Alma was still in the tomb of her mother. Everyone had already gone home, leaving the girl who was still silent with her blank gaze staring at the mound of earth that had just covered her mother's body.
There was still Kirei who faithfully accompanied the girl. Arka and Dirga have also followed since. While Daniel, the young man had already gone home after being called by his mother.
Ara and the others had also left the burial area. He and the others returned to Alma's house to pack all the girl's valuables. They decided that the poor girl would take her to Ara's house.
"I.." Kirei patted slowly on Alma's shoulder which immediately raised his head. His eyes looked swollen from crying.
"We go home yes.buna with the others must have been waiting". Kirei crouched down next to Alma and clasped the girl's hand.
"But Ki's own mother.." Lirih Alma looked back at the mound of land.
"Your mother was calm Al.had not been sick anymore. Now all we have to do is doain mom. Kasian mom lo lo lo rich gini". Persuade Kirei.
"Lo promised you, you won't cry anymore for mom". Kirei reminded Alma's promise to Ara.
Alma wiped away the tears that suddenly came back dripping again, she nodded. Kirei and his mother were right, he could not continue to dissolve in grief. He must be successful in order for his father and mother to be happy in heaven.
With Kirei's help, Alma got up. Before actually leaving the burial area Alma turned back to the tomb of the mother then smiled sadly.
"You guys are back? Where are Arka and Dirga?". Tanya Dira streaks
"One-one mah nanya. I'm confused the answer". Sahut Kirei made Dira let out a long sigh. Why is this beautiful niece so happy to argue with him.
"Ck.why should debate mamah anyway. Just answer it". Ketus Dira pretends to sulk.
"Bang Arka same Dirga outside my mother dear. I took him to Alma's room anyway". Kirei's voice was made as soft as possible.
"We've tidied up all your clothes and valuables, son. You'll stay with Kirei". Dira stroked Alma's head gently.
"I'm sorry Alma aunt..Alma's troubling you all". Alma lowered her head, feeling uneasy to trouble people as good as Kirei and his family.
"Absolutely not. We're happy if this bad girl has a girl friend at home. So he'll learn to cook, not play ball". Sahut Putri who happened to hear the chatter of Alma and Dira.
"Astagfirullah.What kind of mother are you. Blaming your own child. Absolutely outrageous". Kirei turned his lips back because his disgrace was opened in front of his friend.
"Isn't mom right? You always play ball with those two bad boys. Your behavior is so dilapidated. Dizziness mami saw". Princess massages her temples. His head suddenly dizzy considering the behavior of three teenagers who often make the mothers drunk.
While Alma only smiled gently looking at Kirei's interaction with the mother of the man who had been able to shake her heart since the first time she saw him. But he realized where his position was, he was only an orphan who even dreamed of Arka he did not feel worthy.
"We're leaving now, son". Raisya's soft voice brought him to his senses from his momentary daydream. He nodded and smiled gently at the woman in awe who was looking at him with great concern.
"Good aunt.." Alma wanted to take over her suitcase, but a burly hand grabbed the suitcase she had just held.
"Let me bring it". Arka's voice was like a melodious roar that greeted the girl's ears. All the interactions that occur between the two do not escape the observation of a mother who has since continued to pay attention to her son.
"Eh.no, no, brother. I can still bring it myself". Alma tried to snatch the suitcase that was in Arka's hand.
Regardless of Alma's words, Arka came out carrying a large suitcase containing Alma's clothes and valuables.
"Let her take him dear. We're out now". Ara hugged Alma's shoulder trying to line up Arka who was carrying her suitcase.
"Mommy wants to have a ghost". Goda Kirei pulled out the Princess's arm which immediately turned to her.
"Mami was afraid that Arka was playing the girl as well as Alma". Lirih Putri made Kirei frown.
"You know how Arka's been doing all this time. Mami is afraid she's treating Alma like another girl". The princess explained when she saw the confused look on the face of the girl who was like her biological daughter.
"Oooh.mami be calm. Bang Arka has cooked up.it's tame now". Kekeh Kirei grabbed her mammoth shoulder and took it out before the other three queens shouted at her.

"This is lo's room. That's my room in front". Kirei had just escorted Alma to the room that the girl was going to stay in during Kirei's stay.
Alma circulated her gaze, this room is so spacious. It might even be 3x the size of the room in his house.
"This is not excessive Ki? I can sleep with bi Inah or bi Susi". Tawar Alma who felt hesitant to occupy such a luxurious room.
"Ish..lo want my hair made permanent curly amu my mother if biarin elo move from this room". Kirei's sizzle was followed by the sound of someone laughing which made the two girls look at the door.
There already stood Arka who was wearing her casual clothes. Looks more fresh and makes Alma more fascinated.
"Ngapain lo laugh". Fierce Kirei began to wave his war flag.
"Gue again bergebayangin if your straight hair is dredged ama buna. Haha". Arka's laughter echoed even more, upsetting Kirei.
"Shuh.shuh. Sono lo bang. This is not your place". Kirei pushes Arka's body still laughing at her. Nobody is funny here.
"Gue was told by Buna to call you both. If you want to really be dikeritingin ama buna, hunt invite Alma down. Told eat". Arka explained her purpose in the girl's room.

"Daddy!!". Pekik Kirei was excited to see Sam at the table eating with the others.
Dev chuckles annoyed at the enthusiasm of his daughter meeting with her boyfriend.
"Why are you so happy to meet your daddy?". Dev's annoyance made Kirei who was hugging Sam turn his head.
"When you go home, you're never that enthusiastic". Dev's tone of voice sounded so upset at the familiarity of his baby and his old friend.
"You jealous?". Ledek Sam who increasingly tightened his embrace on the girl who called him daddy.
"Be quiet". Fierce Dev glanced at the annoyed Sam who chuckled amusedly seeing Dev jealous of his closeness to Kirei.
"Come.father. Kirei meets with dad every day. But daddy and mommy rarely come here. I miss them so much". Kirei was still in Sam's arms.
"Sucks". Dev muttered and continued his eating activities.
"Yes, you miss your daddy and mommy so much. Because they never scold you and always obey your wishes". Sindir Ara was on target.
"Buna's right.he's spoiled. At school, he was very..." Arka had not yet finished her sentence, her mouth was already stuffed with chicken thighs.
"Yes.mommy never nags me like a buna and mamah. Especially mommy". Sahut Kirei cuek and started sitting properly for dinner.
"Yeah. This kid's a bitch". The Princess's growl made Kirei chuckle.
Alma could feel the warmth within the Kirei extended family. How lucky the girl was to be surrounded by people who loved her so much. But he is more fortunate to be a friend than a beautiful girl who turns out to be so sweet and spoiled if at home.
"Eat the boy.don't listen to their debates. It won't be finished until the day after". Suddenly Raisya placed a plate complete with its contents in front of Alma who immediately blinked.
"Eh.i.iya aunt. Sorry to bother auntie". Alma replied unkindly as he continued to trouble the Kirei family.
Dev continues to pay attention to the interaction of Sam and the princess. He never thought, the man who used to be so strange and never serious can now be so wise to respond to everything that befell him and Raisya. Even Sam can be a father figure that makes Kirei comfortable near him.
"Eat my dear.you will not be full just to see Sam feed your beautiful child". Ara stroked Dev's shoulder while glancing at Sam and Kirei who looked so close.
"Say you envy me". Ledek Kirei while smiling sweetly at the mother. Ara was throbbing, annoyed with her daughter's behavior.
"Your son sucks. So just accept it". Said Dira who had just listened.
The dinner was filled with laughter that allowed Alma to forget for a moment the pettiness of her life that had just been left by the only family she had.

"Thank you Ki.." Kirei stopped the movement of his hand opening the car door. Both have now arrived at the school. Kirei furrowed his forehead staring in Alma's eyes.
"Thank you for everything. Create a new home and family that you love for me". A drop of clear crystal dripped down his white cheeks.
Kirei threw out his rude breath, annoyed with Alma who kept apologizing and thanking him.
"Gue told me ama lo. Stop saying sorry and thank you. Cape I'm horrifying. Ah, let's go down. Do you want to be baked by Joko sir in the field?". Kirei warns Alma that this morning the first hour is Mr. Joko.
"Out more test, huh? I forgot". Alma patted his forehead, forgetting that today the killer teacher was going to test his student's learning skills again.
"Well..learn kaga lo?". Both got out of the car at the same time. From afar Kirei saw his cousin's brother already leaning against the walls of his class.
"Basic lizard, pepet terooss". Inner Kirei giggled at seeing his cousin brother who was like getting karma for giving hope to other girls too often. Now when the man approached Alma. Alma seemed to keep her distance.
"Weeiiitss.it's already here aja lo bang". Kirei raised his eyebrows, teasing the irritating Arka.
"Mami's deposit makes you both". Arka thrusts a plastic inside which there is Kirei's favorite cake.
"Surely from mami?". Kirei is increasingly flirting with his cousin who already looks wrong, while Alma should not be asked again. His face was already as bright as a tomato hearing Kirei's temptation.
"Whisper lo!". Arka chooses to pass leaving Kirei who laughs satisfied to see his cousin's brother misbehaving.
"Basic abg labile". Kirei giggled amusedly, then entered the classroom, leaving Alma who was still staring at the door watching the sturdy back of the man who had managed to fill his heart away.
"Pursue to the Al. Diliatin doang mah kaga is coming back. Beware that lo jump eyes long-long glaring at the lizard". Kirei's voice made Alma tiptoe. His face turned red as he was caught staring at Arka.
"A.what the hell are you. My people don't see anything". Alma stuttered and hurriedly entered the classroom.
"Basic bucin". Ledek Kirei.
"Ssttt.already ah. You're noisy.I want to study, take the exam". Alma was busy reading his book even though in fact his mind was still imprinted on Arka's handsome face.
"Focus Alma.focus. You must be a successful person in order to repay the kindness of the Kirei family. Don't think of a guy! Focus up!!". Alma tried to focus herself on the book in front of her.
