Hand Overlay

Mr. Danu took Riko to his house, where Riko was welcomed by Mr. Nana Pak Danu's wife.

" Ashloraikum"

" Waalaikumsalam, have you been home sir?"

"yes Ma'am"

" Who is this sir?"

" Oh this is Riko Bu, the son who was once the father of the story"

" Ooo, is this Mr whose name is Riko? you got a handsome boy?" he said as he reached out "introduce, Nana's mother's name, you can call Ms. Nana"

Riko returned Bu Nana's hand and introduced himself, yes even though Mr. Danu had already known him before "i am Riko Bu"

"Mom, aren't we allowed to enter this first?" sergeant Mr. Danu.

"hehehe yes sir, why did you forget, come sir, son Riko, enter first, we continue to talk inside"

Mr. Danu and Riko stepped in, and sat in the wooden chair in the guest room, while Bu Nana immediately sauntered the kitchen making drinks and also brought snacks for his guests.

Before long Ms. Nana came to bring drinks and snacks. After putting her on the table, she sat down next to her husband.

" Riko, drink first son" said Ms. Nana

"yes Ma'am"

Mr. Danu who had been silent had now started to open his voice.

"Riko, sorry before. If you may know Riko earlier why alone terminal?"

" Riko was the same as Riko's father, but he went to buy a ticket"

" buy a ticket? where are you going?"

" only Riko Pak wants to go, Riko's father asks Riko to go home"

" loh, didn't you say in the village did you not have a brother?"

"yes sir, but here my father's wife does not want to accept me"

" continue if you get to the village you want to live with who?"

" alone sir"

"alone?" ask Danu and Bu Nana in unison.

"yes"

"Oh Allah, son, rather than being alone in the village, there are no brothers how about you stay here just like us" said Bu Nana "maybe sir?" ask her husband.

"but, does Riko Tasik trouble you if you have to stay here?"

" of course not son" replied Miss Nana

" well, Riko will stay here, but allow Riko to work Mr. Ma'am"

"worked? what's son for?" ask Miss Nana

"Riko wants to continue school"

"yes, if that's what you want, I have a chicken farm, if you want, you can work there"

"you want, Riko wants. In the past, Riko also worked as a goat herder owned by Riko's neighbors, thank you very much sir, ma'am. Riko is very lucky to be reunited with people as good as you guys"

" now that Riko's taking a break, I'll show you her room"

...****************...

"the room is nice, ma'am"

"this is the mother's child's room, her name is Niken, she lives in a boarding school, so her room is not used, for a while you can occupy this room first"

"but ma'am, what if Niken comes home?"

"Niken will only come home during the semester break, so you calm down, later if you have Niken home, you can stay in the mess that is near the father's farm, he said, there are 3 people who occupy"

"in that case, Riko stayed there, Mom, how? can't you?"

"but..."

"Riko beg Mom, because Riko will also work on the farm, so it's better for Riko to stay with them"

"you just ask the father, what is fine"

"well ma'am, Riko excuse me,"

Riko returned to the guest room to see Mr. Danu who still enjoyed his coffee.

"Sir, sorry in advance, is it okay if Riko lives with the father's employees on the farm?"

"why indeed?"

"Riko doesn't feel good, sir, Riko is also a worker like them, when they live in mess and Riko at the house of his lawyer"

"if that's your decision, you'll take you to the farm in the afternoon, but now you rest here"

"alright sir, thank you very much"
