The wooden box opened by itself along with several photos and also a small book that immediately fell scattered at Anan's feet.
" Don't touch "
Anan quashed the desire to reach for the photo sheet and the booklet, when Mr. Budi's screams sounded from the front door of his room.
" The father of "Budi ignored Anan's surprised call, and immediately picked up the photo sheets and books and then put them back into the wooden box.
" That's what Dad? " The face of Mr. Budi turned grim, when Anan asked, without answering Mr. Budi also rushed to walk away from Anan's room while hugging tightly the wooden box.
From the sweat that was seen when Mr. Budi picked up the photo and the book earlier, Anan could confirm that his father was coming home in a hurry.
Seara's suspicions grew even more, as Seara caught a glimpse of a face very similar to Anan and a young woman in a picture that had almost faded in color were standing side by side.
" What is Om Wibi? " Bisks of Seara's heart. " Sea "Sea Reverie was paid when Anan called out to her while touching Seara's right shoulder made her screech surprised.
" why? " Seara shook her head answering Anan's question.
" I took a shower first Mas "Anan nodded slowly, and Seara rushed out of the room with her change of clothes to the bathroom.
A quiet atmosphere adorns the dining table as dinner progresses. Since returning home earlier or more precisely after the incident the wooden box fell earlier, Pak Budi more silent. Only occasionally asked the greeting question that Seara and Anan asked earlier.
" Dad "Call Seara slowly, when Pak Budi was seen just scrambling the contents in his plate, and only occasionally bribe the food in his plate.
" Is Dad not feeling well?." Ask Seara who was repaid by a small smile.
" No son, Dad is fine" replied Mr. Budi and then returned to bribe food.
" Is there something you're thinking? " Budi looked at Anan for a moment and shook his head slowly.
" If there's anything you think, share with us, don't take it upon yourself. Anan also Sea did not want Dad to be sick because he thought of something "Said Anan, Pak Budi seemed to sigh slowly and then nodded slowly.
" I'm sorry, Dad has finished eating his "Seara and Anan look towards the plate of Pak Budi who still looks leftover food, but usually Pak Budi always spends his food, but usually Pak Budi always spends his food, especially if Seara is cooking. Anan's father could add side dishes many times.
" I'm sorry, Father Ara, tonight I'm not finishing the dishes you made "Say Mr. Budi regretted.
" It's okay Dad, like his Dad is tired, better Dad just rest first " Mr. Budi nodded slowly then left the dining room to his room and then heard the door closed and in the key from inside.
" It's like there's something you think of " said Anan.
" It's better that Mas wait for Dad to talk first, and don't force Dad to reveal what he's thinking "Anan nodded in response to Seara's words.

Seara just said there would be his Papa best friend who wanted to visit to discuss business with Seara and Anan, which is why Seara deliberately cooked a pretty much lunch dish.
" Miss Ara, why did Mr. Wibi want to play here, when did Mr. Pras and Miss Ara not relate anymore? " Mr Yuni asked in surprise while helping Seara cook lunch.
" His name connects the cords of Ma'am, separated from Me and Mr. Pras is no longer related, but considering Papa and Om Wibi are friendly, he said, so Ara thinks of Om Wibi as her Papa Ara also "Answer Seara, Ma'am Yuni smiled as she heard Seara's words.
" Mister Pras is stupid, yes Non, releasing Miss Ara for the sake of jackfruit maggots like Bu Clara. I feel sorry for Mr. Wibi, who betrayed his son and his wife "Say Mbak Yuni was anxious when considering Pras's betrayal also Clara to Seara especially Pak Wibi.
" Although Mbak pity the same Mr. Wibi, but Mbak is grateful because Miss Seara finally can find a soul mate who is much better than Mr. Pras " said Ms. Yuni sincerely.
" Thank God Ma'am, that's his name I take out the trash but get the gift of "Seara's greeting in the laughter of Mbak Yuni and also Seara himself.
" But sorry Non, why did Mbak see Pak Budi since he came earlier look less excited huh? " Tanya Mbak Yuni.
" Father just sauces Mbak "Answer Seara.
" I am ahead first yes Mbak "Seara Speech after finishing cooking on the dining table.
" Yes Miss, please "Mak Yuni continued her activities cleaning their used cooking equipment earlier.
" Have you finished cooking, dear? " Anan asked when he saw Seara approaching him also Mr. Budi who was on the porch of the house was chatting with Mr. Agung and Mr. Slamet.
" Yes Mas, the coffee want to be added again Fathers? " Seara said while asking when she saw the coffee glass that was on the terrace table was only the remaining dregs.
" No need to Nak/Miss" replied Mr. Budi, Mr. Agung and Mr. Slamet simultaneously.
Moments later it appears that Mr. Wibi's car entered the courtyard of the Seara house which was deliberately opened by Mr. Agung, because Seara said there will be guests who come to visit so the fence of the house better not be closed so as not to bother.
Seara glanced at Mr. Budi who was watching the car that stopped in front of the terrace, because if the Seara car holiday is always in the garage. Mr. Budi looked surprised to see Mr. Wibi coming out of the back seat of passengers.
" Binggo" Mumbled Seara inwardly when he saw Mr. Wibi was equally surprised when he saw Mr. Budi. But as much as possible Mr. Wibi hid his surprise to see Mr. Budi, and it was proven by reviewing a smile when saying greetings to Seara and others.
" Assalamu'alaikum "Greetings to Mr. Wibi.
" Waalaikumsalam " Reply greeting Seara, Anan, Pak Budi, Pak Slamet and Pak Agung together, and they also greet each other alternately, until the last Pak Budi.
Mr. Wibi thrust his right hand to Mr. Budi, but like his Mr. Budi reluctantly welcomed Mr. Wibi's hand, and it was clearly seen in the eyes of the others.
They shook hands but Mr. Budi was seen looking at Mr. Wibi with a hateful gaze.
" How is Bang Hendra? "
