The Love of the Sinner

S2. Need a Curse Place

Season 2 begins. I'm sorry I even made Ning Annisa's novel, first. Let my brain not weigh 🤭. Ning Annisa's story was light and did not become a burden of mind😁. Actually I have nyicil this novel even though it was only 3 chapters last month, but the file did not meet. It turns out that during yesterday's month's error the file cannot be opened 😓.

Season 2 begins when Alvan only finds out that Aulia is the woman he hit first. Hope you guys like it.

Chapter 81

Alvan felt very stressed when he knew that the woman he had been hit by was Aulia. He doesn't even want to do anything. Aulia's desk was recently abandoned by its owner. He also felt unable to work, as his mind was now in a state of chaos.

'A-kh, what should I do?'

Alvan grabbed her own hair. He also moved from the chair he often sat in while working. The man went in search of something that could give his heart and mind peace.

The place that Alvan went to was an orphanage that raised hafidz. The children who live here are not all children who have no parents. There are also people who still have a mother, but do not have a father who can provide a living and protection to him. Many poor children want to go to school but have no money. The average household orphanage is inhabited by children aged 4 years to 18 years. 

The couple, the owners of this orphanage, separated between a boy and a girl. They live in different buildings. The house on the right is occupied by boys and the building on the left is occupied by girls.

Alvan now looks at a simple but comfortable building. This is the third time he has come here. The first meeting with Mr. Hasan at the mosque while attending the study amazed the figure of the old man.

"Assalamualaikum," greeted someone and made Alvan surprised.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," replied Alvan.

"Sister Alvan tumben early in the morning has come here, does it not work?" ask a woman who wears a hijab.

"Again relaxed and are looking to meet Mr. Hasan" Alvan replied with a slight lie.

"Oh, Dad's in the house. Yuk, in!" take Mr. Hasan's daughter.

"Thank you, Amelia."

The two men also walked into the main house occupied by Mr. Hasan's family. The house was quite spacious with simple and little furniture. Not that Mr. Hasan is poor, they deliberately empty a lot of rooms so that they can load a lot of people when they gather. Although the house for boys and girls is distinguished, but when eating and learning to teach they are always together there.

When praying, the women in the next room, while the boys to the mosque which is about 300 meters from the house. They also often blend in with the surrounding residents. 

"Assalamualaikum, Mr. Hasan." Alvan greeted the old man.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Uh, there's Alvan coming here. It's, isn't it, still working hours?" asked Mr. Hasan and glanced at the clock on the wall which showed at 10:00 am.

"Wanted to go for a walk and happened to pass by here. So, all of you stop by," replied Alvan kindly.

Not long after came Amelia and the old woman, Mr. Hasan's wife named Bu Sari. They brought snacks and drinks.

"Assalamualaikum, Miss Sari," said Alvan.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. How's it going, Alvan. Haven't played here in a long time?" ask the old woman who wears a black dress.

"Alhamdulillah, fine. It has been a bit busy lately" replied Alvan.

"But teaching is still, isn't it?" ask Ms. Sari.

"Alhamdulillah, still."

"Is there still communication with Ustadz Yusuf?" ask Mr. Hasan.

"still. Every day I studied religion with him" replied Alvan.

"Alhamdulillah, if he is still able to spread knowledge. Although it is very old he can still be a useful person," continued Mr. Hasan.

Actually Alvan came here to confide, but there was Amelia and Bu Sari, so it made him stop. Because he does not want his problem to be known by many people.

Alvan visits until lunch time. He also played with the children who lived there.

"Sister Alvan, is there a job opening in the office?" ask Amelia.

"Don't know. Must ask the HRD," replied Alvan. 

"If there's a vacancy tell me, huh?" 

"I was there as an intern. Tired of going back and forth every week. Want to work in your own hometown," replied the girl in white hijab.

"Find the information to the receptionist" Alvan replied as he dyed the book of the little boy sitting next to him.

"Om, who is this?" ask the little boy who saw Alvan's picture earlier.

"He's a potential angel Om Alvan" replied Alvan with a mischievous smile at the kindergarten boy.

Alvan drew the figure of Aulia. Longing and feeling guilty still covered him, so he poured his feelings on a picture.

Alvan figure can be invited to play by small children, making it liked by children there. They are not shy if they invite him to talk or play.

Alvan's not back in the office. Except coming to his parents' house. He was in need of someone who could listen to his heart at this moment.

As soon as he got down from the car, Mami Siska was sitting in a chair under a tree, reading. Alvan also wanted to kill his mother.

"Where greetings, Alvan?" Although she was reading, Mami Siska could tell Alvan was coming there.

"Assalamualaikum, Mami," greetings the son.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," replied Mami Siska.

"Mommy, really, know I'm coming. Though deliberately the car I did not bring in," replied Alvan while hugging his mother briefly.

"From the smell of your body" said the middle-aged woman.

"What's wrong? Tumben clock coming to the house. Where's Aulia?" Mami Siska searches for the whereabouts of her son's assistant who used to accompany her.

"She's a go-home pass" Alvan replied softly.

Mami Siska feels that Alvan is having a problem with Aulia. He could see from the look on his son's face that looked sad and the look on his eyes that were soft.

"You got a problem?" mami Siska asked as she closed the book she had just read. Then, he kept it on the table near the tea pot.

"Mommy remember not the pregnant woman I hit?" alvan asked carefully.

"What woman did you hit during the first motorcycle race?" Mami Siska asked back.

"How many times have I hit people, Mami?" Alvan was upset.

"Regular, dong. Don't be so angry" said Mami Siska as she pinched her son's cheek.

"Mommy, anyway. People are serious, it's a joke" Alvan grumbled.

Mami Siska laughed. Seeing his only son had already returned to being the figure he used to be, made him happy. I'd rather tease him lately.

"Have you found that woman?" mami Siska asked seriously.

"Yes, I just found him" replied Alvan.

"really?" Mami Siska was very surprised to hear this news.

"Where did you meet?" ask the woman.

"It turns out that he and I meet every day. It's just that I just found out today" Alvan replied in a soft voice.

"What's? Who is he? How can I meet each day?" Mami Siska is curious.

"He is …."

How did Mami Siska react when she found out that Aulia was the woman who was the victim of her son's run? Wait for it to go, yeah!

Amelia is her friend Ning Annisa who teaches at the School where they teach.
