”Are we there?” ask Sarmi. He saw a house above the shop. He was fascinated by the paint color of the house.
”Yes sister-in-law, we have arrived. The house is his sister-in-law's house.” explains Denis.
In the back of the car. Syakila also asked her father.
”Are we there, Papa?”
”Iya dear, we have arrived.” Halim pointed at her house. ”That's our home.” Syakila, Hardin, and Yuli looked in the direction that her papa pointed at.
”That green paint house, Pa?” I asked to make sure.

”Iya Papa, last night Mama didn't sleep well."
”Alright, come with Papa." he said. Sarmi followed Halim. Halim takes Sarmi to their room. Halim took out the room key from her pocket. Then he opened the door to the room.
”Come in, rest inside. Kids let Papa take care of it.”
”What is not your trouble, Pa?”
