It did not take long Mandala had arrived at the towering high building with 10 floors. Mandala parked the car and walked to the main door of her office. The two guards who were on guard gave a salute to Mandala. Entering the spacious room like a badminton court all employees greeted with respect.

Mandala entered her private elevator while her fingers played the tab. Arrive on the top floor. Mandala came out directly into her room. Putting himself in his great chair took the file in front of him.

A knocking sound was heard as the secretary came to see him. Provides some important files to sign for projects in Makassar. Before signing Mandala examined it in detail fearing there will be flaws or mistakes.

It seems enough to check Mandala also signed and then handed the file to his secretary named Ridwan. Ridwan is a 35 year old man. He has been a secretary for Mandala for 10 years.

Ridwan is a hardworking, diligent, polite, disciplined, and also single of course. Ridwan has a handsome face stature, a sharp nose, and mature brown skin.

Mandala strongly believes everything is done by Ridwan even believes fully. So also Ridwan is very familiar with the attitude of Mandala. Even the problem that Mandala often faces he knows.

When Ridwan held the algae the door was about to come out. Mandala called him back.

"Wait, Ridwan." stop Mandala.

"Yes sir." said Ridwan.

Ridwan turned his body to follow the direction Mandala's hand allowed to sit in front of him. Ridwan sat down and listened to what Mandala would talk about.

"May I find out with this girl" while showing a picture of a girl.

"This is who the master is." asked Ridwan frowned looking at a picture of a girl then turned to Mandala.

"That's a photo of my son's friend named Ismalia. You find out his background, whether family or daily activities. Because I don't want the past to happen again because my son chose a friend wrong." explained Mandala.

"Good sir. I'll find out about this girl."

"alright. If you get any info, tell me."

"Ready sir. If so, excuse me sir" said Ridwan again while standing from his seat and then out of the room. Mandala just nodded her head as a sign of letting Ridwan out.

The time has come for all the students to rest, including Erika, Ismalia, Rio and Rehan. Tania today did not go to school because she was sick stomach because last night she ate a lot of rujak. They ordered food as usual, meatballs and iced tea.

"is....After school, I went to your house. I haven't seen my mom and the others for a long time" Erika said, inserting a meatball into her.

Rio and Rehan did not listen to their conversation in front of him. Rio was very solemnly enjoying a bowl of meatballs which was very tasty. While Rehan sipped the meatball sauce next to him shifted the phone screen.

"Follow it, mother must have taken you home." replied Ismalia.

"But I was piggybacked the same lo ya. I want to know how to be piggybacked with you. Can ya?" erika Pinta.

"But you will be very heavy if you fall later. You're wearing a car."

"I want to be the same as you. Point!" force Erika.

"It's up to you" said Ismalia Nyerah.

Feels the meatballs in the bowl are gone no longer. Back to the sound of the classroom bell.

After school, Erika actually joined Ismalia home on a bicycle. Erika was piggybacked by Ismalia slightly out of balance due to the slight weight. Erika had already contacted her father that she was going to Ismalia's house.

About 45 minutes they had entered a narrow alley into the Ismalian residence. Ismalia knocked on the door saying hello.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

"Allalama, Buk. Ismalia came home." said her greeting while shouting.

There were footsteps and opened the door to none other than Mother Mastiara.

"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Already home ....." his words were cut off because he saw Ismalia coming home with Erika.

Looking next to Ismalia stands "Eh. Erika is there too. Please come in." let me in.

"Yes, buk." said Erika.

"Is..you're like a rachor all over." asked Mother Mastiara in surprise.

"That's a lot, ma'am. Boncengin the Erika. Wish to frown. Where heavy again." said Ismalia glanced at Erika with narrowed eyes.

"I don't know that hard. I often jog every Sunday." said Erika does not accept.

"But the truth is you are heavy. You don't understand, but I do." replied Ismalia Ketus.

"No." said Erika did not accept.

"Weight." Ismalia does not want to lose.

"No."

"Weight."

Mother Mastiara laughed at the behavior of the two of them while shaking her head.

"Have you guys this trivial matter just make a fuss. You guys took a shower over there and we had lunch. I want to continue cooking first." said Mother Mastiara left the two of them to the kitchen.

"He's buk." said Erika to the mother Mastiara.

"Kok being me anyway." Ismalia did not accept.

"Kan lo yang's.... " Say Erika was restrained because she was cut off by Mother Mastiara.

"Not quarrel. You guys get in there and take a shower soon."

"Yes buk." said in unison.

Ismalia went straight in with Erika into the room with a pouting face. Erika came in and dropped herself on the bed, closing her eyes. Ismalia walks into the closet and opens it and picks up a change of clothes for her and Erika.

"Now change of clothes for you. You take a shower first. I'm gonna lie down for a second and say tired."

Erika had already memorized the ins and outs of Ismalia's house because she had been to the house here several times. Before long Erika had finished her bath in casual clothes. Now it's Ismalia's turn to take a bath.

Erika took the time to perform the prayer of Zuhr. When it was finished Erika immediately put on her headscarf towards the kitchen to see the activities of Mother Mastiara cooking. Ismalia's father is not cooking at home this time.

"Eh son Erika. Have you finished your shower?" ask Mother Mastiara.

"Can. You can't cook."

Erika just laughed chuckling "Hehe. can't cook water doang."

Mother Mastiara shook her head

"Yes, you helped peel the onions just as sliced vegetables. Mother who ngulek the spice."

"What do you want to cook."

"Chicken stew, vegetable capcai, spicy tamarind of catfish, and the same sambel terasi."

"Wahh. I know Rika likes chicken stews."

"Your favorite is the same as being a mom who is very memorized."

"Sometimes Erika asks to be made in chicken stew again can ya buk." pinta Erika.

"Can. Tell me the same mother later mother madein. Let Is take you to your house."

"OKAY. Thanks ya buk." said Erika happy while hugging the waist of Mother Mastiara.

"Yes alike. I've continued the peel."

"Yes buk."

Ismalia who had finished bathing and praying followed Erika in the kitchen. Sounded excited and engrossed in chatting while slicing and cooking.

"Heboh bener's. Sampe was heard in the room. Speaking of anything." Ask Ismalia kepo.

"Kepo. Want to know." said Erika.

"Yes, let's say you know what else is talking about me." said Ismalia.

"Yes, I also say hello to you. Quietness." answered Erika.

"You guys can't be no fuss. Is, quickly help Erika slice her vegetables. I'll be home soon."

"The twins mana buk. I don't look at it." asked Erika.

"The twins again play with their friends most immediately go home" said Mother Mastiara while sauteing stew seasoning.

Smelled of sauteed stew. The sound of footsteps ran towards the kitchen while saying greetings. Yeah, that's the twins' move out of play.

"Assalamualaik." Say the twins simultaneously.

"Wa'alaikumussalam." said Mother Mastiara.

Approaching the mother kissed the hand and the older sister then to Erika who was slicing an onion with flickering eyes.

"Eh....There's brother Erika. It's been a long time since my sister." asked the twins.

"The old service has been 1 hour." replied Erika.

"Yet. We take a shower." said the twins to the mother.

Mother Mastiara's words were cut off as the twins ran towards their bedroom then scrambled to the bathroom.

"Sana shower.... Uh, don't scramble, replace." Shouted Mother Mastiara.

Mastiara's mother just shook her head at the twins' behavior.

Long enough struggling in the kitchen finally all the food is ready to stay just serve it on the dining table. Erika and Ismalia helped to put and organize food and drinks.

Then the father of Ismalia came home from their restaurant which also brought more cuisine. Hand over the plastic bag to Ismalia and take it to the kitchen to serve it in bowls and plates.

While heading to the kitchen, Ismalia's father was shocked to see Erika who was with his wife washing the used cook earlier.

"Eh. There's Erika. Has it been a long time, son?" ask Ismalia's father.

"Lumayan lama well. How is the restaurant. Rame no?"

"Alhamdulillah good rame but not as fun at that time."

Then he turned to asking his wife.

"Oh yeah which twins buk." asked the husband to Mother Mastiara.

"There's a bath in his room."

"If so, I'll shower first. After that we eat together."

Without authorization. My father entered the bathroom. At the dinner table was gathered Mother Mastiara, Erika, Ismalia and the Twins were waiting for the arrival of the father to chat and joke.

Before long the father came to shift the chair to sit down. Mastiara's mother helped her husband pick up rice and side dishes. While others take their own according to their respective tastes.

Their lunch was very peaceful and quiet. There was no sound of the clangs of the spoons clashing as they ate by hand. For him using the hand eating it will feel more delicious.

After eating, Erika and Ismalia packed their foodstuffs and washed them. While Mother Mastiara put more food back into the pot to be heated. The twins returned to their room. While the father sat relaxing in the living room watching television while taking notes.

Soon the wife approached her husband. Erika and Ismalia who had finished washing the dishes went straight into the room to rest for a while.

Without feeling the rest time Erika and Ismalia ended to close their eyes seem to have shown at 4 pm. Ismalia awakens Erika to pray Ashar together. After she finished, Erika prepared to pack up to go home.

Soon the driver will pick up in front of the alley.

Cringe Cringe

Erika's phone rang and answered. The caller was Erika's driver who had arrived in front of the alley. Erika bids farewell to the Ismalian family while kissing the hands of Ismalian parents whom she had considered her own parents to Erika.

Not to forget Mother Mastiara brought a stock of chicken stews for Erika to have dinner at home later. Remembering when eating earlier Erika how greedy even to add.
