" If this is a dream , please don't wake me up. I want to feel this happiness a little longer even if it's just a dream.”

Ara stepped in a hurry to deliver drink orders to customers. Quite a busy day at work because it was busy with customers. The girl arrived in front of a table occupied by a man. He seemed very busy with his laptop.

"Excuse me," Ara said politely. Then he handed the glass from the tray he was holding. Then, either because his hands were too slippery or not strong enough to grip the glass, the drink immediately spilled onto the laptop.

Suddenly the man was immediately surprised. His anger was mounting because everything he was working on was destroyed. “You're blind, huh ?! Can't be careful? Just delivering drinks is n't good!"

“S-sorry, sis. I didn't do it on purpose," Ara said with trembling lips. He looked down in fear.

"With the word sorry, can my laptop live again?" the boy hissed. "Now I want you to take responsibility! Replace my laptop !”

Shaking her head in fear, the girl lowered her head. His fingers squeezed together. He could not possibly replace the laptop.

" Then call your manager ! Where's your manager ?! "

"What is it?" asked one who was the manager of the cafe. He came out to check when he heard a commotion.

"I want to ask for compensation for the laptop that has been used ruined by your employee ! ”

manager immediately looked at the spilled glass. "Excuse me sir. Forgive my employees,” he begged.

"I want him to be compensated and fired!" The man pointed towards Ara. "Otherwise, I'll- "

“Y-yes. I will compensate." Ara took a step forward, she bowed to the manager. "I also want to resign from here, sir. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work here.”

The angry man left the cafe with his identification card. While Ara back to the back to pack up for home. In her heart, the girl thought hard about how to replace a laptop that costs even tens of millions. his savings would certainly never be enough.

Long breath exhaled slowly while looking at the orange sky of Jakarta. "Lord, how is this?"

***

A husband and wife stood at the door of an orphanage with two teenage boys. Their faces looked so serious. The father knocked on the door. It took a while for Mrs. Nia to come out and greet her with a friendly smile. "Can I help you?"

"I have something to talk about, ma'am. Is it possible?" asked the man.

After inviting the four guests to enter, they are now in the living room. Without further ado, the father immediately expressed his intention of coming to this orphanage. "I see, ma'am. I came here to ask about the orphanage here. Are there any girls here who are as old as high school teenagers?”

"Yes, there is. Her name is Ara," answered the Orphanage, "what's that got to do with it?"

"Can you explain, ma'am, the ins and outs of that girl?" asked the wife curiously.

Mrs. Nia immediately explained in detail and in detail how she first met a girl named Ara. They all listened carefully so as not to miss a word. When finished telling, they were very moved and grateful because their child was still alive all this time. Even though Nia didn't believe it at first, when the family showed lots of evidence that Ara was part of them, the woman smiled with relief.

In the midst of the emotion that enveloped her, a girl entered the living room after saying hello. Of course their attention immediately turned to him.

"Loh, Brother, isn't it yesterday , huh?" asked Ara when she saw the boy who was with her yesterday when she was in the school garden. "Brother what are you doing here?"

"My son..." Rossa muttered. Her tears flowed. He approached the girl and hugged her. “Baby ... finally mom find you."

Ara was silent. He was utterly confused. However, he felt comfortable, even though he never returned the hug. The embrace broke down when Mrs. Nia told Ara to sit down.

"They are your biological family, honey. The family that you have been missing all this time,” explained Mrs. Nia while stroking Ara's shoulder, who she considered her own child.

"How is it possible, Bun?" Asked Ara who still can't believe this fact.

"Your necklace, honey. It's rare for anyone to have a necklace like that,” Rossa replied, wiping away the remaining tears on her cheeks.

" This necklace." Ara took out a dangling necklace. Observe carefully . In fact, he still couldn't believe what was happening.

"You are part of our family. There are still deeds, photos of you when you were little, other evidence if you still don't believe it." The man handed over a pile of files containing things that strengthened the evidence that Ara was their daughter.

The girl looked at them one by one. The memory in his head seemed familiar. Unknowingly, tears trickled down his cheeks. He kept his mouth shut. The part is swelling. “Is this for real ? Ara isn't dreaming, is she?”

"Yes dear. Come hug mommy ."

Ara looked at her family, then approached her mother. Her tears were full of emotion.

" Mommy missed you so much." He kissed the forehead of the baby he loved so much over and over again.

"Here hug daddy ." Sauqi spread his arms, then embraced Ara full of warmth. “ I miss you , daddy 's little princess ”

"We both don't got a hug?"

Ara turned to the two teenagers sitting next to her father. "Older brother?"

"Call brother, honey."

Ara rushed towards the two young men. The joy is absurd. His prayer came true. He was reunited with his family.

After letting go of longing, in the little girl's heart covered with doubts. He has considered this orphanage as his family as well as his home to return to, but now he has been reunited with his birth family. However, when she turned to Nia, the woman nodded gently.

“Go home. They are your real family," Nia said holding back her tears from flowing. Like it or not, ready or not, he must be able to let go of the girl he has considered as his own child.

" Thank you , Mother, for taking care of Ara from when she was little until now. Ara will not forget Mother's services. Thank you very much. Ara will visit here often, because everyone here is also Ara's family," said Ara as she hugged her mother tightly.

Tears cannot be held or avoided. Everyone drifted away in emotion and happiness.
