Stepchildren



Stay Riko with Bu Rima and Haris' third child with Rima named Elis, but the little boy was still very good under the covers, because it was still morning, and the new clock pointed at 06.50. Both of her siblings had left for school to be escorted by a driver.


Haris' marriage to Rima had three children, the first Son of 11 years, Arya 9 years and Elis 3 years. Riko is now 13 years old.


"what's your name?" ask Bu Rima


"Rich"


"emm, aren't you in school?"


"no ma'am, my grandmother didn't have any money for me to go to school"


"how old are you?"


"13year"


"ouh, so you're here to ask to go to school with your father?"


"no, but because grandma is dead, and I have no one else in the village, so that's why I'm here followed the father"


"how do you know that your father lives here?"


"from the letter you sent, right when your grandmother died"


Bu Rima seemed to think, but not for how long back to sound.


"oh that, you have now brought your bag to the back room, near the kitchen" said Bu Rima, pointing at the kitchen


"well ma'am, then excuse me"


Riko passed to the place that her stepmother had pointed at earlier, and when she arrived in the kitchen she was confused, because there were two rooms. Amidst his concern he saw a middle-aged woman washing the furniture. Slowly Riko walked over to ask about the room she was going to occupy.


"excuse me auntie" bi Ela who felt someone calling her turned her head.


"yeah yeah, aden call aunty?" tannya


"yes, I want to ask you aunty. Do you know where I can go?"


"room? sorry if I can tell who?"


"i am Riko, Mr. Haris' son. I just came from the village"


"Riko, what are you doing? I just asked you to make it your stuff in the room yes, not even cool to talk like that"


"sorry Mom, Riko apologizes. Riko was only confused to put it in a room where, because there were two rooms, Riko was going to ask her aunt, but the mother hunt came"


"just reason, now you put that bag in your left room, after that you flush it the plant in front. Bi Ela please lead him later, yes, he will help here"


"yes ma'am"


Riko rushed towards the room appointed by her mother. A room with a small bed that only fit one person and there is a small closet also a mirror. But the room looks better and more comfortable than the place in the first place that only sleeps on the hall with a hard mattress. She laid her small body on a soft mattress and felt very comfortable. Either because of tired or too comfortable Riko instead fell asleep.


Fifteen minutes later, but there was no sound from inside the room, Ms. Ela tried to look through the door that was not closed tightly. He saw Riko sleeping with a face that looked so tired, could not bear to wake him, finally he let Riko sleep, because he knew must be tired from the trip from the village.


Not long ago came Bu Rima with Elis.


"loh bi, where's the kid?"


"Riko meant mom?"


"yes"


"so I saw him fall asleep in the room, probably tired of the journey from the village to here"


"be told to water the plants and sleep, please auntie wake him up"


"well mom"


Bi Ela and Riko are now in front of Bu Rima


"Riko, you here it's just a ride yes, do not carelessly you are here, just came to sleep, I was told you to make a crop, why even sleep? remember, you're here to help. Your job is nyepu, mengepel sam a cleanin it's a page, flush the plants, don't you know?"


"yes ma'am, Riko knows"


"wait especially, now do it, and you bi, don't let him eat if he hasn't done it all"


"yes Ma'am"


Riko's days there nothing changed, waking up early he had to clean the house and yard and would only get a meal if his job was done, Haris as his father also let his wife's treatment of his son. Because Haris does not want there to be a commotion in his family.
