" actually... Dina.. mmm. can't tell now the same sister." said Medina softly.
" why? You're not cheating on me, are you?"
Rifky let go of his embrace then looked intently at his little girl who had just lowered her face. However, hearing Rifky's unfounded accusations made Medina instantly raise her face.
" cheating? Brother accused me of cheating? On what grounds accuse me without evidence? We don't have a relationship either - what? If there must be a so-called cheating brother, shameless hug - a hug on the estate!" pissed Medina.
" O God, Medina. Isn't the woman's problem over? Why are you still being talked about?"
" Get out of my room! Dina hates brother!"
" Dina, listen to brother first. Don't be so stubborn!"
Medina got out of bed and stood facing the window. A sense of tightness within his chest as everyone blamed him.
" I'm sorry, brother didn't mean to yell at you."
Rifky attempted to grab her little girl's fingers but was directly on the edge violently. The girl turned her eyes back to the outside of the window with an angry look.
" Dear, don't shut up like this. Brother is just afraid of losing you. Brother love you," persuaded Rifky.
" Dina wants to be alone first, sister come out." said Medina.
" No, sweetheart. We're out together, Dad's waiting at the dinner table."
" I'm not hungry,"
" Hey... don't you appreciate your brother and uncle's cooking? At least eat a little."
" Mostly just cook eggs, too,"
" Hmm. Look first, it just so happened to be the new uncle from the market."
Medina was a little surprised because her father was shopping by himself to the market. Medina usually goes into the market, while the father just waits in the parking lot.
" Why dumb? Come on out, want to eat or take a shower?"
" Eat,"
Rifky smiled then followed Medina towards the dining table. Mr. Hasan was already sitting there waiting for the two of them.
" Uncle's done taking a shower?" Rifky.
" Already, let's eat and continue to pray dhuhur congregation." said Mr. Hasan.
After the meal, they prayed before Medina cleaned the kitchen utensils and dishes they used to eat. Rifky became a priest at the request of his father Medina.

Now Medina is cleaning the kitchen with the help of Rifky, while Mr. Hasan rests in his room.
" Dear, so the holidays?" ask Rifky.
" What holiday?" medina Sahut.
" Today I said I'd take a vacation for school."
" Not for now, brother. Dina can't get out of the house while the sentence is still on."
" Later let brother ask permission from uncle,"
" Sister, Dina won't."
" Dear, uncle would've allowed it if brother asked."
" No, let this sentence be finished first."
After everything was settled, Medina sat in the living room while watching tv. Rifky followed him and sat right next to him. For a while, the two kept quiet until Rifky finally opened his voice.
" Calis, brother doesn't know what caused you and uncle like this. Brother dear to you, tell me whatever problems you have, as much as possible brother will always be there for you."
" Dina's okay, brother."
" Calis, please don't make your sister doubt you. You always try to believe that what you do is right even in the wrong way."
" Once, brother. Dina doesn't want to add to the burden of sister's mind."
" You're not a burden, Medina. Big brother seriously said all this. Why don't you still believe how I feel about you?"
" We don't know each other very well, brother. Medina wasn't sure she really liked a girl who was always troublemaking like me."
Rifky stared fixedly at her little girl long enough to convince her own heart even though she was very sure that her heart was already tied to her.
" What do you doubt about my brother?"
" We didn't meet long enough, I was five years old when we were together. How in just a moment can my sister declare her love to me?"
" Sister also doesn't know when the taste is there, dear. Think of you as crazy, but since we parted at that time, you always think of you every day. At first you miss you like a sister to her sister. But after big brother started going to college, that feeling still remained and grew stronger. You are the spirit of the brother every doing any activity. You are the reason behind your success to reach the ideals."
" Sister will wait for you at any time."

Rifky went home to Jamal after being satisfied with his little girl. Although he could not persuade her to take the holiday as he promised yesterday, seeing the girl was good - it was fine to make Rifky's heart relieved.
" Ish..aunty's niece has begun to lose her mind, smile - smile yourself." ledek aunt Mita.
" What the hell, tan? Disturb me." said Rifky with a smile.
" Some of you, Rifky. If there are people passing by see you smile alone, you can guess you are less than one gram" said aunt Mita while laughing.
" Aunty, masa' these handsome bangs are said to be less than one gram? It's Rifky's jewelry, "Rifky's whistle.
" Yes - yes, you're a aunt's most handsome nephew."
" Oh yes, aunt... Where's the leak?"
" Ordinary, play equally on the field."
" Aunty, Rifky wants to talk seriously." said Rifky arrived - arrived.
Aunt Mita who had wanted to enter the house, undo her intention to stand from the sofa where she was sitting.
" Kok aunty so goosebumps, you talk seriously." aunty Mita rubbed her nape a few times.
" Oh my God, aunt. How could Om Jamal have married such a shitty aunt." rifky was upset.
" Heh.. stubborn boy! What do you mean by that? Who's been taking care of you all this time?"
" Hehehee. peace, Aunty. I'm sorry..."
" Hhh... Yeah, what's the quick talk?" ketus aunty Mita.
" Aunty, baby... Rifky_..."
" Don't twist around, talk fast!"
Rifky seemed to be thinking of finding the right word. His little heart was already convinced, but his mind was still floating at the thought of the consequences later.
" Aunty, what if Rifky proposed to Medina?"
" What...?" aunt Mita jumped to her feet from sitting.
" Aunty, don't yell."
" Sorry, aunt in shock is your talk."
" Aunty, so how?"
" Rifky, a pretty aunt's niece. Look, baby. It's not time you got to that stage. Dina is still in school, she is also not sure of her feelings. Approach him slowly, do not be rash in making decisions."
" But, aunt.this is proof of Rifky's seriousness to Medina."
" Do you dare talk to your parents? And they set you up with that girl yesterday."
" That's exactly it, aunt. If Rifky proposed to Medina, the match would not have happened."
Aunt Mita sighed violently then grabbed Rifky's hand with a sad look.
" You don't know the nature of your mother, Ky. He was very stubborn, felt himself to be the most righteous."
" You mean, aunt...?"
" Did he care about you all this time? She'd rather have her social life than take care of you. He threw you out of the country so as not to bother taking care of you. Actually aunt wanted you to stay here at the time, but your mama refused because she thought the countryside wasn't suitable for the rich."
" Rifky knows that too, auntie. But anyway, she's Rifky's mother."
" Aunty knows, therefore, think first of your intention to apply for Medina. If your mama refuses, Medina and Mr. Hasan can be the ingredients of community gossip. Your mother is so stubborn, you should be able to unite them both first just take the next step."
" Yes, aunt. Thank you for being Rifky's real mother."
" Don't praise aunty like that, can fall later this house." joked aunt Mita.
The two of them chatted on the terrace long enough for Jamal to come home from the plantation.
