Tok....
Lika knocked on Lia's room, tonight it was 10 o'clock past, Kezia and Nando were asleep, Ricky was also asleep because of fatigue with his activities just now, the atmosphere of the house was quiet. Lika kept thinking with Lia, therefore she tried to go down to talk to her sister.
Lia came out of her room, apparently she had not been home for long, as she had not changed her clothes.
"Soak Sis...." Said Lia while walking then they sat on the edge of Lia's bed.
"You just got home?" Ask Lika.
"Yes Brother.tadi jammed..." Sahut Lia's.
"With Burhan?"
"Yes Brother..Why did you suddenly ask that?" Tanya Lia started to get nervous.
"How many times have you been picked up by Burhan?" Lika asked back. His eyes stared hard at his sister.
"Why the hell, brother? Kepo aja deh ah. I also have privacy.I am not a child anymore brother who must be supervised...." Tukas Lia's.
"Lia...didn't we keep honesty all this time? If you have anything or want anything...can you tell me the story of your sister or Grandma? Aren't we family?" Lika asked while holding Lia's shoulder facing towards her.
"Don't want me to be honest about what?"
"Your relationship with Burhan said Grandma, several times she caught you often alone with Burhan...Lia..kakak please you can keep your attitude..."
"Ooh....Brother is so shy with me because Burhan is Mbok Narti's son, right? Brother shy? When I was with Leo, my brother was not this fussy.iya right..kakak Shame because Burhan son Mbok Narti..a household assistant! Right...!!" Lia Seru. His eyes are starting to look red.
Plakk!!!
Lika slapped hard on Lia's cheek, the girl grimaced holding her red cheek.
"Lia...! You're with a good sister....! brother never blames you for who you like.everyone has the right to love and be loved...Burhan is a married man..they are not divorced yet...do you want to be considered as a destroyer of people's households??!" Asked Lika with her high tone. Lia speechless.
"Said Mas Burhan..." Mumbled Lia quietly.
"Lia..you are still very young.Your path is still long.I don't want you to fall into things far away...what am I gonna say??" Lika.
"Sister.forgive me.actually me and Mas Burhan liked each other...Mas Burhan is not confident.because he is aware, he is only the son of a housekeeper.he is ashamed.but I dare to swear.I never do negative things...we just walk together.that's all..." Lia. Her tears started to flow. Lika hugged her sister's body which began to sob.
"Lia.jodoh that will not go where.you remember.we are also not a rich man.I am just a teacher who with my salary can support you and Grandma, with my mediocre salary I also try to be able to send you.now you have a chance to go to college.use that opportunity to achieve your dreams..." Said Lika while rubbing Lia's hair.
"Then..how about Mas Burhan?"
"You can certainly relate to him.asal is still within reasonable limits...My husband is planning to give Burhan a lecture so that Burhan has a higher education, and Mbok Narti will be proud of him too..." Answer Lika.
"Oh..so good Mr. Ricky.when if you see.we all hitchhike from him.I'm so embarrassed.I shouldn't have done anything because of my stupidity..." Sesal Lia's.
"It's not too late if you want to improve yourself.Say be honest with Grandma.he always thinks of you..."
'Yes Kak..tomorrow I will tell the same Grandma.trthank you Kak..."
"Lia.maafin brother who slapped you..now you rest..." Lika said as she turned her body and stepped out of Lia's room.
Lika directly walked up the stairs to the top to her room. Ricky still seems to be asleep. Given is still asleep in her baby box.
Slowly Lika approached her husband and gently kissed his forehead, Ricky wriggled but went back to sleep again. Lika followed sleeping beside him.

That morning, after the children left for school, Ricky and Lika called Burhan and Mbok Narti, where there was Grandma and also Lia. Looks like Ricky was about to talk about something. They all sat in the living room.
"No Mbok.just calm down...." Replied Lika who was sitting next to Mbok Narti.
Grandma's face looked a little calm, maybe Lia had told Grandma all this morning. Burhan seemed to be sitting down, not daring to raise his face.
"Burhan..today you come with us..we will find the best campus for you..you still want to continue your school, right?" Ricky asked, looking at Burhan. Burhan was surprised.
"A...what Sir? Campus?" Burhan is in disbelief.
"Yes, said Mbok Narti you graduate from High School.if you study with a major that suits your talent.you will get a better job...moreover, you will also boast of your mother..." Obviously Ricky.
"But sir.the cost of college is expensive..." Tukas Burhan's.
"You don't worry.I'll pay you.on condition that you solve your problems..." Said Ricky.
"Sir..meaning Father?"
"You clarify your status.if you want to return with your wife yes back..If not then you have to divorce her.so men must firmly make a decision..." Added Ricky.
"Well sir.I was in a hurry to get married at that time.I will divorce my wife as soon as possible.I want to focus on college for my future...Thank you for giving me the opportunity to live a better and better life..." Burhan said as he inching to kiss Ricky and Lika's hands alternately. Mbok Narti looks to shed his tears.
"Remember Burhan.You honor your mother.Give her pride.and never let her down..." Added Ricky.
"Well Sir..." Sahut Burhan's.
"Sir Ricky..thanks..." Mbok Narti said in tears.
"Yes Mbok..." Answer Ricky.
"And you Lia. You must also focus on your education.Do not waste your youth, there is nothing you hide from your Grandmother and Brother.You must respect them?" Ricky asked who was looking at Lia.
"Thank you, sir.trthank you..." The answer.
"Good.now get ready.we're leaving....Lia, we're taking you to college..." Ricky. Then they moved from their own places.
Ricky climbed the stairs up to his room, he was about to pick up his laptop that was left behind, because after dropping off Burhan, he was going to New school, he had an appointment with some colleagues there. Lika hurried to follow him from behind.
"Lord...!" Call Lika. Ricky turned his head, Lika was already in front of him while holding Given.
"What's the matter, baby?" Ask Ricky.
"Thanks yes.you are so wise.Your words are so touching.without anyone getting hurt.My husband is really a dream..." Lika.
"Thank you only?"
"Yes..What else is it...?"
"Give me a present..."
"What gift?"
"What's important is that you know it will make me happy...." Lika seems to think.
"I know.attach your face..." Ricky brought his face closer.
"Cup.left cheek for the goodness of your heart.cup..right cheek for your wisdom..muaach..." Ricky had a big smile getting a lot of kisses this morning. Truly the most beautiful gift.
