That morning Sissy and Rio headed to the shopping center in Surabaya city. They intend to spend the last holiday Rio by shopping for kitchen and furniture needs. Before shopping they watch movies in the cinema first. After watching, because they were hungry they finally entered a fast food restaurant.
"New bride. Pa any news? how could I meet you here, huh?" Greet someone to them.
"Adi's.. Thank God we are good at. Who are you the same?" Rio greeted behind the person who turned out to be Adi, Rio's co-worker as well as Sissy High School friend.
"The same wife. No, they're sitting there." Adi headed to the table in the corner of the room.
"Oohs. We'll be there later on." Reply Sissy who is still waiting in line.
"Yes. I'm first yeah." Adi passed by leaving them with a tray of food.
"okay." Reply Rio.
After getting the order, they went to the table next to Adi's and family's table.
"Assalamualaikum Ma'am." Sissy's greeting to the woman next to Adi.
"It's Ma. My friend I told you about." Said Adi introducing his wife, Nia to Sissy and Rio.
"Oh yes. I'm Nia. Yesterday also came to your wedding." Nia said while hugging Sissy.
"Yes Ma'am. Take another walk, Mother." Rio asked.
"Business of monthly shopping. His father also came home spit earlier." Answer Nia.
"Yes Ma'am. Please proceed. We'll sit there first." Sissy approached Rio who was already sitting in the next chair.

The next day Sissy woke up early to prepare breakfast for Rio.
"Mas, breakfast is the same as an omelet, right? Ribet if you have to cook early in the morning." shouted Sissy at Rio who was bathing.
"Yes Deck. I must be eating." replied Rio.
Sissy also cooked rice and prepared a special omelet for her husband. While waiting for the rice to ripen, Sissy prepared a work shirt for Rio.
"Sir, I'll have lunch outside. There are guests from the headquarters." Rio said as they ate breakfast.
"Yes Mas. Why am I doing this?" Sissy was confused because there were no activities to do.
"You're playing with the neighbors. They usually like to hang out." Said Rio
"Yes deh Mas." replied Sissy resigned.
At 9am Sissy left the house and saw the neighboring mothers gathering at the volleyball court while babysitting their children. It looks like Mbak Mira is feeding the little Radi who is only 2 years old. Next to him was Bu Yuli, Mr. Harun's wife, 2 of his children were already in elementary school, so Ms. Yuli was among the seniors. Sissy approached them.
"Mr Sissy, here's Ma'am's gathering." Say hello to Bu Yuli when she sees Sissy.
"Yes ma'am, still confused about what to do." Sissy said as she sat next to Mira.
"Well, is this Ara alone? Which mama?" sissy asks when she sees Tiara, Mas Aji's son and Rani's mother.
"Rani is changing the baby's diapers" replied Mira.
"Oohs..Aye." Yeah." Sissy also listened to these mothers talk.
"Mbak Sissy, you can finally see Mr. Rio getting married." said Rani who just came again.
"Yes Ma'am. Thank you for a beautiful wife." Ms. Yuli added.
"Can be Mom. Thank God you are a fool." Sissy replied wisely.
"Sissy's mom doesn't work." asked Mira.
"Where's Ma'am's work last?" Rani asked as well.
"In the Restaurant Ma'am. In Malang." Answer Sissy.
"Sadly you have to stop." Said Ms. Yuli.
"Yes, she chose to follow my husband." Answer Sissy.
"I used to work at a bakery near here. But since Ara's pregnancy stopped, then a year later pregnant again Jidan. Yaudah is a child." Rani tells the story while putting Jidan to sleep.
"Enakan is also Ran's housewife. Can set the time more flexible." said Bu Yuli.
"Liat son and husband healthy, we go along with it." Mira added.
"Yes yes, Ma'am. I hope I can get pregnant too." Sissy said as she gently stroked the cheek of Jidan who had fallen asleep on her mother's lap.
"It's a lot so that the child's spit out, must often play with small children." Rani says while giving Jidan into Sissy's arms.
"Yes Ma'am. Aamiins. Hopefully yes. Let's not lose weight." Sissy kept looking at Jidan's sleeping face in her arms.
"What age is Ma'am? Just got married?" Search Rani.
"Yes is the age of my mother. It's late for marriage." Sissy replied while chuckling.
"Sir papa Mbak. If the windfall has to be given by Ma'am" said Bu Yuli.
"I also waited a long time Ma'am. 2 new years can." Mira added.
"Oh Yes Ma'am?" Sissy is interested in Mira's story.
"It used to be LDR. I still work at Blitar, Mas Andi here." said Mira. " I finally resigned. 6 Months to get pregnant."
"Where did Mommy work?" Sissy rode again.
"Work at the Bank ***. It was in Surabaya, but 2 months after the wedding was moved to Blitar." said Mira.
"I also this week may go home to Malang first. I'm done with the business there." Sissy.
"His mother was left behind by Dong Mbak." seduced by Bu Yuli.
"While Ma'am. Maybe next month start staying here." Sissy.
"Yes Ma'am. Cepet-cepet moved here. Poor it." Said Ms. Yuli.
"Yes Mom. It's also still taking care of my mother first, just as taking care of ponakan school as well." Answer Sissy.
"Sissy's mom who took care of everything? Where's his brother?" Rani started kepo.
"My brother's out of town. Yeah how about it again, while it's just a walk." Sissy began to be uncomfortable with Rani's attitude.
"Yes Ma'am. Already. Rio is a good person. No neko-neko." Said Bu Yuli calming Sissy. Fortunately there was Bu Yuli who could neutralize the atmosphere.
"Next month Mr. Bayu boss also wants his wife to come here." Said Mira.
"Oh yeah? Which house to live in?" Ask Sissy.
"Now, house number 1 is the end." Rani pointed at the house at the end near the security guard post.
"Ooh.." Sissy can only be mangosteen.
"It's early next month. In Semarang. I'll think there together." Said Ms. Yuli.
"Yes Ma'am. All our picnics." Said Mira who had tos with Rani.
"The people who have no picnic." Ledek Bu Yuli greeted with laughter all.
