“Mbak Shireen why not get ready. It's four o'clock in the afternoon, it's time to go home.

“Didn't your husband come home around five?” ask Irma.

“Indeed Yes Ir, so mbak want to wait in this store aja.”

“Mbak will be able to go home first by gojek,” bargain Irma again.

“Neither Ir. Ma'am waiting for her husband to come home from work.”

“In that case, Irma went home first yes Ma'am..” said to Irma.

While Bu Nana has been restless waiting for the return of Shireen who has not returned until now. Though his promise last night Shireen will go home quickly because many clothes that have not been electrified.

Ms. Nana who had been restless for a while went in and out waiting for the arrival of Shireen. Four o'clock in the afternoon, but Shireen hasn't come home yet.

It's five in the afternoon but Shireen hasn't come home yet.

Seeing his mother who had been agitated Afika immediately asked.

“Mother, why have Fika noticed Mom is fidgeting times.”

“Where do you not fidget Fika. Shireen has not come home yet.”

Hearing her mother's words, Afika was astonished.

‘Since when did I pay attention to Shireen. Didn't you all this time I didn't like Shireen, the inner’ of Afika in my heart.

“Biarin aja loh bu. Shireen is an adult and she knows the way home.”

Hearing Afika's words, Ms. Nana was getting annoyed.

“Mother is not worried about Shireen's safety, but mother is upset because she did not keep her promise,” explained bu Nana.

“Indeed she promises what's the same Mother?” ask Afika wonder.

“She last night promised that today will go home faster because many clothes have not been ironed.”

“Oh.... Fika thinks because mom is worried about Shireen.

“Ngapain is also mom worrying about it.”

“Mom shouldn't hate someone too much for no reason. Maybe Shireen is currently having a lot of customers in her store so she can't just leave it alone. Hence I have a lot to understand.”

“You are yes, always defending Shireen,” said bu Nana upset.

‘I can't let mother's plans. Mother should be aware that what she is doing is wrong, the inner’ of Afika in heart.

“But he has promised mom that he will come home quickly,” said bu Nana upset.

“Although Shireen has promised to go home quickly, but there could be a job that requires him to go home late even though he does not want to.” She tries to make her mother feel calmer.

“If this is allowed to continue, mother does not stay silent. Mother will tell Afgan to forbid his wife to work again.”

“Why Mom forbid Afgan.”

“Let his wife at home and do all the homework.”

“If Afika's suggestion, Mom. Whether it is better we are looking for a maid who can do homework,” said Afika provides a solution.

“You get paid how much more if you use a maid,” said bu Nana objected.

“Is not the monthly money that Afgan loves big and can be made to pay a maid. Because Afika herself can not be expected too much Mom. That's why we're looking for ma'am's maid. Later if Afika already payday will help Afika to pay maid salary.”

“Indeed you when to start working. From last month you said it would work but until now you have not worked as well.”

“Iya Ma'am. Afika's application has been accepted by the company and the plan is next week Afika has started working. So according to Afika, we use a maid yes ma'am so that Mother does not bother thinking about homework. Shireen was not too tired either. Kan pity also saw him coming home from work having to do homework again,” explained Afika.

“Enak times is he if using a maid. Home work directly shower like aja princess.”

“But he's working ma'am. Unless he's unemployed and lets Mom do all the housework. While he is already working and he is doing homework too.”

Hearing her daughter's explanation, Bu Nana immediately looked at Afika's face deeply.

“Mother is surprised to see you now. Why are you defending Shireen so much now, didn't you hate her so much.”

“Every human being can change Mom. At first Afika had hated Shireen, but after seeing her behavior so good, diligent and never denied Mother's words, she said, long ago Afika realized that what Afika did all this time was wrong. Afika regrets hating her Bu.”

“You are the holy pretentious Afika..” said bu Nana in an angry tone.

“Sorry Mom, that doesn't mean you're a laundry snob.

But that's what Afika saw in Shireen.”

Bu Nana who heard the explanation of her daughter was upset. He then left Afika who was still sitting at the dining table.

As soon as Nana's mother left Afika's presence, Afika was silent to see her mother's departure.

In his heart he felt saddened by the behavior of his mother who had never changed until now.

Afika still remembers well when she was in High School.

At that time there were school friends who came to meet Afika and Nana knew that her friend Afika had a heavy crush on Afika because Afika had previously told her mother.

As soon as his friend Afika came and asked his father's background of work and it turns out that his father is only a seller of fried meatballs and his mother as a unifier. Since then, Afika has been banned by Nana from being close to the man.

From there Afika can judge if her mother sees someone from the treasure and position.

But when Afika introduced her ex-husband at the time, her mother was immediately happy to know that Afika's ex-husband was a businessman.

If you remember that Afika's heart is very sick and sad to see the nature of her mother who is not good. Afika has been trying to change the nature of her mother, but until now has not changed as well.
