In the afternoon Arselo still did not come home, he was still standing on the street where he met the children this afternoon. Arselo was curious about the parents of the children, so he intended to wait on the road that was passed by the children. But unfortunately, when the night began to say hello he did not see the children, Arselo decided to go home Arsela.
"Lho bang, how come the clock just came home?"
"It's okay, just deliberately going home lately"
"Oh, there's a lot more to do"
"Well, everyone who works here is satisfying"
"Hmmmm, great"
"Bring in first, are you cooking?"
"Don't cook, just help the baby"
"How do we eat? Brother is laper"
"So I told Dina to buy cooked food at Yuyun's shop, is that okay?
"Oh, it's okay. I'm gonna take a shower first"
"OK"
Arselo left Arsela who was still struggling with drugs and medical devices that he took from a special room in his house to a special building where patients came to seek treatment.

This afternoon when he was coming home, his children asked to take a rice slug for them, which will be cooked tomorrow. So Safira, Dayyan, and Raiyan went home by going through the rice field town one by one to arrive at the rice fields close to home without having to pass the road first.
"Oh my God, Fir, the children get dirty as soon as the clothes" said ni Eti who saw Dayyan and Raiyan filled with mud.
"Hehehe, exclaim this. We played the war first" said Raiyan.
"I'm in the mud with Raiyan, he started first" Dayyan
"Udah-alah, you will quickly shower later to the Maghrib" said ni Eti.
"Here take off your clothes, let me bathe you both" Safira told her children.
"Don't want mama, I want to take a bath alone" Dayyan refused.
"Me too" cried Raiyan.
"Ish, you guys. Yes, let's hurry Brother first" proposes this Eti.
"Yes, here take off his clothes let mama wash out there" Safira said while pointing to a large stone on the edge of the fish pond.
There is no bathroom in this house Eti, there is only a fish pond that is attached****, whereas if you want to throw away h***big they must go to the public WC which is near the mosque which is about fifty meters from the Eti ni house.
After the magrib, as usual they will pray together, the children will teach at the mushola. When they came home they had just eaten together.
Safira has also taught reading and writing to his children, even children easily absorb the knowledge that Safira teaches even they can be invited to interact using English. Sapphira felt lucky the intelligence of her children was above the others, although it was still below the standard of genius but they were quite smart.
"Ma, when are we going home?" qirani asked suddenly as she was drawing.
Sapphira who heard Qirani's question was unable to answer anything, she looked at her sad son "Qiran who is patient, later if the time is right, surely Qiran will meet papa" saffira rubbed Qirani's head slowly.
"But when is ma? Don't you think we're the same?" this time it was Raiyan who asked.
"Maybe papa kangen, but because of one thing, so papa can not reveal the taste of the kangennya" replied Safira.
"But ma"
"Dear, is it? Tomorrow you will want to come to the same garden Nin, later if you guys bad luck wake up even not so invited you know" said Safira interrupts Raiyan's speech.
Dayyan who understood the position of her mother immediately brought her sisters into the room. Sapphira knew very well what her son was going to say, so she immediately told them to sleep. He had not been able to tell the truth because his children were still too small, so he was only able to divert the conversation as it is today.
Safira also remembered that afternoon Raiyan said that his El om was like Dayyan.
The flashback
"But ma, om El it looks like Abang Day" said Raiyan.
"Like Brother Day?" ask Safira.
"Yes ma, his eyes are similar to ours, only his hair is dark brown and does not have dimples" he explained again.
"Is this really Day?" ask Safira on Dayyan.
Dayyan who was asked just shrugged his shoulders indifferently "I don't know ma, I don't care" Dayyan replied indifferently.
"Akh is just a similar person maybe Rai" said Safira finally denied Raiyan's words.
"Oh that's it ma" said Raiyan slowly.
Flashback off
Sapphira actually felt afraid that it was true, because even though she briefly knew the name of that person, that person had already destroyed her hopes and future. The one who forced him faced the condemnation and scathing talk of people.
Safira still remembers everything that happened almost six years ago, all the bad memories are still recorded clearly in his brain, the hateful gaze of his two friends, the painful words that the man said, he said, as well as the fact that she must accept that she is also pregnant with the boy.
Sapphira could only take a deep breath to dampen all her anger, she did not want to get out of control, what else she was in front of her three children. He just wants the children to see it is fine, he does not want the children to hate him because he is unable to present the figure of papah for them. Given all that, Safira could only cry by herself.
"Fir, are you all right?" ask this Eti who just came out of the room to grab a drink.
"Fira is fine, Fira is okay" he replied, wiping his tears quickly.
Ni Eti, who saw Sapphira, approached her and hugged her. Sapphira who had been embraced by Eti was not able to hold back her tears anymore, she wept shedding all the burden that was on her shoulders on this Eti. While Eti did not say anything, he just rubbed softly on Safira's back.
"No, mama cried again" said Dayyan.
"It's because I asked about papa" said Qirani slowly.
"I'm sorry bang, I promise I won't say anything more about papa" Raiyan said.
"Already, don't apologize to Brother. But apologize tomorrow with mom" Dayyan said to her sisters. They had not slept even though Safira had told him, actually Dayyan was about to go out of the room to invite his mother to rest together, but he paled when he saw his mother was crying in the arms of Eti.

Tonight Arselo could not close his eyes, his heart was restless. He had called Sofyan to ask Vivi but Sofyan said there was no problem, he also contacted his mother and the answer was the same, they were fine. Why is his heart not so bad.
Arsela also has not returned home, because she had to accompany one of the pregnant women who had to be referred to the hospital in the city. He had to be in that house alone.
"Akh bosen really, which from earlier was not happy, can not sleep as well" Arselo told him. Finally he sat on his bed with his head leaning against the couch.
Her memory floated about Rumini's remarks earlier this afternoon saying that Dayyan and Raiyan were very similar to her.
"Could they be my kids?"
