WITHOUT YOU

WITHOUT YOU
ARA


Today is the weekend. Ara is off work and has designed her beautiful day by playing with the sisters of the home. It was also welcomed by everyone.


Usually when Ara accompanies them to play, not just play. But there will be a prize game. At the end of the day, all the children of the home still get the same gift.


Ara was still busy struggling in the kitchen helping Ms. Hasna prepare breakfast. It's still half seven.


"Sister Ara.. Ayo we start the game today? "


Ara who was stirring vegetables in a large cauldron turned to the one who called out to her.


"Still morning Vina. My sister helped mom first. "


Vina who was impatient to play also frowned. He usually wins games a la Ara. Not always winning. But almost all Ara-style games are won by Vina.


"Come brother. Vina wants to play. "Clear Vina.


Ara smiled gently. Put the vegetable stirrer near the stove. Then turn the knob and the fire goes out.


" What does Vina know, what do we want to play? " Task Ara by poking Vina's tiny nose. The orphanage boy who was deliberately entrusted by his uncle. Reason for not being able to support children anymore. Living his two children is still difficult. Though luxurious style with the latest output car and expensive items attached to his body.


Vina looked up then shook her head slowly. Very amusing. This little eight-year-old girl was always enthusiastic about playing with others.


Being the smallest, making the children of the parlors who are over the age often succumb. Although some are not willing to lose to Vina.


"Okay, here's approaching. Brother whispered, but this is a secret between us huh. Let no one else know. " Ara spoke very slowly, showing how she would utter a great secret. Convince a little Vina to believe.


"No want brother. That's called cheating. God does not like dishonest people. Cheating is also part of being dishonest. Vina doesn't want God to be angry. "


Alhamdulillahot... This little boy no longer frowned because he could not play. Because Ms. Hasna will nag at length times wide times high on Ara, if you invite the children of the playhouse without breakfast first.


"Yes, then Vina must be patient first.. We will play with the others. Older brother.. Help mom first. Poor old mom has to cook a lot. "


Vina laughed when she saw Ara showing the word "many" using both hands that were pulled wide.


"Yes brother.. "


"Wait in the dining room. Ten minutes of breakfast is ready. "


Again Vina laughed at Ara's words. This time the word "eat" tickled little Vina's ears.


Vina did not answer Ara's orders. Just nodding slowly, then looking at his head peeking at the existence of Hasna the kitchen.


"Mom... Says sister, mom is old. " Vina yelled shrill her little voice. Then run as fast as possible to avoid the eyes of Ara who has glared at horror.


Jeez bocil... So nosy of you..


He could complain about something no-no. Uh but right...


Just turned around. Ara has been presented with a view of Hasna's mother who ruffled her waist, do not forget her face that turned wry.


Ara only grimaced resignedly while raising two fingers signifying peace.


"Peace mom.. We're peaceful. Vina's words are not right. "


Ms. Hasna just clucked to hear Ara's reasoning. Could evasive. Ms. Hasna had heard it herself, that before Vina said "old", Ara had said it first.


Meaning.. Who here isn't right?


" Where could this beautiful old mother be? My mom is very young like ABG. Oops. "


Ms. Hasna's eyes bulged as she said ABG. It was old now even ABG.


Astarghfirullah's.. Ms. Hasna could only massage her chest against her foster daughter this one.


"Have finished it. It fried the bakwan. I want to see the laundry first. "


"Who is my mother. "


***


Guinews...


Instantly everything rushed scrambling first to the dining table.


Whoa... A plate of rice has been presented complete with vegetable spinach and bakwan corn, meet the dining table that extends.


"It's the crackers, all will get parts of each one pack. Recall... "


"Can't fight. Everyone will get a part. "


Haha.


The room became crowded by the boisterous sounds of laughter of the inhabitants of the parlour. Not yet Hasna continued her words, already cut by the children. All answered simultaneously. They were very memorized with one piece of advice from Hasna. Because it is said every meal. And every time imitated by children to invite laughter together. Ms. Hasna was not angry when her words were cut so. Only at the right time will he give his message. Don't like to cut someone else's conversation. Especially adult talk, if you can not listen and it is better not to be in the place of adults who talk. "It's not time to listen to adult chatter. "


"Everything's been? "


"It's been... "


Alhamdulillahot. The children of the parlors here are very obedient. So there will be no drama about toys or food. Because Ms. Hasna very often reminds me of what can be shared, and what is personal. Thankful that children easily understand what Hasna meant.


"Alright, we start breakfast with a do'a before the meal. "


"Aamiya.. "


Everyone eats with gourmand.


...****************...


"Its... " Vina cried out in spirit, her voice sounding all the way to the courtyard. They were playing in the inner hall.


The loud applause sounded to make Vina feel happy. He has four times been able to guess the name of the fruits with the prefix letter according to the count of fingers.


"Yeeee... I won again.. "


Everyone just laughed happily to see the youngest jump in excitement because they will get a gift. Everyone will get a prize. The difference is, the prize for the winner will be given directly by Ara. The prize for the other is shared by the winner.


This Ara did with the aim, so that someday if these sisters are getting something, they will always remember to share with others.


"Gee... There are so many gifts. Pencil, eraser, notebook, ruler and wah... A sharpener that can spin like a bicycle gowes. "


"Yeah.. There are so many gifts. "


"Surely brother Ara is out of payday. "


These children's mischief made Ara unable to resist laughing. He even felt stiff on his cheeks.


"Hemm, don't forget to say what? " Ara Fishing. He wanted to get the brothers to thank anyone after being given something. Goods and services. "


Simultaneously the whole room answered "Thank you, Brother Ara.. "


Everyone was silent waiting. Ara was still silent. The kids have already thanked me.


Ara should have answered "Sama." The rules are so.


Ara placed her index finger on top of her chin. Showing a thoughtful look made everyone wait for Ara to open her voice.


"There is less. " Said Ara.


And it was little Vina who managed to remember his flaws.


"Thank you beautiful sister Ara is matchless. "


The small voice of Vina who was shrill so much her spirit made Miss Hasna who happened to be near the door of the hall shook her head.


There's just this Ara. His sister was so fucked.
