The next day Eric went to Susi's boarding house but his room was padlocked. "Where is he, yet he is not healed?" he murmured in the heart.
"Who's looking, Den?" ask the hostess who came to him.
"Find Susi but it looks like she's out because her room is locked from the outside" Eric replies.
"Where did you know Susi?" pula.
"Yesterday afternoon he was picked up by his parents" said the hostess.
"Ohhh, thanks for the information Mom, excuse me!" Eric continued on his way. He was going to his parents' house and made it clear about their plans to pick up Anna on Saturday.
The state of the house was very quiet when Eric arrived there and not long after his father arrived. He had just come home from school to take his wife.
"It's been a while, son?"
"Just arrived,"
Eric did not go directly into the house when invited by his father because he was so amazed by the vegetable garden that was beside the house. Not too broad but a beautiful sight with fresh looking vegetable plants. On the other beds there are lombok plants and tomatoes that have also been fruitful and some have even begun to mature.
Seeing his son still relaxing outside, Mr. Hendrik came over.
"What do you think of Dad's garden?"
"It's amazing and it's worth an example of that,"
Mr. Hendrik laughed at the praise of his son. The two also went around strolling the beds and saw Mr. Hendrik bent down occasionally to pluck the weeds that grow on the sidelines of the plant.
Eric admits that his father has turned into a diligent and considerate person to the family after experiencing a very fatal problem.
The flowers in the garden and on the terrace are also neatly arranged so as to provide freshness and coolness. All this reminds Eric of the atmosphere of his home when Anna has not left. Anna is also a lover of ornamental plants and part of her time is spent taking care of the plants after all the homework has been completed.
After being satisfied around to pamper the eyes with a variety of fresh plants, Mr. Hendrik and Eric sat on the terrace.
"What about our plan to get Anna?"
"Well, we're leaving Saturday morning and we can't be delayed anymore,"
"Okay, ready!"
Long enough the two talked about many things until it did not feel it was time for Mr. Hendrik to pick up his wife.
"What if I'm the one who picked up mom" Eric bargained.
"By, here's the car keys!" sahut pak Hendrik while handing the car keys to Eric.
Arriving at school, where his mother taught him, he immediately turned his vehicle because his mother was standing waiting at the school gate.
Elma's mother is shocked to see Eric when he opens the car door.
"Shocked?" Eric chuckles.
"Why did you pick up mom? Where's dad going?" ask Elma's mother.
"I happened to stop by the house so it's not wrong if you ever pick up Mom?"
"Well, no, I'm happy, you know!"
"Which iron, Mom?"
"Usually he always went home with Angga, the neighbor's son who had the bike,"
"Ohh, so we're off right away, nih!"
"Yes,"
"This is the money, Ma'am!" elma's mother gave her a piece of red money and quickly got into the car.
"Mom, Mom, here's the change!" exclaim fried seller.
"No need, just for me" said Elma's mother with a smile
"Thank you, Mom!"
"Together,"
The car moves after Elma's mother closes the window. In his heart Eric felt the joy of seeing his mother who had started to care about others. Very different from its former nature, indifferent to the circumstances around and always assume he is the most correct.
Mr. Hendrik welcomed their arrival with a happy smile.
"Tumben Brother Eric picked up Mom," said Erika who just arrived home and saw her brother get out of the car.
"Yes, again want to have your own car as well, so first learn to drive a car so that later if the car is already there, Brother is no doubt to drive everywhere,"
"Buy dong, Kirain Brother already has a lot of money!"
"Where do you know that you have a lot of money
"According to the theory I've learned, people who do business have a lot of money when compared to unemployment,"
Everyone in the room laughed at the joke that Erika had made. Of course unemployment will lose because it does not work.
"There are you, son," said Mr. Hendrik who still laughed because he felt funny about his son's words.
Erika passed while humming a little. He looks very happy. His closeness with Angga makes his heart always flowery.
Angga is the only child of Mr. Gideon and Arlin's mother. They have almost a year become citizens in this city after moving duties from the city of Jakarta. His father worked at a private BANK and his mother worked at a tax office. They are so busy that they rarely meet the family of Mr. Hendrik as his neighbor.
Erika one class with Angga but all this time the two are not familiar because Angga is very quiet until one day Angga ventured to come to Erika's house to borrow about PR because he had unpacked all the booksthe book but the book where the record was not found. Most likely the book is staying in school, while tomorrow the PR will be checked.
Since then the two began to make friends and Angga offered to always leave together to school, as well as when returning home.
They also often do assignments from school together and now Angga not only confine themselves in the room after school because they already have friends.
Most likely he became a quiet child because his parents were very busy and would usually arrive home at night after Angga had fallen asleep.
During this time Erika was reluctant to greet Angga because the person was very closed. Even when he was around he was very irritable to talk and always aloof but after familiar with Erika little by little he began to change.
During the break, Erika always took her to the cafeteria so that the other classmates had also been chatting with her.
"It turns out the handsome Angga is also well, if smiling," a classmate who was somewhat chatty bothered him at that time when they were enjoying fried food in the school cafeteria.
At first Angga was embarrassed but Erika always gave him spirit eventually over time he was used to hearing the taunts of his friends who were humorous.
After changing her uniform, Erika came to join the dining table because everyone was sitting there waiting for her to come to lunch together.
"Something seems to be in love!" tease Eric with a smile.
"Who is in love?" elma's mother asked with her eyes blinked sideways at Eric.
Actually, Elma's mother also noticed her daughter's behavior lately and she can guess that her daughter is in love.
"Oh, well, I also want to know, who the hell is in love other than Dad who is in love with Mom at all times" said Mr. Hendrik while chuckling.
"Let's say, Dek!" tease Eric again made Erika's face meet red.
"What the hell!" sahut then filled his plate with rice and side dishes and vegetables while smiling.
The familiar atmosphere made their hearts happy.
