The End of Hope

Epsu 10. Solving the Problem

That morning Naya left for the restaurant escorted by Rudian, her mood was very good now. No significant problems happened during this week. The situation and relationship of the two of them as husband and wife is fine. Walk like running water.

Every human being never knows what will happen in front of him. But every minute that passed was sure to be his past.

Naya kissed her husband's hand as soon as he got off Rudian's matick motorbike, he had arrived in front of the restaurant in time. But the sound of the phone from behind Rudian's pants pocket kept ringing.

"You know, from that moment the phone sounded, why didn't it pick up?" ask Naya before Rudian leaves.

"Leave it. Go awayl. Wait for me yes, I will pick you up if you want to go home," Rudian said before leaving.

Naya just nodded as her eyes continued to stare at her husband's back which was getting farther away.

Meanwhile, after a considerable distance from where Naya was down, Rudian stopped his bike. At that distance, it was impossible for Naya to hear what she was about to talk about. Naya is at the restaurant where she works.

He answered the phone and said, "Wait, I'll pick you up soon. I'll take Naya first."

He paused for a moment to listen, then said again, "Sorry, no problem once too late, hehe."

After he finished talking and the phone was closed, Rudian returned to ride his bike to a place he had agreed with someone.

At the restaurant, Naya returns to work as usual, cleaning and preparing tables, folding tissues, helping with cooking, and serving customers who come.

Lunch time is almost over, the atmosphere of the restaurant has begun to be quiet. When Naya returned to see Yoni and Ares, they were still sitting at one of the tables. It seems they've already finished their lunch. Lately the little boy has not made any trouble, eating quietly and according to his papa. Not to bother Naya.

Naya only occasionally scolds and greets Yoni, hugs him for a while, or just squeezes his lips, on the sidelines of his busyness. So every day, usually he will say hello for a while, after that continue the activity and ignore Ares just like that.

However, today, Naya chatted with Yoni for longer, as it happened that the atmosphere of the restaurant was rather quiet.

"Where are you, school?" greet Naya gently to Yoni. The child was like entertainment to him. For some reason every time at lunchtime Naya always wished for Yoni to come to eat there, and he could joke with her.

The boy nodded, then looked at Naya briefly and returned busy with his toys. Ares seemed to be taking a call. Then turned to look at Naya who was just about to step into the kitchen with a dirty plate in her hand.

"Sorry, are you busy?" ares said, making Naya turn around and look at Ares in wonder. Just a quick glance and a glance was diverted at Yoni.

'What does that mean, obviously I'm busy' Naya.

"What's up, sir, want to add an order?" ask Naya flat.

"No. I'm asking for more help, can't I?" ares asked with a deep sense of unease.

"Solicit me what does that mean?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know who else to ask for help with, it's about Raya at school."

'Seems like a good boy. He's not gonna make a fuss at school, is he?' Naye.

"Why with Raya?" asked Naya while keeping her luggage on one of the empty tables.

"Sorry, actually Raya was called to the guidance office, and her parents had to go there. I have an important meeting now, so... Can I not if I ask for help now?"

'Hey. Kids are important too, right? Even the children only know to be happy and everything goes as usual. And that's your kids. Why should I help you?' Naye.

"Then what about Yoni. Will it be left too?" ask Naya again.

"Oh, no. Yoni let me be the same. I can't leave today's meeting. Unless you're busy."

'Okay, this is just helping others, right? As an obligation between fellow humans only. Not more'

"I'll finish this job. I'll go to Naya's school when I'm done. Where is the High School?"

"On the Pratama road, in the Jewel of the Nation," said Ares while holding Yoni.

'It's a pretty elite school. Where maybe the kids there are troubled'

"I'll get a taxi to pick you up here" Ares said.

"No need, sir. I used to wear an online motorcycle, really."

Ares feels bad for Naya, giving her money in return, will ruin Naya's self-esteem, so it's better she asks Naya to use her car instead. There is a driver who will deliver.

Yes, Ares only needs Naya's energy to help him.

"Then, use my car. Thanks in advance" said Ares.

Naya just nodded slowly. Both men passed from their places.

Ares returns to the office while holding Yoni. He asks someone to be Naya's driver, who will take Naya to a high school.

After Naya finished her work, she asked permission from Nha who was counting money from the cashier drawer. The woman was like a poultice with the busyness of Ares who had to take care of his own two children.

In fact, Ms. Nha really wanted to tell me about this, but Naya seemed to not care because she felt that whoever Ares was, there was no connection with her. So Naya doesn't have to take care of her life, does she?

"Go, be careful." That's all Ms. Nha answered with a smile.

Naya went to high school by using Ares car, there was a driver who drove, of course the driver already knew the high school.

At school, Naya asks the security guard where the guidance room is. The fat man drove him to the front door of the room in question.

"Sorry, who is Raya?" said a beautiful woman who was still quite young greeted Naya as soon as the door opened.

"I, Raya's aunt" replied Naya. He's not lying. She calls him aunt.

"Oh, then where are his parents?" ask the woman.

"Sorry, I was asked to represent because of Raya's parents, they are busy?"

"busy. It's always the reason for the parents, who don't care about their children" said the woman without noticing Naya's visibly irritated facial expression. He agreed with the woman.

"Please enter, I am the guidance teacher of the Kingdom. I'm Saras" said the woman introducing herself, and they shook hands.

"My name is Naya," Naya said as she stared at Raya.

The girl was also looking back at herself with a strange look, wondering also not understand, why could Naya who was there to help her. Then where's the papa?

Raya was standing in the corner of the room, as if she was being punished. But strangely, there was no sadness or fatigue on his face.

"What's the matter with my niece, Ms Saras?" naya asked as she sat in front of Saras separated by a table.

"Did Naya live at home with Raya? Do you know how he behaves and behaves on a daily basis?"

'O Allah, I must lie this time. Why am I stuck in this kind of trouble?'

"Actually what's the matter, once I am a good child." said Naya chose the right word without having to lie.

"This. Explain why Raya can have it, if indeed he is a good child according to mbak," said Saras seriously.

'This is the contraceptive pill, right? Yes, it is impossible ... Why would a child his age have something like this?'

Saras looked at Naya. A cold gaze as cold as polar ice. Checking the honesty of the two people in front of him, Naya and Raya.
