Not as Beautiful as Nur Laela's Dream
Accustomed to Sharing

There are still a few more days of semester break, but this small family vacation should end sooner than before. When Oma Ranti came to pick me up, they could do nothing but follow their Oma's will. Would not protest even dare, when they saw their mother shook her head slowly.

Usually Laela, Izzar and Sofiah will go home the day before school on the first day. One day is used to rest before tomorrow back to school. But these? Hah, everything changes as their status changes too.

" Next time you can go home again!" Laela talked to her children.

" Really Ma?" The answer is Meidina. The little girl was not satisfied to be here.

There was a lot he thought about when he left this place. Tomorrow morning who will pick strawberries that have been flushed? Who will collect the eggs in Pak Budi's henhouse? Then the fresh water flowing in the river, Ah it feels like this holiday is too short for him.

If usually Laela and her two children will return home ushered by Mansyur, now the man can only wave on the porch of the house of Aminah Mother let go of them.

" Later we will buy a bigger car!" Oma Ranti when the car has driven away from the village gate.

Next to the driver, it's occupied by Laela. While in the side seat, oma flanked by both angels, and in the back row, dominated by Izzar alone.

" Yes oma, pity brother Izzar narrowly sitting in the back." Now they all looked back, where the boy was sitting alone. Behind him has piled up items that are usually taken home for supplies there.

They never brought a lot of clothes when they came home, just with makeshift clothes because they still left other clothes in the grandmother's house. But when you return later it is usually the seat of the rear Mansyur car will be fully filled. One of them is the eggs given by Pak Budi which there are several shelves.

Meidina chose to lift herself up making a small oma scream, "Where are you going?" Ask.

"To the back, accompany brother Izzar."

Inevitably, the middle-aged woman's hand moved helping the body to move backwards. " Stop it, Mr. Anto!" His orders were to the driver.

Behind, Izzar reached out to receive Meidina's body. " Why move deck, narrow!"

" Want to accompany big brother, beware I also sleep so it will not feel cramped." Meidina.

Izzar grimaced, precisely it would impact him who would gain even less space.

A while passed, the car moved forward again after the drama was over.

After a while, the boy's voice in the back had begun to disappear in hearing, perhaps having entered dreamland with both feet above Izzar's thigh.

Oma turned her head to her left side, where Sofiah sitting with her noble head drooping indicating that the boy had prepared to enter the dreamland. " Sofiah, here!" Clapping his thigh, wanting Sofiah to lay his head there. The little girl nodded slowly.

Oma Ranti nodded in understanding, perhaps embarrassed or hesitated at him. Though his grandson alone has done what this little family, but why when he wants to reply with their comfort looks reticent?

" Laela, we're in exchange. Sofiah is sleepy but does not want the same support oma." He understood that the little girl must have felt more free when she was with her mother. And sure enough, just as Laela was sitting, Sofiah immediately put her head on her mother's thigh.

Until finally, their journey this time is much longer than before because some times have to stop just to find comfort in their children.

" We're going straight home?" When the car entered the city. He was clearly talking to Laela, as all the boys were still in their dreamland.

What the house means here is his house. Wasn't Laela now his son-in-law, obviously he had to take her along.

" But, ..."

He was hesitant to join the family. She does not want to be a burden with her two children. But refusing to be reluctant, he is aware of his position as Oma's son-in-law. Why are you sorry about this marriage? Why didn't he try to speak out forcefully before?

" Our school clothes are still in the home of the oma service."

" Are there a few more days before school? We can get your stuff tomorrow or the day after."

The car had stopped perfectly in front of Oma Ranti's house. This is the first time Laela, Izzar and Sofiah set foot in this house.

Amazed, it obviously could not be covered by their views. A spacious two-story house, with enough yards for them to play chases.

Little wonder when I see Meidina why would want to be friends with those who feel incomparable to them. Especially with the oma who drags them into this luxurious life.

" Come on down!" Oma who was at the door of the car, extended her hand welcoming them.

" Later rest in the room again, oma has prepared a room for you!" Do not forget to smile to calm those who look a little surprised.

Either because it is still impressed with the big house, or the room that has been ready it.

" Bi, the room is ready, right?"Lah kok asked again, but it was the oma himself who said he had prepared a room.

Hah, oma just got home today. Yesterday I went on vacation, even if only with Ima Tni.

"Mom, it's everything." Outstretched hands help to carry the goods of his master.

" Where's armand?"

" Have not been home yet, usually also Mr. Armand came home tonight for a few days."

Oma just nodded her head, it was common indeed. So he wants to add new family members, so as not to be too lonely when living alone with Meidina.

" Yah!" His orders were on those who had just entered the house.

The first step led the boy to the room he had provided, he said.

The room with one single stop bed was enough for Izzar to occupy alone.

While the next room, precisely the Meidina room has been renovated in such a way that it can accommodate two girls with a bunk bed. For the business of those who sleep at the top and bottom let them govern it.

"This is really my room oma?" Meidina who didn't think her room would be like this.

Oma nodded in response to the question, "You like it!"

" Just like bangettttt!" His hand holding Sofiah's hand went around their room.

HIGga arrived Laela's turn who was taken by the oma to Armand's room. But it seemed that the woman was still hesitant to enter that much wider room.

" Aren't you pa-pa oma?" Ask ensures.

" You're Armand's wife, obviously not pa-pa. Go in there, rest first. Oma also wants rest in the room, achy." His hand pushed Laela's shoulder to enter then immediately closed the door.

But when it was slow and felt that people had rested because of fatigue, Laela chose to go out of the room and went to Izzar's room.

" Zar, I slept here, yeah!" He said as he approached the body of the son who had been lying down.

" Why mom?"

" No pa-pa, can ya?" The question is a little bit clear.

And it made Izzar shift his body, giving a little room for the mother despite having to crimp. It's okay, it's common for them to share like this.
