The next morning Bima wakes up and breakfast and takes Aira to school with Diah on his motorcycle.

The three of them rode a motorcycle that used to be the Bima motorbike 2 years ago.

After taking Aira for an exam at her school, Bima also invited Diah to Dito's kiosk first, now can be used by Diah to open his own business. But it can not be at the end of this year, because Bima will take her leave and want to go home to her parents.

"Huh?! Can I wear a mas? And we're gonna go to papa's house and mama's ya mas?" ask Diah who is happy and in disbelief.

"Thank you, ma'am" Diah smiled at Bima and hugged her.

"Yes my dear..," said Bima.

Bima also immediately went to the office which returned to activity as usual. While Diah was very happy to immediately contact Sriana ma'am in Yogyakarta.

"Hallo, is this Sriana's mom..?" ask Diah.

"Yes right, who is this?" ask Sriana back.

"Mom, this is Diah the mother's employee who was boarding at the mother's place as well" he said.

"Oh, you're Diah.., how are you now? you seem to be very kind and happy" said Sriana.

Diah then chatted taking off his miss with Sriana's mom, and did not forget he said his intention and purpose. Diah explained everything and her desire to work together to open a batik boutique, and Diah wanted to get good quality goods from Sriana later.

"So ma'am, but chances are I'll open that boutique and shop next month. Because this month I am going to Palembang to go to my parents' house" Diah explained.

"Okay Diah, you can finally achieve your dream. One that you want, keep your relationship and loved ones who are sincere with you. Because they're precious and there's no one else like them." Sriana advised Diah.

"All right, ma'am, thank you until later, ma'am." The conversation was closed.

Diah was very happy, and that was the thing she had been dreaming of all this time. And that day he became eager to do all his homework.

At 10pm, Diah went to pick up Aira at her school. Today Diah wants to take Aira to the supermarket to shop for some necessities in the kitchen. Because later tonight Diah wants to cook mei chicken to eat together at home.

Bima also said he would go home quickly and have dinner at home, he said.

So tonight Diah wants to cook a different meal and will eat on the side terrace with a nightly atmosphere. Diah will also cook some typical Palembang snacks with sour and spicy sauce.

Because tomorrow is the weekend and the exam is over, so this afternoon Aira helped her mother in the kitchen prepare her food.

Aira was very enthusiastic, even eager to make other foods as well.

Aira and Diah prepare dinner without realizing it is 17:00 pm and they are not yet in the shower.

"Ma, let's take a shower first" Aira said to her mother.

"Huh, what? what time is Aira?" ask Diah who is still busy arranging her food.

"It's late in the afternoon mom, soon father in an hour father come home loh ma..?" Aira went to her room to take a shower immediately.

"After an hour, Dad's home? what time is it now?" in his heart he wondered.

Diah looked at the wall clock in the kitchen near the dining table, and was surprised to find that time was changing rapidly.

Diah finally went to take a bath and cleaned herself, because her clothes already stank so much. All mixed there, fishy chicken, smell of onions and other spices.

Aira is now big and growing up, her face is getting more beautiful and charming.

"Assalamualaikum..," Bima had returned home that afternoon half an hour earlier than usual.

"Eh, you're home?" Aira hugged Bima.

"What are you doing, baby?" ask Bima who noticed her child.

"By helping mom prepare all our dinner dong dad.., today we have a very different special dinner" said Aira.

"Different? Well, why dad so curious about what Aira said." said Bima who directly helped Aira.

"Ah, honey are you home?" Diah hugged her husband and Bima kissed Diah's cheek.

"Today there's a celebration of what the hell, baby? How Aira said we had dinner today is very special and different." asked Bima to his wife.

"Ah, there is no celebration of anything today really well.., just let there be a variety and a little different" said Diah.

"Let's eat yah, ma?!"

"Everything is ready for the spell" Aira said with a smile.

They all ate together and with the warmth of their little family. So exciting they eat three and very harmonious in the family.

***

After finishing dinner, Bima took a short break, while Aira was in her room reading a book she had borrowed from her school library.

Diah was busy with her dishwasher in the sink and before long she went to the room and took a shower. Diah still wants to clean in her new kitchen she will sleep in the room.

Now that it was 10 p.m., Diah walked into her son's room. She saw Aira hugging the book on her bed. Diah approaches and Aira and sees what the book really is, and why Aira read it.

A child's dream is realized, it is written on the cover of the book. Then Diah tidied up Aira's sleeping position and covered her, after which the book was opened sheet by sheet. Seeing what was inside, Diah was surprised when he read the words inside.

It turned out that Aira got the passion and persistence from the book, her dream was there and with the book she wanted to achieve that dream soon. What a great child Aira was, the book gave her a wide view out there, and opened Diah's eyes at the time.

Inside the book was a piece of paper written and it was Aira's writing.

...All the children in this world can achieve dreams, including me, my great hope to be able to make all the children in this world who do not have a full family....

...Because I've felt it, and it's so hard to remember....

...But this time I'm more excited because a small family has been together again intact as before....

...Do not give up on those of you who do not have a family, show that you can even create your own family out there to achieve your dreams and dreams....

Diah cried reading it, it turns out the paper was deliberately stored in the book. To be ready anyone who reads the book will find encouraging writing for himself later.

"My dear child's mind.., I'm sorry my mother made a scar on your heart first."

"Mama will as much as possible not to repeat it again and must sacrifice the feelings of a child like yourself" said Diah then kissed the forehead of Aira who was sleeping soundly.

The book was placed on a small table beside her, and Diah came out of Aira's room while still looking at her son. The light was extinguished and the door closed slowly, his heart still felt guilty and hit with the writing of his son. His legs were not even strong enough to stand, Diah finally sat on the floor in front of his son's room door that night.
