CHOICES IN LOVE
22. The Hope of a Child.

***Kindergarten Diana Permata***

It was a clear morning, a very different morning for Sasha. This morning he and Ryota go to Kindergarten school riding on his matic motorcycle, a happy smile always rising on Sasha and Ryota's lips. They both feel happy because they can always be both.

It didn't take long for Sasha and Ryota to get to school, the distance from home to Kindergarten school wasn't too far, actually being able to walk for 15 minutes. But Ryota wanted to ride a motorcycle this morning. Sasha happily followed the wishes of her son.

After finishing parking her bike, Sasha and Ryota walked hand in hand. A happy smile always adorns their faces. Sometimes Ryota looks at Sasha, as if not believing that this morning, his mother actually came to school to accompany him, usually will always be busy working. From morning until night, there was only one day to be together during the Sasha holiday.

"mama..do you really want to accompany Ryo class cooking today?" ryota asked as they sat in the school garden.

"yes, baby, why?" ask Sasha. He actually knew that his son was still not sure if Sasha would be with him today.

"what's your mom doing off work today?"

"no dear, mama is not off today, but you can work at home while accompanying Ryo to play and learn." a smile expands on Sasha's lips to convince the son.

"thank you mama." hugged Ryota happy.

Sasha is happy to see Ryota happy and happy. Sasha is grateful to Kenan for giving Ryota time, at a time when Ryota really needs him.

'aaa..why even think of the cold and arrogant Mr. Kenan anyway…? I was also at home because of his corporate work that I had to finish. This is an opportunity for me and Ryota, so don't think of anything?' sasha murmured in his heart.

Sasha and Ryota walk into the classroom, as soon as the cooking class starts. Some of the parents of students who could attend also filled the classroom. Not many parents of students can attend, maybe because they are busy working, just a few.

Sasha also takes a look at a beautiful student Ryota's classmate, who is commonly called Serly. It was clear from the look of his face looks sad, whether because Sasha did not know? the baby sister who used to accompany him was seen persuading Serly, so that Serly would smile and cheer again.

But the efforts of the baby sister, is just in vain. Serly even more sad and began to cry sobbing, her baby sister began to be overwhelmed face Serly.

Sasha could not bear to see the beautiful girl, who usually smiled sweetly and cheerfully crying sobbed sadly. Sasha and Ryota approach her.

"sorry..What's the matter, dear? why are you crying?" asked Sasha who was sitting crouching in front of Serly who was sitting in her chair.

Serly glanced at Sasha at a glance, her eyes full of tears, making Sasha pity. There was clearly sadness in the look in Serly's eyes at this moment.

"what's the matter, baby, why are you crying?" sasha asked gently by grasping Serly's palm on her lap.

"uuuhhhuuuu.. Serly was sad.ma.mama ngk can come." said Serly with Isak crying.

Sasha knows very well the sadness that Serly is experiencing at this time, he who used to be a child only lives with his mother, making his mother will always be busy at work, he said, and sometimes can not accompany him when there are school activities that require parents to attend school. Sasha immediately recalled Ryota, how did Ryota feel when he was in Serly's current position? surely Ryota will be sad just like the current Serly.

"hadn't be sad, maybe Serly's mom is still working that can't be left behind, Serly must try to understand that, Serly's mom is working for Serly too. So Serly must also be a good child and understanding." said subtly Sasha tried to give understanding to Serly.

"but papa is also working, why did you come to work too? they never existed for Serly.uuuuuu.." Isak cried Serly considering that he rarely met his parents who were always busy working.

"sadly, don't cry anymore.see there are still friends who are also not accompanied by his papa mama, so Serly is not the only student who is not with papa mama" said Sasha trying to convince Serly.

"but Serly also wants mama to come nemenin Serly class cooking" said Serly still with sobs. Some looked at them in the eye.

Sasha tries to figure out a way for Serly to stop crying and sulking.

"sad..Serly want aunty friend for her cooking class?" sasha asked trying to persuade Serly, and it managed to make Isak cry Serly a little lessened.

"but his aunt Ryota, how does aunty nemenin Serly class cooking?" reply Serly with her round eyes still filled with tears.

"maybe dear..tante will accompany the two of you in turn, we will class cooking threesome, how does Serly want…?" sasha asked looking hopefully at Serly.

"does Ryota want to?" tanya hesitates Serly looks at Sasha and Ryota in turn.

Sasha looked at the son standing right next to her. Ryota with a flat face mimic looking at Sasha and Serly alternately, Ryota still digest what is said by the mama and Serly?

"how dear can we class cooking threesome, it must be exciting…?" sasha's question convinced Ryota with a sweet smile on the son.

"honey.help a friend who is sad, it's a good deed, and we have to help each other. Does Ryota dislike helping a friend who needs our help?" sasha reassures Ryota, as Sasha sees the doubt and disillusioned look from Ryota's current face.

Ryota understands her good intentions, so Ryota, who also sees her good intentions, wants to help Serly.

"yes..well mama.Ryo agreed." reply agreed Ryota. Makes Sasha happy and hugs the kiss. She is proud Ryota understands her point, and Sasha is also happy that Ryota can care about her surroundings.

"it's his new favorite mama, his good-natured prince" said Sasha happily with Ryota's kiss hug. Making Ryota overwhelmed and embarrassed by the attitude of pampering his mother in front of all his classmates.

"it's mama..Ryo is ashamed.." reject Ryota with a subtle push on Sasha's body that hugs her tightly.

Sasha looked at the son's slightly embarrassed face. "yes yes...all right…!" reply Sasha while gently stroking Ryota's head.

"well dear..how? Ryota agreed, is there another problem?" sasha looked at Serly.

"no aunt.." rang Serly by looking at Sasha and Ryota alternately.

"then smile dong…!!" persuade Sasha.

Immediately Serly let out her sweet smile, adding to her beautiful round adorable face. Sasha immediately wiped away the tears on Serly's cheeks while smiling sweetly at Serly, the beautiful, sweet and cute little girl. It was fortunate that both of her parents had children as beautiful as Serly, that was Sasha's current mind.

A few moments later the cooking class was started, the three of them actually collaborated to cook. There is no rule for children to cook only with their parents, because there are some children who are also not accompanied by their parents.

So that children who are not accompanied by their parents become sad as Serly, the mother teacher and the parents who attended agreed to help the children whose parents could not attend. Cooking classes are fun for all kids today.

In addition to learning to work together, children know the meaning of help to their friends, and also know the meaning of togetherness and mutual support in school and around. Today's cooking class is a huge success, Ryota and Serly learn to cook omlet vegetables.

Sasha is happy to guide Ryota and Serly, they also decide to take pictures together while cooking and also when they finish cooking, they are photographed with Sasha in the middle of Ryota and Serly.

There are two photos that they take after finishing cooking. Ryota and Serly each held a plate containing the omlet of their cooking vegetables. Sasha's first position was in the middle of Ryota and Serly stood up with their happy smiles, and Sasha's second position was smiling happily still in the middle, with being kissed by Ryota and Serly.

Very nice photo as childhood memories for Ryota and also Serly. Sasha took the photo on her phone, while baby sister Serly also the same, perpetuated the moment by using Serly's mobile phone.

"thank you aunt, thank you Ryota" said Serly thanking her with a happy smile on her face. That made Sasha and Ryota also smile happily.

"happily together, don't cry and grieve anymore, aunty and Ryota will be ready to help Serly anytime? if aunty can also be present." reply Sasha with what is, he also did not dare to give too much promise, which may not be appropriate.

"tante..can Serly hug dear aunt…?" ask Serly shyly.

"of course dear..sini..the aunt's bay!!" reply Sasha with pleasure.

Sasha and Serly embrace each other affectionately, Serly who indeed misses the affectionate embrace of a mother, feel comfortable in the warm embrace of Sasha. Serly seemed unwilling and did not want to escape from the warm embrace of Sasha to him.

But whatever the power of a little girl like Serly, she realized that Sasha was not the mom she had always hoped for, Sasha was the mama of her friend Ryota.

A kind-hearted beautiful aunt, who has always been friendly to her since they knew each other. A kind-hearted beautiful aunt, who always looks affectionate and considerate to Ryota, who sometimes envy Serly to Ryota, who is, because having Sasha as the mama is always affectionate and considerate of Ryota as long as they know each other.

That's what Serly had in mind right now about Sasha. Serly can only hope that her mother can be like Sasha who is beautiful, kind, always caring and always affectionate with her later, the hope of a child who thirsts for a mother's affection for her.
