ZULFA FORTITUDE
Basic Malika

"When I came to Kak Safa's house, Kak Irwan didn't say anything?" Lika stared with her eyes round at Syafa who was sitting beside her.

Shaffa thought for a moment about the events throughout the morning. From the beginning he met Irwan on the road to his village. Like nothing special. Nothing was said. Until finally he chose to calm down here, at his employer's house. It was Irwan's.

"I guess Brother Irwan already said. Not knowing it has not been shot, too," he murmured softly but was quite heard by Shaffa and Irwan who were enjoying dinner together. The two put down their respective spoons, looking back at him. But the one being stared at felt nothing. Continue to eat quietly.

I didn't think his sister would speak. It could fail his plan like this. Not to survive dong ....

"Lika finish your meal first." Irwan tried to divert Lika's conversation. In order to immediately stop his talk that might not be necessary. But basic Lika, being stared at, being reprimanded like that instead laughed sinlessly. Make a little upset. Wanted to scold her, but she was already big, there were others with them as well. Pity that he fell mentally.

"So there's no use dong parcel it," he chanted again. Still continuing to eat.

Loa ... Lica.

It usually makes your brother more present. I don't know what to say in a situation like this. Really this child asked to be taught, muttered Irwan's heart that does not need Shaffa and the others know, let alone the crucibles.

"What do you mean, I'm curious!" The words thrown by Lika managed to make Shaffa tickled his curiosity.

"There's nothing. Don't think about it, we eat first, yuk. Lika is so." Irwan tried to put things back in order to enjoy this dinner in peace. It might not be finished, if it continues to be teased like this.

"That's Kak Shaffa .. but Kak Shaffa's cook doesn't feel like there's shrimp behind the rock."

Astaghfirullah al - adzim ....

This child if you have spoken no brakes alias blong. Making Irwan senewen. But can't do anything. If it was a matter like this, he would have lost to his sister.

"Oh ..." said Shaffa with a smile. Then continue eating again with a smile. There-just, the mind whispers.

"So Shaffa accepted. Thank God I finally have a sister-in-law." Lika's face looked happy. He stopped eating and raised both hands.

"meaning?" Back Shaffa made no understanding.

"Yes, Brother Shaffa is my sister-in-law. Cook doesn't understand either."

Allahu Akbar, Lika what are you saying. This time Irwan was completely confused by the action of this one-of-a-kind sister. His speech is not necessarily directional. Which obviously makes the senewen Irwan.

"Not think about it. You are getting confused."

"You're funny. How could I be your sister-in-law, if it's 5 days, I'll marry someone else." Shaffa muttered softly with a sad downcast face. It flashed in her thoughts that her marriage would not not.

"That's it, don't be sad. The storm will surely pass," comfort Irwan.

"I'm sorry, Brother Shaffa. I don't mean anything like that."

They continued eating. Until all spent what he had taken, without rest.

Fad arises in Irwan to tease Lika.

" You are."Irwan knocked on his head.

"Ih, Brother. Sick knows."

Shaffa chuckled to see brother and sister joking.

"All right now I explain everything. So you know Lika. And your brother Shaffa is no longer saddened by your babbling."

"Nach is dong, brother."

For a while Irwan was silent because he did not know what to say. Actually he is reluctant to express his feelings at this time because there is still much to think about, especially about the safety of Shaffa's father as well as about Shaffa's grief.

"Parcel that as my apology to you. You heard it too." Finally Irwan started it too, although he did not know where to come from.

"Yes. Thanks, Sis. Brother is wrong why apologize?"

For a moment Lika listened to the words of Irwan, but frankly she echoed once, why is it still circling. Her hand nudged her brother, so as to immediately reveal his heart.

Honey, Irwan doesn't understand Lika's cue. He continued that unnecessary story. Patience .. patience .. may not be the time yet. But the longer the more jubilant also, let alone hear blah bla bla from Irwan's lips. Hm .. need to be given this touch of violence. Lika immediately acted quickly, stepping on Irwan's foot.

"Innalillahi wa Inna ilaihi Raji'un." Irwan shouted a little. A little upset too, he made it. Basic Malika Hapsari, grumbled Irwan in the heart.

With sinless Lika smiled widely, looking at Irwan. He gave a signal to say his heart. Instead of being late, and finally bite a finger.

Actually Irwan wants to shoot him right now, but now these krucils are in the campanakan. Not good, is it?It's adult business. Fear of polluting their sight and hearing.

"alright. But not here. Okay fine! and you don't need to know."

Irwan smiled widely and gave a thumbs up at Lika. Although his sister is too nosy with people's affairs, but enough to help Irwan to dare to say what is stored in his chest. If that's not who is pumping, let the spirit so loh. Take it better than thinking things out.

Only, the road is not toll surfing. After the prayer isya they are disturbed by krucils who want to be accompanied by learning. It is not good to disappoint them, later the spirit of learning down. Be Shaffa first accompany them to completion. While Kak Lika waltzed quietly to her room. To accompany learning, those who do not like. Because Lika can't wait to teach. Understand no, more confused yes. Like snapping anyway. So they chose Shaffa, but he's here. Usually Shaffa's brother also taught them, when stopping by the factory after school. Now I can't help but bother him this time. Without a care, Irwan waited a long time.

Several times Irwan observed them. Seen Shaffa kok not yet round-title also accompany learning. Inevitably, he also joined the pulpit to teach Tia and Aldo in completing his pr. 9 Hours new learning plus watching his tv. The krucils headed for their respective rooms. They clean their school equipment in a state of slightly reddened eyes resist sleepiness and several times yawn.

"Tia sleep first. Brother will follow."

"Both Brother.But promise you."

"Promise." The fingers of Shaffa form the letter O.

Shaffa couldn't bear to let Tia sleep alone. Then he followed Tia, accompanying her for a moment to sleep.
