On Sunday morning, Anindya whined to go to Halimah's house. Elfira who is still busy in the kitchen was overwhelmed by the attitude of her son who lately was difficult to control when he wanted something.
"Anin's going to Grandma's, Bun. Come on, we're going to Grandma's house now." Whine Anindya while pulling Elfira's clothes.
"Yes, patient darling. Mother is still cooking this, later in the afternoon we go to grandma's house." Persuade Elfira.
But, instead of according, Anindya just getting whining.
"Don't want mom, Anin wants her now."
Elfira took a deep breath and then exhaled it violently.
"Yes, mother take Anin to grandma's house. But after that mother went home yes, because mother still have to cook again." Elfira hoped her son would understand.
"OK." exclaimed Anin with excitement. The four-year-old boy was straight up. No more whining like before.
Elfira could only shake her head at Anin's behavior which could sometimes test her patience. However, Elfira never scolded Anin. As much as possible Elfira still spoke soft words even though her heart was angry or upset. The most powerful way to get rid of anger in his heart is to take a deep breath and then take it out slowly.

"I'm sorry Mom, Fira so ngerepotin mom early in the morning" said Elfira was not happy.
"Ngerepotin what is Fir. Don't hesitate so ah, like anyone."
"Hehe, because Fira often nitipin Anin same mother. So disinclined Fira Bu." reply Elfira chuckled.
"Godly, you are, wear everything. I'm actually happy to have Anin here, oh yes, listen he said you open a catering business at home."
"Yes, Ma'am, thank God. It's good to add."
"Alhamdulillah if so, may your business smoothly."
"Amen. If so Fira went home first, Mom, later in the afternoon Fira came here again and picked up Anin." pamitnya because he still had to cook for the catering.
After saying goodbye, Elfira immediately returned to her home, while Halimah immediately entered following Anin who had already entered her house.
Arriving at home, Elfira resumed her work that had been delayed. With help from Asih, Elfira can finish her cooking before 12 noon.
Cuisine that has been cooked, put into the bushel and then arranged in such a way. His customers are mostly his neighbors who happen to not have time to cook because they have to work.
"Finally finished also yes bi" Elfira told Asih.
"Yes ma'am, this will be the mother who delivered all her orders herself."
"Yes, bi. As usual." he replied casually as if there was no fatigue.
Already this week Elfira opened a catering business, and delivered it directly once all the dishes were cooked. Elfira has not been able to pay additional workers, because her income is only enough to meet the needs of her daily life with Anin and pay Asih. Fortunately, his customers were only around his house, so it was not difficult if he had to deliver it alone.
...****************...
"This is the catering ma'am" Elfira said as she handed over a four-stacking bushel to her last customer.
"Thank you Fir, your cooking is delicious. My husband and children love your cooking." praise Saras.
"Alhamdulillah if everyone likes it Mom. Please help me promote, Mom, who knows if there are relatives or friends who want to cater with me."
"It looks like Fir, I'll help you promote. But there's no bonus for me." Saras joked that they both chuckled.
"Can be arranged Mom, if that's what I say Mom. Assalamualaikum."
By riding his motorcycle, Elfira went home to beberes and picked Anin up at Halimah's house.
...****************...
After delivering the order and completing his homework, Elfira immediately came to Halimah's house. He was afraid that he would eventually pick up Anin and would even trouble Halimah.
However, when Elfira arrived at Halimah's house it turned out there was Erlangga who was playing with Anindya on the terrace of the neighboring house. Anin seemed happy to play with Erlangga, the boy continued to laugh as Erlangga chased after him.
His heart was touched by the sight, not expecting that an Erlangga could be so close to children. Elfira thought, the figure of Erlangga is a man who has a cold nature and does not like children. But it turned out that his thinking was wrong, he had misjudged Erlangga.
"Well, Fir. Why'd you bengong there, let's get in here." Shouted Halimah when she saw Elfira standing in front of the fence of her house. Spontaneous Erlangga and Anin turned towards Elfira.
"Mother, here." Call Anindya while shouting.
Elfira's daydream is awakened by the sound of the cries of Halimah and Anin, she became ashamed of herself because she was discovered to be daydreaming. With a leisurely walk, Elfira also entered the courtyard of the Halimah house which is more than the area of the Elfira home page.
"You did stand outside" asked Halimah after Elfira joined them.
"No Mom, Elfira just look at Anin playing while laughing like that" said Elfira while remembering the expression of her son earlier.
"I didn't expect Erlangga to be like that with children" he continued.
"Pfft. You think Erlangga's a stiff guy huh."
"Yes Mom, sorry. You see from the expression of his face like that." replied Elfira was not happy.
"Against others, Erlangga will be stiff and cold but different if it is faced with children. His father's soul went straight out, hihihi."
"Erlangga is unmarried, ma'am."
"Yes not yet, the virgin weathered him mah. Her mother was frustrated to see Erlangga who did not want to marry until she was 30 years old now" said Halimah.
"I just sometimes like to be surprised to see the child, whether the woman like what she wants to be made a wife."
"Hayo, again speak me yes." chirped Erlangga who had suddenly stood beside Elfira, making the young woman surprised.
"Yes, we're talking about you not getting married right now." Halimah was upset with her nephew.
While the person who was being talked about only responded casually, he only laughed while occasionally teasing Anin who was enjoying the snacks that Halimah had provided.
Once again Elfira noticed the interaction between Erlangga and Anindya. The daughter looked very comfortable, as if they had known each other for a long time. Whereas all this time, Anindya was a difficult child to be close to people she just knew.
"Ekhem, the whole thing concerned about Erlangga. Falling in love, hmm." Temptation Halimah while raising her eyebrows and making Elfira blushed because it was found to be watching Erlangga.
"What the hell Mom, who's in love. This mother is nothing." said Elfira while holding in shame.
Erlangga smiled looking at the blushing Elfira. In her eyes, such an Elfira expression looked extremely beautiful, making her heart even more palpitating and impatiently wanting to have it immediately.
But Erlangga realized, Elfira is not a single woman that he can have completely. This woman who is very in his tribe is the wife of a man who turns out to be his employee who works in his company.
I don't know when he should harbor these feelings, but for sure he will always love Elfira in silence and pay attention to her from afar. For now, that alone was enough for Erlangga.
