The Sound of Tears

"There's something important that you're going to say to my mom Cathlin and you're Lia" I said trying to divert our conversation.
"what's important, brother?" ask Thalia.
"later, I'll explain Lia, after the lesson is over" I said.
Meanwhile Ardian was seen pacing around the living room that we currently use to study. Suddenly my phone rang 'this must be a message from Hendrick'. Then I checked the incoming message on the phone, apparently just a text from the operator.
"wah. kak Shella now has bought a cell phone bru yes.. can ask for the number dong kak" urged Thalia.
"not Lia, it's just someone's cell phone" I said.
"who's the gift from, brother? must be a very good person with sister.But lucky to be sister Shella" Thalia said innocently, I just smiled at the babbling of the 3rd year Junior High. When we exchanged phone numbers came Mommy Cathlin.
"wah wah waaahhh mami's daughter, both of them are huddling what hayo? have you guys finished studying? Thalia? Shella how did this one's wayward mom learn?" ask the woman to me.
"Alhamdulillah, there has been a lot of progress Mami. Actually Thalia is a smart child, during her teaching, Shella is not too difficult to give material. "my answer.
"Thank God then, oh yes next week mom will hold an event, Shella don't forget to come yes." added the 43-year-old woman.
"But Mami. sorry before.. Shella could not attend the event mi"
"lho.why is Shella"
"mmm.. like this mami. because Shella had received a scholarship to study at a university in Jakarta, so yesterday Shella was told by the school that next week is the scheduled departure there mi" said I explained.
"What's? brother want to move? who taught Thalia who?" timpal Thalia was listening to a conversation between me and my mother Cathlin.
"Shella.. don't leave me. I know I'm guilty, so please don't go" Ardian said with a sad face.
"yeeeeee.. brother Ardian lebay." Thalia taunted his brother. While Mami Cathlin was seen wiping her tears that had dripped, because for her she already considered me as her own child.
"Already.. Shella just went to study, so that you can be successful, you should be proud to know someone like Shella"
"ah. mami could have" I said.
"Shella, I'm sorry about yesterday, because of me. You got in trouble at the bookstore"
"it's okay, ian, I'm sorry" I replied with a smile.
"Before Shella's departure next week, how about tomorrow we have a Thanksgiving event at Shella's house?" mami Cathlin's.
"AGREE" said Thalia and Ardian simultaneously.
A few minutes later, enter bi Ijah the assistant housekeeper mami Cathlin, he told that in front there was already a guest om Anton from Jakarta, then mami Cathlin immediately headed to the living room, while I was in touch because the private tutoring schedule that day was over, I all asked for permission to go home.
"sorry mom, Shella said she'd go home first mi"
"why rush Shella?" ask mom Cathlin
"i still have work to do at home mom, want to arrange plastic flowers for customers in the store" I explained.
In the front room I saw a man about the age of Anton and a woman in yellow, wearing a pink shirt and brown pants. They looked at me, I just gave them a smile and then I left the house.
