Arriving at home Ardella and her brother stepped in, when Ardella entered the house there was no one in the house.
"It's so quiet" asked Ardella in her heart. Wanting her to ask her brother, but undone her intentions, Ardella instead lifted her suitcase.
"Sister, I got the suitcase into the room first." Holding up her small suitcase, Ardella started walking towards her room.
"Yes deck." Batara let her sister go from her presence.
Krekkk, the door is still not fully open. Premmmm,, the sound came from the whistle and the sound of screaming from inside Ardella's room.
"Welcome home." Lisa blows the whistle celebrating Ardella's arrival.
Deg, Ardella's heart was happy at the welcome of her brother-in-law, since Batara and others had prepared it, even on the table in the room there was a cake that read WELCOME TO HOME.
"Thank you, brother." Hugging Lisa. Instantly his eyes also looked around the room, some people in the room unknown Ardella who had been standing up from earlier greeted him.
"Welcome back to Ardella's home." Said Batara who suddenly appeared from behind.
"Sister." Ardella was moved by her welcome, hugging her sister.
Ardella began to see some people in the room, her eyes turned to look on the bed, where 2 small children were sitting. Before asking Ardella remembered first, but in his memory there was never a small child in his sister's house. Lisa, who had been watching, understood what Ardella was thinking.
"Now you have three nephews." Said Lisa who smiled showing her children who were on the bed.
"Really (His eyes were wide open, his mouth was dumbfounded). It's a, um,,,." Ardella hurried to her three nephews.
Aldo is now 8 years old, while his twin brothers are only a year old. Ardella who felt jubilant immediately snorted one of her nephews.
"I remember Aldo, but for these two nieces I don't know his name yet." Said Ardella kissing Edward's cheek.
"Edward and Erwin, they're twins but different." Lisa smiled as she sat down with Ardella and held Erwin.
Ardella was cool to play the hand of Edward who was in his arms, then he again realized that there are still some things that want to be asked.
"They are who." He said hesitantly pointing to the three people who had stood up and took hold of the whistle and put on the whiskers hat on his head.
"This is the housekeeper we call aja bik Ami, and this one is Dila baby sister to take care of the twins if I'm working." Lisa's Saying.
"Hallo non Ardella." Say the two women with a smile.
Ardella's busy hand swings Edward who is still in her lap. "Hallo bik Ami and mbak Dila." Ardella said with a smile.
Ardella's eyes looked at Robin. "He's who's sister." Asked Ardella while glancing towards Batara.
"Ohhh, he's Robin's assistant brother." Batara who stutters introduces Robin to Ardella.
"Hi,,,." Raising his right hand, Robin's smile hesitated as it was awkward with Ardella.
"Hi too, it looks like we're the same age." Say Ardella casually.
"Because we're the same age to talk to me casually." Said Ardella letting off a small laugh at Robin who daritadi look awkward.
Over the year Robin also experienced changes, he who used to look slippery now his stature is more mature, every day following Batara who works to make Robin look mature.
Batara who from earlier held a gift in his hand.
"This is my sister buying Ardella something, I hope you like it." Said Batara handing over the gift from earlier held by him.
Ardella who received a gift from her brother tried to open the gift wrapper slowly, because still holding Edward, Ardella had a little trouble opening the card.
"This is Edward let me carry." Batara said Take Edward from his arms.
Ardella opened the gift box, those in the room were waiting for the contents in the gift. Ardella's eyes were stunned, seeing a beautiful dress in a box, a white rustra dress with shimmering beads adding beauty to the dress, her fingers touching the dress, her memory returning as her mother sewed a dress for her, the dress she saw was almost exactly the same, coupled with a pair of glass shoes in a small box next to the dress.
"Beautiful." Ardella's voice began to tremble and her eyes began to glaze over.
"I love it, I'll wear it when I get married." Said Ardella quietly still touching her dress.
"I'll be your escort in your place and take you to the altar." Batara said happily and touched Ardella's head.
"Thank you brother, I love brother." Ardella.
The atmosphere between Batara and Ardella looks heartwarming, this pair of sisters like to cry together.
"Today's welcome to Ardella's return, bik Ami has cooked a lot of food, we should celebrate by eating together." The volume of Lisa's voice is slightly higher to break the atmosphere between Ardella and Batara.
"Bik Ami, the food please serve, all bring the cake, then we cut into pieces after eating." Lisa said back to her household assistant.
"Non good." Hastily stepped out of Ardella's room followed by Dila from behind towards the kitchen.
"Sure you're still tired of taking a break for a while, after that we eat together." Said Batara who was standing in front of Ardella still holding Edward.
"Yes, brother."
"Let's leave Ardella in her own room so she can rest." Lisa stood up and walked out of Ardella's room with Batara.
Robin who was still in the room came out, but suddenly his steps stopped he turned back and turned to look at Ardella.
"Can we be friends." Ask Robin.
What does it mean to be friends and why does he look like he wants to cry. In Ardella's mind.
"Sure, let's be good friends with Robin." Ardella said as she extended her hand to Robin.
"Let's be good friends." Robin extended her hand and spoke back Ardella's words.
"I went to the kitchen first, how do I know anyone needs my help." Their hands have been released.
"OK." A cute Ardella smile looks at Robin's awkward behavior towards her.
Robin starts leaving Ardella's room and walks towards the kitchen as she said earlier.
Fyuuu, Ardella who was lying down thought for a moment.
"It seems like a lot of things I've forgotten." He murmured while thinking.
"It is not worth thinking that I should first tidy up my clothes in the suitcase." Ardella.
Ardella stood up and began to pull her suitcase closer to her wardrobe.
Srekkk,, there's a lot of clothes in his closet.
"There were a lot of clothes in the closet, when did I buy all this." A deep voice looks into the closet.
When Ardella wanted to tidy up her suitcase she took first a gift box containing her brother's gift dress, then placed it along with the gift box into the closet and continued with the clothes in the suitcase.
"Finally it's done too." Mumbled himself.
Ardella, looking at a table full of reading books and complete with writing utensils, sat in her chair and looked at the reading book, opened the desk drawer and saw a book. It is then placed and begins to flip the book cover. The book still looks empty without writing anything, Ardella's hand began to reach the pen in front of her, then written My Diary on the cover of the book and continued to write her heart in her diary.
Mama, Ardella has come home from the hospital, Batara said because of an accident Ardella forgot some of my memories, but luckily Ardella did not forget Mama. Oh yes Ma, now you have three grandchildren. Mama's first grandchild was Aldo, Edward's second and Erwin's third grandchild, if you'd be happy to see those who were cute. Ardella knew Mama and Dad must have seen us up in heaven.
Greetings from Ardella to Mom and Dad.
