"Well, are you coming to the office?" sarah asked as she touched Asiah's arm.
"Well, come home!" answer Asiah.
"Dear, listen! I have to go to the office first. Asiah's coming with me to the office, yeah!" Joseph tried to persuade his daughter.
"Asiah at home with Zulaikha," replied Asiah firmly want to go home.
"Sister Zulaikha, still in school. He came home in the afternoon." Joseph explained that Asiah wanted to come with him.
"Call Brother Zulaikha first, Dad." Asiah outlined her embrace, but it was still as hot as possible.
Joseph called Zulaikha. In the first ringing, the call was instantly answered.
"Assalammualaikum, Zulaikha." Hail Yusuf.
[Va'alaikumsalam.]
"Well, did you or Dad talk to Zulaikha's sister?" joseph asked Asiah.
"Well, Dad" replied Asiah.
"Assalammualaikum, Brother Zulaikha."
[Va'alaikumsalam, Asiah.]
"Sir Zulaikha, where are you now?"
[Sister is at school. Why?]
"Want to go home ... When's the brother coming home?" ask Asiah while sobbing.
[Sister is coming home soon! Would you like to wait for Brother at home or Brother to take you to school?]
"Will wait for my sister at home" replied Asiah.
[Yes, already. Wait for Brother fifteen minutes, yes!]
"Yes, Brother. Asiah will wait fifteen minutes."
After greeting, Asiah handed the phone to his father. She is no longer crying.
"Dad, let's go home! Says Brother Zulaikha wait fifteen minutes," Asiah said as he looked at his father with a pleading gaze.
"Mother Teacher, Asiah let's go home, yes. Sorry for the trouble" Joseph said to the two teachers who were still standing there.
"It's okay, Mr. Joseph. Sorry for our negligence" replied one of Asiah's teachers.
"It's also kids, ma'am. There is a time to make friends, fight and get better. Sometimes ordinary things can make them marahan," continued Sarah who has felt sorry for Asiah since.

Joseph accompanied Asiah to eat while waiting for Zulaicha. Sarah also ate at Joseph's apartment.
"Darling, is his chest still hurting?" joseph asked worriedly. Asiah was silent as if he was thinking about something.
"Dad, has Asiah become a bad boy?" Asiah asked back.
"No, Honey. Asiah is the son of a sholeh father. Why" Joseph pulled Asiah and sat him in his lap.
"Said Adam the child who doesn't have a mother will be a bad boy." Asiah spoke again with a cry.
"God doesn't like bad boys, Dad. Only the prayers of the children of Sholeh will be heard and granted by God. If Asiah becomes a bad boy .. will not be able to pray for Mother." Asiah spoke in an awkward manner while holding her chest.
"Pity Mother, Dad. Because no one prayed for it. This is sick ... Father," Asiah said still crying and pointing at his chest.
"Darling, you're a good boy. Mother there must also be happy because Asiah always pray for him every day. Asiah after every prayer always pray for Daddy and Mommy, right?"
Asiah nodded. Joseph kissed his daughter's forehead. "Means Asiah son of sholeh because always pray for his parents. Asiah was also a good child because he did not like to fight with other friends" continued Joseph.
"But Asiah had a fight with Adam. Asiah ... so bad boy," said Asiah still sobbing.
"No. Asiah defends a friend who is humiliated because his toys have been broken. Asiah the good boy wanted to remind the wrong people to apologize" Joseph replied.
"So, Asiah's not a bad boy, is he, Dad?" ask Asiah.
"Well, that's a good boy. Father and Mother's favorite son" replied Joseph with a smile.
"Well, love Daddy and Mommy." Asiah hugged Joseph tightly.
"Father and Mother also love Asiah." Joseph returned the princess' embrace.
The doorbell sounds. Joseph opened the door and Zulaicha came with a breath.
"Assalammualavall. Ouch, Om .. tired. I ran up the stairs" said Zulaikha as soon as he entered Yusuf's apartment.
"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Why not take the elevator?" joseph asked and gave a glass of water to the girl next door. You can imagine running up the stairs to the seventh floor.
"Lift is having a breakdown. That's why I ran up the emergency stairs." Zulaikha kept the glass that had been filled.
"Sister!" Asiah hugged Zulaikha.
"Why are you crying? Same story as Brother!" Zulaikha led Asiah to the sofa.
Asiah also tells the chronology when fighting to fight with Adam. Joseph also listened carefully to the full version of the story.
"So, Adam pushed you and then pushed back again?" Zulaikha gave a thumbs up to Asiah.
"And Brother said if there is evil with us, reply with the same thing. So, Asiah pushed back again. Adam hit Asiah ... Asiah hit back too."
Joseph widened his eyes. She could not believe that her little daughter had become such a bar because of Zulaikha's talk. Now he knew why Adam, who was much bigger than Asiah, was crying earlier.
"O Allah, why did Asiah listen to Zulaikha?" yusuf muttered then beristighfar.
"Good Asiah! Aunt Sarah support you! Sometimes Adam must also be reciprocated so that he will not do that again with others," said Sarah follow-up support.
Joseph became more and more ill at hearing the people instead supporting Asiah's rude actions. Even if it was his self-defense.
"Darling, listen to me. Evil does not always have to be avenged again. If, Asiah's friend is naughty, you tell him that what he has done is wrong, advise your friend not to do bad things. You don't retaliate violence with violence again, dear. As long as it can be answered by saying do not reply with similar actions." Obviously Yusuf. He doesn't want his son to be an avenger.
Asiah listened to his father's advice well. Then he nodded his head in a sign of understanding.
"This is also true for you, Zulaikha!" Joseph looked towards the girl in the white-gray school uniform.
"Yes, Om." Zulaikha retorted softly and lowered his head.
"Yes, I'm off to work again. Asiah's in the same house as Zulaikha's sister, yes!" Joseph kissed Asiah's cheek before getting off the couch.
"I don't kiss my cheek too!" goda Zulaikha pointed at Joseph with his index finger.
Joseph widened his eyes and stared intently at Zulaikha. The girl even smiled amusedly because it was good to make Om widower feel annoyed because of his actions. A thing that is now on Zulaikha's agenda in seeking attention from people he likes.
"If you want to eat, there is still rice and side dishes in the refrigerator. Keep warming if you want to eat," said Joseph before leaving.
