The atmosphere of the day home was different. Irwan and Nur's mother who welcomed the arrival of the mothers of the yellow valley complex were warmly welcomed with hugs and greetings introductions.
When Nur's mother shakes hands with Hanifah's mother, they are shocked by the familiar face in her memory.
" Hanifah's mother??, David's Hanifah mother's name isn't it?? is the mother from Aceh??" asked Bu Nur who did not release his handshake while squinting his forehead to make sure that he was not wrong in recognizing his schoolmates first.
" Nur?? Nur Ashifah??" replied Hanifah's mother who was more surprised by the statement of Nur bu who knew her long name.
" Iya I am Hanifah, Hanifah Daud from Aceh, MasyaAllah, "sober both hugged and mixed.
The whole room became boisterous because these two friends had not met for many years.
" MasyaAllah Nur, did not expect me we meet here in this condition is old, yes, masyayAllah healthy Nur??, " hanifah's mother asked her every meaning because her first friend when she became a regional child after Hanifah's mother's parents moved to work from Aceh to Jakarta. Back the shadow of the school days used to cross the mind of Hanifah's mother how much changed over time both physical and circumstances.
" Alhamdulillah if you say healthy is certainly not as healthy as before, age pains continue to hit but God still trust me to manage the house with all these limitations, Hanifah's own mother how???, oh yes, oh yes, come on other mothers please, enjoy this simple dish, sorry with our limitations in welcoming mothers,," said Nur's mother with a gentle smile greeting the other mothers to taste the dish.
" Thank you mother Nur, replied the mothers of the yellow valley complex almost simultaneously. Hanifah's mother who had been sitting next to Nur's mother accidentally met Irwan who was sitting with Rudi's mother and Dani's mother, and smiled at Irwan who had been welcoming them.
And a light conversation with Nur's mother with the mothers of the Yellow Valley complex about the condition of the orphanage "Nurmala", which now houses 70 orphans and orphans, was discussed, the average age of orphanage children is still the age of school dependents, some are even toddlers, some are toddlers, enlightened the story of the figure of the orphans how they can arrive at the orphanage under the love of Nur's mother.
Irwan who had earlier cooled Nur's mother also felt that the life history of the children of this home was indeed an extraordinary bun, it is also one of the orphanage children who have long lived and grown up thanks to the love of Nur's mother.
Suddenly, Rudi's mother, who was sitting next to Irwan, spoke.
" Oh this is a handsome boy, do you work here??" asked Rudi who had realized that this boy was just silent.
" I am Irwan ma'am, I am one of the children of this home who has lived here for a long time," replied Irwan who was awkward because suddenly asked.
" God," Rudi's mother was half in awe.
" So you've been living in this orphanage for a long time???, I think Irwan's son is a worker in an orphanage".
" Yes so bu, because it has been a long stay at the change even though it has worked outside, but if for the benefit of the orphanage I always try to help, so it can be said to take care of the orphanage as well, so it can be said to take care of the orphanage as well, because this is my home from childhood, " replied Irwan stiff because he knew these mothers must be curious about the story as well.
The eyes of Hanifah's mother were fixed with the figure of Irwan, she remembered her late husband who was also an orphan. Her husband had no family apart from distant relatives who took turns caring for her from childhood to adolescence so forging her into a strong figure at a young age. " This child is keeping me close to you dear," muttered the inner mother Hanifah smilingly recalling the figure of her husband who was very intolerant she was proud of.
" I'm sorry I asked, are you married?? how old are you, Irwan?? " ask Deni's mother.
" I'm not married mom, if you're already in the head of 3 as well," Irwan's smile a bit wry, because this question is too cursive in this condition.
" Nah loh mothers here are ready whose daughters are still single, this is there a prospective good son-in-law, handsome again yaa, "excited bu Deni promotion.
And it was greeted with boisterous laughter of the mothers of the Yellow Valley complex who were engrossed in their own guesses who would be this ghost??.
Irwan who is trapped in this joke can only smile.
Before 4 pm the mothers of the Yellow Valley complex say goodbye to the mothers of Nur and Irwan, they hug each other and hope this friendship continues. Mothers also hope that the help they provide can help Nur's mother in caring for the orphanage children.
After the other mothers got into the car, Hanifah's mother approached Nur and Irwan's mother.
Hanifah's mother asked Irwan to take a photo of the two friends as a memento and alternated mobile phone.
And Irwan also captured the moment of Nur's mother and Hanifah's mother on the camera phone of Hanifah's mother.
After it was felt enough Irwan returned the phone belonging to Hanifah's mother.
But, suddenly Hanifah's mother told Irwan to stand alone with Nur's mother.
" Okay, hold 1, 2, 3" the checks and pictures are stored on Hanifah's mother's phone.
" Thank you, Nur's mother and Irwan's son" Hanifah's mother said.
" Iyya Hanifah's mother is equally grateful for her arrival" Irwan said.
But Hanifah's mother pulled Nur's hand away from Irwan.
Half a whisper to Nur's mother
" Nur, later I call yaa, there is something that seems to be a good relationship later," said Hanifah's mother while smiling at Irwan who was staring at her phone.
Ibu Nur who still does not understand just say yes, because the group of complex mothers have called Hanifah's mother to ride in the car.
" Assalamualaikum" said Ms. Hanifah as she ran to her car.
" Wa'alaikumsalam, " answered Nur's mother still confused by the words of Hanifah's mother earlier.

However, all he refused because he did not want to leave the orphanage and Nur's mother.
It was too heavy for him to leave all his dark childhood memories. He did not want to be forgotten about all that, so he pioneered the cafe and bistro business with a strong determination to be able to continue to be in the orphanage family and Nur's mother.
The speed of the white Civic sedan car owned by Irwan pum smoothly down the capital road that has been rather crowded in the afternoon hours before the afternoon, it took 1 hour to pass through the congested highway in these hours because all office residents and school children have entered the clock home.
Arriving at the Orphanage, Irwan did not meet Nur's mother. But he continued to look for Nur's mother who might not be in his room, while he was about to get out of the Orphanage office by accident he was looking for mas Bambang, and Irwan also greeted.
" Where's mom?" asked Irwan.
" Wow, Mas does not know where the mother is, maybe in the kitchen with Mbok Sri to prepare dinner cooking," said Mas Bambang also look around looking for where Nur's mother is.
" Oh, okay Mas, Irwan try to go to the kitchen ya, first yes Mas, " said Irwan with a sergeant walking into the side hall to go to the kitchen.
But it seems Irwan did not find the figure of Nur's mother there, there was only Mbok Sri cs who was carrying royong cooking for dinner at home.
However, suddenly a little girl ran over and stopped to pinch the side of Irwan's thigh, and was seen Irwan grinning in pain .

" Dek Wulan??, why did you pinch Irwan's thigh pain tau," said Irwan sembaru lowered his head to spread himself to the little girl.
" Where are you going?? " tanya irwan while mourning the random front sign of Wulan until he closed his eyes.
The little girl did not answer, she just held her hand to Irwan.
Irwan frowned and looked at Wulan's eyes,
" Would you like some more money?? make what?? was this morning already divided by Sari for snacks at school??, " said Irwan.
But the little girl still did not answer, she just continued to hold her hand to Irwan.
" Okay, Brother Irwan will love you, but on one condition, try to answer for what??," Irwan knew it was impossible to be joined by Wulan, the little girl remained unmoved.
Although Wulan is not mute, but his voice was lost after a tragic incident happened to the family of this little girl in front of his eyes, so after the unfortunate incident the smile and voice of Wulan lost due to trauma 2 years ago.
" Irwan, Irwan??" the typical voice of Nur's mother is heard clearly so that Irwan reflex wake up.
" Yes ma'am, Irwan here," replied Irwan while giving two thousand money to Wulan and passed leaving the little girl to Nur's mother who was in front of the porch of Nur's mother's room.

" Irwan I hope this does not offend you, if you may ask if you have a girl you like??" asked Nur's mother hesitantly waiting for an answer from Irwan.
Irwan was a little surprised by Nur's mother's question, because very rarely did Nur's mother offend personal affairs.
" Hmm, no ma'am," replied Irwan briefly.
" Irwan, would you not if you introduce the daughter of a mother's best friend??, "ask Nur's mother enthusiastically.
" I'm sorry if I'm not polite to ask you this, your age is mature enough to build a new family, I know you're still reluctant because of your background but trust me God must have sent a family that accepts you as a child,," obviously, Nur bu while patting Irwan's shoulder as an encouragement to be able to open up.
And Irwan just took a deep breath and smiled at the advice of his adoptive mother.
" Yes," Irwan replied gently.
" if this is the best inshaAllah Irwan according to what his mother said, Irwan wants to meet the girl he meant, " said Irwan smilingly trying to make peace with his heart that is still stiff.
