" i asked my mom why I was sitting on the sidewalk?" ask Salsa back.
" ahh was the mother of shopping in the minimarket and when it came out suddenly there was a snatch bag mother then mother chasing but because the age of the mother is not young anymore so the mother can not pursue them anymore and the condition of the streets was quiet so no one could help mother.mother wanted to call the mother's husband but the mother's phone was in the bag that was snapped earlier so the mother was confused how to." obviously that woman.
" attagfirullah is Allah, but I'm fine, right? is anyone hurt?" salsa asked the woman's condition.

" well then you can use my phone to contact the mother's family. mother memorized the mother's family's mobile number right?" salsa asked while giving her the phone.
" yes, I want you to call my mother's son." the woman replied.
" let's go to my house so mom can wait for an invitation from me to sit here" Salsa said.
" doesn't it bother you, son?" ask the mother.
" no ma'am, come on." said Salsa, they went inside the house and went up to the second floor while leading the mother while the two boys followed behind.

" i'm sorry son if I asked the wrong question" said Ms. Aida who felt guilty.
" it's okay mom. I got divorced with my husband two years ago mom." Salsa replied.
" why are you getting divorced?" ask Aida ma'am.
" my husband's family wanted me and my ex-husband to give a male child but the one I gave birth to was a daughter, so because it didn't match their expectations, my ex-husband dropped Talak three hours after I gave birth to my daughter." explains Salsa.
" astagfirullah, men or women are the same.they are both creations of God.if they do not accept it means they doubt the destiny given by God" said Bu Aida.
" who is this boy?" ask Aida who was pointing towards Alan.
" he was my milk boy so he was a sister-in-law with my daughter." replied Salsa.
" he was born different a day to my daughter. at that time I wanted to get out of the hospital but while walking in the corridor I heard the sound of crying baby then I ventured to go into the hospital room and I asked why the baby was not in susui turned out that the mother refused the presence and left her who was still in a red state. her mother went with her affair.and the baby was allergic to cow's milk so that I became her mother for two years." salsa.
" astagfirullah, what kind of mother is that. Then instead of you also having to breastfeed your daughter? isn't it bothering your daughter?" ask Aida again.
" thank God as long as I breastfeed them both, my breast milk is always abundant so I can breastfeed two babies at once." replied Salsa.
" subhanallah, what a noble heart you son." said Ms. Aida. Salsa simply replied with a smile.
" where are your parents, son?" asked Ms. Aida. hearing the question, Salsa's eyes immediately glazed over until her tears dripped down, making Ms. Aida feel very guilty asking like that.
" i'm sorry if mom's questions hurt you" said Ms. Aida feeling guilty.
" it's okay ma'am." reply Salsa.
" you don't have to answer mom's question" said Ms. Aida.
" i don't care mom. I was an orphan . I lived in an orphanage when I was five" Salsa said.
" Oh, God wants you to feel guilty" said Ms. Aida.
" it's okay ma'am" said Salsa.
" if you can tell, what happened to your parents, son?" ask Aida ma'am.
" i don't know about it either ma'am." replied Salsa.
" how could you not know that?" ask Aida's mom curious.
