Lord Efendi's meeting with Diah Susanti, was so blue. Diah had not expected that he could meet his father when he was exactly 26 years old. What a wonderful gift from God to him.
"Include Diah. This is your sister" said Mami, currently Juliana just returned home from college.
"I..." Diah extended her hand smiling.
"Juliana" the two faced each other, but still looked awkward.
"Sister..so this, brother Diah, is what Papi used to tell you?" Juli stared at papi there was a happy twinkle.
"Betul Nak, you who get along yes" papi wrapped his hands on Diah's shoulders, and Juliana, the position of the papi in the middle.
"Obviously dong Pi, yes no sister" Juliana then hugged Diah. However, Diah was still smiling clumsily.
"Papi hope..you want to stay here" said papi from the living room, papi invites to move to the back garden to be more relaxed talking.
They were gathered with the newly met child, his stepson who had just returned from college, and also Mami Desty.
"For the time being, I can't Pi yet" Diah replied, right now, he's learning to become an independent person.
"But you're right, son, it's time you're happy, don't have to work, you better go to college" Desty said.
Diah was silent, just wiggling her legs over the gazebo with her legs dangling against the pool.
"Betul Kak Diah, Brother went to college with me, later we have a campus, Kak" Juliana persuaded.
"No deck, my brain is mediocre, it is difficult to think" replied Diah is indeed true.
All eyes were on him. "Kak Diah don't be pessimistic..optimistic dong Kak" advises Juliana.
"Don't talk about college first deck, we just celebrate, this meeting" concluded Diah.
They talk about other problems. Diah apparently lazy to discuss about college, what else to continue, his brain is not willing to compromise.
Diah finally decided to go home even though all persuaded to stay at the papi house or at least stay for the night, but Diah has not accepted.
"Tomorrow on Sunday, I'd better... Brother, stay here" Juli said.
"Tomorrow at noon on deck, God willing, I'm here again" Diah wants to go home tomorrow morning to wash clothes and rub them.

Saturday afternoon it was time for project workers to receive salaries including Alfred. He received a weekly paycheck.
He smiled as he opened the envelope counting 900 thousand, though not comparable when working with his in-laws. But at least he has his own income.
"Mbak... How much do I owe?" alfred asked the warteg guard who was half-bodied, and was always flirtatious to him.
"In the meantime" the woman opened a diary of daily debts. "150 thousand Bang" said the woman.
Alfred then paid for it, without permission to leave Warteg's servants. He took a transport to the supermarket to buy his favorite fruit Gita. It was impossible for him to give such money to his wife as well as sowing salt in the salty sea.
Arriving at the supermarket, he chose fruit, while carrying a basket.
No matter being the center of attention to people, it may feel strange because the viewer is still wearing a t-shirt, and the sleek pants are a lot of cement dry. She poked her lamb with a rubber band, which she picked up when she bought the rice pack earlier this afternoon. Much different from Alfred who used to be a director.
When he was about to pay the cashier, Alfred passed the toy store. The pale white hand lifted the cars, looked at the price, then put them in the basket. For a long time, he never bought toys for his son.
Alongside the mobilan, her blue eyes catch a packet of dolls, for the stimulation of a 6-month-old child. Alfred picked up the doll, spontaneously he remembered his son whom he had wasted. Even until now he has never seen the face of his son, the fruit of his love with Diah.
His eyes glazed over and hugged the doll. It was very exciting to meet his second child, and give this doll. But how? there is no way he suddenly came, automatically he was in the care of a family that had adopted his son. He has not known the Diah family.
Alfred decided to put the doll in the basket.
"Oh.. Just ask for help, to Bang's daycare"
"Oh that's it, thank you" Alfred headed to daycare. Sure enough, the doll is a package containing five cute animal dolls that are neatly wrapped.
Alfred then went back out on the transport, to the address of the Rose. It is not difficult to find the address of the Rose that has entered google, which Diah once showed when they were still together.
Alfred got off the transport, covered his face with a handkerchief just visible to his eyes.
He took the road to be invisible to the occupants and then threw the doll into the fence.
Baby sitter Roses who were pushing stroller want to take Syifa a walk to the complex area, see someone throw goods. It's clinging to finding who it is. But no one, around.
Alfred left the place, after believing the doll was kept a baby sitter.

"Sus, Freddy's taking a shower?" ask Gita, to the baby sitter. He was in the kitchen helping prepare dinner.
"Non" replied the sister.
"Where now? tumbens! the boy has no voice?" Gita was surprised, usually her son always asked this.
"Main in Non's room, it was brought by souvenirs by Mr" replied the Sister. After receiving a toy from his daddy while in the yard, Freddy looked excited and brought a toy into the playground.
"Master's coming home, Sus?" Gita hasn't seen her husband.
"Already Non, Mr. also bought fruit, I've washed" added aunt while showing fruit in the refrigerator.
Gita didn't answer straight to the room to see her husband, what exactly was Alfeed doing out there? Nowadays, I buy fruit.
To date, their relationship has not improved. However, when trying to climb the stairs. Gita's eyes caught the figure of her husband who was snoring smooth on the sofa.
Gita approached her husband looking fixed on the face of the man who is still enthroned in his heart until now.
His body looked thin, his face slightly black, looking deep in his afternoon sleep, probably from exhaustion.
Gita's tears could not be held back, when he saw his clothes were still a lot of traces of material attached. Without asking Gita can answer, what work is her husband doing now.
Gita raises her hand, intending to wake her husband up, but he lowers back down.
Gita closed her mouth so that her cries could not be heard. She left her husband continuing his intention to go to the room with mixed feelings.
Seeing the hard work that her husband is doing now, she does not have the heart. However, when she remembered the betrayal of her husband who had incised her heart wound, the inner war she felt.
Gita wiped her tears, so that no trace of her then approached her son.
"Ciiiitttt.. ngeeeeng..." Freddy was busy crashing slowly between the car he held left hand, and right hand.
"Darling...what are you playing?" ask Gita and sit on the floor in front of her son.
"Mom's new car, it's Daddy who bought it, good right?" Freddy showed me the car he was holding.
"Good.. now Freddy wake up Daddy on the sofa downstairs first yes... tell me to take a shower, keep bobo in the room" said Gita.
"Okay... Mom" Freddy's excited.
"Build it slowly, which is polite, so Daddy is not surprised" Gita added.
Freddy nodded and ran down the stairs to wake up his daddy.
