Love Above the Covenant

Good night

"Sister Rina, so leave tomorrow, sister?" lila said to Karina who looked again to clean clothes and some had been put in a large tote bag.

Karina smiled trying hard to wave at her sister, Lila also approached her.

"It looks like Lila baby, remember our agreement yes, "Kangen each other, pray for each other, have to strengthen each other so that our lives change." Lila smiled at each bedtime Her sister always crammed the words reinforcement and motivation. Until memorized even though the true meaning is not all Lila understand.

Lila nodded with a smile, limited to her understanding.

"Remember always those words surely our lives will change will not be sad anymore, and Lila the spirit of learning also Kak Rina the spirit of work." said Karina strengthen her sister, while holding both shoulders Lila.

"When did he leave?" ask Lila.

"Tomorrow sweetheart."

"So don't forget to give the news to Miss Elyana, so Lila can talk to Big Brother later ya." said Lila sounds like a message in Karina's ear.

"Of course Lila, even if you are on holiday, you will definitely take the time to go home to this place, see Lila and other friends, as well as Miss Elyana, Miss Aisyah and Mang Ujang it's like our family."

"Yes, brother, thank you. Lila prayed that Brother would always be given smooth work."

Karina did not reply, only nodding and hugging her sister, with a feeling of tightness in her chest.

The face of her mother who had been struggling all her life, raising both of them, continued to work without showing the tiredness that befell her, Karina little girl at that time had understood the difficulties of her parents, working as much as possible to ease the burden of his parents by doing work at home that he can afford, without charging back to his mother who is shaky to connect life by relying on his oddball energy, he said, finally, his mother lost to acute gastric disease suffered, giving up on the state of entrusting her little sister Lila to Karina who was not old enough to be able to work as the foundation of her sister's life.

Her mother died leaving nothing but grief and trauma in the hearts of Karina and her sister Lila, as well as a debt to the stall that was vowed to see her condition so apprehensive.

The reconnaissance of his mother's body was handed over to the social body, all like a knife that slammed into Karina's heart, leaving behind a pain of loss, trauma and a fighting spirit in her heart. Because the factors of circumstances and poverty are all in his swallow because it's a fact of his family's circumstances. So unimaginable is a little girl like Karina who is happy to have her own world playing to and fro with peers, attending a cheerful school demanding knowledge, but Karina has been burdened by a sister, but Karina has been burdened by her, want to not be his responsibility. Karina wiped the tears not wanting to look fragile in her sister's eyes.

Karina was in the second grade of High School and because of Panti's policy of being able to continue the C package school, Ms. Elyana saw the potential that Karina had in coming to the orphanage already had an educational basis, she said, seeing Karina's achievements so good it's a pity if you don't have a graduation certificate.

"Tonight we're still sleeping together, remember! do not be sad because in the future we will be happy, believe the same brother because day is also not always day there will be night and we are also not always in a sad state, will definitely come happy to us, will certainly come happy to us, Brother will pick up that happy, you're patient, you're good here, pray for Brother and diligently learn." always that and that's what Karina told her sister Lila, she said, always feeling that there is not enough of what is said and advice will accompany her anxiety, but Karina realizes Lila must gradually understand everything.

Can not be denied the heavy heart felt brother sister's heart when separated, the two parted by suppressing their respective feelings, just a hug without speech they did, he said, they feel more than one sadness though not as sad as in the stay of the deceased parents, because they still have hope to meet again.

Karina did not want to dissolve in sadness and saw the innocent face of her sister, quickly climbed into the car, Karina escorted Mang Ujang to the center of Kembang to a large house that needed her energy.

"Mang Ujang, titip Lila ya Mang," said Karina broke the silence between the sound of the car that Karina was riding.

"Yes Neng. Don't worry Neng Rina also knows all the caretakers of the Panti so well, also Neng Lila is also a smart child certainly can adjust, the children a lot of activities, play, achieve, sleep, sleep, know-know-know-how, Neng Rina will also be successful," replied Mang Ujang while glancing at Karina beside him.

"Aamiin Mang, but I first parted with my sister, it felt heavy, probably because of the excessive affection I had lavished on Lila, she said, makes me not believe but Lila also has to be independent not always depend on anyone." Karina's words are like reminding herself that inevitably all must begin to change from her, and the sacrifice must begin.

"Yes Neng, all there is a process if you obey your heart will not go forward." Mang Ujang's words did not hurt.

"I used to feel hate for Ms. Elyana when I was offered Lila there would be an adoption, it was just an offer but I refused it raw, but if you think now, then, it might be better for Lila's future, her education is assured, her life will not be lacking, but my love and responsibility are beyond everything. I feel unwilling Lila in the care of others, even though I realize I have not been able to do anything has not been able to provide guarantees for my sister Lila." said Karina in a sad tone.

"That's normal Neng, the relationship of brothers can not be separated from feelings" said Mang Ujang while passing the teeth of his vehicle.

"Mang Ujang already understand the house where I will work?" karina ended the conversation about her life.

"Elite territory that everyone must know, just look for the block and the number of his house, he said, Neng Rina was lucky to live in a house where on average only successful businessmen and high echelon level officials could live here" said Mang Ujang raised curiosity in Karina's heart.

"I'll just be a nurse in that house Mang, that's the reference. Taking care of the sick while I'm wearing it, not to enjoy all its luxuries, that's also as long as I'm compatible with them and my standard of education." replied Karina felt not confident with her ability which was only training at the Panti.

Karina will try to work as well as possible whatever will happen, only monthly salary will be the motivation of her happiness, will not be taken a little too except for important matters.

'What will his employer like? who is sick and needs treatment? may this be the beginning of a change in my life.'
