While everyone is huddled listening to the life story told by Chela, Rich chooses to stay away from them all and walk towards the backyard of his cousin's sister's house. His head seemed to break every time considering his status which is now a father of daughters from relationships outside marriage.
"What's Rich doing here?" Runi who was busy pacing back and forth helped Menta add the dishes that had started to run out in the dining room greeted Rich who was standing on the doorstep of the backyard near the kitchen.
"Eh Runi, no really, just want to get some fresh air" replied the man clumsy. Although Runi's attitude looks like normal during the family event, Rich still hesitated because he felt as if Chela was a symbol of his sins in the past.
"But outside it was hot" at that time it showed twelve o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was blazing overhead.
"Yes, actually I was very alone sitting inside with the others, like something strange" finally said honestly.
"Is it because of Chela?" The finished Runi put down his soup bowl then approached towards Rich.
"I'm so ashamed of Runi, I don't seem to have any face in front of them all, my sin is like being skinned alive!" said the man.
"That's just a big sister's feeling, they don't think that way, I think they're all very accepting of Chela with open arms!" Runi heartened Rich.
"Hufffff I don't know, maybe it's true, but I'm obviously very tired of all this!" he took a breath and threw it away with one rough gust.
"Right up, brother, believe me that all this will be fine!" said the girl while patting Rich's shoulder to strengthen him.
"Thank you Runi" Rich again felt a flush of fresh water in the desert arid when the girl he loved gave him moral support.
"Papa, I'm looking everywhere it turns out to be here huh?" Chela called out to Rich, but the summoned one just turned his head without giving any reaction, making the little girl grieve.
"Hey pretty, is the meal over?" Runi greets Chela to distract the girl who feels neglected by the papa.
"Hello aunt, yes" he nodded with a smile.
"Don't want to add?" ask the little girl.
"No, I'm full of auntie, thank you" she replied.
"Don't the food?" Runi continued to try to divert the conversation to make Chela forget her sadness because of Rich's rejection.
"His son, let alone his cheese paste, hemmm" with his charms he expressed his feelings.
"Then it should add dong" said Runi again.
"Not ah, later my stomach can explode with fullness while shaking its head and stroking its stomach.
"Ahahahahahah you could have been, so make me anxious" praised while pinching Chela's cheek with anxiety.
"What are you playing?" Chela was enthusiastic.
"Snake the stairs" said Sheba son of Sera and Gamal.
"Exciting" the little girl's face twinkled.
"Yes, we're playing!" Cilla, son of Rach and Gide, then embraces the shoulder of her cousin's sister.
"Papa, aunt, I played first yeah" Chela then said goodbye to Rich and Runi.
"Have fun ya beautiful" Runi waved her hand.
"She's so sweet, big sister is so lucky to have a child like Chela" said Runi sincerely.
"Do you think that's what you think?" Rich scrunched his forehead.
"Of course, you can't see if everyone likes you!" said seriously.
"Come away" answered with just a shrug.
"Sister should try to get close to him, he's very sweet, surely long ago sister will love him!" admonish with all my heart.
"But I'm confused where to start" Rich doesn't know what to do.
"Hemmm, yes, let me help you later" because since adolescence he often follows social action activities to abandoned children, Runi is already accustomed to interacting with young children.
"Do you really want to help me?" Rich looked at Runi with a sharp look.
"Of course" he was sure.
"Thank you Runi, you're really very kind" Rich is very lucky to love a woman whose heart is very soft.
"Sama-sama, yes we have come inside, surely others are looking for big brother!" bring later.
"Yes, come on" then Rich followed Runi's steps with a smile growing on his lips. Although his heart could not yet accept a hundred percent of Chela's presence in his life, but with all that Runi had said, he became more open-minded about the little girl. He also became very sure that his love was only for Runi who could accept his present condition.
"Perhaps if I am forced to accept Chela, then what deserves to be her mama will be just a Runi" Rich was so inward as he looked at the back of the girl walking in front of him.
