WITHOUT YOU

WITHOUT YOU
ARA


Ara was still laughing because of her own actions. Getting compliments from innocent children like his younger siblings feels very pleasant, yes despite having to be forced.


Haha


Satisfied laugh. Ara immediately gave two large red crackle bags containing gift packs. It was the same as Vina got. Stationery.


Initially Ara wanted to buy school bags for all of them. But when looking at the contents of his account and savings, it seems not enough. He currently has a home. He bought a KPR subsidized house without Ms. Hasna's knowledge. If Ms. Hasna knew, this would cause her grief. Ara did not want to see Hasna sad.


Someday. Ara intends to separate herself from the orphanage that has raised her. He didn't want to burden Ms. Hasna any longer. That's why Ara bought the house secretly. When he moved, nothing would change. The needs of the orphanage children, Ara will also continue to strive for it.


"Ra, there's a guest." Call Hasna's mother to disperse Ara's daydream in the midst of the ripples the children received the cube-shaped parcel.


"Who's mom?"


"Don't know. Man, he said your coworker."


Ara's forehead frowned. He was not close enough to his co-workers, especially men. Who yes, who visited. There's no way he's...


"Edo.."


"Hi Ra's.. Sorry I didn't know you were here. I asked the HRD to check your home address, it's here."


Ara spread her eyes


"This is my house. Come on in."


In the living room, Edo was silent. Feeling touched the privacy of an Ara. The girl who had long captivated her heart.


"R.. "


"Yes?"


"Ehm... Sorry yes. I was wrong to come here?"


Ara was also confused by herself. All this time no friend came to visit him. Because Ara always answered staying in the dorm. Of course, it can prevent his friends who want to visit. Because some stories say. The dormitory mother was exhausted, later pity Ara if scolded to receive many guests.


"No. Do. I'm just surprised."


Then Ara looked down. Either Appa's mind crosses his brain. Shall?


"I'm a foster kid here Do, and you heard about a wasted child. "


Ara paused her talk a little. Staring at Edo, heedfully tried to guess Edo's thoughts through his eyes, failing. Ara had no idea what Edo was thinking. He looked very calm waiting for the explanation Ara did not ask for.


Edo came to this parlour because he wanted to see Ara. Intend to invite him to go have fun just lunch together at his new restaurant that just launched yesterday.


"That's right. I found my mother near a dumpster at the end of the road after the intersection you passed here."


"R.. Whoever you are. You are Ara. You don't need to explain who you are, because who likes you doesn't need that. And those who hate you don't care. To me... You're still Ara."


Ara's eyes glazed over hearing Edo's long strands of words. Edo is a wise man who can always calm Ara when in the bully. Although Ara does not care about bully and his college friends. It turned out that Edo understood his feelings enough. Slowly approach and give a word of encouragement. And succeed. Ara becomes stronger in the face of this world thanks to the spirit of Edo, yes, although sometimes Edo acts absurd.


"You're a great girl Ra. Don't mind the other person's eyes."


"Thank you, yeah.."


Suddenly Hasna entered the living room with a tray containing two glasses of warm tea and setoples of Ara's hand-made pastries.


"Son Edo has known Ara for a long time?"


"Lumayan. We are friends at university. Uh Ara applied for a job in the same place as me."


"Mother, Ara, son. She's.."


Ms. Hasna was unable to continue her words. Afraid of passing Ara, and worried that this one foster child feels unwanted again.


"Mothers.. Ara this is my only girlfriend. She's special, ma'am."


Edo blinked one eye at BU Hasna. It made the middle-aged woman slightly gasp, but then laugh.


Thankfully, Ara is not alone out there.


"Edo this is my boss mom. Don't drop me off to this evil boss. Later my duties even more."


Edo's eyes glared at him.


"R.. Plis. That work is your part. I'd rather your work than..."


"Stop." Pekik Ara's.


"Don't talk about work here. I'm dizzy to know. Tomorrow we're at work, so talk about it tomorrow."


Then Ara's eyes squinted sarcastically at something.


"Don't tell me you're looking for me because you want to tell me overtime?"


"You want to overtime Ra? I'm the hell, yes." Goda Edo's. He raises his eyebrows funny. Doesn't fit that ferocious face acting so silly. Where is the impression of a haughty and cold boss that he usually displays in the office?


"No Edo's. Huss there you go home that way."


"Fra... It can't be so with guests. " Sheety bu Hasna. He hesitated to Edo, his first arrival was actually welcomed expulsion by his own friend.


"It's common, ma'am. That girl likes to be mean to me. Though..."


"That is.. Though what Edo, my honorable boss."


"Hey... It's outside of work hours. Don't call the boss."


"I'm here to make sure you have lunch at my new restaurant."


"Oh yeah.. There are gifts for the children of the home as well. I'll take it in the car first ya."


When Edo came out of the living room. Mata bu Hasna and Ara were presented with a box car that they did not know the contents and who the sender was.


Edo seemed to talk seriously with the driver of the box car. Then two people helped him open and transported the contents into the parlour.


What Ara saw, there were school bags, shoes of various sizes and new school uniforms from SD, Junior High School and High School.


Ara's eyes heated up seeing this. He knew Edo was a good man. But watch his younger brothers..


"Thank you Edo. You've been so kind to me, this time you've been so kind to my family. "


"No need to thank Ara. They're my family, too."


Ara gawking. I don't know what Edo means. Where are the children of this home? Edo was just here today. Coulda..


Basic absurd. Cerca Ara's.


Because of the compulsion of Hasna and Edo, Ara went into her room to prepare to leave with Edo.


And as Ara prepared for Edo accompanied by Hasna's mother to talk about Ara and the children's home, also about Hasna's private home.


"Thank you for the kindness, son Edo. I can't reply to anything. May Allah bestow His goodness upon you."


The prayer was only Edo reply with Aamiin's words.
