1 week later
Today is Saturday, every Saturday Umar, Sarah, and Namira, always do the tradition of the road jalam on Sunday night. Or sometimes if you do not have time to walk, just gather, joke, and eat together until sleeping three becomes a routine on Sunday nights.
However, all those beautiful things instantly disappeared like being swallowed by the earth. It has been a few weeks since Burhan's birth, and the Sunday night tradition of family togetherness has been lost. Even at dinner, Umar and Sarah did not allude to a lost tradition. Namira just stared at them and became a pendegar when Umar and Sarah wanted to plan to buy Burhan equipment.
"Mas, tomorrow's holiday how about we go to the mall? I want to buy Burhan's equipment" Sarah said
"Yes tomorrow we will go to the mall, we will buy Burhan equipment that is still lacking" replied Umar
"Yes, what time is it good tomorrow to the mall?" ask Sarah
"How much more afternoon?" tawar Umar
"Yes Mas, I agree. anyhow pity Burhan if the afternoon is hot," complained Sarah
"Hmm.all right," replied Umar.
Namira catches our word in the chat Sarah and Umar means he was not invited. You see either Umar or Sarah did not look at him while talking. Namira wanted to get angry, cry and scream but she felt she had no right to do that. Namira then stopped her dinner and let her go to the room.
"Mom, dad, I'm full, I want to go to the room" Namira said
"But your food is not finished yet Namira" replied Umar
"I was full, I took most rice. I went to my room first father, mother," said Namira
"Yes dear" answered Sarah and Umar
Namira ran to her room and laid her body in her bed. In the room, Namira could only ponder. Namira felt uncomfortable surviving with conditions like this.
"What should I do now, father and mother are getting away from me. I'm slowly sure they're forgetting me. I really miss the good times first, but what can I do? I'm just a stepdaughter. I don't have the right to demand anything from them, "inner Namira
Namira thought about what to do to hold back her grief. And of course Namira prevents bad things from happening which of course makes her feel even more hurt. Namira knows his position in this house. He also felt unneeded. Finally, with a unanimous determination, Namira had decided her choice.
"I'm sorry dad, mom. It's my choice to do this. Whenever I love you all" Namira muttered

The next day, Sarah wakes up from her sleep to call Namira for breakfast. But while in Namira's room, Sarah panics not seeing Namira in the room.
"Namira's...Where are you, son?" said Sarah
A panicked Sarah approached Umar who was sitting on the terrace.
"Mas, have you seen Namira?" ask Sarah to panic
"Open in the room? I did not see the deck" replied Umar
"Namira wasn't in Mas's room I just checked" replied Sarah
"Sir, you are calm. We must find Namira. Now you better take care of Burhan. While Mas will look for Namira," said Umar
Sarah could only nod herself straight to the room to meet Burhan. While Umar, he went into Namira's room. While entering Namira's room, Umar saw the trophies and certificates at Namira's study table. Umar was curious about the cup trying to hold it.
How surprised Umar when he saw the writing on the certificate. It is written in :
Award Certificate
Namira Cahyana Letari's
Champion 1
Mathematics Olympiad level 2 SD/MI level in East Java Province
Umar was also surprised by the date of the Olympics which coincided with Burhan's aqiqah
"Astagfirullah, O Allah, son, why did you not say the same father and mother?" said Umar
Umar at that time did not realize the reason Namira did not tell anything important to him and Sarah. Until the end, Umar saw the paper under the pillow. The paper contains the words :
To my dear father and mother
Thank you, father and mother for being my father and mother.I am so happy that my father and mother love me. But I am aware of my position in this family.I have no right to protest, anger, jealousy, jealousy, sad when you get away from me. Adek Burhan deserves more than you. I also love Burhan deck
I miss my dad dropping me off at school and my mom picking me up for school, as well as the tradition of walking Sunday nights, getting together, eating together, joking together, and sleeping together every Sunday night. I miss all that stuff, but mom and dad take it easy, I'm not mad and I'm not going to sue and burden you guys, because I understand that Burhan's brother has to be a priority and still needs you.
May my father and mother be happy...
Don't worry about me...
You all keep shopping for Burhan's needs..
I say goodbye to mom's dad...
I'm sorry I left without saying goodbye...
Deggs....
