Ningrum still looks busy with the flour dough in the mixer container. He had just completed several tens of cup cakes that he would share with the orphanage which became one where he set aside a little of his property to help the disadvantaged children.
Luccy approached him and brought an empty basket to Ningrum. "Gee.. Lots of cup cake, Ma," he asked curiously.
Ningrum turned his head for a moment, with a faint smile. "Try on tasting, how it feels," pinta Ningrum as she poured the dough into the cup.
Luccy nodded his head, grabbing a cup of fla chocolate-coated cake that was certainly well-liked by the kids.
The little girl closed her eyes, as a cake with a soft texture and a smoother brown came into contact with her tongue. "Emmm... It's really good, Ma..!" praise Luccy with great intention. She fell in love with Luccy the first time she made a cake for him on his birthday.
"really?" ningrum's face sparkled when he heard the praise from his little girl.
"Yes, Ma.. It's really delicious.!" Luccy again convinced Ningrum with how he felt.
Then the woman smiled, while continuing her work waiting for the cup cake grill that will soon be ripe.
"Come on, help mama get this cake in the basket!" pinta Ningrum to Luccy.
The girl nodded her head and helped to arrange the cup cake excitedly.
"Where are you going to take this cup1 cake, Ma?" ask again.
"So you'll know too!" replied Ningrum who seemed to give a riddle to Luccy that made the curiosity even stronger.
Luccy was singing her lips, for she had to second-guess what Ningrum was hiding from her.
While both are still silent in guessing, a timer sound from the open sounds, which indicates if the cup cake is ripe.
Ningrum stopped his work. "You go on, baby. Mama wants to see that cake in the oven," Ningrum told her little girl.
Luccy deftly and deftly inserted all the cup cake ordered by his mother.
During his time with Ningrum, he grew accustomed to helping his mother's work, although during his life with his father he was a child who never understood anything, but he never understood anything, because everything is done by household assistants and gardeners.
But he did not complain, and tried to take a stab at everything Ningrum ordered, because he felt that someday it would all be useful to him.
Even back then Ningrum asked her to cook rice in magic com and make egg omelets. Slowly he began to know how to use kitchen utensils and also make up.
Who would have thought if she was that small, she was already good at cooking and sometimes secretly tried to make up her face by remembering the various makeup tools that Ningrum often used when decorating the bride.

Ningrum drove his car through the streets of the city. He headed to an orphanage that was inhabited by many abandoned toddlers and sometimes deliberately discarded by his parents.
Luccy did not dare to ask Ningrum again, because the woman had looked very tired since then, and he had also been told there would be a surprise for him.
When Ningrum pulled over his car in a simple building courtyard, it appeared written on a sign located above the building's ridge 'Pantai Kasih Bunda'.
Luccy frowned. He still did not dare to ask and was still guessing.
"Come, Honey.. We have arrived" Ningrum said, stepping out of the car.
Luccy followed him, and Ningrum took out a basket filled with cup cake and handed it to Luccy to be taken into the parlour. While he brought some groceries and snacks that he bought in the minimarket, because the children were basically hooked snacks.
Luccy carried the basket despite a bit of fatigue, but he still carried it with joy, because at this time only Ningrum was the place to ask for affection, after his parents were no longer with him.
both were welcomed by the owner of the parlor with great joy. As Luccy and Ningrum entered the room, there was a boisterous sound from the toddler. Laughter, crying and jokes too. Everything becomes one. So it seems that the caretakers bother to care for them.
Luccy was stunned by what he saw. He saw a two-year-old baby crying for milk, and also fighting each other.
He was still confused by what he saw. Actually it was whose children and those in the tens were in one room and supervised by two people only.
"Come, Honey.. We share this cup cake and snack with them. One person gets 1 cup cake, one milk box, and one pack of snacks, not less and not more, must be fair and even." said Ningrum.
Luccy nodded his head, although there were still many questions he had been struggling with, but he still kept them for later when they came home.
There are cheerful faces of the residents of the orphanage when receiving gifts from them, and the rest they leave to the owner of the parlor to be distributed in the next hour.
When they finished, the two said goodbye to the owner of the parlour, and it appeared Ningrum gave a brown envelope, which Luccy believed was money to the caretaker.
The two said goodbye, hearing the laughter of the children of the home. The two-year-old baby, who was crying, is now laughing while sipping instant liquid milk in a medium-sized box.
Luccy felt his heart full at the sight, though he was still very small, but he could already understand, if they were in dire need of food and snacks.
After the two were in the car, Luccy tried to question Ningrum about everything. He was very curious about who the children were.
"Ma.. Who are those kids?" ask Luccy.
"They were abandoned children who were deliberately dumped by both parents because they did not want it" Ningrum replied.
Luccy was stunned to hear the narration from Ningrum. "How can parents abandon those who are so very small?" he worried very much.
"All that matters is that you are safe with your mother, and it is our duty to also give them the little possessions we have, and the Lord will replace them with larger and multiplied ones." ningrum answered trying to explain it to Luccy.
The little Gadia nodded her head in a sign of understanding and understanding what her mother said.
Now they arrived at the salon. The two got down from the car, looking quiet and quiet.
Ningrum felt something very strange and suspicious, what was with his salon, and what was going on?
The woman stretched out one hand to block Luccy's path, she rolled up behind him, because she felt something bad was going on.
"What's up, Ma?" ask Luccy curiously.
Ningrum placed his index finger in front of Luccy's lips, asking the girl to be quiet.
With Ningrum slowly opening the salon door, it did not look like Sary and also the other two employees.
"Where are they?" guan Ningrum in heart. He began to feel anxious and something was not right. Looks like the storefront roof broke apart, it looks like it was kicked by someone.
"Hmm..eeemmmm..!" there was a moaning from the corner of the cashier's drawer table. Ningrum sped up his pace to see what was happening, and..
"Astaghfirullah..!!"
Ningrum gasped in surprise when he saw what happened to Sary and the other two employees.
They were tied up and their mouths in duct tape so as not to shout.
Ningrum's quick snarl opened the duct tape and also the straps on their bodies.
The third breath was wheezing and they were breathing as much oxygen as they could so quickly.
Ningrum took them to sit on the sofa for a waiting place for guests. He gave the opportunity to the three to calm down because they looked very shocked at the event they had just experienced.
After the three of them looked calm, Ningrum started asking them out of a very strong curiosity.
"What's really going on?" asked Ningrum carefully.
"We're the robbery, Mom!" said Sary with a stammer.
Ningrum gasped in shock, he swallowed his saliva, as the news was very shocking to him.
"Cashier money was brought in and cosmetic tools were brought in!" one of the employees chimed in.
Ningrum stared at his employees one by one. Sadness, of course. Because he has to endure the loss. But he must be sincere, because it is all a deposit and he cannot avoid what is destined.
"Yes, the most important thing is that you are not hurt, especially to harm you to something fatal" Ningrum replied.
All three flabbergasted. How could Ningrum have lost so much money and did not seem to report the case to the police.
"We'll just make a report, ma'am!" sary Proposal.
"Yes, Mom.. There's a cctv!" others chimed in.
Ningrum just smiled faintly. "No need. Ribet his business, and it should be like that. If all that is lost is my sustenance, it will return in another form and path!" ningrum hatch.
The three employees looked at each other. They did not believe in the demeanor of their mistress.
"Yes, already.. Clean the broken glass display case, wear gloves do not let your hands hurt, I want to rest in the room." said Ningrum.
all three nodded their heads. Luccy who had been listening to all those conversations followed Ningrum from behind.
Arriving in the room, Ningrum changed his casual clothes and lay on his soft bed.
Luccy approached his mother, still wanting to ask something that had reached his heart.
He sat in front of the bed and looked at the mother who was still playing physel.
"Ma.."
"Yes." replied Ningrum, while scrolling through his phone screen to see the passing upload marked on his social media account.
"Mama just said if we are diligent in giving alms, then God will replace it by multiplying. But why did you lose money at the same time?" asked Luccy curiously.
Ningrum closed his phone screen and looked at Luccy who seemed critical of something that made him so curious.
The woman changed her position, she sat leaning against her bed.
"Come here, come closer to my mom, I'll explain everything."
Luccy obeys his mother's words and approaches the woman.
Ningrum grabbed the little girl's body and put the body on her lap.
"Listen yes, dear.. The treasure we have is a deposit, and if the owner of the property takes it, then we must not be angry if it is taken."
"For example, Luccy's friend nitipin pencils, his promise tomorrow, because he'll be traveling out of town. Therefore, Luccy only as a place of care, and if tomorrow Luccy's friend wants to take it, then inevitably Luccy must return it, even though Luccy likes the deposit. And when you see the goods you take good care of, he has prepared greater gifts to give to you." Ningrum gave an explanation to his little princess with a language that he could easily understand.
Luccy slowly understood with what Ningrum explained. At the same time, Njngrum's phonsel rang, one name 'Andy'.
The man is like a mystery. It came and went as it pleased, undetected.
Ningrum shifted the green button and welcomed the call.
"Yes, Hello." replied Ningrum. His tone was soft, he did not know what to say, because he could not hope for the man, but honestly, the man was the most beautiful ex who ever reigned in his heart.
"Hey.. What's up," a soft voice of shahdu was heard from across there, without a vedeo call. Even to see the man's face alone he couldn't, I don't know what secret he was hiding.
The man repeatedly asked him to come to Borneo and he would marry Ningrum there. Yet somehow Ningrum's steps were so heavy to step on.
"Not so good!" replied Ningrum lirih.
"What happened to you?!" andy's asking sounded panicked.
Ningrum sighed.
"My husband has just passed away," Ningrum replied in an almost inaudible tone.
Andy was speechless, as if he was being jolted in shock and trying to string words for the woman.
"Sorry, I don't know. Hopefully he is husnul khatimah" he said lirih.
"Yes.. Thanks for the prayer!"
While they were silent, nothing could be heard except their same breath.
"You must have been devastated by this event," Andy began the conversation, revealing the silence that had continued to color their communication.
"Yes.. Because he only briefly stopped in my life, and never incised the slightest wound, of course I feel very sad!" Ningrum sighed heavily. The beming thread seemed to want to fall from the corner of his eyes. But he tried to keep him from falling, because he would look weaker.
"Come... I waited for you. There won't be any tears flowing if you're with me!" andy suddenly said.
"Why should I? Why don't you just come?!" cecar Ningrum's. He can't be a hypocrite, if he's been expecting Andy all along, but it seems like fate has always been on his side.
"There's a reason I can't explain!" sidelines Andy quickly.
"What reason can you not explain? Are you married? Tell me, so that I do not wish far, for I do not wish to be a destroyer in the happiness of another woman." - Ningrum.
Andy was silent for a long time. Silence tones their communication.
"It was before, yeah.. Next time we connect.. I still have a job" Andy said suddenly.
"Wait on! I just wanted to say something. "If you're really married, never call me again, let alone send me money, because it would hurt the woman who became your life partner, forget me!" Ningrum tried to express his heart, even though he knew it was not easy, as he still held a sense of and a despair for the man.
Andy did not answer any of Ningrum's remarks, and he disconnected his phone, and, as usual, within seconds, the bank-ing notification went into his phone.
Trannfer funds of 20 million rupiah entered into his account.
Ningrum sighed his nafs heavily. He no longer knew what to say to the mysterious man.
"Who was it, Ma?" ask Luccy curiously.
Ningrum turned his head towards Luccy, even realizing that the little girl was still in his lap.
"Emmm... He is a wingless Angel." replied Ningrum origin.
Luccy wanted to ask back, but Ningrum interrupted her before the girl returned to reveal her uncles.
"Here, take a shower, it's dusk.!" Ningrum tried to divert Luccy's curiosity which was clearly drawn on the little girl's face.
Without rebutting, he left the lap of his mother rushed to the bathroom.
Ningrum looked at the little girl's back who grabbed a towel and put it over her shoulder, then went into the bathroom.
