Laura has been a widow for a week. He enjoys his days like there is no burden because Dirga his encouragement when he is tired of working. Today is Sunday Laura works to wash the clothes of citizens who want to wear her services. Laura first had to take dirty clothes in the house of the residents, Laura did say everything honestly if she had divorced her husband because she was always tortured by her ex-husband, Laura said everything honestly if she was divorced from her husband, how many bruises on Laura's body have not disappeared because the day before Laura left her home together with Zico, her ex-husband again tortured her for unreasonable reasons. Residents who sympathize with Laura use the services of Laura to wash their clothes, this is all they do so that Dirga and Laura can eat even though the money generated is not much.
"Do you have no activities?" laura asked the 17-year-old neighbor. Already 3 days Intan always keep Dirga while Laura is washing or ironing. Intan is very fond of small children, she is an only child often takes care of a neighbor who according to Intan is very adorable like Dirga.
"No Brother. I'm here with Dirga. Brother work I can take care of Dirga," Intan said sincerely making Laura smile with Intan's kindness to him.
"alright. Brother work first if Dirga is fussy get the breast milk that has been prepared in the bottle in the refrigerator. Do you understand Intan?" laura looked at Intan.
The teenage girl nodded in understanding because she already understood that Dirga felt thirsty Intan immediately warmed Dirga's milk. "Yes Kak, Intan is very understanding," Intan exclaimed with a smile to make Laura breathe a sigh of relief.
Before going to take the clothes, Laura kissed the cheek of her son who was still asleep after he bathed. "Dirga don't fuss with Intan! Mother of work first, dear," said Laura with a warm smile to her current encouragement.
"Sister goes first Intan," said Laura to Intan who now carries Dirga.
"Yes, sister, spirit!" intan said cheerfully.
Laura smiled as she got some spirit from Intan. "Assalamualaikum," said Laura to Intan.
"Wa'laikumussalam."
Laura walked from the house to the house of the other residents. Laura deliberately did all her work in her own home so that she could take care of Dirga and not too long to leave Dirga together with Intan. The house that Laura came a long way if she had to walk and Laura could not afford to buy a motorcycle because she was afraid her savings would run out and she had no savings for Dirga's future needs.
The weather today was very hot making Laura sweat popping on her forehead even so Laura would not despair because of all this she did for Dirga. So that Dirga fulfilled all his needs. Zico did not give monthly money to Dirga, the man did not want to spend a dime for his ex-wife and child. Making Laura must try alone to support her child without the presence of a husband who should be there for her. Laura began to take dirty clothes owned by residents when she reached the house of residents who wanted to use her services as a laundry worker. There are 5 houses that this time use his services and their clothes are quite a lot so the money he collected today is quite a lot, he can also buy lunch for himself and also Intan who is looking after his son at this time.
Almost an hour Laura went to pick up the clothes of the citizens who were wearing her services. The house of residents close to him had washed his clothes yesterday until Laura just ironed, she said, there are also those who do not want to use Laura's services because they think they can still wash it themselves and do not want to charge Laura. Sometimes they provide Dirga basic needs such as diapers, clothes and so on even for the citizens who are wealthy and Laura accept it even though it is not pleasant for the citizens who are very good to him and his children.
"Dirga's no fuss, Intan?" laura asked when she got home.
"Just cry from thirst. My sister looks tired. Intan get you a drink, yes" said intan sincerely.
"No need Intan. Brother wash it immediately later Brother take his own drink. Brother please take care of Dirga in a moment. I want to do this laundry" Laura said. Intan nodded quickly, according to Intan, Laura already he considered as his own biological sister because Laura was very good to him.
"Yes Brother. I'm happy to take care of Dirga Kok" Intan said with a smile.
"Silver wash first yes," said Laura who was embraced by Intan.

That night, while Laura was playing with Dirga, her phone rang and Laura saw who called her making Laura's chest tight. With doubt Laura painted a phone call from her mother whom she had longed for
"Hello Ma!" greet Laura with a hoarse.
"Hello Honey. You're okay, right? Why didn't you call Mama? Why don't you tell me that you and Zico are overseas when Mama and Papa miss Dirga" said Mama Laura, who was across the phone named Ratna.
Laura shed tears. It felt like he was telling the truth to both parents but Laura did not want to make both parents disappointed. "Laura's fine, Ma. Sorry Ma, Laura was busy vacationing with Zico and Dirga so Laura forgot to tell Mama. How do you know Laura and Zico are overseas?" laura said by holding back her sobs because she had lied to her parents.
"Anne said it. Fortunately, my mom and dad have not yet left for your home. Thank goodness you guys are okay. Mama's feeling bad since this week, Mama thought you or Dirga was sick. After returning from abroad play to Mama's house, dear," said Ratna with sadness.
"Yes Ma. Laura will say with Zico. If Zico is not busy we will go there," said Laura again lying because it is impossible for Laura to go to her parents' house at this time. Laura was not ready to see the disappointment on the faces of her parents.
"Yes, my mom hung up the phone. Papa is bathing Mama wants to prepare papa clothes first," said Ratna softly.
"Yes Ma. Stay healthy, Ma" said Laura with tears.
"Yes, Honey. Assalamualaikum," said Ratna hung up after getting a reply from Laura.
"Wa'alaikumussalam."
Laura smothered her mouth to hold back the sobs that were about to come out. His heart ached for lying to his parents.
"I'm sorry Laura, Ma. Laura is not strong enough to live with Zico. Once again forgive Laura for lying to mom and dad. Hiks..hiks.," said Laura sobbing.
Dirga looked towards the mother. Laura tried to smile in front of her son who did not understand anything. "Dirga pemperangan Mommy. We'll face it together, son!" laura said with a soft look.
