Mbah Abun slowly began to reimagine the family life that had been destroyed.he was able to make his wife's son happy again, by buying them both new clothes. even coupled with jewelry that is circular on the ring finger of the two women who are always dear, women who are always a booster, so that he is more active in improving the standard of his life.

That afternoon, they and their families gathered in the middle room, accompanied by snacks, which Mbah Abun bought from the market.

"Mother! tomorrow Abah does not go to the city, because Abah does not have livestock that must be sold.Maybe the farmers in the village of Ciandam, their livestock have been purchased by Abah." Mbah Abun opened a conversation that afternoon.

"Well! It's okay, Abah! abah should be happy, because Abah can rest first. Don't be suspended until you get sick! I am no longer young." Respond to his wife who is always gentle when talking to her husband.

"Quiet down! Abah, the robot! Abah will not be sick. Abah hurts when he sees you suffering, because Abah cannot be a good backbone. Now you both pray enough Abah! just in order to always be healthy and always given abundant sustenance.mumpung Abah is still strong, can provide both of you, can make you happy so you feel proud to have a man who is so responsible."

"Amen! Although Abah does not ask us both to pray for Abah, we will always pray for the best for Abah. The man who has sacrificed himself to support his family." replied Ambu Yamah as he put the pastry in his mouth.
