Finished performing the maghrib prayer, Mila invited Aluna to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
"Where is Zaki going?" asked Aluna while looking around.
"He's still in his room, baby. Om Zaki it when you get home from work, go straight to his room to rest. Because he's tired, baby. If you want to play with him, later if he has a holiday," explained Mila.
"Yes Ma. You see, since Holy Oma left, this house became very quiet. Big house, but who lives here only a little. Just Mama, Oma, and Om Zaki."
"Hehe. his name is rich, dear, so his house is big."
"I'm so happy that Ma can stay here. Moreover, this house has a swimming pool. I can swim every day."
"Swimming and basketball are Om Zaki's hobbies at home."
"Oh, yes, ma."
After Mila finished preparing the food on the table, Mila then looked at Aluna.
"You want to call Om Zaki in his room? Tell Om Zaki that the food is ready."
"Yes Ma."
Aluna hurried off to go upstairs to call Zaki. Arriving in front of Zaki's room, Aluna knocked on the door slowly.
Tok tok...
"Of... About Zaki..."
A while later, Zaki who was already wearing casual clothes came out of his room. She smiled when she saw the beautiful Aluna.
"What's Aluna doing?" ask Zaki.
"Food is ready. I was told by my mom to call Om."
"Yes. Let's get down!"
Zaki grabbed onto Aluna's shoulder and took Aluna down. They walked towards the dining room.
Arriving at the dining room, Zaki and Aluna sit down mingling with Mila for dinner.
"Mama's gone Mil?" ask Zaki on the sidelines.
"It was noon today" replied Mila.
Zaki looked at Aluna who looked devious to eat.
"Aluna, eat a lot. Let your body get fat fast. Not as skinny as your mom." Zaki glanced at Mila who was beside him sitting down.
Aluna nodded. "Yes Om."
"Ish you why I'm skinny Mas. I'm not so skinny."
"Yes. Now you are a bit full. The first time you lived here, you were so skinny Mil."
"Well his name is also a lot of people think of Mas."
On the sidelines of their dinner, Mila's phone suddenly rang.
Mila saw the call from her phone.
"Who's Mil calling? My mama?" ask Zaki.
Mila shakes. "Not Mas. From Aluna's father."
Aluna stopped her eating. After that he looked at his mother.
"Mama, that's Papa's call."
Mila nodded. After that Mila also raised a call from Adnan.
"Hello. Assalamualaikum."
"Wa'alakiumsalam."
"What's up, Mom?"
"Mila, where's Aluna? I want to talk to him."
"Yes. It's Aluna."
Mila hands her phone to Aluna.
"Hello Papa..."
"Hello darling. What else?"
"I'm having dinner with Mama and Om Zaki."
"Aluna, don't you want to go home to Papa? Mama and Papa Monika want to go. Your grandmother has no friends, pity her."
"Where are you and Aunt Monika going?"
"We're going on a honeymoon to Bali."
"When did Papa leave?"
"Tomorrow sweetheart."
"How long will Papa be in Bali?"
"Not long, dear. At least one week."
"That's dong. Later Aluna asked Mama or Om Zaki to nganter go home. Papa can't pick up Aluna. Papa should be ready for tomorrow."
"Yes Pa."
"Yes, Papa just wants to talk about it. Aluna continue to eat it."
"Yes Pa."
"Assalamualaik."
"Wa'alakiumsalam."
After disconnecting her phone line, Aluna then put the phone on the table.
"What's the matter, baby?" ask Mila.
"Papa and Aunt Monika are going to Bali tomorrow. They said they wanted a honeymoon. I was told to go home to accompany my grandmother" explained Aluna.
Zaki and Mila stared at each other. It's actually hard for Mila to let Aluna go home. But Mila is also unlikely to forbid Aluna from returning to her father's house.
"Keep, you want to go home to your Papa?" tanya Zaki looked at Aluna fixedly.
"yes Om. I'm taking you to Grandma's house."
"Yes. When are you going there?"
"Tomorrow Om."
"Yes tomorrow to take you to your grandmother's house. Now, you finish eating."
"Yes Om."
****
This afternoon Zaki, Mila, and Aluna are still on their way to Bu Retno's house.
It's actually hard for Mila to return Aluna to her ex-husband's house. But Mila also felt sorry for Bu Retno who had long missed Aluna. Mila also did not want to force Aluna to come with him.
Arriving in front of Bu Retno's house, Zaki stops his car.
"Mas, me and Aluna go down first huh. You want to come down Mas?" ask Mila to Zaki.
"No need. I'll just wait here."
Aluna and Mila then get off Zaki's car. They walked into the gate of Bu Retno's house.
Mila and Aluna stop their steps when they see Adnan, Monika and Bu Retno out of their house. Adnan had brought a big suitcase. Looks like he's leaving now.
"Assalamualaikum," said Mila after arriving at the front porch of the house of Bu Retno.
Retno smiled as she looked at Aluna and Mila. Mila immediately kissed the back of Miss Retno's hand.
"How are you, ma'am?" ask Mila.
"Good Mil. You're good too, right?"
"Yes Mom. Alhamdulillahot. I came here, just wanted to banter Aluna. He said he wanted to go home, wanted to nemenin his grandmother."
Miss Retno smiled. After that he looked at Adnan and Monika.
"You want to go now?" ask Retno to the two of them.
"Yes Ma" replied Adnan.
Adnan stared at Mila for a moment.
"Thank you, you're going to take Aluna home."
"Yes Mas. You welcome. And congratulations to you both. Sorry about your wedding, I can't come. Because I'm busy again" said Mila.
"Nothing Ma'am. Anyway, Mbak did not come I also did not feel at a disadvantage really," said Monika with a cynical look.
It seems Monika also dislikes the arrival of Mila to her husband's house.
Deg.
Mila was shocked when she heard Monika's words. Mila must be extra patient to face this woman. That Monika, likes the origin of her speech. Without keeping the feelings of his interlocutor.
"You want to go now, right?" ask Mila.
"Yes. I took a week off for my honeymoon to Bali" explained Adnan.
"Be careful on the road is Mas Adnan, Monika," said Mila.
"Yes" said Adnan.
Adnan and Monika put the suitcase in the car. Before leaving, Adnan approached his son and hugged him.
"Papa go first, baby. Take good care of yourself here. Go with grandma, and don't be naughty."
Aluna nodded her head.
"Papa be careful on the road."
"Yes dear."
Before leaving, Adnan kissed her forehead and onto her two cheeks. After that, Adnan got into his car followed by Monika who also entered the car. After that they also slide away from the house of Bu Retno.
