The Single Parent

New Atmosphere

To the guest room I put my bag there and I dropped Vano

"Our mother will be staying here with my grandmother" Vano asked

"Yes Vano, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow we live in the house of Mbah uti" I said

"There is no Arif om no good mother no one ngajak I play" he said

"Yes play it yourself Vano" I said

"Om Arif when do you come home?" ask Vano

"Three more months Vano, Vano seneng yes the same om Arif?" I asked Vano to nod his head, while putting some clothes into the closet, Aunt Linda went into the room

"Rin do not hesitate, just ordinary, consider your own home" said aunt Linda

"Aunty to the back first, you can take a shower then follow aunt after this is done" he said

"Yes aunty" I answered

After cleaning my clothes and needs, I headed to the kitchen to heat the water for Vano's bath, I looked for the tub did not find, finally to the back and found the tub at the back of the house, I saw Aunt Linda sitting in the back garden, I approached Aunt Linda

"Tante, here" I asked

"Yes Rin, I used to sit here while looking at this park, yes this is how Rin, lonely in this house, has two children not in the house all, all of them, I love that you live here so rame this house" said the aunt

"Auntie I want to bathe Vano first after that I come here again" I said as I passed leaving Aunt Rinda.

Vano in the family room toying alone, I prepared the needs of the Vano bath, after I was ready to go to Vano

"Vano let's take a shower" I said as I took off his shirt and headed for the bathroom, after cleaning up Vano's business until I changed his clothes I took a shower after neatly I met Aunt Rinda

"Vano see what tv follow mother to the back of the same grandmother?" much

"See mother's tv" she said

"Don't go out in the house" I said.

I saw Aunt Rinda still in the garden behind the house, I approached her and sat in front of her

"Tante.. love orchid flowers huh?" ask me to start a conversation

"Like Rin, the flowers are nice" he said

"Vano where? ask again

"See aunt's TV" I said

"Arif called you?" tannya

"Aunty" I answered

"Thank God, Arif is sorry for Rin, I was wrong why I used to agree to take his father to merauke, there he suffered, fortunately Arif was mentally strong" said the aunt began to tell me I listened seriously

"his father's family there did not receive good Arif, long ago Arif could not bear to finally leave the family, he was given his father's money to live outside the family" said the aunt

"Kok don't go back to Java alone aunt" asked me

"Yes so Rin, Arif can not his father meet me, long time aunt does not know the news of Arif, Arif, his father's phone time was answered just fine but never gave the phone to Arif so the aunt never communicated with Arif" he said

"Keep starting communication with Arif when?" much

"At that time, suddenly Arif came home here Rin, aunt alone was shocked" he said

"When is aunt?" much

"Arif time in college in Jakarta" replied the aunt

"Where does Mas Arif know this house from? Rinda once looked for Arif mas to the old house said the new occupants had moved and sold and did not know where to move" I said

"There are friends of Arif from here college in Jakarta there story if ever see aunty in this house continues to give address to Arif, Arif at that time off college, he said, well from that moment Arif often come home here, not to his father" said aunt Rinda, suddenly Vano came to us

"Mother...where are the milk?" tannya

"Aunta aunty" I said

"Yes Rin, this aunt also wants to enter the house, already wants maghrib" he said

Go into the room, take the milk box for Vano and give it to Vano, I lay my body on the bed, look around the room, the atmosphere is very different here and in the mother's house, at home momuk still rame motorcycle passing here desolate, pity aunt Rinda at home alone, I take hp at the room table, write wa for mas Arif

The voice of adzan maghrib reverberated from the mosque, I went from the bed to the place for ablution and to the mosque of the house of mas Arif, aunty did not look possible above, rest also prayers above, prayer, I fulfilled the obligation to pray Maghrib after I finished sitting alone watching Vano who was playing, my phone rang I went to the guest room, I took hp, I saw the name of Mas Arif, I immediately picked up
