"What if they go after Rahma because Rahma reported them to the police?" ask Arini's mother worriedly.
"Auntie doesn't have to worry. I will take care of Rahma," said Rendi.
"As long as the two criminals have not been caught I will always accompany Rahma wherever Rahma goes" continued Rendi.
"Did Rendi not work?" ask Arini's mother.
"I work, Auntie. It's just that my flexible work can be done anywhere, " replied Rendi.
"Rendi has been used to follow Rahma anywhere," said Claudia's mother. Arini's mother turned to Claudia's mother.
" Oh, huh?" ask Arini's mother not to believe.
"Rendi often joined Rahma outside service, " replied Claudia's mother.
Rahma's parents and older brother turned to Rahma as if asking what Claudia's mother was saying.
"Mama also likes to follow Rahma out of town, " said Rendi.
"Claudia's mother is coming too?" ask Arini's mother in disbelief. People as rich as Claudia's mother wanted to join Rahma's outside service to the villages.
"yes, Arini's mom. Excited loh, Mom. We can see what we've never seen before, " said Claudia's mother.
Arini's mother turned to Rahma.
"Tok Mama wasn't invited?" Ibu Arini asked in an envious tone.

"Pak Ferdi, did Mr Ferdi book a hotel?" ask Mr. Sultan.
"No, Sir. We were looking for a hotel close to Mr. Sultan's house, " replied Mr. Ferdi.
"What if Mr. Ferdi and his family stay at our house?" ask Mr. Sultan.
"In our house there are still empty rooms" continued Mr. Sultan.
"We have trouble for Mr. Sultan and his family" said Mr. Ferdi.
Mr. Ferdi turned to Arini's mother.
"How, Ma?" ask Mr. Ferdi to Ms. Arini.
"By Papa, " replied Ms. Arini.
Mr. Ferdi again faced Mr. Ferdi.
"Alright, we accept Mr. Sultan's offer, " replied Mr. Ferdi.
"Alhamdullilah, " said Claudia's mother.

In the afternoon after resting Mr. Ferdi and the family headed to the boarding place Rahma. Rendi went to Rahma's boarding house. They want Rahma to move out today. They are afraid that anything will happen to Rahma. Moreover, the suspect is still wandering around out there. For a while Rahma stayed at the house of Pak Sultan.

"Who are the people?" ask Sumarni's mother.
"Mothers are afraid to befall other children, "said Ibu Sumarni in confusion.
"I don't know who did it either.But there are witnesses who know who did it, " replied Rahma.
"Hopefully the perpetrator was quickly caught so that other children did not become victims" said Sumarni's mother.
"Aamiin, " said Rahma.
After all Rahma's belongings were brought, they said goodbye to Sumarni's mother.

"Together, Mom. We are happy that Mr. Ferdi, Ms. Arini and Rashid would like to stay here" Claudia's mother replied
"I'm sorry, we're so troublesome Mr. Sultan, Mrs Claudia and Rendi by leaving Rahma here, " said Ms. Arini.
Mr. Ferdi and Ms. Arini decided to leave Rahma at Pak Sultan's house because they were confused to find a safe place for Rahma. Previously they planned to take Rahma home to Kuningan for a while. However, Rahma could not leave because there was a BPK examination.
"It's okay, Mom. I'm happy that Rahma is here, so I can feel the feeling of having a daughter" Claudia's mother said.
After finishing their farewell they went back to Kuningan. But before they left for Kuningan they drove Rahma to his office.

"Be careful and take good care of yourself!" mother Arini's Message.
"Yes, Ma, " replied Rahma.
