"Len, when are you coming home, honey?"
The question of Mama Widiya disperse the reverie of Alena. I don't know when her mother-in-law was there.
"Just now, Ma." Clumsy leg.
Alena smiled and hugged Mama Widiya who opened her arms as a gesture of calling her in a hug.
"How, at home?" Alena nodded quickly and made the middle-aged woman smile widely.
"Ma, Aunt Hesty is sick? Sorry, Alena was listening to my mother's conversation on the phone," said Alena who stared at Mama Widiya.
For a moment, Widiya fell silent. But then, he invites Alena to sit on the edge of the bed and starts telling her everything.
"This starts from the accident Hesty who caught Pras cheating. Hesty was shocked to find out that Pras had been playing women behind her back. I don't know why he took the initiative to check with the doctor. And it turns out, it was precisely the deadly disease he got from the results of the examination." Widiya was bowed very deeply while pausing her sentence.
"Ajeng knows?"
Widiya shook her head slowly.
"If it's about his father's affair, Ajeng knows. But when it comes to her mother's illness, she doesn't know."
"Then where's Aunt Hesty now, Ma?"
"Initially it was just an indication of the early stages. Hesty, who did not want anyone to know, chose to go abroad for a trip. Several times he took medication, the doctor declared the disease was gone. Several years of walking, suddenly behind him he felt the same symptoms but more severe. When examined, it turns out that the disease is there again even the final stage. That's why he left Ajeng to Mama. Hesty chose to hide in a hospital while trying to treat her illness." Widiya sobbed, Alena hugged him and let him sob in an embrace.
In her silence, Alena remembered Ajeng. Behind his attitude that is quite annoying, it turns out there are injuries that he hid.

The atmosphere of dinner at the Salim family home is now more cheerful with the presence of Alena. Salim and Widiya chuckle at the words of her daughter-in-law about how Bramasta Corp employees consider her the younger sister of Riky, her own husband. Behind the laughter, there was Ajeng who felt excluded.
The girl was downcast and painstakingly swallowed her food. Alena occasionally glanced at Ajeng. His heart was filled but confused where to start.
After dinner, Ajeng went to his room. He had no interest in gathering let alone laughing with the family.
Meanwhile Widiya is surprised to hear Alena who plans to intern in D city with Riky.
"Kok there anyway, Len. It will also be after your college is finished you will be there. The internship period is also there," said Mama Widiya with a disappointed look.
"Sister Alvin same brother Riky want Alena apprenticed there, Ma. Sorry yeah..."
"Ih, Mama. If today's kids call it 'lebay'. We can meet them every week. They come back here or we go there. Easy right?" salim flat said.
"Ah, Dad. Yesterday was a week away, a lonely house. Especially for months." Delicateness.
"Hmm, Riky should have another sister."
"Yee, Papa. Riky has a new child right," Widiya said as she moved her lips.
"Patience, Ma. It's only a few months away" Salim said with a smile on Alena. His daughter-in-law only replied with the same thing.
Slowly Alena stepped foot into Ajeng's room. Putting an ear on the door leaf hoping to hear something. And sure enough, in silence, Alena heard someone crying.
"Is Ajeng crying?" His inner.
Very quietly, Alena turned the doorknob. I hope the door is not locked. A smile was engraved as his hope was granted, very slowly he pushed open the door of Ajeng's room.
Alena's gaze was immediately fixed on Ajeng's back. Realizing that there was a light coming in from outside his room, Ajeng was stunned and immediately turned towards the door.
Alena came in and closed the door. In the dimness he could see Ajeng's gaze being angry at him. Alena turned on the light, Ajeng came down from his bed with his unsettling gaze.
"Eits, wait. Don't get angry first" Alena asked with a hand that tried to hold Ajeng back from approaching her.
"Heh, belagu loe ya. Loved by this family, just want to go into my room. Loe's satisfied now, huh? If there is a loe, om same aunt will no longer bother me." Delicaciously sharp.
Alena was stunned to hear Ajeng's words. He did not expect Ajeng to behave like that to him.
"What do you mean, Jeng? Okay, I'm sorry for trespassing. But that's because I heard..."
"Get out!" The hardship cuts out Alena's sentence.
"Jeng, I didn't mean to..."
"Get out!" Ajeng forcibly flipped Alena's body and slightly pushed her.
Alena who was getting upset let go of Ajeng's hand which tried to push her towards the door.
"Enough. Okay, I'm out. Just so you know, I wanted to tell you about your sick mother. I don't know why you think so bad about me. I was planning on being friends with you. We live in the same house. But it turns out you're like this, bitch." Reply Alena ketus.
Now it is Ajeng's turn to be stunned. Not because of Alena's chatter, but the two words she had just heard.
"Mama's sick? What does that mean?" Mumbled.
Ajeng looked at the back of Alena who was walking quickly up the stairs. He was confused whether to go after Alena to ask what her cousin's wife was saying.
The night is getting late. His silence began to be felt in a pitch-black night. But the silence was in fact inversely proportional to Ajeng's mood. Until this late, he had not been able to close his eyes.
Every now and then he glanced at the cell phone lying on the nightstand. He wanted to call his mother, but it was too late and did not want to disturb his mother's sleep. But the curiosity is very large, forcing Ajeng out of the room and into Alena's room.
"Mistake myself make me unable to sleep," muttered Ajeng who continued to step towards the second floor of the house.
He slowly knocked on the door of the room. Ajeng does not want what he is doing right now, waking up his sleep and tantenya.
Meanwhile, in the room...
Alena wakes up from sleep because she wants to go to the bathroom. He was stunned to hear the door of his room knock someone. Alena looked at the clock on the wall, and tried to guess who was knocking on her room.
"Hii... Who yeah? Thieves will not excuse me. The ghost will not knock first. Who is dong?" Alena shuddered and hesitated forwarding her steps to the bathroom. The woman chose to rush up again to her bed.
"Len, Alena... It's me Ajeng, open dong." There was a faint sound of someone out there. Stopping Alena who was about to hide behind her blanket.
"Ajengs? Any timing? What's he doing all these nights in my room, does he want to apologize?" muttered Alena was confused. Once again he heard the voice, and finally decided to open the door.
