"Oh, how do you think Salwa is?"

"Good." Answer Mom briefly.

I took a long breath. Just this time my mind was seized by a girl.

"Suitable for candidates, ghosts" said the mother

The aroma of concoction of sambalado seasoning evaporates in the air. I didn't go to college today. I just want to take care of my job. Thank God, lots of t-shirt orders this month.

T-shirts with their own design become their own style of attraction. Those who order will luluasa with designs they make themselves. Most are order t-shirts couple. Whether it's for their boyfriend or partner. There is also a family shirt.

"Aren't you in college?" mother asked to see me just meleot on the dining table while waiting for him to cook.

"Holiday, buk. Just take care of the order," I replied.

"There's a shower first. Food's ripe in ten minutes,"

"Eat first, Mom..." My objection.

"We can't say, yes. Take a shower first, let it be fresh. Energy also let's choose all,"

"Yes, Mum... Just today, okay."

"Every night staying up again?"

I'm nodding. Mother from the kitchen saw me who was grinning.

"Layla's getting tested, ma'am. Albi can't help anything. So yes, I can help with prayer."

"You've done well to your sister. But, what about you. It's wheeling for you too?" ask mom

"Pray for Layla is also for Albi as well, buk."

"Not like that either. Sometimes I think, why are you so dear to Layla. Your love is too much, until you forget not to think about yourself" said the mother.

I'm silent. Don't know. My thoughts are only for Layla. Don't know why? Naturally he's my brother.

"Same sister at the protest. Outside, there are many sisters who don't care about their siblings. Until his parents are overwhelmed to reconcile. Lah, this mother was confused because I was too dear,"

"Ckk... It's up to you, Le... Mother's message. You also need to think about your future. Recognize the same mother who you think sreg i."

"Oh... Do you want a ghost?" Guess from the direction of the conversation.

"Learn to, you're an adult. Much of what you. But, you're a step away."

"La was I asking about Salwa? Didn't that think?"

"So you're starting to like, le same Salwa?"

I shrugged my shoulders. While sticking out the lower lip.

"Don't know. What do you think mom? I'm a fart."

"Bright... Piye to yourself Iki, le. (How are you,le)"

I get out of the chair. Heading to the kitchen, take the dishes on the shelf. Then scoop the rice from the cooker into three dishes. Take him to the dinner table. And for mom and dad.

A few minutes later, the vegetable egg sambalado served on the table also by the mother. Here are some tofu tempe dishes. Although in the vegetable already there tofu tempe even potatoes as well. But, for mothers to know and tempe is a mandatory menu of our family.

"Call your father on the front porch" mother asked

I'm nodding. Without waiting for me to go straight to the terrace. Say breakfast is ready. And I'm waiting for the table to eat.

I went back to the dining room with my dad. We were ready to enjoy breakfast together this morning.

"Come, get eaten."

I scooped up the vegetables and added crackers on the rice that was still smoky. Once complete, I began to scoop into my mouth.

"When's your graduation, le?" ask Dad in between our meals.

"Next year, yeah."

They were calm by the time I finished the thesis. I also went to college just to find a relationship as my business in the future. Looking for opportunities and not wasting my free time.

"Yes. He's even a thesis before Albi, "

"The chick looks sintered and dexterous,"

I'm nodding.

"He's also handsome. Already have a girlfriend?" ask mother.

"Many Ma'am. Just choose her mah,"

"Loh, it's not that she likes Layla. Yesterday was right here, asking for my blessing to get Layla's heart."

It's Andre's basis. He doesn't look at feathers. Srudak. Don't know if this family is taking care of Layla from people who just mess around.

"Don't take heart... He's like that." I said.

"But if you've been in the same position for a long time. That means the originals are good, right? Do you believe in him?"

"believe. But not to be Layla's boyfriend."

Mom and Dad chuckled. Don't know why?

" What kind of man will be able to deket your sister?"

"Don't know. Just Layla's smile,"

"Layla's mom was just like you,"

"It's okay. Layla same I keep."

Mom and Dad were shaking.

"It seems that later if there is a man who proposes to Layla will be in the fog ngadepin you, Bi,"

"More fierce than me?" ask Dad with a smile.

I melengos. Don't know what to answer.

"Just pray for me. May the mother's children have a good match,"

"Don't ask me to pray either,"

I smiled knot. Mother's prayers have no aling-aling. Because the mother is the guardian possessed by a child.

Food's up. After sipping a drink I cleaned the dirty dishes, washing all with the container used by the mother of cooking earlier.

"Don't forget to take a shower, le!" Mom exclaimed after knowing I had cleaned the kitchen.

"Yes, buk..." I reply and then head to the room.

I took a towel inside the cupboard after which I entered the bathroom. I splashed my body with refreshing cold water.

After the bath, I still wrapped the towel around my waist with my chest open.

My ward went to Almari, intending to pick up a t-shirt and pants. When I opened the closet, the bag containing a gift from Salwa stole my attention.

Since that day I just put it in the closet without wanting to know what it is. Just saw it when mom and dad found out that I got it from Salwa.

I took the bag. Step back a few steps to the edge of the bed. I'm sitting there. While removing the contents of the bag.

"Everything is classy. How can I return it later. Did Salwa not choose to love me who was this nobody?"

"If she finds out, if I'm not Layla's older sister and only the child she took from the orphanage. Will his family accept me? They have good staff. I don't even know anything about my nasab."

Salwa, the sweet girl who had shade in her gaze. It was better if he was betrothed by a prince, who was as powerful as he was. I'm not the only one who lives in people's families.

I still have to repay this family. There's no way I'm running from a family that's been willing to take care of me from a baby.

If I get married fast, it means I have to take care of two families, not to mention my family as well. I'm not sure if I can do that right now.

At least until there's someone I can count on to be my successor here. That means, after Layla finds her soul mate.

Well, I guess I'll think of marriage after Layla gets the right man to look after her later. Not only do you love Layla but also your mom and dad as well. That way, I'll go quietly.
