Two weeks before Lebaran, the parents and family of Mimi and Syahril went to LA.
Mimi is very happy to hear that her extended family is going to LA, not only Mimi's parents, Brata's father also invites the entire Mimi family.
While Di'ah no one can go, if his mother goes then there is no one to take care of her.
Ryan's family had come to Di'ah's parents' house to take his parents away but Di'ah's mother refused because Babah Di'ah could not sit down and Di'ah's mother also did not have the heart to leave the husband even though the child first one is at home.
All three apartments are full of extended families.
When sahur or if they open, they alternate between three apartments.
Carol feels warm to see Mimi, Syahril and Ryan's extended family so acutely unlike her family.
Mimi knew that Carol was sad because of her sad eyes and repeatedly took her breath away.
"Why you?" ask Carol Mimi.
"Emm it's okay, I'm just glad to see your families get along with each other" he said.
"We are also your family Carol" said the mother behind Mimi.
"Please say I'm your mother." said the mother again.
"Can I call you mommy" he said tearfully.
"Yes okay, but you pangiil mother only.'' said the mother who does not want to be called mommy.
"Mother? is that mommy?" ask Carol for wonder.
"Mother the same call with mom or mommy" said Mimi and mother nodded.
"Oo, mother, can I hold you." he said, mother nodded and spread out her hands.
Carol felt moved and she immediately rushed to hug her mother, Carol felt warm in her arms.
Brata and Jonathan's father saw it coming along, Jonathan knew if his sister missed her mother. Carol's youngest sister is very close and always spoiled for her mother first.
Carol saw the Mimi family all wearing hijab, although sometimes wearing hijab very happy and feeling cool.
"Mother, can I wear what you wear?" ask Carol.
"You want to go in a hijab?'' ask Chalik's wife, Carol nodded.
"God willing." said Adam's wife and Chalik.
"You can, but you must be sincere from your heart.'' said my mother who slightly understands English because it was taught Mimi and Ay.
"Yes mom" Carol told Mimi's mother.
"No mom, call me mom." said mom.
"Murray?" Carol repeated it.
"Yes call mom" said mom. Carol does not understand and looks towards Mimi and Mimi explains back to Carol.
"Mamak is the same as mother or mommy" said Mimi.
"Oo, what a ku bo beh hugging" said Carol was stamped using Indonesian language that she learned from googlo.
"By, '' answered my mother and spread out her hands as well. Carol got permission to hug her tightly, rubbing Carol's shoulder.
Carol sobbed when the mother rubbed her back she felt hugging her mother plus the body of a fat mother like her mother.
"Hey why are you crying?" said mother.
"I'm as per ti meme luk my mother." she replied with a stammer.
"Let's say I'm your mother." replied her mother by wiping Carol's back. Carol grew sobbing and tightened her embrace.
As it gets late, Jonathan takes Carol home but her mother forbids him.
Jonathan, who speaks Indonesian, knows exactly what this family is talking about.
"Let Carol sleep here Jo." said mom.
"Yes Jo, las sahur later, you're here" said the mother.
"Oh well. Then I go home first assalamualaikum.' said Jo.
"Waalaikum salam." everyone answered.
Because late everyone went into their rooms.
Mom and Dad sleep in the guest room, and Carol sleep in Mimi's room. Mimi borrowed her pajamas from Carol.
Carol, who had not yet converted to Islam, learned to fast and wear the hijab. Zacky who the next morning saw Carol wearing Muslim clothes was very amazed and samakin fascinated.
Mimi gave Carol a set of Muslim tunics and hijab that day she wore Muslim clothes.
A week before Lebaran Mimi, Di'ah and his extended family will return to their homeland. Carol who knew that was sad. Because with Mimi's extended family, she feels like she has a family.
Actually Carol has a large family also both from her mother and father, but they seem to not know what Carol family anymore since her father died all the family away from her.
So his late mother worked as much as possible for the cost of living and education for her children.
Even Carol did not know who the family of her late father, if from her late mother she only knew a few people, if only a few people, even then he only knew and saw it from afar when the mother invited him to join the workplace and cross paths with them.
"Jo, can I come with them?" carol asks Jonathan when they're at Jonathan's apartment.
"No Carol, you'll trouble them." Jonathan said.
"But Jo, I'm gonna feel lonely Jo" Carol said. Jonathan took his breath in.
"There's me." Jonathan replied.
"When there's you, keep quiet Jo. What else if you work." said Carol.
"Why is our family not like their family huh Jo."
"Try if there's still a mother's hyx." said Carol felt sad and missed the mother.
"I miss Jo's mom, I'm sorry to make it hard huhuhu" Carol said in an awkward manner.
"Here you go, just pray that you calm down there" Jonathan said.
"When did you marry her?" ask Carol.
"Emm maybe after this leaflet I will ask Mr. Brata" said Jonathan.
"Why not now Jo, so we can be together and I'm not lonely anymore. Jonathan was silent and thought about his sister's request.
What Carol said is true, now or later it's the same.
''Hmm tomorrow I'll talk to him and Mr. Brata" Jonathan said by wiping his sister's head.
"I work, you be careful at home if you want to go to Mr. Brata's apartment" Carol said.
"Hmm yes I just want to go there.' replied Carol spirit.l and she was getting ready and left with Jonathan.
Since the incident Carol no longer works in the hospital, she felt ashamed of her actions at that time.
When she arrives at Mimi's apartment, Carol is so happy that she can get together with her new family.
Mimi, Di'ah, Syahril and Ryan went to work together. Carol took Ay for a walk not to forget Baiq and her sisters also participated.
They leave with bodyguards, as Brata's father remains wary of her family.
Brata's father went with Chalik to his company, Adam followed Syahril to the hospital.
When Syahril was talking to Adam in the hospital lobby there were women wearing masks, Syahril who always suspected the same people just pay attention to the gestures of the woman.
"Why are you Real?" ask Adam.
"Emm it's mas, why does the woman always pay attention to me huh." replied Syahril, mas Adam also looked at the woman who was meant by Syahril.
"Emm he's a real patient, you're too chriha just innate" said mas Adam.
"But why is he wearing a mas mask and wearing a jacket like that" Syahril said.
"Maybe he has a real fever, let's go to your room. Where was Mimi?" ask Syahril.
"He was visiting mas." replied Syahril as he stepped, before stepping he looked again at the woman.
"Are you not practicing?" ask Adam.
"Practice mas, pause again." replied Syahril.
A few hours passed when Syahril began to practice, the woman suspected of Syahril sat waiting for his queue.
When her turn came, the woman entered with her husband into the room of Shahril. Syahril was very surprised to see the woman he suspected entered his room.
"Please sit down" Syahril said in a friendly and English-speaking manner.
"Thank you" replied the couple in Indonesian
"You speak Indonesian?" ask Syahril.
"Yes doc." replied the husband, the wife continued to pay attention to Shahril.
"Well, can I help you?" ask Syahril.
"This doc, my wife is pregnant and what is the approximate deck?" ask the husband.
"Four months' worth." replied the wife.
"Why just about? have you never checked it." asked Syahril, both the husband and the wife shook their heads.
"We live not settled in this country doc, I also work odd jobs" said the husband.
"We heard from our coworkers, if in this country there is a hospital that can help people who are not able, so I dare to come to this hospital" said the wife.
"Where do you live?" ask Syahril.
"We stayed off the dock" replied the husband.
The wife in the nurse's ink to weigh and check her tension after finishing Syahril will check.
"Emm, let me check." Syahril.
The woman was lying on the cage and her stomach was rubbed with gel by the sisters. Syahril began to do his job, seen on the screen monitor two fetuses.
"This is your son-in-law, they have two." Say Shahril by pointing to the monitor screen on them.
"It's the sound of their heartbeats healthy and from the size of their age they have 18 weeks" said
They both shed tears.
After doing the USG they again sat in front of Syahril's table.
"Oh yeah y'all married almost 10th?" ask Syahril when looking at the medical records.
"Yes doc, this is our first child" replied the husband happy.
"I'll give you a prescription at the pharmacy and before going to the pharmacy you go to the administration room and give this to them so you can make a card for your medicines for free here." syahril said by giving a mandate for the management of free treatment.
"Thank you doc, thank you." said the wife.
"Sama-sama, please do not think too much so that the fetus does not participate in stress" said Syahril.
"God willing doc." they answered, after which they immediately went and headed to the administrative room according to Shahril's direction.
They feel happy to meet good people in this country, what else the person turns out to be from the same country.
As they queue, they cross paths with Mimi, Mimi smiling kindly.

Jonathan and Carol always open with the extended family Brata and Mimi, after breaking their fast and Maghrib prayers and they also pray together in the apartment of Brata's father, Syahril and Ryan's family also participated.
After a while, Jonathan talked to Brata's father.
"Are you sure and ready for Jo?" brata's father said as Jonathan spoke his heart.
"Yes, sir, I'm very sure." replied Jonathan.
"You know Surti is an orphan, we're his family. We want Surti to be happy, Brata's father replied.
"God willing, sir, I will make her happy" replied Jonathan.
"Ti, are you ready, son?'' ask Brata pepper Surti's father.
Surti, who was ten years old, met Brata's father when Brata's father served in an area in Sumatra.
At that time little Surti was working as a maid at the home of Brata's father's colleagues.
Brata's father who saw his young son working so did not have the heart so Brata's father asked Surti to come with him.
Surti who is still small and innocent just according, Surti lun in base to Semarang
Brata's father sent her to school, before and after school Surti always helped mother until now.
"I just follow according to my father and mother" said Surti.
Mother is very moved, her daughter is now invited by people.
"But you have to obey what your husband says yes son, mother hopes you are always happy forever.' said mother by hugging Surti.
Surti is her nickname only, her real name is Surya Hidayati.
"Thank you ma'am, sir. It has taken care of me and given me an education" Surti said.
Surti is an economics scholar, previously he had worked as an admin at the mas Adam hospital, rope after Mimi to LA he was asked by Brata's father to accompany Mimi.
Miki also already knew who Mbak Surti so Miki never considered him someone else.
Because of the agreement Jonathan will marry Mbak Surti in Semarang after this leaflet.
Carol who heard that the deal after Lebaran became lethargic.
"Why you?'' ask Mimi.
"You're going back to Indonesia?" ask her.
"Yes." answered Mimi.
"Hmm I'm so lonely here" he said sadly.
"Wouldn't you come?" ask Ay.
''What can?" ask Carol.
"Mom, can Brother Carol come home from town." cried Ay.
"If she wants to" replied Mamak.
"May brother." Ay replied to Carol.
"Correct?" asked Carol excitedly and ay and Mimi nodded.
"Yeyyy." said Carol happily.
Jonathan is happy to see his brother happy, Jonathan allows him.
Three days before departure they were all shopping and sightseeing, uncle, niece, pakdo and the others were feeling very happy.
Brata's father not only has one apartment, next to Abizar's apartment and next to Ryan's apartment is also his apartment, which is intended for Adam and Charik mas. But the apartment was rarely used in Adam and Chalik mas because they rarely went to America.
If they go to America, they always sleep in Abizar's apartment because their children always want to be with their eyes.
So at this time when the big families were gathered they were not confused.
After shopping for clothes for Lebaran and souvenirs they took a walk to the tourist attractions that are here.
They were all preparing to return to their homeland, Jonathan would stay he would go to Indonesia two weeks after Lebaran.
