Don't Take My Zeline!

Wearied

Stella who fell asleep was jerked awake, her breathing irregular. He dreamed of Aska yelling at him.

Stella tries to set her breath to normal, taking a glass of water near the table next to her mattress. Stella took a sip slowly, she saw the clock on the wall showing one hour early, she immediately went from the mattress to take ablution water to pray tahajud so that her heart became calm.

After finishing the prayer, Stella prayed to the Supreme Being for the health of her family.

O Allah, protect the servant and the whole family from the evil intentions of others. I am a servant in everything that happens. Oh God, my God. May the heart of Amara's servant brother forgive me, your servant is a sinful man. The mistakes of past servants do not deserve to be sorry. Protect the children, and the brothers of O Allah. Make them happy without sadness. Aminnn

Setelah selesai sholat, hati Stella menjadi lebih tenang. Ia pun kembali naik ke atas kasur untuk tidur. Dirinya mengingat kenangan dulu bersama Aska. Namun, Stella mencoba menepis bayangan itu. Ia sudah memutuskan untuk melupakan masa lalu nya itu.

The next morning, Stella wakes up very early to cook food for her sisters. Stella cooks Amara and Tanara's favorite dishes. Everyone had gathered for breakfast, Stella prepared everything. It looks like Amara is lazy to eat with Stella and Rani. However, for Tanara's sake his beloved sister. Amara had to do that. Rani and Zeline are so good at eating Stella's food. Likewise with Tanara who is so missed with her sister's cooking.

"Sister's taste is great. It never changed." praised Tanara. Amara also admitted that her sister's cooking is very good, but she was embarrassed to say it or eat the food greedily. Finally Amara also chose not to spend the food even though he himself still wanted to enjoy it.

"Sister, why aren't we finished?" ask Tanara

"So I'm full, and I have to go to school. If not, it will be too late. Come on, finish your meal and go with brother "

"Aren't you waiting for Tanara? Better brother finish the food brother. Mubazir sis."

"Silver is full, Tanara. Don't force."

"But the new brother ate a little, surely later the sister starved at school."

"When that human will change, Huft!" annoyed Rani who protested with Amara's attitude that was always disrespectful. Tanara also admonished Rani clearly not to interfere in their family problems.

"Sister, my sister Stella is kind enough to take you as her sister. But, that doesn't mean that you can easily interfere in my family, you're just an outsider to me. Please, take care of your brother's attitude like a guest!" As Tanara leaves, Stella tries to prevent Tanara's departure. However, Tanara who was already upset did not listen to her brother's words.

Stella could only be silent, not knowing what to do. Stella looked at Rani who looked so sad with Tanara's words.

"Don't ignore Tanara's words, she's just upset but I'm sure she didn't mean to do it all. Tanara's a good boy, please don't misjudge her and don't tell her. On behalf of Tanara brother apologize huh? Rani don't be sad anymore."

"Rani is not angry with Tanara kak, who she says is right, I am just an outsider who has no right to interfere with your family matters. I'd better just go back to where I came from, brother has been too good to me all this time. I don't want to, my presence is the cause of the riots in the family of my brother."

"No Rani! You're not the cause of the confusion, don't think like that anymore? I apologize for Tanara's words. Don't leave brother and Zeline. Brother loves you very much. So does Zeline, we wouldn't be able to do it without you. Please, do you understand, brother?" Stella was crying, Rani could not bear to see Stella crying. He also apologized for his bad attitude earlier, Rani promised not to behave as she wanted again and keep her attitude.

Stella smiled, stroking Rani's hair. Tell Zeline and Rani to finish finishing their meal. Stella also prepares provisions for Amara and Tanara to take to school.

Tanara went into the room to pick up her bag and met her sister Amara to go to school. Amara asks, why Tanara did not finish her breakfast, Tanara lies if she is full, she does not want to tell Amara so that no more fights occur. Tanara was already very tired of the disputes that were in the house. He wants peace as happy as ever, without any commotion.

"Come, our brother's leaving." Amara agrees with Tanara and goes to school before they leave. Stella stops both of them from giving provisions and pocket money for both.

Amara reluctantly takes Stella's gift, but Tanara forces her to finally make Amara relented and accept the gift from her brother.

Amara and Tanara were escorted by their private driver, at first Rani wanted to apologize but she thought if she would apologize when the two of them had gone home from school. Zeline also supports her mom's decision, after all Zeline does not like the commotion
