Not Ustadz I (Unrevised)
1² Hello Neighbor

The sun barged in through the sidelines of my room curtain, as I opened the window how many cold breezes from outside entered without excuse. My house was on a hill so today's winter breeze was not unfamiliar to me, the white smoky breath gust proved how cold the air was this morning.

"Meoww~"

The soft sound of my cat Heli makes me a little excited to go through the day, how God makes a beautiful cat with a beautiful form. Although sometimes there are abandoned until the eyelashes are lost, but they are still beautiful living creatures.

When he began to indulge by playing his legs and stroking his back that is where I poured food for him. It's nice to see that mouth munching on part-time work I do every time I go home from school until night.

I brewed coffee and toasted two loaves of leftover peanut butter last night, enjoying the food in the morning was a lot of fun. Amidst the feeling of pleasure there must be something waiting for you out there, either trouble or luck.

A moment later after I thought about it, it was true that my noisy neighbor began to act out with his daughter.

"Papa~ I don't want to go to school! I don't want to shower~! I'm lazy to go to school!! No school!" Shouted the little boy who lived with my neighbor and my friend.

As soon as I finished my bread and a warm cup of coffee, I put on a long-sleeved sweater and long pants and a hijab to cover my nightgown. When I opened the door of the house, of course the voice of my neighbor's little boy was quite loud.

"It's gonna be a good day.." I murmured for a moment in the morning air.

I walked to the front of my neighbor's house and knocked on his door. There was a distinctive hoarse voice from the man in the house, of course I understand people his age must be tired of looking after small children from morning until night.

"Who is that?" Ask from behind the door.

"It's me, the next door neighbor.." My reply smiled widely.

He opened the door, however many times I saw his face still surprised me. 'Young people seem to have children?' I think I just saw his age is still my age, maybe a high school student.

"What's wrong?" Ask in a cold tone.

"Oh, your daughter.."

My talk was cut off by him, his face looked so tired but I thought he was really looking after his daughter.

"I'm sorry, he's hard to get to school. I persuaded him who sulked because he was not obeyed his wishes, but I just did not want him to overeat the sweet food... I'm sorry for the inconvenience, please don't report us." The consecutive words that came out of his mouth made me feel a little guilty.

"No, I just want to know your daughter. Besides I just moved last month and haven't had time to greet you, introduce my name Nikle Amanda or you can call me Misako. Sorry, I don't bring food.maybe later." I said with a smile, although he looked surprised, I don't think this is a bad thing.

While he was still sculpting, my eyes were fixed on the little girl hiding behind his feet. She looks beautiful and cute, maybe if she grows up she will become more beautiful.

"Hallo little girl, my name is Misako.. What's yourname?" I asked involuntarily as soon as I saw the boy's face.

I did not get a response from him, actually it is certain that he will not answer because I am a stranger to him.

"A-ahh sorry, I usually play with children so pretty familiar with your child.sorry yes." Ungkapku.

"Oh he's not my son, he's just my nephew. His habit of calling me papa makes me a little troubled but I'm used to it.. Hikari, let's not ignore this brother.." He said that changed when he spoke to me, proving that he was very gentle with his daughter.

"... I'm..."

I who was waiting for his response was happy to get it, he began to dare to look at me by showing his entire face. She's so cute, that's what I thought.

".. Hikari Raiden, my name is H-hikari. Are you sister's boyfriend?" Her question left me silenced by a thousand languages as if my mouth had just been sewn into an invisible thread.

"Buk~ sister is not dating. Sister only lives with a beautiful cat, you want to see?" I reply to ask him back.

"Wahh~ sister has a cat? I want! I'm going to sister's house~"

When he said that, I saw a glimpse of the face of the man who was silent for a moment and then nodded in understanding.

"All right, but you have to take a shower and go to school? We'll play with big sister's cat again, how?" I asked him who was reciprocated a passionate nod from him.

After greeting each other properly, I was allowed to enter my neighbor's house. His name is Ryu Raiden, so I wonder why his name is so cool. I was forced to have breakfast again because Ryu cooked food for me as well while preparing Hikari breakfast, I didn't think he was good at cooking. We talked lightly about school and home affairs.

"Misako, is that your real name?" Ryu asked on the sidelines of our chat.

"Oh, no. My real name is Nikle Amanda, but for some reason I was called Misako by my friends. I'm also curious about you, said you were still in school but have been told to take care of your sister-in-law's child?"

"This is my niece, I happen to like my sister-in-law to leave her son to me. Since it's usual to be with me, Hikari finally calls me papa." Clearly that's hard to digest for a new brain like me.

"Oh, I get it.." I reply a little doubt.

I understood that he was a teenager still in school, seeing that youthful look at the beginning of the meeting. I think his wife would be proud of his achievements in taking care of the child.

'Surely she's hard to learn because she's not with a child, I think I should help her.' That's how I thought, we ended up spending time chatting.

After seducing Hikari to take a shower and prepare for school, we finally decided to drive her up to the kindergarten gate. For her four-year-old age Hikari is quite intelligent in assessing circumstances, she even uses formal language when with me. Although the distance between us was still far away, I felt this relationship was a little close because of my cat.

'.. Thank you Mia, you are the best..' My mind was relieved that the boy wanted to play and was well persuaded.

I saw at a glance that the magnificent building was too big for just a kindergarten, I guess it was like an elite school.

"Thank you very much Misako, you helped me a lot today. It's lucky there's you, otherwise I'd be branded as incompetent by my brother." He sounded sincere saying it, so I just smiled.

"Yes..." Reply relax.

Since then we have become close neighbors and often exchange food or gather to eat together, especially Hikari has become familiar with me so there is no word of loneliness after her departure.

Seriate...
