Grace of Love
(Costume Party)

Nindi today came to work early, the lecturers were absent from attending and the lecture hours were less. Nindi came while everyone was taking an afternoon break. Today Edel missed work because Jason is still not healed.

“Eh Nin, you came over spit well?” Say hello to a friend.

“Iya Ma'am. Another little college hours.” Answer Nindi politely.

“Inget well friends, if work do not like to look for face. The healthy ones only.” Sindir an employee who had a less friendly attitude indeed, the others just smiled unkindly looking at Nindi.

“Do not in ladeni. Consider angina then only.” Of course not all evil, there are also those who care about Nindi like Mbal Lela, in contrast to Puji who from the beginning of the arrival of Nindi has put jealousy.

Edel indeed seemed very happy with the presence of Nindi, he was like a fresh breeze that Edel could polish to become a better person. The good of Edel is not denied by every employee. He cares a lot even though sometimes there are employees who take advantage of his kindness.

Confused about what to do, Nindi uses unused materials to make costumes. Of course, with the permission of the owner of the local office area, otherwise Nindi is afraid of being a problem. Nindi painstakingly sewed the material little by little into a cute hat, there were still many materials that seemed to be Nindi if.

Lela who also has no job pays attention to Nindi's work, she who works as a receptionist only knows the guest list and how to look for materials to shop by store.

“Nin, let me sew dong. I think it's exciting if you can sew yourself.” Curious.

“Bby Mbak, here Nindi ajarin.” Nindi is happy to share her knowledge.

“Awas not too close, later his face was taken also new tau think you Lela.” Praise still cornered Nindi.

“Don't be so Ji, we're both employees. Don't like to be suspicious.” Another friend tried to advise.

“This you guys, already know the proof is still do not want to hear me. Later you feel the consequences.” Praise is still cynical.

It turns out that the world of work is not as beautiful as Nindi imagined, there are those who do not like it even though Nindi tries to be good to everyone, there are still those who struggle with it. Nin spirit, the world does not end with the presence of the person who hates you Nin.

Nindi was relieved to be able to go home early. Nindi took the time to stop by the vegetable before returning home. It had been a long time since she had cooked, Hanna would have liked it if Nindi cooked chicken soup. Imagining the fresh taste had made Nindi swallow her saliva.

“Yeay..tante Nindi home.” Shouted Hanna from afar welcoming Nindi. There seems to be no Ivar, Hanna playing with Aisyah in Bu Surtini's yard.

“Let's go home Han. Ms. Sur, thank you very much Buk has taken care of Hanna.” Nindi gives the vegetables she bought to Surtini's mother who is sincerely willing to help Nindi take care of Hanna.

“No need to bother Nin. Buy vegetable moms all.” Though the mouth refuses the hand still accepts.

“Not bother Bu, Sorry well Nindi can not give you a decent.” Glad Ibu Surtini wants to accept the simple gift of Nindi.

Nindi took Hanna's hand home. Hanna's cheerful face made Nindi confused. What the hell is wrong.

“Hanna's face seems to be happy. Don't I know what's going on in Hanna's heart?” Trying to pry in a subtle way.

Hanna nodded steadily. “I could borrow Aisyah's bike, Damar also gave the cake earlier. Keep Kiki loving Hanna borrow her Barbie doll too.” It turned out that Hanna had not been borrowed.

“Oh, why are they so good to Hanna?” Hanna lowered her shoulders as an answer to her ignorance. It made Nindi think hard.

There is also a strange thing about all the surrounding residents, they become very friendly to Nindi. What exactly is going on. Thinking that he did not get an answer, Nindi chose to just ignore him.

“Let's eat chicken soup..” Shouted Nindi from the kitchen while walking towards the front room carrying a pot.

“I like chicken soup, Mamah very good chicken soup.” Talk innocently.

“This is no less delicious with Mamah cuisine. Let's eat.” Hanna nodded, smilingly displaying her neatly arranged white teeth.

“I also want to eat chicken soup.” Ivar's voice from the front door surprised Nindi, in contrast to Hanna. Hanna immediately rushed to hug Ivar who had just arrived.

“Uncle let's eat together.” They look very close. “Come fast.” Hanna pulled Ivar's hand.

“Indeed can same Aunt Nindi.” Hanna looked into Nindi's eyes looking for answers. Nindi smiled feeling threatened.

“Of course can be Uncle Ivar. I made a lot of soup.” Speak without looking at Ivar's face. Nindi still remembered Ivar's absurd words this morning.

“Hanna, who was home? Sorry well, Uncle overslept until this afternoon.” Ivar set off the alarm and for nothing, still he couldn't get up.

“I go home with Mr. Kadin.” Answer Hanna who is busy enjoying her favorite chicken soup. “Tante tasty, like made Mamah.” Nindi's heart was once again filled, she talked about her mother without tears. Hanna is very strong.

“Eat a lot of dear, later Aunty make again sometime.” Nindi so thought of his brother's accident case that there was an element of intentional. I hope that everything that the investigators concluded never happened. May the accident be completely pure without the intervention of people who do not like their family.

“Why?” Ivar saw the confusion on Nindi's face.

“Iya, rest. After eating me and Hanna will be out looking for a cure. What do you feel?” Ivar checked Nindi's forehead. Hanna's face is also tense.

“I'm just dizzy.” Hanna looked sadly at Nindi's face.

“Come on.” Hanna nodded, her eyes not staring at her soup bowl. His attention was on the room that opened the door.

“Do Aunty want me to accompany?” Talk to Ivar.

“Why?”

“No, I think if you are sick should be accompanied.” The logic of a child who if sick is always accompanied by adults.

“Why would Hanna accompany Auntie? Is there anything Hanna fears?” Ivar knows Hanna is worried.

“I don't want to be left again. Who am I to be with?” Eyes glazed. Ivar did not continue.

“Uncle earlier saw there was a granny hair seller in front of the alley. How about we buy it while looking for a cure for Aunt Nindi. Don't let him get sick.” Ivar made Hanna's mood cheerful again.

“Mmm….Come!” Hanna's shout imitated Ivar's speech style.

“Wait a minute, Uncle said first same Aunt we will come out for a while.” Nindi hid her face under the pillow. Sure enough, he wasn't sick, just sad.

“Nindi.” Ivar rubbed Nindi's hair gently. “Just evaporate all your grief, don't hold it.” Sounds slow though. “I'll take Hanna out, one hour. When we get back you should be done.” Ivar wanted to kiss Nindi's head but was crushed. I'm a nobody…..!!!!

Ivar closed the door so Nindi's sobs wouldn't be heard. He must have been very hit, seeing Nindi's face must have been so painful. Ivar restrained himself in order to refrain from getting carried away by emotions. There is a little girl he needs to take care of his feelings.

“Come, we buy everything Hanna wants.”

Yeayy….

Ivar wears a jacket and hat to keep Hanna safe. He was like a father to Hanna, a lucky little girl with all the tempests she had to go through with great pain. His smile healed the wounds.

It was a busy morning with everything that happened. Hanna's costume party today, Nindi has made a beautiful dress with the remnants of materials she uses from the boutique where she works. The cute hat had also adorned his head. Nindi slightly polished Hanna's face like the king's daughter. Hanna's funny face with soft makeup like a child.

“Perfect, let's go.” Nindi has hired a neighbor bajaj today, so do not be complicated and the dress is not damaged on the way.

There were three men Nindi knew wearing full police uniforms walking into her home. Hanna's smile puffed up perfectly seeing who was coming.

“Pamannnnn!!!!” Ivar lifts Hanna's body high. There is Abrar and Ezra as well as Ivar's friends so that he is not ashamed of himself alone using a police uniform.

“What do you guys do Gentlemen?” Nindi laughed at the silly behavior of the three.

“We're on duty off and this guy asked us to attend a Hanna.” costume party Looking at Hanna's face, Abrar and Ezra were crushed. They won't be able to resist, maybe that's what Ivar feels.

All eyes were on Hanna and Nindi who were accompanied by three handsome men with athletic bodies. Smiles filled the party room that was already crowded participants. Hanna proudly introduced her Uncle-Uncle and Tantenya to her friends. His sidekicks, Lula, Maura and Glenn were already standing with friendly smiles.

“Hanna, you said you don't have Mamah and Papah. Who are they?” Glenn's sharp eyes looked at the three men who were conversing.

“They're My Uncle-Uncle and Aunt Nindi.” A familiar name, of course.

“Ohhhh...” Answer all three compact.

“Your body is very beautiful.” Praise Maura.

“Tante Nindi says he made it with all his heart.” Hanna whirled around posing as Nindi had taught her.

The three clapped, proud of her best friend who came up with the best dress nothing beats.

Acarapun walk quite lively, I don't know what possessed the three men. They walked down the stage to accompany Hanna to appear confident. The stage so full of the presence of the three that makes all the participants of the costume party feel entertained.

Hanna got the best costume title, not just that. Hanna also won as the best participant on the stage. Ivar proudly led Hanna up the stage with a triumphant smile. Of course, Ivar's two best friends also followed behind Ivar with big smiles.

Having not seen Hanna's crisp laughter for a long time like this, it felt like a panacea to Nindi's recently weak heart. Hanna must grow full of love, just like Cakra took care of her first. Nindi will never give up making Hanna a happy girl.
