A Million Love For Alana
Missed Mother

Ardha is already at Alana's campus. Alana has told Ardha that she can go home early because the business with her guidance counselor is done. At exactly half-eleven in the afternoon Ardha was waiting for Alana with Nina in front of the campus. Ardha saw Alka's car parked next to her. Alka got out of her car and approached Ardha who was waiting for Alana to walk over to her.

“Alka, what are you here for?” ask Ardha.

“Mas Ardha also want what?” Alka asked Ardha.

“You pick up Alana, this is Nina asking to eat ice cream for a while with Alana,” replied Ardha as is. “You're here to pick up your girlfriend or who?” ask Ardha again.

“You pick up my employee who is often late, that's him on the road,” replied Alka.

“You didn't see this just wanted eleven o'clock? Didn't Alana start working at one or two?” Ardha.

“Indeed why if I pick him up early?” ask Alka.

“Ya Nina did you make a deal with Alana first?” Ardha.

“Yes, Nina wants to eat ice cream first with Aunt Alana, I have made a deal with Aunt Alana from this morning,” said Nina.

“You can eat ice cream at the cafe om right, Darling?” said Alka.

“No way, he wants to be in the usual place Nina eats ice cream with Aunt Lina,” replied Nina.

“Lagian is still two hours away why are you that anyway? Do not be like your employees,” said Ardha.

Alana looked directly at Nina as she had already seen Nina in front with her om, but Alana was a little surprised that Alka was there as well.

“Hai dear, have you been waiting for aunty?” greet Alana to Nina.

“No, not for long anyway,” replied Nina.

“Do you eat ice cream with Nina and Om Ardha?” bring Nina.

“Oke, mumpung aunty there is still approximately two hours, aunty want deh.” Alana accepts Nina's request.

“Pak Alka's? How are you here?” ask Alana.

“Ya wants to pick you up,” replied Alka casually.

“Pick me to where, Sir?”

“Ke cafe, let's not be late!”

“Pak, isn't it eleven hours yet, my work hours are one or two, right? Isn't the deal like that? It's still two hours away, sir,” replied Alana.

“Yesterday you were late?”

“And I have consequences with the rules, I have added my working hours, right?” answer Alana.

“Some of you are afraid that Alana does not go to work, take it easy, this is Nina who from yesterday asked, tomorrow or the day after she will go to Paris, maybe long enough, maybe, so he asked for a walk with Alana first, dong dong same little boy. Calm down later before one o'clock in the afternoon Alana has arrived at your cafe,” said Ardha. “Come on Alana, get in the car, let's Nina take Aunt Alana in,” Ardha said.

Alka showed a face with Ardha. Ardha himself who told himself to be good with Alana, the turn to be good with Alana is there - there are only obstacles. Last night Fatih, and today Ardha.

Alka got in her car, she went to her office first, because she had to sign some papers, after which she went to the cafe. Alka tried to dampen her emotions, she did not want her emotions carried away until at the cafe, and later she even scolded Alana. Right said Ardha he had to be patient and succumb to Nina. Did he force Alana to come with him?

“Indeed Nina was very happy with Alana, did not know why it was a child close to Alana, but met Alana also with Kak Lina alone, and it was a long time ago. I see, it was Nina who asked, seen from the look on Nina's face, she really hoped to eat ice cream with Alana today. If Ardha had told her, Nina would not have looked like that, a child of Nina's age could not have lied, my gut would never have lied, what they said was honest as it was, just like Nina earlier,” Alka said in her heart.

Alana did not understand why Alka was so strange as before, suddenly picked herself up in front of the campus. Even though last night Alana had told herself that she did not want to be picked up or delivered to campus. Alana doesn't want to deal outside of working hours with Alka. He does not care if at work want Alka to behave anything, because she knows Alka is the leader in the cafe. Alana also realized that she was wrong, it was often too late lately.

They arrive at Nina's usual ice-cream shop with her aunt. With Zhalina, Nina always stopped by for ice cream. Though his mother sometimes forbid him to eat ice, but how else, the more forbidden Nina crave it is not finished-finished. Alana sat next to Nina, while Ardha sat in front of Alana and Nina. Nina was so happy that she finally gave up on ice cream with Alana.

“Alana, there is another painting exhibition, you want to go to the gallery? Don't want to look around?” ask Ardha.

“Gak ah, anyways that time is not I just drive my friend, sir?” answer Alana.

“You will take me there,” said Ardha.

“Yes I want to take you there,” replied Ardha.

“Oh so? If it is fit again there is time I can, but if there is no time yes I can not, Sir,” said Alana.

“Atime when?” ask Ardha.

“If I have time off, sir,” replied Alana.

“Lusa means?”

“Iya, the day after I have a holiday, Sir.”

“Ih om want to take Aunt Alana to the painting exhibition, yes?” ask Nina.

“Iya, you want to come?”

“Mau, but the day after Nina went with mom and dad to Berlin, Om?” answer Nina.

“Oh yes, om forgot.”

“Yah .. if you know if you want to go to the same painting cast Aunt Alana I do not join papa and mama vacation there?”

“When will Nina come home, will she be able to walk with aunt again? You have promised your mama you know, this holiday you come?” ardha.

“Iya anyway, but the owner did not come, want the same om or aunt Lina at home, play the same opa and oma,” said Nina.

“Don't do it, massage with mom. You never want to go to your mom and dad on vacation. Indeed you do not want to be like your friends who often vacation abroad?” Ardha.

“Iya anyway peg, yes I have obedient mama deh?” nina.

“Nina, same mom-papa dong? Are you looking for a holiday abroad?” alana.

“Tante ever?” ask Nina.

“Never, most aunt of her school holidays to the garden,” replied Alana with a chuckle.

“Beast garden, Aunt?” ask Nina again.

“The garden belongs to his auntie mother, harvest fruit, vegetables, tubers. It was a small time aunt holiday, in the village,” replied Alana.

It did not feel Alana's eyes condensing, given her desirability. He has not been home for a year since he was busy with thesis and busy with his work. He misses his mother, who now lives alone, because her mother's sister has moved to Jogja. The souvenir center shop owned by his budhenya has been completed in the renovation, so Alana budhenya has started busy with his shop there. Sometimes her mother was just with her close neighbors.

“Lana kangen, Mom,” said Lana inwardly.

“Tante, auntie is dumb?” Nina rubbed Alana's arm, and Alana slipped slightly.

“Ehm .. aunty kangen with her mother Aunt,” replied Alana.

“Nina thinks why,” says Nina.

“Whose mother is at home?” ask Ardha.

“Mother is now alone, her sister father who often accompanied also died, yesterday there was a budhe, but now she has returned to Jogja, because she has taken care of her shop again there,” replied Alina.

“How many months have you not been home?” ask Ardha.

“One year anyway, I'm on vacation right make work, sir?” answer Alana.

“Begging Tiara, look at your mother, there are still parents, should you look dong? Not coming home?” ardha.

“Ya come home sir later, if you are Lebaran,” replied Alana.

Alana misses her mother. Although he was disappointed with his mother, because he felt his mother was covering up about who his biological parents were, still he wanted to go home, but the circumstances were not possible, he had to work, and he hasn't been granted leave either.
