Destiny Syakila

eps 64s

Syakila walked into the house with a smile. Making the sister, brother, and mother who were in the family room seat confused.

”Kak Asya, why smile at yourself? Brother kesamben jin what today?” hardin asked Syakila's only brother.

Syakila sat on the chair between Hardin and her mother.

”Asya kesamben jin ganteng man today.” replied Syakila with ngawur.

”What? Is there a handsome genie? The name of the genie is spooky brother, no one is handsome or beautiful.” protest Hardin.

”Surely sister has seen the look of a genie?” ask Syakila.

”Early, on the same television in the picture storybook.” replied Hardin innocently.

”Hahaha hahahaha.” Makes everyone there laugh.

”Hardin baby, it's just engineering. It's just people-made, baby. But, the look of the genie no one had seen yet. Well, except in the days of the prophets and apostles. Because they are God's chosen people who have special privileges. Understood, babe?” syakila explained.

”But the genie man exists. And sister has seen it for herself.” Syakila stared at the floor sharply without a blink. His face turned flat.

Sarmi knew very well seeing Syakila's eyes like that.

”Syakila, you take a shower, change your new clothes eat there.” said the mother.

Syakila stopped staring at the floor and changed her gaze to gently look at her mama.

”Kila already ate Mah. With Sardin."

”Oh, means you smile this way because you have met your little friend?” guess Sarmi.

Syakila smiled sweetly to show off the beauty of her dimples and chin. ”Iya Mama.”

”Oh, great. So, it's been one dong your boyfriend” taunted Sarmi. Making Syakila pout.

"Mama sneered Syakila?”

”Oh no dear.” elak Sarmi. ”Mama is just happy that finally there is also your boyfriend. During this time, Asya only looks close to girlfriends. No one of your male friends has come to visit the house since we lived in this city. Not the same as your other brothers and sisters.”

”Huff. Mama, Asya went into the room first, wanted to take a bath and Asya wanted to rest, Mah.” Syakila moved from her seat.

”Assalamu 'alaikum.” Johan and his wife came to visit Sarmi's house. Because the door is already open, making it easier for them to go directly in.

"Wa 'alaikum salam.” Syakila, Fatma, Sarmi said while looking at Johan and his wife.

”Dad...Mother...” All Sarmi's children hugged Johan and his wife. No exception, Fatma and Syakila.

The arrival of Johan and his wife, making Syakila undo his intention to go to the room, he instead went to the kitchen and made tea and coffee for Johan and his wife.

After they are in the town of S, Sarmi stays for three months at Johan's house. In the following month, Sarmi asked to live alone. Finally, he contracted for a house not far from Johan's house. Not without reason Sarmi asked to separate the house. Sarmi just wants to keep his brother-in-law feeling. Because Sarmi heard bad gossip about her.

Not really a rumor. But, Sarmi overhears the words of the neighbors who reprimand Biah, the wife of Johan to be careful with Sarmi. Sarmi is a widow. And also the look of Sarmi who is still very beautiful despite having six children.

At first Biah and Johan did not agree with Sarmi's desire to separate the house, because for three months they had been accustomed to the sound of laughter, crying, from Sarmi's children. But, Sarmi convinces the two of them with the right reasons to move house, eventually they agree to Sarmi's desire to stay contracted.

And when someone sells his land just eight meters from Johan's house, Sarmi buys the land and he starts building a house for himself and his children. Although the house is not as big and good as their home in town A, but at least now they live in their own home.

Syakila came from the kitchen with a tray of two glasses on it. He kept the tray on the table. A glass of tea he gave to aunt Biah, and a glass of coffee for om Johan.

”Uncle, Aunty, please in tea and coffee.”

”Thank you, dear.” said Biah, and Johan. Johan and Biah, grabbing a glass and drinking it. In three gulps they put the glass back on the table, in front of them.

Among Sarmi's six children, Syakila and Fatma are reluctant to call Biah and Johan father and mother. For both of them, there is only one mother, Sarmi. And their only father, Halim. Even though his father was gone, for both of them Halim was still alive and was by their side.

Fatma, who was very indifferent to her mother and father a long time ago, changed when she saw her papa killed in front of her eyes. He became a loving figure to his mother and sisters now.

"Sarmi, next week is your leave for two Weeks, you want to take it?” ask Johan.

”It seems not, later I just took my leave.” replied Sarmi.

In accordance with Johan's remarks to Anton, Sarmi now works in Johan's office. And Sarmi does not want to be special just because of the status of sister-in-law. It worked by being a cleaning service at first. A few months later, due to diligence and tenacity, Sarmi's job was raised and now he works as a regulator of employees who want to apply for work in Johan's office.

After two months Sarmi lived in the city of S, many widows who came to propose Sarmi to Johan. Even a young man who was only twenty-five years old wanted to question Sarmi. But Sarmi rejected them all.

Although Halim was not on his side, Halim was still a husband to Sarmi. Sarmi's body and heart are still adrift for Halim.

”Alright, as you wish. So your leave I'm forfeited." Johan said. Sarmi nodded.

Johan took his coffee back. Then he saw Fatma.

”Fatma, another week of your marriage. Are you ready for the household?”

”Iya Uncle, Fatma is ready.”

”Fatma, household is not easy. Cultivate trust and loyalty in your heart and soul for your future partner. And the most important thing is faith. Without it all your household would fall apart. You already understand? Learn to live and maintain the household of your Mama and Aunt.”

”Iya Uncle. My aunt and mother always told me about the house trip. Not Fatma bragging, but Insha Allah Fatma is ready to live a household.” said Fatma steadily.

”Good then, Uncle don't doubt you.” Johan saw Syakila. ”If you are Syakila, when will you catch up with your sister?”

”Uncle, Syakila is young, only nineteen years old. Syakila has not thought about a wedding let alone to live the household.”

Before Syakila finds father's killer.

”But Syakila, at least you already have a lover. The time when High School and in your college now or at your job teaching no man is captivated by you? Try to see that your new sister SMP has a lot of fancies.”

”Papa, don't underestimate Syakila, Pa. Syakila must have had a boyfriend, Mama has twice Pa saw Syakila in the male bonceng when she came home.” Biah defended Syakila.

”What did your Aunt really say?” Johan curious. Syakila grinned while nodding.

”Iya that's right, sister-in-law. And the man was a friend of Syakila when he was a child, his name was Sardin.”, Sarmi explained.

”Hah, you're dating Sardin, Asya?” fatma was surprised. ”Severagely Sardin is in this city? When did you meet?”

Fatma curious. As far as he knew, Sardin was not in this city, but in the village. Sardin just moved villages and schools, not moved cities.

"Yes older sister, Asya is dating Sardin's sister. We met a month ago at the karate.” training ground, Syakila said.

”Sardine... Sardine.” Johan remembered a familiar name for her. "What is Sardin the owner of the television broadcast tv partner, Asya?”

”Em...Asya doesn't know Uncle. Asya has not asked about her work.”

”What are the names of his parents Alimin and Nesa?”

”Iya Uncle, it's her parents' name sak Sardin.”

”Oh, Uncle recognizes him. He is indeed the owner of the third order tv partner in this city. But, Uncle heard that she's getting engaged, what's that with you, baby?"

”Oh, no Uncle, we haven't talked about it. Besides, Syakila doesn't want to get engaged or married yet. But.if it's true that Uncle said.means Sardin will be engaged to another girl. However, Brother Sardin said he did not have a girlfriend, and his new girlfriend Asya, even then we made it today.” said Syakila.

”Uncle, where did you hear about Sardin's engagement?" Syakila.

”Her father Sardin is a good friend of Aunty, Syakila.” Biah who answered Syakila's question.

”Oh so." said Syakila. "Uncle, Aunt, Mama, Syakila wants to go to the room first, and wants to take a bath Asya is stuffy. All right, Asya wants to rest.”

Syakila stood up from her seat and went to the room without waiting for the words of her uncle, aunt, and mother.

Arriving at the room Syakila kept the bag on the bed and took out the phone from the bag. He checked one incoming call with a number that had not been embedded in his hape contact.

”This is her number.” Syakila kept the number in her hape contact with the name of my little friend's sister. He also sent a message to her.

”Sister, is it really the brother of the owner of the tv Partner?”

After sending that message. Syakila deactivated the ringtone in her hape and placed the hape on the bed. And he went to take a shower.

After taking a shower, he immediately approached the bed and grabbed a hape, he wanted to check if there was a reply from Sardin or not. It turned out that it was not just one message on the screen, but five missed calls from Sardin and four messages from him.

I opened the message and read it.

”Yes, Kila knows from whom? Sorry, sister hasn't told you about yourself.”

”Kila darling, why not reply to my message? You angry?”

”My phone number is also not lifted? Answer my phone, baby! At least reply to my message.”

”Kila darling?”

Syakila quickly replied to a message from Sardin.

”Sorry sister Kila just got back. Kila just took a shower. So it's true that the brother of the owner of Mitra tv, means it's also true that the news that Kila heard that brother will be engaged?”

After the message was sent Syakila saved the phone and changed clothes. After changing, he again grabbed the phone and checked whether there had been a reply to a message from Sardin or not.

”She has not responded.” Syakila laid her body lethargic and scowled on the bed. Thinking of his uncle's words.

Tok tok tok tok

I heard the door of his room knock. He got up and got out of bed. He opened the door of his room. Yuli was standing in front of her room.

"Why?"

"There's a sister's friend in front.” replied Yuli.

"Oh. Tell him to wait a minute.”

Syakila went back into her room and combed her still wet hair. Then he came out of the room wearing a red shirt and brown knee-length leggings.

Syakila went ahead to meet her friend. Arriving in front of how surprised Syakila was to see Sardin who was already sitting in a chair with his mother and sisters.

Luckily, Uncle and Aunt went home. But, why did big brother Sardin come here? Oh, not-don't because I was late replying to the message. So, he thought I was angry, and he came here to explain it to me directly.

”Kakak? Why is sister here?” ask Syakila who was sitting next to her mother.

Sarmi who heard Syakila's question, he immediately hit Syakila's thigh slowly.

”Syakila, what's the question?"

Syakila smiled shyly. ”Sorry, Mah." Syakila looked back at Sardin who was sitting on a single sofa in front of her.

Ck beautiful is really a person. Loss if I take off a natural clear like this. I love you Kila. I love you.

”Sorry Kila if brother visits your house without telling you first.” Sardin said.

"It's okay, Son Sardin, as long as we stay in this town. Just this time there is a male friend Syakila who came to the house to look for Syakila.” Sarmi who spoke Sardin.

”Mama!”

"Yes brother. Mama is right, just brother is a friend of Syakila especially a guy who came to the house to find Asya.” Hardin confirmed his mother's speech.

”Adik!” Syakila stared intently at Hardin.

Oh, so it's true what Syakila said to me. So, I'm the guy who came to this house to find Syakila. Oh my pleasure my heart. Kila, brother really loves you.

Sardin smiled broadly. ”What did your aunt and sister really say?"

”Em...nothing need to come here?"

Syakila ignored Sardin's question, he asked Sardin again to come to see him.

”Someone you want to talk to Kila. K__”

”We talk on the terrace alone kak.” Syakila cuts off Sardine's speech. ”Mama, Asya to the terrace first same brother Sardin.”

"Yes dear. Speak both.” said Sarmi.

Syakila had already moved from her seat and stepped onto the terrace.

”Tante, Sardin after Kila first.” Sarmi nodded. Sardin went to the terrace of the house to meet Syakila.

While Sarmi, he went to the kitchen to help Fatma cook. Because Sarmi's daughter has five, she shares the housework with them so that everyone does not expect each other to do homework.

And tonight is Fatma's job cooking.
