“Tante also want to try the cake made by Rima,” pinta Bu Melly.

“Let's Rima make for Auntie,” replied Rima.

Ms. Melly turned to Reno who was just sitting next to Rima.

“Abang..... how can you be with Pak Aep and Bu Tiara?” ask Ms. Melly.

“Odie where, Tea?” ask Budi who did not see Odie with them.

“There is at home accompanied by Farhan and Fadlan,” replied Rima.

“Sama Farhan and Fadlan?” ask Budi while frowning.

He recalled the time Odie put pilus in his nose, because of the absurdity of Farhan and Fadlan.

“Take it easy, Budi. They wouldn't dare teach Odie the no-no. Father has reprimanded them,” said Bu Tiara.

“Ya, Ma,” replied Budi resigned.

Then Bu Tiara, Mr. Aep and Rima approached Poppy and greeted Poppy.

“How is Nak Poppy doing now?” ask Bu Tiara.

“Alhamdulilah has been a bit quiet. I was able to eat cake without vomiting again,” replied Poppy.
