The Child I Called My Brother
Patience is dear.

As the two were half-drenched in the kitchen, the newly awakened della immediately approached her mother, a little surprised by her tant presence there.

" Aunty when did it come? Sena brother mana. " The girl, looking so excited by the presence of ningsih in her house, she immediately asked the whereabouts of her cousin. Della does not know if her cousin and her aunt will come to their house.

" Sena's still sleeping in the room, there wake up your cousin." Ningsih replied, releasing their embrace and asking the girl to wake Sena up immediately.

But Wiranti forbade it. " No need to mbak, let Sena rest! He must be very tired. You too Del, take a shower first! Keep going to school late."

" Mommy, people want to see your sister too! I'm very upset, same Sena."Della said as she stomped her feet, like a sulking child.

Making the two bayah women shake their heads, such a sight. Not the first time for them, because every time Della visits their home with both parents. It will definitely end in tears because it does not want to be separated from Sena, his cousin's sister.

"You, Del-Della hasn't changed, but she's an adult. " Say Wiranti. " Your brother is still tired, because of the long journey, do not be disturbed! Mending you get ready to go to school immediately, repeat again. Intar if you have gone home from school, satisfied playing the same brother, Sena. Your brother's gonna be staying with us here." Then again make Della immediately prancing so happy.

" Auntie Right?" Ask Della to Ningsih! The woman smiled as she nodded, confirming what her brother said. " Yeeh Asyik finally, Della has a friend. Then Della's gonna take a shower first." Said Della, then turned her body, leaving behind her mama and Tantenya.

"Eat him find a friend!" Sahut Wiranti's. I don't know what Della thinks, the girl is so cheerful and fun. But no friends at all, preferring to confine themselves in the room reading a picture story, no matter how good the story is, to a beaming collection.

Hearing the words, Wiranti Ningsih also smiled wryly. Given her old Sena, the girl is not much different from Della, does not have many friends, her hobby is read-read, until her papa makes a small library in their home for Sena. But Sena slowly changes since knowing Lian, often coming home late even the usual weekend Sena runs out in her mini library, now! There's more outside, there's a friend, until eventually all this happens.

Afternoon Day. Ningsih and Sena are sitting in a waiting clinic, Sena's name is called.

Not only, Sena there are some Hani mothers also waiting for Turn, because Sena's name is in the first order and they come an hour earlier, before the time of the doctor's practice. So it wasn't too crowded, but in front of the doctor's office, there was already a female nurse! Age is almost the same as Ningsi. The treatment is on duty, checking the names of patients who register and who have come, besides that in also tasked with weighing weight and measuring blood pressure.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I have to sit in school, with all Sena's achievements! But Sena actually made mama embarrassed by bringing mama to this place. Sorry ma." The sense of regret is increasingly becoming when looking at, girls who are a little age adrift on it, practice in the clinic. The uniform they wear, it says young doctor. Making his heart even more sliced by invisible knives. Even her tears explained her feelings. At present.

"Don't keep apologizing, this isn't entirely Sena's fault. And most importantly, you're okay now, let's just say God is rebuking us, to be better. Mama believes that someday you will be able to feel what they feel. " Say Ningsih so confidently, While wiping away her daughter's tears. " We're going to get through all this together, now Sena not only has a mom, there's an uncle, an aunt and Della ready to support you. Don't waste the opportunity you've got, baby." Sena quickly nodded her head.

And shortly after this, his name was called! The woman entered with Ningsih in the doctor's room. After finishing the examination and taking the medicine, Sena and Ningsih went home.

On the way, Sena sees a billboard, which informs, the admission of new students of medicine, a fairly well-known university in the city. " Yes." Call him, then glance towards the billboard.

" Patience baby, we will talk to your Aunt and Uncle first, how good? Your condition is also not fixed." Sahut Ningsih and Sena could only nod their heads while continuing, glancing at the billow.
