This afternoon, Laila was out of school. He walked to the parking lot to pick up his bike.
"Laila wait...!" a girl approached Laila.
Laila turned her head towards Riri, her classmate. Laila smiled as she looked at Riri.
"Riri, what's wrong?" ask Laila.
"Can't I come with you back to your house?"
Laila furrowed her brows.
"Come home?"
"Yes La. The plan is me and my friends want to see your mother. When your mother was in an accident, we had no time to look at your mother" Riri explained.
"Oh."
Moments later, four of Laila's female friends approach Laila and Riri.
"Laila, we're going to play at your house. Can't you?" ask one of them.
Laila smiled.
"Can. But..."
"But why La?" ask Evi the other friend.
"My mother was in control of the hospital. I don't know when he's coming home. Yesterday was a long time home."
"It's okay. We'll wait. Not my friends."
"Yes dong" said friends Laila kompakan.
"Yes, if you want to play. Come on..."
Laila and her five friends then ride their bikes to Laila's house.
After arriving in front of Amira's house, Laila and her friends park their bikes.
"My mom's going to the hospital, guys. It seems my mother and father have not come home. But maybe they'll be home soon" Laila told friends.
"Yes, it's okay. Let's wait. It's just friends."
"Yes." Yeah."
Laila got off her bike. After that, he told his friends to go into his house.

Amira and Farhan were still on their way home.
Farhan had been staring at Amira. Since coming home from the hospital, Amira has been quieter.
Farhan saw something change in Amira. Farhan until now did not know, why Amira became more silent than talk.
"Amira, why are you quiet from now on? is there something else you're thinking?" ask Farhan.
"I don't think about anything anymore. I just don't like it if you bring Zia to my house" said Amira.
"Oh, so you're thinking about last night. I'm sorry Amira, I didn't know that you would mind accepting Zia's presence in your house."
Amira stared at Farhan sharply.
"Mas, I've got you married again, but please dong, you appreciate me. You sensitize a little dong with my feelings. I don't like you taking Zia to my house."
Farhan smiled. He then grabbed Amira's hand and grasped it tightly.
"alright. I promise, I won't take Zia to your house again. Sorry, I'm so, baby."
"Sovernight I called Mas. He's asking you."
"Nanyain me? keep saying what?"
"I said you weren't home. Because last night you went to Zia's house."
"Mommy needs to call me."
"He doesn't need anything. He just wanted to ask me my condition, all to talk to you. But you don't exist, so mom doesn't talk to you."
Moments later, Farhan and Amira's car arrives in front of her house.
Farhan got out of his car. And the driver in front too. He's coming down too.
The driver helped Farhan lower Amira's wheelchair. Without taking a long time, Farhan held Amira and placed Amira in a wheelchair.
"Sir Ridwan, thank you for the ride" said Farhan.
Farhan took out an envelope containing money for his neighbor Mr. Ridwan who had taken them to the hospital.
"Duh Mr. Ridwan, I'm not good. Please accept Mr. Ridwan. This is for his son's snacks" Farhan said, handing back the envelope.
"No need. Take Mr. Ustadz for Mbak Amira or for Laila."
"Sir Ridwan, take it sir. It's okay" said Amira. He feels bad for Mr. Ridwan.
"No need for Amira. Make Amira aja. I am sincere in helping you. Neighbors, I don't want to count. You guys haven't been counting on me."
Amira smiles.
"Yes, then Mr. Ridwan. Thank you very much for your kindness" said Amira.
"Yes to Amira. Then excuse me to go home, Mr. Ustadz."
Mr. Ridwan then got into his car. After that, he drove his car away
leaving Farhan's house.
After Mr. Ridwan left, Farhan then pushed Amira's wheelchair.
Before entering the house, Farhan stared at some bicycles parked in front of his house.
"Whose bike is Mas" said Amira.
"It's like Laila's bike. Don't-don't, Laila take her friends to Mi's house."
"don't know. Let's look inside."
"Come on."
Farhan then pushed Amira's wheelchair into the house.
"Assalamualaikum" said Laila and Farhan simultaneously .
"Wa'alakiumsalam" said Laila and her five best friends.
Amira smiled as she looked at the five children.
"You're Laila's friend?" ask Amira.
"Yes, Mom."
Farhan smiled.
"Abi just go inside first huh Mi. Umi's here just accompany them."
"Yes, it's."
Farhan then went inside the house. While Amira is in the living room meeting Laila's friends.
The five friends of Laila got up from her seat. They kissed Amira's hand one by one.
"Laila's mother, how's she doing?" tanya Riri one of Laila's friends who played to Laila's house.
"Well, as you can see. Umi's condition is like this," said Amira.
"Officially Laila can't walk?" ask Laila's friend another one named Dini.
"Yes." Yeah."
"Any pain, Umi?" ask Evi the other friend while looking at Amira's feet.
Amira widened her smile. Amira was happy, when she saw Laila's friends were so attentive to her.
"Actually we came here to visit Uminya Laila. But we haven't had time. Because our schoolwork is a lot," said Riri.
"What task?" tanya Amira stared at the five children in turn.
"Task much. There are making group crafts, mathematics, and much more" Evi continued.
"Well, it's also called school. Umi used to go to school. Moreover, Umi kan SMP is also already in the pesantren. Even more of his duties in pesantren than at school in his own village," said Amira told all of his experiences to Zia.
"What's the truth about Laila?" ask Evi.
"Yes." Yeah."
"I was afraid to go to the boarding school. Though my mother told me to go to the boarding school after graduating Junior High. But he said in the pesantren it's a lot of his duty," said Evi again.
"Yes. Moreover, his memorization is also much. But it makes us challenged you know," said Amira.
"Umi told her experience in boarding school, I was also afraid of mumps" said Laila.
"But Umi said I, after graduating Junior High, I want to enter the boarding school," continued Laila.
"Yes good dong, let it be with me," said Evi.
