"I'm fine, Miss Sum.. Just not feeling well.."

That's the lie that came out of Chrysant's mouth that Ruby brought home.

Ruby explained everything to Sumirna and apologized for bringing Chrysant home in a bad state.

Actually, before the name Chrysant called, he saw Christin's face backstage was waving his hand towards Chrysant.

That made Chrysant's mind go awry. Tonight's events add to Chrysant's nightmare.

The night became long, as the world did not allow him to sleep well every night.

Rubbing his head Chrysant once again became a light to himself. "Don't be weak Chrysant." But her tears could not stop flowing.

After an hour more lying weak and daydreaming with tears that dry up to make his face swollen, "Ah.." Chrysant got up from his bed and began to tidy up his room, although not too dirty, he arranged and cleaned it again.

Chrysant also set foot into the stalls and tidied up the sales as well as cleaning the floors, tables and all the dirty parts.

He also cleaned the living room and kitchen. Chrysant looked at the food that stayed a little, I was sauteing a little vegetable and frying tempeh if possible Sumirna woke up to eat.

After cooking Chrysant washes all the dishes and clothes. The last thing he did was sweep the lawn and burn the grass.

No notice the clock has shown at four in the morning. Chrysant went into his room and did homework even though today was not the day of the examination.

Like a zombie Chrysant started the day with dark circles around his eyes. When he arrived at Chrysant school, he received several congratulations from students and teachers.

Amelaty and Aisyah also give warm hugs to friends they are proud of.

During the ceremony, Chrysant, who had not slept all night, became dizzy and squatted because he was unable to stand.

Ruby who saw the incident immediately came out of Master's row and came to Chrysant.

Amelaty and Aisyah wanted to step foot into the ranks of the 7A class but Rike who was standing holding his son behind their ranks made them unable to move.

Ruby immediately took Chrysant to the UKS and laid him down.

"Mom ?" Call Chrysant in a very weak voice.

"Yes Nak ?"

". . ."

"Mom call your parents yeah.."

"May I go home ?" Chrysant who was already feverish felt unable to afford it for School today.

"Sure ! Sure ! But you need to call your parents."

"No need Mom.. Mother Sum must be busy right now.. I want to go straight to the doctor."

"Let Mother take you Okay !"

". . ." Chrysant nodded his head.

Ruby and Chrysant went to the famous Pediatrician in his service because patients did not need to go to the pharmacy to redeem the drug, the drug was available and very many options.

After checking apparently Chrysant was just exhausted and the doctor gave vitamins and candy to Chrysant.

The thing that makes Ruby very surprised is watching Chrysant very casually pay by swiping his ATM card, of course, a special ATM for Children.

When she finished, Ruby drove Chrysant home. When arriving at the door depant Ruby gave some advice to Chrysant.

"Thank you, ma'am, for taking me to the doctor and coming home."

"Together Son, don't forget the door lock Okay !"

Chrysant.

Chrysant.

"No need to take a shower today because you didn't sleep last night."

Chrysant.

"Mom's so proud of you son.. At this young age.. You can even go to the doctor alone.. You're first grade Junior High.." Ruby cried with Chrysant's independence.

". . ." Chrysant smiled and hugged Ruby.

"Yes and this." Ruby took the envelope out of her bag and gave it to Chrysant. "This is your prize, congratulations to the first champion in the Kriya art competition.. Chrysant Amon."

"Thank you, Ruby."

March 2020

For participants who have won the race in the arts and sports will then proceed to the provincial level.

All participants in Central Sulawesi gathered in Palu and placed in the Regional Government Mess of each Contingent Region.

Not with the participants from Palu City. Because it is in the city so that the race committee does not provide shelter.

Ruby, who is very worried about Chrysant, decides to stay with him until Chrysant finishes his lomb.

"Good night.."

"Good night, Miss Ruby, please come in." Sumirna with a warm smile welcomed Ruby's arrival. "Wait a minute I make tea. Sorry We only have tea and syrup because I and Chrysant don't like coffee."

"It's okay Mom.. Sorry to bother."

Ruby who was sitting in the living room of Sumirna's house felt very peaceful with the atmosphere of the house that was very familiar.

"This is the tea, I also make fried bananas. Sorry if this is all there is."

Ruby with great joy in her heart enjoyed the simple dishes of Sumirna banquet. "I love the atmosphere of Mom's house.. The lights are not too bright, the naturalness is wide and there are stalls in front.. I really like this kind of atmosphere."

"Thank you, Ruby.. So how's the lomba preparation ? It's reached the level of the Province right ?"

"Yes Ma.. I'm grateful that Mother Sum's Son has such a high level of creativity, I've never even taught her how to make patterns in crafts and Chrysant without Wingshe's able to go through it all."

"That's what I worry about.. He always felt he could handle everything by himself."

"Why are you worried ? I should be happy."

"I'm so happy with his independent personality that I'm afraid in the future he has no friends."

"Hopefully it's not like that which Ms. Sum.."

"Amen."

"Look at Mother Sum.. Do I have to stay at Mom's house until Chrysant finishes all the races, because I'm worried that Chrysant is tired of not managing his time well. Mother doesn't have to bother.. I will eat out and my clothes will not be washed here.. The point is I'm just making sure Chrysant gets everything on schedule.. Consider me the manager."

"Please do what Ruby's mom wants to do. I hope Mother Ruby accepts our situation and our home. I accept the arrival of Mother Ruby with all my heart."

"Thank you, Mother Sum.. I really appreciate Mom's kindness."

Sumirna, Ruby and Chrysant, the story of three people who live in a roof without any blood relation was started. Sumirna would sleep with Ruby, given that Chrysant's bed was not too big.

The presence of Ruby also greatly helped Sumirna who was very busy in the office. Sumirna who was often exhausted was usually only able to spend a little time with Chrysant.

Ruby is like Chrysant's older sister who reminds her to manage her study time, sleep or eat.

Chrysant also began to smile and laugh more often than usual. Sumirna was so grateful Ruby could crack the frozen wall in Chrysant's heart that it was hard to have friends.
