Princess Yasmine the heart-luring. Such was the meaning of the name of this quiet girl. Beautiful, of course. Although not much chattering, in silence it has attracted the attention of many men. Not only men, women are often amazed at the beauty of their face.
Cheap smile?. Seems not. But that doesn't mean Yasmine is an arrogant girl. From childhood living with adoptive parents, experiencing the ridicule and humiliation of the neighbors since the Little Sister was born, making Yasmine who was once jolly now becomes quiet.
The son of bait, that's what people call it. As is customary, something somewhat different would be the babbling of the neighbors, and the fact that Yasmine was just an adopted child, from a long-time couple with no children, she said, making it a babbling material after the birth of the younger sister.
Just graduated from elementary school, when the younger brother was born into the world. Either get inspiration from where, Yasmine asks to be input into the boarding school alone. In addition to avoiding babble that disturbs the peace of mind, Yasmine wants to live in an Islamic environment, considering both parents are a couple who are always busy with the business they are in.
"Dear Yasmine, did you deliberately stay away from Father and Mother, because of the babble of the neighbors?" the father had asked that when the girl asked at school to the boarding school.
Moaning slowly"No Dad. Yasmine just wants to learn to teach better" he reasoned.
"But son, that way you will live independently there."
"Nothing Mom. Yasmine was used to it, and Yasmine used to live in an orphanage" the little girl smiled faintly. While the hearts of the two foster parents are slashed like a sembilu. Indeed, their affection for him will not be replaced, even though their biological children have been born into the world. The taste has a portion of each, against Yasmine as well as against the newborn baby girl.
Neighbors, it really can't be ignored. They were rebuked, but they said that what they said was reality. So why should they be silent while what they say is the truth. Tired of hearing the endless babbling of neighbors, the couple is forced to send Yasmine to a boarding school, just like what the little girl wants.
"Father and Mother leave you here to study religion. Remember, son, this doesn't mean that Mom and Dad don't want to babysit you anymore" the man's voice trembled. His fingers rubbed the head of the princess he loved so much. So did the mother, since then there have been many clear feathers falling on both cheeks.
"Honey, once a month we will pick you up for a vacation at home" said the mother. Then turn to look at Ustadzah who is with them"Yes right Ustadzah, santri here can go home once a month right?."
"Yes Mother. If not invited by the family, there will be a bus that takes them home to their respective homes" said Ustadzah with a round face.
"That's right. So once a month Yasmine is going home huh. Go home to our house."
"Yes Mother" very slowly. The girl looked down.
"Son, I'm sorry you can't keep our neighbors quiet. Until you choose your way to this place."
"It's okay Dad."
"Remember all right, son. Until whenever you are our son. We are all family!!." Full of emphasis, the couple emphasized to him.
"Yes, Mom."
Before her parents left, Yasmine kissed the sister's soft cheek"Dek Rania, look after Dad and Mom."
There are many moments when parents release their daughter's son to study at the boarding school, but events like Yasmine are rare. The two Ustadzahs present there shed tears, seeing Yasmine's kink. The truth cannot be hidden from them, with a heavy heart the couple revealed the truth that Yasmine was not their flesh and blood. The girl was adopted as a child at the age of nine. The thing that made Yasmine ask to be schooled there was they revealed to the Ustadzahs, with the aim that they could comfort Yasmine, as well as understand the fragile state of her heart.
Now the little girl is grown up. He has been Santriwati for five years in the cottage. Speak soft words, yet firmly in place. The last two years he was appointed to be security, checking the innate santri and escorting them while undergoing duties in the kitchen of Mr. Kyai Bahi.
"Oh Allah, calm my heart down when I meet him. I really don't want this heartbeat to make me embarrassed and act strange in front of him" Yasmine's heart voice, when several times met Syailendra, Kyai Bahi's favorite grandson.

"So you're going to run two businesses??. It's not easy Arjuna!!. Being the CEO of one company alone has taken a lot of time. How about we get to two companies?" talking through a phone call, does not hinder the activity of Enda creative with his cuisine. This young chef is so good in the same field as Abi.
"If you were me, would you have any other choice?."
You think while arranging dishes into dishes"If you have to live both, I can't. You have to choose one of them. Arjuna, remember the limits of our abilities as human beings, not for the sake of big profits to become workaholics. Forgetting the time for yourself to rest, how will it hurt?."
"Where?" Juna asked back.
Arjuna's shoulder trembled, without a sound he laughed at the attitude of the Brother"Well that Abang knew. I asked Juna."
"Heiii, Brother is advising you. Don't get sucked up like this!."
"I'm not being so bad. The story isn't finished yet, but Brother snatched right away."
Now it's Enda's shaky shoulder turn, but Enda's laughter broke so crisp"Hahaha, alright. Finish the story."
Arjuna told me again. Of course Enda already know his favorite will Game bring him to study in the department of Computer Science. So far he pioneered a software development company with friends in college, a young Australian Korean who settled in Indonesia. Friends during this lecture are also descendants of the founder of the University where Arjuna studied first.
After Arjuna finished telling the story, then Enda understood the meaning of Sister like this friendship.
"Try from the beginning you said the company was handed over to Bae. You won't misunderstand."
"Not handed over. Arjuna won't leave the company we started out with."
"Yes Abang ngerti. Now Bae is more focused on the company. While you are more focused on the business that Grandpa Abian built. That right?."
"Yes. I mean, I mean."
"Oh. But you are still a leader in two companies. You have a lot of money dong. No intention to donate some of that wealth to Grandpa Bahi's boarding school?." There's a shrimp behind the bakwan. If it's a matter of money, Enda always leads Arjuna to the right path, one of them by donating to the boarding house of the Grandfather.
"Yes Bang. I do have such thoughts. I peeked at the savings first huh. I want to build a dwelling in the village where Grandma Adila lives. It's not good to ride in Grandma's house, Grandma's house is small."
You listen to Arjuna. That silence made Arjuna ask"Why silence?."
"It's been a while. You're still disappointed by the proposal that was rejected?."
"No" said Arjuna immediately.
"Certainly, why would you want to make a dwelling in the village?. You must have intended to stay there, right?. Because you can't bear to see the disappointment of Dad with Mom."
"Yes, I will stay there. But not because the proposal was rejected. I feel comfortable living there."
"Same father Mother?."
"They agree, it's good Mother said. I can take care of Grandma. Grandpa is busy working, Om is also busy abroad. While Dad and I do not want to leave the beach residence, the business there is also good."
"Om artist?."
"I don't know. The artist is busy. Especially since becoming a father, he was flooded with offers of work continues.",
"Alhamdulillah. Yes already, will make a dwelling for me too yes."
Seriously or not kidding, Arjuna agreed to Enda's wishes.
To be continued...
Happy reading do not forget like fav and comments yes.
