Rusty Widow

Rusty Widow
06.TRAIN STATION


*Six months later*


As usual, Alika did her activities managing her laundry without the help of an assistant. Only ema helps alika run her business because the result is also for the needs of eating together. Alika who is very clever in terms of ironing clothes only one day has he clean everything up until the clothes belonging to 5 customers are ready all if anyone takes it tomorrow. Laundry alika is so selling that it does not feel the age of lala alika's daughter is 2 years old and can already walk. Lala always makes alika bother if alika is ironing her clothes and finally alika bought an iron toy so that her child plays and creates ironing her own clothes so as not to interfere with alika activities.


But when all the house was asleep arrived the phone alika sound that makes the time to sleep alika so disturbed. Alika always put her phone under her pillow with a slight vibrating tone to hear if there is an important phone to her.


"Trieg! The trying! Triings!"


Alika's phone rang from an unknown number. I don't know who called alika at midnight at 1 am. Alika wakes up because her phone keeps ringing and immediately picks her up afraid her son wakes up because of the noise.


"Yes Hello..!" Reply alika raised her phone without knowing who called her and put her phone on her ear with her eyes closed.


"Alika Hallo! It's me Yuda!" Yuda said across the phone.


"Eh! Oh, Allah, Yea?" Sahut alika immediately rose from her sleep and immediately closed her mouth.


"*Alika! I'm done working on the ship! I'm again in ba*n-da-ra International Incheon now! I will be in Jakarta tomorrow morning! I'll let you know when it gets to town x! From Jakarta I took the train! I'll let you know when I get there!" Yuda's words across his phone made Alika gape in surprise.


Alika was silent not answering Yuda's words. Alika thought about the many questions in her brain not so much listening to Yuda's words. "Alika! Alikaawah! Are you still there?" Say Yuda again.


"Well, how are you?" Sahut alika who just realized himself is still on the phone with Yuda.


"I'll let you know when I get there! I'm from Jakarta by train! Wait for me at the station?" Yuda said half-run because the plane was about to take off.


"Yes, I'm waiting!" Sahut alika was still sitting in his bed wailing in panic.


"Yes, I closed the phone! The plane is going!" Said Yuda who had occupied his chair.


"Yes, be careful!" Answer alika briefly.


The phone disconnected because Yuda had already disconnected his phone connection first. Alika put her phone back next to her pillow and Alika tried to go back to sleep because the clock had shown 2 in the morning. Alika closed her eyes but her mind where to imagine if she would meet with juda. Five minutes ten minutes to thirty minutes alika can not also sleep. Alika thought of many questions in her brain and heart. Alika is restless because now she is getting fatter because of breastfeeding and not taking care of her skin because she is busy every day taking care of her child without anyone's help. And alika is also busy managing her laundry business which makes her not think about appearance.


"That is..! Why can't you sleep!" Murmured alika was upset that her thoughts continued to drift somewhere. "If you come home I have to look beautiful dong! If I could just get another item!" Muttering alika again could not imagine the reaction of the juda saw him increasingly unkempt appearance.


After struggling with his own mind and heart, Alika finally fell asleep by herself after hearing the dawn prayer. Alika woke up when she saw that the sky had shown her very bright sun. Alika immediately rose from her sleep because she did not see Lala beside her. Alika panicked instead of playing directly ran to open the door of her room and looked for her son to come and screamed to call her.


"What's alika!" She asked after turning to see Alika.


"I thought my son had brought it! Same with mama!" Said alika was relieved to see lala carried by ema in the yard.


"You're sleeping like a fainted man! Lala was crying hysterically because you didn't wake up.. So mom opened your door and you were still sleeping! So yah mama take your son out to let him!" Ema without feeling guilty.


"Yuda telfon at 1 o'clock malem mah! He said he was on his way home! I was told to pick him up tonight at the station! I was really surprised because of my situation that I like this he has come home! It should be later if I've treated it so good to see!" Said alika pursed her lips invite ema chat in the yard while inviting her grandson who is still carried by ema.


"In fact you should be pleased with your situation like this, right you can see he is sincere with you or not? If he's sincere he certainly doesn't care in you want the cake item, want fat cake, want me to cake! He's going to bodo!" Sahut ema to make alika a little calm.


"Yeah alika tau mah! Alika is a little prettier than that in her eyes! Not a gini!" Alika felt insecure.


"Since when have you been dizzy thinking about alika's appearance? When many people want to be your girlfriend, you are not this sweet! Even you are ordinary with your appearance like this?" Said ema was astonished by alika's attitude. "Ah ah don't get dizzy! If he is a match you will certainly be one no matter you are ugly or item!" Say again ema then leave alika just go inside.


But the steps stopped and stepped back towards Alika. "Take a shower with your child already noon!" Said ema while handing lala to alika and made alika surprised and almost fell to catch lala.


"H mommy! Slow down dong! Lala almost fell!" Upset alika saw the back of ema who left alika go inside. "Isa.. Parents if invited to talk about this problem just say Wewewee.. Wewewee..!" Muttering alika by advancing her lips mimicked the baffled ema.


Alika stepped in with her child and bathed her child with a song that as usual alika sang for her child. Alika has a very melodious voice especially if singing Indian songs her voice is almost like Indian singer Shreya Ghaushal. After bathing his son alika doing his activities as usual ironing laundry clothes that have dried after a night of drying in the backyard.


It doesn't feel like the day has changed tonight. Alika immediately rushed ready to pick up the juda at the station using a rickshaw. Alika set out alone accompanied by her son who was always in her sling. Alika trembled and was afraid if the yuda was disappointed to see the current appearance of alika. Although alika uses levis pants and t-shirts as well as her instant hijab as usual but does not make alika PD with her current state. Not long ago alika has now arrived at the station and waited for the young man in the waiting room. Alika saw her phone many times but still there was no call from Yuda. Alika is worried that Judah has arrived and returned to her house first without being picked up by Alika. Alika finally smiled widely when she saw the man who had just stepped down from inside the carriage and directly approached her.


"Yuda's mom, right?" Ask alika and be immediately taken in by yuda.


"Yeah..! Are you alone?" Ask Yuda who only carries 1 suitcase.


"Yes I'm alone here riding a rickshaw!" Sahut alika with his groggy tone. "You want to go home or stop by my house?" Ask alika basa basa.


"We'll find a haircut first! Then we go to the counter!" Said Yuda wanted to improve his appearance because of his long hair that was random scramble.
