My New Niece

                Today, I’m going to tell you about my new niece. She is a cute baby. She is the daughter of my cousin. She was born last week, on the 19^th of December, 2010.

                In the afternoon of last Sunday, my cousin called me. He asked me if I could go to the hospital because his wife had felt the contraction. Actually I was confused because I had many assignments that I hadn’t done. But I promised that I would go to the hospital soon.

                After took a bath, my mother and I went to the hospital. We rode a motorcycle. I still confused with my assignments that I left, but my mother had been trying to convince me that I would repent if I didn’t go to the hospital.

                When I arrived in the hospital, my cousin’s wife had borne. She bore a cute daughter. Diana, who is their first daughter, started to show her jealous. She didn’t permit her father to see the baby. Wow! It was so funny for me.

                My cousin’s wife asked me whether I had found the name for her baby. Then I showed her three names which my friend had looked for my new niece. These are my options: Khansa Haura Aniqah, Caliana Zhaafira, and Zara Alifiyyah Hasya. My cousin’s wife chose the second name, but my cousin chose the first name. So I had an idea to combine the names. Finally we named my new niece Caliana Haura Zhaafira. It meant a kindly princess which always be given the fortunate.

                It was our beautiful day. We hope that Fira will make our life more beautiful. Amin.
