My dear Siomay

The missing child's home

"This guy keeps asking for wild levies, I'm upset, I told you my trades haven't been sold yet, but he still doesn't understand, even spoiling my merchandise", that guy with emotion.

"I'm sorry, Mas, if my brother did anything bad, but please don't beat him again, my brother has already been battered, he has already got his reward. So may we make peace?", I speak with the heart.

"I would like to make peace, since he paid the loss for my damaged goods, how?", the man made a condition.

"I want to pay the loss, because Mas wants to return my sister's face as before, how?", I don't want to give up so easily.

"You've turned it around again, I've lost a lot, my things are broken so can't sell", the man was upset.

"Mas also saw my sister's broken face, I had to spend a lot of money to fix it" I said, revealing Edo's face.

"But he who began to spoil my goods first" the man snapped.

"Well, then we go to the police, let the problem be solved".

The face of that person who was an emotion seemed to start being frightened. He's probably afraid the police will arrest him for being a vigilante.

"Yes, but if he does the same thing again in this area, I'll go straight to the police, let's go to jail" the man reminded.

The man finally leaves with a sense of annoyance because what he wants is not achieved.Ridho and Rina immediately help Edo to get up and break it. He looks helpless. We took him into the store.

"Edo, why did you become like this?", An aunt with a sad look on her face.

Edo did not answer, his body was helpless.

"We'll just take Edo to the hospital!", I said.

"Yes, Brother Edo's body is very weak" Erna added.

"Sir Isna and Bibi are going to the hospital, you and Ridho are looking after the store while it is in order!", I said to Erna.

"Yes, Brother!", Erna and Ridho replied while nodding.

We did our job as I said. Me and Auntie drove Edo to the hospital. Once there we went straight to the IGD. Edo was immediately treated by a doctor. After finishing up on the IGD, Edo was moved to a regular room.

"Isna, let Auntie take care of Edo here, you just go to the tavern to help Erna and Ridho" Bibi said.

"Auntie's okay standing guard alone?", I'm a little worried.

"It's okay, you'll be here tonight for your turn to stand guard".

"Yes, then Isna to the store first yes, Bi!", I said goodbye to Auntie while I saw Edo who was still asleep.

"Yes".

I immediately went out and went back to the store. In the shop Erna and Ridho are still seen cleaning up the rest of the items that are still messy. I immediately helped get our work done. To be more enthusiastic, I warm siomay as well as peanut seasoning that I brought from home for us to eat after finishing tidying things.

"How is Edo's brother, sister?", Erna asked on his job.

"Edo was still sleeping when Brother left the hospital. The doctor said it's okay, just a bruise".

"Alhamdulillah if Brother Edo is okay", Ridho joined the chat.

It doesn't feel like our job is done. The shop is ready to be used for selling. The Siomay that I had warmed was already available at the table for us to enjoy, as the sweat we were paying. When we were about to eat siomay, there was a sound from outside.

"Assalamu'alaikum!".

"Wa'alaikum greetings!", we all replied. I'll see you out soon. It turns out that Mas Zein and his son.

"The time is right, so we go inside, Siomay is waiting" I smiled.

"Well, will you eat right away?", Mas Zein was embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's good, Mas Zein came at the right time", as I opened the chair for such an adorable little boy. I greet that handsome boy who looks like his father.

"Whose name?", I greeted the boy with a smile.

"Fathan", the boy immediately replied.

"Fathan want siomay?", I'll show you Siomay who was stabbed by a fork.

"You", Jonathan nodded.

"Why did you guys move from where you used to be?", Mas Zein asked.

"Oh, the owner of the place didn't want to extend the contract with us, so we had to move", I didn't tell him everything because I didn't want to talk much about Tio's parents.

"Keep, know of any good places here from whom?", Mas Zein again asked.

"We won the race that awarded this place".

"Well, lucky enough, this place is indeed suitable for gifts, very good".

"I didn't expect to get first place either".

"Take the Siomay, sir, then go cold!"Erna reminded.

"Oh, yeah", Mas Zein took one mouthful of siomay.

Fathan thrust a fork at me and said, "you want agi".

Immediately I get Siomay who is right in front of me. Without asking, Fathan wants to sit on my lap. Zein felt strange.

"Usually Fathan is not easily familiar with someone".

"Oh, it means that Brother is lucky to be close to the handsome Dede Fathan", I respond with happiness.

From then on Fathan just wanted to be in my arms.

We also dissolved in a chat full of warmth, accompanied by a delicious warm siomay.

Malampun. Everyone will leave the store. When I told you about Edo and the plan to visit him, Mas Zein offered to take us. We are happy to agree. While in the car, Jonathan was so sticky to me, that he would not escape my arms.

When he arrived at the hospital, Edo seemed conscious. He's eating.

"Sir Edo, eat a lot, let's get well quickly!", said Erna.

"Yes, let's play a game together" Ridho said.

"I'm sorry, I'm just troubling you", Edo answered while keeping an empty plate.

"How about you help Brother and leave your job?", I gave you an idea.

"Yes, that's a brilliant idea", Erna seemed to agree.

"But.", Edo looked doubtful.

"But why?you want something like this to happen again?your brother and sister are also very worried if you are still friends with the thugs, especially the money you take is the money of the poor people just like us and it is not halal money. You want to feed your sister with some ill-gotten money?".

"I want to stop, but they won't let me get away with it, let alone the big boss ".

"Then deliver Brother to your big boss, let brother say it".

"Don't, the big boss is so mean, let me talk later".

"So you agreed to help?".

"Yes, I'll try".

"Well, that's great" Auntie responded.

"If you want, where I can too", Mas Zein offers.

"Thank you everyone, I'm so happy that you guys love me so much" Tio said.

"This is what family is for, will support and love you no matter what your circumstances" I told Edo.

We embraced, four brothers of the same flesh and blood.

Thankfully, Edo is finally back with us. The lost child will now go home. May Edo be a better person.

Ridho volunteered to look after Edo tonight, maybe Edo could go home tomorrow, because the situation is not too bad.

When I was going home, Fathan was already asleep in my lap. Several times Mas Zein asked Fathan to be carried by him, but the little boy did not flinch and preferred to stay with me. Why did he choose me?we met twice.
