"Miss Alea Salsha Queenza, you're welcome to work here" the Pharmacy owner told a young girl wearing a checkered flannel shirt under her levis pants and curly hair.
The girl who has the full name Alea Salsha Queenza was smiling with excitement to hear that she had been accepted to work at the pharmacy 'Medika'.
"Alhamdulillah" murmured Alea.
"Tomorrow you can start working here. Remember that! If there are drugs you don't understand, you can ask other employees."
"Well, ma'am," Alea smiled faintly.
The Apothecary's owner invited Alea to come home. As soon as possible Alea came out of the place while carrying a happy feeling.
How not? Alea works to live her daily life with Mom and Grandma. It just so happened that Alea's father had already died since Alea was a child.
So the one who banged his bones to meet the needs of Alea since childhood was his mother. But now that Alea has grown up and graduated High School, Alea will be working for her mother.
"Gue had to hurry home to tell Mom and Grandma that I was accepted to work at the Medika pharmacy" Alea said impatiently wanting to go home.
***
On the way, as Alea crossed the park, her net accidentally saw a middle-aged woman pleading with every young woman who passed by her.
"Sorry Mom, I can't."
"I don't want to. Sorry, Mom."
Such was the rejection that Alea's ears heard from every woman's mouth on the middle-aged woman.
"What's up with that mom, huh? Why is he begging? Then why do the girls refuse?" alela was curious.
Out of curiosity, Alea finally approached the middle-aged woman.
"Excuse me, Mum. What's the matter?" ask Alea to the point.
Instead of answering, the middle-aged woman instead pulled Alea's hand towards the park bench. Maybe he wanted to have a four-eye chat with Alea.
"Son, you must be a good girl. You want to help Auntie?" she asked as she held onto Alea's hands and looked at Alea expectantly.
"What help, Auntie?" Alea's confused.
"Look .. hmm, but before that Aunt introduce yourself to you first huh. Name Aunt, Beautiful Aunt. It just so happens that Auntie has a child who is the same age as you. Well, Aunt's son is sick. At this time Aunt is again looking for a girl who wants to be a sister of Aunt's child," said a middle-aged woman named Ny. Is beautiful.
Alea began to be astonished by Ms.'s story. Is beautiful. Everywhere the sick must be taken to the hospital.
"But Auntie, why wasn't Aunt taken to the hospital?" ask Alea.
"Tante has taken her to the hospital. But Auntie's son is angry and threatens to kill himself if Aunt takes him again to the hospital. Finally Auntie brought him home again" replied Ms. Is beautiful.
Alea was shocked and confused to hear it. I don't know what disease my son suffered. It was beautiful to the point of threatening suicide.
"If you can know what aunty's son is sick? The flu? A cough? A fever? Serious injury? Why don't you ask for a nurse or nurse who's in the hospital?" ask Alea.
"Tante asked the hospital to send a nurse home, but they couldn't."
"Reason?"
"The reason, there was once an incident of a nurse willing to take care of aunty's child. But Auntie's son even threatened to hurt her if the nurse dared to meet and take care of Aunt's child again."
Alea was shocked. It's not a normal problem anymore, it's a serious problem.
I don't know what pain my son is suffering from. Is beautiful. Alea was obviously afraid. He was afraid that if he took care of the beautiful Lady's Son, he was hurt.
'Oh my God, what should I do?'
On one side Alea was scared, on one side also Alea felt sorry for Ny. Is beautiful.
Should Alea accept Ms.'s wishes. Beautiful who wants herself to be a nurse for the child of the beautiful Ms?
"But Auntie, Alea will be working at the Medica pharmacy. So it's also impossible if Alea works at Aunty's house as a sister of Aunt's son," Alea said frankly.
Mrs. Beautiful seemed to start thinking, then she again held onto Alea's hands very tightly.
"Auntie understands that. But Aunt please help Aunt heal Auntie's son. In exchange, Aunty will give you a salary double that of the Medika pharmacy," said Ny. Beautiful with both eyes that have runny.
Alea silence. He is confused as to what to decide.
"Auntie please, son. Help Auntie." Now Ms. It was beautiful to beg Alea with tears.
Truly, Alea could not bear to see a mother crying, especially if she cried while begging him like this.
Alea was less.
"Hmm Auntie, don't cry. If Auntie cries, Alea will go along crying," said Alea, then wipe her tears. Beautiful with her thumb.
"Tante will still beg you, son. Help Aunty," said Mrs. Beautiful, where both hands begin to lift up to be put together.
Alea who saw that shook her head. She didn't want a mother to beg her like that.
"Alright, Auntie will give you time. If you want, please call Auntie. It's Auntie's number."
Mrs. Lovely started taking out the small paper and pen from inside her bag. Then he wrote down the number on the paper, then gave it to Alea.
"Please call Auntie as soon as possible, yes. Auntie hope you're willing to be Aunt's daughter's sister. Aunty will be waiting for you" said Ms. Beautiful with a thin smile.
Alea smiled too. He did not think that Mrs. Beautiful will put great hopes on him, even though he himself is a foreign girl who accidentally passed by.

Right now, Alea was in her room. He has eaten nothing since returning home to work because he thought of what Mrs said. Is beautiful.
Even Alea had not told her Mother and Grandmother about being accepted into the Medika pharmacy.
'Oh my God, what should I do?'
Alea was completely engulfed in confusion. On one hand he was afraid to take care of his son. Beautiful, on the one hand he also felt sorry for Mrs. Beautiful because no woman wants to be a nurse for her child.
"If I'm ready, then my Auntie Lovely son even attacked me again. But if I refuse, it's the same as I hurt the heart of Beautiful Aunt, he placed great hopes on me" said Alea.
"Arghhh, you're really confused." Alea ruffled her hair due to her frustration.
The tring!
Whatsapp message appears from Alea's handpone screen. After he saw it, it turned out to be from Lisa, Alea's best friend.
[Yes, did you get a job?]
[Alhamdulillah accepted. What about you, Lis?]
[Not yet, I'm still alive. I work in a pharmacy.]
[Lo sure you want to work in a pharmacy?]
[Yes rest assured, I want to know what it is like to work in a pharmacy.]
[Then you take over my job. I am sure the owner of the pharmacy will nerima lo, lo it is fast to learn it. Tell the owner of the pharmacy Medika if I quit the job.]
[Lah bentar .. bentar, no wind no rain, suddenly you want me to take over your job. Why?]
[Gue hasn't been able to tell you why. If there is time, I will tell you. And yes, don't tell Adit about this.]
[But yes ..].
Alea quickly deactivated the data so that Lisa would not send her another whatsapp message.
This second, Alea was already able to make a decision. It was also thanks to the message of the late father since childhood that he always remembered until now and until anytime.
'Always remember, my little girl. If someone asks for our help, we should help him. Don't ignore.'
"Okey, now my decision is to be willing to be the sister of the beautiful Aunt. I have to help Auntie Beautiful, no matter what. I can't be scared. I'm a brave girl, on the other hand" Alea said after thinking for a long time.
'Alea, fighting!' Alea cheered herself up.
Without thinking, Alea turned on the phone screen, then sent a regular message on the number Ny. Is beautiful.
[Assalamualaikum, Aunt. It's Alea. It just so happened that Alea could already make a decision. And Alea's decision was to be a nun for Aunt's son.]
Send!
A few minutes, Mrs. Lovely reply Alea's message.
[Valaikumsalam, Aleea. Thank God, Auntie was happy to hear that. Then, tomorrow morning you come to Auntie's house. Aunty will send her address via SMS.]
[Good, Aunt.]
Alea kept her cell phone on the table. Then he rushed to the bed to hug a bear doll that someone special gave him in his heart.
"Geez, why am I so clumsy? Though I haven't been to his house Auntie Indah and met her son, but I've been deg-degan first," Alea grumbled as she touched his chest.
And it felt like his heart was beating faster than inside.
"Yaelahh, it's a hell of a beat when my romantic Adit." Alea grumbled back.
Alea became curious as to what the figure of the child Ny. Is beautiful. Is it going to be scary, as he imagined it to be?
Childly Mrs. Beautiful always threatened and wanted to hurt, surely his figure would be creepy like a crazy monster.
'Ihh, fear.'
