How Will You Say Goodbye?
SEASON II - Orphanage

Ammar holding his little girl's hand, Lesya looked up at Ammar with the sweetest smile. While Shaka, the boy enthusiastically dropped all his toys from the trunk of the car with the help of a driver who drove their trip.

Lesya's small steps were accompanied by Ammar's bright smile. They also arrived at the doorstep of an old building that looked very exotic in the village-very striking compared to other buildings or houses around it.

They had not arrived in the area long ago. Areas that are far from the hustle and bustle of the city and avoid air pollution. Cold and soothing area. Rey accidentally lends a driver to Ammar, so that the journey of Ammar and his children is more comfortable.

Ammar knocked on the door. Not waiting for long, there were steps approaching. It seems like the person from inside the building is the one who is about to open the door.

"Good day." said a middle-aged man to Ammar and Lesya.

Ammar smiled at him. "Good day.." Reply Ammar. "With Mr Mirza?" tanyakanya.

The middle-aged man said. "Right, I'm Mirza. Who are you, son?" tanyanya politely.

"I'm Ammar, sir. I came here because I heard you had an orphanage." replied Ammar.

The man looked at Ammar with a smile that did not subside. "You're Doni's friend?" guess it.

Ammar nodded politely and the man invited Ammar and his children to enter the building.

"Please sit down." asked Mr. Mirza to Ammar and his children.

They also sit on an elongated rattan chair, the chair is covered with pads so that guests feel comfortable when sitting on it.

Mr. Mirza asked a servant to make Ammar and the children drink. Although Amamr rejected it subtly but Mr. Mirza still kekeuh feel no objection.

Ammar glanced at the room where he now stood. Very unique room. The design is dominated by bamboo, rattan and wood. Very rustic but still elegant.

"Then, this was the main building of the Panti. But now the orphanage has moved in. To a better place." explained Mr. Mirza when he saw Ammar looking around.

"Why was it moved, sir?" ask Ammar.

"Our orphanage used to be one that was open to the public. This is why the main building is definitely easy for others to find. But unfortunately, a few years back, we have a problem." said Mr. Mirza.

"That's the matter?"

"Yes, there are some people who adopt children but instead exploit adopted children to make money at an early age."

Ammar was a little surprised by the news.

"For that reason, we're limiting the people who come in here. We no longer make this orphanage an open-air home. Only a few people who know and have made a new appointment are we to allow and tell the whereabouts of our real home" added Mr. Mirza.

"Isn't that troublesome, sir? I mean it's not easy. Hiding the parlors from the audience."

"That's how it is, but in the meantime the only way we can do to address the people who are taking advantage of the children is being replaced. We love them, care for and love so we don't want to until they experience it again."

"In the future we will further tighten outreach in order to see who will adopt the children of the home. We used to have no access to monitor their foster parents. But it's getting better now."

"Thank God, hopefully things can get better, sir" said Ammar sincerely.

"Yes, so this building is just a reception room for guests. We will first investigate the background of the guests who will adopt the child, make sure all the data is genuine and release the children to the foster parents who will really love them." timpal Sir Mirza again.

Ammar nodded his head.

"Well, son Ammar myself.I can help what for you?" Mr. Mirza glanced at the two Ammar children with a smile.

"Look, Sir. I promise to take my kids on vacation. To relax my mind as well." Kelakar Ammar chuckled at the end of his sentence. "If the holidays are just for sightseeing it seems to be commonplace. Therefore I invite them to share in the orphanage." continued Ammar.

Mr. Mirza smiled as he nodded his head in understanding Ammar's words. "And Doni suggested you come here?" tanyakanya.

"That's how it is, sir."

"other intentions? For example?" ask Ammar astonished.

"Ah, no-no. I'm just kidding. Let's go to the building in the back." Mr. Mirza immediately told one of his assistants to help Ammar bring the goods that Ammar had brought from the city center to the rural area where this orphanage is located.

The items carried by Ammar also varied, ranging from textbooks, decent clothing belonging to his children, toys and food ingredients.

All of the items were gradually carried by the Assistant and Driver who drove them to the back building that contained an orphanage.

When Ammar was waiting, he looked around. The air was very cool, probably because the area was surrounded by hills and mountains. The trees were still shady, and during the day there was no heat, not even the mist from the mountain seemed to appear shadowing the vision. The sound of birds chirping, the howls of forest beasts faintly sounded. But it adds its own charm to this place.

"Do you run this home alone?"

"Here with my wife. But since my wife died, I managed it with several assistants who were indeed employed here. There are those from the social service and there are also from me personally who do employ them" said Mr. Mirza.

Ammar nodded. Lesya has taken out clothes worthy of use from the box that has been straddled earlier.

"Darling, don't dismantle it. We must first acquaint themselves with them yes." said Ammar softly and Lesya also nodded in understanding. He stopped his activity.

Shaka too, she took off some toys she was holding. Put the toy back in the cardboard, even if it breaks the order and becomes a little messy.

"Pa, Shaka's hungry..." Shaka stroked his rumbling stomach. Ammar also realized that if it was time for lunch, he should have brought the children to eat first but he forgot because along the way there was no place to eat, considering this is a remote area that may not have a cafe or something. Ammar had intended to invite you to eat in a simple restaurant but the former home exotic building was first seen and actually made him forget to look for food. Gosh darn.

"Are you hungry?" Mr. Mirza is against Shaka. "It's okay, soon the children of the home will eat. We can eat together on the side porch." said Mr. Mirza still with his piety.

Ammar felt bad. He rejected it subtly.

"It's okay, son. You take them on vacation to the right place. They learn to share in this place so they also have to learn to socialize too right?" Mr. Mirza convinced Ammar. "We'll eat together. There is a new chef here. The cooking is so good." Imbuh Mr. Mirza while giving his thumb.

Ammar nodded. They're gathered in some kind of hall of the parlour. There, Mr. Mirza gathered all the children of the orphanage to receive Ammar's help. Shaka and Lesya are very enthusiastic, they meet other children who are the same age as the two of them.

They get acquainted, share clothes, food and toys. After that they also entered the side veranda, where the children of the home will usually do lunch sessions regularly.

"Dianna, Shaka.. You are here first yes, if meal time has arrived you just follow the meal" Ammar told his two children.

Lesya looked at Ammar. "Where are you going?" ask Lesya.

"Papa find the toilet first. All Papa wants to call Om Doni. Okay?"

The two children nodded and followed the instructions of one of the managers of the home. They sat together with the other children. Sounds boisterous, joking inescapable.

Ammar noticed her children's fluffy smiles. He was happy to see that sight. Slowly Ammar began to set foot in search of the presence of the toilet.

After asking an assistant to Mr. Mirza, Ammar walked through several aisles to reach the bathroom. There he washed his tired hands and face.

"No Ammar, don't think about it here. After your promise to the children is done, then you look for it to London" said Ammar encouraged himself.

Ammar wanted to keep his promise to his children first, he had already invited his children on vacation two months ago and fortunately it has been achieved now. At first he was confused to take his son on vacation where. He has no purpose and is still in a dilemma with his feelings. But Rey suggests she take Shaka and Lesya to the orphanage alone. Although Rey's idea wasn't bad, Ammar thought he would take the children to the parlors around town.

Unfortunately, the idea had to run aground after Doni's apocalypse a few days ago.

"If in the city it is common. What if it's near the hills. There's an orphanage that I know the owner" Doni said.

Finally, with various considerations, somehow Ammar's heart also wants to visit the home suggested by Doni. Not bad indeed, instead he was very grateful and felt his burden slightly lifted.

When Ammar came out of the bathroom, he accidentally caught a familiar sound in his sense of hearing. With slow steps, Ammar began to approach the source of the sound.
