THE SMILE OF THE MOON
Alfian felt that there was no need to come to the old building anymore. White hooded girl..

Alfian had already finished counting the money in his hands. His wages as a Novel writer in one of the Applications of writing a novel just taken. It's one million four hundred thousand. He has to calculate his spending this month. Paying for electricity, paying wifi bills and the rest will be left to his mother. In addition, he had a desire to take a computer course at the boarding school Nurul Yaqin. Desire that he had long aspired to but constrained mentally is not strong. He still did not dare to accept people's views of him. He still could not imagine how the people would swarm and talk about his state. He will be the center of attention who will walk among normal people. He did not want to be pitied for his circumstances. He doesn't demand much. He wanted people to treat him as normal, indifferent to his circumstances. Even though no one wants to be friends with him, it's better.

But he had to hear what his mother said first. If his mother permits, he is ready to accept the consequences of his appearance.

Alfian tidied back the money he had counted. He took his walking stick and stepped out to find his mother.

"Mom, there's something Alfian wants to talk to you about". Alfian said when he found his mother in the kitchen. The middle-aged woman looked over. Seeing Alfian leaning against the kitchen door, he immediately turned off the fire of his gas stove. Alfian ahead of his mother stepped onto the porch of the house.

"What's wrong son" said Ely's mother as she rubbed Alfian's back. Alfian took out a bunch of banknotes from his pocket and handed them to ma'am...

"God is so many, son. Where did you get it, son". Said Ely's mom while releasing the money bond.

"Mother's habit, from writing a novel" Alfian said briefly.

"Alhamdulillah, I am grateful that you can have income for our daily needs. If there's something you want to buy, say, let me buy it".

Alfian shook his head small.

"Alfian wants a laptop but it's too expensive. It costs four times as much as the honor of writing Alfian". Said Alfian lowering his head. Seeing that Ely was sad, she rubbed Alfian's hair and kissed her.

"Wish mommy son, hopefully I can Arisan next month. God willing it later to buy your laptop". Miss Ely smiled.

"Not to ma'am. Too expensive. That's for mom alone.Alfian also does not understand too much about laptops. Maybe Alfian rizki who will use Alfian next month to buy HP only. Alfian just use HP ma'am". Alfian said while holding his mother's hand.

"No need to ma'am". Alfian was silent for a moment. "Oya ma'am, actually Alfian wants a computer course at the boarding school. Pay is only three hundred a month. But that's if mom lets it". Reciprocity.

Bu Ely looked at the clingy Alfian. Tears were seen flowing down her cheeks. Realizing that his mother had been silent for a long time, Alfian turned his head and found that his mother was wiping her tears.

"Mother why are you crying" asked Alfian. He tried to wipe away the tears on his mother's cheek. The tears of Ely's mother were flowing. He hugged Alfian's body tightly. For a moment they both dissolved in tears.

"From the beginning, I never forbade you where my son was. I just don't want to lose you. You are the only mother's child. You're the only place mom complains. I don't want people mocking your situation. I don't want you to feel ashamed, son". Said Ely ma'am with a sigh.

Alfian let go of his mother's embrace. He wiped his mother's tears. He looked strong and wanted to tell his mother that it would be okay.

"Mom, I wasn't born like this. I was normal like people until it changed everything. I don't want to keep confining myself because of bad prejudices that don't necessarily happen. I am a student at a boarding school in God willing, whose people understand the science of religion. Understand how to get along well. Alfian is sure to make a lot of friends there.

My age is growing more and more. Little will no one ever remember me when I am gone".

Miss Ely wiped her tears. Hearing Alfian's words of wisdom, he tried hard to hold back the tears. He grabbed Alfian's hand and kissed him. Alfian kissed his mother's hand.

Mother Ely nodded.

"Tomorrow mother take you to the boarding school. It just so happens that I have an acquaintance in the boarding school. Mom's friend was Aliyah. Now you have breakfast first yes, mother has fried your favorite dried squid". Bu Ely got up and led Alfian's body into the kitchen.
