One week has passed, during which time Riana always exchanged messages with Alvin. Although until now, he does not know if the account whose name is Vino alone is an account belonging to Alvin.
During that time also Riana and her friends sell mixed ice every afternoon assisted also by Vino.
"Alhamdulillah, the money that we have accumulated for one week" said Riana.
They are now in a post near his shop.
"Certainly the plan is we're gonna do what's the money?" ask Vino who still does not know their plans.
"We plan to donate some of it to the orphanage, and some of it we share with the orphans and old people who are around us." Deni explained the plan that they did every year.
"But we have to confirm the same, RW sir. The possibility of increasing in number, and we also do not know how many old parents are still there," he said.
"Let's see, I took Joseph to the RW man's house to find out the number of orphans and old men in RW here, and the three of you counted how much money was collected. After we get all the data, then we divide about how much for orphans, how much for old parents, then the rest we donate to the orphanage." Vino explained what was on his mind.
"This time I agree with Vino. If last Ramadan we halved the result, now we find out the amount here first, and then we go to the rest of the money!" saut Deni chimed in Vino's remarks which he thought Vino's idea was quite brilliant.
"Well, if that's the final decision, we'll wait for you at home!" riana glanced at Yusuf and Vino.
They also broke away from the post. Riana, Keisya and Deni go to Riana's house. While Yusuf, and Vino went to the house of RW sir.

"Morning, Mah," said Stella.
"Beauty, where is Chika?" reply Maya she drowned looking for the whereabouts of her granddaughter.
"Chika was playing a bicycle with Farhan, Mah." replied Stella sat her ass on the front porch chair while looking at the mother who was watering her ornamental plants.
"Tumben won't come? usually he is the most excited if he will come here, let alone Alvin, he added.
"I also had time to ask so, he said he was angry with Alvin because Alvin did not want to introduce his beautiful Aunty to Chika."
"Aunty's beautiful? who's emang?" mama asked, and she sat down near Stella.
"Said Chika, Alvin had called the woman a beautiful ghost. They met when we were in Bandung, and Alvin took Chika to the stall at night."
"Eh wait a minute! how come I just ya, at that time I told Alvin to go to a stall in the kolan." Stella only realized, if what Chika meant when they just delivered Alvin to Bandung.
"Ah yes, mama also remembered, and you know, coming home from there Alvin smiles continuously like crazy," Mama chimed with enthusiasm.
"And before coming home from the stall had to turn off the lights," said Stella.
"That means the woman Alvin likes his son Pak Yanto." Mama Maya is very sure if it's her son Yanto, their friend when in the village first.
Maya had already smiled, if her guess was correct, it meant that she would get the ghost she hoped for. Maya used to hope that one of her children could match with one of the children of her husband's best friend.
"Mama why? crazy love is the same as Alvin?" stella was confused.
"Huusstt, it's so good that Mama is crazy! Mama only feels happy if Alvin likes the woman he's going to be with."
"What's? so the woman Mama was talking to me about was Mr Yanto's son?" stella asked in shock but was also happy.
"Yep."
"Alhamdulillah, if that's what I agree with Mama."
They are so eager to match Alvin with Riana, because they know if the Riana family is a good family and certainly their family is very humble even though they include people who are quite in their village.

Bandung
Vino and Yusuf are already at RW's house. They spoke seriously about the plans they agreed on.
"I agree, but has this been approved by RT?" ask RW sir.
"Not yet."
"It."
Vino and Joseph answered simultaneously.
"Suf, did you say that? haven't we talked to RT?" vino asked confusedly.
Mr. RW and Yusuf had already put on each other's smiles.
"At asked even smiles are not clear, strange basis," hebik Vino annoyed.
"When's it?"
"Almost every day at Riana's house."
"Riana's house? you mean Mr Yanto the father of RT?" asked Vino to confirm and also be shocked.
"Yes" said compact Yusuf and Mr. RW.

Riana's House
Now they had all gathered together, again discussing what they had planned.
"Thank God, it's all over. So let's share this with those in need! we're going to the orphanage!" said Riana.
"Are we not selling anymore?" ask Vino.
"For now we'll take a day off, Vin. Once a week we have a holiday and we will distribute this money to them, then we will bukber in the orphanage" said Deni.
Vino nodded his head in understanding, after all was ready they immediately handed out a white envelope containing some money. He continued to leave for the orphanage that they had previously prepared food for all of them along with the residents of the orphanage.

Orphanage
Riana and her friends are warmly welcomed by the residents of the orphanage. They are so enthusiastic when there is Riana, even children scrambling to each other want in Riana's embrace.
"Darling, don't fight that! I'll hug you guys."
"Yes ka," they said compactly.
Riana crouched down but then she was assaulted with a hug from the whole thing. Riana laughed happily amidst the crowd of the orphanage children, and it did not escape the view of Vino who was increasingly amazed by Riana's kind, humble, and loving personality.
Riana stood up again after they were satisfied hugging Riana.
"Teh Riana, how are you?" ask Ms. Retno the owner of the home.
"Alhamdulillah, ma'am," replied Riana.
"When it was only two weeks ago that you came here." Ms. Retno smothered her own mouth because of the slip.
while Riana was also shocked when the owner of the parlour opened his secret.
"Two weeks ago? so you come here often without our knowledge?" ask Keisya who was also shocked.
"Why don't you take us?" deni timpal.
"Tau nih, even playing hide and seek" said Yusuf.
Riana was just a whimper, displaying her white teeth. And he also explained why he did not want to tell his activities to others. Let the right hand know, the left hand know not.
Riana often visits the home every month, she also often gives money from the proceeds of the sale of cakes she put in her stall without anyone knowing except the family of one house. Actually when Riana sells brownies on the street is her first sale that comes out of her comfort zone.
Vino was more amazed, without him knowing, he fell into his charms Riana.
Now they are lined up to watch the children of the orphanage are so happy full of laughter.
Riana was in the middle of Deni and Yusuf, Keisya was to the left of Deni and Vino was to the right of Joseph. Bu Retno is on the right side of Vino.
"It turns out that sharing is beautiful, the first time I give them help my heart feels peaceful and happy if they are happy" said Riana.
"That's where I started thinking, there are still a lot of less fortunate people in this world than us."
"I always try to help them as much as I can, sometimes there are still many people who like to be indifferent to those who are less able. Even a little help from us can make them happy." Riana continued with teary eyes, she imagined a little child who felt hungry, had no place to live, did not even have a family.
Deni and Yusuf embrace Riana from the side strengthening each other.
Share it while you can.
Share it while you can.
Little of your wealth will be your zariah charity for the rest of your life to heaven, aamiin.
