The sun has risen. Yasna also felt calmer, so she decided to return home. On the way home, the woman tried to strengthen her heart and mind. Hopefully he can behave as usual, so that they do not suspect if he hears the talk of Aydin and Emran.
"It's over, ma'am," the taxi driver scolded Yasna for not coming down.
"Oh, yes, sir. Thank you, this is the money."
"There's no change, ma'am."
"It's okay, just make it your father."
"But, is this a lot?"
"It's okay. It's a fortune for your family."
"Thank you, Mom."
"Together."
The motorcycle taxi driver left Yasna standing in front of the fence.
Yasna took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. A sad face, he tried to smile and step his foot into the house.
"Assalamualaik."
"Waalaikumsalam," said Emran who was in the middle room. "Home home, honey?"
"Yes, Mas" Yasna answered by kissing the back of Emran's hand. "I'm going in first, yeah, Mom. Take a shower for a while."
Emran scrunched his forehead. He was astonished by Yasna's slightly strange demeanor and why didn't Yasna ask the whereabouts of the children? He's always looking for them, why not now.
"Papa, did I hear a mother's voice? Is your mom home yet?" ask Afrin who just came out of her room.
"Yes, you just got home. It's still in the bathroom."
Afrin nodded her head. She waited for Yasna in the living room with her papa. They waited long enough. But the woman did not come out. He doesn't usually stay in the room.
"Pa, how old are you?"
"Papa doesn't know either. Let's see Papa for a moment."
"I'm coming along."
"You are, like a child," said Emran. However, Afrin still followed him.
They walked into the room and when they opened the door, Yasna was sleeping.
"Sleep, Pa."
"Yes, maybe you're tired. Already, let it go. Comeon, out. Let the mother rest."
Unbeknownst to them, Yasna is not sleeping. He deliberately avoided coming face to face with Aydin. The woman was too ashamed of the son.

"What are we cooking, Mom?" rani asked as they were preparing dinner.
"We cook-." Yasna's words came to a halt as she recalled Aydin's words. That woman doesn't want to be too powerful in this house.
"What cooking, Mom?" rani asks back because she did not get an answer from Yasna.
"As far as you are, Ran. I don't know what to cook. I'll follow you."
Rani is confused by Yasna's answer. Usually the employer likes to play the menu the most, but why now looks like a confused person?
"I don't know what to cook, Mom."
"As far as you go, cook what you think is good."
"Beat fried chicken only, same sambal. How, Mom?" rani's proposal approved by Yasna.
"Yes, cook that."
This time, cooking was dominated by Rani. Yasna just helped a little. When they are done, they present it on the table. Rani was confused by her employer's attitude.
"Good morning" said Afrin cheerfully.
"Good morning" Yasna said with a smile.
"Good morning, Non Afrin. It's so good today, is there anything?" ask Rani.
"Yes, dong. Monday should be cheerful, so that it is always bright every day."
Emran came out with Aydin. They all enjoyed breakfast talking. Everyone was confused by Yasna's attitude which suddenly became quiet.
"Mother why? It hurt?" ask Afrin.
"Why are you quiet? Did something happen yesterday, when you met your partner?"
"No, everything's fine" Yasna replied lying. He himself did not know, how Nayla met with his relationship. Either the girl can handle it or not.
"Come, we're leaving, Dek! Brother had to finish the job yesterday, which should be reported today."
"Yes, brother. Where's my mother stocking me?"
"You want to bring supplies? Bentar, yes, Mommy told Rani to provide it."
"Why should Rani? Why isn't the Mother waiting?"
"You want to be caught with Mother? Mom, grab the box first." Yasna immediately stood up to prepare provisions for Afrin.
All of Yasna's movements were observed by the three people who were at the dining table. They looked at each other as if to ask, what's wrong with Yasna?
"This is your supply, dear." Yasna said by giving Afrin food box.
"Thank you, Mother. I'm the same brother left, yeah."
"Yes, be careful."
"I'm also leaving, honey," said Emran by kissing Yasna's forehead.
"Yes, I'm also careful not to speed."
They all set out to leave Yasna alone at the door, with various thoughts in her head.
"Sister, you feel like there's something weird, don't you? Same Mother." Afrin asked Aydin on the way to school.
"Yes, you also feel that there is something strange about you, but you don't know what's going on."
"What's going on, huh, brother? Is it possible that Sister Nayla returned the money, because she was offended by the words of her sister? Or maybe his cooperation with the person you met yesterday failed?"
Afrin tried to figure out what was the cause of her mother being strange. Aydin also thought about that possibility.
"Sister doesn't know. Brother also wanted to meet the woman and ask what had happened."
"That Woman? Who ... Brother Nayla?"
"Who else if it wasn't her, you just went with her."
"So don't suudzon first, later it becomes a problem again. I don't want you to do anything like yesterday. The words of that big brother have already hurt Brother Nayla."
"Yes, sister, you know. Brother also wants to apologize about yesterday," said Aydin who did not want to be blamed.
"Really, yeah! Watch out for a lie!"
"Yes, yes."
They finally arrived at school. Afrin went down and said goodbye to her brother. Just a few steps he walked, someone approached him, trying to take his heart.
"Hey, Afrin. Are you still being taken with your sister? Not that everyone knows, yeah, who are you?" ask that person who is none other than Ihsan.
"Why indeed? I'd rather be delivered with my sister. I also feel safe if with my brother, no crocodile male would dare to bother me," Afrin replied as well as insinuating, but apparently the man was insensitive.
"That means you haven't dated, dong?"
"Not yet and I never intended to have a boyfriend. I just wanted to finish my school and make my parents proud" Afrin said with confidence.
"You didn't bring a vehicle, did you? Later after school, I'll drop you off, okay?"
"no need. There is Pah Hari to pick up. Thank you for the offer," declined Afrin. He also did not want to look for trouble with Ihsan's girlfriend. After all the girl was not interested in crocodiles like this man beside her.
"Hi, Frin," said the new Vira.
"Hi, where are Sisca and Nuri?"
"If Sisca is sick so, she doesn't come in. If Nuri's in the back again parking my car."
Things like this are not Afrin sekai from Vira. He seemed to make his friend as a maid, which he could order as he wished.
Previously Afrin had reprimanded him and he just agreed without changing.
