The Secretaries
CHAPTER 4

Alifia resumed her journey, she decided to go home because it was already afternoon and would continue looking for her work tomorrow again, let's just say today is still not sustenance who knows tomorrow his sustenance has come

while passing through the quiet alley, it was as if Alifia heard the sound of a child crying, Alifia turned her body around to look around the alley for the existence of the source of the sound she heard that her voice sounded very close, because she did not find her whereabouts Alifia went back on her journey without wanting to ignore the sound of crying because Alifia thought it was the sound of a child crying in one of the houses in the alley that she passed

But accidentally Alifia saw a little boy sitting, ah no more precisely was squatting under a tree de edge of a dead end alley that was very seii

"Hikss. hiksss, Mamaa"

At first glance Alifia heard the voice of the little boy crying to his mother, whether the child was dumped by his parents or scattered from his parents, once upon a time she cried alone in this very quiet place

Slowly but surely Alifia's feet involuntarily walked closer towards the crying little boy, Alifia continued to walk closer and closer the more clearly Alifia could see the boy clearly, the boy also looked towards Alifia

"Hi handsome boy, why are you crying?" Alifia asked gently, she squatted down in front of the boy in high alignment, not forgetting her hand rubbing the little boy's hair "wow this boy is very handsome" alifia muttered when she could see the boy's face clearly, her eyes were blue, it seemed like this child was of foreign descent, and her age was 3 years old

The little boy continued to stare fixedly at Alifia "hey baby, you why?" Alifia asked again no less gently than that

"Mamaaa" said he

"Huh? Mama?" Alifia glanced behind her perhaps there was the mother of this boy standing behind her, but in fact when Alifia looked back she found no one there

"Where is your dear mother? Hm?"

"Huaaaa mama" the boy hugged Alifia's neck tightly as if not wanting to lose her

"Huh? Meaning her? She thinks I'm her mama?" Alifia wondered to herself confused

"Mama manganese tindalin lay, lay angen cama mama" the boy rubbed Alifia's cheek

I wonder why Alifia's heart ached like it was sliced to hear the child's words

"Where is your house, baby? Let Auntie take you home"

"Ndak au, lay au cama mama" the boy hugged Alifia even tighter

"Yeah, but where's your mama, baby?" Alifia asked softly

"Ni mama lay Agi lay peyuk Tan ma"

Alifia fell silent, though, he understands very well with the lisp language of children because he is used to talking with his nephew, namely baim son bang Ilham when baim was a child spoke his same as a child who was hugging him, the little boy said that his mother was hugging him, meaning that the little boy thought that Alifia was his mother

"But Auntie is not your mother dear, let Auntie take you home yes" Alifia carried the tiny body

"Ndak au, lay au cama mama, huaaa.." the boy cried loudly again

Alifia was overwhelmed to hear the boy's cry that sounded so loud "yes baby is the same mom"

"Mama Ndak au name na lay? Name na lay ya lay maa"

"Ohh his name is you lay"

"Butan lay mah but layy"

"Yes lay"

"That's mama's forest, but Lay's"

"Oh, is your name Ray?" Guess Alifia when she's ngeh with Ray's wit that can't speak the letter R

"Hu'um maa" Ray pressed his cheek against Alifia's chest in Alifia's sling and felt very comfortable with the position

While Alifia herself was confused to think about where to take this child, if brought home will definitely make hebot mamah and his brothers, he could even be hung on a high cliff by Ilham's brother if he knew that Alifia came home with a small child who called him mama

But Alifia also felt unbearable if you had to leave a handsome child Ray in this lonely alley, had already broken through, this child will bring Alifia home, he also wanted to help this child

"Why are you in that quiet place, baby, aren't you scared?" Ask Alifia

"Lay brought kecana cama aunty ahat maa, muta Aunty na teliatan telem banett, lay Dali Adi naliin mama api mama Ndak come nolongin lay" replied Ray

Alifia nodded in understanding, it turned out that the child was dumped by her parents who Alifia thought the person who threw away this child must be her stepmother, she said, there's no way her biological parents could ever throw away this handsome and cute kid Ray

Ray kissed Alifia's cheek many times "my mama's kayang kama" she said with a face that looked plain and adorable

Alifia's heart was overjoyed to hear the affectionate statement of a child she had just found and did not know whose truth the child was, and the child called it by the call of mama, it made Alifia feel like she had become a real mama even though she had never felt the name giving birth, let alone giving birth, marrying Alifia still never

At the age of her who has entered the age of 25 years, Alifia is still very conflicted with her bachelor status, she is still not ready to open her heart to anyone, for Alifia she does not think too much about the name of a mate, a mate, after all, there is a God who regulates everything, Alifia believes if it is time also surely a mate will come alone for him without having to seek and certainly hopefully the best

"Today mama will take you to the house of mama ya" Alifia kissed the gnash of Ray's cheeks, in his heart Alifia laughed amusedly when she said that she was Mama

"Te lumah mama? Holee te house mama" Ray cheered happily

"You happy, baby?"

"Yes ma, lay with banett's arms"

Alifia kept walking while thinking hard what she should do to this confused child thinking about how to care for this child let alone he had to work, if he left it to his Mom what could be? But he did not want to trouble his mother anymore. The boy known as Ray had fallen asleep comfortably in his sling since earlier, this day Alifia felt very apes at all, had not got a new job, yet got a new job, then shot by a Junior High boy whose origins are unclear from where then now he finds a abandoned Caucasian child, tomorrow what else will happen?

"There are so many people who can throw away a child as handsome and innocent as this, but unfortunately the bad people do not have compassion" thought Alifia

"Hopefully Mamah and bang Irfan do not mind if I bring this child to live together for a while" said Alifia in full hope
