Papa Hisham could not say anything to hear the explanation about the purpose and purpose of Shanum buying the robot and cloth.

While Mulan's mother could only stand still looking at all the robots that were standing on her front desk.

"Well!" suddenly papa Hisham laughed crisply to neutralize his shock.

"Did Emyr know all this?"

Mama Mulan shook her head. "It doesn't seem to know Pa. Only Emyr knew that Shanum had invited Mama to the mall. Because Shanum's permission is with Emyr."

Papa Hisham scratches his head that is not itchy, because it can engage himself with a strange cravings period and make him feel the latest thing in his life.

Suddenly papa Hisham's attention was diverted towards the ringing of the cellphone in his pocket. Seeing the name of the colleague, Papa Hisham immediately raised it.

"Hello Mr. Shafiq. How are you?" said papa Hisham.

The person called lord Shafiq answered him immediately. "My news is good."

"I heard from Mr. Vino, you're in Indonesia, so I called you on purpose."

"And I hear again, your daughter-in-law is pregnant huh, Mr. Hisham. Well then, congratulations on welcoming your first grandchild."

Papa Hisham smiled across the street. A man who is his age and has been partnering with his company for quite a long time. You could say Mr. Syafiq is his friend plus close colleagues.

"Thank you."

"Oh yeah! Coincidentally you called, how about we meet this afternoon. We haven't talked to each other in a long time. I have not yet returned to Turkey" said Hisham.

"Well! May Mr. Hisham. It just so happens that my schedule is not very busy today. Where are you going to meet?"

"In restaurants usually, how?" said papa Hisham.

"All right! Then I'll see you there, Mr. Hisham."

Papa Hisham answered him immediately. Then he ended his phone call.

Mama Mulan who is daritadi beside Papa Hisham just keep quiet while listening to the husband talking over the phone.

"Papa go first Ma. Have lunch with Mr. Shafiq. Mama had lunch with Shanum."

Mama Mulan nodded her head. "Yes Pa! Be careful on the road."

After saying goodbye to Mulan's mother, Hisham's father immediately rushed out of the house. He then drove his own car to the restaurant where he had made an agreement with Mr. Shafiq.

About a few minutes on the way, finally Papa Hisham arrived at the restaurant where he had already made an appointment.

Papa Hisham who had parked his car, then immediately entered the restaurant. Inside the restaurant, Papa Hisham had already searched for the whereabouts of lord Shafiq. When he saw her, Hisham's father approached her.

"Shefiq!"

The Shafiq master who heard someone calling him immediately turned his eyes away. "Mr Hisham! Come on, have a seat!"

Papa Hisham smiled, then sat down on the chair that was in front of master Shafiq. The two of them exchanged greetings and asked each other's circumstances.

"It seems, you look younger huh Mr. Hisham," joked Mr. Shafiq.

Papa Hisham laughed. "Maybe it's a new aura within me, because hearing soon will have grandchildren."

"Really! You are right Sir! I used to be like you too." Mr. Shafiq laughed.

While busy talking, suddenly their eyes were diverted towards someone who greeted them.

"Master Bagas! Who happens to meet you here?" papa Hisham, Mr. Bagas and Mr. Shafiq shake hands with each other.

"May I join?"

Papa Hisham and master Shafiq immediately nodded their heads. The man called Mr. Bagas was a little younger than the father of Hisham and the lord of Shafiq. But he already had a grandson from Papa Hisham.

"Where are you from Mr Bagas?" ask Mr. Shafiq.

"It just so happens to have a meeting with a client around here. And I want to have a quick coffee here, not to be able to meet with Mr. Hisham and Mr. Shafiq."

Papa Hisham nodded. "Thank you Mr. Bagas."

"Hows it? Is your son-in-law craving a no-no like my son used to?" mr. Bagas looks curious.

Hearing the question from Mr. Bagas, papa Hisham immediately laughed out loud. That certainly makes Mr. Bagas and Mr. Shafiq feel surprised by papa Hisham.

"Why are you laughing Mr. Hisham?" ask Mr. Shafiq.

"I look like I'm as contagious as you two."

"My son-in-law Shanum, he's been having weird cravings lately" Papa Hisham still laughed.

Papa Hisham talks about Shanum, as if Shanum is his daughter, and he is proud of it. Because from the first if his colleagues talk about his daughter-in-law or daughters who are pregnant or craving, he can only be silent and listen.

"Well! What cravings can you know sir?" ask Mr. Bagas.

"At least not crave like my daughter used to, who asked to buy food from abroad."

"Or like my son-in-law, who asked for the whole house in pink paint" said Mr. Syafiq.

"Or the worst is his son, Mr. Haidar," said Mr. Shafiq.

"Indeed, his son, Mr. Haidar, craves what is lord Shafiq?" ask papa Hisham.

"You don't know Mr Hisham?" mr. Bagas shook his head. Papa Hisham also shook his head because he did not know the news at all.

"That! The Cantika son of Mr. Haidar, he wants to see Mr. Haidar wearing all pink clothes for a week when going to the office. Imagine how bad it is?" mr. Bagas laughed.

"What time?" said papa Hisham.

"Yes Mr. Hisham. And her husband Cantika was told to study makeup with her. Not bad?" said Mr. Shafiq as well.

"Alhamdulillah! Means that my son-in-law's cravings are still fairly natural then?" papa Hisham rubbed his chest.

"What about your son-in-law's cravings, Mr Hisham?" ask Mr. Shafiq.

"My son-in-law yesterday craved wanting to eat acid-acid. Eh not that he's not the one who ate, but me and Emyr who were told to eat."

"ah! Eating acid is still mending Mr. Hisham," said Mr. Bagas.

"Indeed you want to eat, pickled young mango mixed with starfruit super sour wuluh it!" challenge papa Hisham.

Sir Shafiq who heard the words of papa Hisham immediately swallowed his saliva. "If I don't want to! Afraid of stomach pains!"

"That's the problem!" said papa Hisham.

"Then is there another Mr Hisham?" ask Mr. Bagas.

"This was just now when Mr. Shafiq called me. I'm being shown cravings for my daughter-in-law."

"What is Mr Hisham?" ask Mr. Shafiq.

"My daughter-in-law's cravings love the smell of a new bag. And he was craving to buy sophisticated robots that are quite expensive."

"That's still fair Mr Hisham?"

"It is still natural, Sir Shafiq? If the robot is dressed in syar'i clothes plus hijabnya reasonable not. Keep it up, all the leaves in the garden yard house in colorful paint, it's still natural not that?"

Sir Shafiq and Mr. Bagas were stunned when they heard him. But after that, the two of them laughed out loud as they felt funny.

Basic opa-opa aka grandfathers, can also ngrumpi. Hadeuh!

Now Hisham's father knows how the fun can be about his son and daughter-in-law who are cravings.
