Teach Me to Cheat
Chapter 49: Family

" I've cleaned the room in the house. So mom and brother and sister can stay there from today." Aini screeched as they were having lunch at the parlour.

Everyone looks at each other.

" This?" Get Yuli.

" In life there must be some things and events that inevitably we have to accept sincerely and airy chest. When facing it, it often feels heavy and unbearable. However, as human beings we must strive to live it."

Yuli smiles at Akbar and turns to look at Mom and her two new siblings.

" Thank you Aini." Akbar.

" No, I'm the one who should be thanking you for always supporting me in any way. Especially husband. It's a shame he's not here. And I'm sorry if my attitude yesterday was a little upset." Aini.

"The support of those closest to you will mean a lot in difficult times like this. With them, I will not feel alone and abandoned. These supports can come in various forms, both oral, written, to action." Aini Imbuh.

"The essence of life is a combination of intention, sincerity, hard work, prayer, and trust. Thank you for accepting us as a family." Say Mother.

" Aini have you been sincerely giving the room that previously owned by mother?" Asks Yuli carefully, Aini always says she won't allow anyone else to occupy her mother's room.

" Happiness is the way while sadness is the test. Life is how hard we live reality. Insignease me sincerely" said Aini.

" Study sincerely from the little things, so you will get used to doing big things. And do one big thing sincerely so that you will be sincere when doing small things." Akbar.

" I would like if my mother always said, The one who always sincerely faces all the problems that come her way is the one who can enjoy her life. And I'm trying to apply it right now." Say Aini with a smile.

"A smile born with sincerity will spare us from hatred and malice. Thanks again. This is the first smile you give us." Mother said while holding Aini's hand.

Aini felt comfort, the touch reminded her of the touch of the mother.

" Be the most sincere person, not just good. For, in goodness there is not necessarily sincerity, but a sincere person God willing is certainly good." Say Mother again.

After finishing eating, Aini and Yuli help move the belongings of her mother and her two new siblings to the main house.

Unaccustomed to strangers, Aini chooses to sit in the garden of the parlour for a moment.

" Aini, where I'm looking for you. It turns out you're here." Screeched Viona.

" Sit down, what's looking for me?"

" No, I just want to know how you handle this disappointment and trouble?"

" All problems we must not face with violence, but we must face with sincerity."

"Cover your heart with sincerity as you cover your body with clothes."

Viona immediately squeezed out the clothes she was wearing. Supposedly if in the past he was more willing to live his life as it is, maybe now he has found his halal lover.

" Why is it so hard for me to be sincere especially when things aren't going my way." Lirih Viona's

" Sincerity will lead you to the door called success. And the road to it isn't easy, so you have to fight."

"To be grateful today and to let go of what has passed is one of the paths to that success. Life is not just about finding the best, it is about accepting the reality that you are you, so be yourself."

Viona got up from her sitting position and walked towards the flowers that were there.

" You know Aini, sometimes I feel that God always gives me the wrong life. Sometimes I feel that God is unfair to me because I always can't get what I want."

" Viona sometimes pronunciation is easier than deed. But we have to be able to live it. Live life even though sometimes there are parts that are not liked. Accept reality, be grateful, sincere and patient."

" In life, sometimes to feel better, you just have to accept the fact that you won't always feel good. God breaks the hearts of loved servants, so that there will be no more hope for the world."

Viona turned around and looked at Aini. His heart was so touched by it. Viona feels what happened to her is a rebuke for Viona to get back on her path. It's just that he couldn't realize that until he met Aini.

" Every night I always think if I could turn back the clock and go back in time I would fix things." Screeched Viona.

"There are days when we have to stop looking back, and then give thanks and learn to say something that is not for you."

Aini's words seemed to represent the feelings of Fiona who is currently still expecting her childhood friend to be her life companion .

"Ikhlas is hard. But, life without sincerity is much more difficult. One way to survive is to accept the reality of life with sincerity."

" You are right, and I think what I lack in my life is sincerity. Sometimes I lack sincerity in living the destiny that I am now living. And then I didn't realize that there was nothing that could be achieved in an instant way in this world."

" If everything can be obtained by instant means wouldn't its factories around the world be shut down?" Aini.

They laughed for a while then returned to serious mode.

" I've got to move on. Moving on doesn't mean I forget everything that happened between us. It means I accept what happened, sincerely, and move on with my life."

"Never mourn everything that is lost in your life, for God will replace it with another form." Said Aini who began to understand about Viona's heart which honestly still very hopeful on her childhood friend

"Trust that life is worth living and your beliefs will help create reality. If you want to make a change don't submit to reality, as long as you're sure you're on the right path then move on."

" Yes you are right, I must be on the right path bringing all the trustworthiness and patience to achieve what is my dream. I should be able to change into a better person." Viona.

"If you want to make a change don't submit to reality, as long as you're sure you're on the right path then move on."

" Thank you Aini, you can always revive the spirit that is in me. The spirit that always goes out when I can't accept a reality that doesn't live up to expectations."

"Life is not a problem to be solved, but life is a reality to be faced. Always eager and sincere to face today because complaining will not improve our situation." Aini.

" I'll try to make peace with this. Although it's very painful, but I try to always be okay, because I'm used to all this." Viona.

" I'm like I see the other side of you." Aini.

" The other side means it?"

" Yes, if you were so annoying but sometimes so short-sighted, but today you proved that there is a woman's heart that is soft and strong than yours."

" I learned from you. Always be enthusiastic and sincere to face today because complaining will not improve our situation. Yes even though I still cry a lot hehe.." Viona.

"Crying may, even must, but do not lament. By surrendering to Allah, our wounded hearts will be treated with sincerity."

" Thank you Aini, I'm so grateful to meet someone like you." Said Viona while hugging Aini.

" This is what I love about Aini, she can always turn a demon into an angel. Including myself. Dear God does not allow the former devil to be a companion to the world's angel."
