This Sunday, Jia invited Rere to attend the school where he teaches. That is to the orphanage to make donations and invite children to study and play. Jia thought, with positive activities, Rere could forget about the problem.
This event is regularly held every 3 months. Donation money comes from student infak collected every Friday.
Rere sat on a bench while looking at a 7-10 year old orphanage who was studying while playing in the yard.
Rere stroked his stomach. It's too bad to see those who don't have parents. While the child is scared, although he does not know who his father is, but he is more fortunate to have a surrogate father like Romeo.
Romeo, what is that man doing now? He has been in Japan for a week. Is that the process of resigning? Or the goods are too much to take a long time to take care of the transfer? Why did he arrive to think of Romeo like this? What does this mean, in missed Romeo?
"Sister, come play with me." A little girl suddenly pulls Rere's hand, making the woman wake up from her daydream.
"Let's play." Whining boy about 6 years old.
"Main what?"
The boy seemed to be thinking, but before long, he arrived running. "Let's go after me, brother." The boy cried while laughing. Her plain face made Rere anxious. Not wanting to disappoint him, Rere ran to chase after him. Not even the boy was overtaken, Rere felt his head was very dizzy. He walked slowly back to my back and sat there.
"Son, let's go after me, chase." The boy pulled Rere's hand.
"Sorry baby, Big Brother's head is dizzy." Rere pinched his head.
Hearing that, the little boy stopped pulling Rere's hand. "Sister sick?"
Rere shaking. "It doesn't hurt, but there's a baby grandpa here." Rere grabbed the tiny hand and then he put it on his stomach. "What's your name?"
"When," he answered softly.
"A very nice name, suitable for a girl as beautiful as you." Praise Rere while gently rubbing Nabila's head.
Not happy, Nabila even moody.
"Am I pretty?"
Rere nodded quickly.
"But if I'm beautiful, why doesn't God love me. Why didn't he give me parents?"
If it's like this, Rere can't answer. He doesn't know what caused Nabila to be here. Did both of her parents die, or did she throw it away?
"That's lucky for him." Nabila touched Rere's stomach. "She's gonna have parents who love her, mom and dad."
Rere's tears suddenly melted. Daddy's? I don't know who the biological father of the fetus in the womb. To be sure, he's a biadap man who leaves the seeds without taking responsibility.
"Why is my sister crying?" Nabila wiped Rere's tears.
Rere shaking. "No, dear father."
"Are you sad, aren't you?"
Lying if he says he's not sad. The problem Rere was facing was quite complicated and made him depressed. But it felt shame if he had to complain to Nabila. Such a small girl can survive without the presence of her parents. As for him, there were still loving parents, and there was also Romeo who was so considerate, still deserved him to complain?
"Usually the people who come here ask us to pray. He said, Our prayers are easy to accept. Do you want to ask for something, let me help you pray?"
Rere touched Nabila's head. The innocent boy really looked sincerely wanting to pray for him.
"So I just want to be happy."
"So Brother is unhappy now?"
"It's not so but..."
"Usually people who have children will ask us to pray for her to get pregnant soon. And the sick man, asking to be prayed for a cure. So if you want to be happy, it means you are sad at the moment."
"Who's Brother's name?"
"Rere."
Nabila immediately raised both of his hands. Don't forget to ask Rere to join her prayer. Facing the Qibla and tidying up his hijab.
"Oh my God, make Brother Rere happy. Eliminate all his sadness."
"Aamiin..."
The prayer sounds very simple, but the meaning is amazing.
Rere heard a mobile phone ringing sound coming from inside his bag. It turns out there was a video call from Romeo. Soon he answered the call.
"Where are you?" Romeo felt alien to the place around Rere. In addition, he also heard the voices of children.
"Take a guess." Rere pointed his cell phone camera around.
Romeo frowned, trying to guess where Rere was right now. But seeing so many little Romeo kids, I thought of it somewhere.
"The orphanage?"
Rere nodded quickly. "Yups, that's right. Sorry, I didn't ask you for permission. I'm here with mama." There's a feeling of condolence in Rere's heart. He did not remember to ask permission before leaving, probably because he was not used to it.
"It's ok, no problem."
"Who is he?" Romeo saw a little girl next to Rere.
"He's my new best friend, Nabila."
"Hi Nabila." Romeo waved his hand towards Nabila.
"Hi Om....." Nabila looked towards Rere. Confused what to say because he doesn't know his name.
"Om Romeo, he's Aunt Rere's husband" Rere said.
"Hi Om Romeo." With the typical laughter of children, Nabila waved his hand towards Romeo.
"When, Om nitip aunt Rere yes, invite him to play so happy."
"So Brother Rere cried Om, he was sad, kept asking Nabila to pray for him to be happy."
"Certainly that?" Nabil nodded quickly.
Romeo looked at Rere, her eyes red, it was obvious that she had just cried.
"Say to Brother Rere, Nabila's prayer will be answered soon. Om Romeo will make Brother Rere happy. Even to forget how to shed tears."
The sound of the mother of the home called Nabila. The boy soon agreed to join his friend.
"When are you home?"
"You miss me?" Romeo asked back.
"Isn't that what you're asking before you leave, so I'll miss you."
"And finally, you miss me?"
"Maybe." Rere flicked his shoulders.
"I am not a bad person who will torment you with longing, because longing is hard. Later tonight, I'll be home."
