Love Frame For Sarmila
CHAPTER 74

Rubiah has arrived at his destination. A small home tucked around the campus Muhammadiyah Bali village road Bengkulu city. At ten in the morning he arrived there. Some kids play in front of the parlour. Rubiah entered the building.

Her name is Kasih Ibu orphanage, is an orphanage located in Bengkulu City. This orphanage treats and educates orphans and young children. The Orphanage of Mother Love meets the needs of the children she cares for ranging from food to school.

"Assalamualaikum," Bia said a greeting as a sign of his arrival.

"Waalaikumsalam," said a woman while holding a little girl.

"I'm Rubiah, can I talk to the owner of the parlor?"

"Can, Mom. I am currently in the care of the home. Is there anything I can help you with? oh yes sorry I forgot. We're talking in my study." Bu Nurmala invited Rubiah into her room.

They entered Bu Nurmala's study not far from the entrance. Bu Nurmala calls Sari to take Rara's place. The woman immediately took over Rara from the care home's mother's arms.

They sat face to face in Bu Nurmala's study. Of course the woman was curious about the figure of Bu Rubiah. What does his arrival mean? with what purpose? whether to adopt a child or maybe want to be a donor. In recent months donors have rarely been to their places.

"Can I help you, Miss Rubiah?"

"I'm here based on this record, Mom. Twenty-four years ago I lost my son. He I leave it to my brother because I have business to take care of. As soon as that business was done my son was gone. They told me to put my son in this home. Here's a record of the custody files that my brother has." Rubiah handed over the yellow map she got at Diana's house warehouse.

"oh, this is if not mistaken it was in her tenure Mutia's mother. I am the fourth year after Bu Mutia retired. If Bu Mutia's army of children will be there, ma'am. He's grown up and married." Obviously Nurmala's mother.

"Oh, yeah. Is he a boy?"

"Yes, Mom. He's a man named Danu. He's the only foster Bu Mutia. When I was just leading this orphanage Danu was already five years old. But I'm sorry if the name of the child based on this file isn't here. I think he was adopted by the time Bu Mutia took office. Our house kids weren't this many. Because the orphanage's little, not as much now."

The danu? is he the same person as Danu Diana's nurse? god, the world is very narrow. I'll be reunited with Danu. Honestly when he was around me, I felt something different.

God, if Danu were my son, I would be a donor in this home. The house that grew up my son well.

But why should Mila be my daughter-in-law. Honestly, if Danu was my son, I wouldn't approve of their marriage.

"Bu Rubiah," Bu Nurmala's voice broke her daydream.

Ms. Nurmala explained that she had contact with one of the workers who had helped in the orphanage. Moments later Bu Nurmala contacted someone still in Rubiah's company. Rubiah's only hope is that one can quickly find his biological child.

"Sorry, Rubiah's mom. It turns out that Mr. Dimas is dead. He was the one who used to be Bu Mutia's assistant." explained Bu Nurmala.

"Can I see Miss Mutia? or maybe there's a file that Bu Mutia keeps? I would love to meet my biological son. I haven't found the bright spot here in months."

Bu Nurmala looked compassionately at her guests. Which mother is sad when her child is not around her. Which mother is not sad when she loses her child. Especially if the child is missing due to someone's behavior.

Tell you what, Mom. I'm coming back in a few days. I will check the data of this child whose name is Abdi. Maybe it's on file inside based on the year he was brought here"

"In 1995 my son's mother went missing. At that time he was 3.5 years old. This is my contact number." Rubiah gave a note of his phone number.

"OK,"

"I'm saying goodbye, Mom. My hopes are great to find my son." Bu Nurmala and Rubiah shook hands. The two walked towards the exit of the home. Ms. Nurmala went back into the home.

...***...

Seeing Rubiah coming out of the parlor, the children ran inside. Rubiah's cold face frightened them. One of them will be adopted by the woman.

Ridho one of the orphanage children ran to their room. Some of them went to school during the day. There are also those who are still not in school, including Ridho. The six-year-old boy entered their dorm room. Reported that there are people who are jutek will adopt one of them.

"What is a jute, brother?" ask Lina.

"The jutek is the one who never smiles angrily." Ridho is still trying to scare his stepbrother.

"Frightened? mean mean bad huh, brother." Ridho nodded small.

"If he comes again don't want to be his son. Later you are told to keep working if your fault is hit with a wooden broom. Wanna?"

"Riddho! what the hell are you? they are afraid." Meta who happened to pass by hearing Ridho's chat with other orphanage children.

"Sir Meta, it's true that there were people who met Bu Nur. His face is not that friendly, I'm sure if one of us adopted that person would not be happy with his life."

"Where do you know it's going to be like that. Don't look outside. You're getting ready for Ridho's noon school." Meta Word.

Meta checking children in the parlors. Ten o'clock some children who are first and second grade Elementary attend afternoon school at Muhammadiyah Elementary School near the orphanage. His gaze turned to his sister who sat daydreaming in the dishwasher. Dishwasher tap water has been poured from a basin of clean water.

"Put, what are you doing?"

"Don't see what I'm doing?"

"Yes you're urinating." Meta glared at Puput who was like fighting him.

"Put, where are you going? so, this isn't washing dishes?"

"So, I wash the dishes. I don't want to, I'll have my hand broken." The puput instantly left Meta alone behind.
