Gts ... Gts ...

The sound of a knock on her car glass instantly made Eleena immediately wake up and stop her crying.

He stared fixedly at the figure of the man who was now right beside his car and tried to keep knocking on the car glass from the outside.

“Why?” ask the man when Eleena has opened the windshield.

Instead of answering, Eleena actually broke her sobs, making the man panic instead of playing.

“You get off first?” ask her again with a voice so soft and hearted.

The voice that these few days had always been reflected in his memories. The voice that he had always longed for and the voice that was always able to calm his heart.

Eleena lowered her head, wiped away the tears then opened the car door and immediately went down. Closing the door so quietly, “Yusuf ... “

“You cried Sora?” asked Yusuf who was immediately nodding his head by Eleena, “Did you drive yourself, from Jakarta?”

Again Eleena just nodded her head to answer every question given by the man.

“It's morning, soon sahur time. Want to go home to meet Umma?” yusuf asked again, making Eleena quickly nod her head while wiping away the tears that again flooded her face.

“Assalamualaikum,” Yusuf said as he entered the house and headed to the kitchen to meet his mother.

The navy blue-flavored lady with a black veil covering her head immediately released Appron and her spatula on the kitchen table and then immediately approached Eleena who was seen bowing her head since.

And when she saw that umma Chila was already in front of her, without any trite ado or hesitation, Eleena immediately hugged the woman so tightly and shed her cries.

“Sstt, relax first. Ele let's sit down, the same story Umma,” said the woman was so gentle as she led Eleena's hand towards the sofa in the living room.

“Yusuf, please get a drink for Ele, Nak.” Imbuh umma Chila was quickly obeyed by the man.

“Thank you Umma,” muttered Eleena with a hoarse voice almost inaudible after drinking the water from Joseph.

“Umma, Yusuf will return to the Mosque,” said Yusuf who did not want to disturb. He quite understands, that Eleena really needs her Umma, so he does not want to make the girl feel awkward or can not be separated when telling Umma. Therefore, leaving was the right choice for Joseph at this time.

“Assalamualaikum!”

“Walaikumsalam.”

After making sure that Joseph was gone. Eleena immediately told all her feelings to umma Chila. While crying and hitting the chest that feels increasingly tight when remembering her biological mother, making ummaa Chila can only be silent to hear all the outpouring of Eleena's heart.

“Eleena misses her Umma, Eleena wants to hug her, pouring out all of Eleena's yearning all along, but Eleena is also disappointed, very disappointed at this fact. Hiks hyks, if it's true what Papa said that Mama went for someone else, Ele didn't know how else to do. What should Ele do? What should Ele say if she has to meet again, Ele can't Umma. Elee can't hiks hiks.” The girl muttered in between her sobs.

“Eleena is afraid of hating her more,” she added after talking at length while hugging umma Chila.
