Dusk For Nathan 2
81

Nathan stopped his car in the yard of a house that was quite old and there were many children playing in front of his house. I saw a car they knew very well. They cheered happily and some ran to the car and some went inside screaming for the mother.

Nathan gets out of the car and is quickly surrounded by children scrambling to kiss the back of Nathan's hand. Nabila and Randy also Ryan just smiled to see Nathan so loved by the boy2.

" This is Om Nathan. Salim dong too." Nathan introduces Randy and Nabila.

" Maashiah Allah.. Nathan." The exclaim of a middle-aged woman with a long veil covering her body approached Nathan happily. Glowing eyes as if an irresistible longing were now poured out.

Nathan immediately kissed the back of the woman's hand alternately with Randy as well as Nabila and Ryan.

" I miss you so much, son. Thank God the mother's prayer is answered." Said the mother while embracing Nathan's waist while guiding him into the house building.

" Oh yeah. Wait, Mom. I got by-by the kids." Nathan immediately approached his car again and opened the trunk of the car. It turns out that it's not just the toys that Nathan buys, there are some foods and clothes that Nathan bought before meeting Randy.

" That's a lot, son." Said Bu Ratih received a parcel from Nathan and the toys that Nathan bought were directly distributed to children.

" The game is a change. Don't scramble." Nathan said when there were several children who pulled each other on one toy.

Nathan was sitting on a wooden chair in the front room of the house. Nathan seemed to pay attention to the entire state of the building that the wall paint began to peel off and there are some walls that have begun to crack because they are consumed by age.

" I'm so glad you're visiting, Nath." Said Bu Ratih while serving three cups of warm tea as well as several pieces of cake.

" Dusk not come?" Ask Mrs Ratih again.

" He's resting, Mom. We have many guests."

" Is there an event at your house?"

" Suffering. Only Gio's friends and his parents came to see Gio." Nathan replied flatly.

" Gio's sick?" Asked Bu Ratih with an anxious face.

" Suffering. It was just a few days ago that we were devastated. Gio's been kidnapped." Nathan replied with a calm face.

" Oh God.. How then?"

" Thank God. Gio was saved. They're helping me." Nathan pointed at Nabila and Randy with his hands.

" Thank you, son, for helping." Said Mrs Ratih with a sincere face.

" It should be, Mom. Nathan and I have been friends for a long time. I'll definitely help Nathan if it's in trouble." Sahut Randy with a polite tone of speech.

It's getting dark. Nathan, please tell Mrs Ratih not to forget she handed over some money she had prepared neatly wrapped in a brown envelope.

" Thank you." Said Mrs Ratih and let go of Nathan and also Randy and Nabila.

Nabila smiled at Nathan who always did good to others. The admiration for Nathan's figure is growing. He's not just making donations. But Nathan took note of the development of each of the orphanage's children. Even their school is underwritten by Nathan.

" It's his smile." Tegur Randy on Nabila who continues to review the smile on his face.

" Oh my god.why do people have to be husbands!" Nabila to himself.

" That's why don't baper." Syndicated Randy. Nabila immediately hit Randy's arm which was holding the gear.

" It hurts, Nab." Omel Randy's.

" Dishew.."

Friska stared intently at the photo of Dusk that she had purposely attached to her dresser. Furiously she scribbled the smiling face of Dusk with her red lipstick.

" Mama what else?" Asked a little girl with an innocent face full of fear.

Friska who heard her daughter's trembling voice immediately turned to her and threw her sweet smile at her second daughter.

" What's up Rumi?" Tanya Friska tried to distract Rumi who had been glued to the photo that she scribbled earlier.

" I want milk. But Auntie's not in the kitchen. Said I asked for my mom." Rumi said with her innocent face.

Friska gently stroked her child's puffed cheeks and immediately led him out of his room.

" What's Anggi again?" Friska asked while holding Rumi's hand towards the kitchen.

" Study again."

Friska immediately took a box of Rumi's milk and made Rumi's milk in a glass that Rumi used. When finalized. Friska gave the milk to her daughter. Rumi quickly drained the milk to nothing. Friska invites Rumi to sit down for a while with her. He hadn't talked to his son in a long time like this.

" Mommy wants to ask Rumi what she thinks about this." Friska said, showing Nathan's photo from her phone.

Rumi looked at the photo. " Is this papa?" Ask Rumi who does not know her father at all. Because when Rumi was in Friska seven months. Her husband left Friska just like that.

" No. But what do you think of him as Papa Rumi?" Ask Friska.

Rumi simply fell silent while staring at the photo. " Mom. Rumi's sleepy." Said Rumi did not seem to understand to judge someone.

Friska took a deep breath and immediately took Rumi to her room and Anggi who Friska deliberately placed in one room.

" Anggis. Accompany your sister." Said Friska to her eldest daughter who was ten years old.

" Yes, Ma." Anggi replied and stopped his activities that had been reading books since.

Anggi gently stroked the hair of his four-year-old sister.

" sister. Papa's face is rich how is it?" Rumi asked as she looked at her brother's face.

" Why did Rumi ask Papa?" Anggi felt strange with his sister because all this time he never even once asked their father's questions.

" Let my mom see my photo. Very handsome brother. Is that papa or isn't it?" Rumi's still guessing.

" Is there a mustache?"

Rumi shook her head." Nothing, Brother."

" As you remember brother. Papa's got a mustache." Said Anggi who only still remembers the face of his father even though he had been missing for almost four years without news.

" Who is that, brother?"

Anggi shrugged his shoulders. " Don't know. Already ah. Sleeping deck. Mom knows you haven't slept yet. You're scolded." Said Anggi and Rumi directly tilted her body. Anggi painstakingly tidied up the blanket that covered his little sister's body.
