Azan at dawn faintly sounded, the alarm on Abizar's phone woke up the entire house.they immediately performed congregational prayers as usual then continued with their respective activities.


"Mas Izar won't be overtime, will he?" ask Umi while sauteing kale.


"Not knowing Umi, why Mi?" Izar asked Uminya.


"No need to overtime Mas, Umi was afraid Mas Izar was sick if every day tired," Umi pinta on his son.


"Umi don't need to be a baby," he said approaching Umi while kissing her cheek.


"Eh this is the child in Uminya also," Umi protested when Izar had entered the bathroom.


"Mas Izar said, Killa is going to take a bath" he shouted from outside.


"Behold," he answered, and he soon came out of the bathroom.


"Mi," said Fira as her youngest sister was getting ready to take a bath.


"What dear?" answer Umi while turning off the stove.


"Mi, Fira there is a practice of making masterpieces must be dues of Rp.60,000," he told Umi.


"Must pay today, son?" tanya Umi approached Syafira.


"Tomorrow the last morning," he replied as he looked at Izar who was massaging his own legs.


Umi also looked at her son, last night Izar gave work and overtime money of Rp. 150,000.


"The money's still enough, isn't it, Mi?" ask Izar to Uminya.


Umi took the money out of his pocket after spending it this morning, then he counted the rest.


"Still Rp. 136,000, ma'am."


"I think Umi wants to buy detergent as sugar," asked Izar to Umi while Fira had taken breakfast while waiting for Killa to finish bathing.


"Later Mas, the important thing is that Umi cook first for Mas and his sisters,"


"It's still enough, paid now only Mi," Izar said as he stuck his head on Umi's lap.


"Mas Izar will not be part of it" Umi said as she rubbed her son's head.


"Izar will not want to work Mi, God willing there will be a solution again," said Izar now has played his phone.


"Thank you Mas" said Fira holding the brother's hand.


"Student learning, so you can go to college for free" Izar told his sister.


"Can that be it?" ask Fira to her sister.


"Can Deck, you do not update anyway," said Izar stuck his tongue soft.


"Umi, Mas Izar is so," he told Umi.


"Mas, sister let me eat first don't be disturbed."


"Mbak Fira ate for a long time, it was already your afternoon," said Killa sitting in front of Uminya.


"Tu Dek Killa is done, spent first. Let's change to sister for breakfast."


As they were laughing, the door of his house was knocked by someone.


Izar immediately stood up and opened the door of his house, he was surprised by the guests who came.


"Mom Anes, what's going on here?" ask Izar in shock.


Hearing Izar's words, Umi and her sisters were shocked.


"A ... What's wrong, ma'am?" tanya Umi.


"Here, I want to take the diamond ring in this receipt" he said in a loud voice.


Izar was surprised to see the price of the ring at the receipt. He then looked at his mother with a sharp look.


"In a moment," Umi said as she opened her bag.


Umi also gave a diamond ring as a gift from her husband at that time when Umi had just given birth to Syakilla.


"Yes ma'am, I've brought nothing of your husband's. Please do not disturb us, excuse me." Umi said as she walked into the house while Izar and his sisters were still staring in front of the house even though the guest had disappeared from their sight.


"Mas, Sister ... enter Nak," Umi's voice shrieked.


They also walked in with slow steps, could not bear to look at Umi.


"Izar promised, one day Izar bought such a thing for Umi," said Izar while hugging Uminya.


"I don't need that, son. The most precious treasure for Umi is you, not the diamond ring" Umi replied steadfastly without tears.


Umi looks disappointed even though it has been covered in such a way, actually they do not have the heart to leave Umi in such a state of injury, but what power there is no other choice.


"God, Mommy is Abi's car, right?" Killa said when suddenly a car passed by.


"Ah yes Dek," he answered, staring at the car, which was moving away from his eyes.


"Where are Abi's feelings, look at us on foot like this," asked Killa innocently.


"So I don't have the feeling of Dek, if it's not possible that Abi left us like this," he replied annoyed.


"Yasubah Mba let. Inget said Umi can not talk to people," Killa reminded her brother.


"Yes, the astagfirullahalazim" said Syafira.


They stopped at the junction that separated the school. Before continuing the journey do not forget Killa kissed her brother's hand, after which they walked to their respective schools.


Right in front of the school gate, Fira sees Abi there. His father looks very indulgent Bella, the daughter of his new wife. The sweet girl finally shed tears as well after a few seconds of holding her back.


"Syafira is strong, son," the voice suddenly startled his daydream.


She was the mother of Aminah, the homeroom teacher who was initially confused to see the scene but finally he got an answer from some friends of Bella after being interrogated by Bu Aminah.


"I .. Yes, ma'am" he answered.


"Yah yuk entered with Mother," he said softly watching the student cover her grief.


"Yes ma'am, I just want to go through the side door," said Fira did not want to pass in front of the man he called Abi.


He let the student go, his heart ached to see such a scene.


"O Allah, Son, may Allah strengthen your hearts" said Aminah, wiping away her tears.


Today, at the school Fira is being held a meeting of parents to take the results of the Middle Semester Assessment or (PTS) that has been done a few days ago. In addition, it will also be announced who gets the highest score and will get reword from the school as a driver of student spirit to study more vigorously.


Actually Fira wanted to tell Umi about this but she was afraid that later she would see Abi's presence with her new family and would hurt Umi so she chose not to say it.


The show has started. In the hall were seen students sitting with their parents. Just like in the previous year. Fira stared at all the joy of her friends with their parents, Bella was no exception. He strengthened his heart. Tears that can not shed again, she must be a strong girl for Umi and her brother and sister.


The event that was waiting to start, after the opening event and the welcome now comes the time for the announcement of the champion of PTS activities at the school.


His heart was pounding, he was still doing the same thing as last semester when he was accompanied by Abi and Umi to take the stage to take the prize.


The announcement of champion 3 has been mentioned, then the host called the champion 2 and his parents to take the stage. His heart is pounding more, hopefully after this his name is called.


"And ... the first champion in this Semester Central Assessment activity is ... Nadhifa Syafira," the voice of the host echoed in the hall room of her school.


Gratitude was expressed in his heart many times. All eyes were on him. Welcome from the right, left, front, back where Fira was sitting.


"Please for ananda whose name I call to immediately go to the stage with his companion."


Fira's heart jolted, he saw the other two champions walking forward with his parents while Fira was alone without anyone to be with. He strengthened his heart again, then advanced alone unaccompanied.


"The guardian of Nadhifa's brother?" ask the host when Fira gets to the stage by herself.


Fira smiled as she shook her head at the host to code.


The host also understood then continued the awarding ceremony for outstanding students. After the photo with them was directed to go down by the committee.


"Please for the first champion can give a word two first," the host asked Fira to stop his steps.


Fira also gave a welcome, with the firmness of the girl spoke very loudly on the stage.


After thanking the teacher and the school, he also thanked the people he loved even though they were not present.


"This gift, Fira dedicates to Umi who sincerely loves Fira until this moment, always motivates Fira to become a strong woman and keep studying hard. Also for Fira's brother who has buried his ideals to become a scholar and chose to fight so that Fira can still be in this school until graduation later. Thank you Umi, thank you Mas Izar without you, Fira is nothing, hopefully Fira can realize Mas's delayed ideals." he said at the end of the sentence which was greeted with a standing ovation by all the guests present in the hall.


Ms. Aminah, her homeroom teacher and several other teachers also shed tears hearing Fira's words.


"Where can you tell, Umi and her brother?" ask the host for not seeing those called by Fira.


Back Fira showed a smile to cover up her sadness before answering a question from the host.


"Umi at home, please pray that Umi Fira is healthy always, if you are working now," he replied as he looked at the host.


As if representing the guests' questions, the host asked about Fira's father, who was actually in the same place but not with his biological daughter.


"Abi is there but can not accompany Fira standing here, may Abi always be healthy," he replied and a few seconds Fira's eyes to the seat of his father with his wife and child.


The father was bowed down, he was ashamed of his daughter who was so good still prayed for him even though he had hurt his heart.


After the reception, Fira was invited to return to her seat. As he walked he saw Izar standing in front of the door of the hall watching Fira from a distance.


"Mas Izar," said Fira immediately hugging her brother.


"Mas is proud of Syafira," he answered, welcoming his sister's warm embrace.


"Kok tau, Fira kan .." said not finished but cut by Izar.


"Mas accidentally read the notification letter from the school, rather than reading the same Umi so Mas save and Mas promise will come, for Mas's beloved," he said again kissing Syafira's forehead.
