The next morning, sure enough, Rendi came back to Anita's house to return to the city. Because Monday he has entered work again and his work has piled up. Rendi hopes that Chiko can persuade Anita to come along.
Yuni's mother herself did not care about Anita's ex-husband, she had gone to the place of worship early in the morning because of her duty to prepare all the needs there.
While Anita had gone to the market, she did not attend Sunday worship at the church because Rendi wanted to say goodbye to her and her two children.
Before Rendi came, Chiko was already naehati by Anita. Don't whine to come along when Rendi asks her.
"So, papa will go to work, adek Iko do not ask to come like yesterday?" pinta Anita on Chiko who is playing her leg.
"Yes ma, said papa also in a week mama must catch up with papa. So today Iko did not cry for papa." Chiko replied innocently and calmly.
Glue, glue,
Anita gulps her own saliva, wanting him to curse Rendi. But well there's a week ahead to keep persuading Chiko not to ask to come along or follow Rendi into town.
Anita walks into her shop, she sees from inside the car shop Rendi stops in front of her house. He snorted bitterly as Rendi got out of his car. Letting Rendi enter the house with Chiko and Chila.
But wait, Anita will accompany Chiko so that Rendi does not give a lot of negative suggestions to her son. He then rushed out from inside the store and met Rendi who was sitting with Chiko and Chila.
Anita sat down next to Chila, warming up Chila's slightly messy hair.
"Are you ready to go?" asked Anita without looking at Rendi.
" Yeah, I'm leaving in an hour." replied Rendi.
He took out something from the paperbag he was carrying earlier. Giving two boxes of cell phones given to his two children one-on-one.
Chiko seemed enthusiastic as well as Chila. But the girl then looked at Anita to make sure that she could receive a cell phone from Rendi. Anita nodded slowly and smiled at Chila.
The two opened the box impatiently. Want to know what kind of cell phone his father gave him.
"Ma, good phone. It's not like having a mama, it's ugly." Chiko said after the cardboard was opened.
Anita smiled, Chila was also happy with her new phone.
"Don't you like his cell phone?"ask Rendi.
"Like pa." replied Chila.
"Later can be given a protector as you like. Hello kitty shape or keroppi shape" Anita told Chila again.
" Yes ma, later the keroppi aja ma. I love the color green." said Chila.
" Yes, tomorrow you buy at the market."
"Iko too ma, the spiderman yes ma." Chiko chimed in.
"Yes, tomorrow you're buying it too."
" Pa, why aren't you buying it anyway?" chiko started to protest at her father.
Rendi silently stiffly responded to her son's speech. But his smile broadened and sealed his son's head.
" Later, papa buy for mama if you have come to the city with Iko and Chila's sister" replied Rendi.
"No, I can buy it myself. Who will call me anyway. Customers all fill my contacts. So what makes a cell phone good and expensive." Anita replied cynically.
Not expecting to be bought by him, but Rendi's speech that made Anita so cynical to respond.
Rendi was silent again, she knew Anita would not buy anything from her. So he did not buy anything even though he actually wanted to buy something for Anita. But she was afraid Anita would reject her.
For a long time they chatted in the living room, so Rendi could not give input to Chiko as a weapon to persuade Anita to come with him. Anita still faithfully accompanies her two children so that Rendi's negative suggestions do not enter Chiko's ears and mind.
But damn, Rendi was always lucky. In front were two shoppers in Anita's shop. Inevitably Anita also rose from her seat, stared intently at her ex-husband and gave an ultimatum.
"Well, if you persuade Chiko who is not right, I will break up with your son." so threatened Anita.
Rendi just smiled at Anita's threat. He himself did not care, but still his plan for the last time relying on Chiko.
Anita goes into the store, although her heart is worried but she tries to calm down and trust with Rendi who definitely heed her threat.
Half an hour later, Anita finished also serving a buyer, she immediately returned to the three. And he saw that Rendi was still as silent as before. There was a sense of relief in Anita's heart, she hoped that Rendi would not force her to come with Rendi.
"Say it's only an hour, it's been an hour you've been here. When are you leaving?" tanya Anita reminded Rendi.
Rendi looked at the clock that was coiling in her hand. Ten o'clock exactly. And finally he got up from his seat.
"Yes, I'm leaving first. Please if Chiko wants to follow you to the city, Anita. I promise I'll take him for a walk this weekend. Wherever she wants." Rendi told Anita.
Anita is silent, hoping Chiko does not remember her father's words later.
"Anita?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Rendi looked at Anita who looked annoyed at her. She still has hopes for Chiko to bring Anita to town. If you can't, next week or anytime.
" Oh yeah, Chiko's phone has a chip card. Same with Chila. I'll call them often."
"Yes." Yeah."
"Papa left first. Later you can catch up with papa to the city or papa who came here" said Rendi.
" Without pa, later the same brother also mother who to papa" said Chiko.
Rendi smiled, she hugged the two boys again.
"Kiss papq dong, deck?" pinta Rendi on Chiko.
Chiko then according to her, she kissed Rendi and laughed happily. While Chila was still silent, feeling unasked by Rendi.
"Don't you want to kiss papa?" ask Rendi.
And finally Chila kissed Rendi too.
After Reni said goodbye, now he drove his car with a heavy heart. Tomorrow he will contact Chiko to persuade Anita to follow again.
After all, if his children ask to go to the city to see his father, it is definitely delivered by Anita as well.

One day, two days until the fifth day Chiko had forgotten her words would overtake Rendinke town. Anita was relieved, Chiko did not offend Rendi anymore.
So even on the seventh day, Chiko still forgot. Relieved Anita, it turns out Chiko forgot. Now Anita is not anxious and worried anymore because she thinks Chiko forgot.
But one day, early in the morning Chiko woke up and shouted until Yuni's mother in the kitchen was moved to approach her grandson.
"Iko, what's up screaming?" asked Yuni's mother who was shocked as well as Chila.
"Iko wants to go to papa, Iko wants to go to papa in the city. Mamaaay!"
Chiko's shout shocked Yuni's mother back. He calmed down his grandson who started crying hysterically.
"Mama is going to market. Iko shut up don't cry" said Yuni's mother.
" Don't want to, anyway Iko wants to come to the city. Mamaa!"
Anita who had just come to hear Chiko crying while screaming calling herself immediately ran towards her son's room.
"What's wrong mom, why is Chiko crying so hard?" ask Anita in wonder.
"Ck, he asked for his papa" Yuni's mother said.
Anita gawks, she silently stiffly sees Chiko still crying loudly calling Rendi and now she rolls on the floor.
Anita then approached her son and hugged him tightly. So that her son would be quiet, but Chiko made a violent revolt.
This kind of attitude Chiko had never done before, she then suddenly got upset herself. But she calmed her son.
"Iko don't do this, baby. Who taught you shit like this?" ask Anita slowly.
"Iko wants to go to town. Go to papa!" shout Chiko.
Anita took a long, patient breath.
"Yes later yeah. Adek don't cry on."
" Wouldn't! anyway Iko wants to go to papa, ma." still sticking with his attitude.
"Yes, later mama deliver to papa, after that mama immediately go home. Let's get you in there with papa?" said Anita.
Chiko was silent, she then stopped crying, looking at Anita.
"Mom really going to papa?"
"And who wants to go to papa, mama will go home after delivering adek to papa" said Anita again explained.
"Will not! Anyway mama should also come with Iko at papa's house."
"Iko!"
Shouted Anita, she widened her eyes at the boy. Yuni's mother pulled her granddaughter over, so she felt sorry for Chiko as well.
"Already Anita, you follow your son's will. If he meets you, you can go back home with them. For now you have to give in, it is not good to often scold children for your selfishness" said Yuni's wise mother.
Anita grunts annoyedly. He thought it would calm down again after Rendi returned home to the city again. But finally, Anita's heart also melted, why should you argue with a child who just biangkeroknya no longer exist.
Later after there, he will meddle Rendi. He did not care if he had to fight again with Rendi.
"OK, the day after mama take you to papa. But remember, do not ask for anything and do not want to be persuaded by your father. Understood?!" anita threatens her two children, especially Chiko.
