Since then, Raditya still tried to convince Aminah through many people, even until Syakir and Balqis did not escape Raditya gave an explanation. Just the same, Aminah was still upset with him, because at that time Raditya did not pursue Aminah when Aminah ran away from them.
That afternoon at the cafe, Raditya invites Mayshita to meet there. Of course talking about the Aminah chapter that is difficult to find lately. Mayshita suggests giving Aminah time alone first. He also has to focus on his school.
"So, patience. Give him time to think. I know, really, he's a little plan with his heart. But, rest assured, if his heart is only for you," Mayshita explained as she sipped her coffee latte.
"You are more mature than Aminah. You and Aminah, who was born first?" ask Raditya.
"Mature is not measured by our age, Mas Radit. So in that year, I, Joseph and Aminah, were born. Hamdan and Falih were born the year before. But because we are only a few months apart, it is the age" explained Mayshita.
"So, which one of you is older?" tanya Raditya was still curious.
"Falih, but he doesn't want to be poured. So, the position was taken by Hamdan. Hamdan was born after Joseph and Aminah" Mayshita said.
"What's that?" ask Raditya.
"Hamdan is ridiculous, indeed his mother was pregnant first from Ami Aisyah and Umi Ika. But the discovery was long after Ami and Umi were declared pregnant. The birth of Joseph and Aminah was also a trifle, so they were born first. Hamdan said, still he who has felt comfortable sitting in the womb first, that's it." explained Mayshita.
Hearing the story of Mayshita makes Raditya laugh. How noisy if you imagine Hamdan insistent on being called brother. He was born the last of the five teenagers. Hamdan remained insistent because he had occupied and played in the womb before Joseph, Aminah and Mayshita. Their birth was also first.
"Haha, I can't imagine how silly he is to insist on that" Raditya laughed.
"Not again, he was the biggest. Moreover, fitting in tangent herself lost for seven years first. It must be incessant, because he lives in a shabby village and plays with apes," Mayshita continues to unravel the ridiculousness of his brothers.
"missing? I heard that from Raihan. That his sister in Korea has been found since she went missing seven years. What if Aminah and Joseph? They said they were close, huh?" raditya was still curious.
"If you say who Joseph is, I am. Because from childhood we have many rivals in teaching and learning. But, if it is close inwardly, yes Aminah. Because they were milk, and Aminah was weakest in religious studies, so she went with Joseph" explained Mayshita.
Talking with Mayshita, Raditya made him know all the attitudes and traits of Aminah that he did not know. So, he could understand that Aminah was still upset with him because she was jealous of Nadia. Even though among them (Raditya and Nadia) there is no relationship except just alumni from the same boarding school.

Day after day passed, the school exams were getting closer. Falih and Roses have also returned to Japan after family gatherings, getting acquainted with Yusuf's new friends and traveling together. Roses are satisfied holidays in Jogja.
All that, written in his diary the Rose. Girls aspiring to plunge into the entertainment world is very fond of making up stories and making works such as, novels, comics and also caricatures. In Japan there, teenagers like Roses are very supported by their country.
"Two more days of exams, do not forget fasting and efforts to pass with good grades," said Airy preparing dinner at the house of Joseph.
"Yes, brother." replied Joseph and Hamdan together.
"I'll be back in Korea soon, too. Brother Airy often masakin me yes, later I miss the same cuisine Kak Airy there," sweet greeting Hamdan makes Airy sad.
"Uhh, so sad. Why not just go to college here, anyway? There are many good universities as well. Could go to college with Yusuf later," Airy proposed, he did not know if Yusuf would also go to Korea.
Airy glanced at Yusuf, his countenance flat. From the beginning, Airy did not agree that Yusuf went anywhere, including to Korea.
"No, he's not going anywhere!" exclaim Airy cleared his challenge and prepared to go home.
"Sister... why?" joseph's question stopped Airy's footsteps.
"So I said no, yes no. Stop talking about this. Assallamu'alaikum." Airy left Hamdan and Joseph.
Start the engine and go home immediately. Disappointed, upset and astonished became one in Joseph's mind. He got up from the dining table and entered his room without touching the food that Airy prepared.
"Cups! Eat first!" shouted Hamdan. But not heard by Joseph.
Likewise with Airy, when arriving at home directly into the kitchen and wash challenge with extra energy. Women's anger is like that, whether angry, disappointed or tired, must wash the dishes like slamming the dishes. Adam who had noticed earlier could not bear to see his wife like that. He approached and asked what really knew was going on.
"Assalamu'alaikum, my bidadiku..," seduced Adam.
"Where are you from? From rice fields?" answer Airy.
"Why, anyway? Come home and get angry like this? What was? Story dong with, Mas," Adam stroked Airy's head and kissed her.
"Yusuf, he wants to leave me. I don't
want him to leave me, Mas," replied Airy with a trembling voice and suddenly cried. Adam hugged her, asked her to wash her hands and sat down to discuss what Airy wanted to talk about Joseph.
There is nothing wrong with Joseph going abroad. But, Airy felt that if he was hard to let Joseph stay alone there, since childhood Joseph was always with him. Even after his parents, no Airy was ever with Joseph.
"And now he's pretending to be strong-witted, mature-ass. Stylish to go to college abroad, I don't want him alone there, Mas. Who will take care of her, who will cook for her, who will wash and iron her clothes, who will tidy up her wardrobe. He was alone there, and I didn't want him to be alone, Mas.." As it turns out, Airy still thinks of Joseph as his tail that will forever be behind him.
Adam looked into Airy's eyes and face deeply. With a warm smile and a soft touch on his cheek, Adam explained that his sister had really started to mature. Adam hopes Airy can provide an opportunity for him to live independently.
"What independent living? Yes if the boarding is still around Jogja. It's abroad, Mas. Can not! I can't leave him alone!" Airy is still tight.
"Dear, hey. Listen, Mom, first. Yusuf lives next to Mr. Lek Kabir's apartment, doesn't he? There's Aunt Ceasy, Om Jamil and Aunt Yoona there too, they're also our families. Those who will take your place while there, dear," said Yusuf.
"Trust me, Joseph will be fine. He's a sholeh, virtuous boy, understands religion. She'll be successful if you'll give her blessing, won't you be her mother, hem?" continued Yusuf.
"I'm His mother? Yes, I'm his mother. Because I'm his mother, that's why I forbid him. I remember once when Ami wasn't around, she hugged me, she fed me, took me to the obstetrician. When Papa caught up with Ami too, he always held my hand, smiling to strengthen me, but I also knew that he was harboring sadness. He felt like he was going to be alone, Mom."
Airy could not continue that harsh reality. Losing a parent is indeed very striking in the heart and mind for a child. Moreover, great parents like Aisyah and Rifky. It seems, they also still do not believe if the ideal partner has gone for good. Will Airy allow Joseph to go to Korea?
