Patience of Elisha

Chapter 7

As the days change, Elisha grows into a beautiful and patient girl. Iwan loved his adopted son very much. Iwan did not distinguish, he loved all his children.

"Huk.huk...huk!" Iwan has been coughing for a month and is always sickly.

"Bod now you don't have to work. Let Elisha go find the money, sir." Elisha said sadly while peeking at his father's back.

"You're a kid, you fuck up every day selling a cake." Iwan looked pale, his body growing thinner. The scratches on his face were very clear.

"Father, if the pain continues how we want to eat, children's school fees are expensive, can stress the mother if it continues this way!" Nia nagged while bringing her husband coffee.

"Please be sick again." Iwan stared in lethargy.

"Patience until when. The debt at the juragan is already piled up. Yesterday the manager came to collect." Said Nia annoyed with a sour face.

Elisha just fell silent and kept his father's back. Elisha was confused about not being able to do much to help his father.

"Siska's also going to work mom, Siska's going to wash the neighbor's clothes." Siska emerged from the kitchen and approached them.

"What, so the washerman doesn't want to put where mom's face is." Nia disagreed with Siska's intention to work as a washing laborer.

Elisha seemed surprised why his mother loved her brother so much. Different treatment to him. What actually happened, Elisha fell silent while continuing to scowl.

Siska's decision was unanimous, and she began work by washing the clothes of her neighbors. And Elisha was in charge of selling around.

Today is Sunday, Elisha can one day sell cakes. He would leave early in the morning and come back later in the day to continue selling. His mother made cakes at home.

Scorching heat no Elisha ignored, he fought for his family. At the red light, Elisha heads to a luxury black car.

"Excuse me." Elisha tried to greet the person in the car.

The car glass was open, a friendly smile and a beautiful face greeted him. A handsome man was driving a car.

"Mother, is this man going to buy Elisha's cake?" Elisha offered his cake with a friendly smile.

"Yes son, pack 20 rb yeah." The woman replied with a friendly smile fluffing on her sultry lips.

Elisha handed the cake to the beautiful woman. Their eyes looked at them, whether there was a strange feeling from the two. Feelings have known him for a long time.

"Here son, you take the change!" He handed over 50 rb to Elisha.

Elisha accepted with gratitude and kissed the beautiful woman's hand.

The red light is over. The car leaves Elisha. Elisha looked towards the luxurious car. I don't know what Elisha felt. Elisha knew the woman and the man in the car.

Laras looked back, but he did not see Elisha. Barrels put his head in the car seat. He looks sad. Bagas looked at his wife in wonder.

"Our son, it may be that big now." Laras looked sadly at her husband, her eyes looking teary.

"Ma sorry papa yes, if papa used to be responsible. It's not gonna happen." Bagas said sadly remembering their past.

"Let the past pass, let us seek our son. May he always be in the grace of God." Reply Laras smiled trying sincerely and forgot the bad treatment her husband had done before. That's a way for Laras to come to terms with life and want to live a quiet life.

Bagas remove the tears on the cheek of the barrel. Laras leaned his head against Bagas' shoulder, Bagas stroked his wife's head gently. Bagas drove his car to his house.

Elisha walked over questioningly about his feelings. He felt close to the woman and the man. He wanted to meet and hug them. Elisa was confused by her feelings. Elisha seemed to know them very well and tried to remember where he had met the couple.

Once at home he kept on being imagined with the two of them. Elisha sat down beside his father and told him about the incident.

Iwan looked at Elisha, afraid that Elisha might be taken away by his biological parents. Iwan could not imagine if he had to part with Elisha.

"Son, you're a good boy. So it's only natural that someone else is doing you good." Iwan stroked Elisha's head, and Iwan wondered who the couple was.

"Hehehe yes sir, they are very kind. beautiful and dashing, rich again!" Elisha smiled innocently telling them.

"Sir, Elisha wants to be rich. To make your father and all happy." Elisha put his head on Iwan's back spoiled.

Iwan stroked his son's head. There were no tears dripping down his cheeks. Although Elisha was only an adopted son, Elisha was already half of his soul. Iwan loved Elisha more than his own son.

"Learn the diligent son, so as not to be like the father. You have to be successful, you always pray for you." Said Iwan stroking his son's hair lovingly.

"Yes sir, Elisha must succeed!" Elisha smiled with confidence.

Iwan smiled, his heart ached to imagine that Elisha should return to his biological parents. Iwan felt unwilling to part with Elisha. Iwan loved Elisha very much, Iwan could not part with his son.

From the kitchen door, Siska stared happily. Siska knew the secret of Elisha, and she tried to hide it from her sister. Siska loved Elisha more than anything.

Siska was silent thinking that one day her sister should go back to her biological parents. Maybe Siska's heart will be broken. For Siska, her sister was everything for her life. Elisha was the sister who always made her smile and when they were sad they could strengthen each other.

Siska returned to the kitchen to clean the house. Elisha came to him and helped his sister clean the dishes. The happy face of Elisha, Siska happy to see it.

"Sir, you rest. You're tired of traveling let alone the weather's hot." Say Siska while giving a glass of drinking water to her sister. Elisha sat on a cot made of bamboo sipping water.

Siska approached her sister with a piece of leftover cake from her sale that was still at home. Elisha ate the cake his sister gave him. Siska stared with a happy smile as Elisha greedily ate the cake.

"How's the sale today deck?"

"Sister, Elisha was also given the same cake do not know who. Beautiful, very good brother. Her husband is also dashing like an artist loh kak." Elisha said, looking happy to tell the couple he just met.

"Alhamdulillah yes deck, may their rezeky smooth yes." Said Siska smiling, for some reason in her heart was blown what if it was Elisha's biological parents. Suddenly Siska's heart ached imagining it.
