I'm a Qualified Old Virgin
Illicit

After talking to her mother Rosa came out looking for the whereabouts of Syifa. He faintly heard the sound of people chatting in the back. He immediately went to the kitchen.

"Shyifa ...!" the thrill of entering the kitchen.

"Rosa, are you done talking to Mama?" ask Rosita when she sees Rosa.

"Yes, sister, I told mama to rest!" answer Rosa.

"You also rest! You must be tired, right? your room is still well preserved Rosa. Mama always asked me to clean your room" Rosita said.

Rosa was silent again feeling moved. Didn't expect if all this time it turns out his family still remembers him. "Thank you, brother?"

"Together, Ros. Get your son to rest!" rosita's orders.

There are a lot of questions in his mind. However, he paused to ask her now. Because he understood if they needed a break after traveling far away.

Rosalina nodded then immediately headed towards her room. How surprised he was when he reached his room and found that his room looked not much changed from the last time he left. Even his things were still awake in his place.

"This is a picture of Mama? it was beautiful when my mom was young!" syifa said when she found a picture frame attached to the wall of her mother's room.

Rosa approached her daughter's side and smiled looking at her picture when she was young. There was a feeling of happiness that could not be expressed in words while reminiscing with his past in this house.

"Ma, do you have a picture of Syifa's dad? Syifa wants to see it!" ask Syifa.

Hearing that Rosa's face instantly became grim. He didn't know what to say to his daughter.

"Ec ... Syifa, Mama's head feels dizzy. Mama wants to rest first, right?" rosa reasoned.

Syifa nodded in response. She knew that her mother wanted to avoid her questions. However, Syifa also did not want to force her mother to speak if it would make her mother sad.

Although he was sure if there was something bitter event that happened concerning his mother in the past until his mother never wanted to tell him about his father. Syifa then took off her niqob and laid herself beside her mother.

......................

Sayup-sayup heard the sound of Adzan reverberating. Rosa woke up and saw Syifa still sleeping next to her with a tired face. Rosa woke Syifa up slowly so as not to be surprised. Not long after Syifa woke up.

"Wake, Fa. Let's pray ashar first!" rosa said to her daughter.

"Yes, Ma!" syifa replied obediently. He immediately put his niqob back on and then went out of the room to take ablution in the back bathroom.

After that they took turns praying in the room. Because the room is quite narrow. So it does not fit if the prayers are in unison.

After performing the prayer Rosa out of her room to the kitchen. Rosita is finishing cooking it.

"Sister didn't take a nap? quickly cook the food!" rosa said.

"Just relax, I'm just idle so there's plenty of time to rest!" said Rosita. "Oh yeah Ros, tell me who Syifa's biological father is? is he Edward's son?" rosita asked half a whisper.

Rosalina fell silent then nodded slowly. "Yes, Brother!"

Rosita appears to silence her mouth she did not expect if Rosalina had been bearing children she contained outside marriage due to Edward's actions.

"Did Edward ever harass you before?" ask Rosita.

"It is fitting how you live your days when you find you are pregnant with Syifa. And where have you been all this time? ask Rosita to know.

"I live in the city XXX, precisely in the Arab village, Brother. Someone helped me and took me to an old widow, where I lived. But now Fatimah is dead. His house was requested back by his heirs."

"Regarding my pregnancy, of course everything that happened was not easy for me to get back up from the slump. A lot of trials happened to me. But I was lucky to have good people who helped me. Although many scorned me and insulted me, but in the end I was able to stay there because of the support of people who were good to me and considered me like his own brother," said Rosalina.

"Sister is really sorry Rosa, because you have to endure all that suffering alone!" rollover with regret.

"So, Brother, everything has happened no longer need to discuss it. I don't want to remember that dark story back. Let's start with a new chapter as a family that loves and cares for each other!"

"Well, but why didn't you tell Syifa about Edward?" ask Rosita.

"Come on, sister, I don't feel ready to say that to Syifa. I don't want him to know about the dark events. Syifa had even been harassed to the point of being depressed, I didn't want her to go back traumatized if I remembered the bad past that had happened to her and happened to me!" rosa said at length.

Rosita nodded in understanding. She knew that she herself was having a hard time being abandoned and divorced by her husband. Fortunately, he returned to find a man who until now accepted what he was.

"Yes, let's eat first. Call Syifa to eat together, you must be hungry because you haven't eaten since lunch. I've cooked a lot for you!"

"Okay, thank you!"

Before being called Syifa first came to the dining table. Rosa scoops the rice onto her plate and also on Syifa's plate. However, when he was about to get Syifa the food that was cooked by Rosita, Syifa immediately prevented it.

"Wait, Ma!" he held onto Rosa's arm.

Syifa checked on Rosita's cooking. It turns out Rosita cooks chicken opor to welcome them. Knowing that their beliefs were different Syifa hesitated to eat them. Because, it could be that the food is not halal.

When Rosita left them, Syifa whispered to her mother.

"This is chicken, right? we can't eat it, Ma! what if it's not halal? not necessarily Aunty Rosita bought it from a meat seller who slaughtered it halal."

"Astagfirullah, mama almost forgot about it. You're right Syifa, so how is this not for us to eat? and be honest with your appointment" Rosa said.

Syifa stood up to look at the food in the refrigerator.

"Ma, there's eggs. Let's cook the eggs for the side dishes!" syifa

"True, yes already let Mama who cooked Syifa. You just sit down!" rosa's orders.

Heard there was a frying sound. Rosita then heads to the kitchen to check. He frowned when he saw Rossa cooking. The food she had cooked looked completely untouched.

"Rosa, why are you cooking eggs? you guys don't like chicken?" ask Rosita.

"Sorry Brother, it's not that I don't appreciate what Brother gives us, I know Big Brother intends well on us, but I can't eat a whole mess that isn't necessarily halal ...," speak with care.

Rosita snorted violently hearing that.

"That's weird Rosa, you've even changed so much! does your religion teach you to reject the good of others?!" asked Rosita with a little annoyance.

"It's not like that, Auntie. But we Muslims have their own rules. For the food we eat must be slaughtered in the name of Allah. We don't mean to disrespect kindness, Auntie. Suppose it is not InsyaaAllah we do not dispute it, Aunt. We'll eat the rice too, don't we have this egg too, Auntie. We'll eat it. Please don't misunderstand me, Auntie!" Syifa.
