Love U, Short
Tiba-Tiba Move
"Assalamu Alaikum's... " Aisha said a greeting as soon as she entered the house. In her village, the house is never locked during the day. But, entering the house still has to say hello.
"Mother, Ica's home..." Aisyah continued to walk in search of her mother who was usually in the kitchen. But as far as his feet go, the mother is not yet visible.
Aisyah only saw the dining table as usual containing food covered with food hoods. Aisyah opened the hood and saw her favorite fried shrimp with mustard stir fry.
Hunger strikes her, but out of curiosity for her invisible mother, Asiyah breaks her intention to eat.
Aisyah turned towards her mother's room. The plan knocked on the door, but when he heard his mother's voice like he was talking to someone made him urug knock on the door.
"But, Ica will be willing to go up to class XII again, Well. the time must be moved. Nanggung, 3 more weeks have been the exam class increase" sounded his mother's voice as if protesting. For a moment there was no sound. Aisyah also tried to digest her mother's conversation.
"Yes understand. I also understand my duties. But, we cannot ignore the comfort of Ica. I don't want her school to be disrupted because she has to move in at a time like this"
Until here Aisyah understood that her mother was talking to her father on the phone. And they're talking about moving.
"Ok. We'll talk about it later at home. The Ica must also be informed and ask for his opinion"
Then back inaudible voice.
"Waalaikum greetings, Dad"
Hearing her mother hang up the phone, Aisyah hurried to her room. He immediately changed his uniform to a home-grown outfit. After that, he returned to the dining table and met his mother who was sitting pensive.
Like hearing footsteps, Norma, Aisyah's mother looked back. I was surprised to see his son change clothes.
"When do you go home, don't you realize?" Ask mom with a frowning forehead.
"From now, but because I did not meet my mother, Ica went straight to the room to change uniforms. Because I'm hungry, Ica will be here soon. Where's mom from?" Ica asked back.
"Mother from the room, pick up the phone from dad" replied the mother with a smile.
After that, Aisyah and her mother started lunch. As always, the mother offers several side dishes available. No hesitation in taking his son the food he likes.
Aisyah's mother is a very considerate mother. Sometimes they talk about the activities of today. Aisyah with her school and the mother with the excitement of gardening behind the house or the latest news in this village that is obtained when out buying fish or other needs.
The two of them looked like sisters who were confiding in each other. Understandably, Aisyah was an only child. Because his father did not want to add children, traumatized by the state of his mother when giving birth to Aisyah
"Ca, you have PR today? want mom to work?" Ask Norma after they finish eating and washing dishes
"there's no, Mom. Aisyah just wants to take a nap, tired earlier in school. There are exercises for the completion of the students of class XII" replied Aisyah immediately.
"ok deh. Then you take a nap on this. But, first let the food digest. New deh bobo beautiful" said the mother with a fluffy smile, glancing at her son who was standing next to her. Arrange dishes that have been washed.
"Ready, His" Ica replied with a wide smile while taking a respectful style. After drying her hands, Ica turned towards her room. Sit down to watch his favorite opa-opa movie for about 10 minutes, then lay down on the bed. Prepare to enter a beautiful dream.

"Ca, father and mother want to tell you something" Haidar, Aisyah's father started the conversation as they sat together in the living room.
"What's the matter, Dad?" ask Aisyah curiously. Although in his shadow had appeared conjectures about his move.
"Look Ca, the bank where my father worked opened a branch in Flower City. So, dad was transferred there. Actually, this has long been said, it's just that I don't want to interfere with your learning concentration. And the day after Monday, I've got to get to work. So, tomorrow we have to take care of your move to a new school at dad's work" Haidar paused his explanation, then glanced at his wife.
"Son, if you don't want to move, we can still stay here. Dad and mom agreed, that if you don't want to move, you're going to move on your own and we're going to stay. Dad's gonna be home for the weekend so we can hang out together. The flower city is not too far from here". Norma gives another option.
Aisyah also could not imagine how her father could live alone without a mother. All this time, I was so cute to his mother. When he was at home, they were together almost all the time. Cook together, clean together, wash together even garden together. I never went out without my mom, except for the office.
Aisyah does not want to be selfish, even though her friends in this village are very good. But her family's harmony can't be at stake just because it's hard to move now. Aisyah is old enough to understand the importance of family togetherness. He had heard many news of the affair of a husband or wife, even when they were close together, especially if they had to stay away. Oh. no, although Aisyah is convinced by the loyalty of her parents to each other. But he's not sure about the players and players out there who are always looking for loopholes if their parents live apart. Moving is not new to Aisyah, they only counted only 5 years in this place. His father often moved to work, so actually this place was not his hometown
"How son?, we will respect your wishes" asked his father, trying to make his son feel compelled to make up his mind.
"Come, move in, Dad. Ica doesn't want to stay away from dad. If the school problem, Ica can move anywhere that is important both according to father and mother" replied Aisyah steady.
"Alhamdulillah, thank you very much dear. I don't know what if you don't want to come with me. I've chosen a good school for you there. So you don't have to worry. Tomorrow, you stay at school to pick up the transfer letter because I have submitted your move from last week" Haidar said with a sparkling face. Unaware of Aisyah's shock.
"Daddy took care of everything without telling me?. So the question and the offer were just formalities?" Cecar Aisyah's.
"Dear, father has indeed conveyed to your school. But dad said, the decision to move or not you still determine. So, I just take care so that when you are really ready to move, we do not need to be too rushed to prepare everything. Well, it is proven to feel father that you are willing to move" said his mother, so that Aisyah does not feel offended by the attitude of the father who seemed to force his will to move.
"yes son, I didn't mean to move you without consent. I'm just trying to use the time I have left as best I can. Tomorrow is Friday Ca, so you can immediately say goodbye to your teachers and friends. Because Sunday we will go to the city of flowers" Haidar spoke in a super soft tone, so that his son does not lash because of his actions.
"Well, Ica was just shocked. Hopefully, the curriculum used there is the same as in the old school Ica. So, Ica did not miss a lesson. Especially soon for the class exam". Said Aisha weakly.
Even though he obeyed the will of his parents. He was also hesitant to adapt to the new environment. Especially when the end of the year assessment as it is now. Especially when he remembered many students who were bullied at a school. The school is now very child friendly. It is not just the teachers and staff who are friendly. The students at the school are very friendly. And the rules imposed are very supportive of the comfort of students.
"God willing, you will be comfortable there. Because we'll stay at the top. There, the weather is very cold but the natural beauty is so real. Not only to tourist attractions, we have been presented with a beautiful view. The residents look very beautiful. Along the way you will see many blooming flowers, a garden of strawberries, cabbage, carrots and many other plants that add to the beautiful scenery. The mountain looks green. Many pine trees that add makeup, cool the air and spoil the eyes. Anyway, you will see the true beauty of nature" Haidar so eagerly told stories, promoting the city of flowers.
Norma smiled enthusiastically at her husband. He knew very well that Haidar was excited to move, because the location was very beautiful and he would become the branch head if he was willing to move there. Their economy will improve, and their children can get higher education without worrying about costs. Not even half-hearted, Haidar immediately enrolled his son in the best school there, whose level was the same even surpassing some of the superior schools in the sub-district where he lives now.
Although the cost of education is very expensive, because the school carries out cross-subsidies. So children with low economic levels will be free. Meanwhile, children with upper-middle-class economies will pay according to their parents' income. The higher the income of the parents, the higher the payment. This school is in great demand so that every year the enrollment is very much and comes from various regions.
After the conversation in the family room. They went back to their room to rest. Aisyah for so long that she can sleep. All the farewell scenarios with his friends have been drawn up. Until 01:00, sleepiness beats it.

"Hwa., I don't think I'm bestie. In fact, yesterday was still the same-samaki rehearsal drama. So who I replace it later" Cecar hawa with his typical Makassar accent, when Aisyah say goodbye to go, he said,
"Barupi was also yesterday I know, bestie. If the teachers, from kemarinji natahu week but secretlyji because it is not certain either. Move my father's duties so must come along. When it comes to the stage later, Adami is replacingka. I've asked Ms. Ida" replied Aisyah no less sad because she had to separate from her best friend. His logic can also adjust to his friends because it has long mingled with the community in this village.
After chatting and saying goodbye with his bestie, Asiyah said goodbye to her other friends. Without realizing it, there was one figure who looked at him wistfully. Fadil, the class leader who had been secretly watching him.
"Thank you guys, for the kindness of all this time. I think I can meet you, learn and play with you. Hopefully later we can meet again" said Aisyah Lirih, she looked at her friends with tears.
"We are also happy, befriend you, remember we are always well Ca" Filda, another friend said as she hugged him.
The atmosphere lasted about half an hour in the class. After that, Aisyah was escorted by her friends to the teacher's room to say goodbye, then took the letter and finally picked up by her father.
At the exit gate, back atmosphere haru happened. In fact, Eve did not want to take off her embrace from Aisyah. After being soothed by others, Eve finally stopped crying and released Aisyah with a sweet smile even with tears.
"See you later, everyone. Remember well, we can still continue to communicate, because at my number well, God willing I will not replace" said Aisyah as she stepped towards her father's car. Even in the car, Aisyah was still staring while waving at her friends.
His eyes accidentally cross paths with Fadil who somehow Aisyah difficult to interpret it. Afraid of the baper, Aisyah simply smiled then turned her eyes to the others. Don't know, that the one who was touched seemed to want to move with him.
The car drove off from Aisyah's school. Her mother continued to entertain, who today deliberately came along because she knew Aisyah would be sad to part with her friends. The next day, they will soon move on, in order to adapt more quickly to the new environment. Today will be spent packing. Aisyah kept thinking about everything that would be done in her new place. Unknowingly, the car arrived at his house.
