Gathering

"What should I do?" Aditya Mumbles

The sun had not yet risen, Aditya was preoccupied with his own thoughts. Confusion mixed with anxiety that he could not stop since coming home from the office. The boss and owner of the company where he works, asked him to keep his only daughter puppet. Not without reason, his boss asked him to take care of his daughter. Aditya has lived alone since the age of 12 since his grandmother died. Since then Aditya worked to meet his needs, and began dropping out of school until now at the age of 15 years.

...****************...

When Aditya feels the weight of life, he meets Mr. Gunawan. A rich businessman who he helped when he wanted to be robbed. Because of Aditya's courage and goodwill to help him, Mr. Gunawan felt very grateful.

"Thank you for your help, son." Said Mr. Gunawan

"Together sir, are you all right?" Aditya

Mr. Gunawan responded to Aditya's question with a smile and a nod of his head. Gunawan saw Aditya's unkempt appearance, with long hair and shabby and dirty clothes. With great care Gunawan asked Aditya about who he was, and where he lived. After Aditya told me a little about his background, Gunawan felt pity.

"What if you come with me, I will finance your needs and education. So that you can connect your school that was cut off. It's a form of my gratitude to you, son." Gunawan said by patting Aditya on the shoulder

"No need sir, I help you sincerely. Thanks for your offer." Aditya said politely.

Mr. Gunawan continues to force Aditya, but Aditya is still muddled with his decision and refuses politely. Gunawan felt amazed by Aditya, rarely a child of Aditya's age would work hard without expecting help from others.

"How about you work at my place, in exchange I will finance your needs and education. Until you grow up and get ready to jump into the office world, my company needs people like you." Mr. Gunawan offered Aditya a choice.

Aditya who was a little confused and worried, a little convinced himself to accept an offer from Mr. Gunawan.

*I do need a job to finance my needs, I also have to continue my school to realize my grandmother's request* Inner Aditya

"Baa.good sir I'm willing to work at the father's place". Aditya replied after a long war with his mind and mind.

Gunawan smiled with relief, Aditya would accept his offer.

- Arriving at the residence of Mr. Gunawan -

Aditya felt very shocked, he did not expect the person he helped was a very rich person. Even he was stunned to see the courtyard and the house of Gunawan sir outside, Aditya fought again with his mind. What is true is that he experienced only dreams or reality, even he did not stop giving thanks in his heart.

"Let's get down, we're here". Said Mr. Gunawan, who broke Aditya's daydream.

-Aditya POV

Gunawan and I stepped foot to the main door of the house, not yet to the front door. Out a girl who approached Mr. Gunawan, with an annoyed expression.

"What did papa do? I'm ashamed of my friends, papa promised to come to school. But until the show is over papa doesn't come!!" Shake the girl

"I'm sorry, dear papa, there was a little problem earlier. Sorry papa?" Sahut Pak Gunawan by holding the girl's shoulder.

"I hate papa, papa always breaks a promise. Even now papa brought this padlock home?!" Cetus the girl

"Keysa! Keep your talk, papa never taught you to talk like that!" Snapped Mr. Gunawan to the girl

I could only shut up, the girl was so rude even to her own father. I thought she was a good girl, like her papa. My daydream came to a realization when Mr. Gunawan hugged my shoulder and invited me into the house past the girl.

"Don't listen to Keysa's talk, he's so likely I'm overindulging him." Mr. Gunawan said to start a conversation after a long time I chose silence.

"Good sir." Answer me briefly.

After arriving at the main room of Mr. Gunawan's house, there were several household assistants who greeted Mr. Gunawan and me. One of the housekeepers, took me to a room after receiving an order from Mr. Gunawan. I felt surprised after entering the room, outside and luxurious. Even outside of my home and grandmother's, the housekeeper asked me to rest and tell her if there was anything I needed to call her.

*In an instant my life began to change, even what I did earlier could not make up for all the good Mr. Gunawan. He's a very kind person*my inner

I threw my body into a very soft bed, and I had never felt it before. In a few seconds I fell asleep.

- Aditya POV

Keysa's room, on the other hand, was crying with annoyance and disappointment. He didn't even expect his papa to be able to snap at him like that.

"All this must be because of that dirty guy, papa yelled at me!!" Keysa said in a high tone while crying sobbing.

*Who was that guy? why did you bring her home?* inner Keysa.

Shortly after Keysa's bedroom door was knocked, Gunawan entered with something in his hand. Keysa could only shut up and pretend not to know if his papa was coming in.

"Darling, sorry papa. Papa just wants you to be a good and wise girl, your mama advised papa to be your woman who is beneficial to everyone. Maybe papa's way is wrong for pampering you too much, papa's only got you now. Papa just wants what's best for you, papa doesn't want to make you trouble, understand baby. And... For the boy you brought to the house earlier, he was the boy who had helped papa when papa was robbed. Papa brought her here to offer her a job and finance her needs as a thank you. He's a good boy, you can be friends with him." Obviously Mr. Gunawan to convince his daughter

Keysa was only speechless to hear his papa's explanation, now he could only reflect on his papa's speech. Understood the nature of his little daughter Gunawan left Keysa's room, hoping Keysa could be calmer first. Seeing her papa coming out of the room with a sad feeling, Keysa pondered back on her papa speech. In his heart only anger kept dominating him. Even after hearing the explanation from Mr. Gunawan, Keysa still did not understand the accident that hit Gunawan.

- In the city playground S-

"Ma, let's swing there. Come on ma, hurry." Whimper a beautiful girl who tugged at her mother's hand.

"Dear, wait don't run." Sahut the beautiful woman who looks very happy, seeing her little daughter.

"Reyna baby, don't hurry oma can't run."

Seen a happy smile that adorns the family, a very active and cheerful little girl to describe Reyna's nature.

From the other direction, seen a boy who was sitting alone while playing his remote car. However, it was clear the look on the child's face was not. Reyna, who noticed it while playing the swing, stopped her swing and looked at her mama with a gaze that her mama could not interpret.

"What's up, son?" Ask mom Melati (Mama Reyna)

Without answering her mother's question, Reyna ran towards the boy. Mama and her oma were startled and shouted to see Reyna running without saying goodbye.

"Hi, what's your name? My name is Reyna, let's play with me." Reyna made the boy surprised.

"Oh... Hi, my name is Ivan. No need to play alone." Ivan with his toy left Reyna.

Reyna, upset by Ivan's behavior, pulls Ivan's hand hoping he will play Reyna.

"What are you doing? I told you I don't want to play with you!" Jerky Ivan

"I know if you're lonely, play with me." Reynolds

"Well, I guarantee you'll be happy to play with me." Reyna with spirit

Mama Melati and the Kirana oma who saw it just chuckled, they knew that Reyna often forced someone to play with her. Reyna and Ivan play until the time has started the afternoon, mama Melati invites Reyna to go home.

"Ivan, it's late afternoon we want to go home. Where's Ivan's house? Let auntie take you with me." Ask mom Jasmine

"No need for aunty, Ivan's house is near here. Ivan can go home alone. Thanks for the offer." Ivan answered politely

Reyna and her family died alone in the middle of the Park, today was a great pleasure for Ivan. Because he had never played with a girl before.

*Seru can also play with the girl*inner Ivan

the residence of Mr. Gunawan

"It looks like I overslept." Aditya said while gathering his consciousness.

Aditya walks into the bathroom to clean himself up, after a few minutes of bathing. Suddenly she heard the sound of her bedroom door being opened by someone, Aditya rushed out of the bathroom. And saw Mr. Gunawan standing in front of his door, while carrying food and a glass of water in his hands.

"Dit, eat first. When dinner time made Inah see you still asleep so I deliberately brought food here." Mr. Gunawan said while putting food and a glass of water on the table.

"Thank you sir, no need to bother." Aditya

"Then you eat first, when you're done you call Bik Inah just to clean the dirty dishes. I'll go to the room first." While stroking Aditya's head

"Okay sir, thanks again."

Mr. Gunawan simply replied with a smile and a nod, then walked out of Aditya's room. Aditya, who was hungry, ate his food voraciously until the last mouthful. Aditya plans to bring dirty dishes and glasses to the kitchen, but after going down the stairs he is confused which way to go. Even he could only daze around looking for directions to the kitchen.

"Hey dirty boy, what do you want? You wanna steal?" Asked Keysa who came suddenly by accusing Aditya

"No miss, I was just looking for a way to the kitchen to get the dirty dishes back"

"Where is the thief who ngaku"

"I'm sorry, lady, I'm not lying"

Hearing there is a commotion in the middle room, Bik Inah approached and saw Keysa who continued to corner Aditya.

"Sorry Miss Keysa, Mas Aditya is right. I was the one who got the order from the big master to take the dirty dishes from Aditya's mas chamber." Obviously, binah

"Oh, I thought you were a thief. You are honest too." Chirping Keysa

Makes Aditya's anger overflow, but aware of his position. Aditya tries to hold back, and asks Bik Inah to drive him to the kitchen. Leaving Keysa alone in the living room.

"Don't take heart, miss." Speak to break the silence

"Yes bik." Aditya replied briefly

"After the great madam died, Miss Keysa's attitude became like that. He's more often angry, not like he used to be always cheerful."

Aditya just listened to Inah's explanation and nodded slowly. Even Aditya does not care about Keysa, however his attitude has gone too far to treat others like that.

"My sister went back to the room first." Pamit Aditya while wiping her wet hands

"Yes aditya, thank you for helping auntie."

*Am I willing to stay here and see the attitude of the girl every day*in Aditya

Aditya walks towards his room with a thought that considers his intention to continue in the residence of Mr. Gunawan. Not only because of Keysa's attitude, he also did not want to make Mr. Gunawan hassles because of it. Aditya thought until he was unconscious to sleep.

- The next day

Cit cit....

The sound of birds was heard, from behind the curtain the light was starting to light up. Aditya wakes up from his sleep and rushes to the bathroom to clean himself, the first day Aditya works at Mr. Gunawan's house. Aditya also convinced himself to talk to Mr. Gunawan, to reconsider Mr. Gunawan's decision regarding him.

"Good morning sir" Sapa Aditya stepped closer to Mr. Gunawan who was sitting breakfast at the middle table.

"Aditya, sit down let's have breakfast together. After this breakfast you come with Inah, today you start school." Sahut mr. Gunawan

"Sir.. there is something I want to tell my father before" said Aditya very carefully

"What do you want to say? Sit down first"

"So sir, I apologize in advance. I want to go back to live in my grandmother's house, sir, I think the facilities that you give are too excessive. I'll be here if it's time to work."

"Are you uncomfortable with all this? I understand son, you can stay at your grandmother's house again. You don't have to work for me while you're still in school, after you graduate your education you're new to work. My company needs you. Now learn the real thing, you don't have to worry about school fees and your needs."

"Let me keep working sir, I feel bad about my education costs and needs. The father who bears all. I'm an outsider anyway." Pinta Aditya in the hope that Gunawan will understand

"Well, you can work every school day until night. You go to my restaurant, to clean and wash dirty dishes. I'll pay you a salary every month for your needs and education. How's it?"

Pak Gunawan's offer made Aditya relieved, after Pak Gunawan's discussion with Aditya. Keysa came down from his room and stared cynically at Aditya who was eating at his desk with his papa, Aditya was aware of that and averted his eyes.
