Sekar and Salim had just returned from the hospital after checking the contents of Sekar. As per the previous examination, they will be awarded twins. And at this time, the examination was already seen more clearly than the examiner in the beginning first.
"Have you asked the doctor about taking Umrah? Is it allowed?", asked Galuh.
"Alhamdulillah already sis, but later after entering the second trimester so the mother's womb has begun to be strong" answered Salim.
The family enjoyed dinner together.
"Oh.. thanks atuh, later let Brother take care of everything. Coincidentally Abang already have acquaintances in the hajj and umroh bureau in the district."
"Yes bang, thanks in advance."
Syam listened to the chatter of adults who were talking about his brother's vow to send umrah to their parents.
Galuh looked at the sister who did not understand at all.
"Adek wants to go Umrah with Abah as your mother?", Galuh asked Sham until the handsome boy was a little surprised.
"Did? Uh..ngga brother!", replied Sham. Galuh thought, his sister was silent because she wanted to go to the holy land like her parents. Apparently not! I don't know what the boy was thinking.
From the bottom of the heart, Galuh actually has the same desire. There was no chance to set foot in Mecca. Hopefully next time you can give the opportunity to go to the temple. Including othors and readers' Muslims in particular. Aamiin 🙏🙏🙏
"Why then?" asked Galuh. Syam.
"What's the matter?", Lingga rubbed Sham's shoulder because he was the one sitting closest to his sister-in-law. Sham looked up for a moment.
"Ehem.that, about the invitation to eat together with the governor, Sham plan to be accompanied by papa Arya."
All eyes were on Sham. Maybe in his heart he wondered.
"Papa Arya?", asked Galuh. Syam nodded and smiled faintly.
"Yes, papa Arya is ready."
"It is not the deck, you can ask for the victory of Abang or Abah!" said Lingga.
Again, Sham just smiled.
"With nothing bang, papa also seneng kok nemenin Sham and no objection at all. If you have brother, Kasian brother keepin Ganesh alone. Mother also definitely needs more Abah, especially lately the mother often nausea and vomiting. Aren't you?"
Sham's face was indeed smiling, but they all knew what the boy felt like.
"Syam is done, go straight to the room. Books for tomorrow morning."
Syam got up from his stool and climbed the stairs to his room. The dining table was suddenly quiet.
The table dwellers were dissolving in their respective thoughts. Is it true that Sham is wise and seikhlas?
.

[Yes ..]
Arya turned off her phone connection from someone who contacted her earlier. The man went back to watching football matches between local clubs.
He is not a true sports fan. But the events at other stations contain soap operas, gossip and political events. He won't take a headache. So to release fatigue, just watch the sport of ball grabbing.
"Drink Pa!", Gita puts warm green tea in front of her husband.
"Why do you want to be sham?", asked Gita.
Arya shook her head slowly.
"What then? Kasian Sham dong Pa!", said Gita who seemed to feel what in the position of Sham. Which must be placed into 'understanding' in every situation and circumstance.
Arya embraces Gita's shoulder.
"Indeed papa can not nemenin Sham, Ma. Who will mom be the same? Staying in Lingga?"
Gita nodded quickly.
"Already, mama don't think too much about heavy things. Syam is fine, okay?!"
"But Kasian Sham Pa, how about...!?"
"Already Ma, mama calm down!", said Arya again then focus on watching television.

"Ma, where are we going, Ma?", asked Zea when she saw her mother packing clothes into a suitcase.
"Healing is Ze, the time to work continues!", replied Helen smiling.
"Where is Mama going?", asked Zea again.
Helen sat on her bed next to a suitcase filled with their clothes.
"It's a nice place where we can regroup in a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere!" says Helen. Zea is getting confused.
"What's your birthday, mommy and dad want a honeymoon? Zea's in residence?"
"Honeymoon what the hell is Ze!?", Helen flicked softly on Zea's forehead.
"Yes the end of rich mama again play guessing!", Zea flicked her lips and left her mother's room.
"Lho, ma? This is a suitcase? Where are you going?", asked Glen.
"Family vacationer Pa!", replied Helen smiling as she lowered her suitcase.
Would he take us on a long vacation? Why carry all the suitcases? Inner Glen.

The morning greeted. The sun is already beginning to shine in the far east. The atmosphere of the house looks alive again. Moreover, there are already some garden workers who come early in the morning.
Delivery of vegetables early today leaves vegetables that can still be sorted. There are some garden employees who use the remaining sorting for personal cooking because Lingga and Galuh told him to. Rather than vegetables that are rotten and so rubbish, it is better in by as long as it is still worth it.
Sham down the stairs to the dining table. If it's dinner, they can usually get together. But not if it's morning. Not all residents of the house have breakfast once like Syam who is a schoolboy.
"Adek, would you like to bring a bekel?", asked Sekar who was already in the kitchen.
"May you!", replied Sham. The pregnant woman prepared the rice and the side dish. Don't forget to drink and snack.
"Want to ride a bike?", asked Galuh who had just arrived at the dinner table.
"Yes, brother, have made the same agreement with Deni!", replied Sham.
"Sir....?", call Galuh.
"Syam nothing kok brother, if you want to ask how sham!"
Galuh rubbed the top of Sham's head and hugged his sister's head. In his peck repeatedly hair half wet Syam which scented the scented shampoo.
"Sister..!", call Sham shirih. Galuh who raised Sham, natural if he knew what his sister felt like.
"Sorry brother, it should be brother who understands you. But..."
"Udah, Sham said nothing. Brother don't think about anything Syam feels. Sham is fine!", said Sham kekeh.
Slowly Galuh's embrace loosened.
"Even once you're big and getting older, in the eyes of your brother is still your baby brother's sister!", Galuh pinch the left right cheek of Sham. Syam smiled faintly.
"Thank you, brother, always be a tranquilizer for Syam!" said Syam.
Galuh did not answer, only the haircut on Sham that he did. Sekar has finished preparing provisions for Syam.
Because using a bicycle takes a long time, Syam departs early. If using a bicycle, Syam and his friends must pass through the Glen factory. Some of his friends who already know if the owner of the factory is the birth father of Syam often mocked the handsome boy.
High-level delusions are often thrown from those tiny mouths. Whether it was her son Glen, would have eaten with a golden spoon. Not to mention about clothes and random things that become a fantasy of children his age.
Sham just shook weakly. What should he be proud of?
It looks like Syam and his friends are almost too late because they just parked the bike, the doorbell rang.
All four of them went to class. Sham's gaze was immediately fixed on the right bench behind him.
Cheerful hasn't come in yet? Inner Sham. The lesson began, but Merry was still invisible stem of his nose.
Syam was surprised his new friend did not go to school.
Is Merry sick? Inner Sham again.

The day that will arrive. Lingga took Sham to school because he was going to leave with Mr. Rama. The plan is that guardians are allowed to participate but because before the meal, there will be a seminar on literacy. So it would be better if the guardian followed rather than waiting too long.
The expectations of Sham are not very high. If later Arya can not, Syam has also prepared himself not to be disappointed.
A few hours passed, Sham and Rama arrived at the meeting hall that looks crowded. Syam and Pak Rama both carry backpacks and laptop bags.
They attended the seminar first. In between the break and lunch, there are invited guests from Jakarta.
Sham and Rama were busy discussing until the break was over. When the discussion with his teacher was over, Sham focused his attention forward.
His eyes were fixed on the figure who was looking towards him with a smile. He waved his hand slowly at Sham.
Syam was stunned for a few seconds until then the voice of the figure was heard filling the seminar room.
Apparently.he is one of the publisher owners who worked with the event organizing committee wrote it.
The question and answer session also took place. Actually, there are many things that Syam wants to ask, but the figure in front of him actually makes it awkward. Eventually, Sham chose silence.
Finished the question and answer, the seminar was closed with some entertainment. Sham and Rama chose to leave the hall to the mosque of the building to rest. Later in the afternoon, they will have dinner with the governor and stay at the hotel.
Sham took a slow step until a call to him made him stop and turn his head.
"Syam!", call him with a smile. I don't know what to comment. He was just stunned looking at that figure walking closer to him.
