Love For Love
Pick up

"What does mother mean? Did my father come to pick me up here?'' tanya Love smiled widely.

"We talk inside" the mother replied later.

The three of them finally entered the 2-story building where the place was inhabited by more than 100 children in it. Fatimah's mother took them into her office.

Chequek!

The door of the room was opened, and the three of them entered it later.

"Please sit down" asked Madam Fatimah and immediately followed by Arka and Love. The two also sit side by side now and so does Madam Fatimah.

"So, a few days ago, your father actually came here. He's looking for you, Love," Mrs Fatimah said.

"Mother seriously? You came here to look for me? God, why doesn't the time fit like this? Why did you come here when I was no longer here?'' Love rubbed his face rough.

"If there's a number you can call, maybe you've contacted you at that time. But since you don't have a cell phone, mom finds it hard to contact you, baby."

"Did you say where he lives? Let me be the same Mas Arka can come to my father's house.''

"Sadly he did not say where his home address was. Your father said that he would look for you in the city."

"Oh my God, what should I do now?''

Arka can only rub the back of Love trying to calm down. He also looked at the girl's face.

"You don't have to worry, Love. Your father could have been found. Did you forget that we hired a detective to find your father?" added Arka later.

"But, Mas Arka. How about-" Love doesn't carry on.

"Hey ... Believe me, your father must be fine. After we get back to the city, Mas will meet the detective that Mas hired. So, you calm down huh.''

Love nodded her head while rubbing her face rough.

"Yes, Love. What Nak Arka said was right. Your father must be fine, I saw yesterday he's healthy and fine." Fatimah's mother also tried to calm down.

Love again just nodded her head. He shouldn't have left the parlor. He should have been patient for a little while longer until the father actually came to pick him up there. If he had done so, he might have met his father.

"Better now you rest first. You two must be tired after a long journey," Fatimah's mother asked later.

"Good, Mom. Excuse me first, I'll bring Mas Arka around.''

Fatimah's mother nodded her head, smilingly looking at the face of Love and also Arka alternately. Both of them came out of the room later. Love takes Arka around the orphanage. He also showed the room he had occupied when he was still living in the orphanage.

"This is my room, Mas, '' said Cinta into the room where several bunk beds are in it.

"O yeah? You sleep here every day?"

Arka looked around the room. The room does look empty, because the residents are doing activities outside. He could not imagine how desperate it would be to share such a small room with a few people.

Again he felt sorry. She expressed gratitude because she was born from both parents. Unlike those less fortunate who had to live in an orphanage even some of them did not know who their parents were.

"Mas Arka must be tired. How about we go to the roof?"

"To the roof?"

"Yes, from the roof we can see a very beautiful view. All of you I also want to collect Mas's promise which he said will teach me how to use this phone," replied Love grabbed the phone he kept in his pants pocket.

"O yes, until I forget. Okay, I'm gonna teach you how to use that phone right now."

The two of them walked out of the room to the roof.

* * *

After taking a break and also teaching Love how to operate her advanced cell phone, now comes the time for the two of them to return to the big city. They had to do it because Arka had to enter the office tomorrow.

With a heavy heart, Cinta must again part with Fatimah's mother and her other brothers. They also say goodbye full of haru. Love seemed to embrace the body of Fatimah's mother tightly, feeling her real weight.

"You are well in the city yes, I pray that you soon meet your father," the mother's message rubbed the back of tender loving affection.

"Amin Ma'am, I hope. Yes, I have a cell phone now. Mas Arka who bought it, if someday father come back here again, mother immediately call me at this number yes, Pinta Cinta, love, he began to break down the embrace and handed her a piece of paper with his mobile number.

"Good, baby. I will definitely contact you soon if your father comes back here again.''

Mother turned her gaze to Arka, she grabbed her wrist and rubbed the back of her hand gently and affectionately.

"Mother is really grateful because Nak Arka has been willing to help Love. Mother's message, please take good care of Love. She is a very good girl, please kindly with you, take care of this beautiful mother's daughter, Fatimah's mother's message full of hope.

"Yes, Mom. I will take good care of Love. I already consider her like my own sister, mother need not worry. I will remember mother's message," replied Arka full of confidence.

"You guys be careful he walks. Don't forget to come here often, I'll miss you, baby."

"Yes ma'am, we're leaving first."

Love and Arka get in the car. All the children of the orphanage seemed to usher in the departure of their brothers with feelings of haru and also the real weight. However, deep down in their hearts, they feel happy because Love can meet people as good as Arka.

Slowly, the car started to slow down. Until finally darting the streets leaving the place. All the children who were there waved their hands while saying goodbye.

"Good way brother Love. Be careful on the road. Don't forget to visit us here again."

SERIATE
