He'S Not You
Chapter 10

Nothing has changed, everything looks the same. It's just that the houses of some residents are not what they used to be. There are some residents to repair their homes properly and better when seen. Some of them still look the same nine years ago.

The road, never changed, to the halfway house was still the same. But, the halfway house was now not like it used to be. The halfway house was two-story, and, it has a fence and there is a large white signpost with the writing that Lintang strives for children to stop by before he gets a scholarship to study abroad.

Foundation, halfway house.

There were three small children playing in the courtyard of the house. As Lintang opened the fence, the three children looked towards him. Just looking, not daring to approach and Latitude who approached him to ask.

" Deck, can I ask you a question?" Lintang said, making the three six-year-old children nod at the same time.

" Is Brother Ferdi or Sister Tina not there?" Ask again.

" Mas Ferdi doesn't exist, there's only mbak tina." Answer the boy.

" Please call me tina can't."

" Can?" He answered quickly, running into the halfway house leaving two friends who were staring at Lintang.

" What's playing?" Tanya Latitude. Somehow he could set up a halfway house for children who were abandoned by his parents or did not have parents.

Like he used to be, abandoned due to divorce to his two parents.

A halfway house full of struggle, full of independence without anyone helping him first. Houses where once only occupied children, now even more. And get donors and help from the government. No need to worry anymore about the food that will not come when. No more children busking on the side of the road to make him angry, and no longer need to be embarrassed because they can not go to school.

Now the facilities in the halfway house have been fulfilled, and children who are in the halfway house can go to school until high school with free fees from the government. Even though they know if there will be something called bullying.

" More marbles mbak?" Answer the kinky-haired boy.

" Which other one?"

" It's in the tv." Answer the other boy.

Latitude nodded. Yes, in the halfway house there is also a medium-sized tube tv. Lintang does not let children stop by feeling sad, because they can not watch cartoons like other children.

Lintang used to accidentally see a child stopping by the door of the house who turned out that the child was watching cartoon tv without daring to enter the house.

Miris, Latitude's heart was as sick and sad as it was to see her. He was determined to buy a medium-sized tv with the money work as a writer, for children to stop first, so they no longer watch at people's homes.

The sound of the fence squeaking made Lintang and the two boys look back. Four teenagers dressed in high school have gone home.

Lintang noticed one by one the faces of the four teenagers. And he smiled as he recognized the two school-clothed boys had grown up.

" Bony, Anton." Latitude murmured, those who had not realized his presence were busy talking to the others.

One of the teenagers nudged the other arm to be silent when he saw a guest who came to the halfway house.

Of course Boni and Anton were staring at the guest. But that face was no stranger to Boni or Anton's eyes. The two teenagers were shocked to not believe what they were seeing. And screamed calling the woman's name.

Boni and Anton were so happy to see the presence of Lintang, they walked quickly towards Lintang who was waiting for his arrival and rushed to hug the woman who had been meritorious all this time in their lives.

" I miss Lintang." Said Boni, crying hugging Lintang.

" I also miss Latitude." Anton added, do not want to lose hugging a woman with such shoulder-length hair. Which now even makes Lintang smile should hear it.

" Mom also miss you guys, but yeah don't gini also hug it! You can't breathe!" Lintang said, not feeling angry at the hug of two teenagers who had been considered as his sister.

Anton and Boni let go of a hug, still crying seeing Lintang at the halfway house. They had not met for nine years, and they still remembered the face of Lintang despite the hair that no longer extended as before.

" Bony, Anton?" Call Tina, see two teenage boys crying in front of a shoulder-haired woman.

" Sir Tina, look who's coming?" Said Boni, with the Latitude turning to face Tina.

Of course, Tina's reaction was not initially to know who the woman was between Boni and Anton. But after being looked at and remembering who the woman was, Tina's perfectly rounded eyes were shocked when she could not believe who was in front of her now.

" Latitude Ma'am!" Excited Tina." This is latitude, right?" Ask again, to make sure whether or not the woman in front of him is Latitude or not.

" Yes, Tina." Reply Lintang smiled widely.

As Boni and Anton did, Tina simply hugged Lintang. Crying in the arms of a woman who has been considered a brother and also a good angel during her life.

If Tina had not met Lintang, perhaps her life would never have been like this now. Tina was the second child to be cared for by Lintang, after ferdi.

Tina is a street busker who lives a kara when her mother leaves her and chooses to live with her new husband until he is dumped in the streets.

Meet with Latitude, like grace. The latitude that used to be a warrior and brave girl, a school girl who never tired to meet the needs of children stop by.

Girls who have fought together with children stop by to realize the dream so that children stop by not abandoned and get help from the government or donors.

Rubbed Tina's shoulders gently as she cried in her arms. Never imagined, is this what it feels like to hold a longing for nine years not to meet.

There is a sense of being moved and happy, it turns out they still remember him who never gave news so far.

" Lintang Ma'am how are you? Why don't you ever tell us? Have you forgotten about us?" Tina Yoke.

" I'm good, you're how are you. The others how's it going?" Tanya Lintang, rubbing Tina's cheek wet.

Actually feel guilty, never tell the kids stop by. But he will never forget to ask the children to stop at his friends who are also still loyal donors in the halfway house.

Not yet Tina replied, the sound of the tossa motor stopped right in front of the fence. Make another teenager immediately open the gate wide. The tossa motorbike went into the courtyard of the halfway house, Lintang knows who was on the tosaa motorbike.

He's the first kid to be helped in the latitude when he was beaten by market thugs.
