"Where are you from, Fir?" Ummi's Firda asked in a very upset tone to her daughter when the princess came with a grown man.

"So playing with Ciu Ciu, continued in the middle of the road to meet Om Gabriel who was lost did not know the way home... Eh, kok even become singing" said Firda grinning that increasingly makes her mother's annoyance peaked, while Gabriel can only hold back amused laughter see Firda's behavior that makes her mother rise in blood.

"If tomorrow you say again, Ummi roasted your Ciu Ciu" upset the mother again.

"Ummi, know this Om Gabriel. Om, this is Ummi Firda. Her name is Aisyah, just call her sister Aisyah" said Frida ignoring her previous remarks Aisya.

"Hello.." said Gabriel stiffly.

"Assalamualaikum, how are you, son Gabriel?" asked Aisyah in a friendly tone. Opening up Gabriel's tense facial muscles before he squeezed.

"Waalaikum greetings, I am good, Sister Ayesha" Gabriel replied following Firda's orders to call a brother to Aisha.

"Call me Auntie, Gabriel. I am old enough to call my sister if you are still very young" said Aisyah then who made Gabriel to smile. Then Firda who has a height only limited to Gabriel's chest looked up to see Gabriel's face well.

"Yes, still looking young" Firda said very seriously which made Gabriel's smile expand wider "Oh yes, Ummi. Om Gabriel wants to come to the market, he lives alone in Uncle Mansur's house there" Firda said while referring to the back "So his word Om Gabriel wants to shop for groceries, om Gabriel has not memorized the road in this village. He was lost"

"Oh so, yes already. We go to the market together, Gabriel boy can use the bike Mas Farhan's husband, Auntie's husband"

"Yes, thank you, Aunt" said Gabriel.

Aisyah went inside the house to retrieve her motorcycle keys, while Firda went inside to take Ciu Ciu into her room. While Gabriel notices the house and neighborhood that look different from the homes of other residents. The house was much larger with a larger neighborhood, there were some buildings nearby and there were many children and adults there. Gabriel believes it's a school.

"Why?" Gabriel gasped in shock at Firda's voice that arrived, "Why did Om wander here and there, find who?" ask Firda and he also joined the affair here and there. Gabriel noticed Firda who had apparently changed into a wide black dress and used an ash-coloured sling bag.

"Not looking for anyone, it's just like his here school yes" said Gabriel.

"Oh yes, this is called Madrasah, Om" cried Firda.

"Our family?"

"Yes"

"What are you talking about?" ask Aisyah who has now also come "Sorry yes, son Gabriel. It was a key to the skid, so it's still in search"

"I'm sorry I was such a hassle" Gabriel said and he received the key that Aisyah gave him.

"What the hell, Gabriel boy. If you need anything, just come here, don't hesitate"

"Yes, Thank you"

Then the three people went to the market using a motorcycle, the day had begun to day and the sun had begun to feel hot. Gabriel even felt his skin burning, this was the first time he used a motorcycle during the day and even then just to go to the market.

Gabriel always uses a car during this time, sometimes he uses a motorcycle only if needed as when chasing with the enemy. It was not a small and light motorcycle like the one he was riding at the moment, matic again.

"Fir, Ummi see you're close to Gabriel's son. Don't get too close, Fir. Not good" cried Aisyah who is still focused on driving.

"Near what, Ummi? This has only been met three times, but every time I met Om Gabriel was always in trouble and Firda helped. Then he became familiar"

"What's the problem?"

"Then, during Maryam's wedding, Firda helped Om Gabriel who fell on the toilet. Just keep nolongin because he tripped and got lost"

"Oh, but how can you say he fell in the toilet? Did you enter the men's toilet wrong?"

"Well, she's in the ladies' room. Kasian, Ummi. Her stomach was wound up and bleeding"

As soon as Aisyah fell silent in wonder, it felt impossible for anyone to fall on the toilet and have a wound on the stomach instead of on the head what else fell her in the female toilet, how could it be?

Aisyah tried not to bother about it, she thought maybe Firda who forgot where the wound was at that time and it could be Firda was wrong to enter the toilet.

Arriving at the market, Aisyah predicted her motorcycle as well as Gabriel.

Gabriel who saw the traditional market was again stunned, hot, crowded, dusty and smelly. But he tried to hold all that.

"Don't Gabriel buy anything?" asked Aisyah again and Gabriel shook his head slowly "You are a man, how do you understand the kitchen needs? Can you cook?" ask Aisha again.

"Yes" Gabriel replied because he could cook. Of course, being able to cook is part of surviving. And living in a dark world like Gabriel forced him to do everything.

"Yes" Gabriel replied briefly.

"Om Gabriel, oh Om Gabriel." cried Firda who began to grieve because Gabriel was still irritating.

"What the hell, Fir?" aisyah Tegur.

"Once more Om Gabriel was very stingy with his voice, Ummi"

"Firdas... You can't do that!" Aisyah reprimanded more firmly, while Gabriel just chuckled.

"Actually I'm not a stingy voice, it's just that I don't know what to talk about. And I really like it because Firda keeps talking" said Gabriel who made Firda smile widely.

Aisyah brought Gabriel to buy garlic, ginger, turmeric and other kitchen spices. At first Gabriel was a little uncomfortable and stiff, he never shopped at a place like this, but when he saw Firda who also chatted with the seller made Gabriel even again feel happy.

"A cheap boy, Bi? The price's down?" ask Firda while peeking at the onions that have been inserted into the plastic.

"Still the same, Neng" replied the seller.

"But why is Ummi so much in love?" firda asked while the seller only smiled. Because he knew who Aisha and Firda were, and it was customary for them to give more to Aisha. While Aisyah just smiled, because she also knew she was also always given more.

After buying everything she needed, Aisyah paid the seller with more money "His return, Neng Aisyah" said the seller.

"The return is for the mother's grandchild only" exclaimed Aisyah who made the seller smile embarrassed but also happy.

"It's yours..." Aisyah gave Gabriel a plastic bag containing kitchen spices.

"Thank you, the money?" Gabriel took the wallet out of his pocket.

"No need, son" Aisyah replied and Gabriel simply smiled.

"His form was indeed born of a very kind and sincere woman" Gabriel's heart murmured as he glanced at Firda who was walking beside him while Aisyah walked in front of him.

"Now we buy fish yes" said Aisyah.

"Yes, I like fish. Love it, it tastes good what else if it's roasted" replied Gabriel tried not to talk irately again. But it even made Aisyah and Firda laugh amusedly, because the tone of Gabriel's speech was like a child's joy. It made Gabriel smile with embarrassment.

How else would you like? He is indeed the type of person who is economical to talk, of course when trying to talk a lot he even looks funny.

"Well, Auntie will bake fish for you. This afternoon you have lunch at home only" Aisyah said and Gabriel nodded many times.

Gabriel and Aisyah also choose fresh fish that they will roast "Fir, hold this.." exclaimed Aisyah while thrusting her plastic groceries back, but no one responded. And when he looked, he did not find Firda behind him.

"Where's that one kid?" asked Gabriel Aisyah, they both spread their views and found Firda who was buying meat pentol "Astagfirullah" muttered Aisyah withholding annoyance, this is not the first time Firda has disappeared every time he is invited to the market. Firda who looks like he has finished buying pentols also immediately approached Gabriel and Aisyah with two small plastics containing pentols that have been mixed with sausage.

"This, Om. Firda bought it for Om" exclaimed Firda while thrusting plastic containing the pentol and complete there is a stab there. While Gabriel was gawking, he did not know what Firda was eating and he was very reluctant to eat it.

"No, thank you, Firda" Gabriel said.

"It's delicious, Om. Try first..." Firda stabbed one pentol with the bamboo prick and thrust it into Gabriel's mouth "Come, aaaa.." cried Firda and inevitably Gabriel opened his mouth, take the pentol and start chewing it. And immediately he nodded his head nod, a sign he enjoyed the food that had just been fed Firda.

"He's feeding me?"

"Nake?" firda and Gabriel asked with a big smile. Firda chuckled, then returned to give one small plastic containing the pentol and this time Gabriel instantly received it.

Aisyah who noticed it began to feel concern for her daughter who could not keep her attitude in front of anyone.

"We continue shopping" said Aisyah.

They also continue to shop for various items, even very complete. Gabriel, a Mafia Don who is so disinclined, feared and respected now has to carry plastic containing fish, chicken and beef in the traditional market, even in the hot sun.

Realizing that, Gabriel held an amused smile.

What's more is that he feels very close to Firda, making Gabriel feel something different about him. Where before him he could never be close to anyone.

What happened to his life?
