In the afternoon Alyssa arrived at her home greeted with warm embrace of her parents. Alyssa told her parents she was coming home. Ratna's mother has prepared a lot of food to welcome the return of her only child.
“Wah. This could make eating ten people” said Alyssa.
“Yes, I deliberately cooked a lot today, it's a beautiful child Mother came home” replied Ratna's mother.
“But this is mostly Bu”.
“Ya you can eat slowly, later also definitely run out”.
“Ih This mother how the hell. Later I get fat and no one likes me. Don't want to have a ghost what?!”
“Ya wants to be. That's why I want to know you to her son Temen Mother. Who knows you fit him”.
“I don't want to be fooled by Mom. Rich children do not sell aja” replied Alyssa ketus.
“Yes you didn't sell. Where have you ever known your girlfriend to Mom. All I know is you only date once right still high school. That's also I don't know whose girlfriend you were. You never met Ibu”.
“ Anyway I don't want to be known with her son Temen Mother. Point!”
“This why the hell on noisy?!” Mr. Herman who heard a noise from the dining room immediately approached his wife and child.
“This is sir, when Mother said her son did not sell”, Alyssa complained.
“But really right?” ask herman with his innocent look.
“Mr!” Alyssa was getting upset.
“Yes already, now you take a shower first keep us eating equally” Ratna said to her son.
Thirty minutes later Alyssa was sitting at the dinner table with her parents. They eat together while joking to release their kangen taste. Alyssa ate so voraciously and this was already her third plate.
“Feelings earlier someone said he did not want fat deh” seductive Mother Ratna.
“The reason for Mother's cooking is very good” Alyssa replied as she continued to devour her food.
After dinner Alyssa and her parents relax while watching Mother Ratna's favorite soap opera. Yes, Ratna's mother is a soap opera-loving mother who should not miss a single episode. Usually Ibu Ratna will discuss about the sinteron she watched with the mothers of other traders in the market.
“Nak, you said to me you work as an assistant artist right?!” ask Mr. Herman.
“Iya Sir, I work with Nathan Alexander”.
“Alyssa! Why didn't you tell Mom that you worked as Nathan Alexander's assistant?!” Ratna's mother screams making Alyssa and Mr. Herman a little jump.
“Mom can not talk anyway do not use yell so”.
“You never said to Mom that you were working with Nathan Alexander. If you know you can nitip you make ask for his signature”.
“Bapak sure tomorrow in the market Mother must be a story to everyone if his son cooperates with Nathan Alexander” said Mr. Herman who can guess the behavior of his wife.
“He is Sir!”
Suddenly Alyssa's phone on the table rang, she saw who called her. And it turns out that call was from Nathan. Ratna's mother who saw the name “Nathan” appeared on her son's phone screen immediately picked up the phone call.
“Halo nak Nathan? This is Alyssa”'s mother Ratna said excitedly. Alyssa tried to grab her phone, but Ratna's mother brushed her hand away.
“Eh, yes Ma. Greetings, replied Nathan from across the phone.
“Mom knows Nathan already. Kan nak Nathan is famous fromulu”.
“Hehe. Emm.. Alyssa's got a ma'am?”
“There..this is him next to Mom. Nathan boy, play at Mom's house sometime.. I want to see Nathan's son live. Mom's a big fan of Nathan”'s son.
“Iya Ma'am, I'll play at Mom's house sometime. Now can I talk to Alyssa?”
“Iya can son! This is I love her phone to Alyssa”
Alyssa snatched her phone from her mother's hand. He rushed to the room because he knew that if he called in front of his mother, Ratna's mother would bring her ears closer, trying to hear Alyssa and Nathan's conversation.
“Sorry yes Nat, was lifted the same mother” said Alyssa after locking the door of her room so as not to be disturbed by her mother.
“Yes, it's okay Sa”
“Emm.. What are you calling?”
“Nevent to be in Denger Nat. Mom is that guy, she's just kidding me.
“Keep if not kidding how?”.
“Means?”
“If I want to play at home you can?”
“Emm.. “ Alyssa looks thinking.
“Sa? The answer is long sih”.
“Eh Yes Nat. You can play here as long as you do not wear it later, you will be busy working” replied Alyssa.
“‘Malah tiredku will disappear if you see you”.
Almost an hour Alyssa and Nathan were talking on the phone. Nathan told me about his activities that day and Alyssa listened well.

Today, only Mr. Herman went to the market to sell at his grocery store. Ratna's mother was still busy in the kitchen with her cookies in the oven.
“Loh, mom not to the market?” alyssa asked who had just woken up from her sleep and headed straight for the kitchen.
“Ngak. Today old women want to come visit here nak” replied Ms. Ratna while removing a cake that has been cooked from the oven. “You take a shower first there, out of it breakfast ya”.
Alyssa obeyed her mother's words, she immediately took a bath and after that finished her breakfast. He did not ask his mother who his mother's old friends would come to visit.
When the clockwork showed the number ten, the guest whom Bu Ratna was waiting for came. Ratna's mother ran from the kitchen to open her guests' doors. Alyssa was still watching TV while eating her snacks.
“Sa, here! Temen Ibu has come” Ibu Ratna approached Alyssa who was busy watching TV.
“Ya already if the mother has come yes Mother madein drink so” replied Alyssa lightly.
“That you are yes!” Ratna's mother pinched her son's arm.
“Apaan sih Bu, pain tau Bu!” alyssa said as she rubbed her arm.
“Come to the living room, mutual acquaintance with Mom and her son”.
Alyssa just remembered that her mother wanted to introduce her to her friend's child. Actually Alyssa was lazy to meet with her mother's guests, but because her mother constantly babbling that made Alyssa's ears tired of hearing it, she finally followed her mother's wishes. He walks into the living room lazily and is surprised that his mother's old friend's son is Dimas, his ex-girlfriend from high school.
Dimas was as surprised as Alyssa was, he did not expect them to meet again after six years of not meeting.
“Sa, know this Ibu Sekar temen lama Mother. And this is his son, his name is Dimas” Ratna's mother said.
“Eh yes, hello all. Nice to meet you guys” Alyssa greeted with a little awkward.
“Wah, it's beautiful you nak” said Bu Sekar praising Alyssa.
“Eh yes Mom, thank you” replied Alyssa still trying to be friendly.
“Nak, said your mother you used to go to XXX High School huh?” ask Bu Sekar.
“Iya Bu”.
“Means you know Dimas?” said Bu Sekar again while holding the shoulder of his son. While Dimas was still staring at Alyssa with a hard-to-guess look.
“Sorry Mom, I don't know any of Mom”'s kids.
Alyssa's reply made Dimas shocked. How can Alyssa say that she doesn't know Dimas while they used to date.
“You don't know Dimas?” asked Ms. Ratna not to believe it.
“Bener Mom, I don't know. Kan at school I used to be a student of many ma'am, so do not know everything, replied Alyssa.
“Sorry Ms Ratna, may I chat in front with Alyssa? Maybe Alyssa can remember with me that we have been chatting” said Dimas suddenly that made Alyssa upset.
“Oh yes please night Dimas. Sorry Alyssa yes, she is indeed a little forgetful, but not old” Mother Ratna allows Dimas to talk alone with Alyssa. He slightly pushed his son's body to get up from his seat and followed Dimas who had walked to the terrace first. With a forced move Alyssa finally followed Dimas to the terrace.
