"could dong Bu." replied Alin and took a plastic Tiara bag partially.
"let's go there because we have to take public transport" Tiara said
Alin nodded, stood next to Tiara and stopped public transport.
"whose name is it?"
"i'm Alin Ma!"
Because the distance is not too far they immediately go down and walk a little.
"son Alin wait here first yes, I take a drink first." Tiara went in and out again shortly with a tray containing two glasses of syrupy water.

Flashback off
The next day...
Alin came to his mother's room, saw her mother was awake and pensive as soon as Alin's mother called.
"Allin here son."
"is my mom awake?" alin said as he approached his mother's bed
"Alin, try to take the box under the bed of this mother" his mother asked
Alin immediately bowed and tried to take the box that his mother ordered. The small, old-looking box is now in Alin's hands. "this box is Ma'am?" Alin showed the box to his mother.
"he's right, open it."
Alin opened the box looking at the contents inside, there was a letter and a photo. "this is what Mom?"
"the box is yours, take it and take it wherever you go. Listen to me for a story."
Alin closed the box again looking at his mother's face.
"Alin knows that the mother is very dear to Alin, the mother's love is only for Alin, but sorry mother has not been able to make Alin happy like other children. Until whenever Alin will remain the mother's only favorite child, a treasure that mother ever had. And I think it's a good time to tell everything, Alin for a minute you're not the son of Nak's mother. I found you in front of mom's door with that little box. It's the only link for you if you want to find the whereabouts of both of your biological parents."
"Alin is not angry with mother, has kept Alin's secret all this time because mother waited for the right time, the right time, the time when you're ready and you're ready to lose yourself and see you go back to your birth parents."
"forgive me, my son, has made you work hard, when you should be in school and working mothers, but you instead replace the position of working mothers. I am grateful to be able to care for Alin to this extent, grateful Alin to be an independent daughter not weak not to fear anything, and most importantly happy mother mother managed to educate Alin to be a son of Sholehah. Stay that way, son."
Alin had cried softly to hear everything his mother said, and immediately hugged his mother. "mother do not talk anymore mother should rest mother has talked a lot deh. mother will always be a mother for Alin, Alin, and Alin stays a mother's son forever, Alin just wants to be the same mother." starts to sob still by hugging her mother.
"my mother is relieved to have told you, I was afraid you would be angry with mom, Alhamdulillah it turns out that you are a good child.I'm sorry, mom, son. mother loves and loves you." said her mother whose voice grew louder and immediately embraced the mother's hand on Alin's shoulder was released.
