Bening's mom curled up at the patrol post. Covering his body with a blanket because of the rain that was not so heavy, now getting heavier. Until Bening's mother felt cold because of the wall of the patrol post that was only one meter high.

A girl wearing an umbrella approached the patrol post, and was surprised to see someone at the patrol station. The girl doesn't know if anyone's at the patrol. The position of Bening's sleeping mother curled up was invisible because it was blocked by the wall.

"Is he the new madman?"muttered the girl seemed hesitant to take shelter and sit at the patrol post.

"Eh, Son. Wanna shelter? Come here!"said Ibu Bening friendly.

"I.iya,"that girl stepped closer to the patrol post. The girl looked a little scared.

"Don't be afraid! You're not a crazy person, you are!"said mother Bening with a smile. The middle-aged woman sat down and grabbed her blanket.

Ibu Bening knows, if in rural areas often find crazy people who shelter even overnight at the patrol post. Therefore, Bening's mother knew why the girl seemed hesitant and afraid to be close to her.

While the girl chose to take shelter at the patrol post because if desperate to continue the journey in the middle of this heavy rain, her body would definitely be soaked, considering that she only wears a small umbrella.

"Mother was born and raised in this village. But mother left this village after mother got married" Bening's mother said so that the girl would not be afraid of him. And Bening's mother's guess was right, after Bening's mother said that, the girl did not seem to be afraid of Bening's mother anymore.

"Why do you sleep at the patrol station?"ask the girl to be brave.

"Mother lives in the city, but the mother's husband and daughter are called first. So I decided to go back to this village to live with my sister and niece in our parents' house. But in fact, the mother's sister and sister-in-law did not allow the mother to stay with them. From this afternoon, I was looking for a house that I could contract with, so I could have a place to stay. But until it's dark, I haven't found it. Finally I was forced to sleep in this patrol post," said Bening's mother looks sad.

"What if you just stay in my house?"ask the girl suddenly.

"Eh, no need! Thanks for your good intentions, son.Mom doesn't want to disturb your family. Mom stay here. Tomorrow I'll find a place to stay" said Bening's mother did not want to be expelled for the third time. His own biological sister does not allow himself to live together in the house of their parents, let alone others. That's what's in Bening's mother's heart.

"Mom don't have to be afraid of my family being distracted. Because my family no longer exists. I live alone in the house, "that girl put on a forced smile because she remembered her true self. .

"Eh, you live alone?"ask Bening's mom to make sure.

"Yes, Mom. If you want, you can stay with me. I'd be happy if I didn't stay home alone anymore. But. If you don't want to, I'm not forcing either. Because my house is just a shack. However, I suggest, tonight mom just stay at my house, rather than stay at this patrol post. If you don't feel at home in my house, tomorrow you can find a home for your mother to live in, "a girl who feels sorry to see a middle-aged woman like Bening's mother have to stay at the patrol station.

"All right, thank you, son. I'll stay at your house tonight" said Mrs Bening with a smile.

"Thank you, Mom. Then, I'll go to the stall for a second, yeah, Mom! Mom, wait here! After buying food, I'll come back here again" said the girl when she saw the rain had started to subside.

"Alright," said Bening's mother with a faint smile.

The girl then got up from her seat and left Bening's mother at the patrol station alone.

"Will he really come back here and take me to his house?"muttered Bening's mother who did not feel sure the girl would come back again to approach her.

Mother Bening let out a long sigh staring at the girl who was walking further and further away from her. Remembering her who today was expelled by her sister and sister-in-law. Though he also had the right to live in the house, because the house was the inheritance of their parents.

Mother Bening returned to lay her body that felt tired. Closing his eyes under the blanket. The blanket is very useful because it can dispel the cold because of the effects of rain that until now has not stopped. Even though the rain today is not as hard as before.

A few minutes later.

"You're really back?"mother asked Bening to smile when she saw the girl back.

"Yes. Come on, let's go to my house! The rain also stopped. I'm the one with mom's suitcase. I'll just bring this bag!"said the girl with a smile decorating her lips.

"No need! Let me just bring it," said Bening's mother is not feeling well.

Because Bening's mother didn't want her suitcase brought, the girl didn't want to force it either. Considering they had just met, it was possible that the middle-aged woman had not believed in him yet. That's what's on the girl's mind.

Not long after, they had arrived in front of a house whose walls were made of woven bamboo. A house not too big. With lighting that is not too bright.

"Come, come in, Mom! Sorry, my house is ugly. If you want to stay here with me, I'll be happy. But if you don't want to, I won't force it either" she said, guiding Bening's mother into her home.

"Thank you, son!"said Bening's mom followed the girl.

Inside the house was only a living room with bamboo chairs. Two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom are located near the kitchen. The girl showed the room to Clear's mother. The room in which there was only a one-door cabinet that looked long ago, and a small cot made of bamboo.

After showing Bening's mother's room, the girl invited Bening's mother back to the guest room.

"Mother stay here for a minute!"the girl rushed to the kitchen.

Bening's mother frowned looking at the crackle bag on the table. The bag that the girl brought after coming back to him at the patrol post earlier.

Soon the girl returned, and sat down on one of the chairs in the living room.

"I bought two packs of rice. Come on, eat first, Mom! Sorry, eat it in the living room. Because I don't have a dining room, let alone a dining table" said the girl chuckling. Carry plastic plate and thin stainless spoon. A dozen spoonfuls might only cost seven thousand rupiahs.

Bening's mother was increasingly moved to get the attention of the girl. Even her daughter Bening had never noticed herself like this girl.

"Oh yes, my name is Rengganis. Just call Anis whose mother's name?"said the girl introduced herself as well as asked the name of Bening's mother.

"Name of Ningsih's mother,"that Bening's mother smiled faintly.

After a little chat, they finally entered their respective rooms. Mother Bening or we just say her name, Ningsih's mother looked at the box that Nando left on the driver earlier for her.

"What's in this box that Nando boy gave me?"mumbling Bening's mother then picked up the box and slowly opened the box. The middle-aged woman saw several boxes arranged inside the box as well as a brown envelope.

"Geez!"said Ibu Bening when he saw the contents of the envelope.
