's hand
Elvira just nodded slowly
"Have you eaten El?"
"Not yet"
"Yes, let's eat first"
They headed to the dining table, there was no conversation between the two.
They just focus on their food.
After eating Elvira rushed to her room to finish some homework given by the teacher.
"El, the door to the house in the lock yes, I want to walk first"
"Where are you going? it's still afternoon ma'am"
"Mommy wants to go to Miss Deva's house, said there was a little work for Mom, maybe she came home a little late"
"Yes Ma'am" said Elvira slowly
****
Time has shown at nine o'clock in the evening, but Sarah has not returned
Elvira looked very worried, occasionally looking at the window.
"That night why you haven't come home either" muttered Elvira.
"Assalamu'alaikum" Sarah said as she opened her door
"Waalaikumsalam, is it really night for me to come home?"
"Well you haven't slept El?"
"Not yet, I'm waiting for Mom"
"Don't wait, did you say Mom came home a little night"
"Ke Bu Deva's house kok until this semester the Mom?"
"Yes, there was more work El, the employees were also a lot of overtime, tomorrow I was told to go there again to help help"
"Alhamdulillah"
"Yes already, sleep first there is night, tomorrow you have to go to school right"
"Yes Mom"
***
"El, wake up this early morning" Sarah said as she knocked on Elvira's room
"Hmm yes Mom"
After taking a bath and morning prayers Elvira headed for the dining table.
"Yes Mom, I'm going to Bu Deva's house again, right?"
"Dear, baby, but don't know what time you'll be home, just bring your keys with you, I have a spare key"
"Hmm yes Mom"
"If there's an Arman don't open it"
"Who's Arman?"
"Round bank"
"Why, Mom?"
"Don't ask too many questions, just don't open it"
Elvira just nodded, actually she wanted to know, for what money borrowed by her mother, and how much money.
At school
"El. " cried Tantry from outside the school gate.
"Eh Tan, I'm sure the clock is here"
"Are you, I'm often late?"
"I'm usually the one who comes early hehehe"
"Oh yeah, I'll go back to school to my house"
Elvira was silent for a moment, she still felt bad about Aunt Marwah and Shava
"The same thing Umma has come home from Umrah, bring by by for you and Mom"
"Hmm so be it then" said Elvira with a smile
After finishing school hours Elvira went to Tantry's house.
Arriving at Tantry's house.
"Assalamu'alaikum"
"Waalaikumsalam, Umma's son has come home eh El, here dear enter"
"Yes Umma" said El, kissing the back of Umma Zakiah's hand
"To the room yuk El" take Tantry
"There is Tan"
"El Umma is by a little for you, a minute yes Umma get it"
Elvira only smiled sweetly, not by her who was waiting, but the hospitality of Umma Zakiah and Abah Husein was what she longed for.
"Tan, where is Abah?" el whispered.
"Go outside for a minute"
"If Aunt Marwah?"
"Hmmm"
"Assalamu'alaikum" a man's voice came from behind Tantry's door
"Waaikumsalam, uh Om" said Tantry surprised
"Hay Tantry, how are you?"
"Alhamdulillah good Om, Om when will it be?"
"It's Om just got straight here"
"Oh yes Tantry to forget, know this Tantry friend named Elvira"
Elvira smiled as she reached out to shake hands
"El this Om my name is Om Aliff"
