"Mak wants to go home." said Mak Nuha while cleaning the chicken.
"But Qeena can't go home anymore Mak. There are more orders to be made" Qeena said.
"Yes gapapa, you're here. Mom went home alone. Want to take care of Mbah just want to pull over for a moment" replied Mak Nuha.
"Don't dong Mak .. Qeena was worried that Mom would go home alone. Be patient later Qeena set the time, so Qeena can come" said Qeena.
"Emak is not a child. Mother misses the same parents, right they are also less healthy. Yes mumpung have time, Mom wants to take care of the parents, all of you want to find the location of the meatball stall again" Mak Nuha still insists on going home.
"Yes will be delivered with Mas Anto? Mak Imah also participated to nemenin Emak. Or invite Le Party can also" continued Qeena.
"Tomorrow, my mother came home, I promised Mbah to go home soon" said Mak Nuha.
"Don't tomorrow dong Mak .. Qeena hasn't bought anything for the family there. Mas Dafi also just came home later tonight, so Qeena has not told Mas Dafi" replied Qeena.
"Mom's time must be permission also the same Mas Dafi, there is also the opposite" protested Mak Nuha.
"It's not so Mak. Mas Dafi considered her a rich mother her biological parents. Must be worried if Mom comes home alone. You know how to protect it Mas Dafi. So let Mas Dafi set it up, get rich usually" said Qeena.
"Emak kanya a long time in the village, so do not take Mas Anto and Mba Party all deh, kasian they will have no activities there. Imah also rich want there to be events in his extended family, want no celebration, his sister's child Imah want to marry. Get a property entrepreneur, the wedding takes WO and in the building, so the wealth of families want to be involved to succeed the event. Imah is involved with her brother because Imah knows the same Omnya groom-to-be, well this Om who used to teach the bride-to-be to be a businessman" explained Mak Nuha.
"Mak's involved in Mom's niece's wedding?" ask Qeena to Mak Imah to convince.
"Yes .. Alhamdulilbaobbil'alamin .. Mother wants to be involved he said" replied Mak Imah.
"Yes thanks to Mak for slowly getting into the family and being accepted. Qeena was just worried that she wouldn't be accepted" Qeena said.
"So for a while Mommy wants to come, but because of a long time ya can not. Kasian Izma will have no friends at home. Alifa and you are busy. Kalila will also have to take care of Alifa again to campus" said Bu Fia to Qeena.

Mak Nuha wishes to go home more because he wants to heal. I've been tired of Iyus's drama for the past two months. Plus the health of his parents is declining. The death of Iyus again dawned on me that no one knew of his age. So while you can, Mak Nuha wants to take care. When I was young, Mak Nuha could not take care because he was still earning money and wandering with Qeena. Now the economic conditions are good and the time is also roomy to focus on parents.
According to the thought of Mak Nuha, Qeena was already there. There is a husband and family who love him very much. Besides there is Mak Imah who certainly can also help Qeena.
Dafi and Qeena did not allow Mak Nuha to return alone, finally Mas Anto, Mba Tinah and Mba Parti joined nganter and will stay a day in Wonogiri and will return to Jakarta. Mak Nuha will be in the village for almost a month.

Mak Nuha and Qeena's meatball efforts have also advanced, so there are plans to create more branches. Mak Nuha wants to find a place, the meatball profit money has been Mak Nuha collect and enough to open a simple meatball stall.
So the effort is indeed for the needs of the parents of Mak Nuha and the source of income of his brothers, but Mak Nuha and Qeena can get their share per month of net profit, the variety can be, and, but still five hundred thousand rupiah each.
The cost of living in kampung ga is as expensive as Jakarta, so one hundred thousand a day is enough to eat all day Mak Nuha family in Wonogiri with standard side dishes, the most important is the number because it is a lot that depends on the meatball effort.
Qeena sent money to her Mbah every month to help with her daily eating needs. If Mak Nuha fills up the electricity token and HP pulses of his parents, and a little money to hold if there is a lecture and presentation event. Mak Nuha did get a wage from helping Qeena, because Qeena wanted to run the business professionally, so the involved all got a part according to her work.
Qeena also did not use the shopping money given by Dafi every month. If you want to send it to Mbahnya, it is pure money from his business in Qukis by Qeena.

The next day, Mak Imah's turn to go to his brother's house for a week. Qeena allowed it, but still escorted Mas Narko to get there.
Qeena did not bring a hand to her family Mak Imah for fear of being rejected, but left the envelope as a condition for the two prospective brides.

After work, Dafi even played with Kalila in the back garden, Dafi tumben was at home at five because there was outside service and almost five o'clock happened to pass on the road to the house, so he got off in the middle of the street and didn't go back to the office.
"Mas .. What do you want to make?" qeena asked who came out of the production kitchen and kissed Dafi's hand.
"You are made a rich gini boy" Dafi's god.
Spontaneous Bu Fia pinched Dafi's hand.
"Aduhhhhh . peri Bun" said Dafi as he stroked his hand.
"Part of course Mas make Mother gemes aja" replied Bu Fia.
"Yes, yes, there is no Mak Nuha and Mak Imah" said Dafi.
"Even have time alone at home right Mas" ledek Alifa.
"Eh ... My sister-in-law has been able to digress .. when did her husband?" canda Dafi's.
"Ga need to talk about him mah Fa . abis dinner also closed the door of his house, did not receive guests" continued Bu Fia.
"We are never young, Bun .. hehehe" Dafi said, twisting his flirtatious eyes at Qeena.

"Yes that's the story of the late Mas Iyus. Kasian saw the pain" said Mak Nuha as he sat with his family after dinner.
"Kasian is also a horror. You have called to Enyaknya to say condolences, he repeatedly apologized to us. Kasian Enya is old, living alone " replied his Father Mak Nuha.
"Azab tuh sir, he would have thrown away his wife's child, sought after ngga, dinafkain moreover. If Qeena does not marry a rich person nor is he necessarily the same child admitted to him" said his brother Mak Nuha with his nyolot.
"It's good to say that, especially when the person has died. Azab or not we don't know. If you are angry, you must be angry too. But yes, there is also no one, who knows the sincerity we forgive him so lighten the way later" suggested his Father Mak Nuha.
The family continued to talk about many things. Including plans to open a meatball stall again.

This weekend morning, all Mak Nuha families have been busy to meatball stalls, usually will be rame buyers. Mak Nuha was going there, but not because he got a phone call, someone wanted to come home today. Mak Nuha seemed to rush into the kitchen then tidied up the house.
At about ten in the morning, two cars entered the yard of his parents' house, Mak Nuha. The only ones in the house were Mak Nuha and her parents.
The shiny black car with a large body is very familiar in the eyes of Mak Nuha, but the car is white, only the first time seen.
"Nuha ahead first sir, it was the guest who called" replied Nuha.
"Now also called an hour ago, has arrived, we have nothing to make a treat" said his father Mak Nuha.
"Nuha again steamed tiwul kok Pak, same warm tea. His name is us in the village, the food was simple, anyways impromptu also said it" replied Mak Nuha.
Mak Nuha went out of the house and greeted the guests alone.
"Assalamualaikum .." greet the guests.
"Girishavisalam .. Alhamdulillah sampe also hounded me" said Mak Nuha.
"Kan Aa' Zay has been here once .after all it is easy, from the big road just straight" replied Mr. Shaka.
"Monggo .. monggo .. go first in, the heat here, understand again the dry season" said Mak Nuha let his guests in.
All shook hands with his parents Mak Nuha and talked stale. Mak Nuha brought out a warm hot tea and tiwul that was still puffing smoke.
"Monggo tasting, the existence of ndeso food, sorry sober, impromptu Noah tau tau tau if there want a guest" said his father Mak Nuha mendemendah.
"So troublesome yes sir" replied Mr. Shaka.
"Our guest arrival was not a hassle but a windfall. Kan saraturahim extended the windfall" said his father Mak Nuha.
Mak Nuha sat next to her mother. Apparently Mr. Shaka came with his son, son-in-law and grandson. Mr. Shaka's grandchildren have been playing out of the house, so the mothers are busy keeping the help of the drivers. They saw a cow pen next to the house. Mak Nuha's parents raise cows for resale, there are three cows that people have ordered for Eid al-Adha, so only stay to take care of the cows until later the time is taken.
"When you have often seen cows, still curious" said Mr. Shaka.
"The name of the children .. always curious" replied his Father Mak Nuha.
"Mr Noah went home alone? tumben ga same Qeena" said Aa' Zay.
"Qeena there are many orders, besides I also have a long time in the village, this is already almost a week here" replied Mak Nuha.
"Enak ya Mak .. have relaxed where to go just walk. It's not my wealth that still bothers to take care of the children" said Aa' Zay.
"There will also be a time, enjoy it when the children follow us where we go, later if you have grown up, no one wants to come again. Especially if you are married, there is an obligation to take care of your husband" said Mak Nuha.
"Especially Dafi ya.. Gedenya baby Qeena, must be openi continue .. hehehe" joked Aa' Zay.
"Kaya who talks about her baby girl Erin. You mah casingnya okay, but dalemnya mah on spoiled" said Mr. Shaka.
Everyone laughed to melt the mood. After a light conversation. They started to look a little stiff.
"Mr .. Mother .. our purpose the group came here to open the prefix of friendship. Maybe Noah hasn't told Father Mother who I am. My name is Shaka. Today I bring my son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter. My son two and grandson want six. I have asked Noah for permission several times to get acquainted with his family but have not been allowed. Because I knew that Noah was back in the village, I ventured to make Sowan here. Don't get me wrong, sir, the son of this father is a good woman, not doing strange things in Jakarta. Maybe you are familiar with the name of my daughter-in-law, Aa' Zay" open Mr. Shaka.
"Oh yes .. Mas Zay is the one who helped Noah and Qeena, I am very grateful for all his help" said his Father Mak Nuha.
Aa' Zay just smiled and got a beard.
"I just go straight to the point, sorry if considered presumptuous. For a long time I discussed with Noah and my family, finally today I dare to come. I intend to further acquaint myself with Noah and his family, making him my companion if Noah pleases. I'm old sir, it's not time to mess around, so I need certainty" said Mr. Shaka.
Mak Nuha's parents were certainly shocked, because Mak Nuha never told me if there was an invitation from Mr. Shaka to build a housewife.
"Look at Mas (most Javanese, parents call Mas to the man who is the interlocutor, despite being younger than himself). To be honest, no one knew about Mas's relationship with our son, so we asked for time to answer Mas's request to get acquainted further. We need to discuss first" asked his father Mak Nuha wisely.
"Monggo sir . I also understand this. Surely Noah also needed to think carefully about my request. If it is allowed to continue, God willing I will ask your son officially, bring my extended family here" replied Mr. Shaka.
Mak Nuha was much silent, as it rumbled in her chest.
"In the meantime, Adhan Dzuhur, I want to go to the mosque. Later after returning from there, I took to the meatball stalls owned by Nuha and Qeena yes, this knowledge is impromptu, we have not prepared anything" said his father Mak Nuha.
"An interesting offer seems, Wonogiri meatballs are famous everywhere. I have never eaten Wonogiri meatballs in Wonogiriri directly" joked Pak Shaka enthusiastically.
"Well, we will feel, hopefully according to the tongue of the city people yes" replied his Father Mak Nuha.
"Sama aja Mbah about the tongue, there is no difference between a city or village. Moreover, our family is principled food is delicious just as good, so what is it. We are not shy about being offered food, there is shame" continued Aa' Zay.
"Good it . so no need to hesitate to enjoy the dish yes" replied his Father Mak Nuha.
🍒
The man went with his father Mak Nuha to the mosque. The women and children at home.
Half an hour later, they were already preparing to leave for the meatball stall located on a large highway.
Mak Nuha has already called her family to tidy up the top floor of the shophouse to receive guests (the upper floor became the residence of her brother Mak Nuha).
The car is parked in a minimarket near a meatball stall. Because of the same lunch hour, meatball stalls are quite crowded. Coincidentally next to the shophouse is still empty land, so Mak Nuha rented to be made a tent for those who want to eat meatballs on the spot (space to eat in the shop house ga much).
All ordered as desired. A complete meatball serving consists of four fine meatballs and one urate meatball or egg meatball served with yellow noodles and vermicelli. Not to forget, a pinch of fried onion and celery completes the dish, watered with warm kaldunya sauce and shaking the tongue.
"Enak Mak .. Why isn't it open in Jakarta?" puji Erin's.
"Ga kepenggang .. if there are many who fuss here" replied Mak Nuha.
"Bikin frozenlah Mak. kan meatballs are sold frozen, continue to make the flavor, just put the water into the water" said Aa' Zay.
"Aa' Zay it can not see there is an opportunity, directly yes the business idea of the road" ledek Mak Nuha.
"Yes the name wants to have four children Mak .. house needs must increase, so must be more diligent efforts" replied Aa' Zay who was enjoying the second bowl.
"Many children have a lot of windfall Aa' Zay .. sure enough" said Mak Nuha.
"Aamiin yes rabbal'alamin." answered Erin and Aa' Zay simultaneously.
