Aisyah raised her face and the gazes of the two girls met again. Chiyome immediately turned her face to the plate.so she could hold back her tears so as not to seep out.

oh tears, hold it. Don't fall here....

Aisyah looked at Chiyome who was eating like she was being held back. "Sir, is your cooking bad? I'm sorry, brother?"

Chiyome hurriedly shook her head then went back to enjoying the dish.

after finishing the meal, Mariana invited Chiyome to the family room accompanied by Kenzie.With Mariana passionately put all kinds of sweets into the tuperware and then wrapped it with a thick bag of crackles.

Mariana took the parcel to the living room and handed it to Chiyome.

"To be spent at home" Mariana said as she stroked Chiyome's cheek.

the girl bowed in gratitude and then begged for her part. Mariana tells Kenzie to take Chiyome to her house.

the motorbike they were both riding on now drove down the road and Chiyome stuck her body on Kenzie's back making the young man a little nervous.

"Who's your brother Ken's name?" chiyome asked a little loudly.

"Aisha... Aisyah Fatriana Lasantu. " answered Kenzie completely did not forget to sound a little loud because of the strong wind that hit them.

"Sister?" ask Chiyome again.

"Silver continued.he's my half-sister.originally from Poso, Central Sulawesi, is now studying at Gorontalo State University" replied Kenzie while pulling a motorbike to increase the tempo of the gas. the motorbike is moving.

"Are you.." asked Chiyome, but she did not continue her sentence.

"This is your house?" asked Kenzie to look at the building.

"The rental house." Chiyome replied as she got down from the bollard and stood in front of the fence.

"Can I come in?" ask Kenzie while handing the parcel to Chiyome.

"Maybe.but not this moment" Chiyome said with a smile. "I don't want people here to think we're a perverted couple, I'll live alone."

"Your words, they're tearing at my heart." joked Kenzie as he squeezed his left chest jacket.

Chiyome only replied with a smile until the young man finally resigned and drove his vehicle away from the place.

Chiyome opened the fence and stepped lethargic toward the house, she opened the door and entered and placed a parcel on the table and she threw herself onto the sofa.

that face is similar to my mother...

the semblance of face had made Chiyome surprised and slightly lost control, fortunately she forged her mentality through hard training and was able to manipulate her behavior to be able to quickly master herself.

Chiyome took out her gadget and activated her touch screen pressing whatsapp application and again observed Aisyah's face plastered there shortly, the tears that had been blocked with all their might immediately flooded out like a bandang crashing and soaked his reddish cheeks.

"Sister.." sedu Chiyome interrupted his cries.

...*******...

Fitri was silent when Chiyome reported the incident and devised a completely accurate hypothesis about Fitri's relationship with Aisyah.

"Mother..be honest with me.is my guess?" todong Chiyome in the middle of his hoarse voice because of a lot of crying.sound deheman across there. Chiyome was waiting for her mother's answer.It appears in the video call that Fitri nodded.

📲 "It's true.. She's your sister.she's the mother's daughter of another man, long before your mother met your father." looks Fitri's lips so shaky.the woman came back crying.

Chiyome let out a sigh of relief as if her entire burden was completely gone, yet she wanted to ascertain the status of her half-brother.

📲 "But, when you meet and marry your father, your relationship with that man is no longer there, right?" search Chiyome.

📲 "No. mother with her father Aisyah was divorced 10 years ago." replied Fitri sekhenya.

Chiyome nodded and wiped her tears and snot that were running because of mewek-girls from earlier.Sound voice in the video call called her.

📲 "Yes, mother.." replied Chiyome.

📲 "You're not going to hate mom, are you?" ask Fitri with a snack.

Chiyome cried for a moment again and then adjusted her breathing again.

📲 "I have never hated Mom one bit. I was just shocked, not expecting that here I have a sister who is the truth.

fitri was seen crying in the video call. Chiyome continued her sentence.

Fitri momentarily cried again.then he wiped and turned around.The woman was surprised to see Kameie who had been standing in front of the door with a sharp gaze. Fitri smiled to melt the awkwardness of the atmosphere and then rose to welcome her husband.

"You've come home." welcome Fitri as she kisses the back of the man's hand and then takes off the suit and puts it on a hanger. Kameie let Fitri finish her responsibilities, then they sat down again on the tatami.

"Since when have you had a child other than me?" ask Kameie while folding her sleeves.

"A long time before our meeting. 20 years ago, I once married young and gave birth to a daughter. Our marriage did not go well. finally we divorced when the child was 10 years old. I decided to migrate to Japan to meet my daughter's expenses. When I worked at the diner, we met." said Fitri at length.

Kameie took a breath. "Then, what's the fate of the boy now?"

"He was studying higher education in Gorontalo, living with his biological father and mother" Fitri replied.

"The place where Chiyome is also while studying." muttered Kameie while massaging her chin then looked at Fitri. "Did Chiyome already know the truth ?"

"He just found out by accident" replied Fitri.

"And you put it all out." continued Kameie.

Fitri then prostrated herself touching her husband's thigh. "I'm guilty of hiding this truth from you." sedu Fitri, "If you want us to separate, I'm willing to accept it." the woman shed her tears on the man's thigh.

Kameie choked, but as much as he could restrain himself.turned the back of his wife who was still shaking from crying.

"I don't blame you.." replied Kameie stammeringly withholding her sense of well-being.

Fitri slowly straightened her seat. Kameie reached out her hand stroking his wife's face. Kameie then pulled Fitri's body into her arms making the cry that had originally subsided again gushing again.

while Iechika who had just arrived felt the behavior of her parents was so strange and unusual.

"What's the matter mom? daddy's? is Chiyo-hime in trouble?"

...*******...

Chiyome spent all the sweets in the tupperware.the feeling of blue blending with her activities chewed out the parcel of Mariana's gift. occasionally she cried and rubbed her tears again that fell. after spending all the confectionery, she gave it, he went out to the front porch, letting the night breeze cool his body and heart.

Chiyome straightened up, opened her legs and closed her eyes.The girl concentrated.In the cold morning blind air, the girl practiced one of the styles in karate-do.her legs kicked with agility and straightness. his hands split through the cold air. Chiyomw finished his movement when the clock had shown at 3am.

...******...

in his dream, Aisyah passed through an endless path.on his side grew bamboo stems.he kept stepping to find a temple-like building.Two women, one in a hijab, stood behind him. Aisyah continued to approach until the distance between the two was only a step. The two women flipped. Aisyah looked at the veiled woman who turned out to be her mother.

"How are you, son?" sapa Fitri's.

"I'm fine Ma.." replied Aisyah who wanted to hug her mother.

"Why did you leave me?" aisyah sedu.

"For the sake of your life, son." replied Fitri briefly.

Aisyah turned to look at the girl standing beside her mother.The girl with long hair was wearing a kimono.but strangely her face was very blurred, difficult to recognize.

"Who are you?" aisyah asked to look at the girl spoiledly holding her mother's hand.

"Sister.." call the hazy-faced girl...

...******...

Aisyah woke up from her sleep and tried to understand the nature of the dream she had just experienced.The girl sat at the bedside looking at the wall clock whose hands showed at 3 am.

Aisyah rubbed her face then took the hijab and put it on then came out of the room, across the living room until she arrived in the kitchen.she opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of cold water then poured it in a glass. the girl sat in a chair accompanied by a bottle of water which she kept reprimanding like a thirsty man.

Mariana came out of the room and stepped into the kitchen.His step was held back when she realized there was someone there.His feelings were astonished to see Aisyah sitting alone there, she approached him.

"Mama.." greeted Aisyah with a flat smile.

"When are you here?" ask Mariana.

"Just Ma.." replied Aisyah.

Mariana sat down but opposite Aisyah, she grabbed a short glass and poured cold water from the bottle into the glass.

"What are you thinking, son?" ask Mariana.

Aisyah shook her head and smiled flatly. "Think of new student orientation activities."

this time Aisyah was really lying. Mariana knew the girl would not dare to reveal what she was thinking. Mariana also did not want to force him.The woman nodded and then spent cold water in her glass.

"Why go to the kitchen?" ask Aisyah.

"Mama's insomnia disease relapses." answered Mariana as well.

Mariana looked at the wall clock that showed at 4:37 am straight up.

"It'll be dawn soon" said Mariana.

"Sholat with yuk?" bring Mariana.

Aisyah nodded happily then stepped quickly towards her room.before long the girl appeared wearing a mukena. Mariana had been waiting for him in the living room had also worn a mukena. Both of them performed the fraternal dawn prayer with Mariana as priest.

Mariana hugged the princess warmly. Aisyah rested again and lay her head against Mariana's thigh.The woman stroked Aisyah's head covered with mucus.

"Mama.." call Ayesha. "Would Mom get angry when I refused Papa's gift?"

Mariana smiled. "Mama has no right to scold you. The decision is in your hands." replied the woman slowly.

Aisyah felt a speck of clear water fall on her cheek.she turned her head and realized that the drops of clear water came from tears that wet her cheeks.

"Mama? you crying?" aisha asked, "Are you crying for defending me that is not from your womb?"

Mariana simply answered him with a sob. Aisyah straightened her seat to the eyes of her mother, who was wet.

"Mama, even though you are not the woman who gave birth to me, I will still be devoted to you. However grateful I am, you accept me to be part of your little family." the girl wiped away her mother's tears that flowed continuously like incessant.

"Will you consider me your son? when it's my fault that you forgive me, when I'm happy to call you to support me?" aisyah Pinta

Mariana nodded and immediately rushed back to hug her daughter, this time tighter like she did not want to escape.The two were satisfied to spill their cries at dawn.
