Arfi went back into his room, he found his wife sitting on the bed rubbing her eyes.

"Beautiful morning"

"Ciuuum" whined Alvi while stretching out her hands to be hugged.

The spoiled girl that Arfi liked. Arfi hugged his wife and gave a good morning kiss on her forehead, both cheeks, nose and ended up on her lips.

"Mas, what's so much outside?"

He's back huh, it seems like he forgot what happened, Inner Arfi.

"Holy work. You rest here, I'll get you right"

"I also want to join the service, come on Mas"

Arfi prevented him, he did not want if his wife tired again and fell ill. But Alvi tried to convince her husband if he was okay and there was nothing to worry about. Because not wanting to see Alvi sad, Arfi obeyed his request. But with a note, Alvi can only see from the patrol post.

After Arfi agreed, he carried his wife out of the house. He sat in the patrol station so he could see everyone who was working. Not to forget he wrapped a glove on Alvi's body so as not to get cold.

After making sure Alvi is safe, Arfi continues his work of sweeping the streets. Arka and her friends look cool cleaning dry leaves while joking. Alvi never saw this other than at school. Because the house complex is always clean and rarely anyone passes by.

"Ayaaah, I want a banana" cried Alvi immediately shot towards Hashim who had just come from his banana garden. He brought three banana bunches assisted by other residents.

Arfi dropped his broom and chased after Alvi. Though he had told me not to go anywhere, but the girl even ran fast as if she was following a running race.

"Have healed Vi? Try Dad's check" asked Hasyim while checking his daughter-in-law's body temperature. He nodded and lightly ruffled Alvi's hair.

"Dad I want a banana one comb"

"Eh? Make what?"

"Alvi likes bananas Well, fast your run. I'm tired of chasing him"

Alvi let out a grim laugh, he had already stretched out his hand pointing at the large and beautiful yellow banana. Hashim could only laugh and give what his daughter-in-law wanted.

"It was for recitation, you naughty boy" said Mr. Salim as he pinched his granddaughter's cheek in an agitation. He had just arrived in his car buying some necessities.

Mr. Salim gave a box of his granddaughter's favorite banana milk. He also brought a gift that will greatly help Alvi later, Bani. The young man who will be Alvi's servant today. Bani will do whatever is required by her brother according to Lord Salim's orders.

"Don't want ah, Grandpa take her, make clean up at the boarding school. Let's go, daaahhh"

After Alvi and Arfi moved away, Mr. RT who helped bring bananas asked Mr. Salim. What relationship he had with Alvie. Hashim smiled, explaining that his son-in-law Alvi was the grandson of Mr. Salim.

At once Mr. RT was wide open, gaping in disbelief. He began to remember his rude attitude and his wife to Alvi yesterday. Mr. Salim was saying goodbye to go while taking Bani with him to go to the boarding school.

On the other hand, Alvi returned to the patrol post with a carefree heart. He started eating his banana while watching Arfi sweep the streets. All the residents seem busy working, the material of the girls there is still seen stealing glances at Arfi.

Especially Aisya and comrades, they even stared at Alvi cynically. Unfortunately Alvi is common, he does not care even though there are people who look at him with evil thoughts. Alvi will fight at any cost.

In between the activities of consecrated work, the colors for a moment rest and enjoy the fritters and ice fruit sent by the mothers. Maya also brought a special meal for her daughter-in-law. He gave abalone porridge and warm milk to Alvi.

"Mother, is this for me?"

"Yes, you have to eat a lot. Look you're so skinny, Mommy wants to always pinch your cheeks"

"I'm not saying Bund, I'm just saying he's heavy"

"That's right, nyebeliii, bummer"

Maya earns Arfi, asking her son not to disturb her daughter-in-law again. She went back to the school with other mothers.

Alvi feeds Arfi abalone porridge, he misses the Mama. Because Levia always made abalone porridge when someone was sick at home. Arfi can see if his wife misses the Mama, because the look on Alvi's face always looks the same.

"Sister, here" called Alvi to a little boy who was crossing them.

The boy looked confused and hesitant as he approached. He looked around and wanted to continue his path, but Alvi instead approached him.

Alvi took the boy and gave him some food. Including the banana milk that Mr. Salim gave.

"Why are you funny, where are you going?"

"Mother, Mother, Mother" he said repeatedly. Anyone who sees will know if the little boy has flaws. Even his saliva kept dripping on his clothes. Some residents looked indifferent and uncaring, some even looked at him in disgust. But not with Alvi who is used to meeting children with special needs.

Alvi asks the boy to wait for her, he runs into the house and takes a handkerchief. He tied a handkerchief around the little boy's neck. It looks so beautiful and fashionable.

"Nih girl emang yes, tuh expensive handkerchief is still in love to people. Loe emang son of the sultan" exclaimed Rama while giving his two thumbs.

"Alvi, I'll get you another handkerchief"

"Why Mas? Let it go, handkerchief it's the same. The stupid man is excessive" Alvi said as he looked at Rama with glaring eyes.

"Thank you, big brother, I go first yes" said the boy then went away leaving the patrol post.

After the boy had gone far enough, Arka and her friends shrouded Alvi. Arka pulled Alvi's hand and washed it with various things, water, soap, sand and whatever was there. It certainly makes Alvi astonished, he does not understand everything.

"Sir Alvi don't come near him. People say he's a son of a shit carrier"

Alvi looked at Arka, sad that such a small child could speak such a painful thing.

"Arka, there's no son of a pesky carrier. It's just people's wreath, all kids are good luck to his family"

"Loe said that because she did not know the story" interrupted one of Aisya's friends.

"Sultan kayak loe's son knows what? Must be living foya foya and likes to make sure guys as they want. Everyone's boyfriends are taken, di.." one of the women's words stopped when Aisya tried to mediate.

Aisya tried to defend Alvi and scolded her friend so as not to think recklessly. He also agreed with what Alvi said about a child.

"Well, my kayak sultan's son is too high for your same slang"

"Alvi is enough, you have no right to demean others. Although we do not have much money like you, but we still have manners" Aisya shouted.

"Hahah, condescending? You guys underestimated me first. What's the difference between you and me? We are the same, only your thought patterns distinguish between me and you"

Aisya and her friends looked at each other. They do not know what to answer because Alvi's words are true.

"Darling you don't fight. Later you are sick again, here I sit incandescent" between Arfi ended a silly debate that made the atmosphere awkward.
