The car stopped at a town square in Bengkulu. The location adjacent to the beach site of the priest and Fort Marlborough became the center of the crowd at night. Some children ran into the market area that night.
Mila was holding two-year-old Rara. The little girl looked cheerfully at the flickering lights. Like a mother, Mila continues to chat with Rara. Danu saw the familiarity of Mila and Rara felt very relieved.
He used to be close to a girl, where she was a college friend. The figure of the girl who is gentle and friendly, that's the point Danu accepts. But it turns out that when Danu expressed her seriousness, the girl wanted Danu away from the parlour. Instead, ask that it is better to live with the house given by his parents. Danu of course refused. How could he possibly separate himself from the orphanage family. The family that raised him. Danu chose to let go of the girl, letting her lover marry another man.
Now in Mila there is like her old girl. But that's not what Danu was looking for, she accepted Mila as she was. No matter what the girl's family background is. Why look at the background, he also does not know what his family background is like. It could be that she's more pathetic than Mila.
"Rara wants what?" asked Mila while holding the little girl.
"Okat, Ra au okat, (brown, Rara wants brown)" Rara's hand pointed at the cart with a brown ice cream.
"Rara don't eat chocolate. Two teeth are left." Danu.
"Cama pelti agu, ulung akak ua. Ulung akak ua igal deya. enek ua igi ua.
(Just like an old parrot song. Old parrot lives in the window. Grandma is old. her teeth are two)
"Rara wants to be a granny?" Danu keeps teasing Rara.
"Ak au, Ra au Adi ices ojen (unwanted, Rara wants to be princess Frozen).
"This plane is a machine. How old is he?" ask Mila.
"Two years 3 months. But he has a friend who talks smoother than Rara. If my colleague says, Rara is including slow progress. Maybe because there's no special adult child care home."
"But you're one of the most grown-ups there, Danu. Why don't you start communicating with Rara. Moreover, you are a nurse, you should understand dong."
"That's the problem, I still honor in two workplaces. In Muhammadiyah health clinic same hospital M. Jonah. It can also sometimes be a holiday for the control of Seruni grandmother. I'm under contract for a year to take care of Grandma Seruni. But now Seruni's grandmother is no more. So I started to be active again in the hospital."
"So crowded your activities, Danu. When rest? it's worth it when you go to grandma's house I see you as dizzy. You are too busy with activities. Make what?"
"Make my chemotherapy cost, Mila." Inner Danu.
The stages of speaking the Little One is one process that parents need to pay attention to. As information for adults around him, each child has different developmental progress including in terms of speech and not a few children who experience speech delays or commonly called speech delays.
SPEECH DELAY is one of the normal communication disorders that occur in the Little One in its infancy. But if this is allowed, speech delay can be a serious disorder that affects the intelligence and behavior of the Little One in the future.
"Is Rara the same as me if you're busy. At home, many friends. Yes, I know that in the parlour too rame. But, the name of the children has its own busyness. They hang out with friends. So it is very necessary for adults to deal with the problem of delay Rara." suggested Mila.
"Don't you bother, Mila? aren't you busy selling until noon."
"I have a limit on sales until 10. After this hour, no one will be looking for breakfast. Eva helped me too. While snacking Rara. Lala likes children too. So clop right?"
Mila and Danu walked in tandem. Still carrying Rara who according to Danu has not been running smoothly. The weight of Rara's thick body became his obstacle. Rara loves sweet food.
"Why haven't you been married yet?" ask Mila.
Danu stopped his steps. He nodded at Mila's question. It only lasted for a moment, the man walked back to monitor the children of the parlour walking in front of him.
"Do you want to know what you want to know?" Danu asked back.
"You know, not very." replied Mila relaxed.
"Yes, then, you want to take a ride not all I love the answer to the question."
Mila rounded her eyes. How dare he ride the bianglala. The one with his head suddenly dizzy later. He did not like heights. Mila prefers riding a merry-go-round rather than riding a reanglala.
"Kids how? We can't take Rara on the reanglala. She'll be scared." elak Mila.
"Tabot's time has gone up the ring. And he likes it." Danu clasped Mila's hand. Instantly his heart was racing. The man stood closer to himself. "You need not be afraid. There I am. And I will guide you against this fear."
The children who participated with Danu amounted to 8 people including Rara. The place for the bianglala they occupy. Mila finally got on the ring with Danu and Rara.
Mila had to give up. Praying to remove her fear. Unlike Danu who is very carefree when given the opportunity to sit face to face with a girl pujaan.
Arriving above Mila asked to open her eyes. Slowly he opened his eyes. From above, there is a light lamp. The bright light of the moon is fully rounded. The vast expanse of sea is visible from above. The flickering lights of the lighthouse also look beautiful.
"God's glory, it's beautiful." praise Mila in amazement.
Danu also saw the sight. Danu held Mila's hand tightly. Mila did not realize it was still engrossed in what she saw.
Gludug .... Gludugs....
The bianglala came back to life and turned around. Danu immediately let go of her hand. Afraid Mila realized her attitude. The net turned towards Rara who was already asleep. Danu glanced at his dress almost at nine. Rara usually at eight at night has gone to sleep.
After circling in the barn, they went home. Some kids whine still want to play. But Danu reminds me that Rara is asleep. It's not good for a little kid to sleep too much.
"Mila, I'm gonna take the kids home first. After that, just take you home. It's okay, right?" Mila nodded. Some of the children were asleep in the car.
Poor those kids. Living in a home without the love of her parents. I should be grateful to have a loving family. I still have a mother, even if I am not a mother. Still have a father and sisters. Still surrounded by people who love me.
God forgive me for complaining to you so often.
The car has arrived at the orphanage. Panti which is still one building with the University of Muhammadiyah Bengkulu. Danu got down and opened the car door. Children wake up when the car stops. One by one the children went into the home. Just Danu, Mila and Rara.
"There is Sarmila" said Bu Nurmala.
"Yes, Mom." Mila greeted Bu Nurmala as the owner of the home.
"Here, Rara let the mother bring her to the room. He's still one room with me. Danu, you just take Mila to stay here. It's night, maybe the guy in Mila's house is asleep."
"I'll just go home, Mom. They're afraid they're waiting at home."
"Oh yeah, Mila, when did your sister marry him?" ask Bu Nurmala.
"Oh, Sarah got married early in January, ma'am. New year." replied Mila.
"Well, cool, the new year can be a husband. Just try Danu who got married. His age is ..."
"Mom, it's night. Poor Milanya. I'm talking to you."
After leaving Nurmala. Mila and Danu got into the car. Mila chose silence without starting the conversation. Danu helped Mila put the seat belt on the car. Danu's distinctive body aroma keeps Mila washed away.
While still in one look, Danu landed a kiss on Mila's forehead.
"I know Mila, my attitude just got sassy. I'm sorry."
"Andu, I ..."
"I'm sorry, Mila. I love you, it's been a long time, since I was Junior High. And until now has not faded. And I want you to be my wife. I don't need to date, I just find a wife who accepts me for who I am. Because I'm not a rich man like Ammar."
Mila was silent at Danu's explanation. He was confused as to what to answer. It still took some time to calm down after Ammar and Vika's troubles. Danu's tightly grasped hands suddenly stretched out. Danu realized Mila would not be the same to accept herself. Moreover, he is sick at the moment. Danu feels like she will be a burden to Mila.
