Then Naz took a towel and rushed to the bathroom. After 15 minutes of bathing Naz had changed clothes and went straight down to the dinner table for dinner.

“What time is it home? How do I not know?” Naz asked as he shifted the chair to sit on.

“Tadi pas magrib,,, how can you know your people sleep very fast, when Dad came into your room you certainly did not realize ya”, replied Father.

“Hehe, yes Well I was really cape until I overslept deh”. Naz even grimly caught his kebo when sleeping.

“Ih, no, the time to nengokin Mimih be a gift, it is one of the obligations of a grandson to see his grandmother who is sick”. Naz replied then showed his pouting face.”How about tomorrow anyway, why not leave now only Yah” Naz whining.

“So when dad came home drizzled baby, did not hear last there was a rumbling noise?,, this part of the night, want nyampe what time we are there,, ", Dad got up from his seat, “Let's chat in the TV room just let's relax”.

“This afternoon was a very bright feeling”, Naz went hand in hand with the Father.

“Ya it was yesterday afternoon, now different again, the weather is difficult to predict, a little hot suddenly rain, anyways now it has entered the rainy season dear”. And it's true you just said, it rained hard. They sat on the couch in the TV room, and suddenly someone came.

“Assalamualaikum” Dandy comes in with a soaked wet look.

“Waalaikum salam” Father and Naz reply simultaneously.

“The rain is so big, fortunately we have nyampe” Dandy said to someone behind him who has not entered.

“Dan, you just came home, soaking wet so”, Dad asked in surprise when Dandy appeared from the direction of the living room.

“That's well earlier open the gate suddenly raining down with a rush, so do not take shelter, where is it difficult to open the padlock, how is it already in the lock at this hour?” Dandy even so nagging.“Ma'am, please take two ya” towels he shouted.

“Two brothers, who are you for?”Naz felt astonished at his brother, then someone appeared from the direction of the living room.

“Loh, Arfin, you also followed the rain anyway?” Dad felt surprised by the presence of Arfin especially Naz he became confused because of the incident of sending a message last afternoon.

“Iya om, we took the motorbike here “ Replied Arfin who had shivered in the cold.

“This is the towel, sorry the gate I padlocked earlier, I think Mas Dandy is home because his car is already in the garage” Mbak Iyem turned out to be the one who locked the gate.

Arfin and Dandy received a towel that was brought by mbak iyem, then they rushed to the bathroom, Dandi to the bathroom above while Arfin to the bathroom next to Dandy's room. They change clothes in Dandy's room, and Arfin borrows Dandy's clothes, and they join in sitting in the TV room with Naz and his father, and there is coffee provided, and there, hot tea and cake by Mbak Iyem.

“Where are you out of?”, Dad opens the conversation.

“That's well, this afternoon I just entered the house right into this room people call said there was an accident to be picked up” Dandy explained while sipping his coffee.

“Accident,,, what accident?”, Dad asked back.

“So I was on my way home om, happened to feel thirsty and my car was on to the waist in front of a stall, suddenly there was a car that screwed and hit my car until the back was destroyed and ”, Uncompleted Arfin convent was immediately cut off.

“Hah,, keep brother Arfin not why-why right, no one hurt?” Suddenly Naz spoke in a panicked tone, making the three men there look at Naz with astonished eyes. And it makes Naz feel ashamed.”Ma ma means, he said his car was hit and crushed behind him, right,, right,, right, Uncle Arfin was in his car” Naz scratched his head when he did not feel itchy while grinning.

“Who Arfin said in the car, so it was horrified first if people again talk Deck, do not just cut duck goose” Dandy booked Naz's statement and laugh with the father, Dandy, whereas Naz only grinned while wailing because Arfin continued to look at him while smiling to make Naz lower his face, embarrassed again this was haphazard.

“No, fortunately I was out to buy a drink, so I contacted Dandy for help to pick me up there Om”, Arfin continued his explanation that had been cut earlier.

“And because the area is jammed like sampe naudzubillah, I picked up Arfin using a motor Well, uh pas nyampe in front of the rain” gate. The explanation ended and continued chatting while chatting. While busy chatting, suddenly turned off the lights, Dandy turned on his phone to look for emergency lights, but when looking out of the window glass, it turned out that others did not turn off the lights.

“Daddy, others do not turn off the lights, just our house doang, like sikringnya or kwh his problem deh Yah”, said Dandy.

“ Aaaaaak” Naz yells then stands reflex hugging Arfin “I'm afraid,, Mother I'm afraid” Naz cries in fear hugging Arfin tightly. The lightning flash also came again along with the sound of more thunderous glade duarrrr duarrrr ...”Aaaaaaaaaa, Mother I'm afraid, I don't want them to take me” Naz back screaming and crying.

“Naz,,, Naz,, calm me down here “ Arfin stroked Naz's back to calm him down, "What's with him, how come it got scared like this, if he was traumatized by something " Arfin had a dialogue in his heart, and finally the lights came back on.

“Tell them to go Mother,,,, tell them to go ,, huaaa hua”, Naz cried hysterically.

Dad and Dandy immediately entered when they heard Naz's screams and approached Naz who was hugging Arfin, “Darling, calm dear, it's okay, son, there's nobody here” Dad held Naz's hand and pulled him slowly out of Arfin's arms. ”Look,, this is my dear father, open your eyes hemmm, this is my father,” Naz who is still afraid to open his eyes slowly and directly hug his father.

“Dad, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, they took me, I don't want” Naz hugged the father tightly with fear.

“ Already sssstt ssstt dear, calm yourself yes, no one will take you dear, Dad will always protect you dear, shht shht,,already yes” Dad kept wiping his back and kissed Naz's head to calm him down.

“But the door is open, later they enter again, I'm afraid hiks“, Naz continues to cry until his body is wet with sweat so scared.

“No dear, it was the same father Brother Dandy who opened the door to actually sikring because the lights were off”, Dad continued to calm Naz and gestured Dandy to close the door.

Moments later Naz had started to calm down again, and Dad slowly let go of his embrace and asked Naz to sit on the sofa while Dad crouched down in front of him.

“Sayang see... here there is only Father, Brother Dandy and Arfin” Dad pointed at him, then pointed at Dandy and Arfin. “Nobody else dear, hem,,,, listen dear, Father, Mother, and Your brothers will always take care of you and will not let anyone take you away from us except.” Dad stopped his words.

“Except what?” Naz asked with a sigh.

“Unless you're married, I can prevent your husband from taking you with him” Dad even teases Naz to shift his fear.

“Iih Daddy” Naz hit his Dad's chest by showing his pouting face.

“Emang yes dear, this father's daughter if she grows up later proposed people continue to marry and stay with your husband, that Mother also brought with Father from Bandung here…. Yes Dan”, Dad turned to Dandy with a smile, then sat down next to Naz.

“It is, but that too if anyone wants to be the same spoiled and rancid child, Yah” Dandy even menggeledek this mah.

“Dad,,,Sir tuh” Naz whining for a defense.

“Emang yes, if anyone wants also the guy must have extra patience pool”, Dandy continues to sneak.

“Who said no one wants, said Ruby also in her school many who have a crush on this beloved bontot girl Dad, even up to-to-the-grandparents also follow a crush, he said”, Dad continued to tease Naz, while Naz and Arfin exchanged glances when they heard Dad say.

“Apaan the hell Dad, Ruby ngarang it” Naz deny.

“Narang what dad people have heard for themselves ah “, Dad kekeh.

“Denger what Yah”, Tanya Dandy fishing.

“That's when Naz called the same night the American lizard, that, Dad was horrified from behind the door of Naz”'s room, Dad reminded of past events.

" It's okay ", Arfin replied nervously.

" Lo why the hell, gelagat lo kayak people have caught wet ajja", Dandy was surprised by Arfin's sudden change in attitude.

"Catch wet what? ", arfin turned back his name

"Catch a wet malingering girls people" Dandy's answer suddenly invited the laughter of the father, the father, and, they both laughed while Arfin and Naz looked at each other and wailed because they felt embarrassed when they called her father Naz.

" Oh yeah, well, Dad knows who that lickhead is" Dandy was curious.

"That's it, until now I don't know, who the hell is Naz? ", that question was finally asked by Dad too.

Naz and Arfin opened their eyes wide, making them look at each other.

" I have to answer what is this haduh? " Naz muttered in his heart.
