HONEY OF MY WIFE'S CHOICE (RUBBY)
Maliq

"Nana's asleep, Mom?" ask Rubby to Maliq.

"Udah, Mom. Even though he had not eaten yet had gone to sleep." replied Maliq who went down the stairs.

"Mom can you say the same?"

"Can you, by the way?" Maliq approached the Mother, then sat down on the sofa.

"Seriously pursuing a scholarship?"

"Yes, Mom. Father said, Maliq wanted to be schooled elsewhere that would be independent, but Maliq did not want to. Maliq wants to go to the school now. Can help Bram take care of Nana. I know for myself, Bram also likes Jahilin Nana, where he is also often bullied at school." replied Maliq.

"But I went to school there a long time ago. The intention of the same Mother's father, so that Time can get new friends, and mingle with the new environment? Time won't."

"Ngga dapet new temen no papa, ma'am. The important thing is that Maliq is safe. Mom's busy, Dad's busy. So Maliq should take care of it. Maliq only keep Two adek really, Bayu same Adi more often the same Bik ratih." replied Bayu.

Rubby was silent, rubbing Maliq's hair.

"Don't you think Maliq was against Dad once? Maliq will prove, if Maliq is fine, although it must continue to school in the same place until Maliq graduated High School."

"Papa NGO. Yasudah, Maliq tried hard, to answer Dad's challenge. I'll understand." replied Rubby.

Maliq with a happy heart, accompanied his younger siblings to play, while waiting for their father to come home, and dinner together.

A few hours later.

"Assalamualaikum, Dad came home" said Edra who entered his house.

"Yeahah!" shouted the twins, who ran over and immediately hugged their father. While Bram, playing a messy game.

"Kan... Just play, keep playing. Beresin did not want. I'm tired again." lamented Bram.

"Bram why nag yourself?" ask Maliq who came out of his room.

"Diagn... The twins, stifling the chest." replied Bram.

"Yaudah, help me ayok." said Maliq.

After everything was done, and Edra had already cleaned up. They gathered at the table, and Rubby scooped rice on each plate to eat together.

"Where's it?" ask Edra.

"Nana was asleep playing, yeah. Wanna wake up pity, later Maliq kedamarnta to make a bribe." replied Maliq.

"okay... What about Maliq, so you want to go for a scholarship?" ask Edra.

"So dong. It was my challenge." replied Maliq.

"Why don't you want to go to the pesantren? Maliq stay in, eat and sleep there."

Edra intended to include Maliq kepesantren, to develop his religious knowledge, and train Maliq independence. However, even though Maliq actually refused, he did not want to accept it. It's just that he was reluctant to talk to his father.

Edra who knows, if in fact Maliq refused, gave a challenge to Maliq. That if Maliq wants to stay in the old school, then he must get a scholarship there. Therefore, Maliq tried so hard to accept the challenge.

After Maliq died, Rubby told me why Maliq would not leave. Edra tried to understand, but still with his initial decision.

Maliq is actually a good boy and so according to. But when his heart says it doesn't want to for obvious reasons, he won't do it, and will try his hardest to resist. Likewise in this state, when his Sisters who became his biggest reason, so willing to say no to the decision of the father.

A week passed after that incident. This morning, Maliq prepared to go to school to do his final exam.

Enthusiastically, Maliq worked on all the problems he faced, and was so confident in being able to get the best grades, and got the scholarship.

Hours of rest, Maliq's not out. He went back to reading his book in class. Then Nana came to him.

"Mas, this is Nana drinking" said Nana, by giving her a bottle of drink."

"Thank you the most beautiful Mas" praised Maliq to Nana, who is still in school at the PAUD.

"Yes, Nana's beautiful. Nana is a woman herself. Come back, come back in. Nana wants to learn how to pinter like Mas." replied Nana.

Later that afternoon, Maliq picked up Nana and Bram in their respective classes. Then hold them waiting for Mr. Bima's invitation. After that, they picked up the school, which was quite far from the schools of Maliq, Nana and Bram.

"Where are they, sir. Usually waiting to be raided." asked Maliq.

"Maliq can be tengokin?" pinta Pak bima's.

"Could... Bentar huh?" maliq said, then went down and looked for the twins.

Maliq entered the school, then looked for their classroom which was located in the back, away from the security guard post and the teacher's room.

Closer to the classroom, Maliq heard the sound of crying from the class, along with the sound of table buzz as if there was a fight there.

Maliw ran fast, then saw Bayu and Adi were squatting and crying in fear, and their senior who seemed to be sitting in the middle of Junior High School, was shaking his waist in front of them.

"What are you guys with my brother?" shout Maliq.

"Massa.!" Shouted adi, who immediately ran towards Maliq, while Bayu could not catch up, because his sleeve was pulled by the boy.

"You, Masnya? The rich man's son? Share money. You have no pity on poor children like us, want to buy snacks the same quota hp aja can not" said the child, by playing with Bayu's ears.

Maliq so ignited his emotions, when he saw the incident, and without much to say again, immediately approached and beat them all, until the nose of one of them bleeding. Adi quickly ran to call Pak bima.

"I don't like it the most, when my sister you're ignorant. Because what? I never hit my sister at all, never hit her. Go, or you guys faint?" maliq said, with uncontrollable emotions.

They all left, only Maliq alone, sat on the floor, and pondered.

"If you think gini. Dad must be angry, Dad must not care anymore about the challenge. And I'll take him to the school. O Allah, Maa'f, Maliq is wrong." he murmured, with tears flowing down the river.
