''Our hands are only two. We cannot shut every mouth that speaks to us. So, we can only use both of our hands to cover both of our ears,''

...•••••••••••...

''The 20th? The 20th is three days away. Eh right? Wait a minute, why would Miss Rossa want to take me too? I'll talk to Miss Rossa later. Let me keep the house here, '' Rena monologue. Then he went back to his unfinished work.

On the other side.....

During the trip Raka just stay still and focus on driving. Sometimes Jenny steals a glance at him. But Raka just ignored it and remained focused on looking out onto the streets.

''Ekhem...'' Raka, can't you open the song? It feels so lonely. Isn't it very boring if it is quiet like this,''

''You turned it on, '' said Raka briefly.

''O Raka, can't we chat as usual? I'm so bored,''

''You can play with your phone. He said you were going to play a song, why not just play a song? Don't bother me if you don't want to go to the hospital injured Raka said. And after that Raka was completely silent until they arrived in front of the hospital, where they worked together.

''Wah mas Raka has come, '' said Mr. Yono the parking attendant who usually helps Raka in parking his car.

''Yes Sir. Oh yes, this is a gift for the father of the mother,''

''Wow, as always. Miss Rossa is so nice. Please convey my gratitude to Miss Rossa ya Mas,''

''Yes sir, '' Raka said with a smile.

''Dry, kampung. It's just nice, '' Jenny muttered. But even though slowly, Raka can still hear Jenny's words.

He just glanced sharply at Jenny then dropped his suitcases and left Jenny just like that who was still standing staring at her departure.

''So annoying. During the silent journey, now left alone. It's so hard to get your heart Raka, '' Jenny grumbled that upset while kicking her car bumper.

''Hey, what are you doing, Jenny?'' Rose said one of Jenny's friends who patted Jenny's shoulder.

Hearing the words of her friend, Jenny immediately changed the expression of her face to be happy and pretended to smile.

''It seems like you managed to get Raka's heart huh,''

''Hehehe. Who was it, Jenny said proudly.

''Great dong then. When is the treaty?''

''Practicability? What treaty?'' Say one of Jenny's friends who came along too.

''That's loh. Jenny and Raka are now dating,''

''Oh yeah? Really Jenny?''

Jenny smiled as she nodded her head.

''But why are you now left alone here and he just left,''

''The government still has business. That's why he left first, Jenny replied in a nervous tone.

''Oh, really?''

''It's Cindy. You don't seem happy to see our friend finally let go of his bachelor,''

''It's not like a rose,''

''La continue? Uh wait a minute. My name is Rose not rose,''

''You are the same. Rose in English, what is her Indonesian? Roses right?''

''Lah already! It's up to you.'' Rose said grumbling in annoyance.

''Most of us all know how Raka is. I can't believe that Jenny is officially Raka's boyfriend Cindy said.

''What the hell are you Cindy. Not cool, very annoying, Jenny said with annoyance and left her two friends.

''Rose dear, you don't know how Raka is. And you also have memorized how Jenny is. Do you think it's possible that they're dating, but they're still acting cold like that?''

''You are right too. But shouldn't we support. Moreover, this is our friend,''

''Here you go, I'm tired.''

''If you are tired, why not rest? Even go to the parking lot,''

''You're the one who pulled me! Said to welcome Jenny,''

''Oh yes, yes..... Hehehe,''

Among the three of them, Cindy _was the one with a normal mind. He neither took Jenny's side nor blamed Jenny. The three of them have been friends since they were Junior High and aspire to become doctors. Then they made their dreams come true together.

Cindy is the type of woman who chooses to see justice. If it is wrong, he will blame it. And if it was true, he would support it as well.

''Without feeling like the day is fast passing. Two days have passed since Raka's departure.

Rena had been trying to talk to Miss Rossa to allow her to stay home, and not to go with Miss Rossa. But Miss Rossa still kekeh so that Rena stay with him.

''Oh Ren, I want to check on my health. What if there's nothing with me on the road? You know for yourself, I'm not young anymore. Later if you need something, there is no one to help if you do not come,''

''But Mom, later if I come along who is guarding Miss Rossa's house?''

''Rena, this house is sturdy with cement and good building materials are also an option. This house is not easily owned by people. After all, this house is not a conch house, so you don't need to take care of it,''

Rena wanted to laugh when she heard Miss Rossa liken her house to a conch house. Sometimes Miss Rossa uses words that Rena thinks are very funny. Like likening his future son-in-law to a bee, and now likening his house to a conch house.

''It's okay mom. I will come, '' said Rena resigned. Because he couldn't argue with her anymore. Think of it as a vacation.

''Good then. Tomorrow we leave early in the morning, Ren. Because in the afternoon we will go straight home,''

''Oh, that means we're not staying over, ma'am?''

''Why ''Why? You want to stay over? If you want to stay, it's okay, Ren. Later I will say with Raka,''

''Ah mother. I follow Mom. Why would you say the same Mas Raka?''

''His house has Raka. So if we say Raka, Raka can clean up some rooms for us first. Uh not for us deng, but for you,''

''Mom....''

''Yes. I won't choose you anymore.''

Rena smiles shyly every time Rossa mums her.

''Mom wants to go first. There's a string of mothers in the compound next door,''

''Oh well ma'am,''

''You take good care of the house, Ren, because later I will go home at night. You don't have to cook for dinner. At most I will go with my friends,''

''Okay, ma'am,''

''Oh yes, later in the afternoon do not forget there is an AC handyman coming,''

''An AC? Is there a broken AC, Mom?''

''Yes, the AC in the guest room seems to be less cold. A few days ago Natasha called Bryan and complained. He said his ac was less cold,''

''Oh, well ma'am. I will remember my mother's message.

''Ok, then I go first Ren,''

''Yes ma'am, be careful,''
