@@@

After breakfast, Yulia decided to go back to her mother's house. And hope someday to meet again with Bu Darsih.

With a heavy heart and also many messages and messages, and sincere prayers from Bu Darsih release Yulia. Among them if he remarried, Bu Darsih prayed that Yulia would get a man who is responsible and dear to Yulia.

Yulia hugged Bu Darsih with tears. A meeting that is so short but will imprint in his heart.

"Already, already! You will have bad luck. Hot Yul, hurry up and go. Mom is fine here. From before you were last night, I was alone. So don't worry about mom." Ms. Darsih let go of their embrace and patted Yulia's shoulder slowly.

After traveling for thirty minutes, Yulia finally arrived at her mother's house. He saw the woman who had given birth was arranging the rest of the vegetables on the table. Sometimes there are neighbors who need and buy on Yulia's mother.

Dragging Yulia's suitcase quickly towards her mother.

"Momuuu!" Yulia Seru. He left his suitcase at the end of the terrace step, approached his mother and immediately knelt, hugging the mother's feet.

"Yulia, are you home, son?" looking at his son's suitcase. The feeling of the mother was not care, seeing the suitcase. Is Yulia...

"Sorry Yulia, mother! Yulia's wrong. Yulia never heard the word mother!" It was obvious what Yulia's mother thought. She believes her son has a problem with his husband.

Mother stroked the top of her son's head wrapped in black instant hijab. Then tell him to stand up.

After standing Yulia hugged her mother's neck. Her crying broke again.

"It's Yul, there's no point in regretting. I've forgiven you, how can I never forgive you, hmmm!"

"Let's go in, it's not good to see the neighbors. " Pinta mother while holding her son's hand. Yulia took the suitcase and brought it in. All was not lost from the sight of the mother.

"Where are you going, mother?" Yulia asked as her mother went straight behind.

"Make a drink for you, Yul. Wanna?" Yulia approached her mother and pulled her hand to sit down.

"Mother, sit down first. We had a conversation, Yulia was very upset with mom."

Yulia's mother relented. He sat next to his daughter on a sofa that looked a bit worn out in the living room. After a long time both of them were silent with Yulia who was sluggish on the shoulders of the mother who looked thinner than the last they met.

" Now, Julia has been divorced in Revelation, Mother! Wahyu and his mother accuse Yulia of being barren. Though according to doctor Yulia no fertility problems, our marriage has only lasted 3 years. Wahyu always avoided if Yulia invited the doctor to check. Her mother was even more furious, when Yulia said that Wahyu's mas should go see a doctor..."

"Sttt!" reprimand the mother.

"That's it. I don't want to hear more about your ex-husband. Suppose your soul mate is enough to get there." Mom looks so upset at Revelation. As a mother, of course she does not want the child she has cared for lovingly from the womb, treated arbitrarily by someone she has only known for a few years. Even if it was by her husband.

"You rest first Yul, we'll talk again. Or do you want to eat? You are a spoiled child, still like to be bribed with mother. Just eat first!" broke up his mother who went straight to the kitchen, to get her son's food.

"Mom, I was passing by the supermarket at the end of the road, I'm going to bed there. Who knows if I'm welcome. Yulia has to find a job, so she can earn. And also to distract me, ma'am!" mom nodded. Steam the rice on the plate for Yulia.

"Aaaaac!! A mouthful of rice entered Yulia's mouth. As Yulia chewed, she picked up the spoon. Fill it with rice and feed it to his mother.

"Mom should also eat a lot, so that the mother remains healthy. Yulia did not know to whom else Yulia returned and complained if what happened to mother!" They smile. The rice and side dishes of a full plate have turned into the stomachs of the mother and child.

"Mom support your decision, son! You have to move on. you have to be happy. I always pray for that." Yulia laughing.

"Aamiinu. But by the way, I know the term move on everything." mom pouted.

The next morning, Yulia rushed on foot to the supermarket she saw yesterday putting up writing in need of employees. Saying Bismillah, he left optimistically.

Arriving there the supermarket looks already quite crowded from the outside. There are some motorbikes parked neatly. As he entered Yulia was in a daze, confused at who he would convey his intentions. Until then there was one in uniform employees, passing in front of him.

"Eh, mom! Excuse me. Numpang. My name is Yulia. I just saw up ahead, if here is in need of a new employee, huh?" The employee girl stopped and looked at Yulia.

"Bak Yulia wants to work here?" he asked back. Yulia nodded.

"Mom! Here..." Yulia approached.

"Bak Yulia, huh? Want to work here?" Yulia nodded.

"Can today work?" ask again. Yulia's eyes sparkled.

"You, will! I-yes I want to mbak!" Yulia answered excitedly.

"Yes already. Then Risma's father will tell you what Yulia must do."

"Oiya, my name is Fani!" The cashier's guard shook Yulia's hand.

"Yulia, Mbak Fani!"

Queuing snaking, Risma immediately invited Yulia to do something elsewhere.

"Well, this is Yulia's job! Stacking this noodle on the shelf yes, mbak. Arrange neatly according to his brand." Yulia nodded. He deftly did what was instructed to him.

In addition to composing noodles, he also did other work with great enthusiasm, until no time of rest arrived.

"Sir Yulia, let's have lunch, and the work will be connected again!" bring Risma.

"Yes, it's Risma!" Yulia approached.

"Well, acquaintance first. This one's called Lasmi, and this is Yeni. We're one team here, we have to be compact, right?"

"Oiya mbak, greetings know all. I'm Yulia, just working today." said Yulia later.

They eat and talk, exchange phone numbers and joke.

"Oiya, where is the prayer?" ask Yulia after finishing her meal.

"There, above. On the doorstep was the writing." said Lasmi. Risma nodded.

"There are only two rooms. The other one is the room of the owner of this supermarket." continued Yeni.

"Are you going up?"tanya Yulia circulated a glance at her three new friends.

"I'm having my period." Lasmi said.

"He'eh, I am!" this time it was Yeni who spoke.

"Come, Yulia! I'm going up too!" Risma stood up, and was followed by Yulia. As Yulia and Risma climb the stairs, there is a debate between Lasmi and Yeni.

"Why the hell, you're following along saying your period." Lasmias.

"Yes, I'm a girl. Is it wrong to say I'm having a period?" Yenee.

"Yes, it's wrong if you don't menstruate but say menstruation. Iku jenenge rapes." spray Lasmi on Yeni. Sounds like Yeni complaining. Yulia shook her head with the behavior of both.

After the prayer, Yulia recited for a while. Risma after the prayer whispered in Yulia's ear.

"I'm going down first, huh?" Yulia just nodded. Shortly after Risma's departure, the room was silent. But before long, a child's voice was heard.

Yulia has completed her dhikr. The room was blocked between the left and right. Perhaps the intent of the self-service owner was between a separate male and female room.

Yulia saw the hape inside her Sling bag. The rest is less than 15 minutes. Not wasting any more time, Yulia opened the little Mushaf she always carried with her. He read with the Mushaf.

"Aunty is teaching?" asked a child who had arrived near Yulia.
