Episode 34's. Adam's Request

After meeting Tika, a child who looks like Ainara, Aina always imagined the face of the child.

At night before going to bed Aina tells Gege about her meeting with Tika, a little boy who resembles her late son Ainara.

"Umi's.. Nara is happy with GOD. Even if the child that Umi met has similarities with Nara's lateumah.. If Umi misses, tomorrow we go on a pilgrimage to Nara's tomb! How's it? " ask Gege on his wife.

"okay.. But Bi.. If possible, Umi wants to change a little plan for Adam's birthday celebration. We can't celebrate at home, we don't need to go to an orphanage. Umi wants this time to celebrate Adam's birthday, sharing the same street children as Tika. If I could?!" ask Aina to Gege.

"Umi Aja's Subdistrict. Abi ngikut! " Answer Gege short.

"Sipp..thank you Abi!! " said Aina while peppering her beloved husband's cheeks.

Today, Aina intends to meet her daughter again at the red light yesterday.

Aina spurred her car slowly with a somewhat anxious feeling. Fear of not seeing the child again.

"Umi's.. Where are we going? not to the store, right?? " ask Adam to Uminya.

"Just a moment, baby..!! " Anne replied a little indifferently.

At the crossroads, Aina pulled her car over.

Aina got out of the car and searched from afar for a child who looked like Ainara yesterday.

"Assalamualaikum! Looking for someone again, huh? " ask a young man who approached Aina.

"Vayallikumsalam.. I'm looking for a little girl who sold a newspaper here yesterday, her name is Tika if not wrong! " answer Aina.

"Ohh. wait up!" the boy answered again, then left Aina.

Not long after, the boy again ran towards Aina with the little girl who looked like Ainara.

"Have you found me why? want to ask for change yesterday? " ask her Aina.

Aina shook her head.

"Tomorrow Mother's Son, Adam wants his 4th birthday celebration, So I want to invite Tika and friends who sell and who ngamen here to come home tomorrow. Wanna not? " ask Aina anyway.

"Home is not too far away, this is the cost for Tika and friends! I'll wait for you tomorrow morning at 10. Okay! ? " said Aina while giving Rp. 200k and home address to Tika and the boy next door.

"Seriously. How many people are there Tika and friends? "asked Aina again.

"About 10-15 people Buk! Tomorrow inshaa ALLAH we are there ya. buk!" replied the boy who was beside Tika with a happy feeling.

Aina then exchanges phone numbers with the boy who claims to be next door neighbor of Tika's house.

On Sunday at exactly 10:15 pm, all had gathered to commemorate Adam's 4th birthday.

Kyai Ma'aruf led the prayer to pray for Adam to always be given safety and health and grow into a smart and sholeh child.

No candle blow event.

Just cut a bumblebee robot cake at Adam's request.

After a meal, Aina and Gege hand out some groceries and some money to Tika and her friends who have been present.

"This is my grandmother's Buk!" Tika introduced her grandmother who was clearly not well. She was wearing a shabby black robe and a striking green hijab.

"Thank you for inviting us! May Adam son of mother grow up to be a good-natured and kind child like his parents. Aamij! " say her with a slightly trembling tone. Maybe because of his poor health.

"Aamiin. thanks Nek.." replied Aina with a smile.

The night after the event, Aina and Gege sat in the living room accompanying Adam to open some gifts that he got.

"Waaah.. The gift is good, yes..! that's the one from Atuk Kyai huh? uniform for prayer. So cool!! " said Gege praising the gift of kyai Ma'aruf to Adam.

"This is good too.. Electronic smart book by Oma Rahmi. Adam's learning is becoming more fun..!" Said Aina anyway.

"But this one is cooler Umi... Bang Toni knows that Adam likes escavators, so buy deh same Bang Toni car escavator use remote. It's cool for Umi.. Abi..?! " said Adam with passion.

"All the gifts are good!!. continue to Adam want what gift from Umi and Abi? " ask Gege again while holding on to his favorite child.

"Adam wants to be with Abi. Let's have a playmate. If playing alone is not fun..! At home is not good maen itself, except to go to the same store Umi, delicious. can play with BangToni, but if at home is not exciting.! Gakda's sister.gakda's playmate.
