Prayer of the Former
42

Two small arms tightly locked Sari's waist.

It's like he's not gonna let go again a second time.

Sari tried to gently scatter.

"Sifa??"

"Hmm, don't go mah" she whispered slowly.

Sari swallowed her saliva violently.

"Please, to listen first." Pinta Sari softly.

Sifa finally let go with the weight.

Sari stared inside Sifa's slightly thin face.

"Sifa.. Can you tell me the truth??" pinta Sari with a look inside Sifa's bead eyes.

Sifa was silent a thousand words.

"Tante, not your mama..."

Degs..Sifa's face was transfixed, as if big news was resuscitating her.

"You already know, that all this time aunty only plays the figure of a mother for you.."

Sari saw clearly if Sifa's face was disappointed.

"You've grown up baby, you have to understand.not always lies are good.and even though aunt is not your mama, we can still continue to be good friends.."

Sifa is hard to accept. But Sari tries to encourage Sifa by hugging her affectionately.

"Honey aunt is always there for you.gallery aunt will also always be open for you.."

Sifa was silent, there was a sense that she could not explain in the corner of her heart. Her tears are spilling.

Aldi who was in the room also felt tightness in his chest when he saw the princess was really injured.

"You are smart, you are also a good child.Aunte believes one day you will definitely have a mother who will be very sincere in loving you.."

"Why not aunty??"

Degs.. Sari was stunned when she heard Sifa's question.

Aldi was also stunned to hear the unexpected child.

"Hmmm.." Sari tried to rack her brain.

But Aldi came closer to the princess.

"Sifa.. Sari's aunt has been very good with you, so please understand.." pinta the Papa gently. He wiped away the princess' tears.

Sari heard Aldi's wise words.

Then unexpectedly, he grabbed Sifa from Sifa's embrace.

Sari releases Sifa's body to the Regent. He tightly hugged the body of his daughter who was involved excitedly.

"You, you can go.." Aldi's pinta was cold.

Sari got up from Sifa's bed, there was a sense of tightness that she could not explain. There was guilt in the little girl, and there was discomfort with the Regent's cold-looking gaze.

However, Sari had already thought, if this was the best.

"Sorry.." said Sari slowly.

Aldi threw away his face by pecking at the princess's head. Aldi's sympathy gaze instantly disappeared.

"Rio will take care of you and all the losses I will pay.."

Degs.. Sari bowed biasedly, then passed away leaving the VIP room.

Aldi turned his back on Sari. But Sifa could see if the figure she wanted was leaving with tears spilling over. He held his embrace on the Papa's shoulder.

Aldi hugged the princess sadly. What a sufferer of the princess so heavy at her young age.

"I'm sorry dear Papa" said Aldi.

***

Time passed by more than 1 week.

Now the residence of the house of Dinas Aldi also moved to the place of the Regent's Office.

And the most felt was, there was no longer the figure of the grandmother there.

That morning, Aldi went to the office. He took the time to greet the princess.

"Bagy first??"

"For Papa's sake" replied Sifa, who was seen at the dinner table waiting for the aunt to put jam on her bread.

Aldi was seen looking at the princess's calm face.

"Have you been in tutoring?"

"Yes pah.."

Soon the aunt put the bread she had given her little master chocolate jam.

"Thank you aunt" said Sifa politely.

Aldi was knitted when he saw Sifa's polite speech.

Little smiling aunt.

Before long, Sifa devoured his bread.

Aldi enjoyed Sifa's calm face. Finally he could be grateful if now Sifa really understood, after a painful explanation from her imaginary mama.

Before long Sifa put her half new bread. Then find the aunt.

"Bib??" call gently.

Aldi looked at Sifa.

"Bibik, I'm sorry. Can you please bibik make more chocolate jam bread?? Sifa would like to take it to the tutoring place.."

"Thank you bibik, sorry Sifa so repotin" said Sifa politely.

Aldi was stunned to not believe the words of Sifa who was really polite. He could clearly remember if Sifa had never been so polite.

Sifa also went back to devouring his bread until it ran out, not forgetting he also finished chocolate milk without fussing.

"Papa??"

"Hm, is it baby???" aldi answered from his attitude.

"Papa, may Sifa not ask permission.."

"Yin??"

"Yes, Sifa wants to take her friends home.."

"Ooh, baby, it's up to Sifa.."

Sifa smiled brightly then went down and quickly grabbed the Papa's arm and pulled him to let Aldi's body down slightly.

Cup...Sifa gave Papa a kiss of love. Aldi was shocked again.

"Thank you Papa, good luck." said Sifa.

Aldi was really surprised by Sifa's spontaneous action.

"Yes dear, you also yaa. studious study" Aldi replied by dropping a kiss of affection on the princess' forehead.

The momentary hug slipped.

"Bibik, Sifa take the bag first yes, then the bread will take it out.. Sifa wait in the car.."

"Ah, yes non" said the aunt who is still doing the task of making bread orders of the master.

Sifa also passed away.

Aldi is still staring.

"Big??"

"Yes sir.."

"Since when was sifa like that??"

Bibik.

"I mean sir?"

"Sifa was never that calm. and. and she said good-bye to me, that's .."

"Mbak Sari taught me, sir.."

Degs.. Aldi riveted.

"Sari??"

"Yes, sir. mbak Sari that.."

Aldi was speechless by imagining the face of the woman who always brought happiness to Sifa.

"Many good things are taught by Mbak Sari to non Sifa, sir..."

Aldi swallowed his saliva.

***

While in his car. Aldi's mind was imagined to be the figure of Sari.

Women who are completely different, there may be many women who pursue the position of Regent's wife. But not with Sari.

As the speed of his service car headed to one place, he unexpectedly passed the road where the Sari gallery shop.

At first glance he can still see if the little brio car is parked there.

"Rio??"

"Yes sir??"

"How much is the compensation cost, Sari???"

Rio heard in surprise.

"What cost sir???"

Aldi's forehead wrinkled.

"The cost that Sari asked to pay compensation because the car keys I had thrown away." explained Aldi recalling that time.

Rio was increasingly confused by the explanation of the superior.

"It looks like there's no sir"

"Huh??"

"Yes, Sari didn't say anything to me.."

Degs.. Aldi.

"He didn't ask for anything??"

"No sir." answered Rio confidently.

"Even that night when I offered to deliver, Mbak Sari refused.."

Aldi is getting confused.

"Sari.." whispered slowly.

"Sir, your morning schedule is going to Xxx..."

"Hm.."

"The ticket and the inn are ready.."

"Alright." replied Aldi sighing. His job has been done.
