“Aaaa... mother rere, sakiitttt..” Tania whines when she finds her leg injured by a fall.
“Loh dear, tania why nak?” soon Reva helps Tania to wake up. He saw a reddish wound on Tania's knee.
“I was pushed sasa sasa bundaaa.. pain.” Tania complained and hugged Reva tightly. He hiccups in Reva's arms.
“I gag push kok mother, earlier tania jatoh himself from the swing even though I have told you not to go up, but the farmer gag nurut.” It was Kilah Sasa who looked frightened.
“Udah, try to see the wound mother son.” Reva saw a thin wound on Tania's knee. It's thin but it must feel very sore.
“I gag intentionally mother, I gag no intention push tania..” Sasa began to cry for fear of being angry.
“Loh, kok sasa nangis.. Bunda kan gag angry sasa...” Reva grabbed sasa's hand and took her into his arms. He rubbed Sasa's back gently, for the curly-haired girl to calm down. “Gini aja, sasa please take medicine for tania yes. Can?”
Sasa nodded quickly. He took the medicine box in his room. They sit in chairs that are neatly lined up. Reva blew slowly on Tania's wound and Tania looked grimaced.
“That hurts so much de? Brother sorry yes, kaka gag means push ade.” looks guilty look on Sasa's face.
“Iya sickt...” whine Tania.
“His injury must have been a bit painful, but mother sure tania strong child. Especially if kak sasa helpin mother medicine tania, want?” Reva looked at Tania and Sasa alternately.
Both are compact. Sasa began to clean Tania's wounds carefully. He gave a small amount of antiseptic medication and covered it with plaster.
“Still sick son?” Ask Reva gently. Tania shook her head with a faint smile on her lips. “Hem.. mother's beloved is strong..” Reva rubbed the head of Tania with affection. “And kak sasa, thank you yaa already ngobatin adenya.” connect Reva who also rubbed the head of Sasa.
“Iya. Yuk de, play again!” take Sasa with spirit. Tania agreed. The two children soon returned to play with the other children.
Always like this, the same scenery in every home that Reva set up to keep the disadvantaged children living without the affection of both parents. Since marrying Raka, Reva has indeed decided to manage several orphanages. He wanted those disadvantaged children to never feel a lack of affection. He always remembered when Ratna looked after and educated him lovingly, so that Reva never felt any shortcomings. That's what Reva wants to give those kids.
Without Reva noticing, from a distance there was a pair of eyes watching him. He smiled at what Reva had done with the two children. He was accompanied by a middle-aged woman who was none other than Ratna.
“Re... Guests have arrived son..” Said Ratna who came with a man Reva knew, namely Theo.
Reva was stunned for a moment when she saw Theo who was so neat with his formal appearance.
“Re, anyone would like to see you.” Said Ratna while rubbing Reva's arm.
Reva greeted Theo with a warm smile. The smile that always made Theo's heart rustle.
“Re, this is mr theo. He came to provide compensation for the children.” Terang Ratna's.
Reva ber”O” without sound.
“Hay re, how are you?” greet Theo while extending his hand.
“Good news. Mr Theo how are you?” Reva welcomed Theo's hand that felt tight for a while. Reva tries to take her hand off Theo with a smile that she keeps developing.
“My news is good.” Theo started to release his hand. For a while Theo looked at his hand with a smile. Grasping Reva's hand made her heart feel like it was being fed by small stings and she loved it.
“Thank you for the kindness of mr. Theo. Only God can repay the kindness of father.” Said Reva. Theo just nodded.
“Yes already, you menemenin pak theo for a moment, I ready to eat for guests and children yes…” said Ratna who never knew what Reva and Theo's relationship was like. “Let's pack, I stay a while.” Ratna rushed away.
Theo nodded. It is Reva and Theo who remain silent to each other. Theo inevitably looked at Reva while Reva tried to turn her gaze to another corner.

Theo asks Reva to take him around looking at the condition of the parlour. It turned out that talking about the parlors and the children made their chatter melt a little but Reva still gave a firm limit to Theo.
“Re, about the incident at that time.” Theo scratched his head even though it was not itchy.
“Sorry incident what did mr theo mean?” tanya Reva is just a stale base. Lightly Reva recalled the incident when Theo's mouth let out words that were quite painful to her heart. But it felt like remembering those words would not bring any good to him.
Theo understood perfectly well Reva's intention of not wanting to discuss the past. Yeah, the past that always makes Theo sorry.
“Em.. But yes I just want to apologize to you re..” said Theo with full seriousness.
Reva understood. “Sure, instead of our fellow humans we should indeed forgive each other?” reva lightly.
Again, in any way Reva always made Theo feel enchanted. Theo could only smile and endure his turbulent feelings.
“O yes, how is raka? I've seen him for a long time.” Theo began to shift his conversation.
“Alhamdulillah mas raka good news.” Sahut Reva immediately. I don't know why he wanted so much to show his relationship with Raka.
“Emm I have no idea if you are married. If I knew, maybe I would attend. But congratulations yes..” again Theo stretched out his hand. Her lips were smiling but her heart was crumbling dimly.
“Thank you.” Tymphal Reva.
They walked back in silence. Sometimes Theo still turned his head Reva whose eyes were circling out of nowhere. The longer he stared at Reva, Theo's heart became more and more unbecoming.
“Mother rere... play with me yuukk...” A boy named Fadil suddenly pulls Reva's hand.
Reva immediately crouched down to compensate for the height of the 6-year-old.
“Fadil dear, mother there are still guests.. Fadil play same tania and sasa kak yes.” said Reva gently. Fadil looked scowled and looked at Theo with dislike. He feels there is a rival nearby besides Raka's father who never wants to share Reva with him.
“Hey, fadill.k kok ngeliatnya so anyway..it's his name gag politely son.” continued Reva half whispered to warn Fadil.
“Om who the hell is mother? How are mother gag with father raka?” fadil's protest was only returned with a smile by Reva. He feels bad for Theo, but his name is also children. But what happens if the one who met this om is Raka's father? That glance entered Reva's mind.
“Sayang, fadil main same other temen-temen yaa... later mama nyuluh ok?” Fadil only fell silent, he looked at Theo with dislike. But after that he immediately ran over to his friends.
Reva stood up again and tucked her hair in a huff.
“Sorry sir theo, kids do sometimes..”.
“Gag pa-p. His name is also children, right?” Theo tries to put an end to Reva's awkwardness. Reva was just nodding. “Seems like you really like kids?” Theo asked again, but Reva only smiled. He did not intend to explain that, anyway Theo can already see it.
