"Mama, Rei where it doesn't look. Have you gone to Ardan's house." asked papa

"It seems not yet pa, it was said to go up first want to change clothes but until now has not come down." replied mama, his hand is still holding a knife cutting apples.

"Ma, let's see yuk, it's not usually him long."he took my mom's hand, they then went up to Rei's room.

"Geez, Rei, why are you, son?" mama holds Rei's forehead, her body temperature is high.

"Pa, call Rei's doctor for a fever" Mama looks panicked. Papa went straight to his room to pick up the phone and called his family doctor.

Twenty minutes later the doctor came and checked on Rei.

"What's my son doing, Doc?" ask papa

"Fathers are just tired, and maybe because they have not eaten so limp." replied the doctor.

"Thank God, then." said Mama

"This I write prescription drugs and vitamins, so it can be taken immediately after eating. Excuse me, mother. Let's" the doctor then leaves Rei's room, accompanied by papa who will also redeem the prescription to the nearest pharmacy.

"Hey, why? is there a problem, only now do you see you like this." Mama hugged Rei, her daughter who was always tough but this time it was like something was hidden.

"Rei gapapa kok ma, just a tadpole said the doctor earlier right." Rei refuted.

"Darling, you are my daughter, until whenever will be my little daughter. Even if you're married and you have children, you'll still be your mother's daughter."

Rei tightened his embrace, frankly Rei kangen hugged like this but indeed their time for quality time was very less because of Rei's busyness.

Although there is something Rei is hiding but mama knows, she just does not want to force let Rei himself later who will tell the story. Feed Rei with the porridge that has just ripened. This child from childhood never wanted to trouble others, always independent.

"We'll wait a minute, maybe he's late. Let's go over there, the show's about to start." take mama then.

They went to meet the invited guests, and the recitation began. Half an hour passed but Rei had not yet revealed the trunk of his nose. Ardan looked agitated, several times calling Renita's number but there was no answer.

"Gapapa, it had been checked by a doctor he said only exhausted. Know for yourself how he works."

"Thank God, ma, sorry Ardan hasn't been there yet but will soon see Rei."

"Already, you focus there first accompany your parents, because many guests will be busy. Let Rei rest first."

"Yes, Ardan told mama earlier than asked Rei. Assalamualaikum"
