“Later after from campus, accompany Ua to buy gifts for Rafa Ua's granddaughter. Tomorrow is Rafa's birthday, celebrated in the afternoon,” said Mother

Elly.

Rafa is Rilandi's son. Rilandi and his wife Mesya died in an accident. Luckily, Rafa was not taken. Rilandi and his wife attended an invitation from a colleague outside the city. They intend not to stay and return to Jakarta. Fortunately, poor unachievable could not be denied Rilandi's car was stopped on the highway because of road repair suddenly hit by a truck toronton brake blong. Because the position of Rilandi's car is in the rear row, it was crushed sandwiched between the toronton truck and the car that was stopping in front. Rilandi and his wife instantly died on the spot. At that time, Rafa, who was one year old, was an orphan. Annisa recalls the incident when Annisa was still in the eleventh grade. Mr. and Mamah suddenly went to Jakarta by travel after getting a call from Jakarta if Rilandi died. For three days Annisa was left at home along with her two younger siblings. Mamah and her Father accompanied Elly's mother and the grieving Mr. Supardi. When she remembered the incident, Annisa became sad.

“Now Rafa lives with whom?” ask Annisa.

“Stay with her mother Meisya,” replied Ua Elly.

“Why not stay with Ua?” ask Annisa.

Ua Elly turned towards Annisa.

“Say by Ua, Ua still has Elsa and Roland. While besan Ua his only child is Toriq. So with Rafa can be a remedy for his longing for Meisya,” replied Ms. Elly.

“But Rafa often stays at Ua's house. She must be happy if there was Annisa, because if Roland was happy to bother her to the point of

crying,” says Ua Elly.

Without feeling they have arrived at a luxury mall in South Jakarta.

“You want to get off in the lobby or in the parking lot?” ask Roland.

“In the parking lot only, count while exercising,” replied Ms. Elly.

“How to get off in the parking lot? Later if his feet cape do not blame Roland, yes,” Roland said.

“Neither will his foot hurt. There will be Annisa who accompanies Mamah on the road,” said Ms. Elly.

Roland turned the mpbil towards the parking lot and looked for a comfortable parking space. After getting a car park. They also walked together into the Mall.

While inside the Mall Elly Mother instead of looking for a place for the needs of toddlers, but Elly Mother instead took Annisa to the counter-counter for the needs of teenagers around the age of Annisa. Elly's mother seemed enthusiastic about choosing clothes, shoes and bags for Annisa.

“To wear to Rafa's birthday,” said Ms. Elly when Annisa refused to buy clothes, shoes and bags.

But the clothes that Mother Elly bought for Annisa are quite a lot.

Even bought some basic makeup for Annisa.

“Let's not look pale,” said Ms. Elly when Annisa refused to buy make up.

Elly's mother told SPG to find a make-up suitable for Annisa.

Annisa just sighed looking at the things that Mother Elly bought for Annisa.
