Several Years of Silence ..
I wiped away the sweaty sweat that flooded my forehead, then went back to mopping the floor that people were increasingly passing through . Currently I work as an office girl in one of the largest Dept Store in new york, what can be expected by a dropout like me ? , Being able to work in this place alone I am very grateful even though the salary in this place is not enough to support our needs at least this is very helpful .
Every now and then I glance at the clock with my hand , then go back to cleaning the floors . Five minutes from my break, it means I'm going to meet my little angel, Rain .
Rain is my son, now he is 4 years old and we currently live in New York.I returned to this city after Rain turned two years old , Mama and my Papa remain in the village because they want to finish the old days there he said .
Five minutes had passed and I immediately cleaned the bucket and other equipment, in fact we had an automatic cleaning device but somehow it was only used if the Mall was going to close . After washing my hands, I took a rice box and a bottle of water I brought for my son .
Right now Rain is in daycare in front of the Dapt Store where I work , actually, where I work, there is also a daycare just that his weekly payment is equal to my salary of one month and I really will not be able to pay it .
" As usual, Ms . Milen ?" Viona asked kindly by saying my last name to make me smile kindly to the woman
Yak, My last name is Milen . Cindy Milen is my full name and my son is Rain Milen .
" Yes Viona, is Rain okay today ? " Take a question to the beautiful woman .
Viona gave her thumbs up and smiled gently as Rain did nothing . I also immediately walked to the place where the children were playing at this time after having a little chat with Viona earlier .
Instantly I saw Rain sitting around hugging his robot that I bought a few months ago , my gaze also turned around the other children who were playing with each other but I saw Rein just sitting alone in the park chair .
I also went straight to my only child and touched the top of his head gently to make Rein look at me .
" What's up with the hotshot, mommy ? " Look at me for the first time with a voice and also a gentle smile
Rain looked at me with his shoulder face while standing up and patting his butt gently which was a little dirty because of the artificial grass .
" Mommy long ago "he said grumbling to make me smile wide when he saw his face that was very adorable in my opinion
Instantly Rain grabbed my palm and led me out of the playground .
His little hand that held my hand made a sense of comfort and happiness spread into my heart to make the fatigue that I felt disappeared instantly .
We walked to the artificial park on the roof of the building, which was our favorite place since Rain first entered the daycare .
" Mommy, what's Masakin Rain ? " Sanya while staring at the box of supplies that I hold at this time
" Sausage spaghetti dear "my answer made Rain cheerfully and told me to quickly open the lunchbox
" Mommy's best cuisine "praise her continuously while eating the food I feed her into her mouth
I smiled happily as I stared at Rain who now looked better than he had before . I continued to feed Rain and also occasionally told her many things .
" Did Mommy not eat ? " Task her to me but I just shook my head slowly and smiled gently while continuing to bribe her back
I purposely pressed my stomach so as not to get too hungry because of the lunch money from the office I deliberately kept so that Rain did not feel any shortage . I also deliberately rented a small apartment that was a little luxurious for a handicapped person like me because I wanted Rain to live in a good neighborhood .
I continued to feed Rain until it did not feel like this was the last bribe and I also gave Rain a drink to make Rain smile broadly displaying a row of small teeth.
" Fatty , thank you Mommy "said with a happy smile after finishing her drink
I saw him also smile happily while scrambling his hair soft to make Rain a little bit upset but the level it looks very adorable in my eyes .
" Rain wants to tell Mommy something ? " I asked Rain about the matter
" Um.. They don't want to play with Rain, Momm "he said, putting on a gloomy face
" They said Rain just wanted to borrow their toys, just say Rain just wanted to hold Momm . Keep them thinking of the robot Rain ugly, yes the robot Rain is ugly but it's Mommy who loves "Connect her at length with the sound of her lisp and also her sad face
I was silent as I continued to look at Rain who was now lowering his head while stroking his little robot , the robot was already ugly as Rain said . instantly I saw a puddle of water in my son's eyes at this time to make my heart feel sliced when I saw it.
" I'm sorry Mommy ya, Rain "I said to her as she hugged my son's body and gently stroked the tip of his head
" Mommy is not wrong, it's one Rain who holds their robots" he said innocently blaming himself
I hugged Rain more and more into my arms and inhaled deeply the fragrance that Rain let out as if it was a sedative to.
" Mommy's hero can't cry "my words remind him of Rain but now I'm the one who cries when I see my son's situation like this
I really feel guilty for Rain, I feel unworthy to be a good parent to my son . For me Rain must not lack anything but the fact is that I cannot make my son happy .
" Later if Mommy has money, Mommy will buy a new robot for Rain" I said softly while loosening my arms to make Rain stare at me ,
I saw her clear eyes now turned happy maybe very happy until the eyes of the child turned into a crescent moon to make me who saw it also happy.
" Are you really, Mom ? " Tanya asked while looking happily at me and I just nodded my head slowly while smiling gently as if reassuring my baby
" The promise "he said again made sure of me while showing his tiny little finger towards me
" Yes, Mommy promised "my words reassured my baby
" Rein is very dear to Mommy" he said as he scattered his body into my arms again
" Mommy is also affectionate and in love with Rain" I said as I gently stroked my son's back
After meeting Rain I immediately ran to the Dept Store where I worked because I was 10 minutes late from my break and that meant very bad , Ms.Lenna could have scolded me at length because of my current delay so that as much as possible I immediately ran up the escalator to the room where the cleaning workers were .
Upon arrival there I immediately knocked slowly on the door and I could see Ms.Lenna staring intently at the door where I was standing as if waiting for my presence .
" Over and over again Ms. Cindy? , This is three times in three weeks you're late . Do you want your salary to be cut ? " Snapped at me but I just looked down scared.
" I'm sorry Ms.Lenna .. I promise this is the last "My words while looking at Ms.Lenna with a gaze pleading for her to feel pity
I saw Ms.Lenna just pinched her temple then left me without a word to make me breathe a little relieved . I immediately put the empty lunch town in my bag and took the hungry procrastinator food that I always ate to prop my stomach up .
After I finished I returned with a cloth and also cleaning fluid to clean the glass in the Mall .
After finishing at the bottom I immediately went up to the top floor to clean up the next places , I walked down my head while looking at the floors that I was on right now until I finally hit something more precisely hit someone .
The little bucket I was carrying spilled onto the guy's shoes and by reflex I lowered my head to wipe the expensive shoes .
" Oh , **** !! . Who was he "cried the man in an angry tone
I swallowed my saliva with great difficulty when I heard the voice of that person, I hope that he is not the person I am thinking of right now, I wish it was someone else .
" You can ruin it, Miss "he said again in a high voice
I further lowered my head without intending to see it I was really afraid to see that figure, I was afraid that it was really him.
" A.I'm sorry, sir "I said nervously with difficulty
I got up from my position but I still lowered my head without intending to stare at him , right now I can only see after the expensive one he wore on his body . I still did not dare to raise my face and stare at her .
" What's sorry I could finish it all ? " he said in a snapping voice that made me even more afraid and nervous
I courageously puffed my head and looked at her fearfully and nervously, I very much hope that she is not the same person I thought she was . god is not on my side right now.
After a few years, he and I have finally met again . He was my ex-lover Renal Astan the man who rejected my presence as well as the fetus in my stomach first .
