The Strange Girl Nathan's
A Visit to Orphanage

The next morning, Hisham actually invited Sapto to his house. All the talk they did at home. Sukma's condition is still the same, the girl is more silent as yesterday. The wide smile and radiant face that had appeared lately, had disappeared somewhere. However, even so, when asked if he was okay, Sukma said that he was okay.

The conversation was held in Hisham's office. In fact, Nathan was willing to skip college today. He did not want to die curious about the plan drawn up by his mother and father.

"As Mr. Hisham said, we should find out starting from the Sukma home environment first. We have to go to the house, who knows if there are any clues there," Sapto explained at length.

"If so, tomorrow we start to find out from there. I have pocketed the address of the house, when the processing of Sukma adoption papers," said Hisham.

"We should act quickly. Soon the children will pass the graduation exam, and we will lose one of the sources of information. Sukma friends used to be the strongest source for real information. So, the sooner the better."

"Yes. Nathan mentioned the same thing yesterday."

"Then, you overhaul some of my schedules, and if there are meetings in these weeks, send one of our people alone to represent. Because I might be busy taking care of this," Hisham ordered.

"Good, Sir! But, if for example the client does not want to accept your presence to be represented, how, sir?"

"You can cancel the meeting. For me, family health is very important. I think we already know the act." Sapto gave a small smile, he had already guessed what Hisham's answer would be like. Indeed such a thing is not exemplary, but, for the size of a Hisham whose name is already well known among business people, termination of cooperation from clients will obviously harm the client itself. Moreover, in the business world Hisham is well known. There was no scandal whatsoever, neither the family scandal nor his behavior.

In the afternoon, Hisham and Fifi come to the orphanage that previously cared for Sukma. While Nathan is asked to accompany Sukma at home.

"Pity, Sukma. I only knew about him from a neighbor who sent him here, and all the stories I had told Mom and Dad at that time. Maybe true, there is something that Nak Sukma experienced in his school, and is not known by his neighbors as well," said Ibu Panti with a look full of sadness. Here long ago, only he could interact with Sukma. He was very grateful when Fifi and Hisham came and asked permission to adopt Sukma. Sukma is a poor girl. Since childhood has suffered, and ended up making his psychic condition disturbed. If only he had a lot of money, he had asked a psychiatrist to handle Sukma. Unfortunately, the donation of the home is only enough for their daily needs. Moreover, the children there are not a few in number. If the funds are only used for Sukma, pity the other children.

"Yes, Mom. In fact, lately there has been a lot of progress in Sukma. And I think he can also control his fear, rich he is not hysterical and all kinds. Only, he felt sorry for keeping her in silence. The sadness on his face was very noticeable," Fifi told.

The mother of the house smiled. "May Nak Sukma recover quickly, yes, ma'am. He's a good boy. May the Lord ease the path of Mother and Father for the healing of Sukma."

"Aamiin's." Fifi and Hisham together guarantee Mother Panti's prayer.

"Later, if Nak Sukma is healed, I want to meet him. Want to see the version of the beautiful in a state of joy, no longer full of sadness as before."

"Yes, Mom. Insha'allah. We will definitely visit here by bringing Sukma if the situation has improved. Sukma would also love to meet the mother who took care of him." Hisham responded to Mother Panti's words. He could see the sincerity on the face of the Mother Panti. Unimagined if Mother Panti refused to take care of Sukma when delivered citizens here first. I don't know what that girl is going to be like now.
