And Nathan helped put his wife's belongings in the trunk of the car.

"That's all, Mom. Let's go !"

"Well, honey," he said, "You're okay, right?" she asked her husband to see his wife sad.

"No, nothing. Just take it easy!" he answered with a smile.

Their car arrived in front of the shophouse which was wide enough for the size of the cafe. It is located in the city center, and strategically located. The paint still looks good, just a little change the interior design. Just add the lights, and also a little decoration.

"How, Honey? Nice no?" ask Nathan.

"Good, Mas. The place is quite wide. The parking lot is also quite large. Later we add chairs and tables in front of it," said Michelle.

"Yes, I agree, honey," Nathan replied.

"Yes, what's the concept, Mas?"

"I want the concept young man, honey,"

"If you can't just be a young man, ma'am. We are open to all. So, anyone can come here" Michelle said.

"You're right, honey. You are so smart! I changed the concept. I'll open for everyone. It's not just the young ones. But the old can also come here" her husband replied, "Thank you, honey. You're already supporting me,"

"Together, Mas. We're husband and wife, so we have to support each other!" she answered with a sweet smile.

"When are the renovations, Mas?"

"God willing tomorrow, baby. Just need a little renovation!"

"Oh, so,"

"It's noon, let's go home!" ask her husband, after seeing the clock coiled around his wrist.

"Come on!"

"No hunger?" ask Nathan.

"Yes, Mas. I hungry. Let's eat yuk!" take Michelle.

"Come, where are we going to eat?"

"Where is it good?" Michelle seems to think.

"Mas, I'd like some meatballs. We're going to the meatball shop on Suropati street, yuk!" take wife.

"Bakso? Tumben you want to eat meatballs?" wonder Nathan.

"don't know. All of a sudden I want to eat meatballs" he said.

"Ehm, okay. Let's eat meatballs!" husband says.

Nathan drove his car at high speed towards Suropati road. Fortunately, the road is not so jammed. So that Nathan can get there quickly.

"Let's get down!" take Nathan.

"Rame is great, Mom!"

"Yes, you wait there. Let me order it for you!" Nathan pointed at the empty bench in the corner of the tavern.

"Key,"

Two bowls of meatballs are on the table. The smell of the meat is very appetizing. For some reason seeing the meatball, Michelle was very enthusiastic. He wanted to quickly enjoy the meatballs with a lot of sambal and soy sauce, plus a lot of fried onions are criuk.

"Heum," imagining it all made Michelle swallow her own saliva. After reading the basmalah, he immediately ate the meatball. Nathan was surprised to see his wife so enjoyed the food.

"Jeez, honey, the sauce isn't most of it!" said Nathan. Nathan saw the meatball sauce his wife was eating was already very red. But, Michelle still added two spoons of sambal to her bowl.

"I'd like to eat a spit, Mum!" he said it's unclear. Because his wife's mouth is full of meatballs.

"But your meatballs are already very red, dear. Your stomach will start to break!" said husband.

"No, my mom. Take it easy," he replied.

One bowl of meatballs with red sauce, run out without waste. Surprisingly, the wife did not feel piqued. Nathan shook his head, however, casually the wife smiled.

"You want to add?" ask Nathan.

"No, I'm full, Mom!" he answered while stroking his stomach.

"Related?" nathan Gelak.

"Yes, really. I'm full,"

"All right, I pay first. Then, we go straight home!"

"He'em,"

After paying to the cashier, they continued their journey. This time Michelle whines to go to Aminah's house. Nathan seems astonished by his wife's suddenly spoiled attitude.

"Come, Mas. I want to see Mustofa!" whinek.

"Amin?"

"Michelle, sister!" Aminah hugged Michelle with a deep longing.

"Aminful. I miss you!"

"Me too" pleased Aminah. Aminah realized that her best friend had come with her husband.

"Eh, Mr. Nathan. Come on, come on in!" Aminah allowed her guests to sit in the guest room.

"Thank you" Nathan said. Nathan is seen observing the house of Adnan and Aminah.

A pretty big house. And comfortable enough to live in. In the front yard there are many ornamental plants. Predictably, the inhabitants are very fond of plants. Adnan house also looks very cool and ayem, especially in the house sounds murattal strains are very melodious and shahdu.

"So soon, I'll call Mas Adnan,"

"Musthofa followed his Abinya to njai's place. Coming home soon!"

A few minutes later, Adnan and Musthofa arrived. Musthofa was so happy to welcome Michelle. The boy will directly strafe Michelle with many questions. Makes everyone there giggle.

"Why did Auntie just come here? Who's the guy?" musthofa asked with his cute face.

"Sorry, Aunt is busy. So I just got here. And introduce this Aunt husband. His name is Om Nathan" replied Michelle.

"Hallo, handsome. What's your name?"

"Mus-to-fa" he said, spelling his own name. Who did not chuckle at the adorable behavior of the child.

"Tante brought what for me?" suddenly tanyanya. Because every time Michelle went to Aminah, she always brought a hand for the child. No wonder the boy asked.

"Yes, Aunt almost forgot. Aunty brought Musthofa's favorite brownies" Michelle replied.

"Well, Funny. I like it,"

"You want? Tell Umi you want to eat brownies" he said.

"Here let Umi cut her brownies!"

Aminah moved from her seat to the kitchen. And Michelle followed Aminah's steps into the kitchen as well. Aminah and Adnan were like brothers to him. So, Michelle did not feel awkward at Aminah and Adnan's house. While the wives make drinks and snacks. Adnan took Nathan for a casual chat near the pool.

"How are you, Nath?" ask Adnan.

"Thanks to the love of God and all of you. I am still given the opportunity to be healthy, to change and most importantly to repent!" nathan replied.

"Alhamdulillah Wa Gratitude," replied Adnan, "God likes the servant most to repent. And his repentance from the bottom of his heart!" adnan said, patting Nathan on the shoulder.

"Thank you very much, Bang. This is also thanks to the prayer, motivation and encouragement you give!" abugn.

"Name-sama, Nathan. Muslims should remind each other" Adnan replied.

"Goddess, Bang. May God make it easy in his people's steps towards goodness!"
