MISS AISHWA
Father Changed
As usual Aishwa woke up in the morning. But this time, his father woke up first.
"Dad" Aishwa gawked at her father who was combing her hair and dressed neatly.
"Mmmmmm" answered his father.
"Where is Dad going?"
"Dad's leaving, business"
Aishwa was astonished because only this time her father was dressed neatly. And last night Aishwa didn't see the bottle in the house either.
"Dad go first. Don't forget the door lock. The key is to put a flower in the pot" his father said as he opened the door and left.
"Good dad".
Aishwa is getting ready to go to work. He didn't eat breakfast, he just filled his water bottle. Then he locked the door like his father had said.
Then he went to Rafa's house and saw Rafa also preparing to leave.
"Ma. Assalamu alaikum" Rafa kisses his mother's hand.
"Hearts to walk, look left right if you want to cross" said Rafa's mother gently.
"Yya ma". Answer Rafa
Aishwa walked towards them.
"Eh. Nak Aishwa's. There's lunch Rafa brought. Eat the same as well"
"Thank you aunt. Sorry to bother auntie".
They also leave. On the street they talk a lot.
"I asked my mom you could study at home. Mama said no problem. He's even smart because you want to learn"
Rafa.
"Oh yeah, I'm really happy". Aishwa. At the end of the day, he is always smiling. Maybe because he finally had a story companion.
Without realizing it, they finally arrived at the base.
They opened the box under Rafa and ate together.
A few hours later, many people were queuing up to shine.
"She.. These are shoes I can't shine on?" A fat man whose rear queue showed them his shoes. It looks like the shoes are not made of synthetic leather, can only be cleaned because if the polish will make the material quickly shabby.
"Sorry sir, this cannot be polished, because the shoes will be damaged" explained Aishwa
"Oh .I've been waiting an hour. Time can't be shined?" The man began to raise his tone.
"Sorry sir, we're afraid the shoes will not be clean, even dirty". Rafa.
"Alaaaah, sudaaah.
The polish box was slightly cracked, there was a piece of bolt and wood coming off.
Aishwa took the box and her tears sagged.
The father just left
"Wait sir, you have to take responsibility. Look at that" Rafa chased and pointed at Aishwa's polish box.
" It is precisely you who are responsible, you are wasting my time" said the father.
"Can't do it dong. You can't talk good?"
"You, you little boy" just wanted to slap Rafa, a young man came to clutch his hand.
"Ho.. dare to be a child?" Said the man in a depressed tone
"Who are you, don't interfere"
" You want me to report to the police for violence against children, I've made a video tape of what you've done before".
The man looked frightened and left.
"What's the deck?" Ask Rafa.
"I'm fine, but he" while pointing to Aishwa.
Aishwa sat pensively. I don't know what he's gonna do to the box.
"Go home first. later at home fixed. It's easy to fix." Said the man looking at the box of polish.
"Where are your houses? I'm anterin" asked the young man.
They were driven home in the man's car.
Aishwa still showed a sad expression. He was still thinking about his box of polish.
They also arrived. Only Rafa and the man talked a lot, Aishwa just kept quiet.
Rafa's mother welcomes them and Rafa explains what happened.
The man then left and left.
"Son Aishwa, be patient" said Rafa's mother while hugging Aishwa. Just this time Aishwa felt a warmth within her. Just this time there was someone who was hugging him and seemed to feel his sadness.
"Iyya aunt. I want to go to the house first" said Aishwa in a similar tone.
Aishwa. The door of his house was open. Inside it looks like his father is cooking something.
"Dad.." cried Aishwa
"Aishwa's. Why did he come home so fast?"
Aishwa without saying anything, she just showed the polish box doubtfully.
"Later to fix it, you just ate your break".
Aishwa was astonished, silent and riveted. Because usually his father will be angry if something happens.
***
Later that night Aishwa hesitantly asks her father for permission to go to Rafa's house.
"Dad...mmmmm can Aishwa go to the neighbor's house?"
"Why what?" Ask his father while fixing the polish box with makeshift lighting.
"That..mmmmm"
"Go there, don't come home". Answer Father.
"Thank you Dad" Aishwa quickly went to Rafa's house.
"Assalamu aleikum, Rafa".
"Wa alaikum salam, uh nak Aishwa. Please come in" Rafa's mother opened the door and told him to come in.
Rafa's house isn't too narrow. The furniture is also good. There are no rooms, but the bed is thick. Load for all three of them. There was a study table, there was a table and a guest chair made of wood. Maybe the owner took good care of it.
Aishwa then sat down on the floor. The floor is acian and coated with plastic.
It looks like Rafa is praying behind a closet.
"Sister" Rafa's sister came over.
"You want to play with dolls?" He gave Aishwa a teddy doll that belonged to Mr. Beans. Aishwa knows the doll belongs to Mr. Bean because at home he also has the doll. When Rafa's younger brother, his father also bought a doll. And explained to Aishwa that it belonged to Mr. Beans.
"Whose name are you?" Ask Aishwa
"La.iii..naaa.." she replied with a brick still and a long tone.
"Will Raina?"
"Mm-mm"
"Do you know who this doll is?" Ask Aishwa.
"Mistel bin's. But said mama doll mistel bin dikasi to me"
"Oh. that's. Then why did Raina kill me for her doll"
"Kalna doesn't have any toys. Ihik ihik" Raina laughed funny.
Shortly thereafter Rafa appears with a wide variety of stationery.
They start learning.
Aishwa is given a pencil and a book.
He was taught to recognize letters and numbers first.
Rafa writes the letters and Aishwa follows them. Aishwa looks so excited.
"This is the letter A and this is a small one".
Rafa.
