"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi. Yes, Abi—"
As usual, the Abi asked his youngest daughter to go home not too late, because usually after the rain will be quiet street atmosphere. Wafa told Abinya not to worry too much about him. Joking with Abinya from behind the window, Wafa saw a little boy who seemed to be silent in the middle of the road.
At first, Wafa thought that the boy was just joking around on the streets. But after being seen from the gaze of the eyes and also the movements, Wafa was sure if the child was not like other children who were playing ordinary.
"The child …."
"Mbak Wafa, there are new pregnant women who are said to want to put their children later after birth in this foundation. He sud—" Mbak Nur's speech stopped when Wafa gave his mobile phone to him.
"Answer, yes. Um, tell Abi that I have a sudden job. Thank you, Mbak Nur is good," said Wafa after giving his phone to Mbak Nur.
"But, Ma'am Wafa! That's the guy—this time, you know!" mbak Nur's speech was back.
"One serving of fried rice Mas Benu. Free for Mbak Nur tonight!" yelled Wafa while running outside.
Hearing the fried rice Mas Benu did make Mbak Nur tempted. Mas Benu and Mbak Nur are indeed kasmaran. If the two of them could meet, a bonus could be a love match on that occasion. Forced, Mbak Nur answered a phone call from Wafa's father and said so.
Wafa's guest is a girl who is pregnant, but her boyfriend does not want to be responsible. Wafa's foundation does accept babies who are still in the womb. By opening the foundation, Wafa hopes to reduce abortions, discarded babies or children who are persecuted because of family problems.
"Dad!"
"Awas, motor!"
At full speed, Wafa pulls the child until he is injured in the elbow. In fact, Wafa's sleeves are torn. On the side of the big highway, there are still many pebbles that have begun to erode because the asphalt is damaged.
"You're okay, aren't you?" ask Wafa to the little girl.
However, the little girl just silently looked at Wafa with a puzzled look. The rain was getting heavier, Wafa brought the little girl to the foundation and immediately made her warm. Carrying the little girl, Wafa braved the rain and asked one of the foundation guards to close the gate back.
"Mbak Nur!"
"Mbak Nur, please, Mom!"
"O Allah, Ma'am Wafa? Why get soaked like this, anyway?" mbak Nur said he panicked.
"Please find a five-year-old shirt. I bought something yesterday in the second cupboard. Pity this child has also been soaked," Wafa pinta without caring for himself.
"Then, Ma'am Wafa himself how? Mbak Wafa's clothes are also wet, you know!" sahut Mbak Nur's.
"Don't mind me. Quickly find clothes for this kid. I'll meet the guest outside for a while, after that I'll bathe this kid." Wafa was so good that he did not care about her who had been soaked for helping the little girl.
His guest was very young. An 18-year-old girl who is still in high school. But, she decided to drop out of school because her stomach was getting bigger.
"Sir, you should change clothes first is okay. I can still wait, though. It's also a pity if Mama and her sister are sick because her clothes are wet" said the girl.
"So it doesn't matter if I stay here again? I feel bad for Mbaknya because it has been waiting since," said Wafa.
The girl still had no problem waiting anymore. Soon Wafa came in and bathed the little girl he saved. Then ask Mbak Nur to accompany his guests. The little girl was very obedient when bathed by Wafa. Unbelieved, all of a sudden when Wafa's hand touched the little girl's cheek, he closed his eyes as if Wafa's hand was a very comfortable pillow.
The little girl just smiled, still comfortable with the touch of Wafa's hand. "Come, let's finish the bath first. You have to change your clothes immediately" continued Wafa.
There's no answer. The little girl just nodded her head without speaking. Wafa still did not know why his little girl would not talk.
"Whose name?" ask Wafa.
The little girl showed me the name tag in her school uniform. "Oh, her name is Grietta Huang Xu?" wafa continued again. His lips were a little muddy to mention the full name of Grietta, the little girl he had brought from across the street.
The girl's name is indeed Grietta Huang Xu or her Indonesian name is Grietta Hutomo. The daughter of a wealthy young businessman named Huang Jie Xie, or Bian Hutomo. This businessman is young but already bears the status of a widower.
"You went to school in Santa Maria, huh?" ask Wafa again, trying to get Grietta to talk. Grietta also nodded.
"Um, you know your Dad or Mom's number, don't you?" ask Wafa again.
Grietta just silently looked at Wafa with her innocent gaze. Wafa knew the meaning, but Grietta did not understand what he was asking. In fact, Wafa also had a slow talk.
"Ah, he's the son of this rich man, for sure. Non-Muslims too. Must've called her parents not Dad, Mom, it's!" inner Wafa. "Deddy or your Mommy, where?" wafa asked.
Grietta changed his mind.
"Oh, he's responding. So the call is indeed Daddy and Mommy. He knows what I say means. Um, but he can't answer my questions. What's with this beautiful girl, huh?" wafa again.
Already various ways Wafa asked how to contact the parents of this Grietta, still the 5-year-old little girl did not answer his question. Wafa intends to go to his school to find information about his parents and contact him.
"Well, before Grietta gets home, what if Grietta eats here first. You're free to choose any side dish that's in that fridge, hm?" said Wafa while pointing at the refrigerator in the kitchen.
But, Grietta shook her head. Wafa did not understand the meaning of the Grietta's trinket was refused or what. He asked the little girl what kind of food she liked. Wafa has trouble communicating with Grietta.
"Usually if a rich man's son is like this, what's his favorite food, huh?" wafa muttered confusedly.
Grietta knows what Wafa is saying. He borrowed Wafa's cell phone in his hand, then searched the internet for what he liked.
"Corn soup?"
"Do you like corn soup?" ask Wafa after Grietta shows the search results. Grietta was pleased.
"Alright, Brother will take you to school first to find your parents' phone number, yes. Then, later while waiting for your parents to pick up, we eat your favorite corn soup first. How, you agree?" wafa Proposal.
Grietta nodded in spirit.
"okay!" exclaiming Wafa raised his hand, wanting to invite Grietta tos. Grietta immediately understood and returned Wafa's kindness by kissing her cheek.
"But before we go, you can not, if you first meet the guests who are in front there. Grietta would like to wait a minute, wouldn't you?" wafa.
Grietta nodded back. Then raised his thumb as a sign of agreement. Then, will Grietta's parents want to pick her up?
