Because tired after playing in the time zone earlier, until rented Dila immediately went to sleep after praying isa, as well as Asri, tonight they both slept so soundly. It was as if the problem that Dila was facing disappeared all over, because tonight was filled with happiness.

Unbeknownst to Dila, it turns out Asri and her three room neighbors have prepared a surprise birthday party on a small scale. Asri and Evan who were both in the market last night bought watermelons and mangoes. It turns out to be quietly stopping by the cake shop, and buying a small birthday cake that Evan brought over the watermelon he had brought last night.

And the morning after the morning from the mosque with Evan and Kunto, Dila was shocked when she opened the door to her room.

" Surprise...!", exclaimed Asri, Evan, Kunto and Joko together.

In front of Dila it appears Asri carrying a birthday cake with the number 17 candle on a heart-shaped birthday cake on which there is the inscription 'HBD Karina Nadila'.

Suddenly a gunshot-like sound was heard from behind Dila, it turned out that Joko was directing the popper party towards Dila and immediately small pieces of paper scattered to rain down Dila and Asri, respectively, also regarding Evan and Kunto standing behind Dila, they all clapped their hands while singing happy birthday songs together.

🎶 Happy birthday we said....

happy long life we pray for....

happy healthy sentosa....

happy long life and happy....🎶

So surprised Dila to spitchles and can not say anything. Only happy tears forced her out and wet her cheeks.

" Kok even cry Dil, now let's make a wish in the heart, then blow the candle". Asri approached as well as Dila approached the cake brought by Asri and blew the candle until the candle was extinguished.

" Ye... now is the time I like the most, which is to cut the cake, we eat the cake together", Joko said making all laugh freely.

Dila cut the birthday cake and handed out the cake. The first piece for Asri, and overtakes the others.

" Kadonya then yes later, because Semalem want to buy fear of returning home" said Evan, as he approached Dila and poked Dila's nose with his finger full of whipped cream.

Others follow along doing the same thing until Dila cemong's face is full of whipped cream. The whipped cream war was going on, the five children were now finally spruce-faced like clowns.

Tired of laughing and joking, they sat in front of the room while cleaning their faces with wet wipes.

Kunto let out mineral water for them to drink, and their laughter all came to a halt when Intan suddenly appeared and passed by them without greeting them. Intan looks very tired because he just came home from work early in the morning like this.

Dila immediately remembered Intan's offer yesterday, but of course Dila will talk to Intan later, when Intan has rested first.

" Are we going to be nemenin Dila nyari home address prospective employer to Jakarta?", Joko spoke softly, afraid his voice was heard by Intan.

" Of course so, but after Dila spoke to her neighbors first" said Evan who also said softly.

" Now that we have the event this morning, it is starting to light up, we take a shower and get ready to accompany Dila later".

The five children disperse, getting ready to take a bath.

Asri went straight to the bathroom, while Dila chose to meet Intan first.

" Sister Intan this Dila, can Dila come in?".

Shortly thereafter, the door to the room opened.

" In Dil", Dila went into Intan's room, and Diamond closed the room again.

Dila stared at the diamond room which turned out to be quite spacious, the size was twice the size of Dila's room, about 4x3 meters, there was a spring bed, a two-door cabinet, a small refrigerator and a small bathroom inside. There was a television attached to the front wall of the bed.

" It turns out that Intan's room is quite spacious yes, pantesan at home for days in the room".

Intan smiled at Dila's words.

" It's not that I feel at home in the room, it's just that when I come home from work it's really tired it feels like energy runs out, so lazy out of the room".

" I want breakfast, just bought the same lontong know the contents on the road, you want?, if you want to take it".

"But it looks like you guys already ate cake together huh?".

Dila nodded affirming Intan's words.

" Friends made a surprise party for me, today I'm the 17th birthday sister".

Intan stared in disbelief, "really?, then happy birthday to Dil".

" Okay. I don't know, so don't make any gifts".

Intan stood up and looked into her room, looking like she was looking for something, then with a smile Intan picked up a pair of earrings. Flower shaped earrings with a jewel in the center.

" This is all, a gift for you, it seems suitable if you wear, sorry is not new, I have used it once but also no one understands and sees me ever wear it. You are not yet wearing earrings, if you wear this must be more beautiful". Intan put her earrings on Dila's ear.

" Right, you look more beautiful, there will be many young people who fall in love with beautiful girls like you". Intan smiled satisfied because her earrings were very beautiful to wear by Dila.

" But this is excessive, sis, I just let go again yes, this gift is too expensive for me, we both will be new to know", Dila still feels bad with expensive gifts from Intan, Intan, a pair of very beautiful gold earrings.

" It's actually also a gift from people, it's been a long time, and I forgot who you're wearing it from, I didn't buy it myself, and I sincerely love it to you".

" Oh yeah, you're here to give me the answer to my offer yesterday, huh?". Intan sat on the mattress spring bed and pulled Intan to sit next to her.

" Yes Kak, I want to, but before starting work, can I ask for the home address where I used to work?", Dila tried to arrange the sentence so that Intan was not offended.

" Yes, I'll send you the address later, via a short message. So when can you start work?, let me tell you my acquaintance, if you want to accept the offer to be a baby sitter child friend".

" When it starts working tomorrow, how's Dil?".

Dila immediately shook her head, because she had not checked the house where she worked.

" When Monday what about Kak?, tomorrow I have an appointment with friends because", Dila had to lie to find an excuse.

" Yes, let me pass it to my acquaintances first yeah".

Dila nodded.

" Then I say goodbye first Brother, today invited to go for a walk with friends. Thanks again very much, Brother Intan".

Dila came out of Intan's room and was immediately stopped by four friends.

" Have been sent the address, I took a shower first, we immediately find the address of the house that will be my work place", whispered Dila, others nodded in agreement.

However Evan and Kunto looked at Dila with strange gazes. Like there was something different from Dila, which clearly Dila looks more beautiful when out of Intan's room, no matter what's different, they both haven't noticed.

At 7 am, everyone is ready to start the journey to Jakarta. First, the five of them took a bus to the terminal of the island of Gadung.

Two-door buses that have brought quite a lot of passengers, the five of them have to sit separated because they are looking for a bench that is still empty.

Dila sat alone with Asri. Evan was sitting on the opposite bench with the stranger, Kunto and Joko were sitting some distance away, two benches behind Dila.

" Where's the pretty neng going?" ask kernet bus.

" To Pulo gadung Bang", replied Dila.

" Pay 6,500 per head".

Dila directly took the money from his pants pocket and paid the fare for him and Asri.

" Later home replace me who paid", whispered Asri.

Dila just smiled in response to Asri's words, Dila was just about to go to Jakarta. This is his first trip with his new friends.

It turns out that the journey from Cibitung to Pulo gadung is quite long, Dila to sleep while on the bus. Not to mention the congestion that occurred at some point, making the journey even longer.

Until finally they arrived at Pulo gadung around 9 am, almost 2 hours drive.

Dila and Asri got off the bus, as did the others.

" We go directly to the address sent by Intan. But before we start breakfast first yes, this morning just eat cake, at this hour the stomach began to protest", whinek Joko.

Finally the five of them entered the warteg around the terminal. In Dila's warteg deliberately wondered to the owner of the newspaperg about the address that was in his car.

" I'm sorry Mom, have you been selling here for a long time?", asked Dila in pleasantries.

" It has been 7 years Ma'am, mbaknya Javanese also yes?, the dialect is somewhat similar to me" said the owner of the warteg.

" Yes Ma'am, I'm native to Java, again look for the address of Bu, if you want to go to this address, which transportation ride is yes Ma'am?, you know not?".

Warteg's owner read the address Dila pointed out. " Oh, if this is not very far from here, mbaknya just ride the red angkot select the 'kw 15', it will be lewatin area here, at least 10 minutes have arrived".

" But the angkot is just passing by, will not enter the housing anyway Ma'am, this is elite housing, so usually only homeowners and relatives or guests are allowed into the housing complex".

Asri who heard the reply of the owner of the warteg immediately nudged Dila's arm.

" I'm sorry Mom, if you may know, this is an elite housing complex and it's a private house right, Mom?, not a place like a hotel, motel or inn like that?", asked Dila trying to convince herself.

" Of course not Ma'am, there access to entry is limited, the housing wong of rich people, whose security costs are expensive, not just anyone can enter".

The warteg owner's answer could be heard by Dila and the others.

One of the buyers in Warteg spoke up. "Neng, if you are a maid in sono, neng is lucky, because it is said that people all money, big houses, but most of the owners are busy with work, the house is just a place to rest. You see, the denger cave of neighbors who work in sono nyuci same nyetrika, a day it was paid for cepe, where the clothes that were washed he said were still clean and still fragrant, it is very important to work in sono".

Dila nodded, "Thank you for the information Bang".

" Mommy we ate it, how much?".

Dila handed him a hundred thousand bills.

" This is the return of Ma'am, if so work there, often stop by if through here".

I accepted the change and thanked him.
