"Assalamualaikum! " Rifan deliberately raised his voice as if he were someone else.

The grandmother's slow steps from the family room were moved to the front door because she heard greetings from someone.

"Vaalaikumussa... Rifans? " unfinished grandma answered the greetings from the person who was outside the door, he was surprised first with the presence of his beloved grandson apparently.

"Surprise grandma! "

"Why is there anything to come home all of a sudden like this! " question grandma was so worried that even her eyes were already glazed over while holding onto Rifan's shoulders, face and arms.

"Ya kangen dong Nek, hahaha is on vacation a week by chance my friend and his father has business here so all nebeng, they are German granny tomorrow Rifan bring here deh! "

"Oalah alhamdulillah yes let's go in, eat surely you are tired right? "

"I can't wait to eat Grandma's cooking!"

Without changing clothes first Rifan directly to the dining table on which there are various menus available. Grandma is always cooking a delicious menu every day especially now there is a aunt Rifan and her husband.

"Somebody made this story a surprise! " said aunt Maya half-literate out of the kitchen.

"So the story is on do not like this if I go home, yaudah I come back this ni yaa. hold my hand dong Nek hold ! "

"It's your style, see your favorite chicken chrysanthemum just lifted from the frying pan is still sure to go back? justin aja nek he's back let us eat this all without this little boy! anyway can fit right gini mah we cook delicious eh nongol from abroad ni son!"

"Mas Lifaaaaan! " shouted the fat boy as he rubbed his eyes from the door of the room, who else if not the son of his aunt.

"Eee the gendutttt, has been left a year still can not say the letter R. What the hell is this hour just waking up! not this Rifan drop! "

Remembering that Sunday school is indeed a holiday.

"Not what drip? you used to fit at home if you did not get up too fit azan Zuhur, if not also fitting laper. Is it nek? " the mother tried to defend.

"Where is it, sootoy your mama is it hahaha! " said Rifan defending himself while devouring fried chicken.

"Have you washed your hands! " send grandma to Rifan who forgets to wash his hands.

"Mas Lifan time did not know, I was in the middle of the word bu gulu fine like this nih washing his hands bial clean." oceh the fat Rendi while demonstrating how to wash hands with details.

"Mas Lifan mas Lifan, Rrrrrifan try to say Rrrrr... "

Rifan who was sitting on the dining table chair switched his crouching position in front of Rendi. Appeared his snub to tease his adorable daughter.

With innocence, Rendi immediately followed the instructions of Rifan.

"Try to follow me! "

Rendi nodded indicating agreement.

"Mas Rrrrrrrr..."

"Mas Llllllllll's... "

"Not Lllll but Rrrr... "

"Ollll... "

"Bus Rrrrrr. "

"Mas Llllllllll aaaah mother Lendi can not motheraaa! "

"Iiihhh Rifan don't like godain Rendi keepsss." Maya begins to get upset with Rifan's messiness with her son.

"Rifan." said the grandmother slowly, shaking her head at the behavior of her nosy granddaughter did not change.

Without poking Maya's words, Rifan immediately left the kitchen to his room to clean up. Room I've always missed the past year.

Very comfortable, Allah, this mattress, this pillow is very grateful to be able to design this place again. The mattress that was a silent witness accompanied my puberty dreams. Very rich, hahaha!

Lirih Rifan laid down on the mattress as his hands moved up and down like he was swimming.

Look carefully at each part of his beloved room. His gaze stopped on the study table, there was a photo of two familiar snot boys.

Why do you say Gini Da, now you can not escape! you have to clear everything! guess what's good in a whole year's cuekin for no reason!

Lirih Rifan is full of determination.

After finishing cleaning himself, Rifan opened the backpack containing some clothes that he brought home.

Batik clothes based on black sesetel with light brown material pants selected with origin by Rifan. Actually, he prefers to wear a shirt with jeans but this time to attend the graduation ceremony of his friends Rifan trying to appear formal.

Finished dressing Rifan back to the kitchen because the worms in his stomach had thrashed for food.

"Mas Lifan where are you going, Lendi coming? "

"Just nyampe, where are you going to be neat and very rich to want a kobul ijab." asked Maya.

"Yes Nang, not a break!" timpal granny.

"Today graduation Nida nek eh Doni also with the time of Rifan did not come si, the main purpose of going home in addition to the grandmother nemuin ya want to digelametin them it."

Maya and Grandma were silent for a moment, they looked at each other. While Rifan who was rolling up his sleeves was unaware of the expressions on their faces.

Since Nida asked Doni to keep his condition a secret to Rifan. Doni also asks Rifan's family to hide Nida's unpleasant news from Rifan.

"Oiya Nek, is Nida really not playing here? "

Not had time to answer Rifan's question, Rendi with a mouth that is still chewing trying to ask something to her mother.

"Buwnda, anti Nlida itwu ywang kwita wiyat in lumasakit kemalen pas Lendi fever kwan nda!"

"Well, by the way, if you want to talk in Telen first! " Rifan who was anxious with Rendi's vague speech.

Fortunately this child does not know the same what Rendi said,

Maya gulps a glass of water to feel relieved by the words of her son who can not be understood clearly by Rifan. Yesterday Rendi had a fever and had met Nida who was checking up at the hospital.

"Eh Grandma, I'm going to leave at 10am! bocil can't come. Go first tan! " with a motor key that has been in his hand.

"Are you sure you want to take a motorbike?"

"Confident! I forgot what the bike is! by assalamualaikum. "

Btw still saucy aja the moge, thanks tan her husband well really want to help ngerawat.

"Is now the time for Rifan to know about Nida's condition? " question the grandmother to Maya while looking at Rifan who is already on the motorbike.

"We wish you the best! "

"Mother Lendi wants vc ayaaah! "

"Wihhhhh high as well as brother-in-law! "

Rifan stepped among the crowd while clapping for his sohib who was on the podium.

Wellhh Nida Faculty has passed, too late!

Lirih Rifan stared at his watch.

Rame Gini, how loud is this!

Fate is still on Rifan's side. He saw Lily standing not far from where Lily was standing not alone there was Nida beside him. But it seems like Rifan has yet to realize who is next to Lily.

"Li! " Rifan half yelled making sure it was really Lily.

Lily reflexively turned her head towards Rifan.

"Da, there's Rifan here! " Lily was so nervous and immediately whispered to Nida who was sitting in a wheelchair.

Lily had already told Nida about Rifan's return, but who would have thought it would be that easy for them to meet.

"Ly don't let Rifan see me ly!" Nida who used a wheelchair inched backwards in search of a denser crowd.

Lily desperately wanted to pretend not to see Rifan coming but it was too late that Rifan had already walked towards them.

"Eh sory sory! " said Rifan apologized for bumping into someone with his hasty path.

"Ehhh Rifan right?"

"Ehhh Hanum right? "
