Raka & Alya
Chapter 16
Mira put again the gift containing the diamond, she was about to ask her husband when he came home from work. Now he's looking for a gift from Alya, because the boy whines to get his card open.
After finding Mira bring the gift out, then open it in front of Raka and Alya. Raka had already begun to hold back her laughter, as her Mom started to open the wrapping of gifts from Alya.
"Well, here I help," said Raka.
"Can't! it must be Mamah Mira herself who is open," said Alya.
"I'm afraid Mamah fainted from seeing the contents of her card" Raka said mocking Alya.
"Raka, you're in napa! this is a gift for Mamah, not for you," said Alya began to rent.
The gift from Alya finally opened as well, Raka laughed out loud while Alya pursed her lips. Mira smiles at the gift from Alya, coincidentally the skillet used for cooking is burnt.
"Thank you, baby. It just so happens that the pan in the kitchen is empty, you know what Mamah needs," said Mira while looking at the pan.
"Raka, that's look! a frying pan from me is of use to Mamah," said Alya still pursing his lips.
"It's funny anyway" Raka said as she ruffled Alya's hair.
"Raka, stop it, baby! alya's hair was a mess" Mira said softly.
Mira then invites her children to eat, after completion she will tell to rest first because later in the afternoon they will be invited to the orchard near the house.

Aldo recalled an old woman who was accidentally hit by water on the street near his house as it passed by, but he did not know who.
"As if I've seen this man, but where," he said in his heart.
He became unfocused to work, thinking only of the person earlier. Lina came to bring some files into her room, thus making her aware of the daydream.
"Sir, this is the file you asked for" Lina said, handing over the file she brought to Aldo.
"Okay, Lina. Thank you," said Aldo, received the file and read it.
Lina turned out to continue her work again, but Aldo asked her to make coffee for him. Lina immediately made the coffee that Aldo asked for, not too sweet and a little bitter like his life which for many years was still a widower.
"May Mira like the diamond I sent, even though she did not know that I bought it for her." he said softly.
Aldo smiled remembering his love story with Mira, although he could not have but his love for Mira still stuck in his heart. No matter how strong the taste is removed but still appears, that is the love Aldo has for Mira.
His age is no longer a barrier to having a genuine love for the woman he loves, just because of one mistake he lost everything, Mira.
Lisa's name that for approximately two years accompanied him so easily he forgot, even when still with Lisa his love for Mira never faded.
Only his mouth said that he could forget Mira, but in his heart it was not easy to get rid of.
Lina who finished making coffee then gave it to Aldo, he immediately came out because he saw Aldo who seemed to be thinking about something. "Mira must be what the boss thinks" he said in his heart. Then continue the work because it must be completed today as well.

Mira invites Susi to go to the orchard near the house, coincidentally, it is currently mango fruit season. They have brought plastic bags to bring the fruit later, the orchard belongs to all residents who live in the complex.
Alya is the frontmost road because he is very excited to climb trees. The male Raka only loses when it comes to climbing trees.
"Alya, wait for us! don't hurry the way" Susi said.
"The hunter has been eaten by Mah's ants. Alya first," he said then continued his net.
Raka and Mira smile at Alya's sometimes annoying behavior like a child.
After arriving at the place where Alya directly climbed the tree to the top, he picked a ripe and large fruit.
"Raka, let's go up!" alya shouted from the top of the tree.
"Wait for me to go upstairs" Raka said, then climbed up the tree.
"You guys be careful, yeah" said Mira who looked down.
Mira and Susi waited for her son who was climbing a mango tree, the tree was not too high so they allowed his son to go up.
"Raka, you pick up there dong," said Alya whose pockets were full.
"You go there" said Raka, picking fruit.
"That's my fruit, Raka! you pick up over there why," said Alya started looking for a commotion.
Raka did not chim in Alya's words, because she was used to Alya's attitude like that. Raka came down from the tree first, he just picked a little because if too much would not run out.
Alya had trouble bringing her fruit down from the tree, because the plastic bag she was carrying was already full. It just so happened that Susi had also told Alya to come down from the mango tree.
"Alya, let's go home," Susi asked in a rather loud voice.
"Weight, Mah!" shout Alya.
"Raka, you help Alya get down first" Mira said slowly.
"Leave it, Mah. Later it can also go down by itself," replied Raka then laughed as her head looked up to see Alya could not come down from the tree.
Raka then climbs the tree again, to help Alya bring her mangoes down.
"Eatya so people do not get greedy, this is the result can not go down right," said Raka then asked Alya plastic bag that has not been filled.
Raka divided the fruit into two bags, then he brought one bag to bring down from the tree. Alya still had time to tell Raka not to take her fruit, so that made Alya angry by Susi.
"Other times if you please say thank you, not even nagging that," Susi said with annoyance.
"No papa, Susi. Raka doesn't mind either" Mira said.
"Don't keep Alya dong, Mira. The boy had a big head" Susi said.
Alya then hugs Mira, she while saying that Mira is the best Mama.
The four of them then went home with mangoes, which were in plastic bags.
"Alya, be careful later if not eaten," said Susi.
Arriving in front of Mira's house, they were surprised to see a woman knocking on the door.
"Who is that woman?" asked Susi who was also shocked when she saw that person.
"I don't know, let's go see you," Mira asked.
