Love From Space

Mother's Advice

In the end, Nura and Tio were unable to escape from Mom's nagging ahead of the maghrib. Both were given severe punishment for both.

Nura and Tio are being punished for washing clothes together at the weekend. The work that is usually undertaken by Mother or Sister Eci.

"Why are you guys? You guys are already big. Why do you like to make noise like a kid?" Tegur Mother did not understand the commotion of her two children.

Nura and Tio lowered their heads deeply. They were truly sorry for inviting Mother's anger.

"I'm sorry, Mom." said the two almost simultaneously.

"Tell me to Mom. What really happened? Why did you guys make a fuss like that?" Ask Mom curious.

Tio immediately raised a threatening look at the older brother. And Nura understood the meaning of her sister's gaze.

"Mm. There's nothing, Mak.." answered Nura covering up her true reality.

'Duh. This sin, anyway. Sorry yes, Mak.pity Tio if Nura tells you about Sisil, ' murmured inner Nura.

"Seriously nothing?" Ask Mom not to believe it.

"I.yeah, Mother.."

"Assalamu'alaikum! Uh, on what? How quiet is this?" Sapa Sis Eci who just came home from work.

He shook Mom's hand and extended his hand towards Nura and also Tio for them to kiss. After that, Brother Eci took a sitting position next to Mother.

"Why, Mom?" Ask Brother Eci to Mom.

"These are your two sisters, Ci. It was a storm this afternoon. Tio gedor-gedor door Nura. Forgot the same ethics," Mother's story on Kak eci.

"uh? You why Yo?" Ask Brother Eci now to his younger brother.

But Tio was silent.

"Rho? Can you explain to sister what makes you noisier?" Ask Kak Eci then to Nura.

And Nura also joined the soundless compact.

Both of them know very well, if Brother Eci gets to know the reason for the commotion this afternoon, surely Brother Eci will talk about it for years even decades later. Because Kak Eci is the culprit of her bucket in their small family.

Be finally the two smallest children of the Mother also chose to close their mouths.

Realizing that he would get an answer from both of them, suddenly Sis Eci got up and said to everyone in the living room.

"Eci wants to go to the room first, Mom. Take a shower first. Maghrib again," said Brother Eci later.

However, Kak Eci's steps were not immediately addressed to his own room. Instead he covered first to Nura's half-open room.

Quietly, Brother Eci sneaked into his sister's room. And he found a piece of Tio's photo lying on the bed.

Taps. Taps. Taps. Taps.

Brother Eci rushed out of the room and approached Mom. He then showed a photo that he managed to loot from Nura's room.

"Mak! Mak! Mak! Eci knows why these two krucils are in a storm! Si Tio already has a girl, Mak kayaknya!" Said Brother Eci sounding surprised.

"What?!" Pekik Emak who immediately grabbed a photo from the hands of Kak Eci and saw her fixed.

Meanwhile, Tio who was late to realize that his picture was now in the hands of Mother was finally able to just bow down lethargic.

'Ah! Damn it! Having a sister is hard!' rutuk Tio in the heart.

And Nuta lowered his head. He felt regret and also guilt towards Tio, in addition to her. Because of his carelessness that put the origin of the photo, so that Kak Eci can find it so easily.

Nura also raised his protest against Brother Eci.

"Yes, you are asked why, even just be quiet. Want to not want to do Uncle find out for himself the answer. How can Brother as your brother be quiet if you're in trouble right?" Shaut Kak Eci defended herself.

"No problem whatsoever!" Sergey Nura fended off Kak eci's accusations.

"Seriously nothing? That's about your curses yesterday about the vowok you're appraising how?" Todong Kak Eci unravels the disgrace of his sister.

"Sir Sci!! Why are we talking about it here?!" Shouted Nura in disbelief.

The girl's eyes were already flushed.

"Then, next time if the parents ask, don't lie dong!" Pointing Eci again, reprimanding the sister.

"Nura didn't lie!" Nura Sanggah.

"Yes. Just hiding a secret is that what he meant? It's the same name, Ra! We are one family. What's wrong is open the same family itself," said Kak Eci later.

Nura did not answer. He just stared angrily at Brother Eci. Meanwhile Tio still lowered his head without commenting on the debate happening before him.

Soon after, Mom broke the debate.

"Eci! Already have. You go back to your room first! Let Mom handle this," said Mom suddenly.

"But Mak.."

"Eci..!"

Finally, after receiving a firm look from Mother, Sister Eci decided to take her steps towards the room. And this time, he actually went straight to his own room.

"Come, Tio.. Mom won't force you to tell me everything you've been through. About this photo, Mom will return it to you, Yo. Please forgive your brother if you think, Brother Eci has revealed your disgrace. He's khilaf. Likewise with the wrong Mother by scraping this problem too deep," said Emak at length, while returning a photo belonging to Tio.

"Although that's the case, Mother can understand that Kak Eci's intentions are also good. She's, like Mom's worried about you two, son. We love you guys. That's why, we hope we can remain united into one whole family," continued Emak conveyed his advice.

"Just hope, every time you face the problem, whatever it is, you can still think clearly. So that you can take wise action. Who don't hurt other people's hearts. And also don't hurt yourself,"

"About the commotion in the afternoon today, Mom will forget about it. But the punishment for you must be carried out. You gotit?"

Nura and Tio instantly nodded.

"Emak a little bit understand that you also start growing up. You guys are grown. And may also have started to like the opposite sex respectively,"

"Emak won't blame you just because you like someone. Just, please remember Mom's message, son. You must be responsible for each of your actions. Including that feeling of like,"

"Don't hurt anyone else's heart. Take care of yourself each. Just like it. Because we never know, if at any time the liking can turn into hate. But I hope you never keep the embers of hate in your hearts, son.."

"Live in peace. Live with pride in yourself. Be humble to others. And remember also the norms and ethics that exist in the environment around us. Including religious norms, too,"

"You understand, don't you, Ra? Yo?" Ask Mom to close her advice.

"Yes, Mak.." answered Nura and Tio compactly together.

Shortly afterwards, there was the sound of adzan maghrib reverberating. The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became quiet.

The three khusyu heard the chanting of the adhan proclaimed by the muezzin in the mosque which was located quite close to their house.

After the chant of the Adhan was finished, Mother said again,

"It has. Now, get ready. We pray at home. Yo, you're the priest!" Mother's word is undeniable.

"Yes, Mak," again, the two youngest Emak also answered compactly and loudly.
