"Ella, are you done praying? Get out" call Albert and knock on Ella's door.
"Oh yeah, I was curious. Why did Albert suddenly appear, huh?" ella thought, when she heard the man's voice. Clack! Ella opened the door to her room. A man with a sweet smile greeted her. "God! I could have a heartache if the gini kept going" Ella cried in her heart.
"Ella, your clothes ..." Albert's forehead creased while commenting on the girl who was still wearing her school uniform.
"I-I haven't prayed and changed clothes" Ella said nervously. He then ran to the bathroom located near the kitchen.
Moments later, Ella came out of the room with a thin powder on her face. Her uniform has been swapped for a doll-patterned nightgown.
"I'm sorry, Ma. And thank you for the gift, too" Ella whispered before her mother. "I was shocked, Mama bought me that expensive dress and shoes. Even though my birthday was a long time ago" said Ella.
"Mama also apologizes, dear. Mama should be proud, you are independent. I'm sorry that you never celebrated your birthday. Hope you like the prize" Ghina said with raucous.
"I like it, Ma. Thank you." Thank you." Ella hugged and kissed her mother's forehead gently. Eyes glazed. If the papa is still alive, surely this happiness will be more complete.
Albert smiled happily, watching the two women return. He secretly photographed the moment with his cell phone camera.
"Ah, Mama changed her mind. Mama remains worried that you work at a cafe and gather with guys there," he added.
Ella laughed at hearing that. He then let go of his embrace. "What is this mama, anyway? So I'm sorry what?" ask Ella.
Ghina hugged her daughter tightly. "Where can you scold your child again. Mama could lose her only full month in this house, if it forbids you to do many things. Mama allows you to work there, but on one condition, you must still receive the monthly money that Mama loves," Ghina gave a long advice to her daughter.
"Really, Ma? Asiiik! Thanks, Ma."
"Ih, Mama. Don't be so strong as to say it" Ella protested.
"Yes, take a shower there. Abis, we have dinner. Mama was cooking chicken soup" Ghina said.
"OK, Ma. I've also laper, nih," Ella replied cheerfully.
"Ah, wait a minute. There is one more condition if you want to work there" Ghina said.
"What else, Ma? He said only one. Ella extended her lips, two centimeters forward.
"Two conditions, really. In addition to receiving monthly money from Mams, you also have to promise. You won't smoke, play games, get along with the guys there, and keep learning" Ghina said.
"Huh? A lot, Ma? That's more than two. Ah, Mama's not cool, huh. I can't actually work, right?" Ella stomped her feet pretending to sulk.
Albert, who had been a loyal listener and spectator since, massaged his dizzy head. Just five minutes ago the mother and son made up. Now they have raised the war flag again. The haru atmosphere that had just been created, suddenly disappeared.
"Are they like this every day?" inner Albert shock.
"Yes, you can work. But remember what Mama said. He also cannot go home more than six in the afternoon" Ghina said.
"Well, how do you add more rules?" ella protest.
