The car that Aril was driving had reached Dinda's yard. For the past few days, he has always come to pick Dinda up for work. Coinciding with his arrival, Mother had just come from the market, just immediately I memorized Aril who was about to step towards the terrace of the house.
"Eh has come son Aril, very morning."
"Yes ma'am, I used to pick up Dinda."
"Let's go in."
Aril stepped hand in hand with his future father-in-law. These few days Mom's attitude has been better to Aril. The thing that Aril and Dinda have not done is to meet with Dinda's grandfather and extended family. They are constrained by the work that piles up because of Alfaro who is going on vacation, so all his work is handled by Aril and Dinda.
Arriving inside, Mom went straight into Dinda's room and it turned out to be empty. Mother came back to Aril who was sitting in the living room chair.
"Dinda still takes a shower, let's have breakfast first, I bought ketoprak at the market," asked Mother.
"No ma'am, I had breakfast before" Aril refused.
"Because of the wind, come on." Mom pulled Aril's hand to follow her steps to the kitchen.
Arriving in the kitchen, Aril sat on the simple dining table chair that was there. Mother took the plate and opened the package of ketoprak then given to her prospective daughter-in-law. Aril noticed the mother who was so attentive to him. As an orphan, he had forgotten what it was like to be noticed by a mother, all this time he was cared for and raised by his grandfather, grandmother who is now gone.
"Kok bengong let's eat," said Mother who is currently sitting in front of Aril.
Aril just smiled at Mom and then immediately spooned the ketoprak into his mouth. Although the food is simple but he eats very greedy, it tastes so good because it is given by a mother who though fierce but very attentive to him.
"Mommy's here, look at Dinda's ketek razor!!" dinda shouted suddenly, from the bathroom not far from the dining table.
Aril immediately stopped eating because he listened to the voice of his lover. Mother grumbled to herself while massaging her head which suddenly felt dizzy, why also Dinda suddenly asked about the razor when Aril was there.
"Find it yourself!" shouting Mother.
From inside the bathroom, Dinda who had finished bathing and wearing a knee-length kimono towel, tried to find back, the razor, but did not find it anywhere. Finally, he decided to go out of the bathroom to get to his mother.
"No ma'am, I've been looking for her everywhere, how I haven't shaved my ketek hair since camp-" Dinda stopped her steps when in front of her she saw Aril sitting on the dining table chair with Mom, she silently remained silent with red cheeks as she endured the embarrassment as Aril looked at her in a flabbergasted look, while Mom glared sharply at him.
Maybe in the past when he and Aril were still friends, he would be indifferent if faced with a situation like this, but now of course he felt embarrassed half to death. Dinda tried to endure her embarrassment, being as normal as possible in front of her lover.
"You've come" said Dinda, who looked wrong, "Ehm, then I'll get ready first." Dinda walked quickly, leaving the place. Aril's eyes continued to follow Dinda until she disappeared from behind the curtain between the kitchen and the other room.
Arriving inside the room, Dinda locked the door and dropped her body on the bed. He screamed while covering his face with a pillow.
How should I deal with it later, I'm so ashamed, Dinda.

After passing through the embarrassing moments in the morning, Dinda and Aril are currently on their way to the office. If usually Dinda did not stop talking all the way, this time she just kept quiet and continued to look out the window. Aril realized that his lover must be feeling embarrassed because of the incident this morning.
"Why are you silent, usually also blabbering along the way," asked Aril as he glanced to the side where Dinda was sitting.
"Don't pretend not to know and don't talk about it anymore, I'm really embarrassed right now" said Dinda, who sounded flat and looked out the window.

In a different place, Almira was getting ready to go to the office. His two nephews Vino and Viona followed him all the way to the front porch. Almira felt pity but wanted to how should he go to work today.
Almira aligns her body with Vino and Viona, "Honey onty work first, just for a minute anyway."
"Onty Kelja where, Yona wants to go onty."
"Ino too, bored in the transparent house."
Almira sighed then smiled at Vino and Viona. He was confused how to explain to them because he had a few days off to accompany Vino and Viona. In the midst of her confusion, Bima came out with Mama, approaching Almira and the twins.
"Mira, how come you haven't left yet?" ask Mama.
Almira turned her head back and re-enforced her body, "This is Ma, Vino and Viona want to come along, but if they come along I'm afraid I can't take care of her.
Mama approached Vino and Viona, "Oma's grandchildren, today play with Oma, Uncle and Bi Ranti only yes."
"Now, come onty!" vino and Viona said simultaneously.
Almira and Mama stared at each other in their own confusion. Looks like Vino and Viona are tired of being at home. Seeing that, Bima stepped closer to Vino and Viona who started to frown.
"Alright, then we go to work onty Mira yes, but Vino and Viona should not run around while there," said Bima who is currently kneeling before the twins.
"Asiickk." Vino and Viona cheered happily, because they heard Bima's words.
"Bima, you don't have to bother, here there is Mama and Bi Ranti who can take them for a walk" Almira told Bima.
Bima stood up from his position, facing towards him Almira who was currently staring at him, "It's okay, I haven't been to the company for a long time, wanting to greet the head of the planning team, he said, all of you take Vino and Viona for a walk."
Almira could not say anything, she just smiled as she continued to look at Bima. Mama who was among them, since earlier noticed, from the way the two looked at each other, Mama could feel if Almira and Bima had a sense of attraction to each other.
"Ma, we're leaving, yes" Almira said.
"Oh yeah, be careful on the road."
Almira kisses Mama's hand at being followed by Bima and the twins. After the car driven by Bima left the Mansion yard. Mama took the phone in her pocket, it looks like she's going to call someone.
"Hallo, how are you Nisa," said Mama when the phone call was connected.
[Hallo jeng, I'm good, how is Bima there, not a hassle right?]
"Oh not at all, even it seems that soon we will become besan," said Mama as she walked into the Mansion.
