Four days passed, after the last time Wulan visited Safa and Marwah in the hospital. Wulan went back to her days as usual.


The shop also went on as usual. Mini cafe dr. Dessert has also received a new employee named Yuli, so Wiwit and Desi can focus on taking care of customers who come to buy cakes.


But there was something different, that afternoon the small customers Safa and Marwah came happily to bring a guest who surprised Wulan.


" Aunty Wulaaaan??" called Safa at the cashier's desk.


Wulan who was in focus noted that was distracted by her focus on Safa's voice. And he was surprised to see Safa standing looking at him.


" Safa???" welcome the surprised Wulan.


Marwah also approached Wulan by holding the hand of a middle-aged woman.


" Aunty??" hello Marwah said hello.


And Wulan was surprised when he saw Warwah and dr. Evan together. Wulan reflexively approached dr. Evan then shakes the hands of dr. Evan..


" Wulan healthy?" asked dr. Evan friendly.


Wulan/"ah, my healthy mother, healthy mother??" said awkwardly.


Marwah/"we who invited eyang here aunt, eyang also want to buy cake aunt again" he explained.


Dr's mother. Evan/"are you busy??"


Wulan/"ah, not mom, this hour is usually a bit quiet customer" he said while looking at the condition of the surrounding store.


"hhhmm, would you like some tea?? if you don't mind??"he hesitated


Dr's mother. Evan/"ah, good bye"


Wulan/"let's mom over here" he said as he led the safa marwah to follow him to the door of the cafe mini dr. Desserts.


Dr's mother. Evan looks happy to be hosted friendly by wulan. He followed the wulan towards the table on the side of the corner of the cafe which looks 4 seats there.


Wulan/"mom want some white tea?? or ginger tea??"


Dr's mother. Evan/"hhmm I just want a warm ginger tea"reply friendly


Wulan nodded and called out to yuli, and she ordered as mother dr. Evan.


Wulan/"safa marwah want what???"


Safa/"we again can not drink the strange first said papa, so we are just plain water aunty"


Wulan/"ooh, kasian yaa"


Marwah/"no papa aunt, we're used to it, if it's past the usual 1 week papa permit us to eat again as long as it's not seafood"


Dr's mother. Evan/"wulan, the usual thing if the children are recovering, evan will be very strict about food"


Wulan/"ah, I see, oh do you want some honey cake??"


Dr's mother. Evan/"oh okay"


Wulan/"once mother, I take the cake" he said as he passed to the premium cake.


Safa/"how's eyang?? aunt wulan is good, right??"


Wulan returned with her honey cake and some small cakes in the box.


Wulan/"this is the mother, the cake and this is for the safa marwah" he said as he put the cake in front of both.


Safa and marwah stared in turn. They hesitate to eat the cake box given by wulan.


Safa/"tante, can I borrow the phone?"


Wulan without asking, he immediately took his phone from behind the pocket apron (celemek) which brawled dr. Dessert and give the phone to the safa. Safa seriously squeezed the phone no papa and it was stored in the wulan mobile phone, then he put it into the ear.


dr. Evan/"hall!! wulan??"


Safa/"papaaah?? hehehhe" his laughter shrunk. Evan turned out to be his son who called.


dr. Evan/"safa??" still confused.


Safa/"papa?? safa can't eat dessert box aunt wulan can't??"


dr. Evan/"hhmm, may the princess, as long as she sends greetings to aunt wulannyaa"


Safa/"oke"he said smiling and disconnected the communication while returning the phone owned by Wulan.


Dr's mother. Evan/"what did papa say??"


Safa/" said papa may but papa send greetings to auntie" he said innocently and now grabbed the dessert box with enthusiasm.


Wulan who was awkward because the one on the phone was her papa. And now wulan became misbehaved because he did not think safa would deliver a message from his father directly to him and in front of dr. Evan.


Wulan could only laugh wryly, her heart felt bad for dr. Evan was listening to that. She was afraid of dr. Evan misinterpreted the greeting.


Dr's mother. Evan/"you're good at cake, huh?? been long??"


Wulan/"ah, not also mother, yes not too long ago cake business was pioneered" he said humbled.


Dr's mother. Evan/"rarely now women who like things like this, women now prefer to work behind a desk and of course dress up" he said, cutting the honey cake and feeding it into the mouth.


Wulan/"hhhmmm, I see, maybe because I can only make cakes ma'am, other knowledge I do not exist" he said again.


Dr's mother. Evan/"can you cook too??"


Wulan was a little surprised by dr.'s mother's question. Evan.


Wulan/"hhmm how ya ma'am, wulan is not smart to cook" he said doubtfully


Moments later dr. Evan chuckled, looking at the wulan with warm eyes.


Dr's mother. Evan/"wow, so you're the opposite of me huh??? I can't even make a cake, even though I've been on the course but still failed" he said, still trying to hold back a laugh.


Wulan/"huh?? seriously mom?? wulan thinks something weird can make a cake but can't cook??" he said that now accustomed to the chat dr. Evan.


And he looked towards the marwah who was a little bit of a straw eating his dessert which made his lips turn brown. With the wulan berlahan pull the tissue and help marwah to wipe his mouth.


Dr's mother. Evan looked happily, it turned out that the wulan was indeed so attentive to his two grandchildren.


The warm chatter lasted a long time, without them noticing.
