The Love Story of Children Santri

Chapter 48-

Eve ran into her room. The events near the waterfall made her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. Maybe Eve wants to hide from Adam. 

Adam just laughed a little at his wife's behavior. Just on the kiss his lips are already that red especially later if you feel extraordinary things than that.

Eve became ashamed of herself, but if remembered again her lips smiled, remembering the first kiss from her husband. 

"Oh my God, why doesn't my heart stop pounding." He said as he touched his chest. 

Many times Eve breathed, still her heart pounded not because of. His body rolled around imagining the kiss. 

Unlike the happy sister. Joseph gets an unexpected surprise. Which was found again with asthma. Not as a student, but as a new employee. 

Geck, tok, tok.

"Lake in!" yusuf cried when he heard someone knocking on the door of his study. 

The door was wide open, a staff member entered with a hijab girl behind him.

"For the sir, sorry to disturb. I brought my friend who was going to work yesterday." 

"Oh yes, you tell me to sit down first. I still have something to do." 

Said Yusuf, who was still focusing on some of his document files. The staff brought the hijab girl to sit on the sofa that was already available. 

"You just wait here. I have to go" the staff told Asma.

"But Ma."

"Don't be afraid. My boss is good." 

Asthma suddenly nervous also afraid, for the first time Asthma entered the company area and had to apply for a job. Due to urgent circumstances, the mother who must be treated in a mental hospital and the father who languished in prison. 

Never imagined for Asthma, her life would end like this. Maybe Asma had not thought about the school anymore, what he thought now was looking for money to connect life. 

Yusuf, tidy up all the files that were just signed. Then glanced at Asma who was sitting on the sofa not far from her desk. 

Joseph still looked relaxed who stepped towards the sofa and sat in front of Asthma. The two still do not realize if they know each other. 

When Joseph asked, the faces of the two looked at each other.

"Assha."

"Sister, Joseph," they said at the same time.

Both of them felt surprised especially Asma who was increasingly nervous in meeting again with her teacher. 

"Asma, are you applying for a job? Is true?" 

"Is brother Joseph here?" Instead of answering Asthma even back nanya.

"The answer is my question. Are you really going to apply for a job? Then what about your school?" 

"Sister Joseph, please do not tell the owner of this company if Asma is still in school." Asma said that as it was assumed that Joseph was not the real owner of the company.

"Asma was forced because she needed a job." 

"But you're still in school, don't your parents know if you're applying for a job?" 

"They won't care. Dad has been in jail for one mistake, and mom. Since my father was in prison our lives have been ruined, everything we have is gone and now my mother is in a mental institution." 

Asthma looked down weakly, ashamed to admit as the son of an inmate and a mentally ill mother. No matter if everyone ridiculed him, insulting him, it was enough Asthma received treatment from her schoolmates. 

And Asma decided to quit school, instead of having to cry hearing the insults of her friend every day. 

Yusuf, not yet knowing if Asma was the son of Anshor who made slander about his sister. And defamation of pesantren. 

Yusuf, did not want to allow Asthma to work because for him Asthma must remain in school especially soon will take the final exam. However, Joseph also could not bear to refuse the job application Asthma, because Asthma is in desperate need of the job.

"But Joseph's brother Asma needed this work.  Take it easy Asma will work well. Please accept it." 

Joseph, take his breath heavy. Forced Joseph to accept Asthma, but not to work in his company but in his home. 

"Come down" Joseph said to Asma after arriving at his house. 

Asthma, suddenly confused what he would do in the big house. Will she be made a maid? I don't know Asthma doesn't know. However, if it is true Asthma will only live it sincerely. 

Asma got down from the car following Joseph into her house. Arriving inside the Asthma sweeps every corner of the house, Asthma accidentally finds a photo that Asthma recognizes.

"Eve," he said as he looked at Eve's portrait with his family. 

"Aspie!" 

"Yes." Yeah." Joseph's call surprised him.

"Come here, sit here." 

Asma asked what Joseph had to do with Eve. However, it seems that Asthma will ask that later.

"I'll explain why I brought you into this house. I'll accept you to work as long as you still have to go to school."

"But Joseph's brother."

"There's no but-but. Think of it as an order, I'll put you in school and you'll be able to work here helping with Mbok Ijah's work and you I'll allow work after school."

"But Brother." 

"You or not? You don't have to think about tuition, that includes your salary. And you will only help Mbok Ijah from noon to afternoon." 

"Good." Eventually Asthma accepted, no matter being a maid or employee, it was important that Asthma now had the money to pay for her mother's treatment.

Asthma, walking down the hospital corridor. His gaze was so empty, it did not care for the people acting strangely around him. 

The mental hospital is where it is today. Asma came to see her mother, it was very painful to see her mother who was confined there. Who smiled alone like a dazed person.

Asthma was unable to endure her crying. For a second his body trembled spilling a long-strapped dam of tears. 

After visiting her mother Asma went home. Carry all clothes from school attributes and other supplies. From tomorrow he will live in the house of Joseph. 

Asma remembered the picture of Eve, what Eve had to do with Joseph. 

"Why is there a picture of Eve in that house?" he thought that stopped the activity sorted out for a moment. 

While Eve thought she was busy cooking with her beloved man Adam. Instead of helping Adam cook Eve messed up the kitchen. Breaking the egg alone Eve could not, which was destroyed all along with her shells. 

"It's so hard to break an egg." 

"Here let Aby. You saw Aby how to break an egg." 

Adam took one egg, tapped to the side of the bowl. Eve stared in wonder because the egg did not break at all. Instantly his eyes rounded when the egg shell was split into two eggs were perfectly set.

"Well, Aby's smart." 

Adam just shook his head to get that compliment. And finally only Adam cooked, while Eve just sat there watching him. 

In a moment Eve was stunned to see Adam. Very lucky to get a good husband, handsome, and a cook. A second Eve smiled to herself.
