Lailatulqadar (Song of Missing For Fathers)
Chapter 26

Laila schematized a brown envelope that was thought to be money with a large amount.

Laila does need money to replace Mira's money, but this is not what she wants from Sharif. Maybe Sharif thinks with money then all the problems will be solved.

With the money he was able to pay for his mistake of abandoning the child for many years. Nah!

The time, memories, affection that Laila hadn't found in years from her father could not be paid for with money. Although a father is in charge of giving a living, but this is not the way.

Laila and Qadar need someone who will protect them, educate, care and love.

Laila didn't think it was that hard on her father's heart. I don't know what makes his father can do that cruel to his own son. Is it because of his family? Restu is also Aunt Ambar.

The sense of unfairness that Laila felt at this moment. The father who had been he and Qadar longed for was apparently not as good as imagined.

Laila tried not to hate Sharif because after all he was her real father. But the wound that is incised seems to be imprinted until Laila grows up later.

Laila sat on the wall near the school gate. He stared at the envelope with the money his father had given him. Laila thought this money would be handed over to Handoko for her daily needs and Qadar school fees.

The hour came home, Qadar walked out of class. But suddenly his steps stopped when he saw Dita was with his friends behind the class where the place was rarely passed by students. Qadar turned in that direction.

"Why aren't we eating the same as drinking? Isn't this the month of fasting?" qadar's innocent voice was heard by Dita and her friend.

"Who is Dit?" ask one of Dita's friends.

"My cousin from the village!" dita's answer is now approaching Qadar.

"Never complain to my mom and dad if I don't fast!" said Dita a little threatening.

Qadar shook his head, he was afraid of Dita who was a judge and fierce.

"Good! There's a spit go! Beware if you dare say, I'm getting out of the house!" said Dita while encouraging Qadar to leave the place immediately.

Arriving at the gate Qadar immediately approached Laila his brother who was waiting for him in front of the gate.

"Sir Laila, Qadar saw Kak Dita breaking her fast with her friend in the corner of the school." Qadar finally said that to Laila.

It was hard for him to cover anything up for Laila.

"But Brother Dita told me not to talk to Uncle and Aunt about it. You also don't tell them!" Qadar.

"Sister won't tell me, anyway it's not about us" said Laila.

Seconds later they arrived home.

"Bang Qadar is back! " cried Aldo with pleasure.

"Are you waiting?" tanya Qadar approached Aldo who was on the porch of the house.

"Yes bang, I'm waiting for you because playing alone is not exciting!" aldo said, pursing his mouth.

"Yes wait a moment, Brother change clothes first abis we play." Qadar stores shoes onto a plastic shelf that sits on the terrace.

Qadar went in to change clothes first after that he was going to play with his cousin Aldo.

"Auntie selling takjil again?" Ask Laila politely.

Mira just kept quiet and did not look at him or talk to him. It made Laila even more unwell.

Mira does her job with a rough, typical angry person who vents his anger on the things he wears. Until there was a noise from the kitchen furniture that he used. Occasionally, Laila blinked her eyes and jumped in shock when she heard the sound.

Soon Laila went into the room there was Qadar just finished changing clothes and was about to play with Aldo.

When Qadar came out, Laila immediately closed the door. He issued some money that Sharif gave earlier. Counting it to give Mira some and some he will leave it to Handoko.

Laila was actually hesitant to give the money to Mira but somehow she had to replace the money that was copied yesterday. Although later Mira will definitely question where Laila has the money from.

Laila came back out of the room with some money in hand.

Laila approaches Mira who is still busy with her work making takjil.

"This is me changing the money I lost back then." Laila keeps the money on the dining table.

Mira who was in front of him turned a glance at the money Laila had saved.

"Where else did you steal it from?" mira's great-grandson lightly accuses Laila of being non-nonsense.

Laila thought Mira would say that.

"This money is Halal Bi, not stolen," Laila said.

"Masa? Why didn't you change the money from yesterday if you had one?"

"Oo, I know I must have just been in school, right? Why am I so sorry who you are, huh?" continued.

"Not bi, I'm not scared. I got this money from the sale of my mother's jewelry." Laila had to lie.

"Oh the Marni has a jewelry stash too? Your legacy dong? It must be just that much of her legacy, right? No way Marni has a lot of jewelry. Where's the money from?" Mira is still demeaning.

"Auntie wants to take this money or not? If not, let me take the money! I have good intentions to change but if aunt doesn't want to!" Laila was about to go back to taking the money she had saved on the table.

Mira had already snatched the money.

"Don't! how to get it again? If you want to replace the sincere," grumbled Mira while putting the money in his pocket covered by an apron.

Laila sighed harshly, facing Mira in a time when her heart was in turmoil really only added to her emotions.

"Want me help make the naughtiness?" ask Laila.

"Yes help dong, this is me bothered by myself from earlier!" Mira thrust a few containers in front of Laila.

'I also wanted to help you this time, Bi! Her aunt was sulking, ' inwardly Laila.
