The time machine still faithfully rotates on its axis, awakening the guard morning and noon, after his task of illuminating the earth is completed, exchanging his position with the moon of night, and, and so on until it did not feel a week passed quickly.
A week went by, making Dhana and Mala's relationship a little better after that long afternoon. Dhana always approached the wife in the apartment after delivering her two children to school. During the week it also improved slightly, although Mala was still in the apartment. Dhana no longer forces Mala to change and accept Wulan. Dhana chooses to use her own way so that Mala's heart can melt against her daughter without coercion.
The absolute decision of the son made Mr. Aidi and Ms. Aini supportive, believing that the son would be able to solve all his household problems. Both are only busy with taking care of Damar Wulan when Dhana enjoys time with Mala.
Unethical indeed, at a time when family problems are still heating up Dhana even be kind to his wife who is considered evil to his own child. But that is the goal of Dhana. Trying to soften the heart of the wife who was already hard because of hatred in her own way. Even the beloved princess was very supportive of him, as well as Damar.
During one week of walking, with enthusiasm and enthusiasm, Damar and Wulan always filled their time with diligent study without thinking about the mami who was in the apartment, making both successful when completing the exam well until now comes the moment where all the grades they get for one semester will be shared.
"Dhana... Where are your children? Are they not awake yet? Today you're going to school to pick up their report, right?" ask Bu Aini while preparing food.
Dhana turned her head, looking at the stairs to look for the whereabouts of her two children who had been preparing to go to school but had not yet come down from the top floor.
"They're getting ready, ma'am. After all, taking a report does not have to be determined what time to come, right? So I don't have to worry." replied Dhana who enjoyed her breakfast.
"Your mother seems to have forgotten how to become a teacher because she has retired." said Mr. Aidi who glanced, tempting the wife.
Bu Aini clucked in anxiety, looking at Mr. Aidi who giggled amusedly at the expression on his face, provoking a crisp twitch that came out of Dhana's mouth.
"Opa's Morning! Morning Oma! Morning Papi!"
Sahutan Damar, who was down in spirit with her twin sister, caught the attention of Pak Aidi, Bu Aini and Dhana who had sat down, enjoying breakfast together.
"Opa's grandchildren are so excited. There will definitely be happy news later when you come home to bring your report. Opa so increasingly impatient to hear the two grandchildren Opa is getting the class champion." said Mr. Aidi.
"It looks like Opa is mocking Damar huh? Opa knows for himself, right if Damar can never get the title of champion in the class? Ah, Opa sucks!" sumpul Damar sat down.
Mr. Aidi chuckled furiously, glancing at his head-shaking wife looking at her behavior, provoking laughter from Dhana and Wulan. Then continue the breakfast so wisely.
"Dhana... You went with Mala, right?" asked Bu Aini while feeding her food.
"No, Ma. Mala will follow Dhana and the children to school. Because Damar Wulan's class was different, so Mala had to come and take Damar's report. While Dhana will take the Wulan report as usual." replied Dhana who reviewed the knot smile.
Ms. Aini nodded, indeed this is one of the activities at the end of each semester at the school of her two twin grandchildren on this one, indeed, Dhana and Mala had to split the task to take the report of their two children because Mala did not want to take the Wulan report.
"After taking the report, you immediately bring Mala home. I'll prepare lunch for you later. How's it?" said Ms. Aini again who hoped that the daughter-in-law would return to her home.
"Yes, Mom. Dhana will bring Mala home." replied the smiling Dhana, calming the mother.
Ms. Aini nodded happily, the son-in-law will return home and all will return as usual.
"Let's kids, we're leaving now! Mom, Dad... Dhana pamit yes. Assalamualaikum.." said Dhana who greets both.
"Wa'alaikumsalam!" ma'am Aini answered while stroking the heads of her two grandchildren.
Dhana nods, smiles at her mother, grabs her daughter's son who approaches her after saying goodbye to her opa and oma.
"Be prepared! Which one of you will get this semester's class champion!" dhana shouted while opening the car door.
"It's definitely Adek, Pi!" answer Damar.
Wulan shook his head quickly, rejecting the words of the twin who made his heart beat faster when discussing about the class champion. While Dhana who saw it just smiled, shook her head because of the behavior of her two children who are increasingly teenagers.

"Ck! Dhana is a long time!!! What time is it, try it?"
Mala clucked in annoyance, walking here and there beside the school gate glancing at the circular watch in her hand, watching the road, hoping that the husband's car would soon come carrying her son. Unknowingly, there was someone who was busy watching himself from inside the school.
It turns out he's coming! Surely he wants to take the report of his two twins. Mala, Mala, after this you must prepare because I will expose your true origins to your husband's family. There will be a special surprise for you tonight, Mala. Mumbled that figure in the heart.
The figure left, entering into someone's workspace with a grin on his face that was clearly visible. Later, Dhana's car entered the school yard, followed by Mala who ran a small approach to her husband's car. Dhana got down from the car, along with her two children, looking towards the pouting Mala.
"Why is it so long?" mala Sulang.
"Macet, Honey. Sorry." replied Dhana.
Mala clucked, approaching the beloved son who was standing by his daughter's side without turning his head towards Wulan in the slightest. Dhana embraces him, gently stroking the princess's shoulders, neutralizing jealousy and envy as the mother still ignores her.
Wulan raised her head, looked at the pain of the papi who was getting closer to him, smiled bitterly as if giving a signal that he was fine even though his heart screamed sore, sick and eager to scream. While Damar who approached the mother was just flat, looking at Wulan who reviewed the sweet smile mainstay with a roll in her white teeth.
"Honey, you go with Damar yes, while I will go with Wulan." said Dhana who diverted attention.
Mala turned her head, glancing sharply at Wulan for a moment before nodding her head with a wide smile towards her husband. After that, he walked away with Damar, embracing the possessive shoulder of his son, but Damar did not heed the actions of his mother.
"Darling.don't be sad. Papi's gonna go to your class and pick up your report book. You have to stay strong and patient." Dhana said crouching in front of the princess.
Wulan nodded, her teary eyes blinking so that the feathers would not fall on their own, grabbing the papi's hand and walking towards her class.

"Where are you going Shahil?"
Shahil gasped, footsteps made slow down the stairs slowly, can still be heard by the mother who is now busy struggling with her kitchen utensils. Shahil turned his head, smiling broadly at the mother who was looking at him in search.
For one week, Syahil managed to become a good child, proving that he had really changed for the better than before, the proof after going home from college he immediately went home, not going at night like you used to. The work of the shahil feels more useful than ever.
"Going alone? Where is syahal?" vanny asked as she turned to the balcony upstairs.
"Mas Syahal again in the room, play a game! Syahil has also said yes to Mas Syahal, Ma." replied Syahil who looks nervous and clumsy.
Vanny squinted, looking for something her son was thinking about this week to be aware of his mistake. The trust that collapsed seemed difficult to rebuild, making Vanny always vigilant if the son turned naughty again as before.
"You didn't lie to Mama, did you?" asked Vanny while looking closely at the son.
"The devil doesn't lie, Ma. Syahil wants to buy something at the front minimarket. Just a minute." replied Shahil who convinced the mother.
Vanny let out a long sigh, trying to shake off the fear that the twin sons had not completely changed, then nodded. Making Syahil smile happy because the permission of the mother he cantongi.
Shahil went, took a thousand steps to the main door, riding the Syahal motorbike he had borrowed using the same excuse on his beloved mother.
"Shahil apologize, Ma, Mas Syahal. The shahil had to lie. The shahil must be able to solve the problem so that there will be no new problems that arise at a later date just because the old problems are not finished."
Syahil stared at the nanar towards the house, the atmosphere was quiet so obvious because the papa had left for the office earlier than usual, making him rush to turn on his motorbike, out of the gate, down the streets.

"Congratulations, Wulan. You got the title of champion one more this semester! Congratulations, my son!!"
The twinkle of happiness was clearly visible on the faces of Dhana and Wulan, taking a book that is a report of the hard work learned during this year from the hands of the homeroom teacher who is none other than Kinan. Trying professionally to run a job as a homeroom teacher and principal, meeting with Dhana makes him nervous unstable.
Unlike Dhana who is calm and looks ordinary, no nervousness radiates from the look in her eyes because indeed, the past is just a cliche that must be destroyed to live the future. Dhana smiles happily, hugging Wulan tightly, showering the princess's head with thousands of kisses of affection.
"Bapi is very proud of you, dear" said Dhana who hugged the princess tightly.
Wulan smiled bitterly, remembering the mother made him look back.
Suppose Mami is like Papi. Smacking my head, forehead and face like this, then I am the happiest person in the world more than anyone. Wulan murmured in the heart.
Dhana broke her embrace, cupping the beautiful face of the princess who was already wet because tears full of water just flowed.
"Preserve your achievements yes, Wulan!!! Happy holidays and see you two weeks later." said Kinan who was trying to change the atmosphere between the two.
"Thank you, Mrs Kinan. Thank you for guiding my son so that he is always the class champion in every semester." replied Dhana who represents his daughter's heart.
"Together, Mr. Dhana. Not only am I in charge of guiding Wulan, but the teachers also play a role here. Not only Wulan, but all our students and students are mentored." Kinan said calmly and professionally.
"Okay, then we'll excuse you. Assalamualaikum." replied Dhana as she moved, grabbed the princess' hand and left.
"Wa'alaikum..."
Dhana sauntered, out of the classroom where Wulan learned while embracing the shoulders of the princess of pride, leaving Kinan who sat dumbstruck, looking at the back of a figure who had expressed sincere love for her but she refused, making the pain of regret effects that come at the time is not right, but it is too late.
Kinan could only smile bitterly, remembering the past only made his heart ache and would not be treated, choosing to continue his work, distributing the reports of other students who had been waiting their turn.
Dhana walks, embracing the possessive shoulder of the princess who holds the trophy along with the award charter as the title of the first champion, while the report book is held by Dhana.
"Fire..."
The sparkle of happiness was more radiated when the voice of the son baritone who had just come out of class with his wife. Damar ran quickly, slammed into the arms of the papi and grabbed the shoulders of the beloved twin sister.
"Champion room three, Pi! Damar's champion three!" said Damar who sounded so jarring.
"Alhamdulillah... Papi is really happy to see these two Papi twins become class champions! Papi's proud, son! Papi's proud!"
The atmosphere was back to feel. Wulan hugged the twin who had fought hard to always get a champion, now the effort was not in vain, inviting tears Wulan who knew how Damar struggle.
"How about we go to lunch at the cafe to celebrate this Mas? Our son managed to get champion three." said Mala who embraced the shoulder of the son from behind.
"But I promised Mom I'd take you home and we could have lunch together at home. Not only Damar, our beautiful daughter also got a champion. Wulan got the first place in her class." replied Dhana who stroked Wulan's face.
The look on Mala's face that was shining brightly suddenly pias, glanced dislikely towards the princess who was smiling sweetly towards him. Mala turned away, not wanting to see a sweet smile that was not much sweet with her smile, not wanting to look into those shady eyes. Making Wulan's sweet smile recede, choosing to duck down from her heart ached again.
"If it is indeed Mother who asks, I agree Mas." Mala replied coldly, turning her head in the other direction.
Dhana smiles, although Mala's answer is not too excited after hearing that her daughter is also a champion, making Dhana to remain patient and extra patient again.
"But Damar and Adek seemed to be coming home later, Pi. Class friends want to hold a get-together at the Cafe. So Papi and Mami go home first huh."
