"Sorry, is this really Cahya's mother's residence?"
This morning Cahya who was opening the door was surprised by the arrival of two strangers with bags of clothes in each hand. A woman and a man about forty years old. Cahya's forehead frowned because she did not know who they were.
"It's true sir, Ma'am ... Sorry you-you're who? And what's the need?"
The man smiled and lowered his head. "Include Mom, I am Kasim and this is my wife Asih. We are prospective domestic assistants and security at Ms. Cahya's house. Yesterday, Mr. Awan contacted us by phone."
"Oh ... You guys have come? Come inside!" the clouds were suddenly at the front door.
They entered the living room area and began to sit on the sofa. Cahya also landed her butt next to the Clouds.
"So this is Ay, the security and housekeeping assistant I've been preparing to work here. They're neighbors one of the employees in the office who came from Temanggung."
Before being attacked by excessive curiosity in the end Cahya got the answer. It turned out that these two people were prospective domestic assistants and security at his home.
"I'm sorry to know, Kasim sir and Bu Asih, how old are they?"
"My husband and I are forty years old. For experience, Bu Cahya does not need to worry because before working here, my husband and I have worked for many years in Jakarta," Asih said.
"Why did Mom and Dad choose to stop?"
Eunuch just smiled knot. "Actually we've been out of work for three years. We decided to rest at home. But the body that is accustomed to work then suddenly does not work so it feels so stiff. So we chose to work again. Coincidentally yesterday there was an offer to work here, so we took the offer."
"Lantas, do Mom and Dad have kids?"
"Mommy's Punya. Our son is only one and now he works abroad to be TKW."
Cahya paid close attention to these two people. Although they have entered the head of four, it seems like their physical condition still looks healthy and fit.
"All right, Mr. Kasim. I want you and Mom to work here. For Bu Asih focus on housework only yes. Cooking, sweeping, mopping, washing. For the needs of Mother-in-law, let me take care of myself. Then for Mr. Kasim later can help Bu Asih as well."
"Good Mom. We'll work fine."
The clouds are smiling. "Hopefully their existence can make the burden of your work reduced, Ay. And their existence can also enliven this house so that you do not feel lonely if I live in Semarang."
Cahya could only nod her head. Everything has been decided by the Cloud, so he can only obey.
"May Mas. Although there are already friends, if your work in Semarang is not too busy, you can go home immediately without having to be bound by the day."
"Yes Ay. If it's not too busy, I'll definitely go home."
"Dad let's go! Today I'm taking you to school, right?" malika started to fill the living room area. Malika and her sister are ready for their sports uniforms.
"Dear, today I'm going to take you and pick you up."
"Bun, who is this? Early in the morning like this have you been visiting?"
Not too enthusiastic about the father who will take her to school, Alina instead focuses on the existence of Kasim and Asih.
"I'm Mr. Kasim and this is Bik Asih, Non Beautiful. We'll work here."
"Work here? Means Kasim sir and Asih bik stay here?"
"Yes Non, we'll stay here."
"Gee.... Asyiikka. So this house is getting crowded because there are Kasim sir and make Asih."
Seeing the face of the princess sparkling, also made Cahya smile widely. The face that these days often refracts a disappointed hue because the father who often reneges on promises, now seems to come back again.
"Yes Mother, Alina is happy."
"Alright, if Alina is happy, Alina should always respect Kasim sir and make Asih yes. Consider them Alina's grandparents. Okay?"
"Okay Mother."
The clouds that heard the babbling of his eldest daughter could only grimace. He felt that he had been beaten up by this little girl since yesterday. The clouds try to ignore it. He thought that this indifferent attitude of Alina was a natural thing that was revealed by a child because he felt disappointed.
"Yes, let's go!" invite the Clouds who do not want to speculate too much about the attitude of the princess. He got up from his seat and stood at the door.
"Come on Yah!" reply Malika full of joy.
The clouds smiled knot. Instantly in his mind came a pretty brilliant idea.
"Come Daddy's fat. Adek in the front and sister in the back, just like before!"
"Gee .... Well, want, want!!" shouted Malika as she drew closer to the Clouds with her arms spread out.
The clouds grabbed Malika's body to carry her into a sling. The man crouched down, intending to allow Alina to climb onto his back.
"Come on, Brother, get on Daddy's back!"
Alina glanced at the face of the clouds. "Alina just walk. Don't wanna be carried."
Alina said as she breezed away to get to the car that was parked in the yard. This attitude of Alin is what makes the Cloud and Cahya even more flabbergasted without believing.

Mega looks busy applying cosmetics on the face. After last night his heart fought to when he was in his hometown, finally the woman decided to go home today. The three-day plan he will spend the night in his house is finally lost with the sense of wanting to return to Jogja soon.
"Son, you really want to go home today?"
Lastri who was standing in the doorway of the room still wanted to make sure of his son's intentions. He was not satisfied to let go of longing with Mega who was just at home last night. The middle-aged woman still wanted to see the face and hugged the body of the child.
"Yes Mom, I'm going home today. I don't feel at home for long here" Mega replied while applying eyeshadow.
"The land here is your birthplace. Why don't you feel at home, son? Moreover, I am still not satisfied to meet you. Or at least you wait until you get home first, son? Usually on the Sunday after payday he comes home?"
Lastri has not given up. He still persuaded Mega that his son would abandon his intention to go home today. Hoping that Mega would listen and grant his request.
"No Ma'am. My decision is round. I'm going home today." Mega got up from her sitting position. He took an envelope from the bag. He handed the chocolate envelope to Lastri. "It's money for the daily needs of Mom and Dad."
Lastri received this chocolate envelope that felt so thick. He opened it and he saw the inside. Both eyes of this middle-aged woman were wide and perfectly rounded. His lips were gaping wide when he saw that there was a number of twenty million inside this brown envelope.
"Son, this is a lot."
Mega smiled thinly while shrugging both of her shoulders. "Yes, my salary working in the city is a lot, so I don't need to be surprised like that. Oh yes, tell your father to stop being a construction worker. Every month I would send money for my daily needs and to rehabilitate this house."
"What's? Rehabitating house?" peekik Lastri was in disbelief. "What is your salary in town? Until I can send money to rehab the house?" pula.
Mega chuckles softly. Being the mistress of a big boss of an expedition company would definitely make her life turn eighty degrees. He can ask for anything including rehabbing a house in the village.
"That's it, I don't need to know. Anyway I want this house to be rehabilitated to be the most luxurious house in this village!"
