The woman in the heart of the adjutant 

Chapter 3

"Mom, tomorrow you're home again, right?" ask Acha to grandma.

"God's Word is coming home." Grandma smiled and embraced Acha and they entered the house. "Acha pray, you are always healthy, yes!"

"Sure, Grandma. Every Acha salat, Acha pray mamak. Acha also pray for the father to come home too," said Acha without burden, assuming all is well.

In fact, until Acha began to go to school, Sartika also did not come home. He always sent money to his grandmother by hitching a ride to the bank account belonging to the mother of the kades.

Sartika only said that she had sent some money to grandma. Never once did Sartika ask about his daughter–Raisa Nur Aziza.

Kades' mother always lied to Acha. He always says that Sartika says that he misses Acha. Hearing that speech alone, Acha leaped in excitement. Although Sartika is so but, he did not abandon his son and mother. Acha is among the children who are well-off in the village thanks to the money Sartika sends every month. 

Five years after Grandpa died, Grandma followed. Acha herself. At that time Sartika returned home to see her grandmother for the last time. Acha is entering puberty. Acha was already in the sixth grade of elementary school. 

"Sir," call Acha a little hesitant.

Indeed, there is no closeness between sarika and Acha. The bigger it is, the more Acha feels that her mother doesn't really care about her.

"Hmmm," murmured Sartika without turning his head.

"****** ***** Acha, there's blood." Acha said with a slight whisper and fear.

Sartika turned to Acha, looking at her son from head to toe. Her son has now grown into ABG.

"Didn't grandma ever teach you about the moon?" ask Sartika.

Acha shaking. "Acha there studied in school when religious lessons, not yet baligh with already puberty. Marked by the coming of the moon. But …."

"But what?" ketus Sartika's.

"Acha don't know what the moon is like" Acha replied in a soft voice.

"Yes, like you're going through now. You got any pads?"

Acha shook her head again. A little upset, Sartika gets up and tells Acha that she is going to the stall, buying her pads for Acha. 

About fifteen minutes Sartika returned with a large packing pad and some snacks. 

"This is Mamak teaching him how to cook!" Acha trailing behind Sartika. They went to Sartika's room which had been occupied by Acha.

After Acha cleaned her clothes in the bathroom, Sartika called Acha and gave her the snacks she had bought earlier. 

Sartika fell asleep in front of the television while Acha was cooking for their dinner. Acha was used to cooking from childhood because she had to provide food for grandmother to eat after coming home from the field.

"Mom, wake. Eat first, yuk. The food is done." Acha patted softly Sartika's hand.

"You cook?" sartika asked in astonishment as she rubbed her eyes.

During the meal Sartika stole a glance at Acha. Acha's attitude looks more mature than her age. Seen when Sartika is confused, must remain in the village to keep Acha what to return to work in the city.

"Acha dare, really, Mak, stay alone. Now Acha sixth grade SD. If you move to the city, gig, Mak …."

"Whose city are you going to go to?" ketus Sartika's.

Hearing Sartika's words, Acha bowed and continued to eat. Look Sartika is all wrong, there is guilt on the white girl. I don't know whose skin he imitated, which is clear Sartika's skin is a little dark.

Sartika finally left for the city, he entrusted Acha to the mother of the kades. Later after Acha finished elementary school, Sartika will pick him up and send him to school in the city. True said Acha, if you have to move now, really bear because only five months left he will finish SD. After all, which school would accept.

After Sartika departed, Acha really felt alone. No more grandmother comforting him when he was insulted by his friends. 

"Basan an illegitimate child." 

The sentence was still ringing in Acha's ear when the daughter of the Kades mother snapped Acha. At that time the first child of the mother of kades asked Acha to take care of her one-year-old son. At that time Acha was also washing dishes. Without Acha knowing. The baby fell out of bed.

Her crying shocked Acha. Acha leaves a pile of dishes and runs to the source of the sound. For fear of anything happening, Acha told the mother of the baby. It turns out that Acha was mocked, with all the dirty words. 

At that time Acha tears were so flowing. Withstand tightness in the chest. I want to feel like I ran away from that house. However, he did not know where to go because the mother of kades and the mother of the teacher were good to him.

"Who is your son in the village, Sar!" ask Fenita's mother at her residence.

"Posted with Mama Kades, Buk."

"Why don't you bring it here, stay with you?" Fenita's mother asked. 

"I'm afraid of my mother and father" replied Sartika politely. "He's also now sixth grade Elementary, Buk. No school can accept." Sartika tried to explain.

Fenita's mother said after Acha finished her elementary school, Sartika had to bring Acha to live with her in kota– at the house of Mr. Malvyn.

Sartika nodded and said many thanks for the kindness so far given the family where he worked. Starting from the cost of treating grandparents to grandparents. Now the Acha school fees that they would bear if Acha was brought to live with them.

Mr. Malvyn is famous for his business. He had branches everywhere, almost once a month, Mr. Malvyn and Ms. Fenita went out of town to visit their branches.

As should be completely protected, this family has several aides who have their respective duties. Mr. Malvyn, Ms. Fenita and even Ms. Adeline have one bodyguard.

It's just that, Sartika does not know for sure what field of company he develops. 

Adeline who is Sartika pasih from childhood is a spoiled child. He can't do anything by himself. Always ask for help from Sartika. Let's not let him be good at cooking like Acha. Putting the dishes into the kitchen seemed reluctant.

Everything Adeline wanted was followed by Mr. Malvyn. Though Mother Fenita has reminded, do not spoil the child later the magnitude of her visit. However, it was always denied by Malvyn's mother.

Under the pretext of saying that parents work for the sake of children, therefore, Adeline is so spoiled by both parents.

Maybe Adeline never felt the heat when she came home from school.

Departing and leaving school, the private driver is ready to bring Adeline and her bodyguard who never stayed.
