Mr. Zayn
New Job
On his bed Leha lay with eyes staring at the ceiling of the room. From his eyes, it could be seen that his mind was being carried away somewhere.
"Well, Leha kangen mamah." she then lowered her eyelids preparing to sleep.

"My hard left a little more" lamented Leha looked at the little remaining rice storage.
Leha put down her rice cooker and walked over to the nightstand, opening the bottom drawer to pick up a loaf of bread there.
Leha gnashed her eyes, reading the ex date of the bread packaging.

"This is a thank you" he said looking at the remaining jam a little.
Leha then put the jam on the bread with a face that smiled wryly.
I don't know if it's a happy smile or not. But, Leha's smile was so sad.

"Mah Leha laper "Leha broke her tiny belly and looked up at Minah who had just returned home *from the neighboring stall.
Though at that time Minah promised Leha that she would bring food, but unfortunately the stall owner did not want to give a bon*.
Both of Minah's eyebrows decreased, "Mamah did not bring food dear" he said, after adjusting the height of Leha who was then 6 years old.
Minah rubbed Leha's head slowly. Her heart ached to see her only daughter moaning in hunger. While her husband Bram, the man has not come home until now.
"Then what do we eat, Mah? " ask plain Leha.
Minah was stunned for a while, then got up from her position walking towards the kitchen looking for something to eat.

"Orange? Mammy? " tanya Leha, he refused to taste when he ate the fruit himself.

"Leha does not want to eat if you do not eat "knot Leha peel the orange peel, then give some fruit seeds for Minah.
"Eat yes, Mah" said Leha, inserting an orange into Minah's dry mouth.

Kaula nodded with a hand that tightly hugged the tray. "Already sir, but like Mr. Zayn was looking glum."
"Baby? "
"Yes, maybe Mr. Zayn has a problem "said Kaula sure. For almost two years Kaula has been working in the home of the magnificent Zayn house, where perhaps she does not recognize its magical properties.
And, when Zayn was having a problem. He will not touch the tea that has been brewed for him.
"You're right." Arga sipped his tea and left the garden.
He felt something strange about Zayn when he picked up his friend on the road yesterday.

"Sorry, it's full" said the bookstore owner.
There were already 3 shops that Leha visited today, but none of them received them. Leha continued to walk without direction, until Leha arrived in front of the bus stop. He immediately sat there, on a long bench stop.
"Where should I go? " murmured Leha held onto her tired knees.
