After the Maghrib prayer, all out of their rooms for dinner, although only a little because later will also barbeque outside.
While passing through the living room, Medina heard the sound of people on the terrace. He stopped his steps to make sure that his hearing was not wrong.
" Why baby?" ask Rifky.
" Dina is like hearing an outsider's voice, sister." replied Medina.
" Yaudah, let's just check it out. Shakas... You were with Uncle Nicko back there, weren't you?"
" Where is dad?"
" Just get Mommy out for a minute."
Shaka ran over to Nicko who had walked first in front of him and hugged his legs to make the adult man shocked.
" Boy... Don't worry about Uncle!" nicko Exclamation.
Nicko grabs Shaka's body into his carrier. Very anxious to see the cubby cheek of his boss' son. He becomes shadow if he himself already has his own child as sweet as Shaka. The closest child to her was Shaka. Alicia, Arata and Siena...? They rarely meet because of different countries.
While outside, Medina cried hysterically at the sight of who was in front of her right now. The overwhelming pleasure he showed by tightly hugging them.
" Alicia, Arata, Siena...!" exciting Medina.
" Hey, Aunty...!" greet the three of them.
After hugging the three boys, Medina smiled then alternately looked at the three men who smiled at her.
" You're finally home, too,"
Medina hugged them one by one giving off longing after a year of not meeting. Happiness is more complete in the case of Medina.
" Adam, Johan, Bayu... You guys been home a long time? Your parents always ask when I come home."
" Don't cry, ugly know!" ledek Adam's.
The people inside ran out when they heard the noise there. Nicko is afraid that some criminals will attack.
" Shaka, you sit here first. Bik, accompany Shaka for a moment."
" Okay, Mister."
When Ririn came out and saw who had come, she immediately shouted no less hysterically like Medina. Ririn immediately hugged her three best friends with happiness. Even without shame he wrestled spoiled to Johan.
" Why not tell me if you want to go home?" ask Ririn.
" It's not a surprise to say it first." Bayu said.
" Wait...! Why are the kids with you? Where are Hans and Jo?" ask Rifky.
" Kat Jo has a meeting in Singapore, so it will follow with Ayumi the day after tomorrow" Adam replied.
" His...?"
" Sister Hans stopped by Sidney for a meeting as well. He is also with brother Sandra will follow." said Bayu.
" Are they meeting or honeymoon?" muttered Nicko annoyed.
Fortunately, the Rifky family's Villa has many rooms so it can accommodate them all.
" Bay, bring the kids in. It's cold outside at night." said Rifky.
" Yes, Brother."
While Bayu and Adam bring the children into the Villa, Ririn is still engrossed in solitude on the terrace laughing happily whatever they are talking about. Nicko who saw it was definitely jealous, wanted it to feel like he was pulling the girl into the Villa.
" No need to be jealous, they have been friends since childhood" said Rifky.
" So they're not brothers." Nicko said.
" Rin, come on in. Help the aunt prepare the meal." Rifky said.
" Yes, Brother."
Ririn moved from her seat but the more annoying thing was Nicko seeing the girl he liked still holding Johan's hand.
" Rin..h...!" call Nicko.
" Hm...?" sahut Ririn brief.
" Take a minute...!"
" Dare ya, Jo?" whispered Ririn.
" Yes, I want to see Arata first." Johan said.
Ririn walked with shuntai steps toward Nicko who was on the stairs to the top floor. His look looked unfriendly.
" What's up...?" ask Ririn flat.
" Come on up!" nicko said as he pulled Ririn's arm.
" Sister, peelin!"
Nicko is silent withholding emotions that lead to jealousy. I don't know what he's thinking right now, but Nicko doesn't want Ririn to be close to another man.
Arriving in Nicko's room, the man immediately locked the door and pushed Ririn's body to sit on the edge of the bed.
" Sister Nicko...!"
" Say you don't love me!" lirih Nicko kneels in front of Ririn.
Ririn was quite surprised by Nicko's extremely serious treatment of looking at her. The highlight of his shady eyes implied such a deep sense towards him.
" I know, it's okay. I will not force you to accept me. I'm self-aware, you can have a better man than me."
" Brother Nicko_..."
" Don't say anything,"
Nicko came out of the room with a sad face. It was indescribable how devastated he was right now. Nicko didn't go to the dining table but just walked out of the Villa.
.

At nine o'clock the night after the children had all slept, the adults gathered in the Villa courtyard for a bonfire and also burned - grilled like fish, chicken, chicken, sodis and many others.
" Sister, you haven't seen Nicko's sister" Medina whispered to her husband.
" Maybe still in the room, Yang." said Rifky while leaning on Medina's shoulder.
" No, Brother. Since the dinner table wasn't there."
" Masa' anyway? That feeling you saw him take Ririn upstairs."
" That's it, that's Dina saw Nicko's sister coming down the stairs. Not long after, Ririn came out of Nicko's room with a gloomy face."
" really? Yes, you join your friends. Brother find Nicko first."
" Yes, but kiss before you go." whine Medina.
" Is... The child wants two still spoiled." Rifky seductive but no doubt landed his kiss on the cheek of the wife.
Medina joins forces with Ririn and Clarissa who are making seasonings to burn while the men light a bonfire.
" You're Medina's friend on campus?" ask Adam to Devan.
" Yes, we're one major." Devan replied.
" Has he changed?" ask Johan.
" Changed...? Meaning what?" sahut Devan doesn't understand.
" Johan means, did Medina stop fighting" Bayu said.
" Huft's... That's the problem, brother Rifky asked me to look after Medina to prevent it. Her husband was worried when at the beginning of college, Medina beat up some thugs who disturbed traders in front of the campus. He also almost beat up the new lecturer who wanted to harass him. It's a good thing that I accidentally saw it and prevented it from doing it." Devan said.
" Huh... He was very stubborn" said Adam.
" A bright night, this event can be until morning" Bayu said.
I don't know what they're talking about, but Devan is very quick to adapt to Medina's friends.
All look happy full of laughs tonight. A clear night full of stars scattered in the sky.
" Mey, there's something dead. Love them, gih!" clarissa.
" Ok, I was there first to bring the fish." said Medina.
" Sister Ririn, please get me the chicken again." Clarissa said.
" Oh yeah, I'll take it for a second" said Ririn, seemingly unfocused.
Medina walked over to four men who were circling the campfire. Deftly he took the meat little by little and then fed alternately to his friends.
" Your husband will be angry again, Mey." refused Devan.
Devan remembered when he had just known Medina he did not know that the woman was married. Devan who initially liked it often gave food or more attention to Medina until finally hit by Rifky when driving her home.
" That was, Dev. Now she's not jealous anymore, because I told her that you like Clarissa" Medina said.
" Is... Hoax...!" cynical Devan.
" If you don't want to make me," said Bayu teasing.
" No!" devan exclaimed quickly making the others laugh at him.
" Of course, you guys wash your hands and keep eating. Later replace you who burn." said Medina.
.
.
It was complete happiness tonight for Medina to be able to gather with her companions. For a moment he forgot about his status as a wife and mother.
On the other hand, Rifky was still sitting quietly beside Nicko who was staring at the sky with a sigh of sadness. Almost half an hour in the same position, Rifky was finally upset as well.
" Young...! When is it like this? What the hell is going on with you?" cecar Rifkiy.
Instead of answering, Nicko hugged Rifky while crying. The unprepared Rifky almost fell.
" Just...!"
