3 Years later
Naskala looked at the woman who was busy working on the pr in her room. He secretly went to Cempaka's room just to see the girl.
Cempaka seemed to be seriously working on the problem given by his teacher. Today Naskala has become a soldier and works at her father's place. Achievements at a young age are also very much while Cempaka is already sitting on the bench of Junior High School.
They have lived together long enough. And Cempaka is used to Naskala. According to Naskala Cempaka nothing has changed and still it is very annoying.
The boy loves to come and roam into his room. Like a brother and kaka. But unfortunately even though he has lived with the Barawijaya Family still in the view of Cempaka they are only a relative and not a parent. He called Adhila and Toha still the same Aunt and Om. While his call to Naskala is also the same still om. Naskala is currently 19 years old.
Naskala went into the room and hugged Cempaka very tightly. The sight of perseverance learning Cempaka has often been seen. The child is only the outside that looks very diligent when the original Cempaka did not understand what he was learning.
Cempaka stopped writing and threw the pen. He'd hate to be hugged like this by Naskala. Naskala still thinks of herself as a little Naka even though for Cempaka she is already big.
"Om Naskala and Cempaka! Om heavy. Don't be rich gini anymore Cempaka is big."
"Who are you big? You're a little girl" said Naskala and loosened her arms.
He pulled out another chair and sat down next to Cempaka. Cempaka tried to ignore Naskala and focus on doing math problems.
Naskala noticed how Cempaka answered all about it. Though for Naskala the problem is very easy and Cempaka takes a very long time to answer it.
Of course it became Naskala's laughingstock. He took Cempaka's pen and took the blank paper.
"Om Naskala's! What's Om doing? Return pen!" ketus Cempaka and the bear to take his pen back. It's not easy for Cempaka.
Naskala, who was very tall, raised her hand until Cempaka, who was short, could not reach her.
"Om Naskala," whined Cempaka and looked at Naskala expectantly.
"You used to call me Om. I'm not your om."
"Apaan is aware of himself dong that Om Naskala is rich om-om."
Being ridiculed by Cempaka made Naskala gape and not accept. He also kept the pen to make Cempaka more upset.
"Om Naskala don't bother me studying!"
"I don't want to! You are my leak so I am free to sell anything to you!"
"THESE ARE NOT KIDS!"
"Yes-iya Cempaka is not a baby but a baby."
"Guah!!"
Naskala looked at Cempaka's math. He teaches how to solve the problem and uses what formula.
Initially, Cempaka who was very upset was finally interested in following the learning given by Naskala. Cempaka observed it closely and began to study slowly. At first he really did not understand until Cempaka also understood the teachings of Naskala.
"Well, getting rich is the way. It is easy to get rich and cannot be answered. You fool," said Naskala, flicking Cempaka's forehead.
Cempaka scratched his aunt and tried to ignore all the ridicule Naskala made.
"That's just proud" said Cempaka in a soft voice.
Naskala who heard Cempaka's babble pinched the child's cheek until it turned red.
"What was that about?"
"Auuu sick Om!"
"Call me Brother first! I am your brother!"
"Oh? Don't want to!!"
"Call Kaka not?"
Cempaka who was already upset and also at the same time in pain then obey Naskala's wishes.
"NASKALA'S HANDSOME AND LOVING BROTHER LET GO OF THIS CUTE AND CUTE CHAMPAKA DONG!"
Naskala laughed and released her pinch on Cempaka's cheek. He kissed Cempaka very deeply.
"Apaan sih Om, Cempaka is also not yet baligh and not obligated to pray."
Naskala who incidentally grew up in a very religious environment and lived in the midst of religious parents made him also deepen the religion and become a devout Muslim.
"Trease! Even though you are not yet baligh you have to get used to praying 5 times so that you will not be lazy to pray. Moreover, you have been 13 years and soon you will be puberty, so you have to get used to praying five times from now."
Cempaka took a deep breath and swept her lips.
"All right."

4 Years Later
Cempaka just got home from school. The boy is in High School and 3rd grade. Soon he will face a national exam even if it's another year.
Looks like Cempaka's tired look. He entered the house and shouted greetings. Adhila who was cooking in the kitchen heard Cempaka's voice smiling widely.
He answered Cempaka's greeting and immediately told the child to change clothes and go down to eat.
Cempaka obeyed him and soon he came out of his room. It's been 4 years. There are many things that Cempaka has experienced.
Especially his relationship with Naskala is getting worse unlike it used to be where they are very familiar and also close.
There is no day without quarrels and the indulgence of Cempaka to Naskala. Naskala also pampered Cempaka a lot. But now it's different. He is increasingly alien to Naskala and rarely interacts with Naskala.
Naskala was also very cold and often avoided herself. Deep in Cempaka's heart he was deeply saddened by his fate like this.
Habits of Cempaka who like not to wear hijab when at home even though many people are home who are not mahram Cempaka. Where the adjutant and also Toha and Naskala itself is not a Cempaka mahram.
Adhila also often reminded Cempaka to wear hijab even though at home but still Cempaka was not used to it.
While passing through the living room Cempaka accidentally saw Naskala who had just returned to duty at the border. Naskala looked silent with a cold gaze looking at Cempaka.
Cempaka frowned. But before long his smile was engraved because he missed the man so much. Cempaka immediately ran and hugged Naskala's body very tightly.
"OM IS COMING?!"
Naskala was shocked as Cempaka hugged her. The man deserved to try to release Cempaka's embrace from him.
"Cempaka let me go. You're grown up don't be a kid."
"Yey! Now Om Naskala has admitted that Cempaka is big."
Naskala fell silent and forgot that the woman in front of her was still childish.
"I forgot if you were a prick."
"What the hell."
"Take off me Cempaka. You can't be like this same as me."
Cempaka let go of his embrace on Naskala. His face looked cloudy and his eyes were glazed.
"Om Naskala why is it so cold to Cempaka? Cempaka Emang is wrong what is the same Om? Om always avoids Cempaka as if Cempaka is unclean to be near. Om was not rich gini same Cempaka, hiks."
Naskala stared coldly at Cempaka who was crying loudly. "You've grown up not always I can be with you and nemenin you. You should be able to do it yourself and learn to live without me."
"But Cempaka just wants the same Om. Rich again. Okay, now Cempaka doesn't call you anymore, but Brother."
Naskala laughed softly. He also lowered his eyes.
"Trease! I think not only me but also Mother has reminded you to wear hijab even at home. In the future wear a hijab." After that Naskala passed Cempaka just like that to make Cempaka laugh while crying.
"OM NASCALA IS EVIL!!" chanted Cempaka to Naskala who had left her.
