Alula who looked so worried slowly opened the room door. He saw a middle-aged woman lying on the bed closing her eyes. The woman's face looked pale. True as Alula thought, the woman was not just not feeling well.
"Lula." greet the woman suddenly. He woke up when he felt someone enter the room.
"Mom." Alula smiled back.
Alula immediately sat by the bed holding the hand of the woman she thought was her mother.
The woman was named Rumi, she was about sixty years old. Rumi's mother is the owner of the orphanage where Alula grew up.
"Mother's pain relapses again huh ? let's go to the hospital" Alula said without waiting for an answer from Rumi's mother.
"Mom's okay Lula. Just an ordinary pain." refused Rumi's mother.
"Lula, are you okay ?" rumi's mother asked Alula to stream the conversation.
"I'm fine Mom. You don't have to worry about me." Alula answered lying.
Alula knew what Rumi's mother was talking about. Must have seen the news about Sky's wedding. During this time Rumi's mother finds out about Alula and Sky's relationship. A rich man who works as a doctor and director of Medika Sejahtera hospital who is married to another woman. Therefore Rumi's mother was worried about Alula.
Alula let out a long sigh hearing Rumi's mother's words. Sky is not his soul mate. But maybe Tom will be his soul mate for life.
"Mom knows it must be very hard for you to face this reality. But, not because of your obsession, you have to do reckless to destroy people's households. There are a lot of people out there who are still unmarried. Hope you get a good and responsible man. Don't go after wealth."
Alula felt slapped with the advice given by Rumi's mother. Because of his obsession he had done reckless and almost destroyed the Sky household.
Rumi's mother knows Alula is obsessed with marrying a rich man so she can rebuild this orphanage like she used to. So that he can give a proper education to his brothers who live here.
There are about ten children living here. Four of them are nearing primary school age. Three are still in elementary school and three have already graduated from junior high school and are not continuing to go higher.
Since the last ten years of the orphanage owned by Rumi's mother had financial problems. Since her husband died, her business went bankrupt and her assets were confiscated by the bank. Including the building. So, now they live in a simple house that has been on contract for the next two years. During this time they only expect donations and donations. Therefore Alula worked hard and most of her income was given for the orphanage.
The day is getting more and more daytime. Alula then leaves because she has to prepare lunch for Tom. Rumi's mother still kekeuh do not want to go to the hospital even though Alula forced. Rumi's mother didn't want to trouble Alula. All this time his foster children have been working hard for the survival of his siblings in the orphanage and Rumi's mother does not want to burden Alula with the medical costs that are certainly very expensive.
"Mom, lula's right. Come on, let's go to the hospital" said Tiara who had just entered the room delivering lunch to Rumi's mother.
Rumi's mother smiled at her lips that looked dry and pale. "Actually the mother's pain is not too severe, Tiara. Maybe it's just because mom's old so long she's healing." Rumi's mother hid her cancer from everyone. Only Alula herself knew it because Alula often accompanied Rumi to the hospital.
