"Sister JiJo... How's the opening of the third mall?" ask Zean Sin.
They're making a video call.
"Why are you with mami and papi, aren't you busy as a policewoman?" ask Jidan Sin.
"I'm on leave to accompany them, when are you going home?" ask Zean again.
"Next year, if our work is smooth." replied Jordan Sin.
"Bring Kalfi and his family. I miss him." said Zean.
"If we're all going to Indonesia, then what about SinMart? You come to American Zean." said Jidan.
"I find it hard to ask for a leave of absence, at least a month if I want to go to America and meet you" Zean replied.
"Your own fault chose that job Zean. You don't want to come with us to take care of SinMart" Jordan said.
"Don't start again Jordan, only Zean is the pride of the papi" said Tora Sin.
"Well I'm wrong again, okay pi I know Zean your favorite son." replied Jordan.
"Who said you weren't Papi's favorite son, you were still our best son" Sherly said.
"Mommy always defends papi. You're healthy, right?" ask Jidan.
"As you can see, we're very healthy, son. You're the one who has to take care of yourself." Sherly replied.
"They're healthy, brother, but the mami's getting stinky." said Zean.
Sherly pulls Zean's ear until she screams. The twins just laughed at that.
"Married to Brian, you fit that guy perfectly" Jidan said.
"No, very nosy man." replied Zean.
"Aren't you also nosy, I think you guys are a good fit" Jordan said.
"You must marry first. Have you found the ideal woman?" ask Zean.
Jidan and Jordan Sin looked at each other. Sherly's more sensitive than the others.
"Oh no, don't say it baby. You need to find two women" Sherly said.
Tora Sin and Zean looked at her mother in confusion. Both of them were shocked after understanding it.
"No, Brother JiJo, you cannot have the same taste. There are a lot of women in America" Zean said.
"We didn't say anything to you, why are you like that" Jordan said.
"You can't lie to your mom" Sherly said.
"We were just interested, the woman was so cute" Jordan replied.
"No, if you fight over it." said Tora.
"OK, okay... It's getting late now. We have to sleep now, bye.." Jidan said.
Tora shook her head. "Let them sleep, take care of your health" he said, turning off his laptop.

"No, if the toy is familiar. But this is a pi woman." Sherly said after they relaxed.
"Mommy take it easy, they're getting older. It's impossible to fight because of a woman." said Tora.
"But right mi, brother JiJo can't do that. If that happens, I'll shoot them in the leg." Zean said.
"You just carelessly said it Zean. Mami has to call Kalfi." Sherly said.
Both shakes. "There late at night, you'll disturb Kalfi to rest." said Tora.
"Oh my God, I'm just afraid of Ji and Jo. It's a dispute that will destroy them." Sherly replied.
"Mommy take it easy, they're just interested" Zean said.
"From being interested will turn into a greater feeling Zean" Sherly said. "Mommy has to go there." she continued.
Tora and Zean laughed. "Tell me if you want a vacation there" said Tora.
Sherly bends her face and it scares Tora. Zean left them, he didn't want to interfere with his parents' problems.
"Sorry, baby, but your worries haven't happened yet. Don't be mad at me anymore, if our son gets into a dispute over a woman, I promise I'll take you there." seduced Tora.
"You didn't help me at all, we used to face a lot of weapons because of your work. This time I don't want our son to face a gun in his own family" Sherly said.
Tora pulls Sherly into her arms. "I'm not gonna let that happen, baby. Jordan and Jidan are growing up, I'm sure they can't make a mistake just because of one woman" Tora replied.
"You remember when they were kids. Both have the same taste. Until I had to buy them the exact same toys. But after that, they still grabbed the same toy. And always make them fight. I'm so scared of pi." said Sherly.
Tora Sin knows what his wife feels, it is not easy to face the twins. He recalled his wife having trouble raising her two sons before Zean was born. And that's what made Tora Sin send her son to school in America. Sherly refuses because she is afraid of losing them. But in the end, the twins left and Sherly went to America often until Tora's father died.
"I know how you feel baby, our son is getting bigger. Trust them." said Tora.
Sherly will indeed calm down if Tora has spoken like that. She nodded and put her head on her husband's shoulder. They were no longer young, but their love never changed. Tora loved him even more.

Three days later, Zean will be back at work. He was very happy to see his parents for 4 days. Both are healthy and never quarrel. He loved both very much.
Uncle Ario is right, papi and mami love each other. At the age of those who are not young anymore, I can still feel the magnitude of that feeling. Especially papi, papi is very afraid of losing mami. When Mami bends her face in annoyance, papi tries to comfort her. I am so lucky to have parents like them. Had Uncle Ario and uncle Darko been alive, they would have been very happy to see papi and mami. Uncle Ario died while on duty, while uncle Darko could not fight his illness. But the two must be in heaven seeing papi together mami still happy, thought Zean.
Zean Sin was once betrothed to the sons of Ario and Darko, but Zean and the son of Tora's best friend both refused, so they did not continue the match. Putra Ario is already a police officer with the rank of Inspector Dua in Jakarta, while Darko's son also serves as a police Brigadier in Kalimantan. But Tora and her best friend's family did not impose the wishes of their child.
And Zean is now still betrothed to the doctor's son Jack, although Zean always refuses. But Zean was always in touch with Brian. Tora and Jack knew about it, so they let the two live out a friendship first. And let time be the answer to that relationship.
Zean stared around his parents' house, which was still mostly a plantation. The atmosphere in the village of Bones Bawang is still very cool compared to the city of Bandar Lampung. As a member of the police who did not have a high position, he could only try to continue to boast of his father. Zean closed his eyes while enjoying the fresh air around his parents' house even though it was getting late.
