In the afternoon Syifa and her mother shop for the needs at the boarding house and also the equipment to make cakes. For the ingredients Rosa chose not to buy it first. Because it is not certain when he can start selling again. He has not rented a place to sell it.
While at the supermarket, Syifa and her mother accidentally met with aunt Merry, a friend of Rosa who also sells at the wholesale center of cloth while shopping at the supermarket.
From the meeting, Merry said that until now the stall of Fatimah's grandmother remained empty. Though in it there are still many scrolls of cloth relics belonging to Fatimah's grandmother. It was a pity because his nephew was not managing well.
"Back selling more cookies, Ros. It is easy if you sell food you live rent a stall in the middle specifically for the food court! Tomorrow I'll help you tell Mr. Dodi, please!" seloroh Merry who intends to help ask for a rental permit to the building manager.
"Thank you, Mer!" rosa said with a smile.
"Berez! What's your phone number?" tanyakanya.
Then they exchanged numbers.
......................
At night, it turned out that the hostel was quite crowded. At the very end of the room seemed to be occupied by a teenage boy. There were several boys seen coming in and out of the room. Then at night the sound of guitar passages accompanied by chants of songs was heard from the direction of the room.
Next to his room, it seemed to be inhabited by a small family. There was the sound of a small child who occasionally whined whether to ask what to his parents.
"Ma, it's crowded here, huh?" syifa said while sitting in front of a window that showed the atmosphere outside his boarding room.
"Yes, Fa. Also called a boarding place. In one room there are only a few people, multiplied by the number of rooms here how many? must be very crowded and diverse May the people be nice and not strange!" said Rosa while cleaning her clothes and put them in the closet.
"Yes, Ma. Syifa hope we can stay here!" abugn.
"Mama's tired, Fa. Mama's gonna take a break, okay?" rosa said after finishing a few. He then put his body on the bed.
The boarding room consists of one mattress with a large enough size that is quite comfortable if used to sleep two people. There is a bathroom inside. There is also a two-door closet and there is still a little space left.
Syifa deliberately looking for a bathroom in the room. He is afraid of what is not expected if he shares a bathroom with other hostess residents. Not because of the matter of the queue, he was already used to queuing time at the cottage. But he was worried that someone was doing naughty because there were residents of his boarding house.
Syifa was just about to get out of her seat when a phone call came in from her papa. He immediately picked up the phone.
"Hallo, Pa!" Syifa.
"Syifa, Rosita said you're going to XX city. You guys are okay, right?" ask Edward.
"Me and my mom are fine, Pa. What is Papa's problem with Papa's wife?" ask Syifa to know.
"He's not going home yet. I haven't been able to talk him home yet" Edward said, sounding bitter.
"Papa, tell Papa's wife ... Syifa and Mama will settle in this city. We will not be harassing your family anymore. Syifa hopes that your family will return to full and harmonious," continued Syifa.
"You said what Syifa! Papa's problem is caused by Papa's own fault, you are not at all wrong. I don't want to see you suffer anymore. Come home Syifa, Papa will solve Papa's problems without making you suffer!" Edward's voice rang out.
"Syifa and mama would rather be here, Pa. This is Syifa's birthplace, and it is Syifa's will to return to this city. Trust me if Syifa and mama will be fine living here, Pa. Syifa will not forget Papa's kindness and until whenever Papa remains Papa Syifa."
Across the phone looks quiet. Perhaps his father was digesting the word Syifa.
"Pa, let me know as soon as possible if Papa has made up with Papa's family. That would make Syifa proud to have Papa in charge of her family. Syifa wants to sleep first, Pa. Papa should also go to sleep immediately, remember to always maintain Papa's health!" syifa.
"Alright, Papa will follow your words. Papa is very proud of the greatness of your heart. Please let Papa know if you need help!"
"Definitely, Pa. Good night, Pa!"
"Good night, sweetie!"
Connection disconnected.
Syifa put her phone on the nightstand, then also lay down beside her mother.
......................
The next morning Syifa and her mother came to Nafisa's house to help prepare for Nafisa's wedding ceremony which will be held tomorrow. Umm Syarifah was very happy to see Syifa and Rosa return to this city.
He asked Rosa to make Ontbijtkoek cake that will be used as a treat for guests and also his handmade fruit.
Rosa welcomed her first order with joy. He was helped by his brother ummi Syarifah to buy ingredients to make cakes. Because they have a lot to buy considering the amount they will make quite a lot.
"Syifa, please accompany Nafisa to the boutique to try on her wedding dress. Ummi was unable to accompany Nafisa to the boutique because there was still much to prepare!" ummi Syarifah.
"Okay, Ummi!" syifa said obediently.
Syifa and Nafisa also immediately went to the boutique that had been entrusted by the ummi Sharifah to prepare Nafisa's wedding dress that they will wear tomorrow. Not to forget they also invited Antika to participate.
......................
Arriving at the boutique, they greeted a middle-aged woman with a friendly smile.
"Assalamualaikum, Aunt Habibah!" nafisa said while crucifying the beautiful Arab woman.
"Vaalaikumussalam. You're finally here, too, darling. Aunty's clothes have been made since two days ago, you know!" habibah.
"Sorry, Aunt. Yesterday was busy. Oh yeah, this is Nafisa's best friend, Auntie!" nafisa introduced Syifa and Antika. They immediately killed Habibah.
"God, how beautiful you are. Comein! Aunty also has a large collection of nice dresses for bridesmaids, baby!" habibah said kindly.
Syifa simply gulped at the sight of the beautiful gamis before her. It is impossible to buy beautiful clothes in this boutique. Although he currently still holds money from his father, but he prefers to save money to buy the necessities of life with his mother.
