Ninu lay on his bed, tilted his body so that it faced the wall. He was not sleeping, he was enjoying the pain he was feeling right now. How not, when he was down, his mother left him forever. Even Ninu could not watch the departure of his beloved mother, could not take care of her funeral and could not attend her ordination, he also let Ima face everything alone.
His heart was very angry at Ira. Wanted to curse and curse him. Even though he knew Ira was now in prison, it did not make his heart ache disappear.
O Allah.Why do You give the trials of life like this. I fought for my mother but I was not there beside her when she faced the sakaratul death. And even more painful, it was at that time that I was falling into a drug pit.
Ninu long enough lamented the passing of his mother and his fate. He felt that his life was always in pain. Since childhood, since he began to remember, his life has always been mediocre. Especially since his father died, his life is getting heavier by bearing the burden of supporting his mother and Ima. But that's all he lived with sincerity. But the mother's departure, she found it hard to recant.
“Bu is it okay to leave Ninu alone in the room? It's morning and she hasn't been out of the room since last night” Agis' voice worries her best friend. His eyes glanced at the clock on the wall which already showed at 6 am.
Agis and Ms. Sharif were in the kitchen preparing breakfast. Agis was making tea for all of them and coffee for her husband Arman, while the mother was seen making fried rice.
“Leave it first Gis. He needs time to calm his mind and heart” replied Ms. Syarif.
“But said doctor Ninu not to be left alone mom, afraid later he remembered the same drug it”
“Inshaallah will not Gis. I'm sure Ninu really didn't want the cure. She is a strong woman, not easily discouraged and will not drag on in grief. She would definitely think of Ima her sister” mother's explanation makes perfect sense to Agis.
It was true that Ninu was not a person who easily gave up and gave up. While people who can not be separated from drugs are usually people who do not have a strong soul.

Tok.dok…
“Ninu..”.Agis sound in front of room door Ninu, “Nin wake up. it's noon”.
Chequelek
Ninu's face appeared from behind the door. Agis looked at him for a moment, "Nin. It's noon, let's eat. You even missed breakfast earlier” take Agis gently.
Ninu nodded his head. He knew himself enough not to constantly trouble Agis and his family.
“I am in the water first yes Gis” sound Ninu slow.
After cleaning up Ninu approached the mother and Agis who was sitting at the dinner table was already getting ready for lunch.
“Ah...Ninu come here sit near mom” mother's hand waved then pat the chair next to her as soon as see Ninu come. Ninu approaching.
“Let's eat son, you must be hungry” continued mother. He saw Ninu's swollen face, his eyes were swollen. Mom's hand rubbed Ninu's back.
Agis spooning rice and side dishes for Ninu “Let's eat Nin”
Ninu did not talk much and began to eat with Agis and Miss Sharif until it was finished.
“Bu, Agis, Ninu want to apologize” Ninu's voice is almost inaudible.
“Apologies for what Nin?” mother asked in surprise, so did Agis.
“Ninu would like to apologize always troublesome and troublesome” Ninu bowed. Her tears without feeling back.
“Ya Allah.. mother guess why, you make a surprise mom aja” mother rubbed her chest, while Agis breathed a sigh of relief.
“We do not feel you are troublesome really.we are like brothers, mother already considers you like her own mother's son. We should help each other, right?” sharif's voice reminded Ninu of his mother who always calms when she is sad and agitated.
“Already Nin need not be a mind. I already consider you like my own sister. So no need to hesitate, ya” timpal Agis.
Mother's hand grabbed Ninu's shoulder and hugged him. Ninu was crying in mom's arms. The hug she needed all this time to shed the sadness and burden that rattled in her heart.
Mother's hand rubbed Ninu's head, “Have a child, don't keep your grief lingering. Poor brother. He still needs you. You have to be strong for him. Make your mother calm in nature there by realizing what your ideals and dreams”

“So what's your plan now Nin?” asked Agis who was sitting next to Ninu in the living room.
“I will go back to the village to make a pilgrimage to the tomb of mother and look at Ima. I also have to make sure Ima is okay” Ninu replied.
Ninu had already called with Ima and bi Tati, they were very relieved that Ninu finally knew about the departure of his mother and Ninu did not fall.
“But before that, I'll meet Ms. Sandra and Mr. Haris first. Because I don't know how long I'll be in kampung” Ninu continued.
Agis listening while the mangosteen. Heart's happy. This is Ninu, his feisty, unyielding best friend, and always has a plan.

Meanwhile in a different place, that morning Haris was sitting in front of his house in the pool. Sitting with coffee in his hand watching the employees who were busy working. Some of the kernets were cleaning the inside of the bus and some were washing the bus. While at the end of there he saw some drivers who were enjoying breakfast while chatting and laughing. They are so happy it seems.
For almost 5 years now Haris has been trusted by his father Hendrawan to manage PO. Kencana rays. And because of his firmness and cleverness in managing and looking for Haris relations managed to make this company he managed to advance rapidly. Now Haris already has almost three times the number of fleets than originally given by Hendrawan.
Her parents will come today. For a long time they did not come to this city and visited Haris because of Hendrawan's busy managing oil palm plantations and coal mines. Haris always visits them.
Haris plans to accept her parents in her small house in the pool. He really lives here. The single life made him feel no need to live in his apartment or in his large house on the outskirts of town. According to him, living here is more comfortable because it can work as well as supervise its employees.
At about 10 o'clock there was a private car that entered the pool, and stopped in front of the house. Soon the driver got down and opened the back door.
Hendrawan and Diandra got out of the car. Their smiles instantly expanded as soon as they saw Haris standing up in welcome.
Hendrawan is a native of Dumai while Diandra is from Jakarta. Diandra's father was Javanese who had a wife who came from Italy, therefore Diandra's face looks kule-bulean. And it's down to Haris. Haris face is a blend of oriental faces Indonesia with western. No wonder Haris looks handsome with a tall and sturdy body. In addition to her clever posture it causes her to be very respected by her relationships and admired by women. But his cold and firm demeanor made the women retreat slowly.
“Haris, honey...” Diandra's voice accompanied by her arms that stretch to embrace, “Mama kangen once”
Haris returned her mother's embrace warmly
“How are you doing ma, pa?” tanya Haris put her mother's shoulder on.
“We are fine” replied Hendrawan smiling, “How are you doing?” asked Hendrawan while circulating his gaze around the pool.
“Ah papa, don't ask that first” voice Diandra interjected, “Come we let go of longing first with our child. Business affairs we talk about later”
“Iya yes... hehe, this instinct ma” Hendrawan chuckles.
The three of them entered the house and sat in the living room. Before long a waiter came with a few glasses of drink and bottled mineral water, then came back again with a few jars of cake.
