Sebatang Kara's...

Turns out...

I was silent when I heard his voice, was he really someone I knew.

" Ani", he said again.

It turns out, she's someone I know, she's a Princess, an old friend of mine while in college.

" Yes my own, you're a princess right?", I asked.

" Yes Ni, I think you've forgotten the same I Ni, it turns out you still remember me, I often call your old phone number, but never active, but never active, it turns out you changed a new mobile number" he said.

" Yes Put, I did change the phone number, because I wanted to avoid the Izal bang, I didn't want to be in touch with him anymore" I said.

" Yes Ni, I also already know about the problem you have with your husband Izal, and I didn't expect Izal to do that to you" she said.

" Yes Put, his name is taqdir, how else, I can only surrender and surrender to Allah SWT, maybe he is not my true soul mate" I said.

" Yes, maybe you are a match with a better man and love you more Ni" he said.

" Yes Put, maybe Allah SWT has prepared the best soul mate for me, and I do not know who it is, and I just wait until the man comes into my life" I said.

" You're not angry, Ni, Khadijah's sister told me about your problem, because I kept forcing her, I really want to meet you, and tell you everything about you, even about Azam ", said it.

" Well, where did you meet Khadijah?", I asked.

" Today, Khadijah came to check the contents of the hospital where I worked, I the public hospital where Khadijah gave birth to her first child first, we also met at that time, I was in a public hospital where she gave birth to her first child, now Khadijah is pregnant with her second child ", she explained.

" Thankfully, Khadijah is pregnant, hopefully healthy" said I pray for him.

" Aamiin, Ooh yeah, aren't you curious about the Azam bang?", I asked.

" It's not Put, you said Azam was married and lived happily with his wife" I said.

" I'm sorry Ni, I used to lie to you, actually Azam never married, I was upset with him, every time we introduced a girl to him, he always refused, he said, he said, he didn't want to get married, that's all, finally, when you asked about bang Azam, I lied to you, so you don't think about it anymore" she said.

" Ooh, that's it, Put, I'm not mad at you, because that's your right, it's just hospital time, I'm just a prank asking Azam, no matter where, we used to date, so I was curious about how he was doing, where is he now?", I asked.

" He is now working abroad, on a foreign middleman ship, sometimes in a year he only comes home once, sometimes he doesn't go home" he said.

" Ooh.", I said briefly.

" Is it possible that he still expects you Ni?", he asked.

" I don't know Put, it's his heart, only God and he knows" I said.

" If bang Azam came to propose to you, would you marry him?", he asked.

" I don't know yet Put, if he is my soul mate, God will surely open the door of my heart to him, but for now, I just want to focus on caring for and raising my children" I said.

" Yes Ni, it is true, if you are a match, you will definitely be united by Allah SWT" he said.

" I'm sorry, Put, we'll talk later, I hear my son crying" I said.

" Yes Ni, later I call again yes, keep the spirit yes say, assalamualaikum ", he said.

" Wa alaikum salam Put, when - when you come to my house yes", I said as I ended our mobile phone connection without waiting for the answer.

I hurried inside the house to see my son.

" My dear son Habib, why are you crying?" I said.

" Adek cried because he did not care about Mama" said my daughter.

I immediately carried Habib to silence him.

" Kira took a shower first Ma" he said.

" Yes dear, all of you take ablution yes dear, after bathing directly prayers ashar" I said while kissing his cheek.

" Yes Ma", he said as he passed away to the bathroom.

After Habib didn't cry anymore, I gave him a drink of mineral water, so he could be calmer.

" Ma, I've finished bathing, mama can bathe adek" said Syakira.

" Yes son, mama bathein adek first yes", I said as I passed to the bathroom with his hands Habib.

When I finished bathing, I put on green pajamas.

" The most handsome boy in the world" I said, smiling at him and kissing his cheek.

" Yes dear" I said, hugging her and kissing her cheek.

It did not feel like the night had come, after praying Isya and having dinner together, we took a short break while watching television.

I saw my children getting sleepy, and finally I invited them to sleep in the room After turning off the television.

We slept hugging until the night passed.

Morning has arrived...

As usual, I do my activities as a single mother. I take care of my children well and lovingly, it is hard sometimes, but I have to stay strong and steadfast in this life.

Right now, I'm already in my little shop to serve the buyers, while my son Habib is sitting in a chair to accompany me and my daughter is in school.

" Excuse me ma'am, are you selling cigarettes?", asked a man in army uniform.

" I'm sorry sir, I don't sell cigarettes, only snacks and snacks" I said with a friendly smile.

" Ooh yes Mom, if there are no cigarettes, I buy food, there are pastries or wet ma'am?", he asked.

" There is a pack, please choose sir, is in the white jar of the tile model in front of the father" I said while pointing at the jar.

" Mom's son, well yes, sit still like that nemanin mama selling, emang father where is Mom?", he asked.

" Ooh, his father is in Medan sir, working" I said briefly.

" This is Ma'am cake, please count how much in total" he said, giving a plastic bag containing a wet cake.

" Ooh..ktalnya fifteen thousand rupiah sir", I said after calculating the amount of the cake and handed him a plastic bag.

" Thank you Mom", he said, giving me fifteen thousand dollars.

" Together sir", I said with a friendly smile.

He left my house early in the morning.

Not felt, the day went by, I saw the clock in my hand showing at eleven o'clock in the afternoon, time to pick up my daughter Syakira to school, I said in my heart.

A few minutes later, we arrived in front of my daughter's school.

" Mama .!" said my daughter as she ran up to me.

I looked at her face, a bit puffy, did she cry, I asked in my heart.

" Let's go, baby, let's go home" take me.

A few minutes later, we arrived in front of our house.

" Kira, was there a fight with Kira's friend at school?", I asked while helping her change her clothes, while my son Habib was busy watching television.

" Yes ma, he said Kira did not have a father, because every day, Mama continues to invite Syakira to school" he said.

I was stunned to hear his words.

" So what's Kira saying?", I asked.

" Kura, if Kira has a father, she works in Medan" he said.

" Yes son, just a bitch like that, because the fact is that Kira's father works in Medan is a pity ", I said comforting him.

" Yes, but they don't trust Ma, he says we lied, Mama called Dad aja Ma, told me to come here, let Kira's friends believe that Kira does have a Dad" he said.

I was silent for a moment hearing his words.

It turns out that the figure of a father is very important for children. What to say, my father and I are no longer together.

" Patience baby, later mom will call your dad to come see you guys" I said with a smile on her face.

" Hooree.", he said, hugging my body and laughing happily.

" Dad will come here, won't he?", asked my daughter with a happy face.

" God willing, your father will come" I said, smiling at him.
