RUINED MY HOPE

28. Meet New Friends

Zidan felt very happy because today was the first day for Zidan to go to school in a new place. He had to repeat his school from the beginning, because the school has been disrupted for several months. Since morning Sintia has been busy cleaning the house and preparing breakfast for her son.

"Eat first son," said Sintia who immediately prepared food on the table.

"Yes," replied Zidan who had been ready to go to school. Zidan was very enthusiastic about his first time attending school.

Zidan immediately ate the food his mother had prepared. Rice and fried chicken are Zidan's favorite foods. He will finish his food if he eats with his favorite food. Not how long Zidan's food was consumed by him.

Finished finishing her meal, Sintia immediately rushed her son to school. Zidan and Sintia immediately boarded the online ojeg he had previously ordered. Not long after that ojeg came.

"Excuse me with Miss Sintia?" ask the ojeg to make sure.

"Yes sir, myself," replied Sintia who immediately approached the ojeg.

"Please ma'am," bargained the carpenter

"Let's go, baby" invite Sintia who immediately raise her son on the motorcycle.

"Yes," replied Zidan.

Not how long the online ojeg driver immediately drove his motorbike. On Monday like this is indeed so crowded on the highway, so Sintia deliberately ordered ojeg so they are not late. Unlike cars, motorcycles can overtake even on small roads.

It didn't take long for them to finally arrive at Zidan's new school. A fairly simple school but so crowded. Sintia deliberately applied to this school because this school is the closest to her home.

TK Tadika Mesra is a fairly simple kind of kindergarten, but so many students enrolled in that school.

"Hi, can I sit here?" ask someone standing in front of Zidan.

"May, please," replied Zidan who immediately shifted to the right side.

"Thank you" said Ara who immediately sat next to Zidan.

"Have you just enrolled in this school?" ask Ara.

"Yes, it was my mother who was enrolling me" pointed Zidan to her mother who was sitting in front of her with one of the teachers.

"Who's your name?" ask the beautiful girl.

"I'm Zidan, who are you?" zidan replied, immediately thrusting his hand.

"I just call Ara," Ara said with a knotty smile.

"Mah introduce this Ara my new friend mah," said Zidan when Sintia approached him..

"Really? Whatis yourname? It's beautiful," praised Sintia.

"Hi aunt, I'm Ara" replied Ara who tried to introduce herself.

"What a pretty name," praised Sintia as she pinched Ara's extremely adorable cheek.

"Finally you get a new friend, son," said Sintia who rubbed her child's head.

After the introduction they became close. Zidan and Ara even sat down one table. Now they become friends. They met for the first time, but they look so familiar. Sintia was happy to see her son happy.

"If it's like this, maybe I should work so I have some income" Sintia murmured.

A few days passed, now Zidan began to be preoccupied with his school. The school is a different time to study than other schools. There Zidan will be at school for most of the day. It was also used by Sintia to carry out his plan.

Since the night Sintia deliberately made a job application. Sintia has to work hard to finance her son's life. After Zidan went to the school that was picked up by his school driver, Sintia immediately rushed away with a job application letter.

Sintia immediately went to every company he passed.

"Excuse me sir, is there a need for a new employee?" sintia asked one of the guards who was watching in her room.

"Sorry ma'am, nothing yet" the security guard politely replied.

I don't know how many companies he went to, but the results are still nil. Not even felt the afternoon. Start approaching.

"Where are you, mah? Why just got home?" ask Zidan who welcomed his mother's arrival.

"Sorry dear, you're looking for a job.  So it's okay if you don't pick me up today" replied Sintia.

"Why do you have to work?" ask again.

With great difficulty Sintia also tried to explain in a language that is easily understood by children. Feeling quite understanding, Zidan now understood what his mother said.

"I'm sorry Zidan mah, Zidan is always troublesome mamah," murmured Zidan. At a very young age, Zidan understood the reason why Sintia had to work.

"I know mah, all this mamah do only for the sake of me kan mah," murmured inner Zidan.

Feeling exhausted from almost all day Sintia walked around and finally Sintia fell asleep in the living room. Zidan who felt difficulty because it was impossible if he had to carry his mother. Finally Zidan let his mother sleep on the sofa. Zidan immediately enveloped Sintia with his blanket.

"Good night mah. I'm sorry mah" he said again after pecking at his mother's head.

Seeing his mother asleep on the sofa, Zidan took the initiative to sleep under Sintia with the carpet as the basis. Zidan could not bear to wake his mother, however. He also did not want to be away from his mother.

By the time Zidan was about to close his eyes, his mother's phone suddenly rang. The exhausted Sintia did not hear the sound of her cell phone. Zidan took the initiative to raise the call, but at the time Zidan will speak suddenly his phone died because of the battery

"Mamah must have forgotten to charge his phone" said Zidan who took the initiative to charge his mother's phone.

After that Zidan went back to lying under his mother. It didn't feel like they slept in the guest room all night.

Next day..

"God, I fell asleep here" said Sintia who was confused because she fell asleep on the sofa.

"Zidan's? Was he sleeping monitored all night?" said Sintia again who was increasingly surprised to see her son asleep on the floor which was only a tapestry.

"Dear Zidan, wake up son!" sintia shouted with a soft voice. Sintia stroked her son's cheek so he could get up soon.

"Your mama's awake?" asked Zidan who rubbed his eyes because he just woke up.

"Why are we sleeping here? Why didn't Zidan wake up mommy son?" ask Sintia softly.

"I can't bear to wake up mamah, so I'm sleeping here too" Zidan replied innocently.

"You are indeed a good child, here mamah hugged," said Sintia who immediately hugged her child. Sintia is very proud because Zidan grew up to be a good and caring child. Since the presence of his son, Sintia's life has changed more and more. Sintia feels lucky to have a child like Zidan.
