Happy Reading's...
Litha immediately invited Amad to mess bang Joe. It just so happened that Joe had arrived at his mess.
"Joe, I brought Amad here. Ali will be here too".
"Yes mbak. So what's the need to come here?"
"You ask me that, the effect is like coming here if you need to. If you don't need it, don't nyamperin are you?"
"Bak don't understand. Tumben really that, usually if here is also one of the mbak and mas Ali. These are two two here. There must be some important info"
"It's actually also the purpose of coming here. Ali told me to come here first. He'll catch up. Well, maybe you want to talk relaxed but seriously too".
"Don't twist around. So what's the purpose of mbak? What's important info?"
"Wait for Ali to come here first. Maybe now you're here again".
Before long, the one waiting appeared.
"Just finished the bath, so come not together" said Ali arrived.
"So what's the info? Sister Litha in tanya convoluted. He said wait for me first".
"So gini Joe, we've bought land and want to build a house. Later Litha and Lidya's parents will also come here. It just so happens that Lidya has her school off".
"God finally woke up. I will get a free house ride, right? In mess, the room is stuffy. Less widely..hahahaiiii" joked bang Joe.
"By Joe, as long as it's worth living" Litha replied.
"Connect today this weekend and we have gathered, how about we eat. "Multi-Sense Meatballs" near the intersection there is delicious. Many variants of meat. There are level, baby pedes, mercons, regular meatballs, bowl meatballs, jumbo meatballs, and others. Amad must have done it too. But the same thing is the same, huh? Consider it a joke for the celebration to have its own land..hahahaha".
"Yes already, go yuk" Ali asked.
Now they head to the store "Multi-Range Meatballs" to enjoy Joe's favorite food.

The Lidya residence
Lidya and her grandparents had not had time to talk about the interests of her mother's phone earlier. He was too busy playing with the Goddess so he forgot to ask about it.
Tonight he decided what his mother really called. Because his grandfather riwi riwi from house to house, like he was meeting a neighbor.
Now they gather in the living room, watching TV. But Mbah Irah, Lidya's great-grandmother was just sitting outside the house.
"Great-grandmother, come in yuk. Night not outside, it's cold. Enter yuk. We chat together while watching TV" Lidya invited to her great-grandmother.
"Yes Nduk".
Then Irah also entered the family room to join with Mbah Inem and Mbah Miskun.
"Miss, Lidya wants to ask. So what was the phone mom? Why take Lidya to town? Why wasn't Lidya told what made Lidya go there?"
"Your mother wants to build a house. We're all there, except great-grandmother. Later great grandmother nginep in the house of Dewi during our stay in the city".
"The goddess wasn't invited by Nek?"
"No Son. Your mother sent Grandma there to cook the handyman who built your mother's house in town. While the grandfather will also help his lecturer. You want to meet your mother, while the Goddess from the past is also not comfortable if long in the city right? so the Goddess did not come.".
"Why did you knock on the door to the neighbor's house? Want to share with the neighbors? ask Lidya on Mbah Miskun.
"Grandfather is offering our neighbors to be coolies son. And there's been everything that Grandpa offered you a job from your mother".
"So when do we go to town? ask Lidya enthusiastically.
"Inshaa Allah tomorrow morning at 08:00. Grandpa talked to our neighbor who's gonna help with the bullying".
"Horry"
"Now it's night Lid. You sleep or pack the clothes you'll be carrying tomorrow. Remember to bring nice clothes"
"Alright Grandma"
Lidya complies with her grandmother's wishes, immediately packing clothes to go tomorrow. Holidays to the city after the semester. Ahh this is so much fun.
***
Mbah Inem talks to Mbah Irah before going to bed.
"Yes".
"Tomorrow morning after breakfast, I drive to Siti's house. All right, all right, please"
"Yes, you've now dressed yourself and your husband. Make sure Lidya's clothes are carried Lidya should be used in the city so that Litha's mother is not ashamed. Time already have a house, his son's clothes will be tattered camping"
"Yes mom. I'm leaving for the room".
In the room, Mbah Inem prepared clothes for her and her husband. After ascertaining all is okay and the ID card is not left behind, immediately Mbah Inem looked at Lidya in his room.
"It turns out the boy was asleep. I checked your bag first Lid" Mbah Inem said in his heart.
After checking and making sure no one was left behind, Mbah Inem kissed Lidya's forehead.
"Good night, my grandson, tomorrow will be a great day for you to meet your parents and your sister"
Mbah Inem smiled, leaving Lidya's room. Then he went to his room and talked to his wife.
"Lidya is asleep. The clothes and items that will be brought are okay. Now we also have to sleep, tomorrow we have to wake up early to prepare breakfast and go to the city".
"Yes, let's go to sleep" asked Missun.
"Yuk"
Everyone is asleep in their sleep.
***
The sun has revealed its light, meaning that the day has changed in the morning.
Mbah Inem has prepared breakfast and built Lidya.
"Pinter is my grandson, he's awake"
"Yes dong Nek. Today to the city. So Lidya can't be late".
"Lidya is ready for breakfast. This is Lidya's bag, and I'm taking it to the front"
"Yuk"
They are now in the dining room. Everyone eats in silence. Only occasionally heard the sound of spoons and plates clashing.
After the breakfast was over, they delivered Mbah Irah to Bu Siti's house. Then say goodbye to going to the city for a few weeks.
***
They were waiting for the bus in front of Ms. Siti's house. Because Mbah Miskun has made an agreement with his kuli to wait for the bus in front of Bu Siti's house.
The location of Bu Siti's house faces the highway, so it is easy to stop the bus.
The bus they were riding drove quietly, but occasionally if the road was quiet, the bus drove fast.
The journey took a long time. They are now at the terminal of Litha's destination. And need to change vehicles, that's the microlet.
It only took a few minutes, already arrived at the Litha boarding alley. Lidya is very tired still have to walk in the boarding alley. However, he tried to encourage himself.
"A little more until mother's boarding. I can't bother my grandparents" Lidya, my spirit, baby. The author always cheers on Lidya.

"Uhhhh... finally up to the mother's boarding as well". Lidya breathed a sigh of relief.
