Grandma's departure has passed a month, even until now Kila is still not accustomed to the departure of grandmother. Her parents are also getting rarer at home including Sundays. They ignored the promise they made to always be at home on Sunday when there was still a grandmother.

Just like today, Sunday that Kila should be accompanied by her parents, they were busy taking care of her work out of town. They do not care about Kila who is alone after the death of grandmother, even they are increasingly indifferent to Kila. Maybe because the words of Kila who denied about Irsyad at that time made them reluctant to interact with Kila.

Since she was left behind by her grandmother, Kila started cooking for herself. He is increasingly frugal not to buy food outside when he will leave this house because it is saturated with his parents, he must be more frugal. He is also learning to open an online business as a dropship when he has to stop expecting monthly money from his mother.

"Today, cook fried rice. Cook a lot for dinner later so don't bother cooking again." Kila spoke to herself while preparing the food she wanted to cook. He was trying not to end with the departure of his grandmother. He is trying to be sincere, so he is trying to look happy too.

"Assalamu'alaykum" said someone. He is Riska, it seems that today he returned home but was alone because there was no sound of Gilang.

"Wa'alaykumussalam's chat. Where's papa, Ma?" kila said as Riska approached her.

"Papa still has a lot of work, so only mom comes home" Riska replied.

"Why do you want to leave papa alone? Grandma's look at time too, mom didn't come together. Didn't you suspect papa?" answer Kila as it is. He has also been this amazing since when mom visited grandma alone at that time.

"Hus, that can't be. Mama believe, really, same papa. Papa is working hard to support our family" Riska replied.

"Yes, it's up to you, Kila just reveals what I thought. Oiya, Ma, don't forget three more days of study forty days Grandma died. Kila ngingetin only, you see, the study time is three days and seven days grandma mama equally papa is not at home. If you want to come later, and at the hundredth day of study too. Kila is tired of answering the question of neighbors who like the name of the mother as papa. Kila said you work, they even reply that we are not lacking anything, there is no reason to continue working to achieve the target of wealth. And you're even talking about that you're more concerned with work than attending that important day." Kila blabbed while stirring her fried rice.

Riska did not seem to want to discuss the topic, because she felt she had been cornered and there was no room to dodge. He chose to enter his room on the second floor ending this conversation.

"Just mom and dad should come. Kila assume you have promised to come," said Kila rather yells because he knew that Riska had started climbing the stairs.

...****************...

The forty days of study arrived. Kila is very good at preparing for this study. Pleased, Irsyad still continues to come to his grandmother's forty-day studies. Irsyad also became an encouragement for Kila to continue life as before when there was still a grandmother.

"Mas, where are you from? Why is it so late? Did you forget or what?" Riska interrogates Gilang.

"Don't talk about it, I'm so tired," said Gilang lethargic. Gilang left Riska for the room.

When Kilang saw Gilang had just come home, he approached them. Before Kila arrived, Gilang went into his room.

"Papa just got home, Ma?" ask Kila to make sure.

"Yes, he said. Maybe today's work is a lot, continue papa also maxain himself to come home here to keep his promise. Let your dad rest first, yes," Riska replied.

"Mama is well treated like that, papa? Mama sure that papa is really tired because of work? Mama does not want to find out, maybe because mama is not next to papa's opportunity to do other things outside of work. Mama and papa also rarely do the same project. Both out of town, but don't live in the same place, right?" kila sarcas.

"Kila, why did you change like that? You intend to complain to mom and dad, huh?" tanya Riska raised her voice.

"Kila was suspicious of my mom. Even more menomorsatkan work rather than attending a grandmother's study. Mama is not more often at home after grandmother left, now even more busy and rarely go home. You guys make no difference. Better sell this house, Ma. There is no reason to stay here, my grandmother is not there. Mama can go back to our city first to make mama's job easier. Kila was able to spend time near Kila school so that she could live more independently from this. The house that is the place to go home has no function anymore. The residents already have a place to go home, so sell their homes," said Kila teary-eyed.

"Okay, if that's what you want. You can live independently as much as you can by sniffing. My mom will sell this house. Mom and Dad are going back to the old town. And because you are increasingly arguing, from tomorrow you can go out first from this house. And you are not entitled to receive any more monthly money, you yourself say that you want to live independently. Meaning, you can live your life without the slightest help from mom or dad." If you sell, Riska buy. He presented Kila's words with a serious speech. Kila did not care much about it, however, he was also accustomed to the absence of written parents.

"Okay, thank you very much, Ma, then. After returning home from school tomorrow, Kila immediately left this house to facilitate your work and your wishes. Mama's selfishness too," replied Kila sarcas anyway. He left Riska for his room. Without warning, Kila's tears rolled away instantly.

Riska didn't think twice when she said that. It was all out of his control because it was ignited by the emotion Kila said earlier. He regretted saying that sentence a little. But, he did not pull his words back. He also wanted to see how Kila grew up independent without any financial help from him.
