"Makasih Mas" said Iyus sumringah.
"I want to drink some herbs first, will you come?" bargain Dafi who happened to stop in front of his subscription herbal stall.

"Eh Mas Dafi .. long time no look .. prospective doctor also nih ... where the hell is it?" ask the herbalist.
"Prospective doctors are busy with their doctor's degrees, if I am now serving across the island, this is also the time to go home to see family" explained Dafi.
"Emang in Jakarta has already run out of job vacancies what should Mas sampe cross the island?" ask the herbalist.
"I'm depending on the placement of Bang. Yes there is a chance, take a call" replied Dafi.
"Oh that's it Mas . but Mas Dafi's sad there, even contains a little body" said the herbalist.

"Can ae Bang ... The person is serious as well, even kidding .. hahahaha" Dafi replied as she finished her feast.
After paying for the herbs, Dafi headed for his car. Iyus has been home since. As soon as he got in the car, Dafi's eyes caught a sight that was bothering him. Iyus was holding a mother's hand.
Dafi got down from the car and helped release Iyus' hand.
"Sir Iyus this is what the hell? This old mother is still being bullied" said Dafi angrily.
"It's not a family affair" Iyus said.
"But don't use violent dong" bela Dafi.
As he saw the face of this Mother is familiar, remember again who this Mother.
"I have known yes ... but who do? .. I do not remember" said Dafi.
"It's Mas Dafi, right? who used to help me, anterin me to the family home" said Mak Imah who hesitated as well.
"Oh .. yes ... Mak Imah ... long time no see, where are Mak night-night gini?" ask Dafi.
"You buy herbs, Mom's feet hurt" replied Mak Imah.
"Well, do you know this guy?" ask Dafi while pointing towards Iyus.
"Ga .." replied Mak Imah indifferently.
"Eh .. pretend you don't know anymore" said Iyus annoyed.
"Sir Iyus can go first? don't be so familiar. Mak Imah has told you that you don't know" throw out Dafi.
Iyus went away cursing. Dafi drove Mak Imah to the herbalist first.
"Why did you go back to Dafi? is anyone missing?" ask the herbalist.
"What are you, ma'am?" ask the herbalist.
"My feet are sick" replied Mak Imah.
The herbalist mixes herbs for Mak Imah.
"Aren't you going to the doctor?" ask Dafi.
"Three days ago to Puskesmas, tomorrow Mother take X-rays at the big clinic on the side of the road" said Mak Imah.
"Keep the doctor saying why his leg?" dafi said seriously.
"I was asked to orthopedic he said he made clear, which is clearly the effect of falling from the motor, the possibility of a bone that shifted but never Mother Rada from the first, and then, well relapse again peg Emak fell many times become more feeling now pain" explained Mak Imah.
"Is there money for you to make to the doctor?" ask Dafi carefully.
"There ... My mom is trading. The mother just wants to heal, will nyari the child of the mother" said Mak Imah while shedding tears.
"Patience yes Mak .. much do'a aja may Allah meet the child of Mother. Keep praying for him wherever he is, if he can not meet in this world, may God meet in the afterlife later" said Dafi.
"Aamiin yes rabbal'alamin .. Mother misses him .." said Mak Imah.
"Emak has a photo or what? now is the era of social media, try to share there, who knows can meet" said Dafi.
"Emak doesn't understand playing social media, the only thing Mom had a photo of when she was born. Abis's mother is busy with self-indulgence without taking care of him" continued Mak Imah.
"Not bothered about it either... Dafi also can not help Mom, because Dafi works not in Jakarta, here only three days" explained Dafi again.
"Now where does Mas Dafi work?" ask Mak Imah
"On the River Full Mak .. Jambi province there, across his work" said Dafi.
Dafi drove Mak Imah to his house after looking around if Iyus had not looked over.
"Do you know Mr. Iyus?" ask Dafi again.
"Ngga" replied Mak Nuha lying.
"Why did he take Mom's hand?" dafi said astonished.
"You nyopet times" said Mak Imah.
"The time is .." said Dafi still confused.

"Qeena ... I hope you know who Damar is and who you are. The future of our family is on Damar's shoulders. His father wants to retire. His brothers all work, but still not well established. We parents hope that our efforts can move forward, so that it can sustain the lives of our children all. The future of Damar can be said to be bright, he is a smart child, possibly even higher school after graduating from college. We want a suitable companion Damar, who can compensate for it later. You are just a broken home child, only have a mother, never want to tell who you really are. Which parent is willing to release his child into the family is not as clear as you. We didn't look at Qeena's treasure, you're a good boy. But why don't you and Nuha tell me who you are? can you guarantee you're from a good family?" his mother said Damar while chatting in a pineapple garden saung.
Her mother Damar invited Qeena to meet before next Sunday the Damar family would propose to Qeena and propose an engagement while waiting for three more years to get married.
"Bu .. I have rejected Kak Damar many times. Just one reason I can't commit, I don't want to get married. But his Father Damar and Pak Shaka were half forced to accept this engagement plan. Mom is actually very confused, on the one hand, Mom is afraid I am hurt by men, but on the other hand Mom is worried that I am not normal with hating men. Not that I'm not polite .. please cancel a plan to tie me in the engagement rope with Kak Damar, not going where Bu our relationship if I myself do not like the same man" qeena said firmly.
"But you're not a same-sex lover, are you?" ask Damar's mother.
"Maybe it's better for people to think of me that way than I have to find a reason why I don't want to marry a man" Qeena said.
Erin who had met with a client who wanted to take pineapple from the garden, did not accidentally hear the talk of her mother Damar and Qeena.
"You're the one who's trying to find an excuse to let Damar go crazy and cancel to get engaged" Damar's mother's idea.
"What reason do you want, ma'am? sexually disoriented by saying I like same sex? or do I ask for a lot of property as a condition of marriage so that my family thinks I matre? Or say I am a child whose origins are unclear so it will bring problems later? I'm just a Homeschooling graduate for the services of Mom's niece while Kak Damar is a bachelor candidate?" challenge Qeena.
"Ga thought yes... all this time quiet and sweet-looking everyone turns out there is no mouth adab, talk the same old man like that .. no polite!!!!" said Damar's mother while leaving Qeena.
Tears were dripping down both of Qeena's cheeks. Tears that he held to look strong in front of his mother Damar.
"Qeena ..." call Erin while patting Qeena on the shoulder.
Hurriedly Qeena wiped her tears to make her look the same as Erin.
"Nangis aja Qeena .. sometimes the water turns us quieter. Sorry I heard your conversation. Maafin also Tanteenya Aa' Zay" said Erin slowly.
Qeena hugged Erin, with Erin's affection rubbing Qeena's head.
"Prophe Qeena ... Teteh was once in your position, once despised by his parents Aa'. Teteh know you are talking about it to damage your good image in front of Damar's parents because you do not want to be engaged to Damar" continued Erin.
"Yes Tea ... Qeena has said she does not want a fiancee .. why do not all understand" said Qeena in tears.
"Mak Nuha is worried about your trauma Qeena. Aa' Zay also convinced Mak Nuha if you need to be tied up first to know there is a good man in this world, namely Damar. The purpose of this engagement is actually as therapy for you Qeena .. you are sick .. you must be able to learn to fall in love, not all men are evil. Open your eyes Qeena, that soul mate is a reflection of who you are. Teteh believes you are a good child, there will be a good man for you" Erin advised.
"Ga Teh .. if Mother maksa ... Qeena wants to escape" said Qeena.
"Did blurring solve this problem? Can you leave a mother who fought to raise you? although Teteh does not know exactly who you are, but Mother has saved you from the crazy lives of both of your biological parents who do not care about you" Erin recalled.
