"hey handsome boy, how was that at school?"
Samuel is sitting next to me. Closer to Zayyen who was busy eating donuts made by mama.
"Seruuu once uncle....."
"Wahhh...Is there a beautiful girl Zayyen?"
"There's....... Felicia pretty"'s"
I laughed with Samuel. This kid is so innocent.
"Hahahaha, you've grown up too ya little boss, already know a pretty girl"
"But Dady said, onty alin is the most beautiful"
I was silent when I heard that. Samuel looked at me. Mas Aditya over there just smiled, I looked at him not accept.
"What?"
The man acted like he didn't know anything.
"Dady said that this morning, but onty alin is beautiful, I love onty"
Zayyen made me turn my gaze towards Aditya's mas. The boy hugged me tightly.
"Well, that's right, onty Karin is the most beautiful woman in the world"
Now Samuel is the one who. I'm staring.
"Any onty wouldn't say pretty?"
"Thank you so much Uncle Sam,"
All men are the same, good at playing with words.
"Son Aditya, please eat his snacks"
Mama hands with a few glasses of tea on the tray. Mas Aditya nodded and grabbed the donuts at the table.
"Mommy's so happy to see you"
Mama started a conversation with Aditya. A daughter-in-law who will soon become a former daughter-in-law.
"Yes ma, I'm sorry Aditya only today can visit"
"Mom understand, just relax"
"Tante, this is a new recipe?"
Samuel joined in on the opposite topic. Mama looks confused.
"No, it's the same doughnut"
"But how is Tan different?"
"What's different about Sam? Not good, huh?"
"Not Tan, it's much better. Good markotop deh"
I elbowed Samuel. Then mama laughed.
"Joke from your complex fathers Sam"
I laughed at her behavior just now. The man looked at me triumphantly. Successfully make the conversation not sound serious.
"It should have been the fathers"
He returned my taunts.
"But the candidate is not there yet, still not ready"
I'm speechless. The man just kept staring at me when he talked about the matter of his future companion. Makes me misbehave. I feel like he's talking about me.
"Udah ah, why also talk mate. Let god arrange it"
The man refocused on the food in front of him. Know if I'm uncomfortable when talking about it.
After speaking, Aditya and Zayyen said goodbye. They're going home. He said he wanted to stay at Yuni's mom's house, Zayyen kangen with Inara.
At school, I felt like a real parent too. Zayyen called me momy. It's just a formality, but I feel a great sense of pleasure.
I went back to thinking whether the decision to part with Ams Aditya was the right one or not. How will I be the maximum to take care of Aditya's children? But I'm not ready to go back to live with him. The wound's still wet. Not dry yet and ready to start.
"Part 2 Chapter 26)
"Rin, this morning we're going to the kids' place?"
Samuel came with a bright face. He didn't wear a suit this time, just wore a shirt. I was quite surprised by him today, going to the office with this stelan will only invite the anger of Anton. But what can be done, he's the heir to this law firm.
"Now? Don't you have to wait for their survey results?"
It's a matter of home reading program that we salt together. I guess it took them a long time to pinpoint the location and the target. But this is too nimble.
"They're done, so we have to come to his place today. Let's see how enthusiastic the kids are. If it's less, we can fix it next week"
I nodded and immediately cleaned up my things.
"But....What permission? Isn't this the weekend?"
"That's easy, let me tell papa"
After listening to Samuel's explanation, I felt a little ready. So I don't have to be busy thinking about office permits. There's a boss' son who's gone with me.
"It's far away?"
"You said it was better on the lake. Let's reminisce about your program in college first"
"Yes, anyway"
"But I don't think they agree, it's a long way from Sam's faculty"
"If you're dedicated and have concrete goals, they don't care about Rin. You used to be that way too"
Samuel is right. My college friends and I used to be busy teaching kids by the lake. We never even had a weekend to teach, the reason being that the kids would be busier on weekends.
So every time we go home from college we have to take public transportation in order to arrive on time. If you miss the bus, you have to take an angkot.
we arrived at the lake. There have been many small children sitting under a shady tree.there are 5 students who are busy explaining how to read. The children looked enthusiastically watching the blackboard in front of them.
We walked closer. One of the students came to us.
"Everything is going well, this is beyond our predictions. They were very enthusiastic"
I nodded with satisfaction. I also never thought they would be so open with this program. Compared to my past, the first day of teaching was only 3 children. The second day was more tragic, there were only 1 child. .
"Hopefully this holds up, so it's not just today"
Samuel added. He must also understand my worries right now. Fear that the number of children will decrease at the next meeting
"We have anticipated it in several ways, brother, such as gift giving that will make them feel at home to learn here"
"We have also coordinated with some parents, they agree as long as it is not too long and not every day."
"Good, later for the required fee, later we ask for details yes"
"Okay, we'll recap and we'll send it"
"How's Rin?"
I smiled. Then I looked towards Samuel.
"Thank you very much Sam. I feel alive again. You help her"
"This is also the goal of all of us. Hopefully it will stay this same"
"Yes, I wish that too"
"Do you want to join? I want you to teach them."
I nodded straight at Sam. That man knows exactly what I want now. I didn't delay it, immediately I walked towards them.
"Hello, brother's name, sister Karin. Let's learn to read".
I'm back to feeling sane.
