Prayer of the Former
16
Time passed, the schedule of les Sifa increased as punishment from the Papa. Sifa would not want to obey for the peace of heart Papa who does not understand if what he needs is the figure of Papa rather than the tutoring schedule that continues to be added.
In one tutoring room, a middle-aged teacher gave Sifa a small assignment about writing a story.
"Okay, because soon will be a long holiday, so miss want Sifa, Nabila, Delon and Azzam write a plan what you will do during the holidays with your family"
The three children seemed enthusiastic to hear the teacher's instructions.
"That task is in the collection tomorrow, yes, so you can ask your Father Mother plan for her vacation.. make a memorable story during the holidays and the best story will be Miss give a gift" said the Miss with enthusiasm.
But the look on Sifa's face looks flat. There was no enthusiasm that he could show, because the memories of the holidays he had just at home.
"Where are you going on vacation to Sifa??" whisik Nabila's.
Sifa looked at Nabila.
"Hmm, maybe go to my mom's house" Sifa told a lie.
"Ooh, your mom's house is far away??"
Sifa did not reply, she just nodded slowly with a faint smile.
"You must be happy, can vacation with your mom, if I must be on vacation at grandma's house, because Mama Papa is busy" answered Nabila not excited.
Seeing her friend sad, Sifa also embraced the shoulder of the friend.
"What do you want me to bring you??"ask Sifa to Nabila.
Nabila immediately looks enthusiastic staring at Sifa.
"Gift??"
"Yes"
"What aja, the same, same you Sifa" said Nabila who immediately became excited again.
Sifa nodded softly with a smile at Nabila who was cheerful again.
Miss again attracted the attention of children by giving new subjects.

After the completion of tutoring, now again the camry sedan car is parked in front of the store gallery Sari. Sifa always took the time to look at Sari.
The little girl looked at Sari's face deeply as she was wearing an accessory on the head of the client who was going to the party.
The client was seen occasionally glancing at the face of the little girl who looked familiar in her eyes.
Sari occasionally saw the look in the eyes of the client who was fixed on Sifa.
"Hmm, why mbak?? is there anything uncomfortable?" sari asked when the last pentul had finished she plugs on the side of the client's hijab.
"Ah, no. ta-pi.. whose child is this?? I've seen" the client asked Sari.
Sari was slightly caught by surprise.
"Ah, this is. a-son my friend mbak" replied Sari hesitantly.
"Ooh, I see" said the client who still looks dissatisfied.
Sifa was seen approaching Sari with mineral water in her hands.
"Pity me" said Sari by accepting Sifa's gift and caressing the little girl's head spoiled.
But because it was still not lost curiosity, the Client finally he again looked at Sifa's face with a fixed.
"Little sister, what's her name??"
Sifa flinched and turned to the young lady's client.
"Sifa" he replied innocently.
"You.. Have you ever been to the Regent's office?"
Jamb.. Sari was shocked to hear that question.
And Sifa nodded innocently.
"You. You're Sifa Munandar, right??"
Glek. saliva Sari swallowed rough.
"Yya, Papa Aldi Munandar is Papa Sifa" replied Sifa plainly.
The woman's face turned shocked.
"Right right, this is the daughter of the Vice Regent apparently" he exclaimed in relief.
"Waah, Sifa is already big, aunty until she does not know you" murmured the Client by touching Sifa's arm.
Sifa just ate flat. He did not recognize this young woman.
Sari could only smile biasedly.
"So, Mbak Sari vice sir's friend??"
"Ah. no. no" elak Sari fast.
But Sari's speech became increasingly curious clients.
"So?? close friend? or??"ask the client.
Sari was getting wrong to hear the question of this young woman's client. Because if he answers wrong, it could be bad news for the deputy who in fact he does not really know.
"I only know Sifa, I just happen to know Sifa.. Doesn't Sifa?" sari asked Sifa as if looking for support.
"Yes mama Sari" replied Sifa plainly.
Jleb. Sifa's answer made the misunderstanding of the young woman's client startled when she heard the call "Mama Sari" come out of the little girl's mouth.
"Ah, sorry mbak.this is just a funny call.because we play house-housing and call mama papa like that.not as you think really, really I only know Sifa.. but I do not know the deputy Regent in addition to the poster" sidelines Sari who is increasingly hot cold in front of this client.
"O-ooh, I see. duh pinter child you have been more beautiful aja.pak Vice sure proud of you" replied the clumsy female client.
After that misunderstanding. The woman's client also paid for the services that Sari had provided and passed away from the Sari gallery store.
After the woman's client left, Sari pulled Sifa's arm to sit on the sofa of the room. He looked at the plain eyes that looked sincerely staring at Sari's face.
"Yes, Mama Sari?"
"Sifa.. can you not call aunty with the call "Mama Sari" again??"
The two clear eyeballs were staring at Sari with confused faces.
"Why??" ask Sifa plain.
"Ka-rena. aunty is not your mother dear. ja-in we hope ya play mama-mamaannya" said Sari slowly.
But a disappointed face was seen on the little girl's face. So Sari felt guilty.
"Sifa.sorry.but you still have mama, kasian dong mama you must be sad if she hears you calling mama in auntie" explained Sari carefully.
"Aunty still loves you anyway, even if it's not your mama"
But in fact the speech had hurt the feeling of the little girl so deeply. Not a word came out of the little girl's mouth, she took her tutoring bag and left the gallery boutique disappointed.
"Sifa???" exclaiming Sari called the little girl by chasing Sifa's steps who quickly climbed into the camry car.
Sifa's reaction had made Sari feel guilty.

On the other hand, Aldi who had just returned to his office after completing the community demo.
Seemed to sigh with a heavy breath. How not, the demands of the resignation of the Regent who is often sick have disturbed the community. Because with the absence of him for 2 years then many programs are delayed, even though it is possible Aldi completed as a deputy Regent.
The existence of the demo was none other than the incitement of the higher-ups of the council members who increasingly urged the figure of the Regent to immediately go down and be replaced by the deputy Regent Aldi.
This really makes Aldi riled, the coalition of parties that were initially harmonious now broke with this issue. Mutual trust in the interests of the party was sticking if the party Aldi deliberately wanted to oust the Regent.
Chief Aldi is really full of office and country problems that he carries.
But his steps suddenly came to a halt when he saw his son Sifa's guard standing in front of the door of his room.
"Budi sir??"
The man in the safari uniform looked swiftly welcoming the boss.
"Sir"
Aldi saw there is an important thing that will be conveyed by the princess with a serious facial expression.
"Within" he exclaimed, walking to open the door of the room.
The bodyguard followed shortly after the boss entered.
Aldi walked to the sofa and fell down with a tired body.
Mr. Budi walked and faced Mr. Vice Regent.
"Sir??"
"Hm, any?? did something happen again with Sifa??"
"No, sir.malah non Sifa has been very obedient and obedient for several weeks" he said firmly.
Aldi was quite surprised if it turned out his guess was wrong.
"Then??"
Mr. Budi seemed a little hesitant to make his point.
"Non Sifa, next week is on holiday sir"
Aldi shocked.
"Holiday??"
"Semester holidays" said Mr. Budi clarify.
Aldi was a little surprised, he did not even memorize the schedule of the child.
"3 weeks non Sifa will be off, sir" said Mr. Budi.
"3 weeks??"
"Yes"
Aldi seemed to think for a moment.
"And me, leave sir"
"What??" aldi's response was shocked.
Mr. Budi looks doubtful.
"I want to see my wife and son in the village, sir"
Aldi was seen weighing the request of Mr. Budi. But in the end Aldi could only sigh slowly.
"Yes, alright, I allow it"
Pak Budi was immediately relieved to get an answer from the superior.
"Thank you sir"
Aldi disturbs at a glance
"Anything again??"
"Hm, no sir, thank you"
"Yes, already Budi sir can return" said Aldi by giving orders.
Mr. Budi immediately nodded his head, then slowly left the vice regent who was still sitting on the sofa with his tired face.
However, when Mr. Budi was about to open the door of the room, he felt that there was something odd that he had to tell the superior about the superior's daughter, Sifa. And when he was about to convey the matter, soon the voice of the ringing tone of the mobile phone rang belonging to the deputy Regent.
He also raised the phone immediately, and shortly the voice of anger of the Regent who was quickly heard by Mr. Budi.
Seeing things that for the sake of getting more, Mr. Budi also undo his intentions and ended up leaving the room of deputy Regent Aldi.
