Karina turned her gaze to the mobile phone on the table. Karina exhaled a rough breath when she saw the name of the caller.
"Assalamualaikum my hubby."
"Waalaikumsalam my wife."
"What's wrong?"
"Blame calling your own wife?"
"Not really. It's just that I'm sure there's something important you want to ask."
"really? If so try to tell me what I want to ask," challenge Arion.
"This must be about the acquisition of Buana Corp, right?"answer Karina.
"Fright! I'll buy you a present."
"Gift? Okay." Okay."
"So what do you want to ask? Isn't it common for large companies to make acquisitions and even overthrow a company?"ask Karina.
"I knew. I just want to know the hidden reason for acquiring Buana Corp. Isn't that Bima's biological father's company?"
"Yes that's right. I didn't think you were getting sensitive."
"It's also because you disappeared. So what's the reason?"
"Aren't you smart? You asked just to make sure, didn't you?"
Doesn't sound legitimate.
"That?"
"Hahahaha ..it's great to have a great wife. Honey, I gave you a double!"
"Double? How much do you want to spend? Our son is six, don't be wasteful! The boy's future is long. Don't forget we have two more kids! Watch out if you buy something! I'll chop if you do!"spray Karina.
Arion who stood looking at the view from the window of the room, aghast shocked even distanced his phone to hear Karina's nagging.
"S-Darling I know. Don't get mad, I guarantee the prize won't be that expensive."
Buying an expensive gift will not affect the future of children.
"Good! Watch out if you're lying!"
"I'll sleep in front of the room if I lie" said Arion.
"Hm."
"So what's troubling your heart, Ar?"
"Wouldn't we agree not to make Bima heir? Why did you acquire the company today in the name of Bima?"
"At first I thought it was the right thing. But once I think and consider again it's not fair to the kids. Bima can be free to be what he wants without any burden while others are burdened with responsibility and the possibility of difficult to achieve their personal dreams. It could cause a rift between them. Besides, Buana Corp is my acquisition, not my wake. Wouldn't it be wonderful if one day the legitimate child meets the serial child where the legitimate child is just the fake owner while the original owner's serial child?"
Karina laughed, imagining the moment coming.
"Why do you speak Mandarin? Are the kids near you?"wonder Arion.
"Yes. They're looking at me confused." Using mandarin, looking at the children sitting on the sofa, looking at her with diverse gazes.
"Thank God. Baby I understand. I don't mind either, but don't be too extravagant to waste money, remember our children."
"What did you say?! Watch out!"peekik Karina was upset.
"Don't turn the phone off! Hey old man you're the head of the family! You're in charge of me and the kids! Your money my money, my money my money! I'm wasting money on our son's future!"
Karina put down rough mobile phone. His face was still grumbling in annoyance.
"Basic!"grouse Karina.
"Even if I don't understand Mama and Papa's conversation, I guess Papa's got a big problem. I wonder what gifts Papa will give as well as what gifts Mama will give. Look at that smile of my mother. As if you want to swallow Papa round and round," said Bintang, goosebumps to see the smile smirk Karina.
"Silly! Mother is not a pyton snake, how can swallow a full-grown human?"rebut Bara.
Blue and Bima smile. This is just a parable, why take it seriously?
"Little sister, it's just a problem, why is it so serious? And as far as I know where you used to be hot earth, why know python?"reply Stars.
"Isn't there a lot of python in the house? At the zoo too. Nor am I foolish, the serpent nation eats without cutting its prey" Bara replied.
"Well, if it's cut, it means a demon dong?" Blue twirled lazy eyeballs hearing this brother and sister debate.
"The smile is a myth. There are only visible and supernatural creatures" Bara said.
"duh-duh. Little brother, brother teach a second lesson, never question the truth of myths or legends, especially in front of the laity. Myths and legends have been around for a long time. We can't believe it, but don't ever mention it" Bintang said.
"Ck! Myths and legends are everywhere. Can't prove the truth, why believe it?"
"If it's a myth, I still agree. If it's a legend, not necessarily. There's real evidence."
"Can't it be explained scientifically?"
"It's true, but there's still a lot of mystery. The world is vast, there are still many places that are not affordable by humans even using sophisticated tools."
"That's what I know!"bara Sahut. The star smiled slightly and refocused on her homework.
"Become brother, you're very good at talking" Brian praised.
"Talking is important, especially for me who is the first heir as well as the oldest brother of you. Debate is very important. But don't be like a loud empty barrel" replied the Star.
"I mean noisier but weightless?"bahtiar Terka.
"Yep. Speak as necessary, and if meeting such a person, do not be approached. Even if you can not avoid, just say the most piercing and make it mute," said Bintang, complete with a thin smile.
"May I keep him mute forever?" He looked at the stars with serious eyes.
"It depends on the situation" replied the Star, scratching her temple, nervous about the aura that Bara gave off.
"All right." Blue turned his face away, refocusing on the image on the table.
"But Brother ... if anyone humbles us how?" Bahtiar asked with curious eyes.
The stars are smiling thinly.
"You were once little princes, who would dare to look down on you? Ah okay. Papa always says if something humbles us to do three things first, remind, remind and remind! If these three things aren't discussed, you can act in your frustration, even if you make her feel like death doesn't matter! No one can humble our family because we are the real oppressors!"
"What to remind??" Bara joined again.
"Never underestimate anyone! You know .. The nature of most people is to look down on others. Many people are smart but not necessarily smart. Many people are educated but not necessarily moral."
"Sister .. I understand what you mean, but if he's successfully reminded, what to do?"ask Brian.
"Of course keep teaching him a lesson! Those three things are just a gauge of their lessons" explained Bintang.
"From Big Brother's words, has Big Brother ever killed anyone?"
"Kill out? Heh of course never!"the stars answered, smiling widely.
"Yes" replied Blue.
"We are triad, any activity is done together," said Bima.
The three youngest children gulped roughly.ah only two, Bara just stared in disbelief.
"I can't believe it before I see it for myself!"bara said.
"It's important that you don't pee in your pants if you see them directly" said Blue, cold with a sharp look.
"Who's afraid!"reply Bara, staring back at Blue.
"Hhhhp!" Blue re-focus on the pr book on the table.
"Oh, no need for a sister" muttered the Star.

Towards the magrib, Karina and the children arrive home. As usual, a glass of chocolate was only served when Karina entered the house.
Bintang as the oldest, invites his sisters to clean the body first. Karina was sitting in the middle room.
"Auntie's cooking dinner?"asked Karina, looking for a comfortable position on the sofa.
"Yet, Non. Madam Maria said, she will cook dinner" replied Bik Mirna.
"Then where are they?"ask Karina who did not find Amri and Maria, even though it was just a voice.
"In their room, Non."
"Then Alia?"
"If it's not wrong to be in the rear gazebo, Non."
Karina nodded in understanding.
"Help me cook dinner" said Karina after waiting a few minutes, but Maria did not show up.
"It's better that Miss rest, let Auntie prepare dinner" said Bik Mirna, who was worried about Karina's health. Karina stared at Bik Mirna at a glance, snorting bitterly.
"All right." Karina stood up, stepped towards the stairs and climbed to the second floor. Bik Mirna smiled, picked up the empty cup Karina used to drink then headed for the kitchen.
About ten minutes later, Maria came down with a tired but blushing face.
"Loh Bik, I told you that I cooked dinner" protested Maria to find Bik Mirna who was busy cooking.
"Eh that's Madam .. You've been in the room too long. I was worried that the night of the tomb would be abandoned" Bik Mirna replied.
"If abandoned, we can eat outside" said Bik Mirna.
"Food outside is not as wise as kitchen food itself. Mama's in the room, what the hell? Sport?"
Maria flinched and looked back, smiling awkwardly as Karina's guess was correct.
"Eh Karina, are you home?" Karina nodded as she went down the stairs, followed by her six children who had taken a bath and were now fresh and fragrant.
"In the meantime, magrib, it is better to prepare for prayer first" said Karina.
"Good, Non."
"Yes already, Mama will help Aunt only," said Maria.

The time shows at 21:00, the children are already asleep. Karina turns off the room lights, then exits the children's room towards her room and Arion.
Arriving in the room, Karina frowned in surprise to find the room lights off.
"Feelings were alive" Karina muttered in surprise, fumbling for a switch.
"Surprise!" Karina is stunned to find Arion holding a tray containing a brown round cake.
"What's this?"wonder Karina.
"Surprise."
"This feeling is not my birthday" said Karina.
"Indeed, this is not our 7th anniversary" Arion said.
"7th Anniversary? What yeah?"
Karina even opened an important note in the book.
"God! Aye! I totally forgot. Ar forgive me." Karina put on a sorry face. Arion chuckled, placed the cake on the table then approached Karina.
"I knew. I just remembered this afternoon. The plan is I want to take you to dinner, but considering our children who are possessive, which may be able to dinner together," explained Arion.
Karina's eyes glazed over with a smile. Both cuddle. Arion kisses gently the top of Karina's head while Karina cries in Arion's arms.
"Have not cried" said Arion.
Karina was still crying. Arion took off his embrace, gently rubbing Karina's tears.
"You're ugly when you cry." Arion pinches Karina's nose.
"Liar! Any expression, I'm still pretty!" Karina scowled tightly, her cries subsided and now stared intently at Arion.
"Oh yeah, what gift did you want to give me?"tagih Karina's.
"That." Arion pointed at the two medium-sized cakes on the table.
"Kue?"
"Make a cake from your favorite store, taste your favorite chocolate."
Karina nodded, not expecting Arion to remember. Is clear! Arion remembers everything about Karina, from the biggest to the smallest.
Arion takes Karina to sit down, cuts the cake and feeds Karina.
"Darling, don't leave me again, okay."
"Hm."
"I love you."
"I love you too, forever!"
The next scene is a kiss that ends with a release. Yes anniversary night without any interference
