The Price of Sainthood

The Price of Sainthood
Ye?


Ting.


Dante's face immediately beamed after hearing the notification sound from the phone he was holding. The young man with black jeans and white polo shirt tops and equipped with a jacket with an online ojek company logo immediately unlocked the screen and smiled happily when getting the order.


He hurriedly started the motor and rushed to the customer's place. Incidentally, the address of his first customer this morning was very close to his boarding place. Until he does not want to waste time and refuse sustenance to remember his life is so sad lately.


Meanwhile, in another place, Alisha seemed to be preparing to travel. He wore blue jeans and a checkered shirt that covered the black shirt as his outfit choice this time. She still looks beautiful and charming even though the clothes she wears are so simple.


"Are you sure you want to start selling cakes again?" Wanda, who was sitting on the couch, asked her son in a dubious tone. The woman who still looked limp and pale noticed every move of her single daughter. Starting from combing hair to sitting with a bent position while installing the white sneaker shoes.


"Mom's worried you're tired" she continued. "You still have to work part-time, take care of your mother, and make cakes and deliver orders."


"Mother ...." Alisha approached her mother, then clasped the middle-aged woman's hand to calm down. "Alisha does not make cakes every day. On order only. Mumpung now there are people who order a lot, Alisha does not want to waste the opportunity. Alisha please don't ban Alisha, ma'am."


Wanda could only sigh slowly. How could he be able to forbid if his beautiful daughter pleaded with a pity face.


"Yes, yeah. But let me help you, yeah."


Alisha shakes her head as she puts her lips together.


"No bo-leh. My mother is in recovery phase. And Mother is strictly prohibited from being exhausted" he said while hugging the mother full of affection.


That is the relationship between mother and child. They love each other and worry about each other. While busy spoiling, suddenly Alisha's cellphone lying on the table rang.


"Alisha pick up the phone first, yes ma'am," she said to her mother. Without waiting for the woman to answer, she shifted the blue phone handle even though there was no name from the number calling her.


"Hello" he said to someone across the street.


"With Alisha's mother? I'm Kang ojek online that Mbak ordered earlier, Ma'am." The voice of the man across there was heard.


"Oh yeah? How fast, my dear?"


Alisha was able to estimate the age of the young man through his voice. Sweet and polite sounding.


"Oh yeah, where's the mama? I'm in front of the entrance alley, Ma'am. I just wait here, because I don't know which house is Ma'am."


"Yes Mas. I will soon be there. It's only fifty yards from my house."


"Wait a minute, yes, Ma'am."


Alisha cut off the phone and said goodbye to her mother.


"Mom, Alisha went to the market first, yeah. Mom's fine at home while Alisha's shopping. Alisha promises not to be long, really." The girl hastened after kissing the back of her mother's hand.


"Be careful, yeah. Take good care of yourself too!"


"Surely Ma!"


Alisha ran small down the narrow path towards the front alley. He did not want to make the taxi driver who was booked wait for a long time.


From a distance, he saw someone sitting on a motorbike while playing a mobile phone in his hand. From the jacket worn, he was sure that the man was waiting for him. Until in the end he did not hesitate to say hello while patting the man's shoulder from behind.


"I'm sorry to make you wait a long time, yes!"


The downed man was shocked and spontaneously put his phone in his jacket pocket.


"No pa-pa, ma'am, not too long ago, really." He immediately took a helmet for the passenger and thrust it on the passenger who was standing behind. However, when the eyes met the eyes, both of them turned in unison and exclaimed at the same time.


"You?"
