That morning, as usual, Esha woke up early to fulfill his duty as a Muslim. After the Fajr prayer with her mother, Esha went to the kitchen to cook.
"Mom, I'll rest in my room! Let Esha cook," Esha told his mother.
"No dear, I'm healed. Let me help you cook, okay?" said Bu Dahlia while smiling at her beloved daughter.
"Alright, if you insist," said Esha.
They also started cooking together. Esha is very good at cooking, she is down to her mother's talent. Because his mother was a cook at a catering place.
For three days, her mother did not go to work because she was sick. Since his father died, his mother has been ill. Esha knew her mother was working hard for her college expenses. Every day his mother went home late in the morning because she wanted to see Esha become a scholar. But Esha could not bear to see her mother who often sick and her body getting thinner. So Esha decided to quit college.
"Oh, baby, I'm gonna go to work. I'm healthy" said Ms. Dahlia.
"Are you sure?" ask Esha to make sure.
"Mother sure, I'm bored at home" said Ms. Dahlia reassured her daughter.
"It's up to mom."
Esha could only obey her mother's will.
"Tomorrow if Esha has gotten a job, I don't have to tire of working anymore. Esha doesn't want me to be sick anymore" Esha said, hugging her mother from behind.
"Esha loves Mom." Esha peeped at her mother's cheek.
"Mom loves you too, son."
After she finished cooking, Esha and her mother cleaned up and had breakfast together. After breakfast, Dahlia leaves for the catering.
"Mother go first, dear. Assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumsalam, the heart of Ma'am. Don't overtime!" edict Esha.
After her mother left, Esha cleaned the house, washed dishes and clothes.
The cling!
Esha's phone rang. Whatsapp message from Rosi.
{ Esha you're home again? I'm going to play at your house. }
{ I'm at Ros's house, come here. }
{ Okay, I brought my aunt! }
{ Okay, see you. }

Half an hour later ....
Gts ... Gts ... Gts ....
Rosi knocked on Esha's door several times.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Esha" Rosi said.
Chequek!
Esha opened the door.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, enter Ros, Auntie!" said Esha.
Rosi and Aunt Erna came in.
"Please sit down Ros, Auntie! I made you drink, yes" said Esha.
"Not bother Sha" Rosi said.
"No hassle, just a minute, yeah" Esha chimps then walks into the kitchen.
A few minutes later Esha came up with a tray containing three cups of warm tea and cake.
"Please drink Ros, Auntie! Cakes tasted! It's my own cake" Esha said.
"Yes thanks Sha, pinter you make a cake," said Rosi.
"Mother who taught" said Esha.
"Oh yeah your mom where's Sha? Is he still sick?" ask Rosi later.
"Mom has entered work again at the Ros catering place, he said it was better earlier," replied Esha.
"Oohh .. thank God," said Rosi.
Aunt Erna who had been silent since then suddenly opened her voice,
"Oh yes son Esha, we mean to come here to nawarin you work, you want to not work in Jakarta with aunt Rosi as well?"
"It just so happens that aunty boutique still has Sha vacancies, if you want. The salary is good, you can also continue your studies in Jakarta," added Rosi.
"Will you be able to work while you're in college Ros?" esha asked with a sigh after hearing that she could work while continuing her lecture again.
"But Esha has no aunt's work experience, let alone a boutique," said Esha.
"No pa-pa, then let Aunty and Rosi teach. You stay waiting for a boutique really, easy," aunt Erna's dream is more convincing Esha.
"Later Esha tried to ask permission from her mother first Ros, aunt," said Esha.
"Okey, Sha, you ask your mother for permission! Reassure him that this is for your future! When else can you work while you are in college? The opportunity did not come twice Sha," Rosi assured Esha.
After talking for a long time, Rosi and Aunt Erna also came home.

That night ....
The clock shows at 6pm when Dahlia's mom comes home. Esha waited for her mother on the porch.
"Assalamu'alaikum, I'm coming home dear."
"Wa'alaikumsalam, I'm overtime, how come I just got home?"
"Yes, a lot of orders, dear."
"Mom, Esha said, I don't have to overtime. Esha doesn't want me to be sick anymore" Esha said with an anxious look.
"No dear, I'm fine" said Dahlia to Esha's comfort.
Then they went into the house. Esha prepared dinner while Dahlia went to clean up. After performing the Maghrib prayer, they ate together.
"Mom was Rosi, Esha High School friend came along with her aunt. They nawarin Esha working in Jakarta. Is Esha allowed to work in Jakarta ma'am?" esha asked her mother after she finished eating.
"Director? What work is in Jakarta, dear? Do you want to leave Mom alone?"
Ms. Dahlia was surprised to hear her daughter was willing to work for the capital to leave her.
"Working in a boutique, Mom. Tanteenya Rosi has a boutique in Jakarta. They say Esha can work while studying ma'am. If you don't go, Esha won't go."
Bu Dahlia was silent for a moment digesting the words of her beloved daughter.
"Actually the heavy mother must part with you dear." Ms. Dahlia began to shed tears, sadness on her face.
"But if it's for your future, I'll let you darling. I want you to be able to achieve your goals," said Ms. Dahlia while sobbing.
"Believe Mom, Esha promised I'd make you proud of Esha."
Esha could not hold back her tears. Esha approached her mother and hugged her mother tightly.

Rosi grabbed her phone. It was a call from Esha. As fast as lightning Rosi answered him.
Esha: "Assalamu'alaikum, Ros."
Rosi: "Va'alaikumsalam. How Sha, have you asked your mother for permission?"
Esha: "Udah Ros, thank you mother ngijinin."
Rosi: "Okey Sha, I'll say to Aunt Erna. Let him book the ticket. Oh yes Sha, we leave Saturday by train from Klaten station. I'll tell you again when I get the ticket."
Esha: "Okey, Ros."
Rosi: "Yes, I've closed it, yes, assalamu'alaikum."
Esha: "Wa'alaikumsalam."

'Fish also into the trap, ' Rosi said in her heart while smiling with satisfaction.
