"We went home first ma'am, sir, thank you very much for the hope and the cake," said Ummi Ulfa turned to Mother Hafsah and Ayah Syawal alternately. "Oh yes, be careful on the road well prospective beloved daughter-in-law Ummi, good luck until Toraja," he continued to hug Yasmin with affection.

"Yes Ummi, Ummi and Abi are also careful on the road well, may Allah always take care of us," Yasmin's great-grandson returned Ummi's embrace for a moment, then switched to kissing Ummi and Abi's hands alternately.

"Hey Will. Take care of my future wife, lest she be scuffed, watch out for you" Joseph threatened Wildan to make everyone laugh.

Yasmin, meanwhile, blushed in embarrassment with a faint smile on her lips when she heard Joseph call her 'my wife'.

"Jeez. indeed Yasmin want to salto-salto or jontos there to be scuffed everything," continued Wildan made everyone laugh again amusedly.

"Well, if we leave first, Assalamu 'alaikum." Abi and Ummi say hello together.

"Dek, we left first well, take good care of yourself there, do not forget to tell ya," said Yusuf making Yasmin nod with a smile.

"Jeez this is a child, be patient why the hell, 1 month is not long anyway," said Ummi Ulfa who wanted to get in the car, but stopped when he saw Joseph speaking in a small voice to Yasmin.

"Yes Ummi, this is also the case," Yusuf said and walked into the car. "Assalamu 'alaikum everything" said Yusuf then closed the door of his car.

"Wa'alaikum salam" replied everyone who was there at the same time.

"Okay, now it's our turn to go comrades" Wildan said excitedly.

The four of them finally say goodbye to Shawwal's father, Hafsah's mother and Yana and Yanin's sister

"Okay twin sister, brother Wildan go first, bye" said Wildan to Yana and Yani. This time he did not want to mention names anymore for fear of mispronouncing names.

The car started running with Ryan in front with the driver, Anna and Yasmin in the middle, and Wildan in the back.

Wildan deliberately chose behind so that he could monitor Ryan's full movements against Anna.

The car continued to run, approximately 5 hours long, finally at 02:30 pm, they decided to take a break as well as a late lunch in Enrekang.

"Well, you see, the mountain is beautiful." Ryan's eyes glimmered at the mountain.

"Oh that's Miss Yan Mountain, isn't it Yasmin?" Anna confirmed the answer to Yasmin.

"Ana Valley, it's called Miss Mountain, beautiful and unique shape" Yasmin said.

After lunch, they decided to continue their journey to Toraja which is only 2 hours away.

"Ann, you've contacted your family in Toraja right?" ask Yasmin.

"Yes done, we will spend the night at my aunt's house in Makale 1 night, then tomorrow we go to Rante pao, we just stay at the hotel, how?" haggar Anna who was only answered with a nod by everyone who began to feel sleepy after lunch earlier.

About 2 hours away, they now arrive at the home of Aunt Irma, sister of Anna's late father in the afternoon. Apparently aunt Irma had been waiting for their arrival since.

"After 5 long years, Anna finally returned home, yeee," Anna cheered happily before getting out of the car. Wildan who was in the back seat stumbled a smile feeling uneasy with Anna.

"Assalamu 'alaikum aunty, '" said Anna then kissed the hand and hugged aunt Irma.

"God is this Anna? you're so pretty wearing a hijab," complimented Aunt Irma to make Anna shame.

"Yes Ma, the tomboy Anna has changed" exclaimed Mala, Anna's 18-year-old cousin.

"Hehe, can't you get a good mate too, right deck?" anna's chirping spontaneously made Wildan and Ryan flutter at the same time.

Anna immediately looked back at Wildan and Ryan with astonished gazes.

"Tante, I think my friends are catching a cold" Anna's great-grandson made Yasmin laugh.

"Oh yeah later aunty make sarabba well," bargained aunt Irma.

"Saraba is what aunty?" ryan was confused.

"Not the Yan saraba, but the sarabba," Anna's errat made Ryan nod.

Anna then introduces her aunt Irma and Mala to Yasmin, Wildan and Ryan.

Yasmin and Anna will stay at Irma's aunt's house tonight, while Wildan and Ryan will stay at Irma's neighbor's house.

"Ann, do you think that Brother Wildan and Ryan can be familiar? the thing is that throughout the trip they always stay together," Yasmin tidied up the hijab while watching Wildan and Ryan in the house next door talking, whatever they were talking about.

"Let's see Yas, if I see how difficult it is, because they are like oil and water, it is difficult to unite, hahaha." Anna laughed remembering those who always threw sharp glances every time they spoke.
