"Abang, how was the test? Can you not do it?" nadia asked softly.
After returning home from school to take Arnold's entrance test, Nadia immediately put Alan in her room. After making sure Alan was asleep, he immediately changed clothes. After finishing wearing his casual clothes, he went out to sit in the family room which turned out to have Arnold there.
Mama Anisa is going to her boutique after dropping them off in the yard. Arnold went into the room and changed into a relaxed outfit.
Hearing that someone was sitting next to him even asking about his school entrance test, Arnold immediately took his eyes off the TV. Arnold smiled looking at his bunda who was looking at him gently.
"Can, mother. Just that Arnold deliberately made out last to make sure that the answer was correct. Uh... Again fun to check the answer already there is Alan in front of the room" said Arnold while chuckling softly.
"I'm sorry your nosy sister is yes" said Nadia who also laughed.
Arnold lay his head on the thigh of the mother who then Nadia stroked her hair gently. Arnold doesn't usually take it this way with him making him so happy. When there was Alan, Arnold certainly chose to give up and did not want to be close to the adult.
"Hopefully the results of the entrance test are satisfactory. If not, we won't be angry. We can find another school" Nadia said with a smile.
Arnold was happy to hear that his mother did not always demand him to be first or best in his education. The most important thing for Nadia is that her children are comfortable doing their activities so far. Besides education at home also they prioritize to form the character of the children themselves.
"Thank you mother, has been good in educating brothers and sisters. Even though we are not your biological children, but never once distinguish it from Alan. We are happy to have a mother like you" Arnold said with teary eyes.
During this time Nadia continued to educate and even treat all her children the same. Whether it's coming out of her own womb or not. Even if Alan was wrong, he wouldn't defend him. Arnold was so salute with his kindness and determination in receiving a child from her husband.
Nadia looked at Arnold who had now shed tears on both cheeks. Nadia immediately removed it then changed Arnold's position to sit on his lap.
"Mother is also very lucky to have you. Without you, maybe you will not meet papa continue to be able to accompany good children such as brothers and sisters" said Nadia with a hoarse voice.
Nadia was so tight in her chest when she heard the thank you from her son. He wanted to feel like he was crying because of his extreme affection for them, but he did not want to make Arnold so worried. Nadia could only hug Arnold tightly while hiding her soft sobbing.
"Promise yes we will always be together. Mommy will be accompanied and keep you until success" he continued hope.
Arnold no longer answered his mother's words. He hugged his mother tightly. Comfortable and warm so felt, the most comfortable place to complain all the pain that he had felt so far. Arnold promised in his heart to take care of this angel in his arms with all his heart and life.

Two days after the school entrance test was held, today is the time awaited by all prospective students and parents. Of the 1200 applicants who took the test, only 80 students were accepted.
Judging from the amount received alone it feels unfair even the comparison is so striking. But the school does this in order to filter out superior seeds that are not only smart in academia but also talent. It is seen that the proposed question is not only about academic material, general, and knowledge of interest talent.
Arnold was accompanied by Nilam, Alan, and Nadia who will monitor the results. Arnold and Nilam were so nervous that they even hugged Nadia because of the sudden fear.
"Acute cancer, agi ula online cudah belajal. Pelcaya cama Allah bial bought hacil yan aik" said Alan wisely.
Even from earlier Alan was already caught off guard to see Arnold and Nilam who hugged his mother. He also wanted to be in that position but realized that Arnold and Nilam needed Nadia to calm him down.
"You've never had a hangover doing a gini test so you don't know how nervous it is" Arnold said cynically.
"Woooo... Olang dikelitahu. Talo ndak escaped belalti belajalna has not been famous and not yet lejekin" said Alan by staring cynically at his brother.
Nadia could only shake her head to hear Alan's words that had a point. But seeing the face of the little boy who felt like inviting a fight certainly did not match his words.
"Here you go, let's check. It's time for this" Nadia said, stopping their fight.
Nilam and Arnold nodded their heads even as they hid their faces in Nadia's arms. Nadia was the one who fiddled while continuing to look for her second name. Nadia's eyes were round and even her eyes were glazed to see what was in front of her.
"Why would a tok tayak want angis? Bang Anol and Ilam's brother didn't escape?" asked Alan curiously.
Even Arnold and Nilam who had hidden his face immediately raised his head. They looked at Nadia with curious and demanding looks. They were afraid that later what was said by Alan was true.
"You two got away. Even brother and sister Nilam nih you know the value of the test can be ranked first and second" said Nadia with teary eyes.
The two stared in disbelief at Nadia and looked directly at the laptop screen displaying their names. The two hugged Nadia because they were so happy with what she saw and heard today.
"Gee... Brother Tama Ilam pintle. Bica passed the test" cried Alan while clapping cheerfully.
"Congratulations brother, sister. Hope you are at home at school" said Nadia.
The two nodded their heads with a soft sobbing created between his arms with Nadia. Actually, both are only afraid to disappoint parents if they do not pass this test. Alan came closer to them and hugged them tightly.
"You are the children of a great and successful mother" said Nadia while peeping the tops of her three heads alternately.
Although only the results of the entrance test are commonly felt by parents in general but for Nadia this is very different. When Anara and Abel entered SD, she did not participate because she was in a coma. So now it is his first experience to witness his son being accepted by the school through the test.
