in front of Salsa's house stopped a black sedan car and out came a man who looked middle-aged and he approached Salsa.

" excuse me, non-salsa" said the man.

" yes sir, myself." reply Salsa.

" this is me delivering clothes for Alan, I was ordered by young master Zain" said the man who turned out to be the driver of the Zain family and he handed a paperbag to Salsa.

" oh yes sir thank you." said Salsa while receiving the paperbag.

" yes non, then I come back now non." said the father.

" oh yes sir please." reply Salsa.

" assalamualaikum" said the father.

" waalaikumsalam." replied Salsa. then the car went from Salsa's house. shortly after the sedan car disappeared from view, came a blue dongker SUV and stopped in front of Salsa and Umi after the SUV was parked properly, a young man came out of the car and walked towards them.

" assalamualaikum" said the man.

" waalaikumsalam." reply Salsa and Umi.

The deg!

" Karina" said the man when he saw Salsa in front of him but who would have thought the man hugged Salsa tightly.

" karina, brother misses you, deck" said the man still hugging Salsa.

" mas please let go of his embrace" said Salsa asking the man to take off his embrace.

" Raihan, please let go of Salsa. she is not your sister Karina." Umi told the man who was none other than Raihan. hearing the words of the umi, Raihan immediately released his embrace.

" but umi, her face looks a lot like Karina" Raihan said.

" i'm sorry my name is Salsabila not Karina" Salsa said in surprise when Raihan called her karina.

" don't lie, dek.you must be kidding right.have you forgotten your brother and mummy?" ask Raihan.

" i'm sorry, I'm not kidding. I don't have a sister and I'm an orphan from childhood" Salsa said firmly.

" but.." Raihan's not done talking, umi interrupted Raihan's words.

" i have, Rai. pity Salsa if you force her so." Umi told Raihan and he just resigned with the words umi.

" i'm sorry for Salsa if what your son did made Salsa uncomfortable. Raihan loves his little sister so much that he acts like that because he misses our karina." umi explained.

" yeah it's okay." replied Salsa.

" Hey baby Alan" said Raihan when he realized the existence of Alan who was being carried by Salsa.

" hi uncle." reply Alan.

" how is Alan here, son? where's your papa?" raihan asked because he saw Alan at Salsa's house.

" yes, Alan is here with mom. papa is at home, uncle." Alan replied.

" mother?" asked Raihan in confusion.

" yes uncle, Alan's mother." Alan replied.

" who are you calling mother, son?" ask Raihan.

" this is Alan's mother, uncle." said Alan then hugged Salsa tightly.

" you're Alan's parent?" ask Raihan to Salsa.

" yes, yes." reply Salsa.

" that means you're Alan's milk mother.so the lucky woman to be married to that is you?" ask Raihan curiously.

" does mas.mas know with mas Zain?" ask Salsa.

" yes he is my friend." Reply Raihan.

" wait, rai. You mean Zain your best friend since High School the son of the Luqman family, right?" ask Umi.

" yes Zain is my best friend" said Raihan replied to Umi's question.

"Subhanallah, what an accidental coincidence" said Umi.

" yes mi." Raihan replied.

" kid Salsa, can I ask for your mobile number so we can communicate?" ask Umi.

" yes of course umi." reply Salsa.

" Rai, please give your phone to Salsa so she can enter her mobile number" said Umi. Raihan immediately gave his phone to Salsa and was received by Salsa and then he typed his phone number. After typing, Salsa returned Raihan's phone.

" you want Salsa, we go home now" said Umi.

" yes umi. be careful on the road, umi." reply Salsa

" yes, son, assalamualaikum" said Umi.

" waalaikumsalam." reply Salsa.

arriving on the second floor, Salsa immediately took ablution water and then performed prayers isya. after praying, Salsa washed her face, hands, feet and brushed her teeth. Finished cleaning, Salsa changed the clothes of the two toddlers with sleeping pajamas and then he laid them down. Salsa was lying down with the two toddlers, then he stroked their heads while sholawat.before the two toddlers fell asleep, Salsa also fell asleep soundly.

After parking the car in the garage, Raihan and Umi immediately get out of the car and into the house. there was a middle-aged man watching the news broadcast on television.

" Assalamualaikum." said Umi and Raihan together and they sat on the sofa in front of the tv. Umi sat next to the man while Raihan sat on a rather small sofa. (the sofa is in the form of the letter 'U'.)

" Waalaikumsalam, how is the condition of umi? is it okay?" ask the man.

" thank God, umi is fine bi. for there is a son Salsa." reply Umi to the man who turned out to be her husband.

" who's Salsa?" ask Abi.

" that's the woman who helped umi, bi." Umi replies and then Umi recounts the incident that happened to him until he was helped by Salsa.

" oh yes, bi. tau no." not done yet umi spoke Abi interrupted umi's speech.

" hehehe, yes mi sorry. yasudah continue the speech umi." said Abi.

" the woman who helped the Umi's face was very similar to Karina, bi." said Umi. it suddenly made abi immediately turn to the wife.

" what's real, mi? don't lie to me." said Abi.

" really bi." reply umi.

" umi's not lying, is she?" ask abi again.

" isshh, try to ask Rai if you don't believe" said Umi again pouted.

" is that right, Rai?" ask Abi to Raihan.

" yes, bi. earlier when he saw Salsa's face, Rai immediately hugged her because her face was very similar to Karina.but the name was not Karina but Salsa." Raihan replied.

" tuh dengerin said Rai, umi did not lie" said Umi still pouting.

" yeah abi believed." Abi replied persuading his wife.

" there are things that make Umi sure if Salsa is our Karina, bi" said Umi.

" what is umi?" ask Raihan who is curious.

" Salsa told me that she was an orphan.she lived in an orphanage.she told me that time she was found by a head of the orphanage where she lived. he was found unconscious with a bloody head on the street close to the orphanage, the mother immediately took him to the hospital and said the head doctor was hit hard so he had amnesia. he said when he was found he was five years old and it happened twenty years ago according to the time Karina was kidnapped, bi." explained Umi.

" are there any more noodles that could be a clue if she's our daughter?" ask Abi.

" there's bi." reply Umi.

" what mi?" ask abi.

" birthmark, bi." said Umi.

" birthmark?" ask Abi again.

" yes bi. does abi remember if karina had a heart-shaped birthmark on her back?" ask umi back.

" yes, abi, remember. Then what's the connection?" ask Abi who is not yet connected.

" isshh, abi time is not known. Umi means, Salsa has the exact same birthmark with the birthmark of Karina, bi." said Umi.

" how can I be sure if she has that birthmark?" ask Abi again.

" Umi had seen the birthmark on Salsa's back when talking to her, bi" said umi.

" so now what should we do to prove that Salsa is our Karina, umi, abi?" ask Raihan.

" there will be a Salsa number on your phone, Rai" said Umi.

" yes, what for?" ask Raihan.

" yes to contact Salsa asking the name of the orphanage she lived in all this time and the address of her replacement" said Umi.

" oh yeah, umi's right" Raihan said.

" why are we going to go back,mi? we can do a DNA test to prove it" Abi said.

" it is not that easy abi. how do we get hair or Salsa blood to do the test?" ask Raihan.

" oh yeah." said Abi.

" yasudah, umi, abi. it's night time to sleep. tomorrow we can continue this conversation again." said Raihan.
