" What plan?" ask Bayu.
" I haven't thought about it yet, tomorrow I will announce it at the market." replied Medina grinned.
" What are you talking about?" adam asked confused.
" No, no need to discuss. I want to cook first, later after I pick up Daddy just help you cook the catering." said Medina.
" Thank you, dear Meong." said Adam with a careless smile.
" Go home, I'll go to the kitchen first."
" Ok, we'll say goodbye. Assalamu'alaikum,"
" Na'alaikumsalam."
Medina began to mix spices to cook vegetables and other side dishes. Although the relationship still has not improved on his father, but as a child must remain devoted to his parents.
When alone like this, Medina suddenly remembered with Rifky. For some reason, the man always rubbed his heart.
" Didn't Rifky remember me? Since he left, there has been no message from him." murmured Medina.
Medina became embarrassed herself because it turned out that Rifky was just playing with her feelings. There's no way a guy like him hasn't got a girlfriend in town. Even Medina had no idea what Rifky was doing right now. Maybe he's married, he's lying and Medina won't know.
" Forget Rifky!" peekik Medina was upset.

At night, Medina sat pensively on the porch in search of a fresh breeze before going to bed. Her body was a little tired after helping her mother Adam cook and deliver catering.
The time had already shown ten o'clock at night but Medina was still reluctant to enter the house. Medina is still thinking about how to improve the state of the market that is increasingly unsafe.
" Assalamu'alaikum, dear Calis."
Medina who was daydreaming jumped in shock to hear someone greeting her.
" Astaghfirullah...!" peekik Medina's.
" O Allah, there are people who say the greeting was answered instead of istighfar" said Rifky who had stood before Medina.
" Eh, sister... Brother Rifky, when is it coming?"
" Did you miss me?" god Rifkys.
" Hhh...no! Why come back here? Isn't it more convenient in the city?"
Medina who had always thought about Rifky, now even became upset when she met him in person.
" Hey... I came home from missing you,"
" Go there! Dinah wants to be alone."
Rifky looked at his little girl who seemed to be angry with him. He was confused by himself what was wrong with him so that his girl would not look at him in the slightest.
" What's up, Calis? Was there a problem when my sister left?"
" No, go home."
Rifky pulled Medina's arm to get closer to him out of curiosity about the girl's ugly demeanor.
" www...!" peekik Medina's.
Rifky punched the scar of a knife wrapped in bandages. She didn't know because Medina was wearing a jacket.
" Wait, didn't your arm heal yesterday?"
Rifky forces Medina to take off her jacket because the man suspects that there are other injuries. Although the girl continued to rebel, Rifky was still stronger than her.
" What other injury is this?" Rifky looks really angry.
" It's none of your business! What do you care about me for? You're no one - who doesn't care." ketus Medina.
" Ok, if that's what you want I won't care about you anymore." said Rifky flatly.
Rifky just left Medina who would not look at him at all. He'll figure out for himself why his little girl is being rude again.

Kumandang adzan shubuh echoed throughout the village where Medina lived. The girl immediately got up to grab a wudlu and pray the dawn prayer. His father had left for Mushola from before the Adzan reverberated.
Medina took a quick glance from her bedroom window at Rifky's room on the second floor of Jamal's house.
" I'm sorry, instead of Dina being mad at sister. But Dina doesn't want to expect more from our closeness. Dina realizes we have a very far difference in terms of anything. Dina does not know what the life of the brother is like today, maybe already have a lover or wife. Dina should be able to get away from Rifky's sister." Inner Medina.
While in Mushola, Rifky stopped Bayu's steps after praying together. He wanted to know what was really going on with Medina.
" Bayu, wait a minute" said Rifky.
" What's up, brother?" sahut Bayu's.
" I want to ask you about Medina. Did he brawl again yesterday?"
" So his arm got hurt again in the same place?"
" Sorry, brother. Medina should not be involved in something like this. I can't take good care of him."
" I've only been gone two days but he's been hurt. What is your life purpose?"
" Hadewh.for people like us this never has a purpose, brother. Enough to walk like running water."
" That's called pessimism!" Rifky patted Bayu's head with his peck.
" Hehehee. for a little person like us, that hope is just a dream that will disappear when the eyes open."
" You are still young, by trying hard it is certain that the dream can be achieved. Not because your parents are not capable, you also follow in their footsteps" said Rifky.
Adam and Johan had also been sitting between them listening to Rifky's advice which had been unthinkable in their minds.
" Well, big brother, Rifky's thinking is very broad." praise Adam.
" Oh yeah, you guys got a show this morning?" ask Rifky.
" We're actually going to the market, brother. From today, Medina is the ruler of the market and the streets after defeating the thugs yesterday" Bayu said.
" What...?!" yelled at three other people at the same time.
" What do you mean, Bay?" Rifky.
" So, brother_..."
Bayu told me everything he experienced yesterday with Medina until finally the girl decided to become the ruler of all the thugs in the market and the streets.
" Athaghfirullah, how could he do that? If Uncle Hasan knows how?" Rifky.
" Look easy, brother. Although we have always looked like delinquents and brutals, but even though we never did anything that broke the rules. I believe Medina has big plans to improve the market and street order. Bayu please, Rifky sister supports Medina huh? From my vision of knowing Medina, only Rifky's sister can make her melt and obey" Bayu said.
" I don't understand what you're saying,"
" Just a few days with Rifky, Medina has started to show her attention to the teacher. He's not as old as talking to his father."
" You guys should be Medina's friends and you should be able to change her for the better" Rifky said.
" But I think only Rifky's sister can change Medina. He is very stubborn and unruly even though his IQ is honestly high" Johan said.
" Yes, then we meet Medina after her father goes to school" Rifky said.
" For what, brother?"
" We should know Medina's plan for market management. Don't let him take the wrong step."
" So, brother!"

After taking her father to school, Medina went straight home and prepared - ready to go to the market. But he was surprised because his four friends and also Rifky had sat on the porch of his house.
" Assalamu'alaikum" said Medina.
" Na'alaikumsalam."
" Mmm... Why are you so early in the morning at my house?"
" Sit down here and talk!" Rifky.
" For a moment, go inside first." said Medina.
As Medina walks into the house, Rifky follows her. He did not like being ignored by his little girl.
" Medina, wait!" call Rifky.
" What brother came in?"
" I have something to talk to you about."
" Later on, Dina no longer wants to talk to her sister."
" Why are you so angry with me? Don't just shut up like this, brother doesn't know what you want."
" Dina is not angry, I have no right to be angry with Rifky."
Rifky pulls Medina's body into the girl's room. After which, Rifky hugged Medina tightly. There are no words he says at this time. Only his warm embrace was able to tear down his little girl's anger.
