That night Love had just arrived home after working part time as a cashier at one of the biggest malls in the capital.
His face looked tired after the previous two days he could not sleep well.
"Assynoltomodel.."
Love opens the door with a spare key that she deliberately carries. because she always comes home late at night and does not want to disturb the residents of the house.
Love immediately went to her room. But when passing through the room of aunty Kartikha, he said he heard the chant of the holy verse read in a very melodious and soul-stirring voice and calm the heart of anyone who heard it.
"God willing.This holy verse makes me calm .."
Love Mumbles.
Slowly he tried to open the door that turned out to be unlocked.
From behind the door he saw Aunt Kartikha who was teaching.
Love entered the room, then sat on the side of the bed right behind aunt Kartikha.
I don't know how long Aunt Kartikha taught, until without realizing Love overslept.
After teaching Aunt Kartikha (or now we can call mother) to tidy up her face and alphabet, then put the Qur'an she read on the nightstand.
When going to lie on the bed, Mother saw Love who had fallen asleep still wearing a work uniform.
"Geez Love.until you fall asleep here.Pity, he must be very tired.."
Mumbles Mother.
slowly Mother fix the sleeping position of Love, then cover her body with a blanket to the limit of the chest.
"Mas.if you were still there, surely you would insist on asking this child to stop working and focus on college.. You know, she called me Mom.. He has become our son.. He's our son.."
Mother shed tears.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
The morning Azan reverberated, Love awoke from his sleep.
when he regained consciousness, he saw it around him.
"eeh. This isn't my room.."
muttered.
Seen right next to him Mom was still fast asleep.
he held the middle-aged woman's hand while slowly waking her up.
"Mom.get up mom.. Praying first.."
I opened my eyes and realized.
After cleansing themselves, Love and Mother perform congregational dawn prayers.
After the dawn prayer, Cinta went straight to the kitchen to cook breakfast for them.
Mom soon followed.
"What are you cooking, son..?"
ask Mom while taking a glass to drink.
"i cook chicken rica-rica same saute kale bu..
Mother must be addicted.when I was still in the village, uncle same aunt most like it if I masakin it. eat it until added.."
answer Love with a smile.
Mom smiled seeing him.
"Your uncle and aunt must be very happy.they're very lucky to have a niece like you.."
Said Mother.
Love shakes hard.
"It is precisely me who is very lucky to have uncles and aunts like them ma'am. Since my parents died, they took care of and raised me like my own child. and now God added to that happiness after I was reunited with my mother and deceased father.."
reply Love.
I am so excited to hear the words Love.
*this girl is very innocent.A glance she looks like a young girl in general.but somehow she always makes the people around her feel calm and peaceful.
after the meal is over, Love serves it on the table.
"Love.your cooking is delicious.."
praise Mother while giving a thumbs up when tasting Cinta cuisine.
"Where do you like..?"
ask Love.
"Well, we can open a restaurant.."
Said Mom with a smile, and returned a smile also by Love.
"Love.. May I say something..?"
My face looked calm.
"what's mom..?"
tanya Cinta who still enjoys her breakfast.
"You.. really think of Mom as your Mom, right..?"
"Why do you ask that..?
Ma'am, just like Mom, who thinks I'm Mom's son, I also think of Mom as my mother.."
answer Love while holding her mother's hand.
"Then, I want to ask you for something.a mother requests her child..are you willing to fulfill it..?"
Mom asked seriously.
"Mom.whatever you ask me while I can, God willing I will try to fulfill.."
"Love, from now on, I want you to stop working and focus on your college.."
Love was stunned to hear his mother's request.
*How come I quit my job, where I can help my uncle and aunt in the village.. O Allah.the servant must do what..
inner Love.
"Son..you're willing to comply with Mother's request..?"
My face looked hopeful.
"Mom.I need some time to answer..
I don't mind, do you..?"
Mom nodded slowly.
"Jas.. I'm not going to force you to make a decision right now, but, I really hope you can focus on your college.."
"Yes mom.."
answer Love while nodding.

That morning Love arrived at the campus and immediately looked for Raffa.
he wanted to thank you for the help Raffa gave him last night. But it turned out to take a long time to look for him especially because Love did not know which faculty he was in.
"Am I asking Fitri or Jihan..?
maybe they know.."
muttered Love.
Love turned around about to head for class, but she suddenly hit someone's chest.
"Hoii. if the road looks ahead, not down.."
Said the person who was hit by Love while grunting annoyed.
"Yes it's wrong to have a sutet pole kayak body.."
Reply Love is no less ketus.
"God.. It's midget, it's nothing.."
The love that felt unaccepted said midget immediately looked up, and it turned out that the person he hit was Raffa.
"Oh.. Hiya.."
Love greeted Raffa with an awkward smile
*Goodoo...dumb I. nyariin he daritadi want to say thanks for last night, uh even I why he pole sutet. sometimes my lips are too honest.
inner Love.
"Ngapain is as comfortable as that smile..? I wouldn't be tempted by a midget girl.."
Then Raffa passed by haughtily.
"Yasalammm.. there are people who are kekgitu. when the intention was to say thank you. but do not be, I take again his words of thanks even though it has not been spoken.."
muttered Love that looked covetous.
The lecture hours are over, Cinta intends to go back to Raffa to apologize.
although it turns out they are in the same faculty, but again Love must have difficulty looking for it.
"the sutet pole where to try.had been searched for all classes not visible stem nose.Even he was not in the lab room and dean's room.though the punishment is still running.."
Love Mumbles
"I try to find in the warehouse deh.ja he again confused the difference between the broom and kemoceng.."
Then Love walked towards the open warehouse. And it turns out that it was true that Raffa was in the warehouse with a bad condition: hit by an iron ladder.
"Well.be hit with a twin.."
Love Ledek
"Hoii midget.bantuin..!!"
Raffa seemed to have difficulty standing up to lift the iron ladder because his legs sprained due to being hit.
Love helps Raffa lift the iron ladder, and return it to its original place.
then Love thrust the tip of the wand towards Raffa.
"Make what..?"
Ask Raffa wonder.
"help you stand up.."
Answer Love innocently.
"God.your intention is to help you not really.."
Raffa growls.
"Yeah intention lah. if not intention why I'm here try.."
With forced Raffa relented and then grabbed the tip of the bull's trunk to help him stand.
Love tries to pull him away with all its might. But because of the differences in posture that is very far, plus Raffa is a man still Love lost power and eventually fell on Raffa's body.
Raffa swiftly propped his hands on the floor so that his head would not hit, and they ended up in an awward position.
and worse, now both wrists Raffa also sprained because of the wrong position.
"Sorry. Wait a minute let me ask you a favor.."
Love just stood up and left with a red face.
"Goddessa. This is not helping her name, but it adds to her suffering.."
raffa murmur.
