"sir Roni said permission not to enter the office" adel greeted the father of his former best friend when he met in the office lobby.
"iya bu adel, you used to want permission for a day, but the schedule of morning siska control so you can still leave for half a day" replied Roni politely.
"it's actually okay sir if you want a day's permit too"
"but later my work piled up ma'am" when the real reason is that Roni did not want to meet siska in the house, today her mood is not okay, she said,
"y'm up to you"
roni just smiled, terbesit envy to his late boss, Riki Agasta. not envy because Riki is a businessman, but envious despite living with a rich treasure but does not make it arrogant and have an extraordinary child. never arbitrarily towards others, even without the upbringing of a mother.
"how is siska?"
"it's better, but it still can't walk"
"patience sir, I hope things get better soon"
"Aamiin, thank you adel"
"excuse me first sir"
☆☆☆
"why long deck?" tanya shanum was so adel up to the parking lot.
"so I met Roni"
"he said permission"
"yes, but finally leave half a day, afraid of tomorrow's work" he said"
shanum just ber oh ria.
"where were we?" adel asked as soon as he got into the shanum car.
"address to the old brother"
"sister still remembers"
"well, just vaguely, I hope to see you"
shanum runs his car into his old home address, armed only with memories that are no longer perfect.
"have you permission dev deck?" ask shanum
"had calmed down, I'm the wife of Sholehah wherever the husband should permit even though he went without a husband"
"it should be" replied shanum briefly.
after a long journey, it almost took two hours they finally reached their main destination.
"this is my house?" ask adel curious.
"remember brother is the deck"
"just as you can remember, that means brother shanum is not sure"
"i think this is his house"
"but as uninhabited"
adel observes the building as it has long been abandoned by its inhabitants.
seen from the paint that has peeled off, grass grows everywhere, and also dry leaf litter that scattered like never cleaned.
"excuse me ma'am, can you?" shanum wanted to try asking one of the passersby.
"yes, please, what's wrong?"
"do you know the owner of this house?"
"no, but I know a little bit of the story"
"can you tell me something you know about the owner of this house?"
then the woman recounted the incident eleven years ago, in which the son of the owner of this house left the house for fear of being the victim of his father, while the husband was imprisoned on the charge of KDRT, which he was accused of, his own wife is not known whereabouts, because when found unconscious residents immediately bring the nearest clinic, the,
"maybe more clearly can ask Mr. RW, because he takes care of everything" the woman ended her story and suggested to meet Mr. RW.
"can you take us there?"
"sorry if you know what it is, what does it mean to have a relationship?"
"it's okay if you don't want to tell a story, later you can tell the same Mr. RW only" the woman again said when she saw a doubtful look on Shanum's face.
shanum who felt bad just nodded and smiled.
"assalamu'alaikum" the woman said her greetings after arriving at the house of Mr. RW.
quiet, no answer from within.
the woman, whose name is known as alma, repeated her greeting.
after three times, a greeting came from within.
"wa'alaikumsalam" said one woman as she opened the door.
"mom alma, what's wrong?" ask the wife of RW sir
"sorry mom Desi I drove these two children to meet Mr. RW, are you home?"
ms. Desi turned her gaze to her two guests like asking, Who?
"sorry ma'am introduce me shanum and this is my sister Adel" shanum who understands the meaning of the gaze bu desi immediately introduced himself.
"well shanum nak adel, please enter first, not good to talk in front of the door" finally shanum and adel follow bu desy into the house, and sit in the sofa after welcome.
"sorry ma'am excuse me first" said ma'am alma
"yes ma'am, please" said ma'am desi
"thank you mom for driving us" shanum said thank you. Ms. Alma just nodded and smiled.
shanum actually still remembers a little about bu desy because at that time he was fifteen years old, enough age to remember someone's face, but Shanum did not want to say anything.
"sorry shanum what is necessary?" ask missi after alma's gone.
"do you think Missi doesn't know me?" instead of answering shanum, she asked back.
bu desy was silent for a moment to notice the familiar face of Shanum.
"it seems familiar, but I forgot"
"do you know where mommy is now?" ask shanum without further ado.
'mira' inner bu desi, hearing the word mira is called bu desi like remembering something.
"maybe you ... "bu desi did not continue his words.
"yes, my true mother sani putri bu mira" as understood what would be asked by bu desi shanum immediately replied.
"God, Sani you, this is really you" desi ma'am like not believing that the woman sitting in front of him is a little girl who used to want to be made a debt-redeemer by her own father.
sani smiled and nodded.
"so pretty" your mom would be proud to have a girl as pretty as you.
hearing the word mother called, shanum returned moody.
"do you know where my mother is?"
"mom doesn't know exactly where, but last time I met your mother she said she wanted to go home"
"home town?" shanum asked confused, he had never heard his mother mention his hometown at all.
'do you never look for me' Inner shanum pilu.
"actually your mother was looking for you, but did not meet, so your mother chose to go home, for fear that your father would come out of prison and then harm him again" like shanum's disillusioned look, ms. Desi told me a little about her mother who had been looking for shanum.
"do you know where my mother's village is?"
"he said he lived in the middle of Java" then bu desi gave his full address in the form of writing.
shanum who had never heard of the area stared at in confusion, there was a doubt he would look there, then what if he had gone all the way to central Java but did not meet.
"we look for kak" adel clasped shanum's hand strengthen "we must find it" adel continued back.
"alright" replied shanum briefly.
"thank you mom for helping, and sorry for interrupting the break time of bu desi" shanum said thank you and apologized.
"sama-sama nak sani, I'm happy to be able to help, hopefully make things easier"
"Aamiin, thanks again, we'll excuse you" shanum and adel say goodbye and greet the missus.
