"Mama" said Alice who suddenly came out of the bathroom.
Soon Shaina wipes the puddle of clear dew in her eyes while turning her face and approaching Alice, while Joon is still in his place to turn his face away from Alice and Shaina.
"Dear, have you taken a shower? We go to the room yuk, we see today Alice wants to wear what clothes yes" Shaina said by creating a smile that was made up.
"Yes Ma" said Alice.
Shaina comes out of Joon's room with Alice covered in a towel she took from Joon's bathroom shelf.
After helping Alice find suitable clothes to wear, Shaina returns to the kitchen to continue preparing breakfast for everyone, although her feelings are muddled because of Joon's statement, Shaina can breathe a little relief because she has also said what she wants to say to Joon, even though it is a bit excessive.
"Alice help Ma?" Said Alice who took a plate containing food lying on the kitchen table to take her to the dining table.
"Of course it's Alice, but be careful" Shaina said.
"Good Ma" said Alice.
"By the way Mama has Mama too?" Knock Alice while handing out the dishes at the dining table.
Shaina chuckles, "yes of course baby, Mama also has Mama and papa too, but if we call her Mak and dad" Shaina said.
"Mr and Dad?" Sela Alfan
Joon also goes into the dining room while fully revealing his long clothes, occasionally he glances at Shaina without the body's knowledge.
"Mama also has a sister, all boys are just Mama who is a girl, Mama also has many cousins, they are the same age as you, and also funny" said Shaina.
"Waaaahhh, must be very exciting, can play as much as anytime" interrupted Alice.
Shaina nodded and smiled widely seeing that they were very enthusiastic about hearing the story surrounding the original family.
"We can call Daddy Mak dong too?" Added Alfan.
Shaina scrunched up and put her lips together, she looked serious by saying, "can't".
The two children lowered their faces with sad expressions, and Joon just looked at them without saying anything.
"You can't call Mak dad like Mama calls them, but you call him grandma and grandpa" continued Shaina who smiled broadly.
Hearing that, a beautiful smile instantly burst from Alfan and Alice's lips.
"Is she really?" Sudi the twins.
Shaina nodded.
"Yeah! Yeah! We've got Grandma grandpa again....!" They exclaimed, to the extent that Alice and Alfan embraced and clapped their hands in joy while calling Grandmother's call.
"You also have many uncles, brothers, brothers and sisters" Shaina added.
"Uncle?" Alice and Alfan shared their views, "waaaahhh we have another uncle, we have a brother and a brother as well, we have many brothers, we like...! We want to meet them.we can play as much...! We are very happy....! So much fun....!" Alice and Alfan exclaimed incessantly until they ran around the dining table.
Suddenly Alfan stopped right in front of Alice to the point that he was almost crushed by her for braking suddenly.
"Means Uncle has Papa and Mama again dong" muttered Alfan.
UHKUUKK! UKHUKK!
Joon chokes with the warm water he just drank because he heard Alfan's words.
"Uncle has Papa again, meaning Uncle can not fight again with his Dad Mama and do not make Mama Mama worry again if they do not want to evict uncle again" said Alfan.
Joon turns his face to Alfan and turns to Shaina who is silent and confused by Alfan's statement just now.
"Yahh...! The little boy knows what? don't talk to adults!" Limpal Joon is clenching Alfan's mouth with his.
Alfan shifted his face from Joon's hands which squinted at him, "But right? Uncle fought with Grandpa and Papa, so Uncle was not allowed to go back to the grandfather's house" Alfan added.
"Yes, Alice also saw that time when we were in the office of grandfather, granny crying and saying uncle is no longer a grandmother's child because Uncle was caught drunk with many women joget-joget" continued Alice.
"Your issshh is...!, can't you gossip early in the morning?" Tukas Joon glanced at the twins.
"Yes Ma, the uncle at that time was very scary, especially when angry with Mama Helena and said Mama Helena was a pretentious outsider who meddled in her family affairs papa and Uncle, who was very angry with her, but papa scolded back until they almost fought, thankfully grandma was sick at that time and they stopped fighting" said Alice.
"But because grandma was sick at that time Alfan so can not play again with grandma until now" added Alfan.
Joon was silent and several times he turned his face away.
"It's the story, we eat first, later you are even late for school" shaina said she stopped their story because she felt something strange about Joon being more silent and he also seemed to avoid eye contact with anyone, not to mention that he looked teary.
After the breakfast show ended, Joon was more often silent after the conversation, and he barely spoke to Shaina, except when saying goodbye to work.
But when Joon and the twins were about to leave the house, Shaina suddenly called them.
"Alice? Where's your bag?" Shaina asks Alice who went to school without her school bag.
"That's Ma, Alice is lazy to bring a bag so that Alice's book is put in Alfan's bag alone" said Alice who lied to Shaina.
Shaina also set her sights on Alfan.
"I-iya Ma, Alfan is also nothing to bring Alice's" Alfan added to help Alice convince Shaina and Joon.
"Oh" said Shaina.
Hand in hand Joon walks towards a stop not far from their house, the cold air is able to warm Alfan and Alice with just Joon's warm hands, it reminded them of the warmth their papa used to have.
At the bus stop, not only them, but also an old husband and wife who stood at the end of the stop, they clenched each other to warm each other up, their gaze was fixed on Joon who was also looking at them.
While Joon is focused on seeing the old couple, the bus they are waiting for stops, Joon and his nephew immediately go inside so as not to get colder outside, but the old couple still stands in their place and without distracting them from Joon.
Inside the bus Joon sits next to the children, his gaze still fixed on the couple at the stop and feeling something strange with the old couple, suddenly Joon is made as if he does not believe what he saw, the old married couple disappeared along with a gust of cold wind that was blown from the south, when Joon wanted to ensure his vision, the, the bus was too far from the stop.
And none of the people on the bus realized what Joon saw, other than the silence between them. Joon returned to his seat with tears dripping but soon removed, Joon is very familiar with the figure of the couple he just saw is his parents who have left this world.
As usual Joon wore a protective apron before he struggled with his work.
"Joon, why are your hands on bandages? Is that severe?" Harris asked who was shocked to see Joon's hand.
Not only Harris was curious but the other colleagues were also curious including their boss.
"Yes, it turns out my bones are cracked" Joon said casually.
"What the hell is going on inside the warehouse until your hands are so bad?" Added Gia.
"I'm a careless one" Joon replied.
"But can you work? If not you can take a day off today" interrupted the boss.
"No problem, I can work because I'm dominant using the left hand" Joon raised his left hand to show them.

Friction soles high heels with the floor echoing from the shoes of Miss Rossie who entered her son's private room, her steps were getting faster and firmer, then in throw some small paper on the desk owned by Darrell.
"What the hell is Mom?" Asked Darrell who was astonished by her Mom's attitude.
"You're the shit? Give that woman an expensive diamond!!!" Lontar Madame Rossie.
"What's wrong Mom? I just gave her a little gift" Darrell explained.
"Little gift? a thousand-dollar diamond you said a small gift? Prostitutes*r like he doesn't deserve it!!" Miss Rossie did not let down her tone.
"Momi don't get mad, I just put Gladys in for a second, because I need her" Darrell hugged Mom.
Miss Rossie glanced at her son who was trying to calm him down.
Miss Rossie turned around and headed for the exit but a few steps back she stopped and said, "I hope it's true as you say it, and you don't get weak by that woman's name, because that woman looks weak on the outside but inside is dangerous".
Miss Rossie continued her steps out of Darrell's room.
