"Mumpung grandparents have not come, Zea's body wiped first yuk use warm water." invite Rahma.

The clock shows at 15:00. Zea, who was getting tired of sleeping in her room, asked her mother to turn on the TV.
"Ma..," said Zea .
"Yes, Honey. What do you want, what's this beauty?" answer Rahma who was taking porridge to eat Zea.
"Zea, want to watch TV, Ma."
"Yes, Honey. Yuk, Mama's carrying." Rahma put the bowl of porridge on the table, then carried Zea. After turning on the TV, "Zea. After that, take the medicine to be healthy quickly."
"Yes, Ma."
Tok, Tok, Tok, Tok,
Rahma who was preparing food for Zea, immediately walked towards the door.
Chequelek
"Assalamu'alaikum." said Nur's mother who saw her favorite child.
"Wa'alaikum salam. O God, Mother .. ," replied Rahma reflex immediately hugged her mother, "Dad .. ," immediately kissed the back of her father's hand.
"Where's my cucuk? Grandpa Grandma misses Zea so much." Mother Nur's eyes glazed over.
"Zea, watching TV, Bun. Come, Mother's father goes into the house." After both parents sat down, Rahma immediately made a warm coffee and prepared some kind of pastry for both parents.
"Ma, who's coming?" ask Zea.
"Astaghfirullah ... Baby, Mama forgot. It was Nur's grandmother and Ibrahim's grandfather already coming. Ze--," Stops because Zea immediately catches up with her grandparents.
"Grandfather .. , Grandma .. , Zea kangen." Clutched her grandfather tightly.
"Alhamdulillah, Grandpa's grandson is well" said Ibrahim's father, stroking Zea's hair.
"Darling, how are you? Kangen's the same Grandma isn't it?" ask Mother Nur by developing a smile.
"Kangen, Grandma." Clutching her grandmother tightly.
That afternoon, it became a moment of longing release that for several months had been held. Seemed frenzied happy from the look of their faces. However, there are some question strokes in the minds of Ibrahim's grandfather and Nur's mother
Whose house is this? Why do they live here? What the hell is going on? Why hasn't anyone told me about my son's household? Is this why Rahma would not let me come to her house every time she wanted to meet Zea?
Those questions continued to swirl in Zea's grandparents' mind that afternoon.
"Ra," Mother Nur immediately grabbed Rahma's hand.
"Yes, Mother."
"Whose house is this? Why, you guys live here?" ask Mother Nur with a face that began to look sad.
Ibrahim's father who heard his wife began to talk to Rahma privately, immediately invited Zea to play on the porch of the house.
"Zea, let's play on the porch. Grandpa and Grandma stopped by the toy store and bought lots of toys for Zea. Uh, there are rainbow cupcakes in the same brownies steamed by grandma Nur as well. Zea, like it?" Carrying Zea to the terrace.
"Ma." Spontaneously touching the back of Rahma's hand.
Rahma who was busy thinking about the answer to her mother's question immediately wavered, "Eh, I-yeah, Bun. What's up?"
"Lho, what's wrong? Mother asked you. Kan, you haven't answered."
"Ask? Hehe, while tidying her hair aside, "wonder what Mother?"
"Ra, please be honest with Mother. What's really going on." Holding his daughter's hand.
"I-This, our rented house Bun. Now Rahma and the family live here," Rahma's eyes began to turn red with tears that almost fell, "the company of papa Ibrahim collapsed, Bun. Papa had a stroke. They are now also living in a rented not far from here."
Hearing Rahma's explanation, immediately drop by drop Nur's mother's tears began to wet her hijab. "Why not tell us? Until your situation is like this, Mother and Father do not know at all," began to sob, "at least, if you tell Mother or Father, who knows we can help."
The tears of Rahma, now unable to hold anymore. Even to speak, his lips were as though. Hearing his mother's words, he felt there was a point as well. Guilt began to appear.
If I had talked to my parents, there would have been a way out. And my husband's family won't be this bad.
