SECRETS IN LOVE

Episode 35 - Angle of the Pelita

During the day as promised, Raka drove Oliv to the corner of the lampa a reading garden containing textbooks for street children.

The place is located on the corner under the overpass. There were a lot of dirty-clothed kids there. Some are reading, playing, running, coloring, some are asleep.

" sister.. Older brother.. Lookatthis... This is where I first met Bang Raka.." Oliv pointed to a tree not far from the reading garden.

" Bang Raka helped me and took care of me who was left on the streets by my Mama here. In this place.. Last time Oliv saw Mama.." Oliv. His voice started to rumble as it held back the crying.

Amara hugged Oliv.

" Mama Oliv is evil... Oliv discarded.. Oliv doesn't understand what Oliv's wrong.."

" Don't talk like that Oliv.. There is no mother who is evil to her child. Even animals...You just don't know why your mom left you here... I'm sure someday your mom will realize her mistake. "

" Sister is right. Did Oliv sin if Oliv hated Mama all this time? "

" Dispose of your hate. Take wisdom from all this. You are one of the lucky children. When you're left behind, you still have your friends here. Someone strengthened you. There's someone you can count on when you need to.."

" Thank you, brother.. Oliv was relieved after telling this to Brother... Even Oliv didn't dare tell a story to bang Raka."

" Sister was also once abandoned by father... Even Dad left when you needed someone to strengthen you..."

Amara smiles. It's in his mass memory. When he was down and needed someone who would strengthen his heart, his father left and did not return.

Raka approached and touched Amara's shoulder.

" That time has passed. Now there is Mas in your life who will try to strengthen you. You don't have to feel fragile anymore, dear..."

Amara looked at Raka.

' Can I pin my hopes on you?'

Raka pulls up Amara's nose.

" Don't daydream.. I know I'm handsome.."

Raka's confession made Amara chuckle.

" Narcissist you are so.. Don't Want Sis in Gombalin Bang Raka." Typhoon Olivia.

The three distributed snacks and packaged milk as well as writing equipment that had been prepared by Raka.

Amara saw Raka with a different nature when she was in the middle of the children. So did Olivia who like finding her home to go home.

A 6-year-old boy approached Amara. He looked at Amara's face.

" Are you an angel?"

Amara smiled and shook her head.

" no.. Older human brothers like you.." Answer Amara gently.

" Why is my sister's face so pretty? Not like my face..."

" You are beautiful too... "

" Thank you, brother.. Can I be a princess with a face like this?"

" Of course. Have you found your prince?"

" It's. Big Brother Angel has met the prince?"

" It's been.." Amara answered while imagining the figure of Raka with a white horse.

' Ahh, what a ridiculous delusion...'

" Who's prince brother?"

Not yet Amara answered, Raka approached and grabbed Amara's hip.

" If Bang Raka becomes his prince fit not deck?"

" fit.. I liked.. "

After some time chatting with the street children, Raka, Amara and Olivia leave to go home.

" Wouldn't you come here again?"

Amara approached the boy she knew named Sherly. Amara aligned her height with Sherly.

" Sister has to work, baby... But I will try to stop by here often to see you and the others. That's also if boss Brother gives permission.."

" Really?"

Amara nodded. Then the boy asked Amara to wait for him for a while. Sherly writes something on the paper and gives it to Amara.

Amara glanced at Raka and received a letter from Sherly.

" If you can't come tomorrow, you can't be disappointed? I'm trying this week to see you. Kaka will also bring some clothes for you"

Sherly hugs Amara.

"Thank you, little sister..."

Olivia's car can't stay still. He continued to tell at length about his daily life while living near the bridge.

----------------------

Dinner this time was different. More with Olivia.

But Raka is preoccupied with her phone.

" Bang, Oliv's going to the Mall tomorrow. Oliv wants to buy shoes. Oliv only brought 2 pairs yesterday.."

"Hm.. "

" To the Mall with whom?" Ask Amara.

" Same with Arga... Brother want to come?"

" Want to next time maybe. Your brother's schedule is a little tight this week."

" Permission ajah Kak... Is there no one else, bang? Kasian sister-in-law wants refreshing pressed work continues. There are handsome twins.. "

" Hmm "

" Cappy yes brother.. By the length of the same bang Raka is only reciprocated hmm. hmm.. "

" You rest there... Remember next time if you want to enter the room people knock on the door first. Don't be like yesterday. " Said Raka ketus.

****

In the room, Amara went to the bathroom to clean herself up. Raka took her laptop and checked her emails one by one.

There is something that surprises Raka from the email. Raka immediately contacted Irgi.

📱 where are you?

📲 As you ordered. I've entered the target place where I was detained.

📱 Did you see them both?

📲Yes...they are in one room. Both are in good condition.

📱Speed our plans! Tomorrow your brother and I will be there soon. You prepared..

Raka shut the phone. He was surprised by Amara's presence behind him.

" Whose phone?"

" Emm.. Irgi.. "

" Oh.. "

" dear... Please rearrange the schedule tomorrow. Looks like 2 weeks of this Mas has to go to Irgi's place. There's a problem there. "

" all right.. Then the meeting with the board of directors must also be canceled Mas?"

" The vice-president will take over the meeting. You just leave the file to them. "

" Sorry dear.. I have to leave you tomorrow.."

" It's okay, Mommy.. There was Olivia accompanying me. Is Arga coming too ?"

" yes.. Over the next 2 weeks, it may be a little difficult to contact you. Please don't burden your mind with this. "

Amara fell silent. For some reason his heart suddenly experienced a great inner turmoil at this time.

Raka who saw the change in look on Amara's face immediately hugged her from behind.

" It's the first time I've got to be away from you. Please take good care of yourself. "

Amara just nodded. His tongue was too faint to say anything.

Raka turned Amara's body so that it faced her. Raka put her forehead on Amara's forehead.

" Are you going to miss me?"
