POV Author

Year passed.

Riding on a red motorcycle, the woman in uniform arrived at the Memories Cafe. The cafe is located next to the Nusa Jaya Campus. This cafe is the only one around the campus. Students often drink, eat or just hang out here.

The 30-year-old woman was standing on a fence that was left open, as if the fence wanted to welcome anyone who wanted to visit her.

"Mother Mia!" greet one of the employees who looks new coming.

The woman named Mia smiled. His eyes looked around him again. The chair was neatly arranged on the outside. There are five groups of chairs that each surround a table made of pieces of wood, which have been in lacquer, artistically. As the owner wishes.

Still on the front, there is a group of teenagers who have been ready with their musical instruments. They play without paying, only on the basis of mutual benefit. Distribution of hobbies that are satisfied with the availability of musical instruments from the cafe.

Mia parked her motorbike on the outside of the fence, there were many vehicles parked neatly. He steps up with a smile that always expands on his face. There was no longer the inner pressure he had been feeling. During this year there were many memories that he had made a lesson.

"Mother, why are you standing there? smiles from earlier, then enter the table Mom!"

The employee who was wearing the same blue uniform, laughed looking at him.

Mia laughed, "No college today?"

"Sir Ma'am, the lecturer didn't come in, just sent the assignment."

The employee answered Mia's question, his hand still working wiping the table the customer had just left.

"Ooh that's it."

"Yes Mom, I'm in, that's the chair already set up."

The employee laughed again and pointed at the high chair in the corner of the cafe.

"There's no one there?" mia asked laughing.

"No, that's specifically what we're preparing for Mom."

"All right, thank you!"

Mia headed for the high chair. He used to joke with all the employees in this cafe. From his seat, he could see the bustle of cafe employees delivering orders to customers. He smiled proudly again.

"It's a drink for Mom, from that smile, just so scared."

The employee put a drink on his front desk. Then he stood beside Mia.

"Mother dong's story, why keep smiling?"

"I remember the journey until I got to this point. Much love his pain, but more tears."

"Now you must be happy, have a cafe rame like this?"

"Alhamdulillah, all are grateful. Maybe this is the answer to the prayer I've been saying."

"We're happy to work here. We are so grateful."

"Sama-sama. You guys all helped me make this cafe go forward."

"If there was no mother, I might have quit college. Lucky I read need employees here, let alone the terms are easy and funny, just ask for proof of family can not afford."

The employee recalls the beginning of his entry into work here. All the employees here are students who cannot afford it. There is no requirement of work experience, as Mia provides time to give them experience. He always participated in processing food and drinks that he had learned before venturing to establish this cafe.

The cafe he founded from his savings money so far. Plus the Bonus from Tian the moment he stopped.

"That's your last pay plus the sales bonus I ever promised." A message from Tian.

Tian did not accept it when he wanted to return it as he felt unworthy of it.

"Don't refuse my money because you just rejected my heart," he still remembered Tian's remark back then.

Finally from the capital money and a lot of work experience, Mia opened a small cafe that she named Memories of Cafe. He wants to remember everything here.

"Mamaa...."

"Hi darling... My mom's kids are home. How was school?"

Mia's children scattered into her arms.

"What did you learn in school?"

"Learn multiplication, said the teacher must memorize. Multiplication 1 to 3."

"Sana you memorized first! mom test ya later!"

Dika smiled at his mother, "Ready Ma."

"Well, what did this beautiful Mama kid learn?"

"Don't be sure, just sing."

"Singing what? Mama wants to hear."

My bayon is yima

Yupa-yupa wayna

Green, cuning telabu

Meyah Young and Biyu

Green bayon meyetus, dooor

My heart is very tacau

My bayon is four

Kiyah who is still slurred looks funny singing it.

"Mama, Papa's coming home, right?"

Dika approached him again.

"When doain dong Papa's work is quickly completed. So Papa can come home soon."

"If Papa comes home, Dika wants to take Papa to the zoo."

"Tante Wulan can come?"

Suddenly Wulan was standing at the door.

"From your work on getting people."

Mia's words were met with laughter from Wulan, she immediately kissed Mia's right and left cheeks, then Dika and Kiyah's cheeks.

"Tante Wulan can't come. Aunty Wulan pegi same oom aja," said Dika while putting on his pouting face.

"Oom's busy. Don't take Aunt for a walk. Aunt Wulan is coming! May it be Pliss!!!"

"OK deh. Can."

"Yes, Aunt Wulan boyeh is coming."

Said Dika and Kiyah together. Can't bear to see the face of Wulan who asked for mercy. Mia smiled at the closeness of her children with Wulan.

"Tante has a gift. Who wants to??"

Wulan showed off the box she had wrapped. Dika and Kiyah scramble to take it from Wulan's hands. " We open in the yuk!" Invite Wulan into the room provided for family rest.

"Assalamualaikum, dear."

"Mas, is it coming?! Why don't you ask to pick me up."

Mia kissed her husband's hand. Take the bag the man was holding and put it on the table.

"Willful....Give me a surprise."

"Kids, this is Papa Pu...."

"Sstt....I still miss my mother's children. After that it's his son."

"Mas, shame on ya!"

"Why embarrassed? My own wife!"

The man released his kisses to all of Mia's faces, none of which escaped her kiss. Mia finally retorted because she felt the same longing. Lucky in that room again. This afternoon customers usually prefer to sit outside, because there is a music dish that can be requested while enjoying the wind.

Employees who accidentally look directly away, let their bosses let each other miss. None of them were seen, making this couple more satisfied to let go of the longing that exists.

"Heee-eemmm."

Wulan shows up with the kids. He laughed looking towards Mia who was pouting towards him.

"Why? Angry huh? Haaaha....That's why you don't make love in public. Hahhaha," Laughter Wulan was satisfied.

"Papa.... A walk!"

"Yes.jayan-jayan, Pa."

Said Dika and Kiyah compact.

"Later Dika Kiyah, pity her Papa is still tired," said Mia persuaded her children.

The man then hugged Dika and Kiyah alternately.
