Ali's Eyes Shined. He's happy amazing. In Ali's arms was his first trophy. The First Champion of the Dai Cilik (PILDACIL) Election for the 2021-2022 Teachings is written on the trophy. Not as much as my brother, but soon. Brother can no longer mock him for never getting a trophy. Not as much as Brother. But it can catch up later. To be sure, the tears of Mom and Dad that were spilled because of haru on the stage earlier, were the same.
Zia and family seemed to be walking closer. Zia's mother looked tired holding Zia's fat sister. He thrashed out wanting to get out of the room immediately. It might be hot, Ali thought. Zia's father tried to take Zia's sister from her mother's arms, but instead made Zia's sister wriggle harder. Zia, seemed to be completely unaffected by the moods of her two parents. His eyes were as bright as Ali's. There was a cup in his arms as well. Zia won the Musabaqah for the 4th, 5th and 6th grades.
“Assalamu aleikum, Ali's father,” greet Zia's father while reaching out to shake hands. He welcomed her as warmly as he could. Last time I shook Zia's father's hand when Zia's head fell from the bathroom. The main cause, encouraged by Ali. Zia's father's warm greeting at least makes Dad believe there is no longer a grudge Zia's father on his son.
“Alhamdulillaah, yes, Ali champion Pildacil. Great one!” Praise Zia's Mother. The mother who had tried to play with Zia's sister seemed to have gotten the baby's attention. So just return Mother Zia's praise with a big smile, while still looking at Zia's sister. Sister Zia had also smiled excitedly at Mother. “Tuh, deck. Later you will also like Mas Zia, like Mas Ali as well. So pinter, let's be champion”
“If you educate them like Mom, Insyaallaah can be a champion. They already have a real example,” reply Mother praised.
“Ah, I can aja.. I still work at BSN”
“Iya ma'am, Masih. Ibu also said Ali works at BPPT ya”
“Udah enggak bu” replied Ms. Zia with a smile.
“Oh.. have not yes, oh sorry, I am less up to date in the student guardians group. Busy again. Much work. Ali was picked up more often by his father,” responded to Mom with a little guilt.
“I mean I'm not in BPPT anymore, because now it has turned into BRIN hi.hi.hi.hi.hi..”
“Oo alaah. I think it stopped working”
“Not ma'am, but his free time is the same as that of quitting work. Especially after a pandemic like this. Yes, the wisdom was taken, ma'am. So have more time with the kids. These.. Zidan so ask me to hold me at home. The bigger the more spoiled anyway.” said Ibu Zia. Zidan who was invited to talk back thrashed while pointing at the exit.
“haduh.. deck, kok lambek again. Yes. yes we go home wait a minute yes,” continued Ms. Zia while fixing her sling. “mas Zia, come on son, we find Ustadzah Intan while all saying goodbye. Hayuk Yah!”
“We first yes Mom. Congratulations Yes Ali” said Ms. Zia as she passed towards the exit of the hall. Ustadzah Intan and several other ustadzah are crowded there while delivering the parents of other students who want to say goodbye.
“Monday you entered ‘kan Li,” said Zia while rushing after her mother.
“It was, uh.. Insyaallaah”
“Ali..” heard the cheerful voice of Aira calling. He approached while running small. Its long gameplay seemed to slightly hinder its pace. Or maybe the cup in his arms is too big. Today Ustadzah Intan is very proud in Pildacil. Two heroes from his class became first-place champions, son and daughter. The tasks he gave were indeed more honing the speaking skills of his students. There are more of them than other teachers. The class is getting noisy. But the amount of PR she had to check after school was less.
“Aira... don't run-run” Aira's mom catches up with her behind. Mom immediately welcomed kindly, “Assalamu alaikum Bu Doctor”
“Ah, mom, Ratna only ma'am. Ma'am Doctor mah, for the hospital. Or Mama Aira can too. How is Mama Ali. Thank God you can meet here,” sahut mama Aira friendly.
“Congratulations yes, Aira. You are cool, how can you think of choosing to discuss Mother Khadijah. Other children if the theme of the heroine is certainly not far from Kartini, Malahayati, Cut Nyak Dhien” said Ali.
“Yee. it's local hero mah. If I ‘kan select a hero worldwide” replied Aira proudly. And the story of how Mother Khadijah ascertained the prophethood of His Messenger of Allah on Burairah, then made sure that the one who came to deliver the revelation was Jibril, it was not yet many who knew. This is what ensures Aira's superiority in the princess category Pildacil.
“Hallah.. Say it because you do not have a costume that matches the local culture. Don't have a kebaya as good as Disha”
“Enak! I never wear a kebaya. My mother never either. But Disha is very beautiful if you wear kebaya. Kayak bride. Yes yes yes.. Her mother artis” says Aira a little envious.
“Genesis yesterday do not think too much pak” said Father to Pak Bintang who was seen walking wildly checking the entire room. Slowly the two became a distance from the crowd where Ali and Mom were busy chatting with Aira and her mother. I think Mr. Bintang is nervous about meeting his grandmother Disha in this Hall. ”Oh No sir. This is me again looking for Mr. Rangga with Mr. Gilang, he said he promised to gather at school today. We haven't seen each other in a long time. Want all nostalgia kulaih time first” said Pak Bintang half lied.
“Oh yes.. Mr. Rangga also told me the same story. Still often write short stories in newspapers sir?” ask Dad.
“Oh.. Don't read the short story..”
“Already pack, Dragon Killer Patch ‘Kan. Good sir. At that time it must be difficult to make a short story published in the famous newspaper” cut Dad.
“That's ‘kan actually from.”
“Iya Sir, Mr. Rangga has also told”
“Don't say the same to anyone sir. Poor Kiky” said Mr. Bintang while whispering and bringing his body closer to Father.
“Quiet sir. Amaan..” replied Dad while giving a thumbs up.
