Echoes resumed their work, others received new travel reservations, some received calls for hotel and restaurant deals and cheap group tickets. They all look busy, Mr. Asep and Rani have gone to a restaurant to meet his business partner. Today they work only half a day because Mr. Asep still understands that after a few days trip his employees must still feel tired. At 2 pm Gema and his friends are allowed to leave the office. They say goodbye to Mang Didin.
Echoes start his car after putting in the souvenirs he bought for his mother and Lita. He drove his car at a moderate speed, and 20 minutes later he arrived in front of his house. He took all the gifts out of the trunk, and went into the unlocked house.
“Mother, Echoes home.”
“Yes, you're home. Lita mas Gema has returned Lit.” Her mother smiled happily while hugging her son, Lita who was in the kitchen immediately ran to the living room.
“Mas Gema already home, do not forget souvenirs for Mom and Lita right Mas?” Lita also hugged Echoes. The three of them hugged like a family that had not met for a long time.
“Iya did not forget dong. You're the one who won Mom until I go home, this is Mother's gift for herself. Echoes thirsty to drink first.” Gema gave some of the parcels to her mother and Lita. He went to the kitchen to drink because the weather was so hot that it made his throat dry.
Moments after arriving home he said goodbye to his mother to sleep because of fatigue that still hit his body. In the evening they had dinner together but without Lita because Lita had returned to her house this afternoon. After dinner, Gema wants to tell her relationship with Alana to her mother.
