Last Ramadan for Nayla
Protecting Nayla
"You've come home, Nayla." Mr. Arman said, the man was already in Nayla's room. Nayla was just about to perform the prayer, but because her papa went into her room, Nayla was forced to abandon her intention.
Nayla is starting to worry now, she is afraid that papa will hit her again, David and Tina are not there anymore, fearing that they will fall asleep.
"W-what's the matter pa?" ask Nayla nervously.
"You're still pretending to be stupid, you think why would I have David and Tina pick you up, huh?" snapped the man "I want to teach you a lesson, so you don't become a careless child anymore." Mr. Arman started pulling Nayla's hair and dragging her towards the bathroom. Nayla started screaming in pain and she kept calling David by name, her hair was like it was going to come off her scalp.
"Papa stop pa! Nayla's sorry, she didn't mean it." Nayla said, The little girl cried hoping that her papa would be merciful to her even if only a little.
Mr. Arman did not want to hear it, he continued to sink Nayla's head into the bathtub, Nayla even almost lost her breath.
"Pa,hen--" Nayla did not have time to talk because Mr. Arman drowned his head again, it continued to do many times, making Nayla's body weak, she was still a child not worth being treated like that.
"Pa-- stop!" david shouted he was angry to see the barbaric behavior of his father, while Tina immediately hugged his sister.
"Why did you come here? To defend him don't care!" said the man in a high tone.
"Pa, Nayla has done little wrong and the punishment you have given her has even gone so far." Tina defended her sister.
"You two ya--" Mr. Arman raised his hand about to hit Tina,but not so the man prefers to go from there because it is useless to continue that there will be anger even exposed to Tina and David.
Tina and David help Nayla wake up, the little girl's clothes are wet, so Tina tells David to take a change of clothes for his sister so she doesn't get cold.
"Where is sick?" tina asked attentively.
"My head hurts," complained Nayla while holding her head.
"Papa more and more evil days, forgive us yes Nay for being late to help you," said David sad.
"Nayla shouldn't have come back here" murmured Nayla, as if talking to herself.
"I'm sorry papa ya, we just pray that papa and mama quickly open the door of his heart to be able to accept you as you are," said Tina expectantly.

"Papa don't have to ranting next to mama, for free papa is angry with Nayla every day, which there is more and more makes David and Tina more affectionate with him," said Amel's mother, said,she was tired of hearing her husband get angry.
"I'm surprised that the boys haven't known since when they became familiar with Nayla." Said Mr. Arman.
"Yes since papa hit him that day, now you accept yourself as a result right, over time David and Tina will hate both of us." Ms. Amel blamed her husband.
"Mom's kok so you're guilty of papa anyway?" mr. Arman does not accept himself to be blamed.
"Already ah... Males mama arguing with papa, mama sleeping alone." Ms. Amel immediately poured down her body and pulled the blanket, Pak Arman could only stay still with his mind floating around somewhere, even when they would continue to hate the youngest child.

with mind.
"Don't be too focused as well as bi, the arrival of umi was not aware of it, '" said Bu Fitri.
"Eh umi, I'm sorry abi is too focused because from last night Nayla's mind continues." Said Mr. Jufri while drinking coffee brought by his wife.
"How about this, isn't Nayla Arman's son?"
"Yes, Nayla is indeed the son of Mr. Arman and Ms. Amel," replied Mr. Jufri confirming. The look on his face also looked sad, he thought about the words of bu Iis who told how difficult the life of Nayla and her grandmother in the village.
"Why is abi's face so sad, is there anything bad anymore?"
"Not a bad thing on earth, more than that." Answer Mr. Arman while putting the empty glass back on the table.
"Tell me the same umi bi, umi also want to hear." Pinta the woman.
"Amel not only abandoned his son, he also never cared about his mother's difficult life in the village. Abi yesterday came to the house of Nayla and her grandmother, their house is rickety, not habitable location is also not comfortable to live in, even residents there no one cares." Mr. Arman smiled bitterly recalling the lives of Nayla and her grandmother without anyone caring at all.
"Bi, how about we get Nayla to stay here?" bu Fitri's proposal asked for an opinion from her husband.
"Sir Arman and Amel must not agree to this, they will not let Nayla go from there" replied Mr. Arman.
"If you have not tried we will not know bi, then Nayla also umi see she is happy to be here, she needs genuine affection bi, even if she is,amel and Arman don't want Nayla either. He was only used as a place to vent their anger pity Nayla bi," his eyes look bu Fitri glazed at that time.
"Let's get dizzy thinking about this problem." Mr. jufri then fell silent.

"Why did you come here?" ask Amel to Sinta's second wife.
"I don't want our relationship to be bad, yes even though I am his second wife mas Arman, but will I continue to be this tough on me?" ask the woman gently.
"I'm not very good at judging others, nor do I know what foul intentions you had until you suddenly came here." Miss Amel said cynically.
"Sir, all has happened I also have a child with mas Arman, so inevitably also have to accept me, I am here also have no other intention mbak,I just want our relationship to be okay." Ms. Sinta seems to have a better nature than Ms. Amel.
"Yes how else the rice has become porridge, I also do not mind this anymore as long as you also do not make my relationship with mas Arman tenggang." Miss Amel reminded.
"I won't do that mbak, it's all coming home to mbak himself, if Mbak Amel can keep the feelings of mas Arman then your relationship will be fine." Sinta replied, she put her business card on the table right in front of Amel while saying "If it takes anything you can contact me, I just want our relationship to be better that's all." Further again.
Miss Amel took it and after that smile, her heart was calm now it turned out that her husband's second wife was not like what she had been thinking all along.
