"Mom, know this about Siti! Ma'am, this is Ranti's mom, Love's grandmother!" Rey.

Miss Ranti and Siti also met.

"Oh yes, ma'am, I would like to ask you a favor. I want to leave Mbak Siti at mom's house. Maybe I can help you at the store. If you don't mind!" Bright Rey. Siti just lowered her head, she felt embarrassed already troublesome to others.

"Oh yes, of course you can Rey! There are three rooms in this house, so Siti can occupy one of them!" Reply to Ranti kindly.

"Sorry mom is a hassle. I promise you only a few days!" Said Siti still while looking down.

"No trouble, Siti! I'm alone too." Answer Miss Ranti.

"Thank you mom!" Siti Say.

"Then, let me show you your room! Kid Rey, love us stay first!" Pamit Bu Ranti on Rey and Love.

Siti followed Ranti to her room. "Thank you for accepting me here, Mom!" Siti Say.

"Yes to Siti. Don't worry about mom! It's your room and it's her bathroom!" Show me Ranti's mom. "There is only a mattress, then I will find a wardrobe for you!"

"Don't bother ma'am. My clothes are just a little." Siti said not feeling well.

"Yes already. You want to take a shower? I'll stay first!" Pamit bu Ranti on Siti.

"Yes ma'am." Answer Siti.

After Miss Ranti came out of the room, Siti immediately took a shower. Now Siti sleeps on the edge of the mattress, staring blankly at the ceiling of the room.

Tok tok. . . Siti's room door is knocking. Siti wakes up and opens the door.

"Tante Siti!" Call Love.

Siti kneels to align her position with Love. "What's the matter, baby?" Ask her.

"Love the same papa want to go home. Auntie here same grandma huh!" Light up the little girl.

"Oh yes, dear! Yuk, auntie get to the front!"

Siti and Love then leave the room. Miss Ranti and Rey were chatting on the porch of the house.

"So Lady's been taking a shower?" Ask Ranti.

"Yes mom, that's it."Answer Siti.

"Love the same papa wants to go home!" Light of Ranti's. Siti looked at Rey with a smile. Rey simply replied with a nod.

"We go home first. Moga at home here mbak Siti!" Rey.

"Yes, Rey! Thanks very much!" Siti Say.

Rey and Love leave Ranti's house.

"Sita if you want to rest please! I'm going to the store first! I'll take you to the store tomorrow!" Said Ranti's mom friendly.

"Hmm, yeah mom! Thanks."

After Ranti went to the store, Siti went back to the room.

Here comes Siti now. At the house of a stranger he just met. Luckily, he was met with good people. He remembered his uncle's family. Are they worried about him? Are they looking for him? Ask Siti in your heart.

Azan Maghrib reverberated, Siti immediately fulfilled her obligations. A few minutes later someone knocked on his door.

Tok...

Siti walked towards the door. Kolkata. . .

"Mrs Ranti. . ." Sapa Siti politely.

"Yuk, we'll have dinner first!" Take Ranti's mom.

Siti follows Ranti to the kitchen. Kitchen with dining room. Minimalist kitchen. Small but clean and well-organized.

"Sorry, my mom is really troublesome!" Said Siti while looking down.

"No trouble, Siti! Consider your own home!" Said Ranti's mom friendly. Miss Ranti knows the girl in front of her is having trouble. He remembered his daughter Cyndia.

"Yes ma'am. . ."

"Yuk eat! Do you want to get it?"

"No ma'am! I'll take it myself!" Siti Say.

They also eat in silence.

After eating, Siti helped Miss Ranti clean up the dirty dishes. Then Ranti's mom invited Siti to watch tv in the family room.

"Siti, I'm sorry I just wanted to ask. If you could know where you've been all this time?" Ask Ranti politely. He did not want Siti to be offended by his words.

"I've been living at my uncle's house, ma'am, helping his wife at the rice stall!" Siti Terang.

"Hm. Sorry son Siti, so the granddaughter of the mother told me that she saw when son Siti was angry by the mothers. Sorry if I was too curious. If Siti doesn't want to tell a story, that's okay!"

"Yes ma'am, my aunt, my uncle's wife! I'm wrong mom, eat it auntie to anger!" Siti.

"Ooh so! Whenever Siti wants to tell the same story mom, mom will listen. Don't be sad about mom! If now son Siti is not ready it's okay. Or are you going to sleep now?"

"Hmm, I. . . " Siti was confused where to start the story. "I asked my aunt to marry someone I didn't like Mom! I don't want to!" Siti Terang. His face looks depressed.

"Why was it forced? Then how's your uncle?"

"So quiet shop ma'am, since the person who wants to marry me is not eating anymore in the shop! My uncle disagrees!"

"Hmm, since that guy doesn't eat anymore in the stall, then the stall gets quiet? How can?" Bu Ranti frowned at his forehead.

"Yes mom, I don't know either. If I want to marry him, he promises the stalls will be back crowded."

"Well, that's weird!"

"Yes ma'am. . ." Siti looks sad.

"Yes, you're here just stay with mom. You want to help mom at the store?" Ms. Ranti offered.

"Well, how you want mom! Thank you very much mom!" Siti Seru. So happy she immediately hugged Ranti's mom. Miss Ranti also returned Siti's embrace.

"Hmm, I'm sorry, I. . ." Siti hurriedly let go of her embrace.

"It's okay Siti. Yes, I've stayed first and want to rest. If you want to watch tv please but later do not forget to turn it off!" Pamit bu Ranti's.

"I want to rest, too!" Answer Siti.

"Oh yasudah, we're sleeping!" Take Ranti's mom.

"Sit. . .!" Sapa bu Ranti. "You're awake!"

"Yes mom. What are you cooking, ma'am?" Ask Siti.

"Mom's just gonna make some fried rice, son. The rice last night is still there." Answer Miss Ranti.

Siti also helped Miss Ranti prepare their breakfast. After breakfast, Ranti invites Siti to her shop. The clock shows at six in the morning.

"Let's teach you how to use the cash register so there are no buyers yet!" Said Ranti.

"Yes. . .!" The city is so excited too. Not until five minutes, he had understood what Ranti taught.

When there is a buyer, Ranti immediately told Siti to hold the cash register but still under her supervision. After believing that Siti is capable, Ranti also told Siti to hold the cash register. Siti was so happy and enthusiastic about her new job.
