Father's Status On My Son's Deed
33. Thankful to meet good people

"Assalamualaikum, Neng Asha, introduce me Amira. Welcome to our hut. Oh yes, that girl was my son, her name was Tiara. We are just two, " said Amira so out and salute Asha.

"Waalaikumsalam, yes, ma'am, thank you. My name is Asha, surely Bik Ika has also told the same story Mother," said Asha with a smile.

"Why call mom? I'm so old, call me mbak."

"Yes, Miss Amira. Excuse me for where Amira's husband is going? sorry if I was presumptuous," asked Asha who actually felt bad.

"Oh, it's okay, my husband died two years ago because of illness so, you don't have to worry."

Asha nodded in relief, she would have refused if Amira still had a husband. He does not want there will be slander if he lives in this house. However she is a woman even though there is already Amira, it is still different. Asha just wanted to be on guard.

"Yesterday my mother did contact me and told me that you would stay here. Yes ... You know for yourself our house must be very different from your house in the city. Small and uncomfortable."

"No, no, Ma'am. This house is very nice and comfortable, especially this rural area. There is no pollution like in the city. If it's about work, is there a job here that can bring children?"

Amira frowned. "You want to find a job? It's best not to, even then there's a mother angry with me because you're working."

"Don't do it, Ma'am. I have to raise my son. I can't possibly depend on Amira and Bik Ika forever. Any work I'll do as long as it's halal."

"But then mom will be mad at me for letting you work."

"No, let me talk to Bik Ika later, surely he will also understand so, is there a job that can bring children, Ma'am?"

Amira seemed to think, it would seem difficult to find a job that could bring children, unless the job was brought home. But for now there is no. To open a store also needs capital, while he does not have that much money.

"It doesn't seem like anything, but you just try to go to the big store up ahead. Yesterday there were workers who stopped, you can apply there. Let my son take care of Tiara when he comes home from school. He also won't mind, my son is used to being home never going anywhere. He must be happy if there's a friend."

He also did not want to part with his son. Even if only for a moment. From birth, Asha took care of her own child without asking for help from baby sitters. All done alone, only occasionally assisted Bik Ika. Now if you have to let your son be with someone else, it feels like she is not willing.

"It's okay you don't worry. Uh, but didn't you just give birth? You should wait for your child to be two or three months old, then you stay. Infants your child's age should be maintained, besides I'm the same mother also do not require you to immediately work. All this time your family has been very good with us, just think of this as our return to your family. Don't you feel sorry for your child if you're left behind?"

Asha was silent while looking at her son's face. True what Amira said, he actually did not have the heart to leave his son at this time. He currently also still has the money handle from Bik Ika, there is also a necklace of his who had wanted to make aqiqah for the son, but now it is not so because it has gone from home. It's best that Asha's money is used to survive before work.

Aqiqah is also not obligated to everyone, only for those who can afford it. One day if he has more sustenance, then he will buy a goat for his son. For now it is better to use for needs first. The development of Khairi was more important to him.

"Well, Miss Amira, I'll be working when my son is two or three months away."

Amira nodded her head, nor did she force Asha too much to work, as long as she could still meet the needs of the house. Previously the mother had warned her not to allow Asha to work. However, since it was the woman who insisted on finding a job for the sake of her son's future, she was also speechless. They also talked for a moment, until finally Amira invited Asha to the room that had been provided.

The room was definitely not like the one Asha had once occupied. However, it doesn't matter to women, which is important for her right now the place is comfortable. Khairi had also been silent in his arms, not even though the boy was crying. Like understanding what's happening right now.

"Asha, this is a baby dress for Khairi. Although it is used, but still good, it is still worth wearing as well. I saw that you had brought nothing. This is also my negligee, you can wear it even though it is not new as well" said Amira while handing over a bag of crackles. Actually she felt bad, but could not let Asha wear the clothes.

"Thank you, Miss Amira, you have been very good with me. This alone is enough" said Asha with teary eyes.

He is very lucky to know good people like them. Hopefully one day the woman can repay the kindness of this family. Though I don't know when it came. If there were none of them, somehow Asha's fate might be that she would be hanging around the streets without knowing the direction.

Asha also bathed her son and changed the clothes with those given by Amira, not to forget also changed her diaper that was full. While wearing clothes, Tiara looks into Asha's room because the door was not closed after bathing her son. In the room there is no bathroom so, have to go back.

"Tante, if you want to take a shower, take a shower. Let my baby sister take care of me" Tiara said with a smile looking at the adorable looking baby.

From the first he really wanted to have a sister, unfortunately until the father died, his mother did not go pregnant as well. Now when someone comes with a baby, of course the girl is happy. Tiara was able to express her affection for the baby. He was sure Asha would not mind either.
