"So ... roughly what recipe would you develop again, Son Calya?" bu Nugraha asked as they sat at the dinner table to taste all the experimental food.
"For a package of food that can be filling and not boring, the price is cheap, of course, rice with egg balado. The completer can use cucumber slices. How, Mom? After all, the taste of Mother's homemade balado eggs is different from usual. The concoction is very good," said Calya.
"Hmm .. good choice. Delicious and cheap," said Bu Nugraha.
"For a moment, Calya took a photo first" said Calya.
He rushed to arrange a packet of rice balado eggs on a plate and took pictures.
"Well, tonight we can already try posting for promotion. If there is an order, tomorrow morning can be made," said Calya with enthusiasm.
"Hmm .. You are a passionate woman, very similar to the late mother of Praba," said Bu Nugraha.
"Praba's mother and late mother knew each other?" ask Calya.
"Yes, of course. He is my best friend. We know each other well. Until the time we were both married, she already had a son, while the mother was declared by the doctor could not have children because of infertile content. Because of this, my mother was divorced by her husband. Miris once, Mother became a widow without having children. Then, Mother Praba who was sick at that time, asked Mother to marry her husband, and take care of her son. That's why, I became a connecting mother for Praba. However, I love her as much as my own son." Bu Nugraha told me with a twinkle in the eye as if he was talking.
Hearing that, Calya was stunned. He feels he has the same fate as the mother continued Praba. However, at least he was more fortunate because in the end the allegations about his infertility had been refuted.
Recalling that, Calya slowly stroked her stomach. He signals to the child that he will always be there for her. Whatever obstacles they face later.

In a homestay.
He was laying his body on the bed. His wife, Haira, was in the bathroom.
Dirga's mind glazed along with the gaze of his eyes in the air of the inn room. He remembered how he had seen Praba at the airport. Next, of course he would meet up with that friend again every day. However, with what had happened between them, he was not sure of the intimacy of their future relationship.
Remembering Praba, Dirga suddenly remembered Calya. He wondered where his ex-wife was now. He recalled how Calya's parents were looking for their daughter.
While remembering the possible purpose of Calya's departure, Dirga was reminded of Myesha, Calya's sister who studied in this city.
"Myesha ...," hissed Dirga. "Is it possible for Calya to meet Myesha here? Calya has no one left. There are no close friends. That's the only brother who might be the goal." Dirga still speaks alone.
A few seconds later, Haira came out of the bathroom, lying down at her husband's side.
"What do you think about?" ask Haira.
"Think of what tomorrow will eat" said Dirga sober while tilting his body, turning Haira.
Realizing the behavior of the husband who seemed reluctant to chat with him, Haira also chose to tilt her body in the other direction. They sleep on each other's backs.

The next day, Calya began to busy recording the incoming orders. Balado eggs are also a menu made today. Apparently last night there were some customers who ordered the new menu.
Meanwhile, Mr. Nugraha chose to take care of the plants in the yard to fill the activities. Especially after Praba left for the office, he became no friends to chat.

In office.
Since this was the first day Dirga entered the office, he came early. After facing the office leader to report his arrival, he was assigned to enter the room where he would work.
In front of the room, Dirga saw a hanging name sign. Praba Satya Nugraha became the name listed there. That is, Dirga will again be in the same room with his friend. He stepped in, and occupied an empty table. Some other officers then arrived. They also know each other.
"Pak Praba is coming soon" said a male employee.
Dirga just fell silent in response to that. A few minutes later, Praba entered the room. When he stepped past the table occupied by Dirga, he suddenly stopped. For a moment, the two men looked at each other.
"Welcome, Dirga Mahendra. Welcome to meet and work together again. Hopefully this time it's not like before. Hopefully I no longer do all the work myself, even have to handle your work as well" said Praba later.
"Calm down, Prab .. now there is no problem that should make me often leave work" said Dirga.
"Oh great. Meaning now your life is more focused and happy," said Praba again.
"Yes .. that's it," Dirga replied.
"Hmm .. let alone soon your wife will give birth to your first child, you must be more excited. Okay ... I go in first, happy work," said Praba as he passed to a small room there. The room that separated his desk as the leader of the room with another desk of employees.
Dirga. Hearing Praba's words earlier, he was unable to speak. Praba's estimate of the birth of his son with Haira was wrong. The reason is certain, Praba does not know the bitter events that happened to Dirga and Haira.
"Where does Dirga live now?" The sound of someone sitting at the table next to her, made Dirga flinch from her daydream.
"Eh .. In the meantime, my wife and I are still living in the homestay" Dirga replied.
"Oh ... The plan is until when to stay at the homestay, sir?"
"Yes, until you get a rented house. Em.... Can you help me find a rented house?" dirga asked the male employee named Arya.
"Contract house? Em ... I think in the housing near here there is still empty deh. The house in the housing was quite heavy, two floors and there were three bedrooms. So if for example there is a family who comes, the room is there. The price is a bit decent, but it is balanced with the house," said Arya.
"Wah .. can be. When did Mas Arya get me to see that house?" ask Dirga.
"Em ... later during the day at rest hours can also be, sir," said Arya.
"OK, it will be noon," muttered Praba agreeing to Arya's proposal.
