And, even tonight, Kalila was unable to sleep. The girl kept thinking about her mother's words. Kalila let out a heavy sigh, the girl rolled to the left and to the right, looking for a position that felt comfortable, in order to fall asleep immediately. But whatever Kalila's efforts, the girl is still awake.
Is it really not him that Ibrahim meant, the other day?
The question kept coming up all night. Until the girl returned could not sleep until the dawn of the morning. The girl was forced not to close her eyes again after the dawn prayer. Kalila did not want to return to be the moons of the eldest brother.
At dawn, they ate toast together. “Bang Alid once morning leave for the office,” said Kalila, when he saw khalid was neat with his work suit.
“Makanya Brother says, life is hard, Kalila. You can't just relax. Abang's office is sixty kilometers away, it takes more than an hour to arrive at the office, especially Monday like this, the road to the capital must be jammed once.”
Kalila nodded and uttered the letter O. “Why don't you live in Jakarta? So, the trip to the office is not too far,” asked Kalila. But the question from Kalila provoked Khalid's emotions.
“So you'll be close to the office! PT. Adi Putra Group, close from here. If you live in Jakarta, you have to host or contract a house here, if you work at Adi Putra Group. All brother did for you. For the sake of your future, as long as you know it!”
Kalila was unable to speak. Since Kalila did not graduate to a state college, the girl felt, as if she had never been right in Khalid's eyes. His every action and speech always provoked Khalid's emotions. Kalila sighed slowly, imagining her days in Bogor city, would be filled with Khalid's emotional ravings. Certainly every night, Kalila would not be able to sleep well.
“Lagian, land in Bogor is much cheaper, than Jakarta, La. You know the capital yourself. It's very densely populated there. Bogor is more comfortable. The air is more friendly,” clear soft Feni. Nissa's mother did not want Kalila to feel burdened by the words of the husband. Feni knew the mental pressures Khalid had placed on Kalila. Repeatedly Feni advised, Khalid's answer remained the same. All for the future Kalila. He is responsible for the future of his youngest brother.
“Not really. Brother is still able, if you buy a house on the edge of Jakarta. This is all for Lila. We're moving here, so Lila can work comfortably. No need to ride too far, no need to go to work too early like Brother!”
Brakk!
Ms. Alinah, Feni and Khalid immediately looked at Kalila. The girl threw her palm at the table, and hurried to leave the dining table. After two nights with Khalid, Kalila was fed up with the words coming out of her mouth. Drowsiness due to sleepless nights, made Kalila's emotions unstable that morning.
Leaving her legs toward the room, Kalila threw her body into the bed. The girl chose to rest her body, rather than having to argue with Khalid.
It didn't take long, the girl fell asleep.
Meanwhile, Feni looked at her husband in annoyance. So too with Madam Alinah. Ms. Alinah who had always been a reinforcement of Khalid's argument, changed direction. Since vacationing with Dimas the other day, seeing Dimas' treatment of his youngest daughter, made Bu Alinah's mind change little by little.
Looking back at Kalila's smile at the time, made Bu Alinah aware, if her daughter bore the burden. The demands that Khalid gave were too high, to make the girl mentally exhausted—.
“If you're not willing to finance Lila, let your sister Mamak take her home. You don't have to finance Mamak and your sister anymore. Since Rav's been working, the money you've been sending is just Mamak canister. If you ask for compensation for all the costs that you spend on the education of your brothers, let Mamak change all of you, because all that was set aside long ago. Never used Mamak in the slightest,” said Bu Alinah.
Khalid flabbergasted. Just this time she heard her mother say such angry words. The eyes that had always looked at him with pride, now looked at him with disappointment. Looking at his mother with guilt, Khalid approached Bu Alinah. Sitting beside the woman who had given birth to him into the world.
“Alid sincerely Mak,” he said softly. “Sorry that Alid offended Mamak. Not that Alid meant like that, Alid just wanted Lila to know, if Alid loved her so much.”
“Just what you do, it doesn't look like that. What you're doing is looking like you're asking for your return for the sacrifices you made to your sisters!”
Khalid remained silent. He disagreed with his mother's words. If he asks for a favor, it should be, when Rav started working two years ago, that man asks for a reward. But the truth is, Khalid didn't ask Kairav anything. And so is Kalila.
His mother and sisters looked at him with pride. Why is everyone turning against him, now? Is it because Rav has worked and can support his mother and sister, as said by his mother earlier?
Though all he did for Kalila, solely for the happiness of his sister. He even willingly traveled Bogor-Jakarta-Bogor, just for Kalila.
That's what Khalid had in mind.
But the man did not want to argue with his mother. Khalid just kept quiet and apologized. Her mother sacrificed too much for herself and her sisters. Khalid dared not argue with his mother. Doesn't the boy belong forever to his mother?
“Mamak no longer wants to hear you say that to Lila. Lila's been following your wishes all along. Even he set aside his own wishes, for the sake of obeying you,” said Bu Alinah. Khalid simply answered with a nod.
Precisely Alid eases Lila's path, to realize her wishes Mak. His desire to be Abraham's companion. Alid is the one who paved that path. Alid who will make sure, Kalila's dream must be realized. Alid's favorite brother, will be Ibrahim's companion. Will be part of the family of Adi Putra.
