He said I was less slang, he said my cellphone was very old and also time to campus had to ride a motorcycle taxi while they were all on driving a car continuously ".

" What do you want to do for the show? How much cooking today? " Ask him with curiosity.

" You don't know San, if your brother Arum is coming home today ". Obviously mom's spawning on Sandra.

" No ma'am, that's why I'm confused with my mom. But Arum doesn't know I well if he wants to go home. Usually he also chat or call if he wants to go home. But isn't this even Mom? ". Clearly Sandra was at length with a slight growl.

" Maybe your sister's busy, so forget to know you want to ". Said Bu Lijah gently to calm the annoyed-looking Sandra.

" Hehe.... Not the mom. Sandra was just joking with mom ". Answer Sandra.

Sandra also helped her mother. His mother cooked sweet spicy fried chicken and also vegetable soup for Arum. While Sandra cooks rice, fried crackers, and also sambal terasi as a complement.

" Well, maybe it's Arum. Let me open the door" said Sandra, looking excited.

Sandra rushed to the door to see who was coming.

Arum was carrying 2 large bags and 1 small cardboard box that looked exhausted.

" Arum, you're very confused". Sandra immediately hugged Arum who had not been together for a long time because she continued her school in Jakarta.

The two brothers let go of each other by hugging each other.

Sandra was overwhelmed by the arrival of her sister.

" Hehe.... Sorry, sister even forgot to let you in first because she was so hungry with you ". Sandra said with a cry.

" Yes, let's go in first, because I'm tired of knowing. But I can ask you a favor, can't I, brother? ". Arum felt a little awkward.

" You want to ask for help, what is the same brother? ". Ask Sandra curiously.

" Yeah, it turns out it was a doang. Here let brother pick up all your stuff. You just go inside to meet your father, mother and Aldi there ". Said Sandra while lifting Arum's stuff.

Sandra also lifted the goods carried by Arum and put the goods into Arum's room.

" Well, is it, brother? I can't wait to meet them all and eat mom's cooking". Arum said with such excitement and enthusiasm.

" Yes, so let's hurry to the kitchen ". Sandra.

They both walked to the dining room. There was his mother, father and brother waiting for him.

Before sitting down, Arum was about to greet and greet and hug all family members.

After he finished meeting the kangen, Arum was about to pull out his chair to sit down and have lunch with his family.

They seemed happy and talked a little until their food ran out.

" Alhamdulillah, finally full too ". Arum exclaimed as the food he had eaten had run out.

" Haha.... Yes tuh. Mom has started to misbehave with sister's praise ". Aldi did not want to lose to express his opinion.

Those in the room were immediately on breaking laughter after hearing that short talk.

When the two men left their seats. Sandra immediately lifted the dirty dishes into the kitchen to be washed which Arum accompanied.

After everything has been sorted out. Arum told his mother to just rest because it was starting to look very tired.

While Aldi is getting ready to go to work because he works as waiters at a cafe to fill his emptiness.

" Well, that's a great idea, brother. Surely mom is very happy if you wake up the grocery store in front of the house ". Arum said with pleasure.

However, Arum suddenly thought of the cost of planning the construction of the grocery store owned by his brother. Because her parents are only farmers, while her brother Sandra is only unemployed.

Only Aldi who works part-time, but his salary for his own tuition fees, not for the cost of family needs.

" But brother, where did the money come from? If we borrow at the bank, the interest is very much. What are we gonna pay for later? ". Ask Arum with a little worry.

" Yes Ma'am. But Sandra is very hopeful anyway let it be allowed because Sandra wants to open a grocery store in front of the house ". Reply Sandra with a look of pity.

The mother who saw the look on her son's face immediately felt very pity.

" Let me talk to your father later. Let the mother he's watching understand your wishes son ". Said Bu Lijah.

The look on Sandra's face immediately became very cheerful and happy to hear her mother's words. She hugged her mother and thanked her mother.

When his wish had the support of his mother, he went straight to the room to continue his novel and rested.

Sorenya, Mr. Hari just came home from his rice field. He felt very tired, his body felt very stiff. However, before resting, he first cleansed his body.
