My dear Siomay

I'm not alone

"Where have you been?", I was curious about Edo.

"I survived on the streets, and was eventually saved by a thug, he took care of me and made me like this" Edo said.

"Sister, why didn't you come home?we miss Big Brother a lot", Rina asked.

"Sister, want to go home after being a successful person, this is all for the mother, but.", Do cried.

"We looked for Brother where", Rina while crying.

"Then you go with Brother!", Edo invites all his sisters.

"What do you mean, Edo?", I disagree.

"Vincenzo!", he mentioned his new name.

"Vikanto", I'm trying to call that new name.

"Vincenzo!", he repeated.

"Vikaau!ah, no matter what your name is, I don't agree!".

"I've become rich, they don't have to work in a place like this, waste time, if they come with me, they just go to school and relax without suffering anymore!", Edo felt arrogant.

"Edo, do you have a heart for your brother?, I do not believe.

"I told you Edo is no more in this world, my name is Vincenzo, stop calling me Edo!".

"You've changed, Vi...Vi...Vikaso!", I painstakingly mentioned the new name.

"Calling my name is difficult, let alone make them happy, if you want to suffer do not bring them!", Edo is more arrogant.

"Sir, we want to be with Isna!!!", Erna refused to come along.

"Well, you go with Brother, agree or not, you'll be happy with your brother, Vincenzo, without thinking about money!take them to the car", Edo aka Vincenzo told his goons to bring my sister.

Tio stopped Edo.

"Who are you?I have nothing to do with you!", Edo put Tio's body away until he fell.

"You want to be a cruel brother and sister?", Tio asked Edo.

"You know what about me, get out of here!", Do in a rising voice.

The thugs who were Edo's men immediately held Tio to the point of not picking.

"Mom wouldn't be happy to know you're doing this" I warned Edo.

"Mother is gone, I want to be a good sister to my sister, so Sister Isna don't get in the way, and I won't ask for money for security if Sister Isna lets me take them".

Erna, Ridho and Rina rebelled, but could not, the thugs were indeed powerful so they could not escape.

"Please, don't take them, Sister Isna will be alone, they are friends and encouragement Brother, please don't!", I beg Edo to have mercy.

"I want Sister Isna to feel how she feels alone!", Edo without a smile.

"So, are you still angry with Brother?then forgive Brother Isna, do not take them!", I continue to beg.

"I'm still angry with Brother, because of the slap, so don't keep begging, I won't care".

I took a breath, if no one gave up there would be no end.

"Well, I'll let you go, take good care of your sister, if until they're treated badly, I won't let you go!", I relented, to win.

Edo aka Vincenzo immediately went and disappeared. We're both left, me and Tio. While looking at the flower, I thought about what was going on.

"Isna, are you okay?", Tio was worried about me.

"You can borrow my shoulder!", Rio pity seeing me alone.

"Not muhrim", I'm expressionless.

"Makanya, so as to be halal, will you marry me?", Rio was determined to propose at a time like this.

I cried while laughing, and kept shedding tears, like a madman, I laughed and cried at the same time.

"In order for you not to be alone and have friends, I will always be by your side in distress and pleasure" Tio said seriously.

I don't care what Tio said, my mind is still branched. Too many things I think. I have not dared to answer, Tio has indeed proven his words with always there whenever I need. While everyone was in disbelief including Mas Zein, Tio was present as my protector. I could only duck while sitting on the cold floor, the silent witness of the farewell between me and my sister's sister. I don't know if Edo will let me if I want to see them?otherwise, I regret giving up so easily.

"Isna, I'm sorry if I make you so dizzy, I save the words later at the right time, I'll wait for your answer, we're sitting in a chair!",Tio noticed the coldness of the floor I was sitting on.

He pushed me to the chair.

"Isna, I will help you, if I can give all my people to help you, don't worry, I will always be by your side!", Tio assured me that I still have friends who will help.

Suddenly a mother came carrying her child.

"Is there siomay?", the mother asked .

"I'm sorry, Mom, we seem to......."Tio wanted to refuse the order.

"So, Mom, while I'm ready first, maybe a little longer, okay?", I wiped the tears and widened the smile on my face.

"It's okay, I wait, from yesterday I want to buy siomay here, but the hunt runs out!", the mother told me.

Yes, this is what I have to fight for as well, the customers in "My dear Siomay", they also deserve good siomay and it is my responsibility as a siomayer who also needs them. I must not give up just like that, this must be a tool to spur my spirit to continue to flare up and become a strong person. 'Excitement to myself!!!', I cheered inwardly for myself.

Seeing my spirit grow, Tiopun immediately helped, by tidying up the chair that had been messy, as well as tidying up the flowers scattered throughout the store. She must have asked in her heart about the sender of all those flowers and the birthday wishes.

"Isna, can I drop this birthday wish and keep the flowers in the back?", Tio asked for my permission. I'm nodding.

"Thank you Tio, thank you for everything!", I said solemnly.

The customers at 'Siomayku Darling', began to arrive one by one, they continued to wait even though the order was a bit faltered because we were just the two of us. Tio still took the time to continue to accompany and help me in between his busy life. There's a lot of things he's sacrificed for me, I just realized how valuable he is. Should I answer 'yes' to the question?.

Once the customer is not too much, I make him some sweet tea.

"Tio, drink it while it's warm!", I'm giving you the drink I just made.

"Oh, tumben, is this the green light for me?", Tio bluntly.

"You don't get excited, I just feel sorry to see you haven't been drinking before" I hid my feelings.

"Oh, so it is", Tio seemed to understand.

He immediately drank the sweet tea I made.

"This tea tastes sweet, especially after seeing you Isna, so much sweeter", Tio tried to hide in front of me.

"Ah, you're more!", take me to throw the cloth. But instead the cloth made the glass Tio was holding fall down and the water spilled onto his shirt.

"Oh, hot!!", Tio in pain.

"Oh, excuse me!!", I immediately picked up another cloth to wipe his wet clothes. I didn't realize that Tio was watching me. When I realized, I immediately stopped. My heart is beating so fast.

"Here you wipe it!", I give the cloth to his hand immediately and act awkwardly.

"You should have wiped it, you caused my clothes to get wet, dong's responsibility!", Tio looked annoyed.

I immediately went to the front room, and the temple was busy on its own. I held onto my chest that felt like it was going to explode. I don't know if this is love?my heart still has not given Tio the freedom to have my heart, because there are many things that prevent me from liking her, including her parents.
