Genius Son My name is Aji

Genius Son My name is Aji
Orphanage


Arriving at the orphanage, it was late afternoon. The residents of the home who were not informed in advance, as this was not a routine visit, were still in a busy state on their own. The caretaker in charge of the home was sweeping the yard along with her foster children.


When she stopped the car, and went down mami Rossa along with the others, the mothers who were sweeping and giving directions to the children immediately greeted with sparkling faces.


"Yes Allah... Mami Rossa!"


Shouted the mother of the home shocked by the arrival of mami Rossa and her entourage. The broom she was holding, she immediately gave it to the child not far from where she was standing.


"Assynoltom..."


Mami Rossa said hello to the orphanage mother and the other children.


"Waallaikumsalam.." answered them all in unison.


"Cong you give me no news?" asked the orphanage mother with a nervous face. He felt unworthy to welcome mother Rossa with the circumstances as it is today.


"Have this too Ma'am" replied mami Rossa in pleasantries.


"Let's get you down, sir!"


Mami Rossa asked both drivers to drop off the items in the other car.


Both drivers obeyed. And so is the aunt. He helped the driver pack to tidy up the items that were taken down.


"Okay everyone, help!" The mother gave instructions to her foster children.


With pleasure, they all helped to bring the luggage that was brought to them - they also later.


Some bring it inside, some tidy up and arrange it so as not to overlap with others. They all did so with great enthusiasm and a carefree heart.


Aji looked at the behavior of so many children with her eyes pinched. He was watching everything. Some are the same age as him, some are bigger but some are still small than Aji himself. But they seemed to be able to enjoy the role without complaining much.


Aji was enjoying this unusual sight he saw intensely. He learned a new lesson from what he sees today.


"Aji. Aji Honey..." Cilla called out her son's name slowly when she saw Aji who was still intensely watching the orphanage children.


"Yes Ma" replied Aji short.


"So see what," asked Cilla curiously.


"That!" Aji answered her mother's question, pointing to the children who were busy helping the driver and also the aunt of the housekeeper mami Rossa.


"Aji want to help?" ask her mom, Cilla.


"Can?" ask Aji enthusiastically. He wanted to know what it was like to join them.


"But..."


Aji did not continue his words and nodded quickly when he saw that a child had fallen with his luggage.


"Eh, careful!"


"Review, be careful."


"Be careful dong!"


"Haha..."


"Thankiratin. Not careful though!"


"Racaine!"


"Hehehe... It's okay" he said with a cheerful face.


Aji frowned. He was astonished and confused by all of them. He kept watching everything that happened next.


Mami Rossa's small talk show and the orphanage owner are still going on. Mami Rossa also said that all this is an expression of gratitude for the health of her children and grandchildren and their safety.


"Hopefully what we bring is beneficial for the children as well as the needs of the parlour."


"We are all also grateful to Mami Rossa and her family. May we still be given health, safety and abundant fortune as well. Everything is a blessing!"


"Aamiin..."


"Aamiin's."


"Aamiin, O God."


Everyone assures the prayers and hopes spoken by the orphanage mother. Including Aji and Cilla.


After a while later, Mami Rossa said goodbye and shook hands with the mother of the orphanage and the children of the home as well. Gilang, Aji and Cilla do the same thing as Mami Rossa. They all said goodbye and went back to the car to get home.

On the way home from the orphanage.


"Let's see the boy who fell earlier didn't cry. In fact, some of his friends laughed and also mocked him. Does that not hurt, Ma?"


The question from Aji was responded to by Cilla with an affectionate face. He was just about to answer but Aji asked again. "Isn't it hurt that child who was mocked? Why did his friend even taunt him and not help him?"


Cilla stroked Aji's hair a few times before answering her.


"The boy didn't feel pain when he fell, or hurt when he was being bullied by his friends, because he thought that it wasn't like what Aji saw. It was a form of attention from his friend but in another way. From the incident of falling, we can learn if not all the roads we go through are straight and smooth. Continuing to rub it is our test to be more patient in dealing with the situation that occurs. Don't be too concerned with everything that's useless and hinders what we're doing."


Gilang and Mami Rossa are amazed to hear all the answers given by Cilla to the questions of her son, Aji.


"Is that so Ma?" ask Aji to know.


"That's what's outside of us. There's a lot going on around us Aji." Cilla explained to her son.


Gilang nagged to understand what Cilla said to Aji. Likewise with Mami Rossa who was increasingly amazed by the son of her late friend.


"Aji should be too! Always excited and full of confidence when there are dreams and desires to be achieved," said Cilla reminded his son.


"Yes Ma" replied Aji short.


Now he smiled as he learned the lessons from the children of the orphanage he had just met earlier.


"Oh yes Cilla. Tomorrow we start to register with a psychiatrist. Mami's gonna get a good psychologist recommendation."


Mami Rossa told Cilla the plan. Gilang who heard from the front seat, glanced back by looking at the rearview mirror above.


"What did Mi do to a psychiatrist?" tanya Gilang wanted to know. She doesn't know if Mom Rossa did all these plans for Cilla. Though actually later also for him, Gilang, too.


"Make Cilla trauma healing. Don't you want Cilla to accept your proposal?"


She looked back with a face full of question marks. He was confused by his mother's answer.


"Easy-after. No need to be confused. Anyway, you just wait for the right time later."


Mami Rossa answered all Gilang's questions, although Gilang did not ask him at all.
