In contrast to Gandhi, he was enjoying dinner with his extended family at the orphanage. The warmth was so felt there. Even with just a potluck, they were very grateful.

After dinner, the children will learn. Gandhi as the eldest taught his younger siblings first, then he taught himself.

"Gandhi," call Mother to open the door of the room.

"Yes, Bun." The man stopped his learning activities. Sit next to the mother.

He immediately put his head in the lap of the mother. Her hand reflexively stroked Gandhi's head gently. Gandhi's eyes were even softened.

"You must be tired, right? How's that work?"

"Yes, Bun. Because it is still a trial not told that is difficult. Just sands," Gandhi said with a big smile.

"Wah later the arms of the mother child can be muscular dong. Itung-itung fitness yes, son," said the Mother gave encouragement.

Gandhi opened his eyes, his gaze immediately catching the tears of the mother who was ready to drip. The man could not see his mother crying.

Immediately Gandhi sat down, hugging the body of the old woman who took care of him from the baby. "Mother don't be sad, Gandhi was on his way. Later if Gandhi payday, half for Mother.

The woman shook her head quickly, "No, son. Save that money for your college expenses later. Your journey is still long, Mother wants the children of Mother all successful. The spirit, dear." Mother Hanin touched Gandhi's shoulders.

"Doain Gandhi yes, Bun. Gandhi loved Mother" he said, leaning his head comfortably.

"Mother loves you more. Yaudah there continued to learn, do not sleep at night yes," Mother's message cupped her son's cheeks.

Then Mother went out of the room, giving Gandhi space and time to study. The teenager was tireless. He felt challenged and more excited.

"I don't even know her name, and she also calls me brownie's big sister. Ahaha! There's-there," murmured Gandhi speaking to himself.

"Are we going to see you again? Ah, I hope so."

Soon he woke up from the daydream and returned to learning. Gandhi's days were full of hard work. Two weeks of semester break he used to work full time on building projects.

When the school returned, Gandhi said he wanted to keep working on Saturdays and Sundays, his school holidays. Luckily his foreman was understanding, seeing Gandhi's spirit finally willing to accept the teenager.

Since his last meeting with Chaca, Gandhi has not met the little girl who has always filled his mind. Although he did not dare to dream of anything, he only hoped that someday he would be reunited again when he had succeeded one day.

Until, graduation day arrived. Although not the best ranking, but the results of Gandhi's test did not disappoint. Currently, it is the announcement. All students come with their guardians. Gandhi certainly came with his mother.

"Mother, sorry. Gandhi could not get the best ranking" Gandhi said after submitting the results of his exam.

"It's okay, son. The top 10 only Mother is very grateful. Mother is proud of you. You can divide your time well. Work, school, you're a great kid in your eyes." Mother Hanin touched Gandhi's hands, channeling her spirit.

"Let's eat good. We celebrate your graduation. Shopping to the market yuk," invite Mother with enthusiasm after the event is over.

"Ready, Mother!"

The two rushed to the market on a mini bus to shop. Then continued cooking with his sisters in the orphanage. And a big dinner with various side dishes became the happiness of all the residents of the orphanage.

'Mother, pray for Gandhi to succeed. Can make Mother and sisters happy. After I get my diploma, I will start looking for a better job, Gandhi said in his heart as he stared at the rest of his extended family.
