REMEMBERED YOU

REMEMBERING YOU Part 7 (Trying to forget)

Today is the last day Bayu took leave at the office. He planned to go out to relieve the fatigue and try to forget what he was going through by looking for a new atmosphere.

After everything finished breakfast, Papa and Mama decided to teach. Bayu himself also wants to go out, now at home there is only Bi Surti.

"Bi, Bayu get out first, yeah. Later do not need to be provided lunch, maybe I until the afternoon" said Bayu Sama Bi Surti.

"Well, Mas Bayu. Today Auntie will just clean up her clothes, Ironing Aunt a lot." replied Bi Surti.

"Yes, Bi. It's up to Auntie. If you are tired, rest. Do not be forced." said Bayu while heading to the middle room table to pick up the car keys.

"Lho, Mas Bayu can already drive a car?" ask Aunty.

"It's okay, Bi. What to wear if not a car. My bike is just finished next week" replied Bayu.

"Oh yes, that's it. Be careful, huh Mas?" bi Surti said.

"Yes, Bi. Thanks." she replied.

Bayu headed to the garage to start his car engine. He was planning to go somewhere to be alone. Car to break up the highway. He drove his car casually.

The singing of Blackout in his car made him remember Dini Almarhumah.

"How heartbroken, lost passion for life. It feels empty in the soul.

No more laughter, and no joy. All are buried in grief.

He, now has gone far. Flying high leave me here.

Lord You know I love her, and no one can change her.

God is the only one who is always there, in my mind."

Finally he arrived at a place where all the street children were gathered. From buskers, hawkers, shoe shakers and even beggars. Bayu stopped his car and pulled over on the side of the road. He was still watching all the children gathered there.

He deliberately did not approach, only watching her from afar. He was sitting in the car with the door open. How happy they were to gather together and joke with each other, as if they did not feel the slightest burden.

Some are running, some are sitting around playing. Everything looks natural and not made up. Bayu is getting more and more filled when there is one of them who is crying maybe because of hunger or what he does not know. He saw one girl who was about thirteen years old approaching the crying little boy.

Bayu still watched them with a full glare. Soon the girl looked at Bayu, and Bayu waved his hand to call out to her. He immediately ran towards Bayu who was sitting in his car.

"Why is the child crying?" ask soft Bayu.

"He's hungry, brother."

"You haven't eaten yet?" bayu said as she pulled out her wallet.

The little girl shook her head hard. Then Bayu issued several pieces of money with a fraction of fifty thousand rupiah.

"This is a little windfall from Brother. Please, you buy food for all your friends there" said Bayu.

The little girl immediately rounded her eyes in excitement. "Thank you, Brother, I thank you very much, Brother. Finally today we can eat" replied the little girl while receiving money from Bayu.

The little girl stayed away from Bayu. Then he shared the task with his other friends to go somewhere to buy food. Bayu was still in his car and watching them.

Inwardly she thrashed out wanting to cry, but she was ashamed of them. Their problems are more complicated than her when she was left early. Why does he feel the most pain if he lives without Early. The sense of loss is human, but we must be able to see the reality of life. There are still many who suffer more than what we experience ourselves.

"Oh Allah, I would be foolish to suffer the most in this world. While out there there are still many more suffering than what I experienced" Bayu said in his heart.

Bayu smiled sweetly when he saw their smile which they were currently enjoying the meal. Soon a little girl and one more friend approached Bayu.

"Sister, this is for Brother. Let's eat together." said the little girl while offering a pack of rice along with warm tea placed in plastic.

Bayu did not immediately accept the food. He was so shocked and astonished by the behavior of this little girl. When he feels hunger, but he will not forget to share with others. The little girl noticed Bayu who was still dumb.

"Sister,! don't you want to eat food like this?" ask the girl again.

Instantly Bayu was shocked and received a package from the little girl. "Eh, yes. Brother wants, really. Let's eat together."

Finally Bayu ate with the little girl and her friend. Others are still in place to enjoy the food. Not feel Bayu's eyes glazed when enjoying the rice wrap that is now in his hand.

"Oh yes, whose name is Brother? if I'm Nisa and this is my friend Ganes. Among them, we are the biggest one." explained Nisa.

"Me, Bayu. Call me, Brother Bayu. You both help them, because you are both the biggest." replied Bayu.

"Oh Brother Bayu. Why are you suddenly in a place like this. Is this brother a rich man?" ask Nisa plain.

"It just so happened that Bayu's sister had a work holiday. And accidentally passed through this place. Can't rich people play in this place?" answer Bayu.

"Maybe, brother. But, Nisa meant that, just weird. Maybe a thousand compared to one there are rich people who want to play to a slum like this" said Nisa again.

"It's not all, Nis. Just a certain person." replied Bayu.

"Oh yes, Brother. This is the change in money from my brother. The rest is a lot." said Nisa while handing the rest of the money to Bayu.

"Once you have, keep it. Who knows you need it. Any time tomorrow or when you do not have time to come here, it can still be used to buy food again." replied Bayu.

"But, Brother-"

"Once you have, keep it. Okay,!" say Bayu.

"Alright, Brother. This will save Nisa for all friends." replied Nisa.

"Alright, now you'll excuse me, yes. Because the day is getting daytime. Already want Dhuhur too" said Bayu.

"Yes, Brother. Thank you so much for helping us" Nisa replied while greeting Bayu. Ganes also did not want to miss to kiss the back of Bayu's hand.

Then Bayu got into the car and started the engine of his car. As she waited for a few minutes, suddenly there was a hijab girl riding a matic motorbike towards where Nisa and her friends had been.

The girl took off her helmet and opened her bag as well and pulled out some books, then distributed them to the children. Bayu did not immediately leave the place and was still in his car. He was still paying attention to who the hijab girl was.

"Who is that woman, why does she care so much about street children like that" Bayu said in his heart.

Bayu seemed interested in what the woman was doing. If she can, why not. Maybe next time he'll come back to give them something useful.

Bayu continued his journey to the place of worship, because it had approached Dhuhur. Slowly he drove his car looking for a mosque by the side of the road.

When he found the mosque, he immediately turned and parked his car in the courtyard of the Mosque. When he opened the car door, his eyes caught a boy who was already familiar to him.

"Kim,!!"
