LOVE AND CERTAINTY

Uncle's Trust

"Hi, sweet sister." I said to the little girl who caught me when Zen landed his kiss.

He still gave his innocent smile.

"Why am I ashamed of myself, huh?" inner mumbling.

I also stepped my feet closer to the sweet girl who was still standing behind the fence of my house.

"What's up, Neng Alea?" I asked while smiling at the little girl.

"Sister... Brother... What else was that?" asked Alea innocently.

I smiled at him hearing his question. Instead of answering my question, I asked back.

"Basic, boy!" my meaning is in my heart.

"Alea... Alea.." came her mother's voice calling from a distance.

"Sister, I go home first, yes." said Alea to me.

I also just nodded with my head.

Hmh! You little boy, that's all you do! Diana

After Zen's departure, I also intend to go to my uncle's workshop. It seems like the days ahead, the workshop will be the place to spend all my time.

I am also getting ready to go there. I took my little pink bag and put it on my shoulder. I forgot to put my phone in it.

When I felt ready, I locked the door. Then I dragged my feet towards the bike I parked in the corner of my house.

I ride my bike casually. Because this afternoon, the weather is dimming, so the sun is not too stinging when it penetrates my skin.

It seems the sky will lower its rain. Providing one of the sources of life that is very much missed by the inhabitants of the earth.

Wh why? Because it has been a long dry season hit this beloved earth.

If it rains, but the water from the sky comes only briefly. Not even the drinking plants quenched their thirst, the rain was gone.

Thus, the water supply began to decrease everywhere.

Sometimes, though God sends down His mercy. However, because of the actions and greed of humans, which was once mercy even became a catastrophe.

Avalanches come uninvited, and flooding in cities is like food that is usually present when the rainy season arrives. Plus, if flash floods hit, it really worries the fate of the population in this country.

Therefore, we must maintain the balance of the earth. By not cutting down trees carelessly, even if you have to cut down, get used to planting new tree seeds. For the lives of our grandchildren in the future.

That's what I read in the book PLH. hehe

My bike was paused for a moment, when my eyes saw plastic packages of old instant noodles and soft drinks. In fact, the trash can is not too far from the plastic waste.

But still, there are humans who are still reluctant to throw garbage in its place.

In fact, this small step that we can do easily has a big impact on the safety of this earth.

I also extended my hand to grab the garbage, then walked to the trash that has been provided by this government.

After I finished taking out the trash, I immediately took my bike back to my uncle's workshop.

Shortly after arriving at the workshop, I also said greetings, "Assalamu'alaikum all.." I said to all residents in this workshop.

Whether it is real or invisible residents. haha

"Wa'alaikum salam" they answered in unison.

"Konan, Mah..."

"Yes, donk..." Uh, Uh, wrong! This isn't Mamah and Aa. hehe

"Tumben, Diana hit us, usually it's just Fadly being greeted" one of the mechanics told me.

"Diana!" call the mechanic while looking at me who is walking.

I stopped my footsteps too.

"Healthy you?" tanyanya.

"Byeah! Why me, Mang?" confused answer.

"Tumben and nyapa!" sahut the mechanic.

"Haha... Mang.. I'm already insyaf, so I'm going to fuck you guys!" I said while laughing.

As for Brother Fadly, he was just giggling watching this incident.

"Diana!" uncle cried when he saw my arrival.

I approached him and kissed the back of his hand.

"Yes, Uncle. When did you get home from out of town?" many of you are surprised to see the whereabouts of Uncle. My uncle is rarely in the shop. Therefore, all responsibilities regarding this workshop are handed over to Brother Fadly.

"Yes, Di. Uncle just got there." replied my uncle briefly.

Can you come with Uncle, come inside?" pinta Uncle to me.

I just smiled and nodded my head.

I'm tailing behind Uncle. My uncle took me into his house. Actually, the workshop in front, fused with Uncle's house. You could say, if the front page of Uncle's house is used to open a workshop.

"Sit down, Di." said Uncle let me sit on the living room couch.

"Thank you, Uncle," I said and sat face to face with my uncle.

"What did Uncle call me?" manya curious. Because it's not usual for Uncle to ask me specifically like this.

"Continue, Aunt where's Uncle? Not coming?" I asked while looking for my aunt's whereabouts.

"No, Di. Auntie's busy out of town." replied Uncle.

"Ah, yes, Uncle." I said, bowing my head.

"Kan, honey, Di. Will your performance stop?" said Uncle enthusiastically.

"Yes, how else, Uncle. My money is not enough for that. The monthly money given by my father was only sufficient for my needs," lamented I who still did not dare to look into his eyes.

"So, you stopped your lecture?" firmly Uncle.

"If the plan is not, Uncle. I will try to save a little more, until later I can continue my college," I assured.

"Yes, great. Uncle hopes you can go to school as high as possible. Gaining all your hopes and dreams."

I just returned Uncle's words with a smile.

"Actually, this Uncle's coming home, there's an important need for you, Diana!"

"What, Uncle?" i'm surprised. Because, I'm afraid I've made mistakes, because lately I rarely go to work because of the busyness in my school.

"Hmm. look at Diana. Uncle opened a new branch out of town. You know that, right?" asked Uncle while looking at me.

"Yes," I nodded.

"Well, in the recent times Uncle is busy with a new branch. Finally, Uncle and Aunt decided this workshop we trust you with, Di!" exclaim Uncle explained all the intentions of his arrival.

"What Uncle?" I shook my head, though,

"I'm not ready, Uncle. I haven't been able to manage all the business of this workshop!" my reply felt that it was not appropriate to hold the full scope of this workshop.

"Uncle believes in your abilities, Diana!" My uncle looked at me trying to convince me.

"Uncle, we've exchanged stories with Fadly about your loyalty, Diana.

You besides working hard, also qualified in processing this workshop. Your hospitality to consumers, adding many customers in this workshop," said Uncle very confident to me.

"What was...your friendliness?" thought I remembered something.

How I am not friendly try, the name of the work in the workshop, there are only people who just ask for an autograph, ask for a mobile number, there are even those who ask for photos of everything.

I'm a celebrity, right?? Diana

But, sometimes I am happy also if the asking men continue to be handsome again, more giving tips, want to ask for numbers I love. haha

Well, if you are unlucky, who asked not handsome men, even the fathers, continue to make sense again, do not know yourself times huh?! huh...

"Diana... how?" asking Uncle was like asking me to make a decision immediately.

"Indeed, Uncle one hundred percent believes in me?" ask again. Because, I don't want Uncle to trust me only half-and-half. Fearfully, in the future Uncle and Aunt regretted his decision.

"Uncle and Aunt are very sure of you, Di. Uncle really believes your performance is very good, besides you are diligent, you are also very honest, Di. Uncle knows it!" uncle was very hopeful for me.

"Uncle assured, with your honesty, you will advance this workshop. Don't worry, Fadly will guide you until you're able to take care of everything."

"Don't refuse ya, Di. Let's just say Uncle helped add to your savings a little. So that your savings can be collected faster. Later, if you decide to continue your college, Uncle will not matter either. You can work part-time as usual. And can still hold full against this workshop." Uncle explained.

"Alright, Uncle. Thank you for your Uncle and Aunt.

I'll try to keep Uncle's workshop to the best of my ability.

Say thank you to Auntie, too, Uncle. All this time, I was deeply indebted to my Uncle and Aunt." I said thank you for helping my uncle and my mother a lot.

"Yes, same, Di. Take good care of yourself, yeah. Never waste the opportunity you have."

"Uncle pamit, yes. Because Uncle can't stay in this town for long. There's a lot of work Uncle has to do" said Uncle to me.

I kissed the back of Uncle's hand.

After that, I left first to leave Uncle. Because, I have to go back to accompany Brother Fadly who was busy serving buyers.

***

After 19:00, the workshop finally began to close. I hurried to leave my job too.

Trrtts... Trrtts...

Suddenly my phone shook. However, I ignored it because I was riding my bike back to my house.

When I got home, I rushed to the bathroom. Intend to clean this body of dust and germs that may stick when I was outdoors. Before long, my phone shook back.

I saw on the phone screen, it turns out someone made a call to my phone number.

I swiped the green button to pick up the call.

"Callo, Zen!" I'll say a sap to Zen across there.

But tired, I lay my body on the bed in my room.

"Cummer, Diana. Are you all right?"

I was still speechless, without answering any questions from Zen.

"What are you doing?"

"Why didn't you pick up my phone?"

However, Zen only heard my breath. Slowly but surely I too slept.

I finally fell asleep and left Zen across the phone there.

Epilogues

"Hubliness! Every time on the phone, it's sleeping!" zen said he felt annoyed when he found Diana sleeping.

**haha...😂😂

Seriate...

Already yes, it turns out Diana overslept....😂😂😂**
