"Ehem! It's exciting, what are you talking about?" asked David who suddenly stood in front of them with a questionable gaze that made them embarrassed to answer what.
"There's nothing important that we're talking about" Rendy replied.
David seemed to land his body on a long sofa, coinciding with Aretha who served drinks and snacks for the three guests.
"Lho, where did you train, honey?" david asked, why should his wife treat their guests, even though there is a housekeeper who can do it.
"Bi Ratih was busy cooking for lunch. Later we will have lunch together, yes" said Aretha while inviting her three guests to lunch at her house, because it happened to be lunch time is only one hour away. "Please drink!" he then approached David and sat down next to the man.
"Thank you, Re," said Clara.
They also seem to talk about various things. There's nothing important they're talking about. Just talking about their children. Although Richard did not have children, but he often responded to their discussion. He asked a lot about the growth of the twins which actually made David even more surprised by the behavior of his best friend who he thought was very suspicious.
"What about your college, Re?" asked Richard who suddenly shifted the subject.
Aretha pulled both corners of her lips into a smile. "Alhamdulillah my lectures are good. It just so happens that we are working on a thesis. Please pray from you so that I can graduate this year" replied Aretha.
Yes, after two years of giving birth, the husband has indeed fulfilled his promise by giving permission to the woman to continue her S2 study. Moreover, because his papi asked Aretha to immediately be able to manage the company that will be handed down to him in full.
"Thank God, good luck, Re" said Clara.
"Thank you, Ma'am," replied Aretha.
On the one hand, Aretha was happy to be able to resume her education. However, on the other hand he also felt bothered by his new busyness. How not? At that young age, he had to take care of his twin children, plus had to split time for college. He could not imagine, how later when he had actually managed his papi company. Whether he would be able to divide his time well or not, that would obviously be a new challenge for him.
"Goddessa ... Mama ...." Zelline's whimper broke in the room, causing those who were chatting crisply to instantly turn their attention to the source of the sound.
From a distance Zelline seemed to be walking towards them while closing one eye with a sobbing sound that seemed unstoppable.
"Zelline baby, what's wrong with you, son?" Aretha immediately approached the little girl, because the distance was indeed the closest compared to Clara. He held onto Zelline's arms. However, Zelline simply replied with her sobs.
Clara soon approached her daughter. "What's wrong with you, honey?" tanyanya while looking at the face of her little daughter.
"Ar-Arka, Ma ...," replied Zelline.
"Congratulations?" aretha. "What did he do to you, son?" tanyanya. Again Zelline replied with a sobbing.
"Arka disturbin Zelline again play, Ma. Earlier the doll was taken the same Ark," reported Aruna who suddenly appeared there.
"Geez, Arka ... The boy is always nosy!" gerutu Aretha.
"Arka ..," called David who had been watching them.
"Already, already, let it go. His name is also children" said Clara did not want to extend the affair. "Here, dear," he added, holding his daughter and taking her to her place.
"Arka ...," call David again.
"Already, Dave, let it go," said Rendy who did not want to see Arka diomeli papa just because of trivial problems.
"Later will be habit if always left," replied David did not care.
"They're still kids, Dave," Rendy replied. However, David did not pay attention.
Rendy let out a rough breath. He didn't want to worry about it at all, but David still did.
"Aruna, here the same om," called Richard to Aruna who suddenly made David complain for a moment. However, David did not want to care too much, because at that time he was still waiting for Arka to come to face him.
"City ...." Again David called his son in a slightly high tone. At that time he had put on his serious face.
"Mas," interrupted Aretha who did not want if David scolded his son.
"Yes, Pa," said Arka who suddenly came to them.
Aretha immediately grabbed her son, while David seemed to look at him a little sharply, so that Arka looked down—did not look back at his papa.
"Darling, it's the same mom." Aretha immediately carried her son. Aretha understood very well the fear of Arka at that time. Aretha moved on, then sat back down on the sofa, right next to David. He sat Arkana on his lap.
Arkana was still lowered, even more so when she realized that her papa was still staring at her sharply.
"Arka," call David down. However, Arka was still unmoved. "Sheard no, papa call Arka?" david asked in a soft tone.
Arka nodded and still did not dare to look at her papa.
"Arka, look at papa," David's pinta.
Doubtfully, Arka looked up, then looked at her papa with a hint of fear.
David, who noticed it, immediately smiled, trying not to make his son feel afraid. "Arka need not be afraid, papa is not angry, really," he said. "Papa just wanted to ask, is it true what your sister said, son?" tanyanya.
"Yes, Pa," Arkana replied nodding. "Arka was just a fad, not intending to make Zelline cry," she later admitted.
"Come, Honey. You apologize first" said Aretha.
"Okay, Pa, Ma" replied Arka. With doubt he came down from the lap of his mother, then walked up to Zelline who was sitting on Clara's lap.
Clara seemed to greet Arka with a smile, although Arka still did not say anything. Rendy did the same.
"Zelline, Arka apologized yes," said Arka while pointing her pinky finger in front of Zelline, making the little girl immediately stop her sobs.
"Come, darling .. sorryin dong," whispered Rendy to her daughter.
Instead of accepting Arka's apology, the little girl looked at her mother instead.
"Sorry, Honey. Good children should forgive each other. You're a good kid, aren't you?" clara said while advising her daughter.
Hearing the advice of the mother made Zelline immediately realize it. The little girl immediately raised her little finger, then connected it with Arka's little finger. "I'm sorry," he said, but with a slightly sullen expression.
"Good kids" said Rendy, smiling to see the two boys make up.
"Have dong, honey, his face don't pout like that" teased Clara while laughing lightly, then pinched her daughter's cheeks in a fit of anxiety.
"Sickness, Ma ...," whined Zelline.
Clara grabbed her daughter's body. "Oh yes, yes, sorry mama yes, dear," he said.
Arka who was still standing near them, seemed to pay attention to Zelline who had a spoiled attitude that was almost the same as her twin sister.
"Arka, come here, sit here like o'm" called Rendy as she patted her lap. However, Arka just shook her head, then immediately approached her mother and father again.
The boy is indeed very difficult to approach, in contrast to Aruna who can be familiar with anyone, especially with Richard.
Quickly, David grabbed his son's body, then sat Arka in his lap. "Well, so dong ... it's just a boy's name," he said to Arka. However, his son did not respond to anything.

"Darling, what about the kids, are they asleep?" david asked, as Aretha had just climbed into bed, and lay down beside her, after a few minutes the woman examined her two fallen asleep in their room.
"Already, Mas. They were seen sleeping soundly, "Aretha replied as she pulled the blanket over her body.
"Thank God" said David, then tilted his sleeping position to face Aretha, and vice versa. "You tired?" her question was then while staring at the pair of brown beads before her.
"I'm quite tired today" said Aretha who then changed her sleeping position to be supine. He looked at the ceiling of his room as if he was thinking.
"What if you're already working?" david looked at his wife.
It is undeniable that he also still feels hesitant to give his wife permission to work. For some reason, there were so many worries in his mind. And he was confused as to what the worry was.
"Come on," briefed Aretha.
They were silent for a moment. David was still looking at the face of the wife who was still facing the ceiling of his room.
"You're not sleepy?" david asked, after some looked at the wife who still had not closed her eyes.
"Not yet, Mas," replied Aretha.
"It's night. Come on, let's go to sleep!" take David.
"I'm not sleepy yet" rejected Aretha who responded with a long sigh.
"Mas ...," says Aretha.
"Why?"
"Why, lately I've always thought of papi" said Aretha.
David smiled, then said, "Maybe it's because you're missing, it's been a few days since I met papi.
"Yes, maybe. Papi was too busy, so I found it hard to meet him" Aretha replied with a sad expression. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to cry when he remembered his papi. "I'm worried about his health, Mas. I'm afraid papi doesn't care about his health, because he's too busy with work" he added anxiously.
David smiled again. He knew very well the worries of his wife at that time. In fact, he felt the same way, always thinking of his father-in-law.
"Tomorrow we will stay at the house of the papi," said David as he smiled his smile. He thought it would make his wife feel very happy.
As fast as lightning Aretha immediately turned to look at David. "Really, Mas?" tanyanya.
"Sure," David answered briefly.
Aretha smiled happily. "Thank you, Mom" he said.
"Well, let's go to sleep!" take David.
