That morning Karina left early because of the morning shift. He was ready to leave until his cell phone rang. Karina glanced at her cell phone screen showing the name of the orphanage mother who contacted her until she immediately picked it up. The mother never contacted him if it wasn't for something important.
"Yes Mom?"
"Son Karin. Hiks..hiks..." Hoarseness and sobs heard from across the phone made Karina anxious.
"What's wrong, ma'am?" Karina asked trying to calm down even though she herself was also anxious.
"The landlords of the parlour came, son, they gave us until tomorrow to move." Sobs are still heard, the mother of the parlour explained with a whim.
"What is the land owner?" Karina was still not loading because she felt heartache to hear the cries of the mother of the home that she had considered like her own birth mother.
The mother of the home finally told me, if this morning the landowner who built the home home where the children's home will be bought by someone. They were given only two days to move. Because the land is not the property of the home building, the home mother is forced to agree even though every month they pay the land rent.
And because the land is already desired someone to buy at a fairly expensive price makes the landowner dark eyes and choose to sell it rather than rented by an orphanage. Although not rude, the landowner requires to immediately move on the wishes of the new landowner.
If it does not move immediately the landowner is forced to forcibly evict later if the deadline given is not immediately moved.
Karina's heart breaks hearing the story of the mother of the orphanage increasingly makes her feel sad. He did understand a little about the land owner where the orphanage building was located, he was very calculated. Although the rent is not expensive it still burdens the orphanage because their income is only from donors. That's not much either.
"How much did the landowner say ma'am?" Karina asked because she knew what the landowner meant. He hoped his severance pay would be enough to pay to keep them from being evicted.
"That's a lot, son, we better move on." Answer the home.
"How much ma'am, may Karin's money be enough."
"Du-two ..." Reply mother of the home doubt.
"Two what Mom?"
"Two hundred million."
"A-a.. Oh.. I saw my money first, Mom?" Answer Karina.
"That's a lot of money, son, but the land isn't that expensive." Mom's speech comforting home.
"No ma'am, Karin's savings are there, you can use it first. Later ask Mr Dadang to take care of it, ma'am, so that it is directly behind the name of the certificate?"
"But son, that's your savings.it's..."
"Mom, Karin's mom already considered my own real mother, so it's okay, just wear it."
"Thank you son, I'm always troubling you."
"Mom, it's all for the sake of the sisters. You're like my own family." Answer Karina.
After her call was closed, Karina immediately sent the money via mobile. He did not want the children of the orphanage abandoned because the land rent for their home building was expelled. Better he use his money that will somehow be used for what.

In the afternoon Karina came home after finishing her work on her morning shift. Karina gets a message from the housewife that the problem is solved. Karina breathed a sigh of relief to hear it, just take care of the ownership certificate is being taken care of Mr. Dadang the husband of the mother of the home.
Not yet he reached the apartment a man blocked his path making Karina frown at the man in the neat suit. His face was flat despite his age he was still handsome.
"Excuse me, I'm going through." Karina said but the man did not budge from where he stood closing Karina's path.
"Sorry lady, madam wants to see you." Karina frowned looking at the man.
"Mistress?"
"Let's go in!" Ask the man to point at the open car door.
"Who is your mistress?"
"The great lady of Atmajaya."
Deg
"Let's miss!" Invite the man once again to throw his daydream for a moment.
The car drove a little quietly not far from where Karina was picked up. Until they arrived at a restaurant where they met some time ago. Karina's heart isn't okay. Bryan's plea yesterday came back to his mind to maintain his relationship. Karina got out of the car hoping everything was okay.
"Let's go in!" Said the man earlier going inside followed by Karina who only chose to obey.
Tok tok tok tok
"Lake in!"
Cclek
Ambar's graceful face welcomes Karina to enter and sit on the chair she once sat in.
"You still haven't given up?" Tanya Ambar put down her tea cup elegantly.
"I'm sorry, I can't leave him." Karina sternly looked at Ambar's face calmly even though her heart did not stop pounding.
"It seems like everything I've done hasn't made you give up yet?" Ambar looked at Karina with a piercing look.
"We promise to fight for your blessing madam. And I beg you..."
"Haha... You make me laugh. You think I'll bless you one day? Haha..." Ambar's belittling laughter made Karina speechless. His hands clenched under the table with his face still trying to calm down.
"Make yourself rich, maybe I'll consider! Haha..." Ambar said with a dismissive tone.
"Am I that bad in madam's eyes? All wealth and wealth are not brought to death." Karina replied firmly.
"You are right, wealth and possessions are not brought to death, but if a living man has no money, it is like dying." Ambar's booing speech made Karina speechless. In the corner of his little heart gave all Ambar's words making him speechless unable to comment.
"Did I have to do something even more extreme to get you to give up?" Karina frowned still did not understand what Ambar was saying.
"I think making kids miserable is enough."

Ambar's voice about the child made Karina's heart beat instantly.
No way, don't tell me everything that happened in the parlour because of it? Inner Karina wondered but her mouth was locked.
"I think your money's over."
Deg
His heart beat again to hear Ambar's words.
"W-what does madam mean?" Karina asked doubtfully.
"You think, what's the reason you got fired? It's still good I asked them to give you severance pay and hope you leave my son, but it turns out you're getting a little sultry to play around." Obviously Ambar paused his words.
"So?"
"Yes, I fired you and the orphanage land was me too."
"You're using a sneaky way. I thought you were such an honorable woman that you didn't involve anyone closest to me."
"Haha... You're too naive, son. I've asked you well but you've provoked my anger. If you still don't give up, don't blame me for acting more on those adorable kids."
"W-what are you going to do?" Karina asked nervously in disbelief hearing Ambar's threat.
"Come on, I think I've given you a chance. So, don't blame me for overacting." Ambar immediately stood up from his seat but Karina immediately knelt down next to Ambar's chair pleading with him.
"Please madam, I-I'll leave her but please don't hurt them. They don't know anything." Prevent Karina from making Ambar who saw her smile..
