Kila continued to pay attention to the person she recognized as her papa. Irsyad also watched out for curiosity.

"But really, anyway, are they?" ask Kila while continuing to pay attention. Kila could say that because she saw her father and the woman spoke so loosely threw a smile and a laugh. The way they talk is also somewhat familiar because they look at each other's faces while talking.

"Same mom wasn't like that?" tanya Irsyad responded to Kila's question.

"If you don't know, brother. Brother Irsyad knows for himself that Kila lives with his grandmother. They were Kila's parents, but Kila was never that close to Kila's parents before we decided to live together in one house. It wasn't too close either, mama and papa were rarely at home," Kila replied by staring at Irsyad, distracting briefly from the two people there.

"That's it, huh? I've understood. Sorry I asked and made you remember that time, Kila," Irsyad said. He clasped Kila's hand to make up for his mistake.

"Yes, no papa, brother. Just relax," Kila replied by returning the hand from Irsyad. Then he took it off because he wanted to focus on watching the two people back.

They continued to notice two people there who were eating their own food. Apparently, Kila's father did not apply the concept of silence while eating with the woman. In fact, when one dining table with Kila, Kila was strong enough to tell her family not to have a conversation while eating. The concept of the Irsyad family where more often chat during the meal, never once he told his parents, who knew it was only grandmother. Seeing such a Gilang, made Kila wonder who that special woman could change the habits of the Kila family.

"Kila..., don't you feel uncomfortable doing this? We're like the stalkers who kept watching them. Our conversation also stopped because we were busy taking care of them" said Irsyad who was bored. How not to get bored? They had already paid attention to the two people for half an hour.

"They've been there long enough, too, huh, brother? Even though the food and drink they ordered had run out," Kila's response who also felt tired of paying attention to the intimacy of the two people.

"We're home, huh?" irsyad.

"Don't, dong, brother. There are still other things that we have not done while visiting the mall. The city has only done some, not all. Just go to the bookstore, watch and eat at the restaurant" Kila declined.

"Here you go, another day, huh? We will miss Maghrib if we want to do everything first" Irsyad replied. They do perform Dzuhur and Ashar prayers in the mosque in the mall. More precisely only Irsyad, because monthly guests Kila has not finished visiting. Now, Irsyad could not carry out his maghrib in the musholla anymore. He wants to go to the mosque near Kila's house.

"Yes, deh. Papa's business, later if it has reached home let Kila ask directly to the person," said Kila according. It's also her fault for prioritizing paying attention to her papa as opposed to their dating.

"Alhamdulillah.., let's go home!" irsyad exclaimed excitedly back from his boredom.

"Unm," Kila replied nodding.

They finally came home. Leaving his curiosity with Gilang, and forced to abandon the plan of their dating activities.

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

Just when returning from the mall, Irsyad immediately continued the journey to the mosque near Kila's house. In fact, there is still half an hour before the adzan reverberates. Irsyad spent time in the mosque until Isya was ready to pray.

While at home, there is only one Kila. Until finally Riska came home along with Gilang shortly after the Maghrib adhan reverberated.

"Wa'alaykumussalam" answered both.

"Yes, here. Today my mom and dad are in the same office. So, my mom came with me when she came home. Mom is tired if she has to drive a car. Yes, yes, Kila. Mama wants to pray Maghrib first, continue the unfinished work earlier," Riska replied as she patted Kila's shoulder and returned to the room with Gilang. While Gilang, he did not respond to anything. He often talks to his own son.

"That means since this morning, mom has been with papa's car when he left? Then, did you not know that this afternoon papa came out of the office and headed to the mall?" ask Kila to herself. In his view, Riska and Gilang behaved as usual as well. There is no strangeness between the two.

"Maybe, all papa met was just a client. After all, to a client it must be friendly," said Kila as she walked into her room again.

"But, why do I think that looks too friendly, huh? They were quite familiar for size as a business associate," Kila continued to assume when she got to her room.

"Later if you have met papa, I better ask the clarity directly. If this is the case, it could be that I was wrong and ended up accusing. I also don't want to complain about mama like that time," Kila's inner.

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

Irsyad came home from the mosque. Previously, he also had bought a sweet martabak selling near the mosque. He bought three servings of martabak. One for her in-laws, and two for Kila of course. Irsyad at most only ate one or two pieces of Kila rations. He knew very well that Kila would be deficient if only eating one portion only.

After saying his greetings and entering the room, Irsyad showed off the martabak he was carrying.

"Try seeing! What did I bring?" exciting Irsyad.

"Wah..., Brother Irsyad knows very well that Kila is hungry again," replied Kila enthusiastically.

"You, yeah, get hungry fast. In fact, when at the restaurant was eating you very much," said Irsyad teased because he saw the face of Kila who was impatient to eat martabak.

"I don't know, nih, his stomach does like this, Sis," replied Kila plainly.

"Hahahaha, there's only you, Kila. This is one portion do not spend. You love Mama Riska and Papa Gilang, huh?" said Irsyad while giving a portion first to Kila to be given to Riska or Gilang.

"Not bother to give thanks, brother. They usually do not eat when they enter the room. After all, there was a snack in their room. Even if given, the martabak that brother gave will not be able to eat. So, instead of redundant because stale is not eaten, meningan for Kila aja. There are three portions, right? One serving for Kak Irsyad, and two servings for Kila," Kila explained while separating the martabak portion.

Kila was so cheerful and seemed ordinary to tell the habits of her parents. Hearing that, Irsyad was concerned for Kila. The condition of Kila's house is very inversely proportional to Irsyad's house. Usually Irsyad buy food to be enjoyed together, while creating a warm moment with the family with laughter. But, he knew that it could not be done in the Kila family. So he thought, let it be if you can't enjoy it together by gathering, but at least can enjoy the same meal on the same roof. In fact, from Kila's explanation, it couldn't have happened. This spurred Irsyad to give even more happiness to Kila.
