"Didn't you have the courage to visit the house? when it's your home, you have the right to come there anytime!" rohan's speech is so cynical


"Yes, you're right.I don't have the courage yet, maybe if my son was there there there would be a little strength for me, to visit that house,"


"And you're wrong! it's not my house, but my parents' house, so the right to the house is not just me but my brother, too" herman continued


"Then you still have the right to the house, we can stay there" said the spiritan as shameless


"We'll see" said Herman


Of course, Rohanah very much hoped to live there, the house was very large and spacious, now he felt crowded because he had to live in his mother's small and narrow house ,women really don't know themselves.
