The Child Ignored
lovely loved



Since Andi and her family lived together, Riko is now not lonely anymore, especially Bu Isti treats Riko as he treats Andi. Riko is happy, being able to feel the affection of the parents again, even though from people who might initially pity her.


Riko also called Mr. Umar as Father and Bu Isti as Mother. Pak Umar and Bu Isti even agreed to make Riko their adopted son. And Riko was happy because now he felt he had a complete family.


Now every morning Riko does not have to bother buying side dishes to stalls across the street, because Bu Isti always provides breakfast menu for his family as well as for Riko, because Isti always provides breakfast menu for his family, they are now considered part of their family.


The house and the surroundings become clean and beautiful, indeed the hands of a mother are valuable, she can create a comfortable and beautiful atmosphere to make who sees and is in a place to be at home.


Before leaving for college, Riko delivered Bu Isti first to the house of mbak Niken who was at the end of the alley. He then returned home and went to college with Andi.


One major, even one class, it's so much fun. Moreover, Andi is an outstanding student, Riko feels too lucky to be able to be with Andi and her family.


Every time you go home from college, food is available, even dirty clothes have all been washed clean and folded neatly in the closet.


Really new things experienced by Riko, since his grandmother died and he lived in the farm house owned by Mr. Danu, he was used to taking care of all his own needs, he was used to take care of all his own needs, but now Bu Isti willingly takes care of all his personal needs. Riko is moved by Andi's parents' affection for her.


Tonight Riko will get her salary for a month at the Japanese restaurant where she works, Riko plans to give some to Bu Isti to buy household necessities.


When he reached home and Bu Isti was asleep because the clock had pointed to lift ten passes, Riko decided to give it tomorrow. And Riko chose to immediately rest her body.


A bright morning as bright as Riko's face that looks sparkling. Maybe because today will be the first day for him to give his hard-earned money to the figure of the old man who takes care of it. Pleasure, sadness, pride mixed into one, but happiness was much more radiated from the aura of his body.


As usual, Riko was preparing to go to college. And now sitting sweetly eating a delicious breakfast with Pak Umar, Bu Isti, and Andi. A truly harmonious family picture.


" Buk, Riko has something for mom" said Riko after finishing her breakfast first.


" what son?" ask Bu Isti.


" this is Buk, please accept yes. This is Riko's salary money working in a Japanese restaurant for one month, and Riko has also taken some of the coke. You can use this money to buy the needs of the house" said Riko back while handing the brown envelope to Bu Isti.


"Son Riko, why was the money given to my mother? this is the money for Riko" said Bu Isti softly


" yes son Riko, you better save this money for your needs" Mr. Umar chimed in his wife's words.


" but buk, sir, Riko is sincere"


"father knows you want to be sincere, and we are also sincerely born inwardly making you our child,"


" but sir, Riko please accept this money yes, Riko has long dreamed of being able to have parents and can give Riko's hard-earned money to Riko's parents. Pak Umar and Bu Isti have Riko considered Riko's parents now. So Riko please accept this money as a form of gratitude and respect Riko to you"


But Bu Isti plans to save the money and will give it back to Riko when he needs it in the future.


Riko was happy because his good intentions were accepted by Bu Isti, even though he had to sit first, but in fact the money has now been received by BU Isti.


With a happy heart and a smile Riko passed through today. It felt all tired and the difficulty became meaningless when the mood was so beautiful.


Pak Umar and Bu Isti were amazed by the figure of Riko, a boy who was claimed to be prematurely mature. Working and studying tirelessly, they feel sorry for parents who have thrown away such a proud child like Riko. What a very bad parent.


Pak Umar already knows all the stories of Riko, because on the sidelines of empty time usually Riko and Andi and Pak Umar and Bu Isti will talk casually to just make warmth in the house they live in.


Mr. Umar is sure, that Riko will be able to succeed and become a successful person. Seeing how persistent his efforts have been.


Although in religious Riko still often perforated in prayer, but since the presence of Pak Umar and his family, now Riko began to improve his worship.


The influence of parents is very significant. Lucky Riko is not a stupid person, Riko is a submissive child.


Regarding the owner of a farm subscription restaurant where Mr. Umar is now scavenging for fortune which incidentally is Riko's biological father, Pak Umar also already knows. It even suggested to Riko to reintroduce herself to her biological father.


But Riko refused, Riko was not ready. He didn't want to repeat the incident the other day. Can't feel it anymore. Which Riko wanted, only Haris, the owner of the restaurant with three branches, remembered who he was. If you don't remember, then let it go. Let all flow like water flowing down the length of the river.

It did not feel like a month already Riko and Andi also both his parents live. Pak Umar and Andi have a desire to open an angkringan business with a menu of various chicken preparations.


Riko who heard was happy, and welcomed the intention. But before the business began, Mr. Umar wanted to meet with Mbak Niken first as the real owner of the farm.


In the morning after cleaning the cage and feeding the chickens, Mr. Umar went to meet his mother Niken at home.


"assalamualaikum "


"wa'alaikumsalam" said a middle-aged woman who was none other than his wife. Because Bu Isti works at home mbak Niken helps clean the house from morning to evening. But during the day go home for a while to prepare lunch for the family at home.


"what is it, sir?" ask Bu Isti to her husband


"want to meet with mbak Niken, want to talk about the business that you have planned together Andi last night"


"ooo yes, I call you. Sit first sir" After allowing her husband to sit, Bu Isti went back into the house to call Mbak Niken
