"Meet me after finishing my class" Alex told Dimas, actually Alex would love to advise Dimas at this time too but the time is not possible because Alex has morning class.

"Yes bang" said Dimas as he continued to stand in front of Alex.

"Don't go anywhere, just as I've finished class you have to be in the front cafe" said Alex once again.

"Yes, that's why he's a man" Dimas said that while Alex had walked away from him.

"Gue hope you want to go home bang even though it's just once" said Dimas while looking at his brother's back until it is no longer visible.

After successfully escaping from the invasion of the atlas gang and vanx Alvin gang and others when they arrived at the campus immediately entered their respective classes.

Two hours passed Dimas was waiting for Alex at the front cafe but the awaited never came.

"Where else bang Alex real old" annoyed Dimas. It has been almost two hours more he waited for the whereabouts of Alex the cafe.

"Dim" Dimas turned to the source of the voice.  

"Well Dim? I'm waiting for people" said Eza.

"Emang, I'm waiting for Alex to really come"

Eza patted Dimas' shoulder slowly. "Patience Dim emang Alex if you have been in class must be long out his name also pursues a master's degree" 

Eza and Dimas dissolve in their chatter until Alvin and the others join in the cafe in front of the campus.

"Well, where's all Alex's bang here?"

"Gue here" said Alex from the front entrance of the cafe. 

Alvin and the others let Alex and Dimas talk. Alvin hopes Alex will go home with the invitation of Dimas, before Dimas had told Alvin everything, Cecep and Fahmi about his goal to take Alex home to meet their parents and solve this protracted problem.

"Wouldn't you eat?" ask the stars to all of them.

"Tumben Tang" Fahmi said.

"Make today I treat all of you who know this abis my bike behind the same bang Cecep and he also sorry me, it's almost a week I've always been piggybacking on the same you guys, ka"

"Tang confided later yes, now he said he wanted to pesen food" said Bagas. Followed by a nod by Eza.

"Yes" Bintang quickly called the cafe employees to order food and drinks, not to forget Bintang also ordered for Alex and Dimas.

Switch to two brothers who are not far from them.

"Well let's go home even if it's just a moment" asked Dimas. 

Earlier after finishing Alex advised Dimas who according to Dimas, Alex was snapping at him, making Dimas now beg for his brother to come home even if only briefly.

"OKay I want to go home" Alex finally broke up.

After finishing the dzuhur prayer Alex and Dimas separated from the group because they will go home first.

Arriving in front of the house that he had long left Alex staring stunned the house along which is still the same, the difference now the house looks a little maintained.

"Assalamualaikum" said the two there was a feeling of annoyance that approached Alex's heart.

"Please Lex, all problems if solved with emotion will never end. It's been quite a run of this problem for over a year and a half" Alex's inner self.

"Waalaikumsalam" replied the three people who were sitting in the main room in a compact manner.

"Mr Alex!" Lia was immediately stupefied when she saw the person she missed was now in plain sight.

"Finally the elder brother came home too" the delighted voice from Lia made Alex lift a slight corner of his lips.

"Sit down first bang" asked Dimas.

Dimas and Alex's stepmother went to their kitchen to make a drink.

"Sorry" one word that came out of Vernando's mouth was able to make Alex see the father. "Pardon papa Lex, papa knows all this time papa is wrong, papa just think of papa's own happiness, without papa realize if papa still has two children who need the affection of the father" Alex can see from the look in Vernando's eyes if he's really sorry for everything he's ever done to his son.

Thanks to the hardship and confidence of Dimas and Lia. Vernando and his second wife were able to open their eyes, and now they realized what they had done was wrong. With the permission of the creator of the effort Dimas and Lia not in vain to make their papa mama aware, happiness is not only obtained from the material, but also from the material, harmonious family relationships can lead to happiness that is second to none.

Stepmother Dimas and Alex put a warm cup of tea on the table and looked at Alex with regret. "I'm sorry mom is also Lex, mama should be a good mama to replace your mother who used to treat you very well, too, but in fact, mama even makes your relationship and your own biological father vacillate. This is what Lex's mom deserves to blame" said Vernando's wife.

Alex did not flinch at all honestly he still had heartache on his stepmother, as much as possible Alex harbored the pain and forgave his stepmother.

"Mama" one word that came out of Alex's mouth made them all in disbelief.

This is the first time Alex calls his stepmom 'mama' usually he will only call aunty.

"Hiks.hiks like this is happy to be called mama by the child who has become my child now"

"Mom can hug Lex?" ask the expectant stepmom.

Without saying a word Alex hugged her. "Thank you son for forgiving my mother" Vernando's wife felt moved and happy.

"Papa can hug you, too, Lex?" now Vernando asked hopefully to his eldest son. 

"Papa" Alex hugged the father. "I'm sorry, here the wrong Alex has not been able to act mature" he said while holding clear grains that will soon fall over his cheeks.

"Not Lex you're not wrong here to blame papa, papa is not a good papa for you" vernando felt very sorry now because he felt he had failed to become a father and a husband from his first wife as well as his children. Even since the birth mother Alex and Dimas died, Vernando had only made a pilgrimage once to his wife's grave as well after he was aware of all the sins he had committed himself.

Dimas and Lia smiled happily finally their families could be together without being selfish, Vernando pulled them all into his arms.

"Papa son becomes a better father for you"

"So does the mother" the three grown children nodded in unison to respond to the words of their mother and father.
