My Father is Not a Criminal

The Part 31

Rika starts working at Dika's home as a baby sitter for Tasya. Winda was quite satisfied with Rika's work, the woman was very painstaking and attentive to Tasya. Although she has never had children, Rika can take good care of Tasya, until the two get closer.

"Tante Rica's his wife Om Sueb right?" ask Tasya.

"Well, why, huh?"

"Tasya kangen the same Om Sueb, has not come to Papa's workshop for a long time, it's Tasya so lonely."

Tasya looked sad, it seemed like the little girl missed Sueb a lot. Sueb is a humorous person, very fond of Tasya as well, probably because Sueb also misses a child present in his household.

Rika and Sueb were married for almost eight years, but did not have a baby. Rika accidentally took a pregnancy-delaying drug without knowing her husband. Rika does not want her good body shape to change, because of giving birth.

"Om Sueb isn't here, honey. She works in a faraway place, so can't come here to play with Tasya."

"When's home, Auntie?"

"Later, honey, if Sueb gets a lot of money. Will definitely bring souvenirs for Tasya also you know."

"Well, cool then, surely Tasya will be brought by a polar bear doll, first Om Sueb has promised."

"What promise?"

"If you already have a lot of money, Om Sueb promises to buy Tasya a big polar bear."

Rika smiled at Tasya's answer, because actually Rika has special intentions for the Dika family. It seemed, Tasya could use it to achieve that goal.

"Yes, later Aunt Rika will tell Om Sueb yes, so as not to forget to buy a doll for Tasya."

"Thank you, Aunt Rika."

Tasya immediately hugged Rika with a happy smile, Rika also hugged Tasya back with a smile, a sneaky smile.

Elsewhere, Bu Bakir who decided not to return to work in Jakarta, tried to connect his life by opening a small rice stall in front of the house. Originally the stall was deserted, only one two neighbors bought in the place. Many people become reluctant to buy at the shop of the prisoner's wife, so their reasons.

Over time, the stall began to rame, because the thoughts of the citizens began to change. "The prisoner is her husband, and he is dead. His wife, son and father-in-law are not prisoners, but are famous as good people, who do not hesitate to give help," so most people say.

Because of the crowded stalls, Nabila's grandparents helped. Grandma was in charge of making drinks, while Grandpa was in charge of delivering them to buyers. If anyone asks for a delivery, Grandpa is ready with his bike.

"Mr not tired, forced to help Nur in the stall?" ask Bu Bakir.

"No, Nur. Precisely Mr tuh happy, so there are activities, not just sitting around and sleeping."

"If you're tired, say yes, sir! Later Nur will order ojol aja for inter delivery. Nur does not want, you get sick because you are tired."

"And I sent a very close order, Nduk. If you are far away, you can wear ojol. But, what's wrong with that?"

Grandfather sighed, as he recalled the fateful fate that befell his son-in-law. His intention was only to help the victim begal, even accused of being a suspect, even to death in prison.

"Your neighbor, you've never been here, have you?"

"Well, sir. It has been found out, if Kang Bakir was just covering up his fault. Fortunately, I didn't report it to the police."

"Rules you report there, Ndhuk! Let him get the reward for what he did."

"Nur has no proof, sir, just heard the story from Kang Bakir. So let God give him punishment. Like his friend who died in that accident. Nur sure really, sir, all actions will get a proper reply. What people sow, will surely be harvested."

"Father happy, Nur, you have the principle of kayak like that, legowo and do not hold a grudge. Storing bitter roots, or resentment, will do us harm, Nur. It will be an obstacle for us to rise up, because hatred will only make us think of revenge."

"Yes, Sir. Nur also understands--"

"Oh, you two are here tho it turns out. That's you know, in the stalls of many buyers, Grandma to be overwhelmed, you guys even feel good talking here," Granny grumbled.

Bu Bakir rushed to the stall, he did not want his customers to wait too long, while Grandpa just grinned, heard his wife's nagging.

Back at school, Nabila always helped his mother in the stall, so that his grandparents could rest. They are both old, not good at working too hard, afraid of getting sick.

"Where in school, Ndhuk?" ask Bu Bakir when Nabila helps at the stall.

"Yes still like yesterday, Mom, it hasn't changed" replied Nabila, smiling.

Bu Bakir sighed, unable to hear his son who always received less pleasant treatment due to his father was an inmate.

"You are patient, Ndhuk! All trials will not exceed our strength. There is a time to cry, a time to smile, a time to laugh. Just look at Mother's shop, you know yourself, initially it was also quiet, now it can be this crowded. People have ignored your father's story of an inmate."

"Yes, Mom. Nabila also did not think about it. Nabila is used to not having many friends, from the first time it was so. The important thing is still Dessy, Nabila's best friend, who is always there and supports Nabila. Thankful for having a friend as good as him."

"It's good that you can be mature, Ndhuk. Not getting lost in grief because of your father. I am sure that God will repay those who used your father. That's the one that got a reply, right? Just one more, just wait a minute."

"Yes, Mom. God will fight for us, and we will be silent, just to see them get their reward."

Bu Bakir patted his son's shoulder slowly, feeling that his son can be legowo and mature in the face of all the trials that befell their family. Nabila also still excels at school, despite the many problems that must be faced by his family.

"When, get Dessy to play here, Ndhuk! I miss him so much, I haven't seen him in a long time."

"It looks like mah, later if the holidays, he also plans to stay at our house really, Mom. His mother was busy working so the boy was often lonely at home. Can you, Mom?"

"Obviously dong, I'm happy. Now, you want anterin pesenan Bu RT right?"

Nabila nodded, and prepared to deliver his mother's food customer's order on his mini bike.
