The next morning the house became a scene due to the arrival of Vienna. Vienna came last night when people were sleeping. Deswita and Vienna's mother hugged each other. Deswita's mother cries for Vishnu.

“Vienna, Vishnu left Mamah,” Mother Deswita said in tears.

“Already, Mah. Ikhlaskan Mas Vishnu. He was calm there,” Vienna said as he rubbed his Mamah's back.

“Poor Vishnu, he can not see his son,” said Mother Deswita.

Deswita's mother took off her embrace.

“Mamah's grandson is now big and in good health. Yesterday Mamah and Aunt Euis saw Mamah's grandchildren when inUSG,” said Ms. Deswita.

Vienna smiled, Her mother immediately stopped crying when telling her granddaughter's condition.

Haifa came and approached Vienna, Vienna embraced Haifa. But Vienna immediately let go of his hug because he felt someone kicking his stomach.

“What is it?” Ask Vienna in shock.

Haifa smile.

“There is a miss with tantenya,” Haifa replied as she rubbed her enlarged stomach.

“Oh….Baby is already smart kicking, yes!” Vienna.

Vienna rubbed Haifa's stomach.

“How are you, Baby? Auntie kangen same Baby,” greet Vienna.

The baby in Haifa's stomach answered with a kick.

“Aduh...kamu nendang Aunty continue, yes,” said Vienna.

“Baby is happy because his chatty Tantu came home,” Haifa said with a smile.

“Oh...kangen same Aunt, yes,” Vienna says while rubbing Haifa's belly.

“Haifa, it will be noon Vienna friends want to come here. They want to be treated,” said Vienna.

“How many people want to come?” Ask Haifa.

“Not many. Only three people,” replied Vienna.

“Let Haifa prepare to visit it,” Haifa said.

“Not bother! Can they come here just to serve,” said Vienna.

“It's not nice if there are guests not entertained anything. Haifa will have Mbak Iroh buy the cake,” Haifa said.

Eleven o'clock at noon the Viennese friends came. It was fortunate that Haifa had prepared everything to entertain the guests of Vienna. Viennese friends will be invited to lunch together.

“Haifa, here. Vienna friends want to meet you,” said Vienna who approached Haifa in the dining room.

Vienna pulled Haifa's hand and took her to the living room. Viennese friends are having a conversation with Ms. Deswita.

“This is the wife of the late Mas Vishnu. His name is Haifa,” Vienna told friends.

“This is called Asri.” Vienna pointed to her female friend.

Haifa greeted Asri with a sundanese salaman.

“And his name is Fahri,” Vienna points to his handsome friend who stands next to Fikri.

“Tante into first, yes. You guys just chat with Haifa and Vienna,” said Ms. Deswita.

“Iya, Aunt,” replied friends Vienna.

Haifa sat next to Vienna.

“Haifa is still young once,” Asri said.

“Iya. When married to Mas Vishnu, Haifa just finished high school,” said Vienna.

“More beaches so his sister Vienna,” says Fikri.

“Biarin, she is indeed my sister,” Vienna said as she rubbed Haifa's back.

Suddenly Iroh came.

“Non, lunch is ready,” said Iroh.

Haifa stood up.

“Mbak Mas-Mas, let's have lunch first,” take Haifa.

“Aduh, we are so ngerepotin Haifa,” Asri said.

“No, Ma'am,” says Haifa.

“Come on, we eat,” says Haifa.

Haifa went into the house, while Vienna invited her friends to eat. Haifa checked again the dishes provided.

Shortly afterwards Vienna came along with his friends. They sit at the dining table. Haifa did not eat with her Viennese friends. Haifa chose to join Ms. Deswita and Ms. Euis who were watching in the living room.

“Vienna, Haifa did not come to eat with us?” Ask Fahri.

“He must snack first, just want to eat rice,” replied Vienna.

Vienna saw Bi Iyah enter from the garage to the family room while carrying a plastic bag.

“Tuh! The snacks have arrived.” Vienna pointed towards Bi Iyah.

Everyone looked at Bi Iyah.

“Haifa every snack day?” Ask Fahri.

“Iya, since she was pregnant she became fond of snacks,” replied Vienna.

“Not banned? It will hurt most snacks,” said Fahri.

“Pregnants are different, Fahri! If it is forbidden he would not eat at all,” Asri said.

“Tuh! Right said Asri,” said Vienna.

“Ntar if you already have a new wife know, how confusing women if pregnant,” said Asri.

“Dengerin again! Asri said,” said Vienna.

Suddenly Haifa passed the dining table carrying a plastic bag.

“What is Haifa?” Vienna points to a plastic bag carried by Haifa.

“Baso, Ma'am. Want to?” Ask Haifa.

“Ngak. Just for you,” replied Vienna.

Haifapun went into the kitchen and not a single time Haifa returned with a bowl filled with baso.

“Haifa, eat it together dong here,” invite Asri.

“Ngak ah. Eat it with Mamah aja.” Haifa pointed to the living room.

“Eat it here only. Sit here.” Fahri pointed to the empty chair that was next to him.

Inevitably Haifa joined the meal together with Vienna and his friends.

“Mbak try the sauce, yes.”

Vienna took the baso sauce from the Haifa bowl and tasted it.

“Pedes once.” Vienna sipped drinking water.

“How many tablespoons?” ask Vienna.

“Three tablespoons,” Haifa replied calmly.

“Yes, Haifa…..You don't think you sambelnya,” said Vienna.

“It's good, Ma'am,” Haifa replied.

“You said good, but pity the baby. Next time minus the sambelnya,” said Vienna is still spiciness.

“Iya, Ma'am,” Haifa replied.

They finally ate together. Fahri chews his food while occasionally noticing Haifa eating meatballs.

Haifa is beautiful. But pity is young is already a widow, whispered Fahri in the heart.

Vienna sees Fahri watching Haifa.

Hopefully Haifa gets a replacement for Mas Vishnu, Vienna said in his heart.
