THE STRUGGLE OF A WIDOW

TRISTAN'S RETURN

“Beauty.” Sapa Ayana kissed Yuki's cheek on the breakfast bribe by the grandmother..

“Lohh son..? where are you going so neatly..? You'll be sick again, son.” Said the mother worriedly

“I've done it Mom.. I have to work, later I can be fired if most leave.” Ayana replied while scooping the rice onto her plate

“You sure you want to be healthy.?” Ask the mother to confirm her doubts

Ayana answered the mother's question with a nod as she focused on her breakfast.

“But the medicine still carry yes.?” the mother's leech

Again Ayana simply replied with a nod

“Mama.. Doktel brought me here again.. Bial Yuki many toys mah.” Yuki babbles innocently

Ayana, who was enjoying breakfast, stopped her mouthful and looked at the confused mother..

Mom is tired of understanding the look of the child.

“Night Dr. Rayan came here again with medicine for you. She brought the same stuffed food for Yuki.” Said the mother casually as she fed Yuki the breakfast that stayed a mouthful again

"Smart kid.. Yuki ate a lot of food today.. Grandma's happy to see it.." Said Miss Lela smiling who was also smiling back by Yuki

Ayana finished her breakfast and brought her dirty dishes to the kitchen to wash. Ayana took her breath in.

Her feelings became unsettled this morning after hearing what Rayan did to her family

When Ayana says goodbye to her mother, Yuki again repeats her request about Rayan to Ayana.

Even after Ayana is on the front porch, Yuki raises the volume again so that the mother hears clearly and remembers her request to invite Rayan and must bring the toy she wants.

Ayana made head bobbles with the request of the child. Ayana is unlikely to comply with the request of her little girl.

At the end of the crossroads, as usual Ayana sat on a bench under a roadside tree waiting for public transportation that usually passes there.

Tiinn...

Ayana's attention was diverted to the sound of the motor on the right not far from her standing

“Masya Allah Tristan.?” Ayana jumped in shock to see her neighbor Tristan as well as her little friend get off the bike and approach her

Ayana did not expect to be reunited with her little friend after all this time.

Tristan smiled happily to see Ayana again since how many years ago.

Tristan is Ayana's neighbor who is also a playmate. But because Tristan and his mother moved out of town with Dad, they were separated for a long time.

“How are you Ayay.?” More beautiful aja.” greeting Tristan smiling up and down his forehead makes Ayana laugh.

The old and present Tristan is still the same. Still like to call his favorite name and his silly behavior.

“Where are you..? let me anterin all of you tell me.” Tristan replied directly to Ayana

Along the way, Tristan tells the story of his mother who often quarreled with Dad.

So after he graduated High School and got a job, he started saving up for their fare back home and bought a new house.

For years he and his mother tried to survive. Until exactly a week ago he was able to bring his mother home and live in a simple house of his own sweat.

“So you didn't stay in your old house dong.?” Ayana is a little disappointed because even though Tristan has returned again, but the distance of their house is now far apart.

“Iya Ayay's.. Try it still can be at home, we can gather maen every day kayak first.” Tristan said sadly.

“Nothing.. What matters is that you are here.. We can see you again.” Trsitan smiled as he confirmed the position of the rearview mirror glanced at Ayana who was sitting on her bonfire.

Without feeling, they have arrived at the restaurant parking area as well as the restaurant park where Ayana works.

Tristan did not immediately return even though Ayana had invited him to leave

"The garden is cold, huh..?" Tristan said he looked around where they were standing

Ayana smiled in response

"Thank you for nganterin.." Ayana said sincerely

"It's the same thing.." Answer Tristan slowly

Long time they look at the view. Until finally Ayana also paid to enter the restaurant because the clock has shown at 07.40

" Ayay, wait a minute.." Tristan tried to arrest Ayana

“Ayay.. Actually, I wanted to go to your house and have business with you and Mom.” Tristan said with an unusual face

Ayana frowned trying to digest Tristan's intent

"What's up Tan..?" Tanya Ayana was confused

Tristan hesitantly answered Ayana

"Tan, if you have anything to say, just say it.. Why do you know me.." Ayana smiled

"Sorry Ayana.. Just ask for a minute, will you..?" Tristan said

Ayana is further confused by Tristan's attitude. The feeling is starting to feel bad..
