My boss turned out to be my Background Dad
Chapter 5's
...Ayu and Siska who attended the morning lecture, then chose to sit in the back row....
...Looking at the teacher who was not paying much attention to this side, Siska spoke to Ayu who was taking notes beside her. ...
..."After this you'll go to work?"...
...Ayu stopped her hand that was taking notes. Ayu just remembered that today she had a day off from work....
...The owner of the minimarket sent him a message this morning, if the minimarket is being repaired and Ayu was given a day off. Therefore, Ayu planned to visit her mother in the hospital today. Ayu had not had time to tell Siska about it....
..."I'm off today, Sis. Because the minimarket is being renovated," said Ayu....
...Siska on the other hand was surprised, "Really!" Then I asked, "Then, what are you going to do after this?"...
..."Today I plan to visit my mother in the hospital. It's been three days since I last saw him. I don't know how she is right now. No one's keeping him there, making me worry."...
..."Why are you saying it now?!" Siska frowning....
...Though he also wants to visit aunt Sari, but Siska has already promised to go on a date with her lover today. They rarely meet because of college at different campuses, Siska is not up to heart if you have to cancel an appointment....
...Hearing Siska's complaint, Ayu was also helpless. He only suddenly thought of visiting his mother, because today Ayu has free time. He forgot to tell Siska....
..."Sorry, Sis. I've just been thinking about it now. How about we go visit my mom?" bring Ayu....
..."I also want to visit Aunt Sari with you, but today I have an appointment with Reza." Siska said with regret....
..."Doesn't matter. Then, we can go together next time." Ayu said, comforting Siska....
..."All righty! Say hello to your mother, yes. I hope he recovers soon" said Siska....
...Ayu nodded, wanting to say thank you, the lecturer who explained in front did not know when to pay attention to them and immediately reprimanded....
..."You two! Get out of my class if you still want to keep chatting!"...
...Ayu and Siska immediately stopped talking, refocused on hearing the lecture....
...After class, Ayu said goodbye to Siska and went to the gate of the campus, because he had ordered an ojek online....
...About ten minutes Ayu waited, the taxi she ordered finally came, ready to take her to the hospital....
...Ayu can't wait to see her mother....
...After arriving at the door of the hospital building, Ayu walked in, towards her mother's ward....
...Just as Ayu opened the door, she saw her mother leaning on the hospital bed, staring at the ring pendant hanging around her neck for years....
...The ring was a wedding ring given to her by her father. Her mother would look at the ring whenever she missed her father....
...Ayu walked slowly to her mother. ...
..."Ma!" call Ayu....
...Hapsari awakens from memory upon hearing a call from her daughter. Soon she kept her ring pendant back behind the hospital gown she was wearing. Looking up and looking at his new daughter, Hapsari smiled happily. ...
..."Son! You're here!"...
...Ayu nodded, returning her mother's smile....
...Ayu did not ask what her mother had done, pretending not to have seen the incident just now....
...Ayu just focused on seeing how her mother is now....
...Despite still looking pale and weak, her mother's state looked slightly better than the last time she came. Ayu felt relieved as well as grateful. She hugged her mother. ...
..."I miss you so much, Mom! It's good to see you're okay."...
...Hapsari patted his daughter's back. With a smile she said, "Mom misses you too. How are you doing, son? I'm worried that you're also going to get sick from being too tired to work, having to go to college and now having to go back and forth to the hospital to visit mom too."...
...Ayu immediately let go of her embrace and sat on the side, looking at her mother solemnly. ...
..."I'm fine, Mom! There's nothing to worry about. You just have to focus on your health. Don't mind too much, it will only worsen the condition of the mother."...
...Sensing the attention of his daughter, Hapsari was deeply moved....
...His daughter was a loving child from childhood. Never want to worry anyone else. Care about those closest to him....
...Such a daughter, Hapsari is very proud to have her. ...
...Unfortunately, her husband never felt the affection of their daughter....
...Where exactly are you, Mom!...
...Until now she still does not want to believe that her husband is dead....
...When police told her 20 years ago, the car her husband was driving in fell into a ravine. Hapsari did not want to believe because she had not seen her husband's body....
...Until the police stop the search. Sari still considers her husband alive and continues to search for him for twenty years....
...Sometimes Hapsari thinks he should just give up and focus on taking care of his daughter. But this heart still remained unreconciled. Seeing his daughter having to grow up without the figure of a father, made his heart break into pieces at any moment....
...At least she wanted to see it for herself that her husband was really gone....
..."Mommy!" ...
...Ayu called back her mother who was currently overwhelmed with sadness. He asked, "What's wrong? Why does my face look so moody? Did Ayu say something that made mom sad?"...
...Ayu was instantly silent. She didn't think her mother would say that....
...Ayu herself does not know how she feels about her biological father that she has never seen. From the time Ayu was little and knew that every child should have a father, she began to ask her mother where her father was....
...Ayu still remembered how her mother's expression back then, was full of sadness and helplessness. Mom just said that her dad disappeared....
...Ayu doesn't know how her father disappeared, I don't want to tell her why. When Ayu grew up, she finally found out that her father had died in a car accident that entered the ravine, but her body was still not found. ...
...When everyone said that his father was dead. Only his mother would not accept, assuming his father was only missing but not dead....
...Ayu doesn't know if her father is alive, or dead. She just doesn't want her mother to constantly search for her father and live with false hopes. Twenty years have passed, Ayu hope her mother gives up. He is also an adult, Ayu no longer needs the figure of a father or affection from him, which he longed for so much....
..."Why do you still think about that man! Mother, Awake! Father died long ago." ...
...Ayu couldn't help it anymore, telling her what she was really thinking....
...Hapsari immediately broke it....
..."No, Son! Your father is not dead. I'm sure your father is still alive! She... she may be living somewhere..-" ...
...Being too excited, Hapsari coughed after finishing her speech....
...Ayu quickly stood up pouring drinking water, giving it to her mother. He regretted that he had told his mother that he was now sick, unable to accept excessive stimulation....
..."Forgive Ayu, Mom! Ayu Salah, Ayu shouldn't have said that. I don't have to think about what Ayu said earlier." ...
...Ayu rubbed her mother's back for the better, her face filled with regret....
..."Let's get a doctor first!" Ayu prepares to come out but her hand is held back by her mother....
...Hapsari said, "No need, son. Mom's been better."...
..."Is it true that you're okay?" Ayu is still a little agitated....
...Hapsari nodded, telling Ayu to sit back down. He clasped his daughter's hand and spoke softly....
... "Mom doesn't blame you. It's not your fault if you think your father is dead. You never met your father or knew him. But I know what kind of person your father is. He is a man who will always keep his word. Before leaving and the accident happened, your father promised to return safely, he was eager to see his unborn daughter."...
...Hapsari looked at her daughter with seriousness....
..."So, Son! You can't assume your father is dead. He is always waiting for you to come into this world. For you, your father would never leave without saying goodbye."...
...Ayu did not know how to describe her current mood, but heard what her mother said, without feeling her tears had been flooded....
...During this time Ayu considers her father is the cause of her mother can not live quietly, she even hopes that her mother soon forget her father, so that they no longer live in the shadow of her father. However, the person who had been wanting Ayu to lose, was expecting her presence. Ayu felt like she had become an ungodly child....
..."Mother... does it still have a photo of father?" tanya Ayu bowed....
...Hapsari was happy because her daughter was willing to ask her something about her father, because Ayu had always cared not if it was about her father. But Sari could not answer him, when Ayu asked about her father's photo....
...Everything was burned down with their original home in the village....
..."There's nothing left. All your father's photos are burned." Hapsari could only say with a heavy heart....
...Ayu was surprised and unexpected. "It's burning, Mom! But, when..-"...
...Ayu then remembered the reason they had moved to the city, not only to find her father, but also because their house in the village had burned down. At that time his mother and Ayu were not home, they did not have time to save any property....
...Deserve Ayu never saw her mother take out a picture of her father and just looked at the wedding ring. It turns out that's all that's left....
..."Yes, I did, Mom. It's okay if the picture doesn't exist, Ayu just ask for it." Ayu did not want to see her mother become sad and disappointed....
...Ayu look at the clock. It's lunchtime soon. Ayu asked her mother, intending to shift the topic....
..."Mom, does anyone want you to eat? Will Ayu buy it?"...
...Hapsari stopped thinking about the photo issue, answering his now attentive daughter....
..."I don't want to eat anything, you just buy it for yourself."...
..."How can you not eat, you will get sick later." Ayu certainly disagrees....
..."Later there will also be a nurse who deliver the mother food, the mother will eat it."...
...Hapsari doesn't want his son to waste money. He knew how tired his daughter was working to make money. Not to mention the hospital fees. Although he did not know how much, but the cost must have been very expensive. Hapsari did not want to continue to burden her daughter....
...How could Ayu not understand her mother's thoughts. During this time Ayu works and makes money only for her mother, so that all her mother's needs are met. If food alone he could not afford, for what Ayu worked so hard....
..."Even if the mother refuses, Ayu will still buy the mother food."...
...Ayu immediately went out after saying that, not giving her mother time to refuse....
...Hapsari only felt helpless with her daughter's behavior, but her face was filled with smiles....
...Who doesn't like having a filial child....
...Ayu bought food in the hospital canteen, because the food here is said to be delicious and also quite healthy. After that, Ayu went out of the hospital for a while to buy fruit and daily necessities for her mother. He returned after half an hour of shopping....
...Ayu then eats together with her mother, chatting about her daily life and her activities on campus. Ayu certainly only told me about something fun that she experienced, while unpleasant, her mother did not need to know....
...It doesn't feel like it's afternoon. Seeing her mother who had fallen asleep in the hospital bed, Ayu confirmed her blanket before leaving....
...There is still time before his working hours at the gas station, Ayu intends to return to the dormitory to take a shower and prepare....
