putting his phone on his right cheek, he stood in front of the kitchen window and
staring blankly into the backyard.

Queen is silent. He refuses to talk to Al. But
she can't blame her husband either. He could no longer call it
workaholics. Crazy guy working. Everything he does is because
a responsibility, which he felt would also not be easy. Anyway, anyway,
what's he lacking all this time. Whenever there is a chance and free time too

While in the middle room, Axel sounded painstakingly

the stars scattered there.
‘You, try to see your son, brother. He grew up to be
a handsome and nice teenager. Exceptionally well. If only you were alive, I'm sure,
you'd be proud of Axel. Hopefully, Adriel will also be a lot of fouling

“No, Dear. You have a mama,” Queen replied.
While Axel just laughed stifled with embarrassment. Because,
many of his new friends who didn't know about him used to think that Al
and Queen is really the biological parents of Axel and Adriel. Including also
Bilqis. So, a lot of people misunderstand. Thought Axel was four brothers.
“Papa don't go home, Ma?” ask Axel.
“No. He was in Bandung. And there's still business in Jogja

This morning Queen was preoccupied with her children. After delivering
Adriel and Berlyn, he immediately took Axel to the boutique, to find a suit
which is appropriate for the graduation event that is just waiting for the day.
“Mama, sorry if I trouble you so much. I should have

“Already, it's my responsibility as your parents and
Adriel's. Unless, if you're at Axel's nagging place. You're here,” Queen replied.
Axel was silent. He can't say anything
any more. Even his mind went everywhere.
“How do I repay their services? Is with

“Oh, no. Axel was just moved by the kindness of mama Queen

“Inyalah, Xel. We took care of you both really

“Yes can teach, Ma. But, funny too, that's so
the lecturer has not yet graduated,” Axel replied with a laugh.
“Long waiting days. Five days, really. No problem,”
said Queen.
After selecting and sorting out a suit for Axel, they decide
to home. Queen wanted to go to the clinic. But, he postponed it later, after Adriel and Berlyn were already at home and were both taking naps.
"We just go home, yes Xel," Queen said after the two were in the car.
Axel turned his head, looking towards Queen with a bit of surprise. 'Why go home?' the inner teenager. "Wouldn't you go to the clinic?" ask the teenager.
"Yes, come on later, Xel. after your sisters get home. Mom, you'll pick them up, okay?" said Queen.
"Yes, Ma." Axel nodded obediently while smiling.
"Oh, yes.Emang you do not have an event, yes, kok mama origin play nitipin aja, anyway?" the Queen suddenly remembered something.
"There's Bilqis, Ma. Yesterday Berlyn said he was coming. Let Axel take them to Alex's house."
"Yes already. Thank you very much, yes Xel," said Queen happily.
