"Ma, the book." Adam took five new books from his mother's hand. Then the mother handed the jar of mango candy and colored pencils to the sister.
"Sorry, yes, dear. Mama's got to pick those books out for a little while." Febi kissed the cheeks of her son and twin daughter alternately.
"Let's hurry Mah, there's Grandpa!" Mia tried to pull the skirt of the Mama with passion.
Febi stroked the curly shoots of Mia's hair. Her twins are curly-haired, only Mia is shoulder-length, very pretty.
“Kak Feb, great afternoon home!” The stepbrother immediately approached the owner of the house.
Febi hugged alternately to her step-sister, father, then stepmother. “You've been a long time?”
“It's been an hour, Brother. I gave Adam a good book." Kikan embraces Febi's waist.
“Thank you, my dear sister."
Febi saw her five-year-old son tearing up the cover of a book and sniffing the scent of a new book. He sure smells good.
“What is Michael overtime, it's five o'clock, still not home?” Ask Martha.
"Yes, maybe Mike's overtime, Ma." Febi turned to look at the papah and then stopped sitting. “Dad let me phone, Mike ya!” Febi then moved away.
Febi tried repeatedly to contact, but in vain. He's coming to the dining table. “Dad, Mike is busy. I called his secretary, Mike is meeting.” Febi was guilty of lying about her husband not coming home.
“Oh .... " Adi felt Febi was covering something up. He's shaking his shoulder. "Yes, how else do your husband's people get busy?”
“It's Sunday night, we can stay here, right, my daughter?” Martha gives side dishes to husband's plate.
“Ya, why not?” Febi felt even more depressed because of her family's visit.
“Cabin, Darling. Do you have a problem? I see you daydream a lot." Martha asked impatiently. "Your eyes are also damp and your tumbens go without makeup?”
“Already, you worry too much about it. She's in front of you, huh?” Adi shook his head and continued eating.
“Well, mother's feelings are never wrong? Yeah, even though I wasn't the one who gave birth to her.” Martha looked down with a gloomy face. “It seems, you doubt my instincts?”
“Sorry, sorry, My wife. You are the best mother in the world. Me and Febi are so lucky to have you and Kikan!"
They were also busy eating.

The night was getting late, but his daughter still had no signs of drowsiness. Febi stroked Mia's hair, occasionally wiping tears from her daughter's cheeks. “Already dong, later the beauty can be lost. Tell me so Chris Evan?”
“Oh, so, Mama's wrong?" Febi held back a laugh because of the patronizing tone of her daughter just now. At least, he managed to stop the boy's cry.
“Come sleep first. Tomorrow Mama buys Mango Thailand, yes?” Febi was overwhelmed because her husband did not come home. Just to say good-bye to the twins.
“But, it wants papa who boughtin!” mia said with deep disappointment because papa had not answered the phone since morning.
"Adek .. " call Adam who has difficulty itching to hear his twin. He felt something was hidden from his mother. Last night Adam was looking for papa. As he was at the end of the stairs, Adam saw two men scuttle him. So, where'd papa go since last night?
Adam got up from the bed and moved to Mia's bed.. “Already dong Dek, do not make mama so sad,” said Adam with a hoarse voice.
Crings .....
Mia and Adam wake up when they hear the phone call. Febi got out of bed. The woman sighed in disappointment as she looked at the phone screen, then turned to the twins while shaking her head. "Not papa ...."
The twins face was immediately gloomy and they immediately slept tilted back at Febi.

Febyan Ananta Bagaskara is a lecturer at Montessori Aurora Preschool. That afternoon, he walked out of the teacher's office and started running.
In the infirmary, the teachers crowded amidst the hysterical cries of her son. Dai passes through the crowd and gets Adam being held by the school doctor as Adam continues to hold his head and appears to be in great pain. Adam was not taken to the hospital for a long time.
When the sky was golden yellow on the western horizon, Febi aimed a red car at the courtyard of the small house.
He was about to pick up his daughter who was just left at the house of Oki-who was a dance teacher. However, his daughter is known to have just fallen asleep, so it is too risky if carried will definitely wake up immediately.
Oki watched Febi while putting on a cup of green tea that was still steaming and smelled very fragrant. He sat down beside Febi, staring softly at the gloomy face of his best friend. He felt confused, so taken tea and thrust forward Febi. "Come, have a drink to be relieved."
"Thank you" he said languidly. Febi blew the tea. Her sense of smell was gone because her nose was swollen. It feels like you want to sleep because you are not strong to face endless trials.
The heat stung his numb lips and burned his tongue. Febi stuck out a heated tongue and waited for a while with the mind drifting into the hospital. Slowly Febi went back to sipping tea and the warmth of touching her throat was so dry, she had not been drinking from morning.
"What's the pain of Adam?" Oki asked as Febi put the cup on the table with a sad face.
Febi held onto a chest that was suddenly sore. Two corners of his lips curved downwards. "Possibly Adam was sick ....."
Instead of immediately answering the name of the disease suffered by Adam, which came out precisely the sound of Febi's nose that repeatedly sucked snot. The clear liquid that escaped to the swollen lips. Febi's back went down as if it was holding a huge weight.
Oki Allah became so curious that he also suffered from asphyxiation due to the breath of his friend who was heavy like asthma. He stroked Febi's back which felt hot. What is so heavy is simply saying disease ... Or is Adam's life under threat ?
"What's the pain of Adam?" tanya Oki was getting anxious.
