“Alhamdulillaaaaaaaaah,” Wulan says a thousand thanks. All the files he's finished getting from his High School. Now she doesn't have to worry about getting caught pregnant. At most she will be ridiculed for being pregnant out of wedlock and not married. It's not a big deal to him. The most important thing is that she has a High School Certificate and this pregnancy is not because she did anything bad. A big problem for him has been raised. He's very grateful.
It's Thursday now. Wulan thinks it's her responsibility to go to university tomorrow. He's going to university on Monday. Now he's refreshing first. He wants hot meatballs to get hot because it's not burdened with school problems anymore. He's headed for the market. There is a meatball and he likes the taste of the meatball.
“Wulan?” greet a man who had just come to the meatball stall.
“Eh kang Jali, buy meatballs too?” ask Wulan to a coworker when in the mini market.
“Iya Lan, I have my lunch shopping turn. You know ‘kan our habits first,” the man handed a piece of paper to the meatball seller. If he is based on memory, sometimes it is wrong. So he asked all the bookers to write his order so as not to be wrong.
“Inget is Kang,” replied Wulan while receiving a bowl of meatballs that he ordered earlier.
“I go to the padang food stall first ya Lan, buy another friend's order,” Jali rush to leave the meatball stall to buy rice order, while the meatball order is made by the seller.
“You have passed Lan?” jali asked when she had returned from the field food stall.
“Already Kang, this has just taken the hijasah and all files that have been legalized,” replied Wulan while drinking her warm tea.
“You continue college or work again?” ask Jali. Jali knew from a long time ago that Wulan wanted to continue college.
“Alhamdulillah already got a scholarship at two Kang universities, insya Allah want to continue college,” Wulan pay the meatballs he ate along with Jali's order has also been completed.
“Main to the outlet yok Lan, friends miss you,” Jali invites Wulan to play to the mini market where she used to work.
“Ayok Kang, just a moment that is important can gather. If in time not good with other home employees,” Wulan also agreed to Jali's invitation to meet with her old friends. He also misses the cheerful atmosphere of ABG children, the atmosphere he did not find in a different home. Because the young employee of the parlor is only him.

Laura had just finished lunch when Syahrul came to her boutique. He didn't think Syahrul was coming fast. “Have eaten?”
“Not yet, I think you want to eat out,” Syahrul sitting in Laura's sweetly arranged workspace.
“Eat this to?” Laura opened the black pepper chicken rice she bought. He did buy 3 portions for himself, Syahrul and Nazwa later. He also bought extra beef chicken without rice.
“Neither,” Syahrul then wash his hands in the sink. And Laura came out to ask her employees to buy her some fruit ice across the street.
“This is if the side dish is less,” Laura open a hens for Syahrul. And the man ate very well.
“What do you want?” Syahrul asks what Nazwa meant by contacting Laura.
“He chatted last night, but I read it late so I responded this morning. He has a job to make papers and wants to share before he makes them. That's why I asked him to come here, because if the matter can not be discussed by phone,” Laura replied while cleaning the sketch papers.
“Wak there are friends who want to meet, so he mbolos teraphy. And I'm excited to make a new product in the form of maternity clothes. So without patience want to directly execute,” Laura still answers all questions Syahrul. He knew the man didn't want to talk about his ex while eating because it must be a serious matter.
“You ready to get pregnant?” shahrul Goda.
“Of course ready if later I already have a husband,” unexpected answer Laura instead agree. Who is a woman who does not want to have children? There are! But it must be just a few people.
“Then we get married yok let you get pregnant soon,” Syahrul directly snatched the bait that Laura gave accidentally.
“Yeeeeeee, I ‘kan ”kan do not say want to marry soon,<TAG1> Laura kelit. He realized he had spoken wrongly.
Syahrul was washing his hands when an employee knocked on Laura's office door. After being told to enter the officer put two large glasses of avocado juice request Laura. “Others put the refrigerator first Na, later when Nazwa brother comes new you prepare yes?” pinta Laura's. He has prepared food and juice for Nazwa this afternoon.
“Now Brother story, last night he said to talk,” Laura sat on the sofa opposite Syahrul.
“When Brother met Rido at the Crown hotel, he told me the reason why Ida insisted on asking the children to come with him. Ida has been devastated. Her son died and her husband was disabled because he could not fertilize her again. That's why he needs Nazwa and Fahri,” Syahrul only gives the outline. She was sure Laura didn't want to know the reason for the incident.
“Trus mean Brother said worry ‘tu how? Brother pity ama ex and want to tell the children to come with him? If that's what you do, I won't know you forever!” Laura direct emotion.
He did not believe Syahrul would have pity because of the bad luck his ex had. As a fellow woman, of course Laura is also sympathetic to Ida's bad luck. But as a parent he will not allow his children to be hurt or suffer because they have to live with inner pressure with their biological mother.
Syahrul was stunned to see Laura's reaction as if injured. Syahrul sees Laura as a lioness who is angry that her cubs are disturbed. She knew Laura loved her children, but she did not expect the reaction. Syahrul got up from his seat and immediately grabbed the shoulders of the woman who was very angry. “Please don't get mad. I'm just worried, not decided. And Brother will not allow children to live with Ida. Just think the kids occasionally stay at Ida's house. That's it!”
Laura is still flinching. He did not want to hear any reason for Syahrul. Not that she was jealous of Ida or afraid that the children would turn away from her. But he does not want the children depressed because they do not want to meet Ida again let alone have to stay with Ida even though only stay for a while.
For Laura the psychic condition of children is number one.”Honey please excuse me Brother,” Syahrul whines because he saw Laura was very angry with him. The angry and injured face belonged to the girl he loved he had never seen before.
Syahrul unconsciously hugged Laura in his arms. He kissed the top of the girl's head. “Please sorry Brother yes. I won't tell the kids. Brother promise.”
