Love Arrum
13. Misses
Arrum stared at the astonished car in front of the house, this was the same car that Andi brought from the foundation at that time. Who does this car really belong to? if it belongs to Andi, why not be in this house every day. And why does Andi prefer his bike?
"Why bengong? this is Rangga's car, he's my best friend. I don't like to drive cars, so I have no intention of buying. I prefer the motor." Andi explained while locking the house.
"I borrowed it again last night after coming home from the cafe because I knew you would definitely wear clothes like this.There's no way I'd take you on my bike, would you if your clothes were like this?" added Andi opened the car door for Arrum.
Arrum does use a robe with a long veil that is the same color as the robe.
The car was traveling at a moderate speed. During the trip Andi asked a lot about Arya. Arrum tells how Arya is very independent and smart. Andi responds to Arrum's story by occasionally stealing his gaze, looking at Arrum's face which turns out to be a true ayu. Never had Andi seen Arrum apply makeup, even though it was just a thin polish, it was enough to conjure up the woman's face emitting an aura that was hard for Andi to define. He liked Arrum's soft face.
After almost an hour of travel, they were almost there. But Andi suddenly turned his car into a minimarket next to the cafe.
"We buy souvenirs for your son first, buy snacks that he likes, as well as other needs. Use this to pay. I'll wait at the cafe and we'll have breakfast there." Andi gave her ATM card.
"No, thank you. I have money from my salary. I'll pay for it myself" Arrum refused her but soon Andi pulled Arrum's hand and put it in his palm.
"I don't like to be disputed, this is an order. The pins are****** easy to memorize right?? And one more thing, you still say 'me'." Andi's eyes slightly whipped up the sign he was not happy. Arrum who felt intimidated chose to comply.

Arriving at the boarding school, it was clear that Arrum immediately met his son, tightly hugged the boy. They miss each other between them. Arrum was crying, like a mother who had not seen her baby for a long time.
He looked at the boy, now very different from before. Arya was wearing Koko's shirt with a sarong subordinate. Not to forget the black skull on his head that characterizes a santri.
Arrum was very happy to meet his son who is now very polite. Seen as he greeted Arrum and Andi upon their arrival.
"Mother lied Arya, om this is actually your mother's friend. It's just that your mother works at home OM." Andi explained to Arya emphasizing om's call on her while glancing at Arrum with a threatening smile.
"Om Andi, thank you for taking my mother to see me" said Arya
"Same-sama dear. oh yes how is your salary? how many iqro?" Andi squatting aligns herself with Arya.
Arrum feels strange with affectionate pronunciation by Andi on Arya. Why did she again feel the presence of her late husband on her master. There are many questions Arrum has in his head. Why would Andi waste her time driving her to Arya. Shouldn't he be thinking about his own business rather than what he's doing now? Such is the mind that fills Arrum's mind. He was busy with his expectations.
Seen Arya even so familiar with Andi than himself, Arrum felt a little jealous but more dominant sense of wonder. Why are they so close when they just met.
"Mother.om Andi gave me this. Look at me like it so much" Arya walked up to Arrum to show off what she received. A comic book that tells the story of the boy who is Sholeh.
"What's so good, have you thanked me?" replied Arrum stroking his son's cheek with a warm smile that had unwittingly made Andi who was looking from afar so stunned.
"Here." the boy nodded and went back to Andi.
Arrum approached the two. Then the three of them told each other a story dominated by Arya. The boy looks excited to tell his happiness during his studies at the cottage.
They spend time like a family. Even Joseph initially thought that Andi was the father of Arya.
After it was felt that it was getting late in the afternoon, they decided to say goodbye. Arrum met Kiayi from the cottage and then after paying off some payments, Arrum pampit home.
He hugged Arya tightly before actually leaving. There was a trace of sadness on the faces of both the mother and the child.
