I'm waiting for Mom at the station
Chapter 3

"Dash? Dengerin, brother yes .. we must always pray that mother is fine and we can all regroup," persuaded Ridho to try to calm Ayu.

"But, Bang ... Ayu kangen the same, Mother," whined Ayu.

"It's the same, brother too. That's precisely what, we must be a smart school in order to catch up with Mother to the capital," said Ridho.

"Now, let's go home. It'll be late in the afternoon" Ridho asked.

Ridho carrying a fried basket along with an empty candle ice box, Ridho led Ayu to go home. Ayu seems reluctant to leave the station, but her brother pulls his hand to walk home.

In the middle of the road, Ridho and Ayu cross paths with a peddler of corn boiled around using a bicycle, Ridho bought two pieces of boiled corn for him and his sister, as their snacks on the way.

Suddenly the sky was cloudy, the wind was blowing fiercely, it seemed like it was going to rain soon. Ridho and Ayu quickened their pace. But only until half the journey, the rain fell rapidly. Ridho and Ayu ran to find shelter.

Finally, they arrive at the weekend market which opens once a week.

There was a simple stall, but there was a roof. Ridho and Ayu take shelter there, which is important not to get wet.

Ayu asks her brother to count the money given by the kind people he met at the station.

Ridho counts the money, Ayu.

"Alhamdulillah .. there are 27 thousand. Yu," said Ridho

"Alhamdulillah .." Ayu replied as she rubbed her palm against her face.

"Now Ayu's money is saved well, if Ayu wants to snack or Ayu runs out of books, Ayu can buy," said Ridho.

Ayu nodded in understanding.

Worried about the night on the road, Ridho invites Ayu to continue the journey after the rain subsides, only to drizzle again.

Ridho cut the banana leaves quite wide, using broken glass. Then, ask Ayu to take shelter under him, so that Ayu is not exposed to rain water.

Their tiny feet further and further, until they arrive at the house of Ida, Ridho intends to deposit his trading money

Bu Ida, usually give him ten thousand rupiah, but because today all sold out, then Bu Ida gave bonus money of five thousand rupiah.

Ridho and Ayu immediately went home.

Upon arrival, they are at home. The oldest Rama Abang, was waiting for them. Rama was worried about anything happening with his sister, until the Maghrib his new sisters came home

Seeing his brother's clothes wet from the rain, Rama immediately told his sisters to take a warm bath, which had been available on a firewood stove.

"Assalamualaikum ..." said Hans who just returned home.

"Waalaikum salam ..." replied Rama.

"You've just come home too, where did you end up?" rama asked Hans, gently.

"It was raining, Bang. So Hans waited for the rain to stop. Oya, Bang .. This is a side dish from Bu Lestari," Hans replied as he passed to the dinner table and put the jackfruit and sambal tempeh into the bowl.

"Abang also bought fried fish, Ayu's favorite. Now let's eat together," take Rama.

All the brothers gathered at a simple dining table, with potluck dishes. The important thing is to be full, that's their principle.

"Bang Rama, today Ridho dapet 15 thousand money," said Ridho when they gathered in the family room as well as doubles as a living room.

"I also got, 15 grand," Hans said.

"Abang itself, today it can be 20 thousand, but Abang bought 5 thousand side dishes, fifteen thousand more," replied Rama.

"My mountain, I give you 10 grand," replied Ridho.

"My tree take it, 10 grand," replied Hans.

"Abang has 15 thousand, that means we have 35 thousand, tomorrow morning Abang will go to the weekend market, to buy all the needs of our family," said Rama.

Like that next, they will seek sustenance, day by day. Allah is Almighty, and the orphans are given ample sustenance

Until one day, came the mothers of clothing sellers at the weekend market. The mother gave each of the two sets to Rama, Ridho, Hans, and also Ayu. The clothes are her remaining sales, but still the brand is still there

Because he wanted to renew his trade, he gave his old trade to the orphans.

The mothers purposely, gave it to them as a change of clothes.

There was a happy smile on the little lips of the orphans.

Then came their neighbors who had just finished their rice harvest. The fathers gave the orphans new rice, 25 kilos, Alhamdulillah.

According to the neighbors, their sustenance will not recede, even more if they make the orphans feel happiness.

Time passed, and there was not a word or a sign that his mother was coming home.

Rama, now in the upper middle eleven.

Ridho, now sitting in the ninth grade middle first.

Hans is now in the seventh-grade junior high.

And Ayu was already in the fifth grade of elementary school.

And, that means, five years already their mother left without news.

Rama, has been working already on a building shop, Alhamdulillah. The boss who owns the shop doesn't mind if Rama works after school.

Ridho, works as a parking attendant in a shopping mall.

Hans, working on a lesehan owned by Lestari ma'am who had also opened a shop in front of a shopping center, only the difference was now that Hans had been appointed a waitress, with a fixed daily salary.

Although, Ayu. After school Ayu prefers to sell fruit at the station. A type of watermelon, papaya, pineapple, melon, and various types of fruits that have been cut into pieces and put into plastic.

When all his brothers no longer expect the return of their mother. But Ayu, still faithful waiting for the return of the mother.

Ayu will be faithful in waiting at the station while peddling her wares. From the bottom of Ayu's heart, she was eager to meet her mother at this station. Even when his mother came home Ayu wanted to be the first to welcome his mother home.

But Ayu's hope, unanswered.

Until one day, Ayu saw. A mother got off the train. The mothers asked where SDN 01 was. It just so happens that the SDN asked the mothers was Ayu school

Ayu, tell me the direction of the road to SDN in question.

The mothers thanked him, and left Ayu. When the mothers stood by the roadside and were about to stop the angkot.

A motorbike at high speed, speeding and was about to hit the mothers.

Ayu who saw it, immediately pushed the mothers away. But finally, the bike actually hit Ayu.

"Astaghfirullah azim thing," said the mothers, and immediately embraced Ayu's blood-soaked body.
