What was that? Tama shook his head to expel the taste left behind. It's strange!
"Why Brother?"
"Mmd? No."
They then moved to a shoe store.
"Mmh, what? School shoes?"
"I went to school. You should go to school."
"Outside?" Mei still doesn't understand.
"Yes, no. You go to school with me. You're in 1st grade High School, right? Then we can be in class."
Mei looked at Tama, confused. "Truly school?"
"Well, when I lied!"
"School Sister must be expensive." Mei tilted her head.
"Nih mother and son, same thing. Don't think about it, it's also my need."
"Mmh?"
"I need a Bodyguard wherever I go. Bodyguards always have to follow where the boss is going. Aye right? ... Find it first. Shoes to the office and work shoes."
While at Chris' house, the husband and wife were happy that Anna finally came to visit the house. For so long this woman was difficult to contact and suddenly she came as if she knew the time of execution was near. Rafi's husband will be executed on Tuesday, according to a court announcement.
Anna's face was a little pale and looked thinner than the last she came. Chris and Reina looked at him with worry.
"Anna, you're from anywhere, why are you here just now?"
Reina touched Chris' hand and shook her head. He then grabbed Anna's arm. "Have you had breakfast?"
"Oh, already," he replied with a flat face.
"You want to stay here, right?"
"Eh .. I want to see Lydi." His face looks serious.
"Come upstairs, I'm with you."
Anna held Reina's arm. "Oh, sorry Ma'am. I want to talk to him both."
Reina looked at him pity. Are they, this mother and son going to cry together after Anna tells him that her husband, Lydia's father, must serve his sentence of being shot dead in front of a gunman? He handed the decision to Anna by letting the woman walk alone up the stairs.
Reina and Chris waited downstairs. Not long before Anna came down alone. The husband and wife immediately got up as Anna came closer.
"I want to go home, Ma'am, Assalamualaikum."
Reina immediately grabbed his hand. "Eh, don't you stay here to accompany Lydi? You're safer here than living alone."
Anna patted Reina's hand. "It's okay, Ma'am. I have something to do so I have to go. Don't worry about it."
The couple could only see Anna's departure without being able to prevent it. Just comforting them they can't.

Tama and Mei are eating at a fast food restaurant. They eat burgers and fries. Tama notices Mei checking out her new phone by eating slowly but voraciously, but the girl also orders the same portion of it, a large burger and medium-sized pack fries. He was so astonished to see the girl that Mei finally realized he was being noticed.
"Why?"
"No, I'm just surprised. Your body is thin but you eat a lot." Tama chewed her burger.
"Oh." Mei looks relaxed while pulling one piece of fries, smeared onto the chili sauce on the plate and eating it.
Tama is getting curious. "Don't you rarely eat anymore ...."
"No."
"Then?"
"Not knowing."
"Mmh?"
"From the time I ate this much? My sister just has trouble eating, because it's thin, but it looks like you're eating ...."
"I just don't eat rice."
Tama furrowed her eyebrows. "Why?"
"Dislike it."
"Times?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Lho, but you sell vegetables. Don't you like dong, too?"
"Yes. Usually eat vegetables."
"Squeen!"
"Yes." Yeah."
Both giggle.
----------+++----------
Someone knocked on the door. The door lock sounded moving. The face of a girl in the hijab of Istanbul is seen emerging from behind the door.
"Oh, what's wrong, brother?"
"It's got perfume and deodorant for you." Tama offered a unique peach-colored glass bottle and another small white glass bottle.
"Oh, thank you, brother." Mei took both of them with pleasure. Today, there are so many gifts that Tama gave her, making her inexhaustible, why the young man was so good to her, Mei did not realize that happy smile was a little disturbing Tama's heartbeat.
Tama still stands. It's like waiting.
"What brother?"
"This ...." He called with his hand.
"There's something I want to talk to you about."
Mei put the two bottles on her room table and returned to the door, looking puzzled as Tama glanced to the left right and pulled herself out of the room. May closed the room door. After that Tama opened the door of her room and put Mei inside. The girl panicked as Tama closed the door of her room.
"What am I here for?"
"Help me dong!"
"Huh?"
Tama pulled her school bag from under the desk. He searched and pulled out some books. "Please do the job in Indonesian, the same history?" He also took out a stationery.
"But I haven't been to school yet, I don't know."
"Oh, that's easy. That will be discussed before the question. Coulda sure. Can you?" asked the young man to relax.
"If it's easy why don't you do it yourself?"
"I'm lazy to just copy the doang. My new low-level Attack game is not finished yet. You can help me out. This is easy ...."
This ....
Tama pulls out a chair for May. "You need what to say. Want a cold drink or juice?"
Mei was still confused as to her attitude but slowly she sat down on that chair.
"This, this page and this." Tama opened the book that the girl had to work on. "You want some juice, huh? It's chilly? I'll get it downstairs, okay?" Tama's back out.
Mei reads the assignment from the book Tama asked to work on. Right, it is not too difficult to do because the answer is already there but why does Kak Tama not want to do it? Hah, you lazy fuck! Is it because every day I have to help with schoolwork so he buys me things? Hah, why so many more of my duties ...," Mei scolded inwardly.
Before long Tama came up with a glass of orange juice in hand. He saw Mei began to do her job. slowly put the glass on the front desk of the history book that May did. The girl, just glimpsed and continued to do schoolwork belonging to the young man.
Tama then went up to the bed. He lay face down while hugging the bolster and then took out his cellphone. The young man started playing his game.
At first there were noises coming from Tama's mouth because the game was starting to get exciting, but then Mei started to not stand it when the young man started screaming.
"Yeah!!" Tama shouted while raising her hand.
"Sister!"
"Eh, sorry."
"Can't it be no noise, can it?" Mei nagged while scowling.
"Yes, I can." Tama nodded slowly, afraid to see the girl angry.
Mei still highlighted her annoyance before returning to work on the young man's duties.
Tama returned to playing the game secretly, but for a long time he was bored. He shut off his phone.
The young man then looked at Mei's back while recalling why lately he was often surprised to see the sweet smile of the girl in front of him, though his life is surrounded by women and often see beautiful women like his Sister-in-law itself Leka, or also fierce girls like his sister Aiko, but he saw her mediocre. He has often seen it in his daily life, but why when he saw Mei, he felt different, but Mei was not as beautiful as his Sister-in-law Leka or his sister Aiko.
The door is knocked and opened. Aiko appeared with a surprised face. "Eh, Ma'am here ... Uh, how's it going here?" He repeated his sentence. The girl squinted her eyes while looking towards the bed. It turned out that Tama had fallen asleep on her bed while holding her cellphone. He turned his head again towards Mei who was writing beside the table. "Bak ngerjain sis school duty huh?"
"Eh, mmh ...." Mei confused to answer.
Aiko immediately came to Tama and grabbed her hair. "Ihhh, why is the task not done alone anyway!"
"Oh, ouch, ouch, quarrel ... What the hell!" Tama who had just fallen asleep woke up instantly. He stood beside Aiko. "What are you doing, little boy!"
"Don't do it yourself, don't tell people!"
"You don't know, don't be pretentious! I pay him to know!"
"That can't be ...!"
"Can. I have money, why .. weee!" Tama stuck out her tongue.
Mei only saw the quarrel of the two and was silent. The fight was eventually won by Tama. The young man threw his sister out.
"I'll say Leka's mother!"
"Tell me, I'm afraid. Weee!" Tama still stuck out her tongue before closing the door. As he turned around, he saw Mei holding back a laugh with a slight look down. She was a little embarrassed to see Mei find out her style of quarreling with her sister, very childish. "Eh, that's normal .. My sister's still in that Elementary School." He rubbed the back of his head.
"The task is done, brother. Excuse me for going out" said Mei politely.
"Oh .. yes, yes." Back to opening the door.

Chris watches the news on his laptop. He is trying to find out more about the decision of the Rafi court or the Mariko-Arya plane that crashed in Japan. He is now listening to news from Japan about the removal of the downed aircraft on Monday.
"Mmh, the field looks difficult yes because it has been almost a week of the rapture of the body, not yet finished. The lifting of the plane also means that it is possible to be faster to lift the remaining bodies because many bodies are in the plane that broke 3." Chris turned towards Reina who was silent earlier. "Why?"
"Mmh, no. I'm just confused. When I went upstairs to see Lydi, I thought she was crying because she had just met her mother, but she wasn't. It was like he was surprised to see me in his room." Reina looks serious.
"Shocked why?"
"So, he seems to be unpacking his stuff."
"Mmd? What's for?"
"I don't know either." Reina shook her head.
---------+++----------
Mei's bedroom door was knocked back. "Oh, Brother. Is there anything else, brother?" The girl was surprised.
"We're having dinner downstairs."
"below? For what reason, I'm not family."
Tama smiled. "It's okay. To enliven just because under deserted. Besides, maybe one day you will also be asked to protect them, my sister and brother-in-law because you are the only female Bodyguard here."
"But my shirt ...." Mei stared at her shabby pajamas.
"That's a sign that you Bodyguard's not the owner of the house." Tama remains unconcerned and pulls Mei out of the room. The girl finally complied.
