Not felt the time quickly rolled, now Diandra and Dayana have completed their education at the High School level.
" So, how did you go to college out of town?"
Alisha asked as they were enjoying dinner at a streetside duck stall. This time it was just the two of them. Because Satya and Ferry are busy watching the ball at the cafe they promised.
" I don't, Al. My savings are not enough. I don't want to burden you."
Alisha nodded. For residence Diandra can ride in Raka's house. Because Raka is in college while working. So the King already had a house, and of course some of his money from his parents.
" Yes try it, Di. How do you know your sustenance."
" Yes, too, Al."
After talking to Alisha. And finished dinner they both went home on a motorcycle. Alisha's piggybacking on Diandra.
Upon arrival at home, Father, Mother and Dayana were talking in the living room.
" Mad, I can't do it. However, Dayana must continue to study at the best campus. The results of the Dayana exam are better than Diandra. If indeed Diandra must study outside the city, Diandra must be independent. Yeah, make some extra money yourself. It was already Mas. I get dizzy when I argue about this."
Diandra who heard his mother's words immediately stepped into the room. There, Dayana is reopening the books she has.
" Di, are you going to college out of town?"
Diandra looked towards Dayana. Then take his breath.
" I don't know, Yan. I don't want to burden Dad. I also don't want to hear Dad and Mom every day debate about my finances there."
Dayana got up from her seat and sat down next to Diandra.
" When we go to college, what about?"
" I don't agree, Yan. Come on, I'm ordinary. You don't have to think about me. I'll find my own way out later."
Diandra finally broke down. It feels like every time you go home and hear the debate between Father and Mother makes Diandra crowded.
In the morning, as usual, Diandra woke up early. Doing all the housework. But today, his mother did not go to the market, only his father. I reasoned, if I was not feeling well. Not yet finished Diandra doing homework, a car stopped right in front of their house. Diandra immediately put down the broomstick he wore to sweep the yard.
From the car, it looked like a woman who was no longer young came down. And Diandra's eyes widened to see who was coming.
" Attributory, Dian."
" Guil, Bude ayu."
Reply Diandra enthusiastically. The woman's name is Ayu. Sister-in-law of her father. Bude Ayu is the mother of Raka. Raka's father and Diandra's father are siblings.
" How are you, honey? You have to finish your holiness and now your hair?"
Diandra lowered his head, since long time ago bude ayu is the person who most dislikes if their mother treats them differently. Bude Ayu sighed. Then caress Diandra's shoulder. Bude ayu apparently did not come alone, after riding a parking lot in the yard of a spacious neighbor's house, Kak Tika the eldest son of Bude Ayu also approached.
" Autra...."
" Sister Tika..."
Tika and Diandra embraced each other. Hearing the noise in front of the house, Dayana da. Maya looked ahead. Ma'am Maya was surprised to see her sister-in-law coming.
" Budget.."
Sapa Dayana and step towards Bude Ayu. Dayana treats Bude Ayu, and also her son Tika.
Dayana also allowed the Bude to enter. After Bude and his cousin and twin brother entered, Diandra resumed her work.
"Assalamualaikum, Ma'am. How are you?"
Bu Maya asked Bude Ayu who was already sitting in their living room.
"Alhamdulillah, May. I'm kind. You and Bayu how are you?"
" Thank God, we're all healthy, ma'am."
Bude Ayu's eyes scanned the two of them. Tika daughter bude ayu also touched Bude ayu's arm, then shook her head.
" If you're all healthy, why is Diandra the only one doing homework? Yana, can't you help Diandra a little? Is that your sister's pity?"
Yana lowered her face. Every time his bude came, he always got the same question.
" Sir, Yana's health isn't as good as Diandra's, so she's-"
" You spoiled him too much. It's not like the doctor said that Dayana's okay."
Maya was silent. Diandra who was finished with his work entered through the back door, after cleaning his hands, Diandra immediately made tea for them.
While Dayana, also resigned because she wanted to see the campus that would be the place to continue education.
" May, I told you once. If you don't want Diandra, you give her the same as me. I can still take care of it. You know, she's like a maid in her own house. You always distinguish them. You're her mother, May. Why are you always so next to the heavy?"
After Dayana's departure, Bude Ayu asked Maya.
" Mom, I'm just afraid, Yana's disease is coming back. You know he can't be sapped."
Bude ayu throbbing.
" You're overreacting. Just say, if you are afraid that your favorite child's hand is rough. Come on, you're spoiling her too much, Maya. Until you ignore your other children. Look, Diandra is thinner than the last I saw. His skin is getting darker too. Same with Dayana."
Bude Ayu has always loved Diandra. He was the first to be so angry that, knowing, Diandra washed all their clothes since Junior High. Bude ayu also once brought Diandra to live in his house, but only lasted one week. Because Mr. Bayu picked her up.
Without them noticing, Diandra heard their conversation. Diandra's tears shed, when she found out, Bude loved her more than her real mother.
" Ma, dong already, later if Diandra heard it's not good."
Bude ayu sighed.
" Mama just pity your sister Tika. If your Bulek objected to take care of Diandra, mama would take care of your sister. He's my mom's niece, my mom's son, too."
After saying that, Diandra came out of the kitchen with a tray of tea and snacks.
" Dian, where are you going to college?"
" Dian wants to study at Bang Raka's college, Bude. But-"
" That's good. Later you can stay with Raka and Tika there. Your brother and sister are also still in college there. "
Bu Maya rounded her eyes as she looked towards Diandra. Made Diandra lower her face.
" You don't need to be afraid, later daily expenses can be Bude and Pakde help."
