said the good guy.

sia.aap..bos.seller says.

boss..bos!.don't overdo dong.

Yono who walked straight without looking to the right and to the left, finally reached home as well.

he entered his house without greeting.

to farisa's room,

yono who was still asleep suddenly woke up because he was shocked ...

yono opened the package containing sweet martabak

Farisa took one part of the martabak.

ehm...leza.

I am worried about his father's response.

they are also chewing on this food.

uh wait a minute well..., where will the food be taken?

without answering directly taken away aja martabak by yono.

well ...don't take it away well!...

farisa whine...

wait well, I asked for one more part huh.rengek farisa again asked for his father's approval.

his father just stared flat ahead while pausing for a while then continued his net again.

Mbah..mbah.

cry of farisa

hearing the crying of Farisa's grandmother who was cooking at her house came to farisa, but before reaching farisa's room, she met a yono who walked carrying a package containing something.

Yon..? where you going?

yono did not reply, even turning his head reluctantly.

why your son ?

also not answering.

the grandmother continued her steps to Farisa's room, and asked

why are you faris,? why are you crying and screaming?

father mbah...

what happened to your father!

that's mbah....

what's up ris? ask her again

he said he bought me a sweet martabak, but I just ate a piece of it, already taken away his hammer.

then he followed Yono.

heh yono's...

I told you to make Farisa for Farisa..

no need to ngeyel...! emak yono's firm

I'm so quick.

finally, Yono left one more piece of sweet martabak for farisa and deliver it to Farisa's room

it looks farisa has fallen asleep again.sounds as much as farisa leftover crying that is still clearly heard by yono while sleeping.

yono did not touch him.

then stepped away towards the place of his tongkrong.

While in the place of the sweet martabak, someone who had paid for the lack of yono, while waiting for 2 packs of martabak order was talking.

ask the message.

oh.that's his house near here sir.

Farisa had stopped crying, and then she fell back asleep.at a time like this she actually missed her mother. but what is the power he is just a little boy who can not do much for his family life.

in her sleep Farisa dreams of meeting her mother.
