Prayer of the Former
36

Her night.

Aldi came home with a tired face, a long meeting made his whole body want to rest immediately. The steps are heavy towards the main room.

But unexpectedly Mama came to the son with a smile.

"Have you come home?? have you eaten?? want me to heat something for you?" greet the mother gently.

Aldi nodded tired.

"No buk, thank you.. Aldi has eaten this just want to rest" replied the child by continuing to step towards his room.

But suddenly his steps stopped right in Sifa's room which he had passed first.

I looked on with dislike.

"Aldi. I want to ask.."

Aldi was about to touch the handle of Sifa's room door was restrained. Then turned to look at her mother.

"What, he ate a lot today? what about the medicine??" ask Aldi.

"Obviously, he drinks on time and is not fussy." replied the mother reluctantly.

Aldi breathes a sigh of relief.

"Last day a woman came here.."

Aldi hearing.

"Who is he?? Is he teacher les Sifa??" ask Mom to guess.

"No..."

Mom's surprised.

"Then who?? said Sifa's friend?? does that make sense??"

"It's open, let Sifa be happy." said Aldi to pass away.

"Aldi, mother does not like. " said the mother firmly so stop Aldi's steps.

"Is she the woman who was in the hospital?? auntie Dwi and Liana have told me, if there is an impolite woman who guards Sifa while in the hospital...is she really the one??" ask mommy riled.

Aldi heard the mother's question with a feeling of carelessness.

"Mother??"

Aldi turned around and looked at his mother.

"If it's true, I've found a woman who deserves to accompany you. She's smart and also highly educated.."

"MOM!!!" hardik Aldi high pitched.

I gasped in shock at the high tone of the child.

"Please..to stop matching Aldi with the woman of choice mother.Today all Aldi think only Sifa.Sifa happiness is the main thing for Aldi." said Aldi firmly.

Mother was fixated, she felt unacceptable with the words of the child.

Silent, Aldi realized that he had gone too far with rebuking the mother.

"Sorry, buk.. Aldi wants to rest" Aldi said as he passed away.

Mother is still fixated and does not believe the words of the child.

"Well, you only think of Sifa's happiness.then the mother will still think of your happiness, because if you think of Sifa, then Sifa only needs the figure of the mother-in-law.. I'll find a suitable mother-in-law to be your wife" said the mother by sticking to her stance.

***

In his main room. Aldi who just finished bathing can finally rest comfortably on a soft mattress.

By grabbing a pillow as a bedmate, he tried to close both eyes.

.

But for a moment he remembered something.

The face of Sari, the friend of Sifa flashed through his mind. Then without a second thought he grabbed the phone and looked at the clock on the flat screen.

"Hour 1.." muttered Aldi whispering.

His hand opened one of Wa's messaging apps. Then look for a name "Sari Sartika".

When the name in search met, Aldi suddenly felt worried. He thought a little long when the name was on the screen.

But in the end he typed something on the message screen.

"Sari. sorry if I interrupted your break, I. just wanted to say my gratitude, because you have been kind to Sifa. once again, thank you, Sari.." aldi wrote on the message, then he sent on the name SariSartika.

Messages were sent successfully. Along with Aldi's breath of relief. Then he put his phone on the bed just like that and he fell asleep.
