Aileen was wiping the glass of the house that she would use to study the children and the parents. He did it alone after asking Faiz and his two friends to buy lunch.
Too focused on his activities, Aileen did not realize if someone was watching him with a wounded gaze.
"Finally done too!" Aileen was satisfied after seeing the newly cleaned window glass no more dust stuck. She was very happy, but when she turned around, Aileen was surprised by a man she had not seen for a few days.
The cloth in his hand fell. He became so nervous that even his legs felt unable to move.
All Aileen could do was call out her name, albeit without a sound. The man before him nodded with a faint smile and walked up to Aileen.
"How are you?" Aileen watched their hands clasping each other again. Things she misses, but tries to hide.
"Sir, why are you here?" aileen asked in surprise, not long after Faiz and his two friends came, as did a man she saw last night talking to Faiz.
Seeing their arrival Randu let go of his grasp. He shifted his body so that it stood beside Aileen whose body was still stiffening.
"Bak Ai, this was the same Om who asked us where Mbak Ai is now!" shoot Faiz.
"Yesterday I saw Faiz on the way home and I asked Lanang to follow Faiz after I remembered that he was the one we had met under the bridge!"
The man named Lanang nodded politely to Aileen and immediately left after Randu told her to. The man invited her to sit on a long wooden bench next to the house.
Aileen just glanced at Randu and she was confused as to what to say to her husband. Especially when Randu told Faiz and his two friends to enter the house.
"Don't you miss me?" Randu again grabbed Aileen's hand. He held it with a frown. "It's only been a few days since you left why are your hands so rough?"
Aileen immediately pulled out her hand. "You're doing a heavy job?" Aileen shakes. "Then?"
"Sister shouldn't have come here!"
"Why? What did Mama say until you left and now talk like that?" Randu's jaw was hardened when his question had to offend him. "I know you left for mom's reasons, right?"
Aileen exhaled softly and then shook her head. "No!"
"Is there anything else?"
"Nothing, Brother. Actually also I never intend to leave the house, that night I just want to find fresh air and do not realize that it has gone too far!"
Randu listened to Aileen carefully. "At that time there were two men who were drunk and wicked to me. I passed out after Faiz and his friend who I just brought here!"
Randu let out a rough breath. He held onto both of Aileen's shoulders to face her. "But what reason did you choose not to go home? Do you know how worried I am because you just disappeared?" asked Randu with passionate emotion.
"Sorry, Brother. I don't think long!" Randu shook his head when he saw the regret from Aileen. "I was just thinking about starting to get away from you guys so the time comes I'm not surprised!"
Without saying anything more, Randu hugged Aileen. He heaved a sigh of relief after returning to meet Aileen.
For a long time they hugged without saying a word, until they did not realize the three little children who they thought were still busy with food were peeping at them.
"It turns out to be a heavy adult, yes!" moaned Ucup while leaning his body on the wall.
Rido who stood opposite Ucup nodded in agreement. "Yes. So grown up is heavy, I'm afraid to grow up!" sahut Faiz who stood beside Ucup. Both of his friends agreed.
"But, right, every year we age. It means we're still adults, dong?" Rido added more of their conversation. "Huh. If Ma'am Ai goes home who taught us? We'll be smart adults, dong!"
Faiz and Ucup looked at the clingy Rido then the three heaved a heavy sigh together.
"I'm comfortable here, brother. Besides, like I said earlier, I want to help the people here to learn. At least even if they are scavengers, they can still learn!"
Aileen persisted in refusing Randu's invitation to return to the apartment. "I can't let you live in such a simple house. Look now you're thin, you're pregnant!"
Aileen snorted annoyedly at Randu's words. "It's like here I can relax! Take it easy, I'm not taking this kid away!"
"Huh. Why do you always think so? So you've been thinking I'm taking you home for fear that you're going far away again?" ask Randu annoyed. The man touched Aileen's forehead slowly.
"Sister, sick!" Aileen rubbed her forehead, despite not feeling any pain at all. He looked at Aileen Lamat. "If Big Brother's goal isn't because of this child, is Big Brother really worried about me? Or maybe Big Brother for a few days my mind keeps on and I'm afraid I'm lost?" god Aileen's.
"It depends on what you think. Obviously, I want you to go home!" Aileen shakes.
"I can't, Brother. What is the same house I rented? Same people here who are really eager to come to learn?"
"We'll think about it when we get to the apartment!" broken Randu.
Aileen nodded back. He still insisted on refusing it. "Nr ...."
"You can still do anything here. I will not forbid, as long as you go home!"
Aileen was silent, she noticed the look on Randu's face that looked so serious and then nodded. "But I want to stay home again. I don't want to be in the apartment. I don't want to have to face my mommy brother or my mom alone. I want when they come you're next to me!"
"All right!"
"Bak Ai ...!" faiz came running towards them. He and his two friends could not bear to keep eavesdropping on the two adults' conversation.
"Faiz?" Aileen watched Faiz with teary eyes confused. He approached Faiz and the boy immediately hugged him. "What's wrong?"
"Mr Ai wants to get out of here?" faiz asked while crying.
Aileen noticed Ucup and Rido who were also holding back her cries. He turned towards the silent Randu. "Faiz, Ma'am Ai must come with your husband!"
"You don't worry. Your mother will stay here! There will also be a teacher who will teach you!" said Randu calmly. He approached Aileen and patted Faiz's shoulder which I still held Aileen on while crying.
"What's right, Om?" ask Ucup.
"really. O promise!"
Faiz let go of his embrace. He then wiped his tears with his sleeves and shook Randu's middle finger.
"Om not lying?" Randu smiled warmly and then shook his head.
"Om not lying. But, you have to give Ms. Ai permission to go home!"
Faiz thrusts his little finger at Randu, understanding that Randu is hooking up their little finger. Rido and Ucup approached and directly hugged Randu just like that.
"Geez!" Randu had almost fallen because of their sudden actions.
"Thank you, yeah, Om. Um same Ma'am Ai is very good!"
Someone who from the beginning knew where Aileen was was so upset at the sight not far from them. He hid behind a big tree so it was invisible.
