"Sandy's aunt extended your contract!" bi Marni held my hand firmly.

After leaving Sandy's mas room, I took the time to chat with bi Marni in the kitchen.

"But still bi, I don't feel good about Bu Ayu." I hesitated

"You're calm Lis, Sandy's your salary anyway. Ma'am Ayu can't do anything! but aunty weird too, why are you the only one who paid directly the same mas Sandy well? aunty same mang revelation?!" chirps.

"Due to bi? aren't all workers paid the same Sandy yah?" much

"No, Lis, we're all paid the same mother except you. Or maybe Sandy has fallen in love with you Lis!" Again with a curious look.

"Opaan deh bi, just getting worse!" My fizz is uncomfortable.

"Nothing lis, if indeed Sandy likes you. Besides aunt horrors the same boyfriend who once broke up!" whispered sure.

I grinned confusedly at the story, and I wasn't interested in it at all.

"It's their business bi, we don't need to interfere. want to break up or not, it's up to them!" reply cuek.

"You also do not be too indifferent Lis, once sensitive to the same attitude mas Sandy!" inexplicably.

I smiled faintly, not dismissing what Marni said.

Our conversation felt so fast that it was unconscious, time had shown at 1 pm.

"Sorry bi, I'm not even sure aunty is chatting. So stack up aunty's work!"

"It's okay, Lis, it's Saturday. Ma'am Ayu is not home!" hatchling

"Aunt you've been making lunch for Sandy?" much

"That's right! you always pay attention to Sandy mas well.Sandy will definitely feel lost if you stop working.Good Monday, you have started working again" selorohnya with a happy face.

"Udah bi habit, not the attention that Gimana-gimana. aunty do not make strange gossip deh!" hisisku.

"But seriously aunt Lis, Sandy likes you!" whispered half-tempting again.

"Bi, mending aunt anterin food now deh! I also want to go home" I whispered to him.

"Yes, you be careful on the road, Lis, see you on Monday!" He stepped in while preparing to bring his tray.

"Thank you bi, assalamualaikum!" my father left the big house.

Get off the angkot I accidentally stopped by one of the fruit stalls. I want to buy Andi's favorite mango.

There are many people who are choosing the fruits of dikios.

I immediately asked for a plastic bag and chose a large and fresh fruit.

"That's a less sweet richness!" put a voice behind me.

I looked surprised, though,

"Eh my Erwin! buy fruit too?" sahutku

"Yes, I happen to order orange tea!" he answered while standing next to me.

"Tea Eyebrow, who buy mango for? Andi?!"

"Yes, I love eating mangoes!" obviously

"Yes, here I help choose the sweet!" his suggestion then chose some mangoes in front of him.

After buying mangoes, I took pains to reject Erwin's invitation to go home along with various reasons.

"But mas, -"

"Do you ever refuse to give me tea?" persuade him again

I stared at him for a long time, and I finally collapsed and went home with him.

Along the way I tried to open up our simple chat.

"Where does Mas Erwin work anyway?" I ask who does not know his workplace yet.

"So bude hasn't told you about tea? tumben once, usually he would tell everything without being asked!" sindir mas Erwin on his own bude. I just chuckled at his answer.

"But no matter how good the goddess ma'am really mas, if there is no goddess ma'am maybe I will have trouble leaving Andi." I clearly.

"So, where does Erwin work?" My dream again

"I work in the office where Pakde works. I heard that Alis tea also used to work in the factory?" saith.

"Oh, so Erwin mas worked in my workplace office first? how does it feel to be an office person?" ask me enthusiastically

"Yes that tea, repot! give me a headache." answered lazily.

"But it's better to be an office person! rather than working in his factory. so tired!" I know who knows what it's like to work there.

"Unfortunately the factory and the office is far away, if only deket, Mas Erwin certainly can see How the condition of the factory!" my tukas.

"But by the way next week I also have a direct visit to the factory with some other new employees" he explained again.

"Wahh, good dong mas! if you go to the factory please find my friend whose name is Rahma, he is in the HRD section salamin for me mas!" My love.

"Rahmas? a close friend of Eyebrow tea?" tannya

"Yes, my friend.he's a good guy.who knows if Erwin is interested!" my temptation is.

I look through the mirror reflection, Erwin just stare a smile without answering again.

I lay my body on the chair, not how long Andi came and sat leaning near me.

"Mama's tired, huh?" tanyanya later

"No really! Mama just wants to sleep!" my answer closed my eyes.

"Well, you don't work anymore?!" Andi looked up at me.

"Why did Andi ask that?" selidikku curious.

"Mending Andi do not have to attend school events so that mama can save money!" he said with a sincere look.

I looked at her and I made a sweet smile for her.

"You're a diligent school! don't think about rich things that's my dear mother's business." answered I stroked her cheek.

"But my mom doesn't work anymore!" The insistent.

"Mama still works, baby! even mama works again at Bu Ayu's house, so you can pay for all your school needs, son!"

"Mama is not tired of working? when Dad was there, you didn't need to work. Now you have to work every day!" his weakness.

My son's worries make me feel even more guilty for him. Can I make him happy later, even without a father?

I rubbed his head gently, I kissed his forehead. I prayed my whole heart so I could live my life with Andi.
