"Bapi, buy food dong, make friends" said Mauren asked.
"What do you want to buy?" ask Yudha.
"Anything, but a lot."
"Ok pretty, we stopped by the min market ahead ya." said Yudha, and immediately turn the steering wheel to the left to stop by a mini market.
Mauren went in, and Yudha took two baskets.

Mauren immediately approached his friends. Yudha and Noah's mother, just silently looked at Mauren who was distributing the food she had bought.
"Your little child has a high social spirit."
"Sure ma'am, I salute Rafael. He taught Mauren well, even though he was rude. Mauren is a lucky child, she is not a broken home child. Because the environment is very supportive, and Mauren is smart."
"You should not be forbidden or jealous of her ex-husband, if at any time visiting. How about it, she has a child from her marriage."
"No ma'am, I also taught Adinda, not to limit Rafael to meet with Mauren. And I wouldn't be angry if they were close. They're close, 'cause there's no kids except no kids."
"Good, if you have that thought. I like to hear it, you are Papi continued, if later you have a child from Adinda, you do not stay away or fade your affection with Mauren."
"No ma'am, I wouldn't be like that. I loved Mauren from the beginning, from the beginning I loved Adinda, not just Adinda, but Mauren. The heart has said, if I love Adinda, then I must also love her child like my own. I accept Adinda is not just her present, but her past. Not to be remembered, but to accept, and give her happiness."
"Mother is proud of you, sorry if you didn't approve of your relationship. Mom's scared of her, like what happened yesterday. But right you say, not serving and silence is better. And now, I don't hear that anymore" said Noah's mother.
"It is true" said Yudha.

"So far, they're cool, and they're good" Mauren said.
"Mauren, just move here with Grandma" said Noah's mother.
"If here, Mami and Papi also come."
"Don't, let's just Mauren. Meet Grandma who has no friends."
"No way, if there's Mami Papi's gonna."
"Mauren ate yes, has not eaten from earlier" said Yudha.
"Still full, eat cake."
"There's an hour to eat."
"Yes" said Mauren while playing the TV remote.

"Mas, stay here?" greet Elisha as he passes through the house of Noah's mother.
"Elisa, not really. Maghrib will also go home" said Yudha.
"Only alone?"
"Sama Mauren, she's in the same mother."
"Look very close, like a real child."
"Alhamdulillah."
"Mauren too, good grades - good he's a smart kid."
"Thank you, thank you."
"Sama - same Mas, if there is time to play Mas. Lama Mas does not play at home, mothers also often ask Mas if there is still frequent communication or meet. I said, it's rare."
"Yes, I'm busy El, sometimes when it's empty, the same family."
"Oh yeah, my number's changed?"
"Yes, I'm sorry I didn't tell you."
"It's okay."
"That's a group, not a personal number but it's specific to other purposes, so if the personal number is now only certain people."
"Oh that's it, when you're the husband of an important person."
"I'm sorry El, I don't mean what - how afraid someone will misuse my phone number."
"Yes I understand, but it's different."
"Sorry El, but I will never be different from you. I am still your friend, when you still want to interact with me, I will reply. I will never forget who I was. Maybe on the outside, I'm just a lucky Adjutant getting the heart of his leader, but when I'm at home, I'm his leader. She remains obedient and submissive to her husband, even though in terms of office she is the highest. But still I have to teach, right, his obedience to the husband. We're a normal couple, like the others, not the couple you see, the husband is beaten by the wife because of the rank, it's not wrong. And one, I was never arrogant, for what was arrogant. "said Yudha to Elisha, until Elisha could not say anything.
"Yes I understand, Adinda is lucky to get you. Men like you, deserve smart women, and beautiful like Adinda. "
"But prayer, may you have the best soul mate, for the world of the hereafter."
"Amen..!! "
