"I just met Maureen and Fabian" I told my mother after putting Lyra to sleep in her room.
"Maureen with Fabian? Didn't Maureen herself say that she was kicked out of her house?"
"Maybe it's just the Chinatown that doesn't like Maureen's presence in the house. But we don't know, do we? What about Fabian? It's not impossible that Mauren and Fabian's brother still hold each other's taste."
"Did you meet them at the hospital?" ask mother.
I shook my head.
"Actually I followed them from the pharmacy. Madam Mala kept pushing me so I could bring Brother Maureen before her. That's why I'm chasing his car."
"Your brother is stubborn. She might admit her mistake" she said.
"Mother's right. Maureen's sister doesn't care about this matter at all. Even lightly he said Rayyan who had not been replaced with Saddam who is still alive, so break even."
"Either your brother's heart is made of. I thought prison would change its bad nature, but it didn't. He's just getting more and more."
"I fear that Mala will come to me at any time and question where Maureen's sister is, while Maureen's own sister will never have good faith in Mala's mother. What if he really sues me to replace Maureen?"
"Does Gibran know about this?"
"Yes, I told him everything."
Mom puts on a smile.
"Mom knows Gibran loves you so much. He won't be silent if you're hurt. So, just calm down."
"Hoey! Hoek!"
"You're nauseous again, son?" asked mom while rubbing my back.
"Yes, Mom."
"Oh yeah, what about your results?"
"The doctor said if I had appendicitis. He suggested that I have surgery soon."
"Operation?"
"Yes, Mom. It was the only way I could heal completely."
"Yes, we should follow what the doctor advises. The doctor knows what's best for us. Oh yeah, I see the closer your relationship with Gibran gets. Lyra was already very comfortable with him. Do you have no desire to, …"
"For what, Mom?"
"Mom think you already know the direction of mother's conversation."
I'm wasting my breath.
"Well, why does this heart still hesitate to open the heart."
"Gibran is a good man and willing to accept your shortcomings. I see Lyra likes her too. So what makes you doubt? You just have to keep your heart steady."
I responded with a smile on my lips.
"It's night, I want to pray first and then rest."
I passed from in front of my mother to the mosque at the back of the house.
Next morning.
"Ehm .. Ma'am," called Fina as I was tidying up Lyra's hair.
"Yes, what's up, Fin?"
"I'm asking for money."
"For what?"
"Ehm .. there was one of my friends who was sick and hospitalized. After school, we plan to see him."
"What is your friend sick of?"
"Ehm .. he just had kidney failure surgery."
"The real misfortune. Yes, I will, I will give you the money.
"What's the matter, honey? Is he sick?" my many.
"don't know. Saddam didn't go to school. Syifa said, Saddam doesn't go to Lyla's school anymore."
Hearing where Saddam was, I suddenly remembered Mala's mom. Saddam doesn't go to Lyra school anymore? What does it mean to change schools. I have to ask Syifa's teacher.
"It's money to see your friend. Enough ' right?'' my words while thrusting two pieces of one hundred thousand denominations on Fina.
"Ehm .. enough, ma'am. Yeah, well, then I'll go first." After greeting me, he also left the dining room.
I don't know why I feel Fina's appearance is a little different than usual.
"Wait on! Did you shrink your uniform?" ask me when I found her uniform that looks so tight that it shows her body shape.
"Ehm .. ti-ti-no kok Bu. Looks like I'm gaining weight, so my uniform looks cramped."
"Ehm .. Bi," called me to bi Ami who had just appeared from the kitchen.
"Yes, Mom." Please, if Bibi goes to the market later, stop by the school supply store. Buy a new uniform for Fina.
"Good, Mom."
"No need, Mom. This uniform is still comfortable."
"Yes, but the uncomfortable mother saw it. The veil doesn't have to be tied up, because it will show you your chest if your shirt is so narrow."
I could catch the veil on the face of the girl who had lived with me for almost three years when she untied her veil.
"Will you go to school? Why are your lips so red? Remove her lipstick, "I rebuked again as I thrust a few pieces of tissue at her.
Once again I caught the annoyance on Fina's face.
"I leave first, Assalamu'alaikum."
"Waalaikumsalam, be careful."
"Mak Fina is a little strange, Mom," said bi Ami.
"Anen how, Bi?"
"If you come home from school in the afternoon, continue to dress up often, and ehm .. his hair is cut short and colored loh Bu. Yesterday I accidentally saw her passing through her room and the door of her room was slightly open.
What happened to Fina? What made you change this way? Worries immediately attacked me.
"Let's go, Mom," said Lyra after finishing her breakfast.
After saying goodbye to bi Ami, we went to school.
"Good morning, Miss Zura. You wanna take Lyra to school, huh?" greet one of my neighbors, Miss Sari.
"Yes, come, Mom."
"Shortly, Mom. I want to talk a little."
I stopped my steps too.
"What's up, Mom?"
"Ehm, look. Sorry, didn't mean anything. I want to ask if Fina has quit school already?"
"Stop school? No really, Mom. Thank God he's still in school."
"But, why …"
"But why, Mom?
