Dafi was immediately busy with his work, plus he had started college, so there was indeed a lot of time outside the house, so that togetherness with the family, especially with Qeena, was somewhat reduced.
Dafi went through the routine of returning from work at five in the afternoon directly to campus because he started college at seven in the evening until nine in the evening. Every Tuesday and Thursday. Since in Jakarta even often overtime in the office, most quickly until the house at eleven pm. Mostly Qeena had fallen asleep when she came home.
Their room on the second floor is neat, the exposed brick wall has been dicoating so that it is dusty, it has been from the beginning of the concept of Dafi like that, the concrete floor was not covered by ceramics only refined but not slippery. Now you could say the interior of the bedroom already looks very comfortable and makes both spend time in the room.
The upper part of the bed is on display for their wedding photos. The main light is round with a simple wooden frame. The existing window is indeed large because Dafi wants to enter a lot of air, so it was in the section for his desk Dafi and Qeena so that he did not use too much lighting from the lights and could see towards the pool and garden of his house Mr. Dzul.
Wardrobe and bed and nightstand a set with a simple wooden concept ala-ala wooden box commonly made containers. There is not much furniture in it because both want to look roomy. There is also a small minibar, filled dispenser, mini fridge, electric kettle and small oven. Made a minibar because Dafi likes to spend a long time in the room if the holidays so no need to go downstairs to take a drink. Qeena also provides coffee, sugar, tea and syrup in the minibar.

Qeena and Dafi had just played to Mr. Iyus' house after two weeks ago Rida was locked up.
They brought food and fruit as hands. Nyai is also special today to cook vegetables asem, salted fish, sambel and tempe fried.
"Alhamdulillah steady nih Nyai" praised Dafi.
"Just village cuisine, yeah this is it .. kaga is using chicken, what's the same meat snail?" Nyai.
"Seafood Nyai" replied Dafi.
"Well, yes, that's .." said Nyai.
"Take a step like this. Is not wrong if the cuisine of parents is authentic. Learn Neng as Nyai. Nih Mas to add to his meal" said Dafi.
"Oh so all this time Mas had to say delicious yes the same food Qeena?" qeena.
"Yes yang yang Neng .. I mean Mas tuh whose traditional taste is still felt. If now you have used instant spices, if this is still the spice itself is not formulated by the factory" explained Dafi.
"Emang bener tuh, today's children are very demennya use instant seasoning, on kaga kau ngerendos own seasoning" said Nyai.
"What is Ngerendos Nyai?" ask Dafi.
"Ngeracik and ngulek own spices" Nyai said.
"You are practically Nyai .. understand that children now have more time to play HP than busy in the kitchen" replied Dafi.
"It is" said Nyai.
"Healthy yes Nyai . so we can still play here" said Dafi.
"God willing to give Him the long life of Nyai Masakin. Nyai want to hold this for both of you. Nyai mah is not an ustadzah, but a lot of learning from the past. There is a kate peribase do not wait for testing in the sky, the aeronautics in the crockery are even stacked" Nyai said seriously.
"What does Nyai mean?" ask Dafi enthusiastically.
"Artinye do not have to take something more atawe more and still belonan clear, keep what we have even wasted. Ngarepin something mah may-can be aje but do not forget the same what we have now. Baek-baek was in married life, no one is perfect, accept everything as it is. The infected baek, which is not well-reformed" advises Nyai.
"Yes Nyai" replied Dafi and Qeena simultaneously.
"Jaga and be grateful for what we have" continued Nyai.
🌺
Dafi continued to chat with Nyai and his older brothers Iyus. Iyus talked to Qeena in the back of the house. Qeena was again observing the jackfruit tree, someone had already died, Nyai asked Iyus to take for Qeena.
Qeena separates the jackfruit and the jackfruit porridge in the container. He already wanted to eat jackfruit, so he didn't want to be in the smelling car later.
Qeena sat down on the bale under the jackfruit tree and Iyus sat there.
"More cravings?" open Iyus.
"Do you have to eat jackfruit?" ask Qeena.
"Ga, but the power is very strong" replied Iyus.
"Emang has long wanted, have not met the same handyman who sells traveling jackfruit. You see, Qeena has been to the market for a long time" explained Qeena.
"Papa would like to apologize." said Iyus seriously.
"Udahlah Pak .. discussion of the muters there aja" replied Qeena.
"You know you're disappointed and don't believe you want to change. Give Papa a chance" pinta Iyus.
"What opportunity sir? after all, Qeena is still playing and would like to talk to Mr. Gini rich. But if you ask to be called rich Mak Nuha .. sorry can't" said Qeena.
"Kok always his mind Papa just ask for money anyway? can't you have positive thoughts on Papa?" ask Iyus.
"Positive? from which side can Qeena always think positively of the Father?" said Qeena rada cynically.
"You are yes .. and you are dying. " said Iyus.
"About rich already a disobedient child, that's what you want to say?" cut Qeena.
Dafi approached the two.
"Panen nangka nih ." said Dafi who was sitting in the bale.
He saw that Qeena's face was slightly pouting while peeling the jackfruit, Iyus' face looked serious.
"Again in the state budget, huh? really serious about his face" ledek Dafi.
"Mas ..ajarin and his wife to be a real child" said Iyus.
"Qeena why sir?" ask Dafi not understand.
"People are sorry and want to change when they don't believe" Iyus replied.
"This is a dilemma yes relationship between the same father Qeena. So how is the Father, Qeena is also his son. Not that I'm going to interfere. Nasehatin Qeena and Mr. Kayanya mouth already often deh. Stay how the same Mr. Qeena both legowo aja. If you want to change, then change. It doesn't need to be announced all over the world, but let the world know that you've changed. Qeena is the same, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, our time is only a sinful servant will not forgive. Now I want to ask you, what exactly is the wedge between the two of you? who knows Mas can be in the middle" said Dafi while looking at the two.
The two were silent as Dafi waited for an answer.
"Everyone must have felt the bitterness of life, yes his name is human, strange if not during life never menggelewatin whose name is ordeal? If you still feel angry, sad and disappointed when you want to experience the past, maybe you still can not make peace with the past, can not move on. Not even difficult to move forward, because the emotional burden carried is too heavy?" continued Dafi.
Qeena still busied herself peeling in the jackfruit, Iyus still bowed silently.

"What happened to Iyus, who was kicep?" ask his brother Iyus.
"You have ... Iyus if he meets his handler yes" replied Nyaknya Iyus.
"Dafi is Iyus's handler?" his brother Iyus said.
"Iye .. if Nyak perhatiin mah if the same Dafi where dare he mess" said Nyaknya Iyus.
🌺
Qeena had finished the misahin of the jackfruit and its skin. His hand that was wrapped in plastic still got a little bit of jackfruit rubber. He was ready to use cooking oil near Bale. Cooking oil can moisturize your hands. So that jackfruit sap is easier to lift and clean. The trick is to apply on the affected area of the sap of jackfruit. Rub it slowly and the sap of the jackfruit will slowly rise.
"Consider the explanation and now go back to Mr and Qeena, please think of each, can you think of yourself?
The more trying to forget the same event, even the memory of the incident increasingly appears in the mind. All events can have different points of view, depending on how they are interpreted. Can you be like now without a forge? Qeena has a great fighting power because she knows to make sure something has to take the fight. Mr. Iyus too, for the umpteenth time fell in the same hole, but now it's starting to think right? maybe the current pair of Mr. Iyus is the best for Mr. Iyus. I heard if you started praying obligatory dijalain, want odd jobs as long as you can get halal money, so more time for the family. Everything happens for a reason. There’s always a rainbow after a big storm" said Dafi.
Qeena understood the meaning. If Iyus seems to think hard. He tried to fret about the time of still school learning English.
"Everything is all, what happens for a reason? long enough ah. But if rainbow means rainbow dah kalo kaga wrong. The others don't know anymore. Mantu gw mah yak . speaking of all use English again, already know my slow brain. Every English lesson was mostly sleep" Iyus said in his heart.
"Every thing we get is a ticket for us to become a better person" concluded Dafi.
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
On the way home, there was not much talk between Dafi and Qeena because Dafi was busy with the same college friends to do group assignments. They discussed the three online. Dafi uses his iPad for ngezoom. He's stuck on the front dashboard. When she accidentally appeared on the screen Qeena's face because she wanted to take the jackfruit from the back bench.
"Widih Danish .. very beautiful girlfriend, well again the way alone, gain known" praised her friend.
"Wife is not a girlfriend" replied Dafi.
"Doesn't Bro.. instead of Lo the youngest among us all who took the magister? two and seven, right? I am thirty unmarried" asked his friend in surprise.
"Yes, why? rich marriage at the age of now is very fitting" replied Dafi.
"Like Bro... ribet commitment gini day, mending enjoy the world first" said his friend Dafi.
"It is precisely this again to enjoy the beauty of the world with the wife" replied Dafi again.
"Yes too. uh try his wife Danish mambangkan dikit deh .. because the beauty of the delay .. hahaha" joked Dafi.

"That's Chef Ale, isn't it?" tanya Dafi saw Chef Ale standing in front of the car with the hood open. The driver Chef Ale again checked the condition of the car.
Dafi and Qeena who were abis from the minimarket bought juice also approached them.
"Is there a Chef problem?" ask Dafi.
"Eh Dafi .. Qeena . yes, no distarter" said Chef Ale.
The sound of his son Chef Ale crying from inside the car.
"The heat of the Chef times, move first to my car, then AC I turn on first, that's why I saw Chef Ale's car" bargained Dafi.
Because his two children Chef Ale was fussy hot, Ulay finally accepted Dafi's sari advice. They move to Dafi's car and are accompanied by Qeena in the car. Amora fell asleep because of the soy sauce, which the baby again drank breast milk.
🌺
Dafi saw Chef Ale's car engine.
"So parking near the BTS tower (Base Transceiver Station) huh?" ask Dafi.
"Yes sir" replied Chef Ale.
"Emang again rame discussed in the automotive world, the latest variant of Alfred car is equipped with keyless features alias just rely on the engine start button to start the engine. If the condition of the parking car adjacent to the BTS tower and the car has long been parked, the signal between the remote with the engine start button will be less strong. Both rely on high-power electromagnetic waves. Here Mas I teach you how to get rich gini again" invite Dafi.
Dafi headed for the driver's seat, Chef Ale and his driver followed and watched Dafi.
"the condition of the indicator light on the engine start button is a bit long turn on, position the remote slightly push the button but not too strong, because it can interfere with the synchronization process. First we close the remote position on the start button until the green indicator light turns on, after the green indicator light on the start engine turns on, along with pressing the smart key" Dafi suggested.
The car is on, Dafi is out of the car.
"Wait about fifteen minutes to make sure it can continue" said Dafi.
"You wait, I want to sit with Dafi" Chef Ale asked the driver.
Dafi and Ale sat on the front bench of the juice vendor. Chef Ale ordered the juice, Dafi was also ordered.

Ulay talks to Qeena.
"I've seen your sales medsos, the photos are good" Ulay said.
"That's my sister-in-law Mba who took pictures, I just uploaded it" replied Qeena.
"Your son has a photo team that's okay, photographer?" ask Ulay.
"Not Mba .. special need Mba. Only a few months ago I was able to find where my passion was. Alhamdulillah now take the course also so it can be edited as well" Qeena's story.
"Alhamdulillah yes .. Behind his misfortune, he has good potential" continued Ulay.
"Yes Mba" replied Qeena.
"I'm sorry I was suspicious if you were playing with my husband. Eh it turns out my husband is not able to see beautiful girls" said Ulay frankly.
"Father why Mba .. I also apologize for Mba prejudiced bad" replied Qeena.
"Dafi was great, he defended your pride until the intention met me to explain everything. May you become a team. Households must have been the problem. I used to be jealous, maybe gave birth so cape takes care of the children, the inn so mellow. How does Mas Ale offer to be a star in a Healthy Noodles ad?" ask Ulay.
"I rejected Mba. I want to focus on the cake shop online. While feeding capital so that you can open a small shop. Yes, maybe later you will take other courses to add knowledge first" said Qeena.
"Hard work is you, even though Mba saw a Dafi who can afford the cost of your life" said Ulay.
"Mba ..so long as I can work and my husband is happy with what I do, yes I will continue to achieve my dreams. It's good to be rich Chef Ale, can have effort and absorb a lot of labor" said Qeena.
"Let's reduce unemployment" Ulay said.
"One of them is Mba, but more to help mengebulin kitchen people. I have never experienced the kitchen is bubbling, so do not let people around experience the same thing. Ga my grandiose Mba, self-conscious if you do not have a large capital. So how can I benefit a large family, there are still shortcomings" said Qeena.
"Have you ever done a kitchen barbecue too?" ulay asked in shock, not expecting Qeena to be miserable.
"Alhamdulillah if cooking can be Mba. But rice is only for Mbah. I'm the same Mother eating cassava or yam in the garden. I SMP also have money, keep the grocery store has people. That's why Mba .I don't want any family to do the same thing" Qeena said.
"You're not in college?" ask Ulay.
"I dare not dream Mba, so I have no desire for college until now. I graduated from open school Mba. All levels of my education from Kindergarten to High School were all funded by Mba people. How can I afford to go to school at my own expense. School is free but it will buy uniforms, books and others" said Qeena seemed steadfast to tell her life.
"Yes Allah ..he is so strong that he tells the past without shame. As hard as I used to be, there was something even harder. I can still go to college and become a teacher, if Qeena only knows work to connect her life" Ulay said in her heart.
