Abbas left Lady Lydia and Anna in the living room. Abbas decided to clean up first in his room. He carried out his duties as a Muslim, because Ashar's time was already passed. He is moving his obligation. Abbas mentioned in his prayer the name of someone who has recently made his heart uneasy. He knows this feeling is wrong if it continues. Another difference made him think again.
Heard Anna's heart. Abbas called it in prayer. For only God has turned his heart. I don't know why her feelings for Anna are so great. He felt comfortable with her.
In the family room
Ms. Lydia took Anna to the family gathering room where the children also gathered there. The living room arranged in such a way by Ms. Lydia makes the atmosphere there comfortable to live in. Two long L-shaped sofas with tables at the end of the Sofanya. In the middle of the sofa in the title of the carpet that children usually use when studying together and teaching after the Maghrib prayer ahead of isya.
Happy always Anna gets here. They welcomed her well every time Anna was in the Star House. A very warm sense of family he felt here. They joke and laugh together. Abbas had just returned after he cleaned himself up, wearing a polo shirt and knee-length shorts. That home-grown outfit makes him different from his day-to-day appearance outside.
Miss Lydia stood up. He was about to prepare a meal to eat together when he saw Abbas joining them in the living room. Sitting cross-legged helps Vira who is continuing her schoolwork.
Anna offered to help Lydia. They both rushed to the kitchen to prepare everything.
It was heard from the children's kitchen room with Abbas. Because the distance from the kitchen and family room is only a sideboard that separates the two rooms. Anna smiled at the rant of the vira who asked Abbas about Anna's arrival with her. Vira opposes Abbas
“Cie ... Brother is dating, same sister Anna? Can be tandem.” Vira's voice teased Abbas.
Abbas raised an eyebrow while smiling.”Secret dong, you are still a child can not talk dating,”
“Cie .. cie ... Brother, many smiles of your own now? More kasmaran, nih!” Vira keeps teasing Abbas.
Abbas approached Vira, tickling him until he laughed at Abbas' attack.
“You dare yes, same Brother ... Forgiveness isn't? Abbas continued to tickle the waist of Vira who had seduced Abbas.
“Pun cr ... Forgiveness ... Ma'am... Brother ni, naughty Bu.” Vira Whine.
“Do not forgive, Bang” Tino chimed. He stuck his tongue out at Vira.
Ms. Lydia just shook her head, hearing the hilarious joking in the living room. He warms the vegetables that were cooked. Anna helped prepare the dishes on the table according to the number of people who were there. He did not forget to prepare water for drinking.
“Sorry yes, An. They are like that when they get together. Don't take heart. Words of children!” Miss Lydia approached Anna with a plate of balado squid in her hand. Then put it in the middle of the dining table, complete already the dishes are prepared. There is fried soy sauce chicken, vegetable soup, Abbas' favorite balado squid, capcay, tempeh and fried tofu.
“Not pa-pa. Ma'am. Anna was happy to see him. Mom, cook a lot, there is a special event ‘kah?” asked Anna astonished to see the dishes in the kitchen were still left from the dishes that had been served.
“Not ... only add to Abbas's favorite cuisine, calamari balado and capcay later you try, yes! Even if later the food msih much we can share with those in need.
Anna nodded.
“Bang Abbas is very different, Bun if at home.”
“Seeing warmer”
“But if it's outside, beuuhhh .. rich in ice cubes, Mom!”Anna said her hand moved to arrange the dishes on the dining table.
Ms. Lyidia smiled in response.”Yes, indeed his attitude was like that, he severely limited his attitude if he was outside the house. He is quiet, but he shows his friendly attitude. He only showed his warm attitude when with his foster siblings, there were several times there were women who tried to approach him but Brother was indifferent to them. Just as you Abbas' attitude is different,” whispered Ms. Lydia said softly. Anna turned to Lady Lydia not understanding what she meant.
Since Abbas's efforts advanced rapidly. Abbas who has a sincere and financial support that is more than his business that is growing successfully. He sympathized with the child who lost their parents, asking permission from Mother Lydia to invite him to live together. Abbas will fully finance their education until they can get a better life.
Abbas's wish was welcomed by Ms. Lydia. Miss Lydia's house is becoming more crowded with their presence. The education and affection of a Miss Lydia ushered everything into an accomplished child.
Ms. Lydia approached those who were boisterous in the living room.” Bang, kids, eat first, yuk!”Ms. Lydia rubbed the cool head of Tino with a pencil stroke in her drawing book.”before, son! Eat first, huh?” said Miss Lydia and got a nod from Tino.
The kids moved to the dining room. While Ms. Lydia tidia tidied up the items scattered on the carpet in the middle of the family room.
Seen the sketch drawing of the building, he smiled.”Looks like Tino is very talented in drawing buildings, take a look, kid!Ms. Lydia handed over some of the pictorial papers to Abbas.
Abbas fused his eyebrows, his eyes glaring in disbelief. Tino, a 10-year-old boy with just a pencil could draw a building of this detail.
“Tino is talented to be an Architect, Bu!”Abba researched the hand scratches from Tin, his imagination was incredible.
“Abang will always support whatever the sisters do, Mom!they must be able to and strive to achieve the goals they dream of. InsyaAllah Abang will charge as much as Abang, Bu.”
“Aamiin ... I've felt in a position like them. I am thankful that God sent Mother to help me as a child. Now it's appropriate, I do the same thing as Mom.
“Ya already! We eat first, Anna has prepared it.” Ms. Lydia and Abbas stepped into the dining room.Abbas embraced the body of a middle-aged woman who has been very meritorious in her life and career so far.
In the dining room
The kids sit at the dinner table. Anna regularly took rice and put it on a plate owned by children. For side dishes and vegetables they prefer it themselves. Because every child has different tastes.
“I want a lot of vegetables,”ucap Vira while weeping vegetable soup into his plate.
“I want water sauce, same chicken soy sauce, ih ... cepetan why, Vir?Reply Meisya.
“Nih, I have your vegetables.” Vira poured the vegetable sauce onto the plate of Mesiya.
“Thank you”
“Do not spend dong .. !”exciting Tino.
Only Aldi and Laras yabng herds without debate. Maybe because they are teenagers.Aldo and Laras can act relented.
“Sabar .. don't scramble, mom cook a lot ko.” Ms. Lydia's soft voice broke the food fight at the dinner table. Anna stood up and shifted the stool for Ms. Lydia to sit down immediately. He immediately brought the rice to Miss Lydia.
“Already! Enough, An! It's too big a tie for mom,”ucap Bu Lydia.
Debate and mutual respect are sometimes present between them.But the attitude of sharing, loving and empathizing with each other always Miss Lydia and Abbas taught to children. So that later when they grow up, they choose the path of life and apart from Orphanage Bu Lydia the attitude continues to be instilled in taught to their descendants later.
When Abbas' body landed right on the bench facing Anna, he got a warm welcome from the woman who lately made his heart restless. He also replied with a smile.
“Abang ... I'll get you the rice and the side dishes, yeah?” Anna stood up and spooned the rice to Abbas's plate.
Abbas nodded.
“Use this .. , ‘kan?” Anna took a few spoons of calamari balado and a capcay to Abbas's plate. He served Abbas. What Anna did to Abbas got a suspicious look from the children sitting around the dining table. They are silent with
Abbas looked up at Anna, without speaking. Their eyes meet“ I know from Mom, she said this is my favorite cuisine Abang.” Anna shifted her eyes. He sat down again, ready to eat the food that was ready to eat on his plate.
