The clock was at 4pm, and Ms. Erna was home from work.
"Assalamu'alaikum Madam." Greetings from Tutik.
"Wa'alaikumussalam. Where's Arjuna?" ask Erna ma'am.
"Arjuna just came out ma'am. Um, same with her." replied Tutik hesitated.
"Omm? Who is bi? Bi, don't trust people easily. Arjuna did not have any relatives. Later if it turns out he's a bad guy how about bi? if Arjuna was kidnapped how was bi?" Ms. Erna was very happy with the news delivered by Tutik.
"Ma sorry madam. But, I'm sure, they're not the bad guys madam. They are Arjuna's family. The man's face looks a lot like Norma's mom, ma'am. He said he was Bladder's sister, Ms. Norma. But indeed a few years ago, her sister Norma was studying at the boarding school and continued to study in Egypt, madam. So that he had not been able to visit Norma again, after marrying Norma. And later when the madam comes home, they'll be back with Arjuna, madam." said Ms. Tutik.
Ms. Erna seemed to think. She recalled Norma's words when she accompanied Norma at her home after her husband's death. Norma did tell me that she had a biological older brother, who at the time of her husband's departure, her brother's contact was inactive. Until the time she was going to give birth, her brother's contact was not active either.
Before long, while Erna was still busy with her thoughts, suddenly the sound of the door being knocked.
"Assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumussalam." answered Ms. Erna and Ms. Tutik together.
"It looks like they're mistresses" Tutik said.
"Please open the door ya bi" said Ms. Erna.
"Good ma'am."
After the door was opened, sure enough, Arjuna came along with Ilyas sir and Ulfa ma'am.
"Mother.." said Arjuna, scattering towards Erna and kissing the back of her hand.
"Arjuna, where are you from?" asked Erna by aligning her face with Arjuna.
"Arjuna was invited to walk the same ma'am Ilyas and aunt Ulfa. Arjuna also bought the same toy clothes" said Arjuna plain while telling a toy car-mobilan he had just bought with Ilyas and Ulfa.
"Owh, have you spoken before not yet the same?" ask Erna ma'am.
"Already mom. If you don't believe me, you ask them." replied Arjuna innocently.
"Yes, I believe. Yes, let's sit down first." said Ms. Erna to Arjuna, because Mr. Ilyas and Ms. Ulfa had already sat down because they were welcome by the Tutik, before the Tutik to the kitchen.
"Sorry mom, we had invited Arjuna to go for a walk first, without permission from Erna. Because we deliberately invite Arjuna to fill the time, while waiting for the return of Ms. Erna from duty" said Ilyas.
"Oh yes sir. Tutik mom also told me. But, I was worried sir, I lira father and mother there is an evil intention with Arjuna, so that mom Tutik also tell me who really father and mother is" said Ms Erna.
"Yes sir. It's." Already."
"Did you introduce me, I'm Ilyas, and this is my wife Ulfa" Ilyas said.
"As Tutik ma'am has told me, I came here initially just to see my sister, Norma and her little family. Because, since Ijab Qobul, I have not been preaching to each other for a long time. Finally, when I was on vacation from the cottage, we reported via SMS, but, later, I entered the boarding school. Which, in the boarding house, we are prohibited from carrying HP. So that my HP is not activated, until finally I was sent to study in Cairo Egypt. After returning from Egypt, I was betrothed and married to the daughter of the owner of the boarding house. And thank God, my intention to visit my sister was granted. I can visit here, however, Qodarullah, it turns out that I have not been able to meet my sister or sister-in-law..." Ilyas told me so long that he could not bear to tell me that his sister and sister-in-law were gone.
"But, I am still grateful, I am still given the opportunity to meet their baby, Arjuna" said Ilyas who was already covered in tears.
"Sorry, ma'am, please drink" said Bu Tutik presenting a cup of tea at the guest table.
"Thank you ma'am." replied Ulfa.
"Yes sir. Alhamdulillahot. So, actually, this Arjuna still has relatives huh pan?" ask Erna ma'am.
"Yes ma'am."
"Ehm, sorry ma'am. Since Arjuna is my nephew, may I take over Arjuna ma'am's upbringing?" ask Ilyas carefully.
With smile.
"If indeed the father is really the older brother of Norma's mother, it is the father who is more entitled to Arjuna sir. We're just intermediaries to help raise her as long as she hasn't been around to babysit" Ms Erna said.
"So, can I take Arjuna to come with me mom?" tanya Ilyas sparkles.
"Sure sir." replied Ms. Erna with a sincere smile.
"Arjuna, are you going to join Om Ilyas and aunt Ulfa to stay in the boarding school?" ask Ilyas to make sure the child is concerned.
"So om. Arjuna followed om ya live in pesantren" said Arjuna jubilant.
"okay"
Since then, Arjuna was officially taken care of by Mr. Ilyas and Mr. Ulfa. Many messages were conveyed by Erna and Tutik to Arjuna. All Arjuna's belongings have been packed to be taken to the boarding school.
"Be careful, son" said Ms. Erna amid sobs
"Good ma'am." answered Arjuna politely.
"Later if there is free time, Arjuna we will bring here again to visit Ms. Erna and bu dot.
