One-Third-Night Matchmaker "ALIA"
EPS. 55 Is Getting Closer

''Mmmm Alia. I want to take a bath, said Elvan to Alia who was busy cooking in the kitchen.

''Yes, I took a shower there. That's the bathroom outside.''

''OK.'' Elvan then went out through the kitchen. Elvan was very surprised to see a very simple bathroom. A plastic tub, a worn dipper and a squat closet. Elvam scrunched his forehead, how could he bathe in this state. Even the size of Alia's bathroom, there was not a quarter of the area of her bathroom.

''Jeez, Alia. How can you take a shower with a place like this. There is no warm water, Elvan murmured. Elvan decides to go back and approaches Alia.

''Alia?''

''What's up?''

''There is no warm water, right?''

''Where is it, El. You can't take a shower, right? you're disgusted, aren't you?''

''Ngg-no. Can I have some warm water? is there a new toothbrush?'' hearing Elvan's question, Alia gave a grunt. Alia then gets Elvan a new toothbrush.

''Here's his new toothbrush. The hot water wait a minute, let me prepare, Alia said with a slight annoyance.

''OKAY. Thank you.'' Elvan sat in the kitchen and watched Alia cook and wait for the water to boil.

''Every day is like this?''

''Yes, why?''

''No.''

''It is the same with your life, El. In your home everything is there and is automatic. Take a hot bath, just puter. If the water is here in the heat first. If at home you use a bathup, use a shower, a sitting closet, if here the water is accommodated with a bucket, the closet is squatting and wear a dipper that is outdated too. The soap also uses bar soap instead of liquid soap.'' Cerocos Alia who explains the details of the condition of the bathroom.

''Don't be angry. It's a baper, '' Elvan timpal. Alia saw the water in the pot that had started to boil, Alia immediately picked it up and prepared the bath water for Elvan.

''Please Mr. Elvan. It is ready, please take a shower, said Alia who invited Elvan as her employer. Elvan immediately went to the bathroom and put a cynical look at Alia.

...****************...

Elvan is enjoying breakfast with Alia's family. For some reason Elvan was happy, Elvan seemed to have a complete family. Elvan's eyes took turns to look and pay attention to the faces of Alia, Andra and Mr. Samir. Like there was no burden in their eyes. Despite eating with a simple menu, they all enjoyed it very much.

''Is Elvan not eating? don't like it?''

''No, no, Om. Like really, said Elvan while spooning food into his mouth.

''How is your school?'' ask Alia.

''All right, Brother. There's no problem. I was told to teach one child.''

''She's a girl, sister. Understandably the children of people are, the school grades are all bad. And I am the one who taught him. Usually it's the wayward boys, well this is even a girl, it's weird Kak.''

''Yes, the attitude and nature of a person is not based on gender, Andra. As long as you can help, you can help.''

''Yes, Brother. It's just so hard to teach. Bawel really,'' Andra's story is greeted with a small laugh Dira.

''Patience, Andra. It could be a charity for you.''

''Yes, Brother. That was the advice my sister always remembered.''

''If Dad, the medicine is still right?''

''Still, son. You don't worry.''

''Thankful. If you eat carefully. Sorry if Dad's eating menu has to be different on its own.''

''It's okay, son. What matters is how you can connect with your age. So that Dad can always accompany you.''

''Dad, don't talk like that. Dad should always be healthy, said Alia while gently rubbing the back of her father's hand.

''Alia, you are indeed amazing, '' Elvan murmured inwardly.

''What does Om really hurt?'' asked Elvan curiously.

''Diabetic, son. And it's been a long time. During this time Om's life depends on the same drugs and insulin injections. Om would love to be given a long life because it has not been able to make Alia and Andra happy. But sometimes it is better that Om wants to be called by God quickly, so that Alia and Andra do not have to tire of working. Alia and Andra have to work part-time to make money. In addition to daily needs also to finance Om's treatment, ''' Mr. Samir's story that made Alia shed tears.

''Andra do you really work?'' ask Elvan.

''Yes, Brother. After school, I worked part-time at a cafe. At first I was secretly because I didn't want Alia to get angry. Alia's sister always told me to focus on school but I as a boy couldn't stay still, seeing my brother working alone. Moreover, the laundry wage is not too big.''

''It's Andra, you don't have to tell a long story with Elvan. Elvan will not understand, said Alia. Elvan ignores Alia's words.

''You did your best as a boy, Andra. And for Om, Om must be healthy huh. At least hold out for Andra and Alia. They still need Om very much.''

''Yes, son of Elvan. Thank you.''

''Tumben he is wise but he himself is very messed up, '' muttered Alia in heart.

"Yes God. Alia, elo is really great. Elo can survive and stay happy with circumstances like this. Elo is a girl but elo can sustain the family. College and work are not easy. But you can do all that. Elo also has a very caring and affectionate family. Same with me. No one cares about me. And here I can feel the warmth of a family. The closer you get to elo, somehow my feelings get even stranger, too" Elvan murmured inwardly
