''Assalamualikum .... spada .... mamah...'' Gea entered his house with a shout.

Ara jiggled with the behavior of her best friend.

''Waalaikum salam''' the voice says from within . Before long out middle-aged mothers but still look beautiful. ''who is this very beautiful.'' he continued by paying attention to Ara.

'' Ara aunty friend of Gea, can Ara play here auntie?'' said Ara asking permission.

'' The courtesy. Until whenever possible, rarely Gea there are friends playing at home."

''Mamah what the hell..not just kita aja who often move around not netap, just know already moved.'' sukut Gea.

''And risk your father Ge's work, bring Ara in. Take a meal first there and continue talking again.'' said mama Gea.

Ara was in Gea's room, planning to watch the drama. There was a noise from the house next door, which could be heard because the house was one with the other.

''Why Ra? … wonder yes?... this is not how much. if Raga is at home must be more than this. I'm the only one who hears bored, but they're just plain.So I follow along with you." explained Gea.

'' So next door is Kak Raga Ge's family home?… Really close to you guys."

'' Deket barren you, I once told you that I never even met with him. Actually not only Raga as maya his sister I never talk. The strange family. They tend to make rames in the house rather than gathering neighbors.''

'' He meant.'' Ara was getting curious about the Raga family story.

" Hear the story of the mother's stepmother and Maya and Tomi's brother was her mother's son and Raga's father's son. And these children never get along well always noisily, the proof you hear yourself, right?…Among us Raga's family even often talk to my mom? weird right . don't ask me too herman ..eh wonder that. "

''You can ask your mom if you're curious."

Gea frowned, don't you tell me to ask dodol……!! and you know what my mom's answer is?" Ara shook her head.'Pity mama only remember your brother . It's."

Tok tok tok tok tok tok

''You entered, right?'' his permission.

'' I am Aunty.'' replied Ara.

''Try rasain sponge made by aunty delicious you know ! it's Gea's favorite too." mama Gea thrust her homemade sponge into Ara. Ara grabbed one and ate it right away. And it's really good sponge made by Mamah Gea.

''Auntie son, can I have a recipe? ara was taught to him sometime, Tan?"

''Do you really want to learn to make cakes? … Can you really cook ? it is beautiful to be able to cook. Huh not like the onoh, noh'' show mamah to Gea with eyes.

''what a seh mah, not really masakin masakin his son.'' Gea sumpul.

Ara envied the familiarity of Gea and her mother and became sad to remember her dead mother." If Mama Ara still there surely Ara will also like Gea, Auntie."

"Aunty is sorry. Ra's? you are sad about gini. Gea says your mom is dead, huh? , sorry Auntie, Ra?

'' ye.. mamah ruined the atmosphere. So melo kan.. '' rfor Gea.

''No daddy Auntie has been a long time too.''

''Here Aunt hug" mamah Gea spread out her hands, Ara mixed up Mamah Gea's embrace, Making Ara's feeling warm. This is what it feels like to be hugged by my mom.

Ara and Gea were watching the drama of the mother also followed the watch.

''Gea told me that Ara deket huh? sama Raga.'' said mamah suddenly.
