Mala had been awake from her sleep since noon. He saw a wall clock that showed at 7 p.m.
"Your mom's gone home yet?" mala thought.
Mala came out of her room and looked for her parents.
"Mama!"
"Father!"
Several times the call of Mala no one answered.
"Bi Inem!" call Mala to the kitchen.
"Yes, what's wrong?" asked Bi Inem who was washing dishes in the sink.
"Well, are you home yet?" ask Mala.
"Not yet non, the same Mrs nitip message said they will not go home tonight"
"Oh, is that bi? yaudah"
"Non, what do you want aunt Masakin to do for dinner?" ask Bi Inem.
Mala was silent for a moment, suddenly a plan flashed in his head.
"No need bi, I want to find meatballs outside" Mala replied.
"You want auntie buyin?"
"Don't be bi, I can be alone"
"Just so"
Mala returned to her room and put on Hoodie. Then he got out of the house and went to the meatballs who usually hang out in front of Rakha's house.
"Which meat is one!" mala.
"Well neng, eat here or in packs?"
"Eat here" Mala replied. He sat in the available chair.
"This is the meatball" said the man gave Mala's order.
"Thank you mang"
Mala ate her meatballs while occasionally wobbly looking at the house in front of her. The house looks magnificent, but unfortunately like there is no life in it, deserted.
"You want to find the guy who was that time?" ask the meatballs all of a sudden.
"E-nothing to mang" Mala replied clumsyly.
"I've noticed that I've seen that house all the time"
"No mang, I'm just amazed the house is good?"
"Yes, the house is nice. But, dear ones rarely come home"
"How could you know?"
"Yes, at that time I was chatting with the same mas who was riding the bike yesterday. Eh don't know he told me that his papa rarely came home, sometimes up to a week less to go home. And that mas is also rare at home, he often nginep in his cement house"
"Oh that's mang, where is the mother?"
"He said his mother died a month ago, before they moved here"
"Oh that mang, pity also yes mang" Mala replied sadly.
"His name also lives when he likes his pain"
"Yes mang"
Mala finished eating her meatballs. He saw his watch which was already 8 nights. He paid for the meatballs in his message as well as thanking you because it had been nemenin Mala chat during meatballs.
All the way home, Mala's mind kept on Rakha. Mala is very empathetic towards Rakha. He is not inexhaustible with the life of Rakha who is all-sufficient he still lacks the attention and affection of his parents.
Arriving at Mala's house was welcomed by Bi Inem.
"Non, why did you just come home? previously wanted to susulin aunt afraid of nothing, worried non aunt" said Bi Inem in front of the house with his crazy face.
"Sorry to make my aunt anxious"
"No papa non"
"If so Mala to the room first yes, want a bi break"
"None good"
Mala immediately headed to her room and lay down.
"Things count as a thank you because he has nolongin me several times" he said monologue with himself.

The next morning Mala woke up early. He went straight to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Rakha.
"What kind of breakfast? I can't cook" Mala scratched her head.
"Non, what's in the kitchen early in the morning?" asked Bi Inem suddenly. That thing made Mala shocked.
"Jeez bi, just ngagetin"
"Sorry non"
"Why in the kitchen?" ask Bi Inem.
"I want to make food" Mala replied.
"What can't cook?"
"E-not the bi, that's why I'm confused what to cook?" kekeh Mala while scratching his head.
"Let the aunt masakin? what do you want?"
"Fried rice is bi"
"Already, it's better not to shower now. Get ready for school. It's late!"
"Yes bi, Mala get ready first huh"
"Yes"
Mala went to her room and prepared to go to school. After finishing Mala down and eat the bread and milk that Bi Inem has prepared.
"Non is the provision" said Bi Inem.
"Yes, thank you"
"Sama-sama non, who the hell is non for? I think it's so special to wake up so early?" ask Bi Inem curious.
"Auntie kepo deh" kekeh Mala. He ran out of the house leaving Bi Inem and along with that the sound of Rakha's motorbike was heard from the front of the house.
"Eh already nyampe aja" said Mala was surprised by Rakha who was already in front of the house.
"Yes, let's go! you're ready, right?" ask Rakha.
"Yes" replied Mala.
"Wait for what else? climb on!" take Rakha, because Mala is still in her place.
"Eh, yes" somehow when dealing with Rakha Mala's tone was always clumsy.
Before riding Rakha's motorbike, Mala recalled that she brought provisions for Rakha.
"Oh yes, Rakha!" call Mala.
"Why?"
"It's for you" Mala said giving a box of supplies to Rakha.
"Employed? you think I'm an elementary school kid who's going to school with a stock" Rakha said.
Hearing that, instantly the look on Mala's face turned moody.
"Oh so you don't want to? yaudah deh" Mala replied that she wanted to pull out her hand that held the supply box.
Rakha was aware that her words offended Mala. He held Mala's hand.
"Wait a minute!" Rakha.
"Say I don't want to?" mala's reply sounded sniffy.
"I said that does not mean I don't want to yes, I want to" Rakha replied taking the lunch box from Mala's hand.
"I must have finished" Rakha said with a big smile. Seeing that Mala also smiled. He is happy that his good intentions can be accepted by Rakha.
"Udah, let's go up! it will be late" said Rakha again reminded.
"Yes" Mala riding Rakha's motorbike. Along the way the two were busy with their respective minds. Mala who keeps smiling because of the provisions he made for Rakha in his reception. Yes even though that is what makes bi Inem, but it does not matter what the intention is. Meanwhile, Rakha, he was afraid that his words would offend Mala. Although Mala no longer looks moody anymore and has started to smile but still it becomes a burden on the mind for Rakha.
"Hopefully even not touch the same as my speech earlier" said Rakha.
"May Rakha like the same provision" the inner Mala.
Don't forget the likes and comens...
