Rifky immediately escorted Medina home and parked the girl's motorcycle on the terrace.
" Calis, you go home first, right? Soon dhuhur." said Rifky.
" Don't eat here, brother?" medina.
" Next time, I haven't seen Jamal before."
" Yes, thank you for today."
" Make Calis my duty." whispered Rifky.
" Whatever...!"
Rifky handed over the medicine to Mr. Hasan and walked back to Jamal's house. Their house just next door might only be ten meters away.
Mr. Jamal's house is only on an iron fence one and a half meters high next to Mr. Hasan's house.
" Assalamu'alaikum, Dad" said Medina.
" Wa'alaikumsalam, are you home? Got any punishment?" ask dad.
" One week's suspension equals schoolwork, Dad."
" When are you going to be like this, Din? Soon you're graduating, don't make trouble again at school."
" Daddy want to eat now? After eating the wound treated later, it was bought medicine at the same Pharmacy Rifky." Medina tried to divert the conversation.
" Yes, we eat the same."
Medina warms vegetables and fries eggs for them to eat. Just a simple meal but they both remained grateful.

In the afternoon, at home Medina had gathered four friends with kedondong fruit, star fruit and water guava. Adam who was not told before did not bring anything because he did not have any fruit. His mango tree had not yet borne fruit.
" Mey, teacher left, huh? From there it was invisible?" ask Ririn.
" It was in the room, this morning fell off the motor his leg hurt."
" Ohh.. It's worth it that you went to school with the same husband." ledek Bayu.
" What the hell! Don't spread the hoaks...!" ketus Medina's.
Johan seriously peeling kedondong, while Adam sliced the starfruit and water guava into small pieces. Medina made a drink inside and then Ririn prepared the sauce. For, Bayu.
" Asalamu'alaikum,"
Suddenly Rifky came carrying a bag of fruit - fruits and also other snacks.
" Wa'alaikumsalam, Rifky's brother." replied Bayu, Adam and Johan.
" I brought other fruits and snacks" Rifky said.
" Thank you, brother." said Bayu.
" I went in first want to see Uncle Hasan." said Rifky while carrying fruits specifically for his father Medina.
" Please, brother."
After meeting Mr. Hasan in his room, Rifky approached Medina and Ririn in the kitchen.
" Hey... Oppa..!"'s...!" shout Ririn.
" Hey... What else?" ask Rifky.
" Again make sambal rujak, Oppa. Want to try it?" ririn said.
Medina had just been silent and did not glance at Rifky. He focused on his drink that he made in a big teapot to be enough for everything.
After finishing making the sambal, Ririn took him out to the terrace. The fruit is all ready.
" Calis, how was it? Another thrush, huh?" Rifky whispers.
" It's none of your business!" ketus Medina's.
" O God, it cannot be the same as a husband-to-be. Later the blessing is gone." said Rifky with a sweet smile.
" What brother is here?"
" Kangen is like my beautiful future wife" Rifky teases.
" Don't talk original, it's not good to be a neighbor's gossip."
" Then make this a reality, let everyone not spread gossip."
" Is..don't piss me off. I'm going out with a drink."
" Let brother bring it, my dear must be tired of making it."
" Babs...!" pissed Medina.
" Don't yell, I'm sleeping" Rifky said.
" father? You call my dad dad, too?"
" Who would want to marry you!"
Rifky smiled looking at the naughty girl annoyed. The pleasure in his heart when he could tease Medina.
Rifky came out carrying a tray filled with glasses followed by Medina carrying a teapot. All ingredients are ready to eat.
" Oppa, really want to marry Mey?" ask Ririn.
" What the hell is a gas stove!" medina Sahut.
" Where's the gas stove, Mey?" Ririn pursed her lips.
" It's not like you're not clear." ketus Medina.
Rifky was actually very dizzy to hear the sound of the people in front of him. But for the sake of getting his little girl's heart, he was willing to mingle with the school's thugs.
" Ssttt.. Her father Medina is on break don't be noisy." said Rifky.
" But we're curious, brother. That's right what hoaks, because it was_.." said Bayu who directly in his mouth with skewed by Medina.
" Diem is not...!" nagel Medina.
" No, don't talk about it first. You better eat the rujak." said Rifky.
" But, brother.. If Mey married, there is no more dong to brawl." said Johan.
" Aja tawuran aja thought, tuh mother at home already nagging - ngomel from earlier because - because of the brawl yesterday" said Adam.
Rifky saw one by one the faces of the five teenagers in front of him. There seems to be no remorse from them for what happened yesterday.
Rifky was surprised by them, there was no fear - he was suspended for a week when they had entered the final semester. The five of them looked happy, joking and laughing together as if there were no burdens in his life.
" Meow, tomorrow morning jogging yuk? Rather than stumbling at home" said Adam.
" Look tomorrow, because you don't know whether you can teach or not. If so, I'll have to take her to her school." said Medina.
" It's also true, even though all of you go to Mey's market to shop for mom's merchandise."
" Yes too? I didn't buy groceries yesterday either."
" If I don't think about the kitchen, it's my mom's job" Ririn said.
" Let's just say, tomorrow he leaves after dawn and continues to return before the teacher leaves for school." proposed Johan.
" Maybe, I'll buy you breakfast for dad" Medina said.
They chatted like there was less. Medina turned to her side and saw one creature that had no shame.
" Yes...! From earlier diem ngabisin crackers one can!" scream Medina.
Bayu only grinned while inserting crackers that have been smeared with sambal rujak. Without feeling he had already finished half a can of crackers while the others were eating rujak.
" Father rats, love to eat crackers!" seloroh Johan's.
" You don't know, Jo. The same crackers sambal rujak taste very delicious. Try it if you don't believe it." said Bayu.
The more afternoon, the five teenagers were getting crowded just like the market. There was talk that made them laugh. Rifky just silently leaned against the wall beside Medina while playing her phone.
" Oppa, again chat his girlfriend huh?" ask Ririn.
" No, my girlfriend's here right now. No need to chat directly by the way." replied Rifky while glancing at Medina.
" Same as sambal...!" Medina stuffed the fruit slices filled with sambal into Rifky's mouth.
" Ciieee.. use bribery events - bribes all. Romeo Juliet has never been that romantic." ledek Bayu.
Everyone laughed making Medina embarrassed to death. Rifky immediately took a drink because the sauce is very spicy.
" Eh.. can not leadekin my future wife, later she sulks again. Tomorrow at ten all gather here, brother there is work for you." said Rifky did not want Medina to be more embarrassed.
" What job, brother? The important thing is there is food, Bayu is ready 24 hours." said Bayu enthusiastically.
" Food on your little brain!" ketus Adam's.
" Already, when it's finished eating everything will settle in a moment maghrib." said Rifky.
" Ready, Oppa...!" shout Ririn.
" But, brother. What is dad tomorrow?" ask Medina.
" Sister to school tomorrow, ask permission to take a day off first. It seems like dad's legs are also still difficult if you have to move too often" said Rifky.
They immediately cleaned up all the mess on the terrace of Medina due to the actions of the five of them. Rifky went inside to meet Mr. Hasan who was sitting in the living room looking at the children who were gathering.
