"Have you ever met that kid, Riswan?" ask Rusli again.

"I'll excuse you first, Auntie." said Faisal then grabbed his backpack.

"Be careful on the street, son." Azizah ordered flatly.

"Yes, Auntie." Faisal replied politely and then parted with courtesy.

Ichi was just about to rise, forced to abandon his intentions because he was glared at by his own mother. With a sour face, the girl was forced to languish on the sofa. Azizah led Faisal to the door.

"I'll excuse you, ma'am." she said goodbye. "Assynoltom..."

"Wa aleikum salam wa rahmatullah." replied Azizah.

"There, I'm a lesbian, Umi." Ichi replies and laughs while Azizah is shocked.

"Oh, astagfirullah!" exclamation Azizah. "Are you the answer?!"

"Yes it is Umi." said Ichi casually. "Friendship with boys is also necessary, so that we can know the character of boys in general. If only friends with girls, there are even stuck in same-sex relationships."

"Uhm... Umi knows that you have issued various prayers in your rhetoric, just to defend the boy earlier, right?" search Azizah then squinted her two eyes. "Be careful, Ichi.every action is based on motive."

"Just like Umi." said Ichi then got up and left Azizah alone in the guest room. []
