"They're in his room, son," replied Abi Hamdan. "But if about you sleeping with Opa and Omaamu ... Opa doesn't know."
"But where's Daddy's room? Does Opa know?" ask Robert back.
"Tau, it's in front of Opa and Ohamu's room" Abi Hamdan said. "Udah .. Now we take ablution first, yes?"
"Yes, Opa." Robert nodded, they headed for the water faucet.

"Hello, Mi, is Mami awake?" ask Joe who is on Mami Yeri's phone.
"Mommy just woke up" replied Mami Yeri, then asked, "What's up, Joe?"
"Robert what else, Mi? Is he still sleeping?"
Mami Yeri immediately turned to the side, and suddenly she was wide-eyed because she did not see her granddaughter. But his shock suddenly faded because there was no presence of Papi Paul as well. He guessed, if his granddaughter must be with him.
"Robert's up like he is, but it's your opinion. Because when Mami woke up .. they both did not exist."
"Oh that. Eemm .. Can I leave Robert to Mami again? But all day."
"Everyday?" Mami Yeri's forehead looked flinched. Wonderful to hear the child's request.
"Yes. Can you, Mi?" pinta Joe with a voice that sounded so soft. "I want to spend my day with Syifa alone in the room. Later tonight or tomorrow morning .. I just came back and took Robert."
"Lho, was last night still lacking, Joe? Did you spend the wedding night?"
"Yes, last night was a success. But I'm still lacking, Mi. Yes, yes, I have Robert. He doesn't go to school today."
"Can aja. But don't you have any pity, same Syifa, Joe?"
"Pity why?"
"Your wife is pregnant again. The time you shake continues. Tired of her, worried about Mami as well as her fetus."
"Mommy take it easy, I play it safe and slow. Grandson Mami will not do anything," said Joe confidently.
"But just today, yeah, Joe. Tomorrow you and Syifa go home and have a holiday with her. Pause for a break. Poor thing."
"Yes. Thank you, Mi. But Mami don't tell Robert about this. Just find another reason. Yes, yes, assalamualaikum."
"Yes." Yeah." Mami Yeri turned off her phone, then got out of bed and headed for the bathroom.

After praying, bathing and changing clothes, 7-year-old—bocah is now right in front of Joe and Syifa's room. But he was not alone, but with Abi Hamdan.
The man also took a shower and changed his clothes. Sandi had come to bring a change of clothes for him, Robert, Umi Maryam, Papi Paul and Mami Yeri.
Robert looked up at the door. Wanted to squeeze the bell, but he couldn't reach it. Finally, he wanted to knock on the door.
"Daddy! Mommy!" robert shouted with a raised hand, but he had not managed to knock on the door—Mami Yeri who suddenly came directly held his hand.
"Don't knock, honey," forbid which made Robert turn his head.
"Why, Oma?" tanyanya.
"Just leave your Daddy and your mom alone in the room. Mending us to the restaurant .. eat, yuk, this is also noon," invited Mami Yeri who immediately carried the grandchild.
"But Robert wanted to eat with Mommy, Oma. Wanted to be fed," whined Robert with his moving legs, his eyeballs also seemed to be glazed over.
"Udah just call her Shifa, Ma'am, anyways .. The two of them were together all night" suggested Abi Hamdan. He felt unbearable to his grandson.
Papi Paul and Umi Maryam who had just come out of their respective rooms immediately stepped together to approach them.
"Mommy, Robert, Miss Maryam and Mr. Hamdan. There's a friend's restaurant nearby that just opened, he's offered a free meal" Papi Paul said.
"Well, you may, sir." Umi Maryam seemed enthusiastic to hear the word 'free' and her name in restaurant—for sure the food is delicious, that's what was terbesit in his brain.
"I'm sorry, sir, but I think that I and Uminya Syifa want to go back to our house" Abi Hamdan said.
"Why go home, Bi?" Umi Maryam looked at her husband with a disapproving face. "We haven't enjoyed staying in a hotel yet, time to go home?"
Let alone enjoy, they sleep on the bed just yet. But I want to go home to Abi Hamdanya.
The old man approached, then whispered into his wife's right ear. "It's not nice staying in a hotel, Mi. Mending at home. Plus Abi also mules, want to poop." While rubbing his stomach.
"Mules?" Umi Maryam's forehead looked cringing. "There's no crap in our room, Bi. Why the dizziness?" His voice is louder, so it can be heard by his iron.
"Mostly ... WC in the bathroom Mum and Mum stuck?" papi Paul looked at the iron.
"Not short, sir," replied Abi Hamdan, shaking his head. "Only, I don't usually sit. It won't come out."
"Oh. Is it WC at home sleeping when you poop?"
"But, no." Abi Hamdan chuckled. Feel funny. "Where there's pooping while sleeping. In my house squat, sir."
"Oh ...." Papi Paul chuckled. "Yes, come on and go home. I'll take you back."
"Ah is not necessary, sir. Thank you," rejected Abi Hamdan who felt bad. "Me and Uminya Syifa ride. We'll just get off the elevator, okay?"
"Oh yes already." Papi Paul nodded.
"Sepent .. I'm going to grab a suitcase first." Abi Hamdan stepped quickly towards his room, and the pouting-looking Umi Maryam followed him.
From the bottom of her heart, Umi Maryam still wants to be in a hotel. It's just to hold back her husband's request—she can't.

In a taxi car heading home, Abi Hamdan suddenly got a call from Pak Haji Samsul. Soon, he picked it up.
"Who, Bi?" asked Umi Maryam who was next to him.
"Sir Haji Samsul, Mi," replied Abi Hamdan looking at his wife, then said on a phone call. "Hello, sir, assalamualaikum."
"Greetings walaikum. Did Ustad know that Fahmi was in the hospital?" ask Mr. Haji Samsul. His voice sounded very loud.
"Tau, Sir. Why yes, what?"
"Cok ask why? Ustad there should be an initiative dong to jenguk. Fahmi was admitted to the hospital because of Ustad's son-in-law, "he suddenly got angry.
"Absuendo?!" Abi Hamdan's forehead looked cringing. "How come, Nak Fahmi is in the hospital because of Jojon, Pak Haji? What did he do to Nak Fahmi?"
"He locked it in the toilet. Fahmi collapsed and was eventually treated."
"Lho, but this morning Sandi said ... Nak Fahmi goes to the hospital because he eats too much, sir, why is it because of Jojon, anyway?" abi Hamdan asked confusedly.
"First because of that. But Jojon here is also wrong because with the strait he locked Fahmi. Ustad thought ... Jojon's deeds would be justified, did they?"
"Well, did Jojon lock Nak Fahmi in the toilet? Do you try the reason?" Abi Hamdan looked in disbelief.
"Where do I know, Tad," replied Mr. Haji Samsul upset. "But I'm sure .. It's all because Jojon hates Fahmi so much. What I want now .. the Jojon must take responsibility. And Ustad who as a father-in-law as well as a religious figure .. must really advise him, because the behavior of Ustad's son-in-law must be completely changed. He's not human."
