One week Naia and her parents live with Tanti. Tanti is very happy since he brought Naia's family to live in his house, not only the house is maintained, but he is no longer lonely, there is Pak Subhan and Ibu Sari who like to accompany him to watch television at night, naia made him breakfast. It's like getting a new family. She already considered Naia like her own sister.
Naia just came home when the clock was showing at eight o'clock.
The house is deserted. Tanti is indeed busy outside the city, and there will be three more days.
Geck!
Geck!
"Sir, Mom. Can Nai come in?"
"Open up, Nduk, the door's not in the lock."
Nai immediately entered the room occupied by his parents. Mr. Subhan was lying on the bed, while Ms. Sari was folding clothes.
"Nai buy rice padang, we eat new watch tv sir, Mom!"
His parents seemed happy. Makes Naia's heart happy. Mr. Subhan who was once gallant and strong now looks frail inedible age, since a year ago Mr. Subhan often sickly. Likewise with Bu Sari, his eyes are not aware, senile, like to forget, even on Naia though.
"Nai, may you ask?" Said Mr. Subhan while stroking the top of Naia's head covered in a gray hijab.
Naia nodded slowly.
"What kind of man does Nai want to be Husband?" ask Subhan sir at the flower.
"Nai wants a man who can respect both Father and Mother. Not only does Nai love, but must be affectionate to both of Nai's parents. Accepting all the shortcomings and advantages of Nai and most importantly he is pious and understands religion."
Mr. Subhan frowned at the corner of his lips.
"Nai, Father and Mother are old.Died you are unmarried. May your Father and Mother live long to see you marry the man of your choice. Good man, responsible, godly. And can lead you to be a godly wife to open the doors of heaven."
In the past when his children were young, Mr. Subhan always advised his sons and daughters.
For Wahid and Trianto Pak Subhan gave a message. If they have a wife, they should treat them well. Teach the wife to be able to appreciate both in-laws like respecting her own parents. No one is covered, let alone admit people have it. Must be honest if born from a simple family and come from the village.
For Duwi and Naia Pak Subhan always reminded the Prophet's message about four women who deserve to be married, one because of his property, two because of his nasab, three because of his beauty, and the last because of his religion. Since childhood Mr. Subhan has taught good religion, teaching responsibility to his four children. But somehow the teachings that Mr. Subhan instilled in his daughter's son seemed meaningless.

Naia was just about to leave for work on foot, frowning slightly at the sight of people running towards the highway.
"What's wrong, ma'am?" Nai asked one of the women who looked like they were going to run.
"There was a car that hit a rickshawman, but the one who crashed even angrily asked for compensation. Kasian Nai, the rickshawman is already old."
Nai who should be in a hurry to work even looked towards the highway.
The voices of a man cursing and insisting on compensation began to be heard by Nai. But the closer Naia felt was no stranger to that voice.
"Mas Wahid?"
Wahid rolled his eyes seeing Naia coming.
"Mas, already. His father has apologized why mas maksa asked for compensation? Everywhere remains the wrong." Nai complains in defense of the rickshawman.
"You know what you're about. The poor are a doubt!" Sembur Wahid's.
"Astagfirullah Mas's. Istighfar, you're too arrogant."
"What's wrong Nai, you don't interfere. Iri you see your mas can ride in the car while you are nyeker" Ines Wahid's wife got off the car and pushed Naia's shoulder back.
Naia was ashamed of the people, she felt bad that others should see the quarrel between sister and brother like this.
"Why am I jealous mba? I just want my mas to have ethics and manners towards older people. Although asking for compensation, Wahid should not scold and yell, it can be discussed well."
It's true. Treasure can stretch the relationship of parents and children, brotherhood and friendship.
"Has Nai-Nai, just yesterday you were begging to your mas for money to be sent, you are angry? Because my husband doesn't love me?" Wahid's wife's words were very rude and also tatus.
"I don't ask for money with Wahid." Naia defended herself.
"My own husband told me that his sister likes to ask for this and that money. No end to your eating needs."
Naia's eyes widened, since when did Naia ever ask Wahid for money for food? And what he said is endless.
Naia's eyes glazed over, she walked over to the elder with a broken heart.
Plaque!!
Everyone was stunned to see Naia slap her brother.
Although after that Naia immediately got a slap of reply from Wahid who was much harder and not once but twice on both cheeks.
Wahid stared intently at Naia. "Dear your manners Naia." His impact.
"Don't teach me manners no your rich manners!" Nai took a deep breath. "You have opened the disgrace of family in public like this mas, the treasure has blinded the eyes of your heart. Tega you slandered Mothers begging you for money to eat. Have you forgotten the sacrifice of our parents all this time? After you have grown up and been successful you consider your parents begging for your mercy? Even if you give the world and its contents to them, it is still not enough to restore the blood and milk that you shed during childbirth and breastfeeding!"
Naia's tears dripped down mixed with blood flowing at the corner of her lips. Naia looked into Wahid's eyes in disappointment. Wahid not only failed as a child and husband, he also failed to become a Kaka who should take care of his sister as a substitute for Father.
"Nlt ..." Wahid wanted to extend his hand to Naia's face, but Naia hurriedly brushed off her hand.
"For God's sake, I don't want you to tell your wife if we ever beg you for money. Four years of age. Ever since I got married I forgot my responsibilities as a child, as a Kaka and as a family."
"Don't be presumptuous of you, Nai" Bentak Ines glared.
"Nai just told the truth." Naia still had time to answer, but after that Naia chose to leave with extreme hurt and shame. Because Wahid has revealed the disgrace of their family. Even willing to scapegoat Mother and Father money problems. Astarghfirullah's.
