Ani and her children came home lethargic and tired.

Ani said after being inside the house brother and sister took a bath first, mother prepared a meal ''.

'' well ma'am said Padli and Putri together.

Padli did not want to talk about the recent events in Gito's house and asked the Princess also not to ask her mother much.

Ani herself tried to be strong in the eyes of the children not to make them depressed.

Ani busied herself with various things as she was currently cooking, after being ready for Ani to clean up.

Padli and Putri were at the dinner table waiting for the mother's arrival.

Long they waited for the mother not to come out of the room, Padli was agitated and said ''Well look at mom, why so long !''

'' good sister said the Princess.

The princess walked into the mother's room and knocked on the door.

'' kecapean mother yes to sleep in the bathroom everything said Putri.

'' yes, I am tired Put Ani said.

'' but eat first with us Mom later new mother sleep to rest, let later Princess and sister who will give the dining table !'' said Princess.

They eat together in silence no one speaks. To two children Ani understands the burden to be borne by the mother and again Ani also does not allow at the dinner table talk.

After eating Ani went to the room to rest and her two children cleaned the dining table, Putri washed the dishes while Padli cleaned the dining table.

Padli said, you don't ask about the incident that happened at Uncle Gito's house, pity me if you have to remember the incident back ''.

'' indeed what happened there sis, the Princess has not understood so much yet !''

'' this is what Uncle Gito is clear about cannot be our father !'' said Padli.

'' why is that so, uncle promises to be our father said the Princess.

'' yes, but yesterday uncle married another woman, Padli said.

'' uncle evil why he married someone else instead of mother, Princess hated uncle Gito said Putri.

Padli tried to calm the Princess who knew the events that had happened and now the Princess hated Gito who had hurt the Princess and Ani the Princess' mother.

The princess was still upset by the fact that she learned that the mother was disappointed by Gito's actions.

Padli and Putri after finishing with their work went into their respective rooms to rest as well, they were also tired of needing a break.

The night changed with a very bright morning. The whole house had woken up to a much fresher state. Ani does her usual activities and her two children prepare to go to school.

Ani said, brother and sister later mother does not drive to school ya !''

'' it's okay Mom, we've grown up said Padli

After breakfast, the mother and child leave the house together and separate to their respective destinations.

Ani headed to the office place to work while Padli drove Putri first and then he went to his school.

Padli grew older and understood the responsibility of being a boy who had to protect his little sister and tried to protect her.
