Duren Sweet
Why here?
Rara just came home from college, she saw grandma and mb Minah busy making cakes. The fragrant cake that has been baked makes Rara sit at the dining table,
Rara : “Tumben grandma make lots of cookies. Would you like a guest, Grandma?”
Grandma : “Iya, your papa says there is a business partner who stopped by later and wants to go home to the city of M. So grandma makes cakes for souvenirs.”
Rara : “Rara can be tasted? Looks good.”
Grandma : “Entar only yes. Take a shower, and a beautiful one. Ntar again they come loh.”
Rara: “Why should Rara dance?”
Grandma: “Rara help bring this cake later same tea.”
Rara : “Ya, new.”
Rara went up to the 2nd floor to take a shower and get ready. While Mia has just arrived with Alex, they return home quickly to host Mr. Roland, one of Alex's long-time business partners and Alex's friend in college.
Alex asked Mia to take a bath in Alex's room, the grandmother who heard him was just a smile. Just as Alex was about to walk into her room as well, Mia glared asking Alex to wait for her to finish her bath.
Alex : “Well, if you shower together will be finished.”
Alex's words got a slam in the door of the room in front of his face, grandma and mb Minah giggled at Alex
put his body on the door.

Rara, who had finished preparing, got down from the 2nd floor. Previously he told the twins to be ready to welcome guests who came. Alex looks at her eldest daughter who looks beautiful and sweet, time is fast passing her sweet little daughter has grown into a tender and mature teenage girl.
The circumstances that forced Rara to mature prematurely and that made Rara's emotions fragile. If only he did not meet Mia soon, maybe Rara would fall quickly. Alex has been too busy taking care of his company, not even rarely miss a family vacation to maintain the stability of his company.
Mia also came out of Alex's room, looking fresher and prettier. Rara hugged Mia and the two praised each other.
What kind of family Alex hopes for, with the presence of Mia can make her small family intact. The twins followed Rara down and now took turns hugging Mia. Alex grieves resentfully seeing Rio clinging to Mia,
Alex : “Rio, last mama dong.”
Rio : “Papa nich, why sich? Papa can meet mama every day, Rio once a week, pah.”
Alex : “Tetep aja don't hug for long.”
Mia was puzzled to see Rio arguing with her papa while pulling himself right to left.
Mia : “Stop!! Take a quick shower! Rio quickly sit down!”
The two obeyed Mia's orders obediently making the others smile withholding laughter. Mia could overcome any form of commotion inside the house.

Half an hour later, a car pulled up in front of Alex's house. Alex, who was waiting, immediately walked out of the house to see someone he knew walking into his yard with someone.
Alex : “Ronald, welcome to my house. Hello, Arnold?”
Ronald : “You know Arnold? This is my second child, like me, right?”
Alex : “Reserve when I meet I feel like I've seen it. Let's go in first.”
Ronald : “Your house is good, Lex. You should come to my house sometime. We can swim in the river.”
Alex : “You still like swimming? I haven't done it in a long time.”
Ronald : “It looks like my chance to beat you has finally arrived yes, I've been training every day.”
Alex : “We'll see later. Let's sit down.”
Mia and Rara walk into the living room bringing tea and cake. Rara concentrated on carrying the tray so as not to fall, she was not too used to it. Mia smiled at Ronald and Arnold, she was a little surprised to see Arnold sitting there, but she did not want to disturb Rara's concentration.
Mia presents tea and cake for the three of them and Alex introduces Mia as his future wife.
Ronald : “Wah, your future wife is so beautiful, Lex. When did you get married?”
Alex : “About 2 months..”.
Mia glanced at Alex embarrassed, this one widower was impatient to change the status on his ID card. What about Rara, after the tray she was holding was empty, she started to notice the guests sitting in her living room. The deg! That's Arnold's sister, Rara's starting to misbehave. His arm nudged the arm of Mia who remained standing beside him.
Mia senses the code from Rara and asks Arnold,
Mia : “Arnold can also be here?”
Ronald : “This is my second child, Mia. You guys know each other?”
Mia : “We studied at the same campus, Mr. Ronald.”
Ronald : “Wah, wow much surprise tonight huh. And who is this sweet girl?”
Arnold : “Rara, how are you?”
Everyone stared at Rara and Arnold who had been staring at each other even since the moment Rara coded Mia. Mia, Alex, and Ronald smiling themselves realize there is a different aura between Rara and Arnold.
Ronald : “Ehhemm.. You know each other well.”
Arnold : “We studied at the same campus.”
Rara : “I Rara, um. Brother Ronald senior at the Rara.” campus
Ronald : “Ah, very good. You two can chat, so we can chat without interruption, Lex.”
Mia : “Iya, you can chat on the terrace. Rara, take the tea to the terrace. Mama get me another cake.”
Rara followed Mia's words, and Arnold came out first. He sat on the terrace of Rara's beautiful house. Rara
put tea on the table.
Arnold : “Your house is good, Ra.”
Rara : “Makasi, sister. Brother drink first his tea.”
Arnold : “From here to campus, far away?” Arnold grabbed a cup of tea and drank it.
Rara : “So too, sister. About 15 minutes if it jammed.”
Arnold : “From here take the motor what car?”
Rara : “Rara usually ride ojol, sis. Faster. Where do you live?”
Arnold : “Yesterday is still at the hotel, papa just bought an office apartment. Maybe the day after tomorrow can be occupied.”
Rara : “This brother is a senior on campus, but how come Rara never saw ya?”

Arnold : “Lumayan is. What semester are you in?”
Rara : “Semester 4, Brother. Brother himself wants to graduate, right? Abis graduated, brother wants to work where?”
Arnold : “I want nerusin papa company here.”
Mia who had been listening to them from behind the door, immediately came out carrying tea and cake for them.
Mia : “This tea equals cake, please try. Continue chatting yes, mom wants to go inside first.”
Arnold thanked her, as did Rara who looked timid as Mia picked up the tray from her
her hands.
Arnold : “Your young once yes.”
Rara : “I mean sister, mama Mia? Mama Mia is my stepmom, if my real mama is dead, sis.”
Arnold : “Ah, sorry. I don't know.”
Rara : “Gak pa-pa, sister. Please eat cake.” Rara handed Arnold the cake plate.
Arnold : “Nak. You made it?”
Rara : “Not, sister. Grandma made, Rara can't.”
Arnold : “You should learn how to make it. Who knows you're better.”
Arnold and Rara continued to chat until Ronald interrupted them because the clock was already showing at 9 p.m. They must leave for the city of M.
Arnold hands Rara his phone,
Arnold : “Ask your number, we haven't finished chatting just now.”
Alex and Mia just look at each other, Arnold is not even shy about asking for Rara's phone number in front of her parents. After Rara hands her phone back, Arnold calls Rara's phone,
Rara : “Kak, my phone is in the room.”
Arnold : “My number is already in. See you, Rara. Om Alex, mama Mia thank you for the hospitality.”
Ronald receives a box of cookies that Mia handed over and they get into his car. Rara waved her hand
Arnold and remained standing in front of the gate of his house until Arnold's car disappeared around the corner.
Mia : “Honey, let's go in first. Mama go home first yes.”
Rara hugged Mia, hiding a happy hue on her face. Mia also smiles seeing the progress in Rara and Arnold's relationship.
