Not Just a Taste

Smilingly

...~Happy Reading~...

Once everything is ready, now Mr. Brata also rushed to leave immediately and went home. Initially, Eleena refuses and still feels very heavy if she has to part with her father.

However, after he listened to the words of umma Chila, Eleena finally tried.

He agreed with umma Chila, that he would stay there for a month. At least, he can make his father's heart relieved, although in the end he did not feel at home there.

However, he could already feel the life in the cottage, according to the request of the father.

After all, if he is at home also will be alone, because his father is too busy working.

So, after Eleena thought long, there was no harm in trying, even though it was actually very heavy.

"Umma, where's Maira? Ele didn't see her?" asked Eleena who had not seen her childhood friend since.

"Maira is in Yogyakarta" replied Umma Chila while helping Eleena to tidy up her room.

Chila already considers Eleena like her own child. Given that they were neighbors and when they were children, Eleena often played with her second child, Maira.

"Chaliph?" ask Eleena again.

"In a moment, he'll be home. So later you can be like him, huh?"

Khalifah is the name of the third child of Uma Chila and Abi Mike who is currently in third grade Junior High.

"Now, everything is ready. You rest first yes, later when the Caliph comes, he will take you around to see the atmosphere in this cottage," said umma Chila smiled.

"Umma, can Ele ask you something?" asked the girl while raising her head, looking at the heartfelt and radiant face of the middle-aged woman in front of her.

She has three children, and she is no longer young. However, umma Chila still looks so beautiful despite wearing a veil.

"What's up, Ele?" umma Chila again sat down beside Eleena.

"Why, Umma always smiling? Is Umma not tired?" asked Eleena innocently.

Not without reason, since he was a child, he was always curious, why the woman so often smiled so gently.

In fact, when in the past how Maira and Arga quarreled was quite great, to make Maira's forehead hurt.

Umma Chila just smiled as she calmed Maira's cry so patiently and gently.

In fact, the woman also does not blame Arga who in fact had hurt her daughter.

And now, Eleena was reunited with the woman, with the same facial expression, which was shady and warm.

"Ele, do you know, Smile is Worship. Smile is the easiest thing to do. In addition, a smile can also foster a good relationship between fellow humans."

"Do you know also, that one of the spreading figures of goodness and smiles is the Prophet SAW. Therefore, from now on, smile." added umma Chila at length.

Eleena was silent again. He was still staring fixedly at the face of the woman in front of him. A smile is a worship.

Let alone worship with a smile, for prayer only he never. So, does he deserve to be in the cottage?

For some reason, now, Eleena felt smaller. He is one example of a man who rarely smiles sincerely like umma Chila.

He often laughs, even his laughter is so loose when with his friends. However, all the laughter was as if it was fake, as it did not completely originate from within his heart.

'How do I smile?' eleena muttered inwardly as she let out a long sigh.
