Love Returns
CH 12: GIFT

Shortly before getting into the car, Moza was left in confusion. He did not want to sit next to Mr. Bram but he was also lazy if he had to sit in the back with the Ratna gang, where Mr. Bram's car was only 2 space.

” Aah, you know like this I did not have to agree to be among “ grousers Moza.

Bram sees Moza's confused expression, prompting Moza who is not far from his presence to get into the front seat right beside the steering chair. “ just relax Moza, suppose I don't have “ whispered Bram without wanting to sound Ratna and her friends.

Ratna snorted angrily seeing Moza already sitting in the front seat, violently closing the rear car door. Dona and Karin who saw that felt that there was an aura of war in the car. It felt like coldness enveloped the back seat, because of the sharp eyes of Ratna who never separated from Moza's face. I want it to feel like Ratna pulled Moza's long hair that is rarely seen in the tie, because Moza is always grating her thick black hair.

“ We go home directly, Sir.. I don't want to buy us any more food.. Hehehe “ asked Karin giggling with Dona, they actually just want to melt the atmosphere in the car that was quiet from the beginning of the car was on the run.

Bram smiled at the babbling of his protege, actually he just wanted to invite them to eat again but he happened to have a need with one of the foundation officials at the school where he taught.

“ Next time Yes Dona, oia.. Maybe tomorrow I can not accompany you to work in the park, I ask you to please finish your punishment, yes, if not your punishment can be added again later “ pinta Bram to the students.

“ well, Mr. “ answered them in unison and interspersed with a nod, as well as Moza.

Bram smiled looking at the four of them. “ Kids well “ Bram again.

Bram delivers Karin first because his house turns out to be the closest to the park, then delivers Ratna who asks to go down at Dona's house because she reasons her parents have not come home, coincidentally, the two houses are only different blocks so it is not too far for Ratna to go home alone.

Last Bram delivers Moza, Moza points at a small alley and asks to be dropped off in front of the alley.

“ Thank you, Mr. “ Moza wants to open the car door but Bram's hands prevent it. Bram gives a gift to Moza. “ What is this, Sir.. Wh-wh-what for? “ asked Moza while looking at her teacher's face.

“ Can't call me sir when we're just two Moza, and this I just want to give you a small gift, may you like, a gift from a fan “ Bram smile sweetly looking at Moza's face.

Moza was careless at such a point of view, “ Sorry, I can't call you by any other name, not for now when you are still my teacher, why give me this “ Moza returned the gift wrapped in pink gift paper to her teacher who still looked at her meaningfully.

Bram exhales weakly, “ just take the gift, later you also know.. Come out, it's night, get some rest.. Good night “ Bram put the gift back on Moza's lap while releasing his gaze and looking back towards the front.

Without a second thought Moza got out of the car without answering anything. He ran into the alley without looking back. He only heard the teacher's car leave and could no longer be heard.

Moza was really confused how to respond to the teacher, Moza had kept his distance many times but still there was a gap for his teacher to approach him, as today Mr. Bram gave a gift to him.

While walking Moza opened the pink gift paper that covered the gift from Mr. Bram, a novel book with the title “ LOVE it RAINBOW “. He opened the cover turned out to be a local essay and below it appeared the writing of a pen that still looks new :

Reading the writing made his heart momentarily beat fast, somewhat asphyxiated. Moza instantly adjusted her breathing until her heartbeat returned to normal, she examined her chest with both hands, her tightness began to decrease, Moza felt a strange thing but on the edge of the uncomfortable feeling. He went back down the alley to get to the boarding house as soon as possible.

Arriving in front of the boarding house, Moza was very surprised to see his father was already standing in front of his boarding house, while carrying 2 pieces of black plastic. His father smiled in a tired face looking at him.

“ Ayaahh, it's been a long time “ Moza was still surprised but then took his father's hand to shake hands and be greeted by his father's embrace. The warm embrace that Moza misses so much.

Long time they hugged, until finally Moza took off his embrace and rushed to open the door of his boarding room. “ Login, Well “ Moza let her father in.

His father came in and looked around the room of his son's boarding room, saw the look of sadness on Dad. He was sad to see Moza's life, alone in such a small room, although it looks neat because Moza is his son loves cleanliness and neatness but still the heart of parents who are not sad to see his son struggling without him.

There is a feeling of regret in him for letting Moza live alone out of his reach, before his wife, his mother Moza died, his son was very dependent on his mother even sticking wherever his mother went , But since the departure of his wife for good, made his son turned independent and not crybaby at all.

Unlike her new self in the living wife died 3 months already married again with the widow of 2 children, Moza's stepmother now. The reason was very selfish regardless of Moza's feelings at that time, and it was only natural that Moza was angry and sulked leaving him out of the house.

“ Dad was a long time ago, sorry Moza came home late because there is an additional duty from school “ explained Moza without mentioning the punishment he received for working in a bar as an underage worker. I could be angry he thought.

“ No son, most recently 15 minutes.. I know your cost from son Jimy, yesterday I met him at the market when he accompanied his mother shopping “ stories father explained what Moza really wanted to ask.

Moza was confused to talk especially, then he saw the black plastic bag that his father had brought.

“ What is this, dad? “ asked Moza while opening the plastic.

“ ooh, just before here dad stopped by to buy your favorite fried rice, I happen to have not eaten, you have a plate and spoon.. I also bought some of your favorite milk and mineral water “. I was so excited to open every plastic.

Moza took out a plate and spoon as well as a glass for drinking water. Moza was very happy to see her favorite fried rice in front of her, like a dream of being able to eat fried rice with her father at this time. Moza bribed his fried rice with a full day, did not feel his tears dripping, rush him to let his father not see the tears that suddenly slid into his cheeks.

They eat without making a sound only the sound of flatware and the crisp sound of crackers they bite. Moza finished her last mouthful of fried rice with a happy smile.

After eating, his father said goodbye to Moza. Before leaving, his father gave a lot of advice to him even persuasion to go home. Which was definitely rejected subtly by Moza. Lastly his father gave Moza the money and ordered that he be used as well as possible for his needs.

His father asked Moza, after graduation he would continue where, what would college. Moza hasn't given his father an answer, he's still confused between the two options, he promises when he will definitely tell his father.

After her father died, Moza brushed her teeth and prepared to go to sleep. She closed her eyes, and remembered the moment with her father just now was so happy, then she remembered her mother, she smiled “ mother, she said, Moza will prove that Moza will not disappoint mom and dad “ then Moza went to dreamland.
