Mother To Nasha
Chapter 6

...~Happy Reading~...

“Good morning Umma, Abi .. “ greet Khalifa in the morning as she approaches her parents at the dinner table.

As usual, Khalifa was about to go to school and had breakfast with her parents. Now, the atmosphere of the house is not as crowded as it used to be or a few days ago.

In the past, when his two sisters were not married, the house was always crowded. Moreover, the second brother who is always noisy and can always melt the atmosphere. And a few days ago, when the two families of the brother still stay there to defend his condolences to the family of kiyai Abdul over his death, the son-in-law.

Maira and Yusuf and his small family returned to Pondok until seven days later they returned to Jakarta. Be umma Chila and Abi Mike feel happy because her children and grandchildren are together.

“Good morning Dear .. “ reply umma Chila directly pour a glass of milk to her youngest daughter, “You want breakfast what hem?”

“Khalifa diet Umma, want to eat bread aja.” Answer her while releasing her backpack to put it on the chair next to her.

“Oh Yes Khalifa, so how do you decide Dear?” tanya umma Chila while giving a piece of bread that has been given grated cheese to her daughter, because she knows her youngest daughter is not so fond of sweet.

“So where are you going to continue your studies? So you continue in the place of brother Maira or brother Yusuf?” umma Chila, now makes Khalifa speechless.

The lecture? He hadn't talked about it to his parents in a long time. Last time, maybe a year ago. When he found out that Gus Hilal was married, Khalifa was eager to go far and continue to study at Maira's place of college first.

But now it feels all different. I don't know why he felt so heavy when he had to leave the cottage. Especially out of town even abroad, whether he can be far from his parents.

Old folks? It is true that makes Khalifa worried because he does not want to be away from his parents. But ... why is there something more to his heart, which he believes is not about parents.

“But your school is staying a little while, dear? Isn't next week your exam?” tanya umma Chila who was directly nodding her head by Khalifa, “Think well dear. Cairo or Jogja, but umma hope you want to study in Bandung only. In order not to go too far, from Umma.”

“Umma want Khalifa to lecture here?” said the girl immediately looked up and looked at her mother who looked sad when remembering going to stay again by her daughter.

“The decision is in your hands. Abi and Umma can only support you dear.”

“But Umma wants Khalifa college where?” ask Khalifa again and now somehow her voice sounds a little pushy.

“Bandung,” replied umma Chila was a little hesitant because she did not want to impress forcing or arranging her child.

It's true, all this time abi Mike and umma Chila never arranged or told her son to this and that. Both agreed to give freedom in terms of choosing for their children. Therefore, this time he also did not want to force Khalifa to remain in bandung. Because he does not want to look like favoritism, because it gives his two brothers a choice while the youngest must settle in Bandung.

However, who would have thought that it turned out that the girl actually agreed to the mother's request with a face that looked very cheerful and enthusiastic, “Well if it wanted Umma and Abi. Khalifa to study in Bandung.”

“sayang, are you serious?” tanya umma Chila frowned her forehead.

“Of course!” answer his smile widely, “Khalifa wants to be a submissive and devoted child for Abi and Umma. Alright then, Khalifa will be leaving for school now. Abi Assalamualaikum, Umma. Cup.” Imbuh Khalifa ended with a kiss of hand and cheek to his parents.

I don't know what makes Khalifa look very cheerful, whereas since then umma Chila was very was was when she said she wanted her youngest daughter to settle in Bandung. But why does the girl look so happy? Thought it in the heart.
