story part 12

They then had breakfast together quietly.

After breakfast, as usual, diamond helped his mother to clean the dinner table and wash dirty dishes.

After all was done, Diamond then stayed in the living room while watching television.

In the living room, Diamond thought about the words of his mother who told him to stay at the house of the god grandmother in the village. But there are so many obstacles in the heart of diamonds that make him still hesitant to go to the village.

After an hour of thinking while fiddling with the tv remote but diamond never found the answer whether he had to go to the village or not.

Because they feel very worried because they are not ready to live in their grandmother's house and away from their parents. But in the end diamond decided to go to the house of his best friend widia to ask for advice from him.

Bidding farewell to his father and mother who were busy with their yard, the coach was sweeping the yard, while the hero mowed the grass and plants then watered it.

"well, mom, diamond wants to go to the widia's house first!"

Intan said goodbye to his parents who were cleaning the yard at the time.

"where are you going? it's still early in the morning, son!"

Haven't had time to hear diamond's answer, he had already run leaving his parents who were busy taking care of plants in their yard.

The hero and the coach stared at each other after seeing the diamond that looked very hasty to leave.

"where the hell early in the morning has been like people in pursuit of this child.

Ratih felt surprised but the hero did not think too much about it because the hero had guessed that diamond would go to the house of widia. Widia is his best friend who is closest to their home.

"had just been ma'am, most of all to her widia's house! where would you like to try if it wasn't Widia's?"

Bu ratih then proceeded to clean the courtyard, while pak hero watered the plants.

A few minutes later the diamond arrived at Widia's house. But when he got there, Widia was apparently not at home.

The condition of the house was quiet and the door closed neatly, to make the diamond turn around and return to his house.

Then upon arrival at home, Diamond again met his father and mother who was still in the yard of the house.

"assalamualaikum, diamond home.

Mr. Ratih looked at the diamond who was walking in focus while looking at the ground, as if no matter who in front of him might be hit by it.

"how quickly behind it?

Mr. Ratih asked the diamond and then the diamond turned towards his mother.

" widia is not at home mom, the house is quiet no one. Though diamond wants to ask for advice with him, widia where did you go in the morning already lost from home?"

Pak hero then stopped his activity of watering plants and then approached diamonds.

"want to ask for advice, dear? Tell me, who knows you can help!"

They sit in the yard of the house that has been cleaned by the coach, and now looks very clean and neat.

"same mom dad wants diamond to live in the village right? Wouldn't you miss the diamond if the diamond was far from the same father's mother? what should be there? Did mom and dad deliberately want to make diamonds go and want to come for diamonds? Don't want no competition.

Mr. Ratih and the hero laughed at the words of diamond.

"intan darling! if you and mom miss you, do we just come to go home to Grandma's house. Why should you bother? In the village you can enjoy the beauty of nature and you can also learn independently with your grandmother and uncle there, no other purpose dear!".

Intan fell silent and asked back to bu ratih and pak hero.

"but if later Rian suddenly come to the house cariin diamond how dong?

Pak hero took a long breath.

"so the problem is still about rian? I'm horrified, diamond! The man is not just a rian, there are still many other men who are better than Rian. Father never forbid diamonds to be close to anyone as long as it is still in a natural and not excessive way. You think in Grandma's village there are no good looking, nice guys there? There are many rich kids too. I'm sure, diamond can certainly escape if it's there.

Pak hero explained at length to diamond so that diamond stops continuing to hope to rian. And in the end diamond agreed to stay in the village.
