Rafa and Ara

Episode 22

...Happy Reading's....

The call he received from Tito this morning made him uneasy. Tito said at about 2 am, there were 9 children coming to Panti. They begged to be accepted to live in an orphanage.

After being questioned by Tito, they are abandoned children who were kidnapped and managed to escape. Someone had led them all the way to Ara's home.

"Give them a meal, and lend your sister's clothes. Brother will come after college." that's what Ara told Tito this morning.

Ara's daydreams were spoiled when the driver said

"It's not until."

"Oh yes sir." Ara immediately came out and gave the fare.

"Thank you sir."

"Same as Non__"

Ara immediately ran towards the campus garden where Cindy and Ines were already waiting for her.

"You should immediately find a donor for your foundation Ra" Ines said upon hearing Ara's complaint about the boy. Not because he did not accept and was burdened by the child, but because he ran out of funds to accommodate them. Not to mention the narrow state of the parlour.

"Or we do fundraisers to the homes of the rich, and on the streets" Ines said.

"I think so too, but we have two more days to test" replied Ara weakly.

"We'll do it after the exam is over. While preparing the proposal first and looking for a list of companies for donors" said Cindy.

"Ra, shouldn't you ask your husband for help? I'm sure Raka will help you. Or just use the credit card that was given to you. Ever since you guys dated and got married, you never used it" Ines said.

Ara also actually thought so, but she was worried that her mother-in-law and Nesa would find out. They will definitely

sneered.

Ara stared at the envelope in her hand, then looked at the two faces of her best friend in turn.

"No, this must be your savings, right? I will not accept. You also need money for tuition and daily meals" said Ara refused.

"Hey Miss Young Artawijaya. It's not we love you, but we lend it. Give it back if you have a lot of money later" Cindy said as she pinched Ara's nose. Even though he and Ines don't expect to be returned. They purposely said so so that Ara did not refuse.

"You don't worry, we still have savings for daily necessities and college needs." Cindy added.

Ara looked back at the brown envelope for a moment. Then look at his best friend. All three smiled. Then cuddle.

"Thank you, I will definitely return him your savings" said Ara. He knew the money was Cindy and Ines' savings they had saved since college. And now it's being dismantled to help him. Ara prayed, may Allah give more sustenance to him in order to repay the kindness to his two friends.

"After college today, I'm going to the parlor. This money I will buy clothes and mukena for the children who just entered last night" said Ara moved.

"It looks like you'll have to provide the room again. The number of children is increasing, you need a large building to be their shelter" Cindy said.

"You're right, Cin, I have to make a hostel for them. For men and women separately. Hopefully later there will be a generous benefactor willing to donate his money to help the poor child. Because they not only need to eat clothes and shelter, but also education."

"Aamiin, hopefully! We'll always support you" Cindy and Ines said.

Ara smiled, grabbing the hands of her two best friends

"Thank you" he said.

The three of them hugged each other again.

Not long after they immediately headed to their respective classes because the first MK will be started.

Seriate.
