The sound of a little boy calling for Anna from inside the wooden house
"Sister Anna...." Calling one of the children from the courtyard of the House of Bu Lydia, Anna who heard the call turned her head with a smile, then waved Anna to return Meisya, 8-year-old girl, one of the foster children of Miss Lydia.
The boy is seen running open the wooden gate for Anna.

" Where's Mommy May? ko deserted, where are the others?" he asked when he saw the state of the house Bu Lidia looked lonely, which usually sounded joking laughter from children.
"Mother is in the sewing room, again make an order for her dress Bu RT ,bikin Kak family uniform" Meisya explained.

"Getishalight." Miss Lydia answered from inside the house.
"Mom.. There's Anna's sister!" While entering Meisya and Anna approached Lady Lydia in a special room sewing hers. Meisya to the back first, sister, want to do schoolwork!" pamit Meisha.
"Yes.. Thanks to Mei" Anna said.
"Sama-sama Brother.
"For what time Mom, Sapa Anna, then approached Ms. Lidia in her room.
"Eh..Anna, who do you think you are!" This is my mother again for a batik uniform that belongs to Bu Weni. How are you, son, healthy? Ask Lady Lydia who was standing over to Anna.
Anna reached out and grabbed Lady Lydia's hand and kissed her.
" Well... That's a really nice shirt, ma'am"
" Yes an, Ms. RT wants a uniform model, yes it easily fits her taste Bu RT.
"Other times, teach Anna to sew, Ma'am" Pinta Anna.
"You want to learn to sew, really!, come here, I'll teach you."
" Later Mom, if you're not busy anymore, then even interfere with the work of the mother, the other children where Mom?" Anna asked while paying attention to the state of the house.
"There's on the back porch" replied Ms. Lydia who continued to sew it.
"Anna can go back and find them, ma'am?"
"May dong dear, I want to finish my work first! it's over soon."
"Mom..Here, Anna brought a little food to make here," Anna lifted the bag she was carrying.
"You, don't bother to bring food, if you want to come here! You come, mother and children are happy."
" No pa-pa ma'am... Just a little bit not much ko, not at all troublesome. Anna was happy,"
Anna back then, Anna's food put on the dinner table huh, Mom! anna's Proposal.
"Yes An...Thank you, yeah."
" Together Mom" replied Anna.
Anna also left Miss Lydia who was continuing to sew it.On the back porch of the house of Ms. Lydia, it looks like some children are doing homework. They help each other when there are those who do not understand it. In the star house there are 5 foster children Miss Lydia. Among them Meisya, Aldi, Vira, Tino and Laras. All the children in the star house were schooled by Miss Lydia, because Miss Lydia wanted them to have a better future.
"Hai-hi's...What are you guys, are you serious about everything?" Sapa Anna, disperse the concentration of those who are seriously working on PR.
"Hey.. Brother Anna" answered them compactly.
"You want Anna to help you, don't you mind doing this?" Anna asked them.
" yeah .. Asikk, someone finally wants to help me!"Tino said with excitement.
"I'm done Ka" cried Aldi.
"I've dong, too" Vira chimed in.
"Died Tino aja that has not been Kak, from the short letter did not poultice, no seriously he, jahilin we continue" Meisya told Anna.
"Where do you want to memorize, you are noisy, I'm a reason to memorize," Tino replied to the accusations made for him.
"Yes already...Right here! Sister Anna help, make memorization, you read later Sister Anna who corrects, it is true what has not been said. For others, when you're done tidying the book and washing your hands, Anna brings a little food, it's on the dinner table! Watch out can't scramble, yes" Anna warned the children.
"Ok. ready Brother."
"Asik Sister Anna keeps bringing food here, please let's see if she comes, Exclaimed.. Likes to joke." Said the child while whispering leaving the terrace behind towards the dining room, one of the places they gathered.
Until late in the afternoon Anna was there, accompanying the children to play and study. Until the time of Ashar's prayer came, the children and Lady Lydia prepared to worship.
Anna felt sad at that time, because Anna could not join them. He chose to wait on the back porch. Until they finished their worship.
"An, let's eat yu first, did I see you didn't eat with the kids?" ask Miss Lydia.
"Ge ngga ngta ma'am..Thank you, Anna is troublesome, eat everything" she replied hesitantly, Mom, is it okay Anna is always here?
Anna was afraid of troubling mom and the others."
"Not to feel sorry, consider your own home," Miss Lydia embraced him and stroked Anna's shoulders, giving a touch of affection like a mother.
"Thank you Mom, hugging Miss Lydia."
"You can think of mom as your mom here.
Still comfortable with Ms. Lydia's touch, Anna stretched the distance.
"Duh be a gini cheng! Sorry Mom, but,
here Anna was far from Brother and parents, so yes, had to make an effort on her own.
Anna told Ms. Lydia that she was a Christian. He lived alone in the princess boarding house, during his stay here he was close to all the parents of his friends. It made her feel comforted because she was away from her parents. He only occasionally bersihturahmi with his uncle in Jakarta.
Although far from her parents, Anna never forgot to share the news with them.
Ms. Lydia was astonished and proud of Anna, even though a Christian, knowledge of Islam once she was diligent, even Anna helped teach juz'amma to children. Ms. Lydia also knew Anna was good at reading the Qur'an.
Anna learned all that because most of Anna's friends are Muslims, especially Maira who greatly helped Anna in learning the Qur'an.
Ms. Lydia often tells of Anna's arrival to her Son who is already working and has his own company, she tells all about Anna.
Until lunch time, the sound of a car stopped in the yard.
"Gee... Incidentally, that mother's son has gone home from work! Later we eat together with him, you have not had time to meet him, right. later mother introduced." Said Lady Lydia leaving Anna, then stepping towards the door of the house, she was about to open the door for her son.
"Assalamualaikum" Abbas said.
"Waalaikumsalam" replied Ms. Lydia and Anna.
Miss Lydia opened the door for Abbas.
"Tumben son, is this hour home? Is your work good?" Ask Lady Lydia to her son.
"Alhamdulillah, smoothly Ma'am. Earlier this morning Abbas only went to campus to make sure the seminar schedule was two days away, in the office was just a file check, so today Abbas can go home quickly.
"Alhamdulillah then, well.son yqh great mother, has become a young motivator.
"It's all thanks to my dear mother's support" Abbas kissed Lydia's cheek, as he was about to go to her room.
"Oh yes, son, wait a minute" Call Ms. Lydia to stop Abbas's move.
"An.. Call Miss Lydia to Anna who is at the dinner table preparing food.
"Yes Mom..." Answer Anna.
"Cabin! I want to introduce my son to you,
when Anna approached Lady Lydia, their eyes met.
"You"
"You"
Both are compact.
"Lohs..You already know each other" asked Bu Lydia in surprise.
" Not Ma'am" replied Anna.
" Yes not yet Ma'am, he and I had met on campus, we passed by there, but had not yet gotten acquainted." Abbas explained.
"It's a lad!..Introduce, this is Anna, which I tell you about a lot, the girl helped me the other day at the market, when you didn't pick up mom." Miss Lydia reminded Abbas. And this is An's mother's son, she's the oldest child here.
"Anne." He stretched out his hand to shake Abbas's hand.
"Abbas." he returned Anna's hand.
"Hmm...You're the guy who was on campus this morning, right? I'm sorry, I went this morning, his brother was late for class.
"With pa-pa, I can understand."
"You know each other now, call Abbas, Abang aja An, he is of Acehnese descent. Let's be more familiar. Anna just smiled at Miss Lydia's words.
"Yes already so, Nak you shower first there, later join ya, we eat together.
Mom and Anna had it ready.
"Yes Ma...Abbas goes to the room first, he wants to clean up.
"Yes son, I'm waiting in the dining room."
"Yes." Yeah."
"I'm sorry Abbas, son, he's so, it looks cold and cranky but he's a good man, caring for others.
"What's up Mom, Anna knows me."
While climbing the stairs Abbas glanced at Anna who was helping Ms. Lydia in the dining room. Upstairs there are only two rooms, Abbas's room and Lady Lydia's. But Ms. Lydia never wore it, she used the room downstairs more often, closer to the larger children's room downstairs.
After he finished cleaning up, Abbas sat down for a moment on the sofa in his room. He digested what his mother had told him, that the girl he often met at the school, the girl who often helped pilgrims distribute food. the girl who often children tell helps teach and learn it is Anna. a woman who has different beliefs with him.....
