"I also don't know what his name is. But when I see you grieving, my heart also grieves. I want to be by your side and protect you. And so, I want to be close to you." He answered, but I was still confused.
"What do you mean? Do you have feelings for me? Answer with your honesty. Because I don't want any misunderstandings between us." Reply firmly. But I didn't dare look him in the face, because I knew we weren't the mukhrin.
"Misunderstand what you mean Aisha? Can't I have that feeling for you? Am I wrong?" Reveal it with questions that are difficult to explain, but I have to straighten it out immediately.
"Yes, misunderstanding between me, you and my brother." My answer is a little bit loose.
"What do you mean, Aisha? I really don't understand what you're saying."
"Ok well, I'll explain. First, I do have a comfortable feeling beside you and I also feel very protected near you. However, I myself do not know what that feeling is either.
Second, my sister Maryam has feelings of love and affection towards you. I don't want to hurt her heart. So from that, I want to straighten out our feelings and relationships. I want us to forget this feeling.
Third, I already have a boyfriend of my choice. I am currently waiting for his presence. Because, we are improving ourselves to be better by migrating. And after that, God willing, we'll have a wedding." Obviously at length. I don't know, Fadli is able to accommodate and understand what I have explained or not.
"I understand what you mean Aisha. But, what I feel for you is not as a lover. I was also confused as to how I would express it. Forgive me Aisha." It was her who made my brain ask what Fadli meant.
"Then, if you don't like me why do you want to meet my papa?" The question I shouldn't have asked, now I've finally thrown it to Fadli.
"No, I just want to get to know your dad. Because, the feeling I have is the same as what my mother feels. And so it's with you, isn't it?" Fadli's words and questions really made my brain spin violently thinking about what was happening now.
"Is it possible that this feeling we feel is a family bond?" The question popped into my mind and I spontaneously revealed it to him.
"family? Where could Aisyah be! Where's the family too?" Answer with a thin smile.
I was really confused as to what to do and how. I would like to immediately settle this matter with Fadli, before Sister Maryam finds out about me and Fadli how. Because I don't want to hurt Maryam's sister.
"There's Fadli. Tell you what, you ask Miss Laila. Does he know Brian?" Reveal me firmly and I ventured to approach her and look into her eyes. Because I'm sure we're sisters, so it's okay if I'm close to her. But, I'm sorry if my thoughts on this are all wrong.
"Who is Brian, and what is my mother related to him?" Ask Fadli who doesn't understand.
Obviously, if Fadli doesn't understand, he doesn't know the story. When I came to his house and told him about my problem, I did not explain and tell him in all detail.
"Sir Brian is my adoptive father's name. And my papa's relationship with Laila's mom was about her daughter Brian's, me." I'm trying to explain to Fadli. Because, I want to know the truth about my real family.
"And that means, if my mother knows your father..you are my younger brother?" He said he returned my gaze with a sweet smile.
As well as me, I returned her smile and answered her question with a soft nod. And the expression of each of us, will give the answer to this difficult puzzle. And I hope it's true that they're my family.
"Well, I'll ask my mother soon. And uncover everything. And I must be happy to have a little sister like you."
"Yes, we've had this meeting. And I have other business too. Because I want to work on a certificate to graduate this year." I said with a sense of spirit that appeared within me.
"All right, good luck! And if it's true that I'm your brother, I'll punish you if you can't graduate this year." He said with a little bluffing, but still spread his smile.
In the end, we were separated by distance. Before I left far away the meeting place between me and Fadli earlier, we looked at each other face to face and returned a smile to each other. And don't forget we said goodbye with greetings.

"Assalamu'alaikum ma'am!" Say hello from outside.
"Yes mom. Oh yeah, Fadli wanted to ask mom seriously." Reply Fadli with seriousness.
"What do you want to ask? It seems serious." Fadli's father was Mr. Muchtar from behind.
"Yes dad, this is serious. Because Fadli wants to ask you about who Mr. Brian is and what's the connection between you?" Asked Fadli who looked at his parents in turn.
π¦π¦π¦π¦
"Hopefully it is true that Miss Laila is my real mother and they are all my family." My heart with happy hope.
"Assalamu'alaiku Aida, where are you now?" I asked Aida over the phone.
"Wa'alaikumsalam Aisha! Oh yes, this is me at Aisyah's house. You just come straight to the house." Reply Aida who told me to come straight to her house to do the secret.

"But I haven't come home yet!" Say Maryam with worry.
"Assalamu'alaikum sister of Maryam!" My new one came.
"Wa'alaikumsalam Aisha!" Answer Maryam with a smile.
"Sir Maryam's out there anyway?" I asked by looking around.
"Yes, because that brother was waiting for you. You're the night you get home, so you're worried about you." Answer sister Maryam.
"Yes ma'af, sister, Ayesha is busy so no time to ngabarin brother." Reply with a little smile.
"Yes, you better go in and take a shower. Brother wait in the dining room." Said sister Maryam.
I also obeyed what Maryam's sister ordered. And hurry to my beloved room. Oh yes, as always _it didn't take long for me to clear up.
"Wahhhhh.had to!" My words smell the cooking.
I slowly stepped my feet to the dining room while smelling the aroma of cooking that smelled so very stinging in my nose, making me who could not resist the hunger that had been holding me back.
"Wahh... It looks delicious!" I said the one who opened the conversation.
"I don't know, you must be hungry!" Said Maryam mocked me.
"Yes, because my energy was drained when working on the secret. Hence, now I want to eat all these foods with his lava." I said excitedly.
Yes, excited to eat. Haha... You guys don't think that I'm a greedy girl huh! It's a fact, too, that I feel like I'm hungry.
We also ate food with lahab. Yes we are, pure bik, sister Maryam and I. We eat simultaneously, because we do not want to discriminate status. Where we are, it's all the same. There is no difference between employer or maid.
Seriate...
