One day I called Via


"Assalamualaikum ma'am" I said


"Greetings from Rinda, what's wrong?" ask mom Via


"Bu Via. this I have not been able to deliver Vano, the miscarriage runs out" I said.


"Innalillahi wainailaihi rojiun" said Bu Via


"Mom Via, I can ask Via to pick up Vano from school until I get back to work" I asked


"Could ma'am, be taken at the mother-in-law's house that I used to go there?" ask mom to make sure


"Mother" I replied


"Tomorrow I start picking up ya ma'am" said Ms Via


Then one morning, Miss Via came home to pick up Vano


"Mom Via. thank you" I said.


"Da da mama" said Vano, waving at me, and I waved my hand at Vano, then walked into the house to accompany her in the room, my mother-in-law was as always busy with her work


"Rin... Vano's teacher's mom is good huh? want to pick up Vano" said mother began to open the chat


"Yes ma'am, Rinda will give money in exchange for gasoline, pity this Via ma'am" I said


"iya Rin" said the mother


Not feeling the time so fast adhan ashar heard from the residential mosque, mother took ablution and performed the prayer of ashar, I went into the room intending to take a bath in the bathroom in the room, after bathing I changed clothes and tidied myself then I went out of the room to the terrace of the house waiting for the arrival of Vano while watering the orchid plants favorite mother-in-law.


Shortly thereafter Vano arrived


"Mother.." shouted Vano from behind the gate I stepped into the gate and opened it, Vano immediately approached me and kissed me holding me


"Bu Rinda, I went straight home" said Ms Via.


"Don't stop by first, ma'am?" much


"Thank you ma'am, it's afternoon next time" refused Ms Via


"Thank you ma'am" I answered, and I saw that Ms. Via left the house


When Vano entered the house I closed the gate and turned to walk into the house, as usual Vano immediately headed to the living room turned on the tv, mom sat on the sofa in the living room and I approached her sitting next to her chatting lightly, before long my mother-in-law came carrying some plastic wrap placed on the dining table, my mother came up to him and helped prepare the food, after the completion of the mother-in-law went upstairs


"Mom, I live upstairs first" said my mother-in-law


After the maghrib prayer, my mother-in-law went downstairs, I Vano and my mother were in the living room


"Let's eat" said the mother-in-law allowing us to eat, we went to the dinner table and sat there, we enjoyed the dinner bought by my mother-in-law.

One morning the sky was cloudy and it seemed like it was going to rain


"Vano...how to go to school?" I'm going to Vano


"Mom Via have you left here?" ask Vano


"Vano.. grandma who drove you to school yes all bring Mbah uti home, tomorrow your mother will have started work, mother is also healthier" said the mother-in-law, I see the mother has also packed


"Thank you mom, Rinda wanted to tell Via ma'am not to come here" I said


Then I went into the room to pick up a phone and called Via


Tuut.. tuut.. tuut not also lifted, back I call him back.


Tuut.tuut.end lifted by bu Via.


"Assalamualakum bu Via" said I


"Waalaikum salam" replied Ms Via


"Oh yes ma'am by chance, this was I want wa mom if today I can not pick up Vano because there is family business" explained Ms Via


"Yes ma'am, thank you, assalamualaikum" I said


"Waalaikumsalam" replied Ms. Via and then the phone was turned off, I put my phone on the table and went out to see my mother, Vano and mother-in-law in the living room


"Mom.. careful huh?" say


"Thank you for helping Rinda, actually Rinda wants mom here to continue" I said later


"I'm also glad your mom's here Rin, so there's a chatmate who's the same age" said the mother-in-law


"Your father how about if I stay here, it's been a week Rin, come here again sometime, Vano. Mbah uti want to go home, Vano pinter yes the same mother and grandmother" mother's advice.


"It must be Mbah uti" said Vano spirit


"Later if you come home Vano will go to Mbah uti house yes" said Vano again


"That's why wait" said mom


"Mom, I'm nitip Rinda and Vano huh?" mother said again, then they got into the car, I waved my hand as I said "Be careful everything is da da"


Then I closed the gate and I went into the house, sitting in the living room I leaned my back on the chair, this house without them was lonely, keep it nice why this, the house is also clean, the house is also clean, just eat continue to see the tv show I thought, finally I stepped onto the dining table, sitting on the chair opening the service hood, must be this mother who made her anointing, first time I was sick typus, I was sick, I was not allowed to eat this, I took a plate then rice, anointed the salted fish and fried chicken, very steady, I thought, after which I walked into the living room with a plate, carrying a plate, turn on the tv and sit on the carpet, start eating my favorite mother's cooking, really good this mother's cooking, my mind, my heart, after I finished eating I walked to the sink close to the kitchen washing my dishes and put them in place, I saw the clock on the wall showing ten o'clock in the afternoon.


I walked up to the couch, laid down on the couch and watched the tv show, my eyes were sleepy, and started yawning, later in the afternoon when I went to the hospital, doctor Lisa schedule three hours let me leave at one hour, now Arif mas must be time to rest if I should not call Mas Arif only yes, my mind.


Finally I turned off the tv and walked to the bedroom to take a phone on the table, and I went up to the bed to lay down my body, then video call mas Arif, still writing ringing, shortly afterwards it was seen that Mas Arif was eating there was a friend beside him, maybe that's his name Deny, immediately I took my hijab, worried that the theme came to see me


"Rin. I'm so glad you called me" said mas Arif smiling.happily.


"I'm sorry, Rinda did it yesterday" I said


"Why did you come home?" much


"Next week I go home" said Mas Arif


"Mas.." I said.


"Yes what?" ask Arif while eating


"Continue so mas, later Rinda call again, do not forget to pray duhur ya mas" said I reminded


"Yes dear" said Mas Arif, then I closed the video call


Shortly after, I heard a phone call I saw Arif calling


"Assalamualaikum mas" I smiled


"Waalaikum my bidadiku greetings, thank you for your smile my bidadar, some days not seeing you smile my life feels meaningless Rin" said mas Arif


"I'm sorry, mas, in my own house" I said.


"Where is your mother?" ask me Arif


"Mom took my mother home and delivered Vano to school, later after Vano's mother was picked up by her, so I was alone" I explained


"Aren't you out?" ask me Arif


"No mas, not brave, if you look at the baby's child my heart feels not karu-kulian mas" I said


"You control when Rin?" ask me Arif


"Later in the afternoon, I order transportation online only" I said


"Rin's days, you must be strong, baby don't be sad anymore, love you dear" said mas Arif


"Love you too dear" I replied


"Had Rin, I continued working again" said mas Arif then waved his hand and closed the video call
