THE WOMAN (END)
•35

"Andi, how's the school? Andi maw!" askaku.

Andi termangu for a moment before then devouring the porridge on his spoon.

"Seneng ma!" Doubtful.

"There are no jahilin Andi, right? or Andi naughty to Temen Andi?"

"No," he said again.

I smiled, no matter how smart he was lying I certainly knew what he was hiding from me.

"And you're not lying, are you? if there's anything Andi's story well same mama! Andi again angry, Andi again sprained, or Andi again sad, Andi story just all the same mama!" wheedledo

Andi looked at me carefully.

"And you want to tell me the same story, right?!" askaku expectantly.

"Andi Hates because my father died! mom has to work. Andi is home alone! Andi doesn't like it!" His story with disappointed tone. Andi was downcast letting her food.

I was shocked to hear Andi's reply. His shoulders shook, Andi cried, but he did not show it in front of me.

I approached Andi, I sat down beside him.

"And you're angry, aren't you, son? sorry, mommy, baby!" my hatchling gently pulled his hand.

"Mama also did not want to leave Andi, but if mama did not work! What about Andi's school? How is our life going forward, son!" tukasku.

Andi turned slowly towards me. His face was swollen with tears.

"Andi would like to forgive mama, son!" My request.

Andi then thrust into my arms.he cried bitterly.so did I who dissolved in eternity. Although Andi a good and intelligent child but Andi still very small, and still very small, he could not take all this for granted. The absence of parents must have made him shaken. feel neglected.I realized it. but then again, again, I realized it, I don't know what to do to make Andi happy.

I'm just next to a fragile wing trying to heal. Looking for a way out of my own grief, but again I failed. I sacrificed my only son's happiness instead.

Last night I talked a lot with Andi, so she fell asleep in my arms.

Andi asked me to be there every Sunday with her. I promised him not to work too long and chose to spend a lot of time for him, even though I realized, it was one of the hardest requests for me to grant, I will try to fulfill his wish and beg the merciful, in order to make my path easier.

All the way to work, I just kept wiping my eyes. Last night we both cried for quite a while, and it made both my eyes swollen. I even forgot to compress it. I turned my head slowly when there was a large window of the shop window, just to check how swollen my eyes were.

"It's a good thing not to look too good!" mumamku.

"Aren't you looking for a job? it just so happens we need an employee!" there was a sweet voice that came out of the store by handing me the form paper.

The girl in Babyface looked at me expectantly.

I stared back at him for a long time, then turned to peek into the store.it turned out to be a coffee shop that was still new and had not been opened. As I recall this place was a home furnishing store since when it turned into a coffee shop.

"Where's sis? if you can't get in now! next week too! it just so happens that we'll be opening up next week!" closed again.

I looked at the form confused, this store is actually closer than my home to work elsewhere.Coincidentally, my contract with mas Sandy is about to end this week. Is this the answer to my prayer?

"I'll take the form first!" tukasku doubt.

"Please brother! there is also a phone number listed.if anyone wants to ask, please call the number! hope you can join!"

"thank you. Oh yeah, your name?"

ask me to extend a hand.

I smiled faintly, her cheerful mannerism making me excited.

"If so, his Reward system is one for big brother!" I flirted back and walked away from the place waving the form I was holding.

Arriving at Sandy's mas house I arrived at exactly 7. I was just about to knock on the door. Bi Marni opened it first and pulled me right away.

"Eh! what's wrong Bi?" manywould be surprised.

"Alis, why are you so late? look!" Bi Marni pointed towards the dining room. I followed her directions, I saw Sandy sitting quietly at the dinner table, but she didn't touch the food at all.

"That's Sandy why bi?" tanyaku plain.

Bi Marni turned her head towards me as if holding back her losses.

"Say Mas Sandy today you want breakfast together.so he asked for more food! he's waiting for you lis," he explained.

"Well!" I said after remembering Sandy's short message asking me to come early.

"Yes, samperin is there! don't forget to apologize!" Bi Marni pushed me.

"Eh, bentar bi. How's Bu Ayu?" much worry.

"Bu Ayu has departed from 5 am this morning.it is already there! you were samperin in Sandy's first!" bi Marni commands while giving her thumbs up.

I walked around confusedly approaching the dining table.

"Excuse me, sorry I'm late! I forgot about yesterday,-"

"Sit down!" word's cold.

I stared at the food on the table. It was really a lot. And why did he do all this? is he gonna eat it all? thought

"Ekehm," he instantly made me pull up the chair and sit next to him.

"Why late?" ask without looking at me.

"I forgot, I thought Sandy was joking!" I grinned confusedly.

"Why do you think all my commands are joking?" tanyanya while pushing the plate like it was already tasteless to continue.

"Yes, sorry. His name also forgot!" My heart's holding back the upset.

"Eat!" orders again.

I glanced at him for a moment, he didn't even look at me. Sandy was angry. I turned to look at the menu so much food that this time I could not resist, even though my stomach was actually very full.

I took a piece of omlette and also a steamed pumpkin.I saw Sandy's mas just took a piece of salmon and boiled potatoes.

"Here my mas, let me cut it!" I took the initiative so he wouldn't get too mad at me.

I took his spoon and cut up the salmon for him,

But then Sandy held my wrist, and looked at me for a long time.

Again I was faced with a position like this, and it really made me uncomfortable.

"After cutting it off. You should have fed me some tea!" the door was half pushy.
