"Seriously, huh?" challenge Joe with a laugh. "But wait, who's lemes? I what are you?"
"Well, I might lemes. I'm strong."
"Masa, anyway? Let's prove it now!" The man challenged again.
And without lingering, the quarrel was immediately done. But of course with a little touch of warm-up.

Next day.
Robert slowly opened his eyes. He awoke from sleep when he heard an alarm sound on the alarm clock that indicated the time of dawn.
"Where are Mommy and Daddy going?" Robert frowned, feeling astonished because he noticed the mattress there was no Syifa or Joe. "Mommy! Daddy!" screaming called.
He got off the bed and walked quickly to the bathroom. In his mind, both of his parents must have been inside the bathroom. Must be taking ablution water.
But in fact, they weren't there.
"Where the hell ... Mommy and Daddy? How say?"
Because suddenly feel like urinating, be Robert pee first while washing your face. Only then did he step out of the room.
"Eh ... Is Robert awake?"
There was a maid Aunt outside, she was mopping the floor. But took the time to greet Robert when he saw him.
"Yes, Bi," Robert replied with a smile. "Oh yeah, Auntie see Mommy and Daddy? They're not in the room, are they?"
"Auntie doesn't know, Deck." Aunty maid shook her head. "From the moment Aunt woke up ... Aunty didn't see Adek's parents."
"What time is it, Auntie woke up?"
"Hour 4."
"So, did you go to the kitchen? Did you see them there?"
"Bunty's woken up straight to the kitchen, Deck, do the dishes. But Auntie didn't see them."
"Oh yes already." Robert stepped towards the stairs, but suddenly the servant aunt called him back.
"Where are you going now?"
"Robert wanted Mommy and Daddy out of the house. Good time they're jogging."
"Be careful, Deck."
"Yes, Bi."
Robert walked quickly to get out of the house. On his side there, he immediately turned to the right and left. Seeking the whereabouts of both parents.
"Where the hell are they? But Daddy's car is there."
Robert's eyes were stopped on the beloved Lamborghini owned by the Daddy, which was parked neatly in his yard.
However, he was still wondering, because both of them had not been seen in plain sight.
"Dek Robert why leave the house? Find who?" A security guard came to his house.
"Om know Daddy's with Mommy isn't it? How come they don't exist in their room, huh?" asked Robert astonished.
"That's why, Robert was confused, too, Om. The car's there, but they're not in the room." Robert scratched his suddenly itchy bald head.
"Maybe they're taking a shower, Dek."
"Nothing, Om. Robert was looking in the bathroom, ", Robert answered and looked at the clock on his wrist, which suddenly sounded the alarm. "Yes is already ... Robert kepengen dawn prayer first. Afraid of the time to run out because of Daddy and Mommy. Later when it's finished just look for it again."
"Yes, Deck." The guard nodded with a smile, then looked at Robert who had passed into the house.

A room door was suddenly opened, as Robert had finished his prayer with a gesture of greeting.
Joe does, he goes in with Syifa but looks different. Both of them looked like they had taken a shower. In addition to fresh, Syifa's hair also looks wet without a veil.
After rubbing his face, Robert then asked, "Mommy and Daddy out of nowhere? Robert looked around."
"Daddy went with Mommy to the guest room, son," replied Syifa. He smiled with footsteps approaching the child, then crouched down and kissed her forehead.
"Remain to the guest room?" asked Robert curiously.
"Mommy helped Daddy find a tie," Joe replied, reasoned, then touched the tie that was now wrapped around the collar of his shirt. "Daddy forgot, never miss this tie in the guest room closet. Because they want to be used ... Daddy asked Mommy for help looking for him. To meet soon."
"But how come Daddy's tie is in the guest room? It's not like Daddy hasn't slept in the guest room, has he?" Robert looked puzzled, then took the peci off his head.
"Daddy never slept in the guest room, Rob," replied Joe who again lied.
"Udahan used to talk. Mommy is the same Daddy wants to pray Fajr first, afraid he's out of time." In order to be free from questions, Syifa immediately switched the conversation. But indeed he and Joe really have not prayed Fajr.
'Kok I feel ... Mommy's the same Daddy weird, huh?' Robert frowned, watching his parents pass into the bathroom. Moreover, he failed to focus on seeing Syifa whose path was so difficult. 'Why Mommy's path? How so? They also appear to have taken a shower. Is it possible to shower in the guest room as well?'
Some of those lines of questions were in his mind, but there was a little bit of relief from— as Robert had already seen them return.

A black sedan car crossed the highway, Ustad Jonah was in it.
This morning he was going on a pilgrimage to his father's grave. In addition to wanting to send a prayer, Ustad Jonah also felt a longing.
However, he suddenly saw a black-hijab girl standing at the side of the road holding a bag and a map. From his face, Ustad Jonah felt a little familiar. Finally, he stopped his car right in front of the girl.
"Sorry ... What are you doing and do you need help?" asked Ustad Yunus who had lowered his car glass. He asked like that because before the girl looked busy looking for something. Keep looking to the right and left.
"Oh .. Here I am again looking for a taxi, sir. But from then on the feeling did not pass." The girl looked at Ustad Yunus with a smile.
"If I may know ... Where is the lady going? Maybe I can help you give me a ride?"
"I want to go to the nearest elementary school here, sir. And if you don't mind .. I just want to hitchhike to your car so quickly arrive. What can?" tanyakanya.
"Of course you can, Miss. I'll offer you first." Ustad Yunus immediately opened his seatbelt, then shifted his body to be able to open the door beside him. "Please come in."
"Thank you, sir." The girl went straight in, then sat down and smiled sweetly. "But by the way ... Where are you going? It's okay, if I hitchhike?"
"I'm going to a public funeral. But 'will pass the elementary school, Miss, so let's all pass by, '" replied Ustad Yunus and restarted the engine of his car which he had turned off. "Miss is ready yet? We're leaving now?"
"Ready, sir." The girl nodded quickly.
Shortly, the car drove away. Split highway. For a moment—Ustad Yunus turned to the girl beside him. "It looks like we've met once, huh? And if you may know .. Miss own name who? If I were Jonah."
