Tough Widow
Write

The night is getting late, but Ayu has not been able to close her eyes. He woke up, kissing Adiba and Alifa alternately. Cover part of their body with a blanket then lean on the headboard. 

Starting to think more broadly in order to get a regular job and a greater income, he could not work like that continue, afraid not to be able to make his children comfortable, he said, moreover, they still need a lot of money to continue their education. 

"I must and must not surrender before war. Children should be successful people without the help of their papa."

Inadvertently Ayu's hand nudged an old book that was on the bedside table. He leaned over, picked up the book and opened it. It turned out to be a famous novel that had been raised to the big screen. 

"I haven't read a book in a long time." Read the title in the node section. Then smile and open it. 

Real story. 

At once Ayu thought about her current life that was filled with drama. Close the book again and get out of bed. 

Not much different from her who has been hurt, in the book also explains the betrayal of a husband.

During this time Ayu often heard about a great writer who was originally just a housewife, and it made her smitten.

"I have to try it." Ayu got up from the bed. He went into Hanan's room, saw the boy sleeping on his side. 

"May you be a righteous child" said Ayu Lirih, fearing Hanan was disturbed by his presence. 

He picked up an empty book and a pen and brought it to his room. 

"Where do I start?" Ayu is still confused. His memory goes back to ten years ago, where he and Ikram first met. 

His finger started to swing. Write what's in his brain right now. Word by word began to line up to fill the book. 

"It looks like it's too much." 

Ayu tore the paper that was already filled with his writing and then threw it into the trash can. Think hard again to start it all.

"Where the hell is it?" Starting to get upset because he can not make good writing as he bca. Take the book you found and open it again. 

Bismillah 

Ayu re-wrote her life journey in the book. He poured out what he had been through all this time. 

For almost an hour, he was finally able to write a few pieces. Although still chaotic and many are not suitable, Ayu is satisfied to have channeled what is in his brain at this time. 

It seems like I write like this too. 

Recalling the names of the authors who have succeeded in making dozens of works makes him more confident will plunge into the field. 

He laid his body beside Adiba. Decompose the feeling of fatigue and will continue tomorrow morning. 

The clock shows at eight in the morning. After cleaning the house and cooking, Ayu returns to the room, but before she makes sure the children are beside her.

"Sir Hanan, take care of the sisters, yes!" pinta Ayu on her first child. 

"Yes, Ma," Hanan replied lazily, he could not refuse Ayu's request. Keeping Alifa has become his daily activity. In fact, since leaving his father's house, Hanan took part in taking care of his younger siblings, especially Alifa. 

Seeing her mother busy at the table made Hanan curious. He gives Alifa a toy and then moves on, approaching Ayu who seems unaware of its existence. 

"What's mom nulis?" hanan's question suddenly shocked Ayu. 

Ayu turned her head, gently rubbing the cheeks of the son who looked slightly tapered.

"Mama just wanted to write a story. Not working." 

Hanan's face was bowed in lethargy. It's been three months that he didn't go to school, and that's what made his life gray. Every day you can only read textbooks without anyone teaching.

"When do I go to school, Ma?" ask Hanan. 

Take a deep breath. 

I can't let Hanan down on me. 

"Would we want to go to school?" tanya Ayu made sure. 

Hanan nodded quickly while smiling. Expect full of Ayu, because only the woman is the only place to pit all her desires. 

"Yes, Ma. I want to go to school, but if you don't have money, you don't have money, you'll go to school." 

Hearing that made Ayu's heart slashed, where maybe he did not meet the simple enough request. In fact, education is more important than anything. 

"Today you're going to enroll Hanan in school, so there's no need to be sad anymore." 

"Horeee…" 

Hanan jumped up and down in excitement. Likewise with Alifa who followed the movement of the brother until the weathered bed sounded. 

"If I'm when, Ma?" pinta Alifa. 

"A little while, yeah." 

Ayu took the wallet in the drawer and counted the money. 

Thank God, it seems like this is enough to buy uniforms and other necessities. 

"Now Hanan takes a bath, we'll be on our way."

Ayu looked at Hanan's back which started to drift away. Heavy, but he must not complain in front of his children. Must be their role model to be a strong person under any circumstances.

Ayu takes Hanan to the nearest school. Although not as luxurious as the old school, he hopes his son can adapt well. Besides being environmentally friendly, the place can also be reached by riding a bicycle. 

"Tomorrow the bicycle yes, Ma," Hanan pinta said as she watched some students ride bicycles. 

"Yes," Ayu answered quickly.

Convinced that this time he could fulfill Hanan's request. 

"Hopefully go to school here, son." Hanan peeked at Hanan's forehead before the boy entered his new class. 

The headmaster smiled as Ayu bailed home. Take the woman to the front page.

For now you can only send you to this simple place, but you promise to make you successful people. 

Ayu rubbed her tears that had escaped. Sometimes he thinks he has failed to become a mother and wants to give up, but also has to live the reality that happened, that he should not be inferior to the situation that is squeezing.

When Ayu is confused by the request of her children who drain the bag, Ikram is busy preparing for his marriage with Rani. The man will hold a luxurious party like a wish snag prospective wife.

"How about we invite Ayu, Mas?" rani asks Ikram who is busy with a cell phone in his hand.

"As for you, I'm sure he won't come." Ikram said very sure.

Thinking that Ayu is now just a poor woman who doesn't deserve to come to a classy party.

Rani laughs satisfied to have mastered an Ikram. In fact, it can have the man completely without sharing it with other women.

"When he came how?" ask Rani again.

Ikram smiled grinning

"Then, I'll praise her as a great woman."
