Rifky sat next to Hasan who was watching TV. It seemed that his legs were no longer as painful as they had been this morning.
" How about uncle, has he gone off his feet? Don't move too much" Rifky said.
" Uncle is fine - what, can be used the road." said Mr. Hasan.
" But uncle still needs a lot of rest, tomorrow do not need to teach first. Rifky wants permission to take Medina to the orphanage."
" Jamal sir's charity event?"
" Yes, uncle. Rifky just wanted Medina and the others to do something positive and useful for others."
" Thank you, Rifky boy. Uncle wishes you could change my daughter's harsh nature."
" God willing, uncle."
Before long, Medina's friends say goodbye to go home because the day is approaching Maghrib. They also cleaned the dirty porch.
" Didn't my brother come home?" medina said, sitting next to her father.
" What's why? I'm happy to stay here, uncle doesn't mind." said Rifky.
" This is Maghrib, go home!" expel Medina.
" So that meek woman don't like to yell - yell like a parking attendant."
" Not come home?! Or Dina drag it to Jamal's house?"
Mr. Hasan can only stroke the chest with the attitude of his son who can not keep his manners.
" Dina, let it go. Maghrib soon, it is not good to fight." said Mr. Hasan.
" So you're more defending him than Dina?" ketus Medina's.
" enough! Don't talk rudely to uncle." said Rifky.
Rifky could accept that Medina was being rude to him. But if with his own father, Rifky does not want it to happen.
" I don't need your advice!" mina exclaimed and went into her room.
" Patient uncle, huh? Rifky promised to make Medina change" Rifky said.
" Yes, Rif. It's all the wrong uncle in the past who made Medina like that. Uncle felt like he had failed to educate Dina."
" Uncle don't talk like that, Dina must have had a reason why she did that."
" Yes, it's all because of uncle."
Mr. Hasan tells the beginning of Medina changed attitude towards him and made a tantrum outside. The girl became brutal and difficult to control.
" Uncle take it easy, Rifky will definitely make it back to what it used to be. Uncle's pride girl."
" Uncle wishes she'd soon change to her gentle and submissive nature."
" Yeah uncle, Rifky persuaded Dina first not to be angry. It's not good at this hour to swallow, it will disappear" said Rifky.
" Daughter, don't be so hard at guiding her. Uncle knows Medina's heart is fragile."
" Yes, uncle."
Rifky knocked on the door many times but there was no word from the inside. Rifky opened the door slowly as it was not locked. When he entered he saw Medina standing at the window with a blank look.
" Hey. Don't get mad, you pretty little sister?" woo Rifky.
" Go home! Why are you still here?" ketus Medina's.
" Yes, sister will come home after sister's favorite girl is not angry anymore."
" Dina wants to be alone, go!"
" Sister's smile is gone."
" No! Go there!" Medina pushed Rifky's body away from her.
Rifky did not see the anger in Medina's eyes, but rather a disappointment that he had been pending too deeply. Rifky immediately pulled the girl's body into his arms as if the girl was crying, Rifky would hug or hold her and would be silent.
" Cry if it reduces the burden of your feelings. Brother will always be there for you, will never leave you again." said Rifky.
" It was crying, it was Adhan Magrib. Brother wants to go to Mushola first, after that we buy food for dinner so as not to bother cooking even though you are curious about your cooking."
" lady... Sorry, Dina_..."
" It's okay, brother just ask not to be rude again to uncle. He is the only family you have right now. Don't let you regret it later."

In the morning, Medina cleaned the house and made breakfast for her father after this morning from the market to shop. Her father was only sitting on the porch chair because his legs were still sore and could not help Medina's work.
" Well, Medina was invited to go to Rifky but didn't know where to go. Can you, dad?" ask Medina.
" Yes, go. Yesterday Rifky also asked permission from my father." replied Mr. Hasan.
" Dad want breakfast now? Dina cooked fried rice. Later Dina cooks for daddy lunch."
" Don't cook, I'll buy it in Adam's stall. There are also many side dishes, later you are tired."
" Oh yeah, then we'll have breakfast now."
Medina let her father into the house for breakfast. Without them noticing, Rifky had already tailed behind him.
" Assalamu'alaikum, uncle." Rifky said.
" Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Mr. Hasan.
" Want breakfast? Rifky can follow? Looks like the portion is enough for the three of us." said Rifky with no idea of shame.
" Of course you can, Din get another plate" said Mr. Hasan.
" Huft..difficulty!" muttered Medina irritatedly then into the kitchen took the dishes.
" Uncle, Rifky would like to grab some water first in the kitchen. You don't like the heat too much" Rifky said with a smile.
" Yes, take it yourself. Think of your own home as a child."
" Thank you, uncle."
Rifky went into the kitchen to pick up a glass next to Medina. With a smile he grabbed the girl's shoulder.
" Back...!" pissed Medina.
" Calis why the morning - this morning already pouting? No morning kiss yet?" god Rifkys.
" What the hell!"
Rifky took the plate in Medina's hand and placed it back onto the plate rack. After that he grabbed the girl's body into his arms.
" Brother Rifky, get off...!"
" Ssttt just for a second, I miss you so much. May your heart not choose another." - Rifky.
Honestly, Medina also misses the little Rifky who used to love her, take care of her and invite her to play. Medina did not expect that the person she had been waiting for had now grown into a very handsome adult man.
" Oh, I'm hungry." Medina pushed Rifky's body back a few steps.
" Sorry, sister didn't mean_..."
" No more, no more discussion!"
Medina took the plate and spoon and walked first to the dining room which was only blocked with cabinets from the kitchen. Rifky smiled looking at the face of his little girl who was blushing in embarrassment.
After breakfast together, Rifky came home to prepare all the items to be taken to the orphanage. Because the goods are so many, Rifky will bring two cars to transport goods and one car for the six of them.
