Five years have passed, Asha's life in the village where the Bik Ika family lived, is getting better. The woman now also has her own business, which is recycling used items to be creations and can be reused. Like making bags or decorations on the wall, and beautiful artificial flowers. He had sent her out of town, and promoted her through his and Amira's social media.
Asha was very grateful to the family of Bik Ika, who had been willing to help him and put him at home. In fact, Asha's money was enough to buy a simple house in the village. But the woman did not want to. He still wants to serve the family Bik Ika who has been very meritorious to him.
Bik Ika herself felt bad because neither she nor Amira were working anymore. They rely on the life of Asha. Although Asha had said many times that it did not matter to him. Amira also works for him. Although the work is not heavy. Tiara herself is currently in college, but occasionally helps Asha as well to make ordered items and deliver them.
"Aunty's daughter why did she frown so much? Make the bag from earlier is also not finished-finished, even though only one. What's up?" asked Asha who had just sat beside Tiara.
The girl had continued to frown, even occasionally venting her frustration at the results of her crafts, until finally it was not finished. Asha who saw from a distance was approaching, she was sure something must have happened to her nephew.
"I'm the same sprain Mama, cook me deket same temen guy just can't. We are just friends" Tiara replied with a frown.
"Rarely just friends? How come Auntie feels there's a smell of something?" Asha deliberately wanted to tempt her nephew so that the child would be honest.
"What smell, Auntie? Nothing," he said, trying to turn his eyes the other way. He was afraid that Asha could read his facial expression.
"You don't have to lie to Auntie. Aunt was young too! Actually your Mama's intentions are good, she doesn't want you to get entangled in a free association. Nowadays it is very sad association, Aunt alone is very afraid to see it. Do not let you follow along like them," said Asha with a shady smile. "And don't let you be the same as me" he continued in his heart.
The woman perfectly understood what Amira wanted. As a person who had made a mistake, of course he knew the consequences and Asha did not want Tiara to also get the same thing as she felt. Although what he experienced was not entirely wrong he was because indeed it was the actions of people who were evil and irresponsible. However, the woman tries to come to terms with the circumstances.
Although he never knew who the father of Khairi was, it didn't matter because for him it was better not to know than to end up hurting his son. It was better for the boy to know that his father was dead, but so far Asha has always told him that his father is working out of town. I don't know why those words were slipping on his lips. Though he could have said that if his father had died, it would have been better for Khairi and not expecting his father again.
"But I also want to be like other friends, Auntie. Got a girlfriend and can go anywhere and get a present."
"You have your own money to buy whatever you want. You also get money from your mom. Is that less?" ask Asha because Tiara is always given a salary by him according to the job of the girl.
He did not want to give money for free to Tiara because he did not want the child to become spoiled and did not appreciate work, but that did not mean the woman also never gave anything. Asha would give something if Tiara really needed it.
"But it's different, Aunt. I want a gift from the most special person."
"Then, let's buy you something. What do you want?"
"Why should Auntie! Ah, Auntie doesn't seem to understand how I feel" Tiara lamented.
"What harm? Is this aunt not a special person for you?"
"It's not like that, Auntie!"
"So you said you wanted someone special to give you a gift, why don't you?"
"Not so, Auntie!"
"Yes, Yes, Auntie knows." Asha turned her gaze forward. Tiara waited for her aunt to continue her words. "There will be a time for you if you want to get a gift from a special person. If you are ready, why not marry directly? It will keep you from slander and also sin."
"But I'm still in college, I haven't thought about marriage yet either."
"Then put your mind away about gifts and men, because all of that will only ruin your future. Better now think about your ideals, reach as high as possible. Make your wishes come true and make your parents proud. Although your father could not see in this world, surely in the afterlife he would feel happy to see his daughter successful even in her absence."
Tiara felt guilty because she was already angry at her mother. Now Asha's words made him realize that what his mother said was also for the future to be better. It's just that he is selfish, too concerned with his pleasure for a moment. Asha said, his future is still very far away. Tiara should be able to make her family proud.
The girl immediately hugged Asha. Now he realized that he was too childish because he was jealous of friends who already had love. Actually it was also not very important, there was still a lot that Tiara had to pursue. It was not just a momentary pleasure like the tantenya had said earlier.
"Thank you, Auntie, for making me realize I was wrong."
"Alhamdulillah, if you know the place."
"Yes, Aunt. Now I want to see Mama first, I want to apologize to her."
Asha interrupts in response, Tiara soon searches for the whereabouts of her mother. Asha himself looked at the departure of his nephew with a smile. Until he was surprised by the voice of a child's call, which always made his day more colorful.
"Mama!" shouted the little boy who had just come home to play. Who else if not Khairi.
