Salsa got off the grabcar car with her school friends in front of a Mall and with her friends entered the Mall.Gadis had changed her uniform with clothes to the Mall which corresponds to the age of teenagers.

"Well, let's go into the shirt shop over there first before we go to the other stores and game centers that are in this mall."ecca said with her bustling voice to Salsa and the others.

Salsa and her friends have fun in the Mall from the hours of school to six in the afternoon starting from visiting the shops in the Mall to the center of the game he was at the mall with his friends.

"Sa, we go eat first yuk in a South Korean-style restaurant" said Ecca holding Salsa's hand to be invited to a restaurant that serves South Korean-style food.

"Eh, well." said Salsa unkindly to Ecca and her friends when she was not ready to have dinner together at the restaurant.

Ella picked up a food menu book from one of the restaurant's waiters and chose a food menu in the form of bibimbap, samyang, and topokki and various South Korean foods.

"Ella, I want to try to drink ice cream various flavors of Kdrama like we are in South Korea" said Ecca took the food menu book list from Ella's hand

"Yes, just try all the food in this restaurant" said Ella so happy when she could gather together with her friends.

"Sa, how come you just kept quiet from earlier and didn't order anything? " ask Astrid next to Ella to Salsa.

"I'm fine, Astrid.I've ordered the same food as the food that Ecca ordered to the waiter." replied Salsa.

" Oh, which one is your order, Sa? "ask Ella to Salsa who has taken a bowl of banana-flavored ice cream filling on the table as the waiter has delivered all their orders to their table.

Eccas, Ella and Astrid exchanged glances before they followed Salsa together, taking the food they ordered and enjoying together with a joy that could never be repeated in the future they graduated Mutiara Bangsa High School.

"Ella, try my food and I'm sure that you'll love eating bibimbap" said Ecca, offering her food to Ella beside Salsa.

"Yes, you also tried my food so that we could try all these foods" Ella said with a crisp laugh as she scooped her bibimbap in front of Ecca.

"📱Sister Marco, I asked permission to go home to my Papa and Mama to stay there for one day only, huh? " salsa wrote in WA to Marco who still works at the Factory in the Pamulang area.

"📱Yes, please, just go ahead. "reply Marco via WA to Salsa in an online taxi car in front of the Mall.

"📱Wah, thank you Brother Marco for your permission for I can release my misses with Mama and Papaku at my house. "said Salsa who is now directly video call with Marco.

"📱Yes, Marco's sister is happy to work and see you tomorrow night at home" Salsa said in a soft tone to Marco and ended her video call with Marco.

Upon Salsa's arrival at her parents' house, the girl seemed so happy to visit her own bedroom and her favorite hello kitty doll in her bed.

"Salsa, what are you doing coming back here? " asked her mother from the door of her room in a tone that did not like her coming home to her parents.

"Yes, Salsa misses Mama and Papa, Ma." replied Salsa surprised at the tone of Mama's voice.

"You can't come back here without the permission of your brother Marco or the Salim family" Lisa Wijayanto said, pulling him out of bed.

"Why can't I go home to Sin? Isn't this my home too? " salsa asked deeply saddened to see her mother's attitude.

"Because you have been proposed by Mr. Hendri Salim's family to Marco." Lisa replied with a firm and hard tone to Salsa who was increasingly confused by the attitude of his mother who no longer loved him.

" Mom, am I no longer Mama and Papa's son just because I have been proposed by Mr. Hendri Salim's family to Brother Marco?" salsa asked in tears sad to see her Mama in front of her instead scolding her.

"Yes, Salsa.Listen, the daughter who has been proposed by the family of Mr. Hendri Salim can not be at will to go home to his biological parents without permission from the family of Mr. Hendri Salim.Because if you violate it, then you will get punishment from the family of Mr. Hendri Salim, especially from Marco, your future husband." replied Lisa Wijayanto in front of his son.

"Sir Marco has given his permission to Salsa, Ma" said Salsa showing Marco's WA message to his mother who immediately read and nodded her head.

"Well, Mama likes to read the WA from Marco for you, Sa." said Lisa Wijayanto sighing in relief.

"Ma, does Mama now allow Salsa to stay here for one day only? " salsa asked pleading with her Mama who looked at her then looked at the HP in her hand and nodded her head.

"Yes, you can stay here for one day only and tomorrow you have to go home to Mr. Hendri Salim as a good wife candidate, exemplary daughter-in-law and future granddaughter-in-law who is devoted to the family of Mr. Hendri Salim. " lisa Wijayanto replied in a very firm tone to Salsa who lowered her head and nodded her head to answer.
