PERFECT LIFE
Chapter 52. Start of Simplicity

At about five in the morning Riana was awake. Riana had to get used to living independently without the hands of a maid because now all she had to do by herself from cooking, cleaning the house and washing clothes. Although she had never done the job before, Riana knew how to do the job.

After shopping from the market Riana immediately cooked the ingredients she had bought from kale and other vegetables. He put it in the refrigerator. The distance of her house with the market is quite a distance of about five kilos until Riana buys more groceries for stock the next week.

After the cooking was done Riana immediately took a bath after bathing She immediately woke Steve. The plan today is Riana wants to put Steve into Kindergarten. The holiday season has ended until Steve who is five years old must be immediately registered to Kindergarten school.

"Steve eat your breakfast in the afternoon!"

Riana and Steve are now in the dining room with a plate filled with rice in Riana's hand. Steve who is not used to eating alone must be fed.

Steve devours food from his Mommy feed.

Beh ... beh .. beh.

Steve melted the food that had just entered his mouth.

"Steve, why do you love the food!" Riana spoke with a high tone.

"Asin Mom." Steve immediately drank the water right in front of him to produce a salty taste that was still felt on his tongue.

Riana finally tried her cooking and sure enough the vegetables she cooked were very salty. Although he understood how to cook, he never practiced directly. Fortunately, the egg is flat because it only uses food flavoring.

"Had eaten the same egg." Riana replaced Steve's rice with a new one and only with a side dish.

After breakfast Riana took Steve to her school which is about 200 meters by foot.

Steve was quite easy to get along with his peers until the first day of school he was immediately familiar with some of his friends. But not Steve if not act Steve who is always spoiled does not even allow his friends to use the toys he holds. There was a loud commotion going on there. Luckily Steve's teacher was very patient slowly persuaded Steve and finally Steve wanted to share and play with his friends.

Steve's first day at school was over Riana who deliberately waited for Steve on his first day of school was quite happy. It does not feel that his little son has gone to school when only yesterday it feels like he gave birth to Steve but now his little Steve has status as a student.

"Steve are you happy at your new school?" riana asked when she was home. He chatted casually while changing Steve's clothes.

"Steve doesn't like Mom, Steve wants to go home to Daddy Riko Mom," Steve whined. A day without meeting Juna and Nayya and his toy Steve felt lethargic.

"Sorry Mom, Steve wants to be with Mommy but Steve wants to be at Daddy's." Steve hugged Riana's body sitting on the edge of the bed.

"For a while we have to be here Steve. Someday we'll be back but not now so Steve has to strengthen Mommy." Riana stroked Steve's head.

Day after day passed making Steve and Riana get used to simple life. Riana who always escorted and waited for Steve was offered to become a Kindergarten teacher at the school because the old Kindergarten teacher moved out of town. Riana also loves her new job even though she is paid small but Riana is very happy. Again not material but part. The funny and innocent behavior of his students including his own son managed to make Riana's days so cheerful but not infrequently also made dizzy.

After school after Riana and Steve as usual walk to his house although in the village people use a motorbike for transportation but Riana prefers to walk if near and take a motorcycle when it was a long way away like when I went to the market.

When a black car is parked in front of his house, Steve runs because he knows whose car it is. A smile from the family immediately greeted Riana who immediately ran like Steve.Riana kissed Nani's hand and hugged her tightly as well as Melati. The meeting was so washed away in yearning these few weeks. So is the case with Juna and Nayya who was immediately cheerful with the meeting even Nayya skipped school to visit her cousin.

Riana immediately let in after the moment of letting go of longing was over. The house is quite simple and makeshift furniture including the old Sifa is now occupied by his family.

Riko looked around the house, He bought the house but He did not know the house he bought was so simple. Riko told people to buy it. Let alone luxury homes in the village the houses look just as simple as they want to be searched wherever the house is like that as well.

"Sister didn't think you could live in a house like this Riana" Riko said.

"Don't say what the hell Mas, should be a proud Big Brother." Melati like nostalgia is in Riana's house. Its location in the village is also a simple house reminding Melati where her origins used to be. His life changed when married to Riko who changed everything including his two younger siblings who are now also successful with his work.

"Drink Mom, Ma'am, Brother." Riana serves tea as well as chips that she made herself from studying at the place where her neighbor Mbak Reni who sells chips. Sometimes Riana helps also while learning and the results of banana chips are already presented in the jar today.

Nani who continued to pay attention to Riana's face smiled happily as well as Melati. Two people who are always sensitive with happiness are also sadness on Riana's face.

"Tell me what you're doing here, Mel saw you look happy." Melati pulls Riana's hand to sit between him and Nani.

"Riana taught at Steve's school, Ma'am. Meeting cute and innocent children makes Riana always happy." Riana's Story.

Nani and Melati enthusiastically hear while Riko looks out. The boisterous sound outside Steve, Nayya and Juna was so loud that Riko left the house instead of hearing Riana's story which he thought was very silly.

After a long story Riana rushed to the kitchen to cook, Melati also helped while Nani chose to go out to see boisterous children playing crunch. Not only Steve Juna and Nayya, the other children in the village who were Steve's playmates joined in.
