"Hallo Aunty Dev, how are you? Home in Singapore?” cleona asked as she stroked the back of Devi's hand, then peeked at the woman's cheeks the three children were short.

“Setah Queen, as long as it is beside your Uncle and the kids. But if you can choose, Aunty more choose to stay here deh so that you can collect gini every day like before,” complained Devi a little frown. “But there is also exciting Queen, even Dania aja feel at home living there, because many handsome guys who always come to the house nyari him.”

“But really Dania, Ratu mah boro-boro guy on coming home, in the new school nyapa already hunted at the slash Bang Rapa!” Clara gives delicacy to her older brother who is fond of chatting with Leo, Pandu and Levin, respectively, chatting about school activities to the basketball club at his school where the three men were no longer young was also once part of the team, even Leo had become captain at that time.

“Abang just don't want you to have any pain, Tu.”

“Always that's the reason Brother until now. Not always painful in girls,”

“Well therefore, Tu, Abang do not want you in sickin guy.”

Gathering with the children of friends of both parents was able to make the originally bad mood Cleona again improved and some of his mind was diverted. What else with Devin's babble that continues to tell his excitement with his new friends in the other country.

By late afternoon, Cleona only realized that she had not changed clothes at all, saying retreat to all those in Mother Lyra's house including her parents.

“You Want to ship to Queen?” Rapa stood up, raised her eyebrows at the beautiful girl who later changed the judges.

“Gak!” cleona exclaimed as she passed by, leaving the pouting Rapa in her place and laughed at by everyone who was there.

When she reached the middle room of Rapa's parents' house, Cleona paused her steps, staring at the upper wall, where a large enough frame attached there featuring a photo of Cleona and Rapa who at that time had just graduated from the handsome male Elementary School. Rapa in a black suit, a white shirt and material pants and a red tie was smiling broadly at the camera with her hands coiled around Cleona's waist who was wearing a beautiful red dress, looks so harmonious.

Cleona's small smile came out. But the tears kept flowing. Given that the times made him happy and sad, maybe he had not understood with the intention that was always expressed by his parents, but now Cleona was quite understanding with all that, he said, also understand his own feelings.

Shaking her head a few times, Cleona quickly wiped her tears and continued to step out of Rapa's parents' house towards her house which was right next to her.

Without Cleona noticing since Clara was not far from there and watched the tears that came out of those pretty eyes. Although he did not understand what happened to his best friend, but Clara knew enough that Cleona became like this had something to do with her brother.

“Lo why is Dek?” Rapa's greeting makes Clara surprised instead of playing, like a thief who was caught red-handed.

“Kepo!” he answered as he passed away from the presence of Rapa who raised his eyebrows confused.

Rapa looked around, then spread her shoulders indifferently and passed towards her room which was on the top floor, next to Clara's room whose door had just been closed by the girl.

The night came, Cleona who had just been picked up by Devin approached the others, who were already sitting in the gazebo behind the Rapa family house, all the food was served there including her favorite fried flour squid. With sparkling eyes, Cleona sat in an empty place, without looking right-left, front-back, and back, directly plucking the food and he stored it in his own lap made everyone who was there shake their heads.

“Queen and fried squid are indeed inseparable!” it was Cibir Clara who was right in front of him. Cleona just smiled and devoured her favorite food.

“Pengen deh so fried squid so always in search of lo every no, always quickly achieved when seen, and always lo hug for fear of others take, always,” Rapa whispered softly right in Cleona's ear, making the girl speechless, her chewing stopped and her eyes stared blankly at the plate in her lap.

Cleona got up from her seat, what Rapa said just now made her no longer tasteful to eat, but still she did not leave the fried squid, because in fact the food also participated Cleona brought.

“Loh Queen, where are you going? Not eat?” asked Lyra frowning.

“Queen, no diet-diet play yes, fast eat!” scold Leo who doesn't like his son to miss a meal.

“Ih Papi, Queen not laper! I'll eat it later if I want to." Whine Cleona.

“Queen want to eat alone what brother bribe?” Rapa made a sound, asking in a flat voice that so rarely did the man let out.

Rapa was quite aware of why the girl had suddenly left, of course because of her words, and this was not the first time Cleona had suddenly left to run away from discomfort. Rapa herself was still confused to this day, her heart always wondering what made the girl stay away and as if dodging under any circumstances if it was related to her.

Cleona ignored Rapa's words and walked on, entering the house leaving everyone who was staring at her in surprise. Rapa growled in annoyance and got up from her seat running after the Queen who was already lost behind the kitchen door.

Luna, Lyra looked at each other, as the mother who together raised her child knew enough that there was something between the two children, but here they did not want to interfere, they did not want to interfere, let it be a problem that will lead them to maturity.

“Hell why?” Devi who had noticed asked.

“Aunty habits teen problem." Clara who answered lightly and was taken in by Devi was also the other one.

Cleona, who was consciously followed, immediately stopped her steps, with her mouth still chewing, she turned around and Rapa was right behind her at such a close distance, making Cleona reflex to take a few steps back.

“Why follow?” ask Cleona not to like it.

“Why go? You said you had to eat."

“Who do you riddle gu..”

“Your husband's candidate!” cut Rapa fast, and it succeeded in making Cleona silent, but it was only a while until then Cleona mendelik dislike Rapa's statement.

Cleona turned back her body and continued her steps leaving Rapa without saying anything that made the man growl himself in her place. Rapa walked quickly and pulled Cleona's hand, taking the beautiful girl to the garage and asking her to get in the car.

“Gak! I don't want to go in, why else? My house next door does not need to be anterin use all cars,” Cleona protested.

“Ck. Very lo geer, who would want to bring you home? Get in, Queen!” gemas Rapa stared intently at the woman in front of her.

“Means the answer, where are you going?” Cleona was no less upset, throwing the flour-fried squid she still held onto Rapa's face, making the man surprised to be made.

“Ke KUA!”

“Ngapain to KUA?” astonished Cleona raised her eyebrows next to her.

“Buy pempek!" reply Rapa origin, he was too upset with the girl asked a lot in front of him.
