As the two old men stood before him, Annisa and Ruby stood up.
"Ruby, salim first, honey. It's Opa, "appoint Miss Aline.
Mr. Chandra bowed, humbling his body to receive the tiny hand that Ruby then kissed.
"Smart boy," praised the old man. "Wait a minute, honey. Soon daddy you'll be home."
"Really, Opa? Ruby miss Daddy." Those round and clear eyes stared at the old face before him.
The old man's heart instantly melted, remembering one thing. This boy never met his father. Until finally someone else he called Daddy. It's really very sad.
"Of course, honey. Opa never lies" he said.
"Well, while waiting for daddy to come home, what if Ruby played first with baby sister?" haggard madam Aline. She remembered her mission of bringing Ruby into this house.
"Baby sister?" ask Ruby.
"Yes, in this house there's a baby sister. Ruby won't play with him?"
"Ruby wants to, Oma!" The little girl cheered, instead she tugged at Madam Aline's hand making Anisa feel bad. Ruby is very familiar with others.
Mr. Chandra immediately left the house to meet his client, while Aline, Annisa and Ruby's mistress were climbing the stairs. Annisa chose to hold Ruby, because she did not want her small legs to slip while climbing the stairs. The stairs are quite high and made like a winding.
"Nadine, look who Mommy brought for you" said Ms. Aline from the doorstep.
Nadine who was giving ASI to her little daughter suddenly raised her face. His eyes narrowed to see a little girl walking up to him.
Despite feeling unfamiliar with her, the young woman continued to comment on the smile and then waved to her little guest.
"What's your name, honey?" ask Nadine.
"My name is Ruby, Auntie," replied Ruby.
"What a good name. Who are you here with, son?" ask Nadine again.
The woman was stunned to see the teenage girl standing beside Ruby. His face was very similar to Barrel.
"Ruby's Laras' daughter, son. Mommy purposely brought her here so that she could meet her sister" explained Ms. Aline as she pointed at the baby. "I'm sorry, son, Mama didn't say it was the same with you first."
The young woman smiled even though she was surprised. "It's okay. Moms. Nadine was happy because Nadine's son was visited by her brother."
"Sister? Could it be that Ruby thinks of this baby sister as Ruby's sister, Auntie?"
The young woman patted Ruby on the shoulder. "Of course I can. Let's sit on the aunt's side, so you can chat with the baby's sister."
"Hello... I'm Ruby. What's sister's name?" The little girl began to chatter which Nadine answered using the voice of a small child as well. He sat tight with Nadine's body.
Annisa was glued to where she stood watching the scene. While Aline's mistress opted out of the room, in order to save her wet face. He didn't want to be caught Nadine crying.

"Ale, Ruby is in your house with Annisa!" exclaim Laras while brandishing his phone. "Barusan the Annisa chatted me."
The man stepped on the brakes, pulled his car over the side of the road. "Ruby's at Mommy's?"
"Yes, right," nodded Laras.
"But is he okay?"
"According to Annisa, Mommy who came to the mother's house, then took Ruby and Annisa to her house."
"Oh yeah, we'd better take it there. Let's see what mommy wants," Nalendra breaks up.
Without waiting for his girlfriend's approval, the man took his car back down the highway. But this time he turned the direction that was originally towards the CNI group, now towards the large house owned by the owner of the company.
Nalendra drove his car impatiently. Many times he hid the horn when congestion was inevitable. Many times Laras also reminded, patting the big shoulder, told him to be patient.
They finally reached the yard. The barrel goes out of the car as soon as the vehicle engine is turned off. Nalendra grabbed the woman's hand, took her to the house."
"What's this, Mom?" The man found his mother sitting on the sofa crying.
"Finally you came Ale. Let's look up there, in Nadine's room" she ordered, wiping her tears.
"Why Nadine?" Suddenly the body trembled. He felt the huge hand pull his hand, leading him towards the stairs.
"Nadine's." Nalendra's voice suddenly stopped when he saw the figure of a little girl who was busy chatting with her sister.
