Soon Soni approached her mother and sister.

"Nana, if again the ngunyah his mouth should be silent 'yes," reprimanded

"Sorry," the boy lowered his head, but continued eating.

Seeing the change in the face of Nana from who had been very carefree showing off all the food, and turned into a moody after being reprimanded, he felt sorry for his sister, then he took the initiative so that the face of the sister was cheerful again.

"Nana don't be so moody 'dong, I mean my mother negur nana kayak is good, so we are civilized in enjoying food.Nana tau ' right?"

Nana just nodded

"Well, it looks so good pepes his fish, suapin dong 'dek,aaaa..," soni opened his mouth wide.

It is with pleasure that she feeds soni,

"Hmmm, how nice is the fish, whether it's mom or mom?" after swallowing his food, Soni tried to make the sister cheerful again.

Nana was just silent, that she did not feel like she was feeding the soni until the food on her plate ran out.

"Alhamdulillah, soni soni is full, thanks ya 'deck,"

"Same," replied nana

After everyone finished eating, apologize.

"I'm sorry mom, it's made nana sad," she stroked her head gently, she felt very guilty.

"Where is a good boy, he's in the apology, right?" ask mirah gently.

The boy nodded, "yes, nana maafin" she said with a smile.

"Alhamdulillah, dear," said a warm smile.

"Everyone, try the chicken lemper" was told to open a food box containing chicken lemper

Soni was the first to take it, and he immediately ate it with great voracity.

"Waaahh, this is very tasty lemper.Suiran chicken in the lemper is not stingy, the chicken seasoning is also enaaakk once," praise soni, he mangosteen mangosteen while enjoying the lemper

"This lemon is made by my mother, but the seasoning of the chicken feed is the mother who made," said mirah.

"Hmm fast! the taste is double, so this is the cooperation lemper 'yes," said soni with a full mouth.

Mirah moses and Nana also chuckled at the soni speech like that.

After a while, the meal was over, then dzuhur prayer continued in the nearest mosque, after which the art stage will be continued.

And now the peak event was held, asoni and other friends carried out a farewell ceremony until entering Ashar time.

After the reporting and the whole show was over, they all went back home

......................

Evening arrived, after all the events last day at school nana and soni was already sound asleep, soni slept in the middle room while listening to the radio, while nana? the boy fell asleep in the lap of Moses after chattering ria, about his participation in various dances and songs at the performance of art last afternoon.

Mirah sighed in relief, she was rather calm because for now her daughter did not ask who herman was anymore.

Mirah, separated and moses are now on the front porch of his house, a plate of fried cassava, plus a plate of boiled beans and a plate of spicy gehu accompany their rest that night,not to mention the warm unsalted tea that adds to the family's warmth.

"How's mir? you feel at home in bandung?" moses opened the conversation.

"Alhamdulillah, I feel at home.Yes, although sometimes feel very tired, but it's only natural.My intention is to make a living for a better life in the future, so tired or whatever will make the spirit down, so, I must have ignored." Mirah.

Moses nodded, he was satisfied with his sister's answer.From the first mirah was not the type of woman who gave up on the situation, even if she would always try hard, especially if it was related to her daughter.

"So, now what's your plan? I mean, it's a three-week school vacation, are you gonna take her on a hibiscus vacation?" this time he asked

"Hem,iya.I will take him on vacation in Bandung, the boy must be very happy if I take him around there,not to mention his son Pak Rahardjo there is an age of nana, for sure he is happy to be friends with him," mirah explained at length

"Good then, nana will get a new experience there.How about soni, are you going to take her?" suddenly remembered the boy.

"If about soni, I've talked to him earlier, he I invited too.But the boy refused.Say he was doing a lot of work," said mirah, he said,frankly he felt very unbearable.Soni was still too small to continue the worship of his late husband, but what would you say the boy remained steadfast with his will.

"Well, if it is so.Let it be, the important thing is that the child feels happy with what he is doing, and what is very important is, what your child is doing is a positive thing," said disah

Mirah nodded, then she put the spicy gehu she made into her mouth, followed by fried cassava as a neutralizer of spicy taste on the tongue.

"Your plan, when to return to bandung," asked disah.

"Iihh, kakak.Baru also me two days here, already asked when to return," mirah pura sulking

"It's not that'mir, I will not have to prepare first before you return to the city of flowers," said disah

"What's 'sister?" irah curious

"Geez 'mir, you there are not alone.There is a rahardjo sir and all his employees, there must be your brother omi same story, yes you go there empty-handed.You must bring something from here,as by," was denied patting his eel, he wondered why the sudden mirah was a bit slow.

"Oh, that's." mirah just laughed.

"Mirah is here two days more brother, still at home.Mirah also has not met with kak dori, the plan is tomorrow to go there," the beautiful woman explained to her two brothers.

"Well then, the night is getting late, we should sleep now" Moses gave the order, and the two women nodded obediently.

Inside the mirah room immediately thrust herself into the bed, she hugged the princess and kissed her forehead gently.

Sensing her mother's movements, Nana opened her eyes slightly.

"Mom, you haven't answered nana's question, who is it? is he really nana's father?" with half-open eyes and a hoarse voice she asked her mother.

Mirah's heart was again surprised by her daughter's question, she could not answer it now.Then patted her back slowly so that the girl to sleep again.However, nana's question just now made it difficult to close her eyes.
