Alex got out of the house holding Hendra. Now Alex is starting to feel the weight of holding his youngest child. Hendra is growing healthy and BB is normal. The longer the bigger and make Alex achy.

The father of three chose to stand on the terrace. Seeing Andra and Indra riding in the car followed by Didit sir. Sometimes Alex steals a look at Eliana's house. Closed formula. Slender.

But wonder. Alex feels something is different now. He began to realize that the complex was once quiet. It is now heavily inhabited. Alex finds Rosa's mom in Kapha Yoga in her yard. As well as seeing fat mba who was washing the car.

Alex's eyes didn't escape the blink. Whatisit? Fat girl washing the car?. Alex's imagination reacted. It was as if seeing a large pink sponge cleaning automatically the car. Yeah! that's it, fat mba. Alex flickered and shook his head. Hoping for his imagination to fade to see the reality in front of him.

Alex went into the house. After opening the door and a step before entering he had a look to the right of Tuti's house. In case someone is drying clothes. However, the clothesline is empty. He continued by entering the house.

As usual, without getting bored Alex refocused to take care of Hendra. While alone like that, Hendra got full affection without the interference of his brothers.

An unpleasant smell came out from behind Hendra's pants. Quickly Alex checked. Hendra CHAPTER. Hendra was immediately taken to the toilet for cleaning.

Dong! Alex's house bell rang. But Alex hasn't finished taking care of his son in the toilet. He quickly cleaned up. Open the closet and put Hendra's pants on. It took quite a long time, apparently.

Until finished putting Hendra pants. The bell still rings. After it was done, Alex carried on his arm and opened the door immediately. There's no one there. Alex wondered in his heart. But he didn't care and went back in.

Alex puts Hendra in the living room. Her son sat on a soft carpet. Equipped with a game of scattered hotwheels. Hendra is playing alone now. Alex stood up and headed for the kitchen. Go get Hendra a snack.

Arriving in the kitchen she opened her kitchen set. The brown-colored wooden cabinet was unlocked. All he's collecting on the kitchen table with UHT milk boxes for Hendra. Suddenly Alex felt thirsty, immediately she opened the refrigerator door. Before opening the refrigerator door. He read his college schedule. Find the date next to the refrigerator. Alex counting the days.

“Two more days ospek.” schedule

Alex said to heart. Alex returned to accompany Hendra to play with healthy snacks made. However, his mind divided. Thinking that he can't join the UI ospek as he sees on Youtube. Can't do. With a peasant hat, alma mater and all the trinkets ospek terms. How come? Where's he gonna put Hendra?.

Alex wants to take Hendra to college. No one can take care of him. Can't also with the condition of ospek like a madman. So, Alex decided not to join ospek. However, in his acceptance letter it is written that ospek must be followed. Instantly his brain was mummified.

Dong!

The doorbell rang again. Alex came out the door without taking Hendra.

“Iya what's wrong sir?”

Alex politely rebukes his guests. He found a tall black man. Sweet-faced with dimpled lesum on both cheeks. Soon the man hugged Alex happily.

“Alex, for Christ's sake. How are you bli?.”

Said the man happy. Alex is silent. There was no sign that he knew the man.

“Alex? It's me Abipraya!”

Alex was surprised. He's the one hugging now.

“Astaghfirullah. Sorry Abi I didn't recognize you. You're so sweet now. And more black. Your skin used to be yellow.”

Alex smiled broadly now. I didn't think he'd meet his best friend. Soon Alex told him to come in and sit in the living room.

“That black is me now Alex?”

Canda Abipraya's. Alex smiled and nodded.

“That's your son Hendra? Ih already big it turns out.”

Abipraya pointed at Hendra. Alex was surprised again.

“Eh know that it's my son?.”

Ask Alex wonder.

“Alex, you are a celebrity. It's easy to know your personal business. You know, I even bought a house here. Because you know you're here. I just bought a house close to my best friend's house.”

Abipraya is now served hot tea.

“Bir no lex?”

“No Abi, here I only live with my children. So I don't brew beer at home.”

While scratching Alex's neck tried to explain.

“I see... if so we order via ojek online only.”

Abipraya quickly picked up a flat object in his pants pocket.

“Ja.don't I'm full. Anyway my stomach is feeling bad.”

Prevent Alex. Looks like Alex found out that his friend didn't know that Alex was a convert.

“Oh okay. Next time, then.”

Back Abipraya returned his HP to the pants pocket.

“What are you doing in Jakarta Abipraya?.”

Alex asked. He knew very well that Abipraya was not the type of person to wander around.

“Oh that, after my parents retired. I inherited quite a lot of inheritance. From the gift shop to their funiture business. Now I'm spreading my company wings here. I opened a branch of bali furniture in Depok area here.”

Abipraya is at length. But this time Abipraya realized something. He glanced around. There's a lot of Arabic writing on Alex's wall.

“Oh as it seems. Are you going to stay here?.”

Ask Alex again. Alex looked at Abipraya's fingers. There's no ring there. Abi has not been answered, Alex again asked.

“Are you married Abipraya?.”

Abipraya laughed out loud.

“Hahaha.. You still haven't changed Alex. Still you're the old Alex, who's full of curiosity.”

Abipraya drank his tea. Then continue. Alex is waiting for an answer.

“Yes I'm not married Alex. I want to enjoy my youth first. And it's true I'll stay in Jakarta as long as my business isn't done yet. When I finish setting up a new branch here I can go back to Bali.”

Sahut Abipraya who now raises his eyebrows.

“Alex where's your wife?”

Abipraya. Which girl could conquer her friend. In the old school days, when other friends started dating. Alex is still cuey.

“My wife.”

One word came out of Alex's mouth. Then he couldn't continue it anymore. Abipraya stood up, surprised. His eyes were fixed on the picture of Alex's family right in front of him.

“Alex! Is that really Nindi?.”

Kaluar Balinese accent on Abipraya speech. Alex nodded. Now Abi began to understand with all the Arabic writing that was attached to the wall. Alex converted to Islam like his uncle. He knew very well that his uncle was a devout Muslim.

Abipraya glanced at Alex. Alex understood and nodded again.

“Iya now I am a Muslim Abi.”

Alex said down. Not shy but avoiding the face of the shock of Abipraya.

“So now Nindi and my uncle where?”

Alex began to tell her life history. Bernostlagia with Abipraya, his old friend.
