As night falls, Kadir invites Anika and her children to dinner. From this afternoon Kana and Kayla stuck together with Anika did not want to escape, especially Kana who did not want to escape from Anika's sling.
Kadir smiled when he saw that his youngest sister had changed a lot, but in the past when he was in school Anika was the least fond of small children. If in the past Nana often brought small children home, Anika immediately scolded her for not liking their whining and crying sounds, especially if the child was wetting her bed, especially if the child was wet, he was most disliked and disgusted.
But now, he was not upset, lazy or angry when Kana whined not to come down from her sling, he hugged and rubbed Kana's back with love so that it made Kana instantly speechless.
"Come, Ila eat! Let's replace it with Auntie Ika later, son? " said Kadir persuaded Kayla to eat with him.
Kayla nodded obediently, as she asked for Anika's bribe, but since Kana did not want to escape, Kadir tried to persuade her to give in. Kayla eats with her Papa bribe.
Kana fell asleep after being given milk and in the kelonin Anika. He then put Kana very carefully afraid she would wake up again on the bed. After being sure Kana was asleep, Anika went out of the room to Kayla and her brother who was still eating by sitting in the middle room.
"Have you slept, Kana? Tumben fast really, usually Brother-slinging long ago he slept. "said Kadir with surprise.
"Ga know too Ika, Bang! This is the first time Ika slept with a baby the age of Kana. "Anika replied while shrugging her shoulders.
"Tante, help Ila make PR? " pinta Kayla is full of hope.
"okay! But Aunt eat first huh? Kayla just wait in front while sitting around! " anika answered Kayla's request.
Kayla nodded and smiled happily, she immediately stood up and went to the front room because she had finished dinner.
Anika also immediately ate because her stomach had been rumbling from earlier, she ate greedily even though two days earlier she had the least taste for rice. He even added another which made Kadir shake his head with a smile.
"Ka, later after the children sleep, we talk in the front room, huh? " pinta Kadir slowly.
Anika who was still chewing food was only nodding her head even though she was already scratched in her heart suspecting Kadir's reaction later on what he experienced to end up stranded on the streets.
Kadir was sitting outside the house, on a long cot where Kana and Kayla were playing outside looking up at the sky where there were no stars tonight, only the shining moon was a crescent moon. He looked at his former life with the current one is very different once it seemed so significant difference.
He used to think too much about what his mother's comments if his life was difficult, he was so concerned with people's speech. To the extent that he complied with his wife's request to leave his children with his wife's parents, so that he freely sought money and their lives were not too much dependents.
However, no matter how much money he makes is always not enough and even always less, even though they only live alone. As for children, he only gives one million every two months when they visit there.
But now, the money he earns is not as much as before but the needs he and his children are very fulfilled even sometimes he often gets unexpected money from his motorcycle customers.
"Bang, what's the daydream again? " reprove Anika and immediately sit next to her brother.
"Kok you here? Where's kayla? Did you make the PR? " Kadir turned back.
Kadir chuckled as he ruffled his sister's hair with a jaunt.
"Kayla has made PR, I told her to brush her teeth before going to bed. I immediately told him to sleep because tomorrow he would want to go to school, "Anika replied while looking at her brother fixedly.
"Why did you see my brother? " ask Kadir in wonder.
"Soalnya from this afternoon until now Ika did not see Ma'am Yuli in this house. Where's Madam Yuli, Bang? " ask Anika curiously.
Kadir sighed harshly as his eyes stared at the night ceiling. He also told me what happened in his life when Yuli was dragged by people to the hospital until he brought the children to the city with him until now.
"That's what happened to my brother's life, Ika! Now the priority is just children, others are no longer important" said Kadir at the end of the story.
"It turns out the fate of Brother is not much sadder than my current fate! It seems like I will also follow in Brother's footsteps to live alone without a partner. "Anika said while crying sobbing.
"What do you mean say that, Ika? " ask Kadir in wonder.
Anika also told about the state of her household which is now on the edge of the horn. He also told me about the expulsion that his parents-in-law did until he was hanging in the street.
Kadir rubbed his face rough while closing his eyes for a moment. He grabbed her sister's body into her arms which made Anika even more crying.
"Well, is this karma for us? During this time we have been evil with Kak Tata, we support Kak Dika related to other women without thinking about Kak Tata's feelings. Although they are far apart, Sister Tata does not deserve such treatment from us, especially from her husband, Bang Dika! " said Anika with tears.
"Come, Ka! Sometimes you think like that too! We totally wrongly agree with what Mama said just because of money. Brother was even very sorry too when Mama kicked Nana and Dad out of the house that night! Brother is really not a dick to be a child and an older brother. " replied Kadir with teary eyes.
"Yes, you're right. I was very bad as a brother and as a child. Hu... Hu... Hu... Ika miss father and sister Nana, Bang? Ika want to apologize.. Ika nyesal has been evil all this time with Kak Tata and Kak Nana. Ika wanted to apologize ", said Anika while banging her chest.
"Istighfar Ika, istighfar."." Kadir reprimands slowly by guiding Anika to Istighfar.
"You're the only one who's sorry, Ika! My brother is also very sorry. Abang should have reminded and advised Dika not to play with fire, but Abang even just silent because Mama said that if Dika was just playing games. Brother does not think if someday it could have been Brother or brothers Brother treated like that with his partner. Brother is really stupid and naive" said Kadir with a sad face.
