Becoming Like My Mother
CHAPTER 32

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Melati while in front of the apartment door.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied one from within. He also heard her approaching the door.

"Dark,"

"Yes brother, oh yes I brought you a cheese martabak." Show what he bought.

"Well you know, Brother just wanted to buy it after winning Asyifa." Lulu says sparkling.

Melati smiled happily, "Yes let's eat."

Melati and Lulu go to the television room. Afterwards Melati went to the kitchen to make her favorite hot chocolate. Indeed, he had intended to write his novel accompanied by chocolate drinks and martabak.

"I want to make a drink, do you want something, sister?" The bargain is on Lulu.

"I can get you some coffee?"

"Sure,"

Ringing notifications from his phone makes him put the tools he is holding to make a drink.

The next few days I wasn't home. So you don't have to come to my house. I mean, if you want to meet Aaz, that's fine. ~ Brother Azein.

Alright, ~ Jasmine.

Who was there snorted annoyedly reading the message sent by Melati.

Real short. His inner.

Melati continued her activities and as usual she would write her online novel.

"Why do you like novels so much?" Tanya Lulu who was sipping coffee made by Melati.

"That's why I loved it. My friends used to talk about their lives. I sometimes give him solutions or advice. And that night I will fantasize about what will happen next. Every event must have a silver lining, right?, Well I think by sharing it with others or loyal readers of my work can also motivate them. But of course with a little touch of my imagination." Say Melati long times wide.

"Oh so." Lulu Response. He was also playing with Ashifa.

Melati currently does not want to play with Asyifa. Because after he came home, he did not immediately take a shower or just clean himself. He is aware that in the smell, but also no intention to shower or make his body fragrant 🤭.

***

It didn't feel like two months, Melati taught Azein to play the piano. Melati was amazed by Azein who had been good at playing the piano. He did not know that it was from the beginning Azein qualified in this matter.

And during that time they were also very close, arguably have become friends. Both still harbored their own feelings. But not infrequently if Azein teases Melati or seduces her. Jasmine is also sometimes carried away because of the temptation of Azein.

Currently Melati is accompanying Azein's nephew who deliberately stayed at the house. She was the same age as her sister Hussein. It's just that this is a girl. It flashed through his mind to match the two.

"Oh yes Brother, I had a duty to go home from school. Can't Kiki help me?" Ask Dina to Aaz. Kiki is the nickname of the entire extended family on Aaz, while its original name itself is Azkia Alya Khasishah.

"Of course, where's your job." Aaz.

"Wait ya," Dina went towards her room and picked up the book in her backpack.

"Your niece is so funny, Az." Said Melati who was anxious with Dina, she was already seven years old but the excitement on her cheeks made her faith never change from before.

"Yes right, but isn't he the same age as Husein?"

"Yes, it's only a few months different."

"I think they.-" Aaz glanced at Melati and chuckled together.

"It could be true, but do you know?, Husein often told me about playing with a lot of women. He's already a playboy."

"Really?, how can it be?"

"Yes, she once told me that her male friends must have had one female friend. And they call him a girlfriend because they see their brother if they play together called a girlfriend. But he himself changes every day."

"I don't know either."

Melati and Aaz were engrossed in telling me about a little boy today. Before long Dina came with her writing equipment.

"Don't see this" said Dina by opening the page of her book, there is a task that has been given by her teacher.

"Religious Lesson?" Aaz spelled out the letters on the cover of the book.

"Yes Brother, usually I can find the answer through LKS. But my LKS is at home." Answer Dina.

"Well, let's see Brother." Aaz opened the book. Melati also comes to see Dina's homework.

"Yes you have written the answer" Aaz gave the book and opened Dina's pencil case.

Melati and Aaz help Dina finish her job. Religious lessons are indeed maples that are very liked by the two head girls. So it is not difficult for both of them to answer the questions in the book.

"Alhamdulillah there is one more question, brother. Look."

Aaz and Melati saw what Dina showed. They smile happily.

"Well, what's the matter." said Melati.

"Nun died ( ⁇ ) would be called Iqlab if met with...." Dina read the last thing.

"Nun die ( ⁇ ) will be called Iqlab if it meets the letter Ba ( ⁇ )," answered Melati.

"Hore.., done thanks brother." Girang Dina clapped her hands and hugged the two.

"Together." Both say.

"Oh yeah don't forget to straighten up" Aaz told Dina.

"OKs. Oh yes Brother see the wise Kancil book no?" Ask Dina.

"No, why is it."

Dina put on her grim face and looked embarrassed. "Please help me find you, sister." Said slowly. Makes jasmine squash and pinch her puffed cheeks.

Aaz sighed, "Alright come on. Just walk over for a second." Aaz took Dina's hand.

"Yes." Yeah." Melati smile. He opened his car.

"Nun died ( ⁇ ) will be called Iqlab if it meets the letter Ba ( ⁇ ), and I will be called love if I meet you." Azein suddenly appeared and sat down beside Melati.

Jasmine looked up at her face, Azein was smiling sweetly at her. He himself was also holding a smile. They looked at each other for quite a while.

"My love, like the sign of Waqaf, 'Hit is not to stop." He continued, leading to the question of number one in Dina's book.

"Nun dead ( ⁇ ) can be called ikhfa if it meets many letters that are fifteen then I can love you in many ways."

Deg deg. Jasmine's heart is beating ever faster.

"Eh." Aaz's voice broke the second daydream. He also heard Azein's chatter for Melati. He also smiled looking at her.

Sontak Azein and Melati misbehaved. They bow their heads to each other.

"Oh yeah, you guys didn't resume your training?" Ask Aaz.

"Oh yes Brother is here to call Melati for practice." Azein said a little clumsy.

"Yes, we trained first, Az." Pungkas Jasmine.

"Just go ahead." Aaz leaves them after cleaning up Dina's toy, which is assisted by Melati and Azein.
