Meeting Point

He said, what we say is a do'a, so it is appropriate that people speak well. Because what we say sometimes comes back to us. If you can be honest, Aretha would love to get recognition from her biological parents, if she was their child, their biological child. Although her presence is undesirable, the girl is incapable of lying, if in fact. He also wanted a complete family.

No, it does not mean that Aretha does not appreciate all the struggles that have been done by Azka, oma, Opa, father or brother Rama. It's not that he doesn't love people who have sacrificed everything for him. Only, there were times when he wondered if his biological parents had ever regretted, throwing Aretha away just like that. At least, did they ever love him and miss him?

Aretha is grateful, very grateful to be surrounded by good people who always protect her and love her. Although Aretha lacked affection, but she would never beg for love. Moreover, now that his biological parents have lived happily, they have had a complete family that they have been waiting for his presence.

The presence of Aretha will ruin their happiness, because Aretha is a thorn that should never grow. He is not a thorn in the tangaki of a rose, he is a thorn in the stalk of a sunflower, nor should he exist and grow there.

By using the car owned by Kak Rama, Aretha and her brother went for dinner three along with brother Asma. Because there were affairs with some of his friends, Sis Asma finally left after his affairs with his friends were finished. However, it has been a long time since Asma never again came to Jakarta, so it is certain that his sister-in-law's candidate mengindukam together with friends and friends.

"Dek" called Rama while glancing at Aretha at a glance and then returned to focus on staring at the highway.

"Yes brother?"

"So my brother accidentally heard your chat with Oma and Asma" said Kak Rama as he glanced at Aretha who was staring at him "sister asked you, are you seriously not going to continue your education, and will learn the lessons of Islam in pesantren abi and umi?" Ask afterwards.

Aretha took a deep breath, then looked at Brother Rama stick "in the beginning anyway. But I think I should think again, Oma does not agree with my choice not to go to college" he said

With a face full of smiles, Rama rubbed Aretha's head slowly. "Sir, are you serious about your wishes? Why did you change your mind and give up your dreams as a psychologist?" Ask streak.

"Then,, I think, psychologists were great people who were able to bring back the spirit of life that had long been extinct. They're great people who are able to provide motivation when we really need it. That's why I want to be a psychologist. I want to help people who need passion and motivation to live, I want to be a place to lean, for people who have no place to lean. But,, after Azka's departure. Now I realize that I'm cured not only because of the help of a psychologist or psychiatrist, but because Azka is by my side. He was there to accompany me and motivate me to always survive"

Rama stopped his car, then stared at his beloved sister. So many moments that he has missed, not just closing his eyes about the actions of his stepmother. Rama was also not there beside Aretha, when the girl really needed her figure. Indeed, Rama felt that if he was a useless brother, a brother who was not there when his sister really needed him to be by his sister's side.

"Dec, sorry brother. Sorry for not being around you, when you really need a sister. Sorry" Rama clasped Aretha's hand tightly, looking at her sister with a look of regret.

The little girl shook her head quickly "no big brother, you don't have to apologize. Brother is there when Are needs brother. All this time, big brother didn't really leave Are alone. When Are needs a solution, when Are needs a friend to chat, brother is always there and take brother time. Brother even gave monthly money to Are, when brother had the opportunity to leave Are completely, when brother could leave without coming back home. Brother didn't do it, brother came back home, and accompanied Are here"

A warm hug, Aretha got from her dear sister. Yes, brother Rama did not really leave him, he was still on the side of Aretha despite being separated by distance. Aretha, too, will never blame her brother's choices, like the father who decided to remarry. Brother Rama also, needs space for him to accept all reality, needs a place for him to complain. And Aretha was not a home that could provide warmth for her brother.

"Daddy, whatever your decision is. Whatever life choices you want to choose later, your brother will always support you. If indeed you are close to the almighty Allah SWT, able to make you calm and choose to survive, then you will support it. Brother himself will say it directly to Oma" said brother Rama while wiping the tears that fell down Aretha's cheeks

"But sister,, Oma said...."

"Second, there is no harm in giving up in the middle of the road, there is no harm in you turning back and looking for another way that is the right way you want to go. Instead of continuing your steps, but you get lost later, and you are not happy with the path, you better go back home and find another path that you really want to go. There is still so much time deck, there is still plenty of time for you, chasing your dreams, regardless of the future you will be a psychologist or not. Importantly, you're happy with your life on deck, because you deserve all of that"

"maksih sis, thanks for being Are's older brother, thank you for accepting Are's presence" Areth wrote.

Rama returned to ride his motorcycle, the day was getting night, Asma must have been waiting at the deposit.

"dek, come with brother to the back of the board. There are also pesantren that you can make a place to learn. It doesn't have to be abi and umi, does it? Brother had also talked everything over with Asthma and father, they agreed. Compared to living here alone, it's better to go with Asthma's brother and sister"
