BECOMING HONEY'S SISTER
QUESTION OF SABRINA

"Bi, Abi left first huh. Sabrina is doing well with Aunt Mila." message Ilham to Sabrina.

"Yes Abi" Sabrina nodded her head.

"Mila, please pick Sabrina up first. If there is anything directly my phone." pinta mas Ilham.

"Hmm, what about Ayu, mas?" my many.

"Still in the room. It looks like he's not going down. Later tell mbok Asih nganter breakfast for Ayu and Ibed ya." pinta mas Ilham again. Before leaving he stretched out his hand, and then kissed my forehead slowly. "I'm sorry for this discomfort. I promise I'll make it okay soon. You have patience" he said.

This morning I delivered the departure of Ilham to the door. Although with a sense of heaviness because there are still many unresolved problems. Who would have thought, there was a pair of eyes watching what I was doing without my knowledge.

"Sabrina's coming to Auntie's room now." I guided Sabrina's hand towards my room. For the business of tidying the dining table while I leave it to mbok Asih.

Arriving at the room, I gave Sabrina the reading book she was holding, asking her to read while I had to calm down first after watching the commotion at the dinner table earlier.

"Tante," Call Sabrina. "Will Auntie take Abi from Umi and all of us?" tanyanya, looking at me.

"Huh? Oh, who said it?" I was a bit surprised by Sabrina's question. Second grader elementary school boy why can think like that.

"Say sister Hana. Sabrina is forbidden near Auntie."

"Astaghfirullah's. It's not true, Bi. Aunty won't take Abi away from you. Abi is yours."

"Then why did Abi kiss Auntie?"

Astagfirullah. Again I say Istighfar, should not be friendly in front of children, especially in a condition that they cannot accept my presence. "I'm sorry Auntie made Bi and the others uncomfortable. Aunty promised to try to keep the attitude, will not be too close to Abi." I said.

"Why should Aunty marry Abi?"

"Because ... Bi, there are some things that we sometimes can't explain. But Auntie's not here to hurt you. Dear aunt Sabrina, brother Iqbal, brother Asad, sister Hana and Ibed too."

"But Auntie makes Umi sad and that's the same as making us sad!"

"Tante's sorry dear, but Aunt being here has been approved by your Umi, even he who invited Auntie to come here."

"But why is Umi angry with Auntie?"

"Eitherway. Again not all questions can be answered dear aunt."

"Tante wants to be our stepmother, huh? But do we still have Umi? Auntie wants to kill Umi?"

Sabrina's questions left me shocked. And what added to the shock was that it turned out to be the source of Hana. It seems he really hates me. I was really confused as to how to explain everything to Sabrina to let her know that I wasn't that bad.

"The stepmother is evil. Just like in the movies. No stepmother loves her stepson. If Umi had died, Auntie would have thrown us out. Aye right? But why does Aunt have to be that bad? Why should I marry Abi again? Does Auntie know, if the child still has Umi, no need to have a stepmother." Sabrina is still blabbering, expressing opinions.

"Bi, will you help Auntie?"

"What help?"

"But Sabrina still has Umi. I don't want another Umi!"

"alright. We are friends so that Umi and the others are not angry with Auntie? Promise, if Sabrina wants to be a friend of Aunt and help Auntie then Auntie will not take Abi from you!"

"Promise?"

"InshaAllah."

"Means Auntie's leaving this house."

Fiufff, why is it so hard to negotiate a deal with this kid. I felt quite overwhelmed to face Sabrina who was indeed smart.

"Bi, Auntie promise, won't bother Umi. Aunty will move if that's what Sabrina wants." I said, trying to make a deal.

"All right."

"Then we're friends?"

"Yes!"

There are some things I asked Sabrina to tell Hana. I hope that by making an approach to this little girl then I can approach her brother too even though I'm not sure it will be easy.

***

"Why are you approaching my daughter?" someone was behind me. Ayu Mbak, he spoke in a high tone while holding Ibed. "You think by approaching her you can take over as queen of this house? Don't GR let alone piety, Mil. Being supportive doesn't mean you can take my place. You are still second, while I am first and my position cannot be defeated!" mbak Ayu

"What's the talk? I really don't understand." I said. Ayu's mind was too far away, I never thought as he alleged.

"Don't dodge Mila. You're looking for an opportunity to get close to my husband!"

"My husband? Ma'am, you realize, Ilham is also my husband!"

"What's? Oh, you dare to fight me now? Defrag ... Mila, by Allah I will remove you from our lives. You are like a thorn in the flesh. He lifted his degree even wanted to stab me. You really don't know yourself, you deserve to be poor, uneducated. How dare you dream high!" Ma'am Ayu shouted as loud as possible so that it made a shock. The most surprised of course Ibed because he was in the arms of mbak Ayu. The two-year-old screamed, even more hysterical than his mother.

At times like this I feel more sorry for Ibed. The two-year-old doesn't have to feel this. That's why I tried to take it from Ayu's mother in order to calm down, but Ayu's mother even stronger smother him in a sling until there was a scene of attraction between us.

"Name ... Aunt Mila. Leasin!" Sabrina who was not far from us immediately pushed me away from her mother and sister. But his efforts were not very successful because my power was much greater than Sabrina.

"Bi, let Auntie carry Ibed. Pity her for crying." I said.

"No. Cannot. Don't take Ibed from Umi. Aunt wicked, nasty, nasty. Sabrina is no longer friends with Auntie!" with her little hands, Sabrina hit me.

Times like this I'm totally overwhelmed. Ibed's worry was traumatized. Fortunately Mbok Asih and Farid came soon. Mbok Asih takes Ibed, while Farid calms Sabrina down. Now it's just me and Ayu.

"I won't let you linger here. You need to get out of our house. You're evil, evil, evil!" Ayu shouted back, then left us all for her room. While I was sitting limp, confused by such chaotic conditions.
