“ Mas, we buy food to open outside aja yes ? I don't feel strong if I have to cook. Where the smell must be tempting faith again. If Umi is cooking, I am not good. Even so ngerepotin umi. “ pinta Selsa when she and her husband are on their way home.

Fortunately today Elyas wants to go to work with Selsa's car. So he should not be troubled and troubled to deal with his wife who continues to whine all day because of hunger and thirst.

“ Hem. “ replied Elyas while nodding. He stared straight at the street in front of him.

“ What to buy for food ? “ asked without looking at Selsa.

“ Want sushi, grenade meatballs, rice field, chicken krispi, catfish, ice boba flavored chocholate hazelnut, young coconut ice, the same strawberry flavored soup pudding. “ replied Selsa mentioned all kinds of food she wanted to eat with a sparkling face.

Elyas furrowed both of his brows, glancing sideways for an instant. “ Sure, want all that food ? “ tanyanya.

“ He em. “ Selsa nodded for sure.

“ Out ? “ ask Elyas again. But Selsa sniffed her shoulder.

“ If you are not sure you can spend all the food, do not buy all. Mubadzir's fall later. Just choose which one you want the most. “ said Elyas.

“ Wants all. “ Og Selsa.

“ Continues, if not exhausted, want to be in the humanity of that much food ? “ ask Elyas. “ We fast it to restrain the lust. Even Prophet Muhammad SAW said that we are encouraged to stop eating before we feel full. “ he continued.

“ There is Elyas. You can help me out if later I do not run out. “ said Selsa.

Elyas took a long breath. “ Even though I eat, the food will not be possible to run out. “ he said while looking at Selsa who was looking down.

It is not the true heart of Elyas to see his wife like that. But if he obeyed his wife's will, and bought all that food, it would surely be repulsed.

“ You see them ? “ point Elyas to some street children when the car they are riding in stops at a red light.

Selsa looked to the side. He saw 3 street children who were less than ten years old, with clothes that were so shabby, thin and dry, bushy.

“ They are still small, but already have to feel the cruelty of the world. It should be at their age, they are still playing, going to school. Without thinking about how to make money to eat them. And look at them. They're doing. Busying on the streets like that just to earn some meager money to buy food. Even I am also sure, sometimes they also have to hold hunger all day when they do not get money. “ continued Elyas.

Selsa shed her tears at Elyas's words while staring at the – children of the street.

“ Hey, don't cry. “ Elyas holds the back of Selsa's hand when he hears a noise.

Selsa. A few drops of tears dripped down her cheeks.

“ Fasting can't cry. “ Elyas extended his left hand to wipe away Selsa's tears with his index finger.

“ Ah. “ Selsa immediately wiped her tears. “ Afterwards I was sad to see them. “ he continued.

“ It turns out there is a life like theirs out there. Honestly, I've never seen them. It never occurred to them if they existed. “ he continued in a soft tone of voice and lowered his head.

Elyas again extended his hand to caress Selsa's head. Elyas now interacts more often with Selsa. Touching it, looking at it. It's getting used to Elyas doing. He no longer felt so sad.

The first thing he did to the opposite sex. And that's just Selsa. Elyas still did not understand why. Or to be sure, he had yet to realize something that was present in his heart.

“ Can we pull over there for a minute ? “ asked Selsa turned her head towards Elyas and her index finger pointed towards the street child.

Elyas pulled over the car he was driving near the street child – was sitting on the sidewalk.

“ Mas Elyas here. Let me go down by myself. “ Selsa said as she turned to Elyas with her hand holding the door handle. Elyas nodded and let his wife do what she wanted. Elyas just watched it from inside the car.

Seen from both eyes of Elyas, his wife was crouching before the three children and chatting with them. Sometimes, he saw the wife also smiled while rubbing the head of the – street children. Then the wife is seen opening her bag, picking up her wallet, and handing over some red money and giving it to the – kid.

And look, the face of the – children of the street became cheerful. They even hugged Selsa tightly. And Selsa received the hug while smiling warmly.

The smile spread to Elyas' lips. Smiling at the attitude of his wife. The new thing that Elyas found in his wife. It turns out that the wife does not feel disgusted or uncomfortable when embraced by the child – the child. Though the child – the child looks seedy.

“ Already ? “ asked Elyas when Selsa was in the car.

Selsa nodded with a smile. Elyas then runs his car. As the car began to run, Selsa lowered her window, and saw the three children waving their hands to Selsa. Elyas looked at me with a smile. His heart arrived – arrived warmed.

“ You don't feel disgusted when in their hug ? “ asked Elyas after the car walked away from the three children.

“ No. Why should I be disgusted ? Are they not the same as us ? Human ? God's Creature. “ Selsa replied while shaking her head.

Elyas nodded and smiled with a fixed forward look. “ What were you guys talking about earlier ? “ askanya back.

“ Mmmm …. I just asked where they live and if they still have parents what not. “ Selsa replied. “ Turns out they don't have a home. They live under a bridge in area X. And not just them. There are still a few more kids. They are the same – looking for money, then after collecting, they will count it as one, and they buy enough food and they eat together – the same. “ he continued.

Elyas mangosteen – mangosteen. “ Then, did any adults tell them to busking like that ? “

“ No. I asked him, he said it was his own initiative. There are also those who sell newspapers and magazines. There were two adults living with them. And the two men also worked as scavengers. Ah, pity them mas. “ replied Selsa.

“ Earlier I promised them I would visit them to their place of residence. “. “ Do you want me to take you there ? “ asked while looking towards Elyas.

Elyas turned his head for a while and smiled, then nodded. “ In syaa allah. “ the answer. And Selsa smiled hearing that.

His heart is so noble. Inner Elyas.

“ So now, what are we going to buy ? Paddock rice, sushi, beefy chicken, ice boba, young coconut ice ? “ ask Elyas.

“ Ngeledek yes ? “ sumpang Selsa.

Elyas smiled. “ No. I'm just asking. So you bought it all, or changed your mind ? “ said.

“ Umi likes nasi padang no ? “ ask Selsa.

“ Like. He is not a picky eater. “ replied Elyas.

“ If you, like nasi padang ? “ ask Selsa again.

“ I'm the same. Whatever the food, as long as it is halal, surely I eat. “ replied Elyas.

“ Okay. Means we buy rice paddocks with young coconut ice only. “ said Selsa with a girang face.
