My Brother

My Brother
Go home


Ifa invited Ibnu and Toni to return to Sampang. The city on the island across from their birthplace. The three of them left after mama completed the business of Ibnu's school transfer letter.


With haru, Husein's uncle and Ratih's aunt took them off. But what can be done, they are carried by their own biological mother.


Often Rita cried asking for the whereabouts of Ibn or Toni. But after one week passed, Rita was used to playing without Ibnu.


"Hi!" Ika patted her best friend's shoulder gently sitting alone on her school bench.


"Yes!" Reply Beautiful cold as the weather this morning because the rain fell all night without stopping until before dawn.


"There's good news!" Ika smiled looking at the beautiful face.


"What news?" Tanya Indah started to pay attention to her interlocutor.


"Curious?" Ika meledek Indah's.


"Jude, if you don't want to tell a story!" Beautiful flat sahut.


"Ibn has come!" ketus Ika's.


"What?!" Shocked to happy mix.


"Yes, Ibn returned from Pasuruan with his mother and younger brother". Ika increase the volume of the sound from before.


"Well, can I come to your house after school? Just stop!" Beautifully cupped both her hands in front of the chest of the pleading omen.


"Yes, I can!" Ika allow Beautiful. "But just for a second?" Continue Ika.


"Yes, thanks!" Sweetest smile on tiny lips Beautiful.


Lovely piggybacking Ika with her bicycle. Arriving at the ika house, Indah did not see Ibnu because he had not returned to school. I went in to change her clothes. While Beautiful sitting on the terrace of the house Ika.


After changing clothes, Ika called Indah from inside her house to enter and sit in the living room of Ika's house. But Indah prefers to stay seated on the terrace hoping Ibnu to return home earlier than usual hours.


 


Ms. Ifa swept the porch of her house and saw a little girl sitting on the porch of her cousin's house. Ms. Ifa only looked at the back of the girl's body. Because Beautiful facing the street and turned her back to the house of Ms. Ifa.


I don't know what happened to Ms. Ifa, her heart was pounding. He finished his work and put the broom in its place.


Ifa leaves the house to Ika's house.


"Assalamualaikum, son! Ms. Ifa was standing right behind Indah.


"Wa'alaikum hail warahmatullahi wa barakatuh!' Lovely answered the greeting and turned her body towards the direction the voice came from and stood kissing the back of Ms. Ifa's hand.


Beautiful always appreciates older people, and always kisses hands when meeting older people including Ms. Ifa.


How surprised Miss Ifa because it turns out that the little girl in front of her is now beautiful. Ms. Ifa hugged him.


"How are you, son?" Ask Ms. Ifa who is still hugging Indah tightly.


"Alhamdulillah, fine Ma'am!" Beautiful replied who was surprised when Ms. Ifa arrived - suddenly hugged her tiny body tightly but she did not refuse because she also felt a warm embrace like a mother's embrace on her child.


After Ms. Ifa let go of her embrace, she took Indah to her house. But Indah rejected it politely because it was past the time to go home from school.


Lovely doesn't want to come home late and make Dad and mom worry about him.


Lovely farewell to Ika and Uminya who are still standing by the door of their house. Beautiful also did not forget to kiss the back of the hands of Ummi Ika and Bu Ifa who were also still standing next to him.


 


Beautiful sitting on the porch of the house Ika while waiting for her best friend to change clothes, wishing Ibn's return home earlier than the hour of return usually arrived - suddenly startled by the voice of a mother who was standing behind him and saying greetings.


Lovely replied to Ms. Ifa's greeting and turned her body around.


Again Beautiful was surprised when Ms. Ifa immediately hugged her, but the sense instantly disappeared.


"Why is this mother's embrace so warm, as warm as a mother's embrace of her biological child, when I don't know her?" Beautiful murmured while in the arms of Ms. Ifa.


 


In the beautiful house, Mother is waiting for Beautiful. Mother worries about her child who has not come home, but it has been an hour beyond the usual time to go home from school.


Seeing Indah get off her bike, Mother immediately opened the door and rained down Beautiful with some questions.


"Beautiful, where are you from, son? Why come home late? Are you sick? Are you nosebleed at school?" Ask me to panic.


"I'm fine, mom!" Lovely tried to answer one of her mother's questions.


"I just stopped by Ika's house to borrow a notebook because I didn't go to school yesterday, ma'am!" Beautiful half lying.


Yes half. Because in addition to wanting to meet Ibnu, Indah also did borrow Ika's notebook to copy the notes of yesterday's subjects when his headache relapsed so that Indah did not enter school.


Mr. Joseph who eavesdropped on the conversation his wife and child also felt relieved because nothing happened to his little girl.


Beautiful, go straight to the room and change clothes. Take Wudhu and immediately Pray Dhuhur. After that he went straight to the kitchen for lunch.


While Mr. Yusuf and Ms. Sri had entered the room for a day break.


"I'm sorry, mom. I lied for the good of all of us. I just want to find my true self. Even if I wasn't Father and Mother's son, I wouldn't have walked out of your lives. But on the contrary, if I really am the biological son of father and mother then I will forget about this matter". Lovely crying regretted his lie to mother and also heard by father from the window of the house.


In the afternoon, after sweeping the courtyard of the house, Beautiful bath and Ashar prayer then took two written books in his school bag. one of her books and another of Ika's books then copied the notes left behind yesterday.


Mom smiled seeing Beautiful copy her notes. It turns out that his worries were not right this afternoon.


It did not take long for him, because Beautiful is very good at writing. The writing is nice and neat even though it is written quickly and there is no typo in the least.


Before Maghrib, Indah was done with her notes and homework.


He was ready - ready to go to school. Pissing to mom and dad. Pick up Winda to go together to Musholla. Not only good at general science, Indah is also good at teaching. Smarter than his peers so that Mr. Joseph no longer needs to teach it. Just control it when Indah teaches at home.


Mr. Yusuf also needs to hone a little confidence owned by his little girl.
