The Child I Called My Brother
When did you come home?

After that day, Lian continued her studies in the Aussie. Once his S1 lecture was over, the man did not return immediately.

He chose to continue his studies one more level at Harvard University and now it's time he returned to replace the position of the father, he said, because his three brothers already have the busyness of each let alone they are married and have children, while the father has begun to be sickly and must immediately rest.

And during her studies outside her sister, Nelly always sends her latest news to Lian.

Of course all that he got from his men, because if he himself who visited directly there, Ningsih would immediately close the door of his house once he realized it was Nelly who came.

Not only Nelly, even Ani's mother Lian also tried to establish closeness with Ningsih without telling her true identity.

The closeness was intertwined, because Ani who pretended to need help and Ningsih who helped her, until Ani felt indebted to Ningsih. And all of that went the way Ani wanted.

The middle-aged woman, initially did all that so that the son there was calm and focused on finishing college.

But the kindness of Ningsih makes Ani very fond of the woman by continuing to invite her to meet, Until both Ningsih and Ani, slowly start to get close to each other.

But no matter how close they were, Ningsih never told Ani anything about her daughter Sena. Though they often make appointments meet outside Just like Today.

The two middle-aged women sat facing each other. Tell stories while enjoying food orders and drink them. Here Ningsih only came alone because the grandson was in school.

Even if Daffa did not go to school, Ningsih would still leave her at home, as there was a maid assigned, by her sister-in-law to work at Ningsih's house, instead, the middle-aged man also paid the maid's salary.

It was not that Ningsih was embarrassed by the presence of her granddaughter, but that the Lady did not want many people to know about Daffa, she might have calmed down if she claimed Daffa as her granddaughter, but the current conditions were different, he had to say Daffa was his son while their differences in faces were clear and far-reaching.

"Where are you going, Jeng Ningsih?" Ani asked as she glanced at the circular clock on her wrist. Making Ningsih aware of his daydream and also look at the clock as well.

It didn't feel like they were sitting there for nearly an hour" I'd go straight to my son's school and wait for him to come home, right there." Answer Ningsih.

" Oh yes! Jeng Ningsih has a young son, God I forgot about that. " Ningsih simply responded with a smile as she nodded her head, confirming for the woman before her. " I'm sorry Jeng, the age factor makes me start to forget often." And then a little joke.

" Ani's sister can make her joke" Sela Ningsih, "Oh yeah mbak, what did you bring me here for?" Ningsih asked, the woman wanted to immediately end her meeting with Ani and go to Daffa school.

" Good God, what did I say? I'm getting old and forgetful." His words sounded exaggerated again. "Oh yes, I brought you here because I want to send you to the Thanksgiving. Tonight my son will be home and tomorrow's plan is to have a party to welcome him home, I hope you and your son can come, also join us." The full extent of please.

Ningsih smiled wryly, shaking her head." Earlier I was very grateful to mbak, because mbak Ani already wanted to invite me. Too bad I couldn't come. Because tomorrow morning Daffa and I will go to Riau. My niece is getting married the day after tomorrow and we have to be there tomorrow morning." Say Ningsih as it is.

Because tomorrow Della will marry the man of her choice. I don't know when Sena's turn is. The beak woman snorted, Her breathing sounded rice as she recalled her daughter.

The woman is now in Romania, a very long distance and has not existed even though she returned home since going to Riau at that time. Daffa just started whining about wanting to meet but, Sena was too hard on her stance. Even at her cousin's Della's wedding, she sent only Gifts and apologies for not being able to come.

Thinking of this all makes Ningsih's health often decline. For even Daffa comforts and accompanies his days. It won't be the same with Sena. Her daughter.

" It's a pity, but I hope on another occasion you won't reject my invitation." Ningsih only smiled as she nodded her head in response.

After that they talked for a while, before they decided to separate.

As she said, Ningsih went straight to Daffa school to pick up her grandson while Ani went home.

The woman wanted to please her son by presenting Ningsih But, unfortunately, Ningsih was having a family event in Riau.

Arrive at school! Ningsih sits in a park chair provided by the school for parents who want to wait for their children.

Ningsih sat alone, then contacted her daughter who was far away there. The woman was so finished with Koas and the one-year internship, she instantly took Specialist for Four years. Until he can hold the title Sp. A(K) in its name. Is not it a pride he can achieve all that.

" When do you want to come back, baby?" It was always that question Ningsih asked her daughter across the street.

" Yes! Come on, don't be like this. Mama should be happy dong because Sena can get to this position." Sena answered from across the street.

" If you can choose again, you'd rather be here. "Jawab Ningsih, the middle-aged woman started to get annoyed. Because Sena didn't come back home.

" Just next year ! Sena promised Sena's going home." He hoped that his mother would stop whining and ask him to come home.
