"Sorry mom and dad, why do you want to adopt my grandchildren? why don't you just come to the orphanage, there are so many children that you can adopt" said grandmother Idah, suggested.

Bahri just kept silent while staring blankly, remembering the messages from his father, who always ringing in his ears.

"Mother and father Andi, I really appreciate your intentions, but I'm sorry, I can't leave my grandmother and my sisters" Bahri said, staring at the couple in turn, they were surprised to hear the answer from Bahri, who rejected them, the grandmother of Idah was also surprised.

"But why son? why are you rejecting us?son Bahri we promise, you will often visit them if you miss them, and we will also help them for the cost of living" said Mr. Ibrahim, trying to persuade Bahri.

"Surely this child, holding firm his stance and promise to his parents "in the father of Ibrahim, he also increasingly admired the figure of Bahri, Bahri, when other children who are only selfish, Bahri actually prioritizes his younger siblings, he is not tempted by living well and having a treasure.

"Well, son Bahri, we understand and cannot force you, to come with us, hopefully, you will become a successful person, because of such determination and such a good heart, he said,you are also very trustworthy" said Mr. Ibrahim, smiling and rubbing Bahri's head.

"Aamiin"they said together, actually Andi's mother's heart still does not accept, she was so eager to have a child like Bahri, but because her husband did not want to force, then she must be willing to join in mengikhlaskan that decision.

Finally, they came home from Bahri's house, even though they came home with a disappointed heart, but they had to accept it, and they gave an envelope to Bahri, too, as an expression of their affection for Bahri, Bahri initially wanted to refuse, but because he did not want to hurt and offend them again, Bahri finally wanted to accept it and thank them, but because he did not want to hurt and offend them again, after they left, Bahri immediately handed the envelope to his grandmother, and his ascetic surprised Grandma Idah when she opened the envelope, because the contents were enough for them to eat for 1 year, they all feel very happy and grateful.

"God, thank you, you gave me a granddaughter, who was so great for me" her grandmother Idah felt grateful, wiping her tears.

"Ka Bahri, I won't leave us, will I?"yanur asked, while looking at his kaka, Bahri smiled as he nodded his head.

"So promise, we will not be separated right, we will always be together, until we grow up" said Bahri, with a smile, the four of them immediately embraced and laughed together,grandma Idah was also moved to see them.

"O Allah, their affection is so strong that they will not be separated from each other" said the grandmother of Idah, wiping away her tears that continued to shed.
