Duda But Perjaka
Chapter 26

"Bun, tomorrow Chaca comes home, yes" said Chaca who was leaning spoiled on the mother's arm.

They were relaxing in the garden in front of the house. Mother rubbed her head gently. "Yes, Son. You should go home. Your parents must be worried," said Mother softly.

"Ah, no, Bun. They're more worried about losing money than they are about losing Chaca" Chaca grumbled her lips.

"Sstt, can't say that. In any case they were Chaca's parents," Mother sambar looked at him sharply. "When, if Chaca wants to come here again. This house is always open to Chaca" he continued in a soft voice.

Chaca just nodded. He was sure that the only one worried about him was Bi Ratih. He was afraid that if he told Bi Ratih, it would be conveyed to his parents. And ended up with Chaca losing her comfort for these few days.

"You like Gandhi, Cha?" shoot Mother making Chaca gasp. Body stiffens. In his heart he wondered. How did mommy know?

Long inaudible answer made Mother tekik slowly. "Not to be so tense. Looks like you guys like each other. It doesn't matter if you are in a relationship. As long as it stays within its limits. And not disturb your school. Be aware that if your values decline due to dating, the mother is the first person who will separate the two of you!" firmly Mother.

Hurriedly Chaca tightened her embrace. "Chaca promises to stay focused on learning, Mother. And take care of yourself" Chaca replied quickly.

In the afternoon, Gandhi walked back down the street cheerfully. Tired after working all day as if worn off when remembering Chaca.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mother, Chaca," Gandhi said after entering the grounds. Then kissed Mother's hand and was about to hug Chaca.

But quickly Mother's hand held Gandhi's chest. "Eiitt, not yet muhrim. Take a shower first!" prevent Mother from throwing sharp glances.

"Ehehee, yes, Bun," Gandhi said, re-establishing his body and turning right into the house.

The two women chuckled amusedly at the sight of their beloved man coming home. No one knows if Chaca's face is blushing.

The sun has risen from the eastern horizon. A warm and sunny morning, but it feels cloudy in the orphanage.

Yes, Chaca decided to go home. He was afraid that his parents would track down his whereabouts and tear apart this place.

"Take yourself, son. Come here again sometime," said Mother sad. But he realized it was impossible to keep Chaca stay, because he still had parents.

"Yes Bun, definitely!" Chaca hugged him tightly while sobbing.

Gandhi, who is on a day off from work, has decided to drive Chaca. He had taken a car driving course, and a few days ago also bought a car from his hard work. Even though it is in a second state and paid several times.

"Dong dong crying, yuk! keburu. Usually when the weekend streets rame," said Gandhi damaging the atmosphere of the day.

Finally, Chaca took off her embrace. Walk towards his car while waving his hand.

"Be careful, Brother Chaca," cried the children of the home.

Unable to say, Chaca simply nodded. While closing his mouth. So as not to sob. One hand waved. From this he learned the true meaning of happiness. Not because of treasure or throne. But the sincerity and compassion of those closest to us.

Gandhi opened the car door. Then sit behind the wheel and start driving Chaca's car.

"Well, how are you going to go home?" ask Chaca after they're on the road.

"It's not easy to think about it" he answered, rubbing Chaca's head. "Are you ready to meet your mom? They're at home, right on weekends?" gandhi focused on the front.

"Huum. At most, I'll be angry" said Chaca staring out the window. Imagine his father's reaction.

"If anything says yes, I love you. I'm afraid anything will happen to you" said Gandhi gently stroking Chaca's head.

Chaca hugged her arm tightly. Until he tilted his body. "Gue loves Om too" he said, giving a kiss on Gandhi's cheek.

"Maeca!" pekik Gandhi was shocked.
