WHEN THE HEART CHOOSES

Episode 5's

Arleta walked to a bus stop close to the school. She was offered a ride by Candra and her two female friends, but she preferred to go home by bus.

After arriving at the stop, he sat in a chair that had several school friends or people who were also waiting for the bus to come.

Arleta pulled out her cell phone and listened to music with a headset in her ear, before the bus she was waiting for stopped in front of the bus stop made her rise from sitting and walk towards the bus door.

About twenty minutes later the bus arrived at the complex stop of his house.

"Assalamu'alaykum." He opened the door of the house.

"Non." Arleta looked at Ani who walked towards her with a happy face?

"Mr and madam came this morning." Arleta involuntarily smiled slightly. He was happy to remember that his parents were in this house.

"Where?" Ask with a calm look.

"In the old workroom non." Arleta nodded and walked towards her papa's study.

He slowly opened the doorknob and how happy he was to see his parents there.

"Father mama." Call him walk in.

The two middle-aged humans were shocked as Arleta who was standing in front of the door.

"Arleta kangen." And the next second Arleta ran to hug her mother who was still silent.

Riana looked at her husband for a while then returned the embrace of the princess.

"We are also dear." Riana. Anton papa Arleta just stroked Arleta's head and walked to his desk to continue his work that had been delayed.

Arleta let go of her embrace and looked at Riana.

"Mama why did you just come home? Arleta's lonely." Arleta's eyes had already expelled a clear liquid.

"Now you go to the room yes, mommy is equally willing to continue her work first." Arleta breathed slowly. It's always a job.

With a slow step he walked out of the study and stepped towards the stairs.

---***---

At seven o'clock Arleta was still in her room. Actually he was hoping his mama would come with him this afternoon but what happened?? He never even walked out of his papa's office.

Arleta sat in front of the window staring at the stars and moon in the sky. The night was so bright, many stars were glittering over the san. Without feeling lonely again, he felt alone. He longs for the times when he is a cheerful figure, he really wants to go back to what he used to be but he cannot. He was unable to laugh, even smiling, he could not.

"Non have dinner first." Mbok Ani walks with a tray of food to Arleta.

"Where's mbok?" Tanya Arleta looked at mbok Ani.

"Mmm. anu non, the master and the mistress left for Bandung earlier soreh non. He said suddenly." Arleta's tears immediately fell upon hearing Ani's words.

Is work more important than children? Can't they make time for themselves? Or at least to pay?

"Arleta is sleepy." His words walked towards the cashier and lay facing the window, turning his back to Ani who was staring at him.

"But you don't have to eat." There was no answer coming out of Arleta's mouth he just stared out the window blankly.

Mbok Ani sighed softly and took back the tray he had placed on the nightstand and then out of Arleta's room.

After the door closed, Arleta's sobbing sounded sick, empty, and lonely as she felt. He felt no child considering he never got the love of his parents, especially Anton the papa who very rarely smiled at him.

The night wind blew strong making the wind into Arleta's room through a window that had not been closed Arleta earlier. Makes a cold atmosphere and supports Arleta to cry.

"Hiks... Leta kangen mama... Leta kangen papa hiks..." Arleta continued to cry until she fell asleep with tears still wetting her cheeks.

Seriate...
