Mother to My Children
Chapter 4

In the cafeteria, Syafira only ordered drinks because she had breakfast at home. Yes, fried rice plus eggs ceplok become a mainstay lately, in addition to practically also save costs, than he had to eat instant noodles that are not good if often consumed.

Syafira wants to immediately collect a lot of money in order to immediately pay off his debts. However, what has always been the question itself is, until when that much money will be collected if only relying on the small cake shop.

Syafira let out a sigh, her sighs representing her troubled heart.

"Sin's eating, nobody wants to call this, you're eating already like you know no," said Syafira who saw Shinta eat in a hurry, even the food that was in his mouth he had not swallowed, he had eaten more food.

Shinta did not heed Syafira's words. He continued to eat voraciously, which made Syafira shake her head while stirring her drink with a straw.

"Oh my God, you eat like hungry people know no, like you haven't eaten in a month" said Mia who just arrived and joined them.

"Know the child, I see it even satiety itself," continued Syafira.

"Diet ngapa mbul, diet, let's replace it in our kayak. Isn't it Fir?"

"Yups really, really" Syafira said.

"Does it have to be a diet anyway? If you have to torture yourself, just be cool and ugly, which is important to live," said Shinta with a mouth full of food.

"Son child, there really is no motto that benefits in life, what is important to live so fat and ugly. Yes, if so, just stay at home, eat sleep, eat sleep, the important thing is to live and breathe" said Mia.

"Yes, I'm on a diet, but now let me enjoy this delicious meal" said shinta casually.

"Udah, no! It's still morning, why are you guys so noisy, I want to go to class first, sainan Shin dishes, don't you eat too! Pity his canteen mother if you take the plate too!" syafira said, he stood up and took his bag and books.

"Wait for the fir, I'm together!" scream Mia.

"Ntar I'm coming!" exclaimed Shinta who still did not want to leave food in front of her.

Syafira and Mia walked towards their class.

"Eh fir, have you found a way to pay your father's debt to the old moneylender?" tanya Mia and Syafira just shook her head.

"Even the cost of Adel's treatment is also piling up, I owe a lot to your sister Mi," Syafira said.

"Here you are, it's nothing to think about. Em, don't you like my brother? Why not take the offer, Fir? Let brother help you so you don't need to be confused and be the wife of the four old moneylenders,"

Sayfira was silent, she did not know what to answer, Rendra's doctor was good, very good, but of course his kindness had a certain purpose, which was to take the heart of the girl who was always firm and cheerful.

"Yes, no need to answer Fir, I know the answer, because my parents right? They are really cool and not fun, look at people just from the material," said Mia guessing. He was born from a family, the outline of his family works as a doctor. However, he never hesitated to befriend and befriend Syafira. Likewise with Shinta, even though he was the son of a businessman, he never distinguished his status with Syafira. Syafira and Mia have been best friends since High School, while Shinta knows Syafira and Mia after college.

Syafira just smiled in response to Mia's words. It's true, there's no good reason to reject a handsome, kind, mature, smart, rich Doctor Rendra. Many women approached him.

In the small heart of Syafira, he actually has more feelings for the young doctor. However, Syafira always tried to reject his feelings, fearing that he could not stem his feelings towards the doctor Rendra.

Love is not the top priority of syafira at this time, he just wants to immediately pay off his debts without inconveniencing others, despite the dislike of doctor Rendra's parents towards him.

A few days later...

The sound of alarm in Syafira's room, making the woman who is more often simple appearance blink her eyes. He reached for the clock on the nightstand that continued to disturb his ears. Turn it off and then put it back in place.

Syafira squirms, still trying to collect his life in order to return to face the world that has lately been unfriendly to him, by remaining bedridden. Slowly, his life that somehow last night breezed to where collected back. Syafira wakes up and shakes her hair, until her neck is clearly visible.

Syafira sighed slowly before she went to the bathroom to fetch water and carry out her duties as a Muslim.

"Today there is no schedule for college, I better go to Adel's hospital, go to my father's grave for a while, then come back to the store," murmured Syafira who is now enjoying her breakfast alone.

If the house was always crowded with commotion and drama that Adel always created in the morning, now it feels lonely and quiet.

For a moment Syafira daydreamed, imagining the good times first with her father and sister. It was clear in his eyes that a clear liquid was ready to flow down his cheeks. However, Syafira immediately wiped it off. He did not want to stay in sorrow. At least, he still had hope towards his sister even though those expectations were few.

After breakfast, Syafira went back to her room to pick up her bag and motorcycle keys.

"Hi william, is it healed now? Ready to take me anywhere else, right? Don't squander anymore, huh? It's hard if there's no you" Syafira told her matic scooter, which she named william.

About thirty minutes later, Syafira arrived at the hospital. He parked his bike and headed straight to his sister's room in the care.

" Deck, brother is coming," Syafira greeted Adel, who was lying helplessly, as she placed her bag on the nightstand. He also replaced the flowers he brought a few days ago with new and fresher ones.

Syafira continued to invite Adel to talk, without realizing there was a man who had been watching him from the doorway. The man continued to look at Syafira while continuing to smile.

"Doc, doctor!" call the nurse who is also standing next to the man.

Hearing the nurse's voice, Syafira immediately turned to the door.

"Doctor Rendra?" syafira. Doctor Rendra smiled and walked in.

"Tumben clock as soon as you come here Fir," said doctor Rendra while checking Adelia's condition.

"Yes doc, today there is no lecture, so I came here" replied Syafira.

"But later I'm busy doc, have to go to the store. Poor Rani if she herself continues," continued Syafira, before the doctor Rendra respond to his words.

After having a little chat with Syafira about the condition of Adel, Rendra's doctor also said goodbye. Syafira stared at the back of doctor Rendra without blinking.

"If only.." murmured Syafira softly.

Syafira returned to ride his motorcycle, this time the goal is the grave of the late father.

After arriving at the tomb, he immediately sowed flowers and prayed for his father solemnly.

Meanwhile, at the same burial site, it appears Bara and also her two twins who were visiting Olivia's tomb.

Bara who wears black glasses appears to be rubbing a headstone that reads the name of his late wife. While Nathandan Nala sow flowers on the tomb of their mother while each carrying a basket containing roses.

"Hallo mommy, assalamualaikum.. Nala and Athan come again, momy miss us not the same? We miss mommy. The day after tomorrow, Nala and Athan re-tah loh, so daddy ngajak jungung mommy now," said Nala while sowing flowers. Nathan was silent. Nathan is more talkative and cold than Nala.

"Darling, look at the twins. They grew up well, no. Nathan looks like me, and Nala looks a lot like you. They've started to protest it's the same me, sometimes I'm confused to answer the magic question from them. The day after they will have their 5th birthday, which means that you have left me for five years. A lot has changed, including you who are present only in my dreams," Bara said in his heart.

Beberaa a moment later...

" Dear, you go to the car first with Om Jon" Bara told his two children.

" Okay daddy!" exclamation Nala.

" Come on Athan!" Nala pulls Nathan.

" A minute, I put this down first"Natahn put down the little jar where the flower he was holding had been.

" Come opa, let's get to the car!" take Nala to the middle-aged man who works as Bara's personal assistant.

" Good little young lady" said Joni.

" Surge!" yelled Nathan who had walked first.

Suddenly a beautiful sight before his eyes, made Nathan stop his steps. He was stunned to see Syafira praying for his father. I don't know what was going on in the little boy's mind when he saw Syafira.

"Why stop Athan?" ask Nala.

"Look!" Nathan moved his eyes towards Syafira.

"Beautiful!" exclamation Nala.

"Does that fit Athan?" continued.

"Hemm, you know what you have to do right?"

Nala nodded. Then he approached Syafira.

"Mommy!" exclamation Nala. Syafira did not budge, he did not think the call was addressed to him.

Nala looked at Nathan and was only glazed over by his twin brother.

"Little young master, what is this?" ask Joni.

"Opa jon just shut up, this is our mission" Nathan replied.

"But sir,,"

"Sst opan Jon wants to see dady get married right?"

"Eh...?" Joni lost his words, he did not know what the little boy meant.

"Mommy!" Nala called back to Syafira.

Shafira turned her head, she pointed at her own face to ascertain whether she heard wrong or not.

Nala nodded her mantab while smiling.

"Mommy!!" call again.

"Eh?" Syafira is still doubtful if in the one called mommy, he darted around looking for another female figure that might be meant by Nala. But he did not find any other women there, he only saw a middle-aged man with a small boy who stood not far from his place and Nala. And from a distance, he saw the figure of a man who was crouched beside his wife's grave.
