Part 5.
I went to the toilet in the room. Then clean the face and body that is already hot. The splash of water from the shower faucet feels cool, relaxing a tired body all day long outside the home. For a moment I forgot about the incident earlier, which made me curious half to death.
Fifteen minutes later, I finished cleaning, then came out of the toilet wearing a kimono towel. I was just about to get dressed, my phone vibrated again, there was an incoming notification sending a message.
I was so confused about opening the message. There are sending heart emoji, hug emoji, and loving eyes emoji. Ignore it, if you're being served by this foreign guy, I thought.
After taking a shower, I immediately lay down on the soft bed. The body feels light, and the eyes begin to sleep. After placing the cellphone on the dressing table, I immediately closed my eyes, hoping that after waking up from sleep, my curiosity had been answered.
I was asleep for almost an hour, awakened by a knock from outside the door. Mother's voice called my name.
"Zara... what are you doing, sleeping huh?" Mother asked while knocking on the bedroom door.
"Yes, Bund, wait a minute!" I answered, while
stretch stiff body muscles.
Greek ... I opened the door while yawning, "home," then covered my mouth with my palm.
"Ugh, gross! Girls yawn really big!" he protested.
"Hii ... him, still sleepy, Bund," I said.
Mother sat on the edge of the bed, looking around the room. His eyes fell on the bouquet of flowers lying on the table.
"Za, you already know who the sender was?" Mother asked, reading the small paper tucked into the bouquet.
"I don't know, Bund! What is clear is that the man managed to find out our telephone number and home address!" I said.
"Hmm, who do you think it is?" mother
muttered to himself.
"Just be careful! Maybe the man is monitoring your movements! As long as it's not dangerous, don't be afraid!" he said.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to say that your Papa will be home this afternoon! Maybe he'll be home soon."
"See, you're not upset anymore," I teased.
"Well-ah, Mother wants to take a shower first," he interrupted as he opened the door and left the room.
Just remembered that I haven't prayed Asr yet. When he saw the round object on the wall of the room, it was almost five in the afternoon. I hurriedly went to the toilet, to pee, then took water from the wudu.
Fifteen minutes later, I came out of the toilet. Tiina ... thing ... from downstairs came the sound of car horns, I peeked through the window curtains for fun. It turned out that Mother's words were true, Papa's car was already in front of the fence. He was waiting for Pak German to open the fence.
I quickly took the mukena behind the door, then put it on and began to perform the obligatory prayers of four raka'at. As soon as the prayer was finished, the door to the room was knocked again. This time I heard Mbok Nah's voice calling my name.
tokk... tokk ...
"Non-Za! Papa called, you were told to go downstairs, okay!" his orders.
"Yes, Mbok! Wait a minute, Za will come down later!"
After hanging the mukena in place earlier, I trimmed my slightly messy hair. Then I grabbed the phone that was lying on the bed. As soon as the cellphone screen is wiped, it looks like there is a message from the green application.
"Hey, what are you doing? Don't forget to take a shower and pray, yes!" wrote the message.
Hm, I was silent, and immediately looked at the sender's number. Still with the same number. I just read it, I have no intention of replying to the message.

As I descended downstairs, I heard a car honk outside the fence. Looks like it's Bang Rey's car who just got home from work. The house, which was once quiet, is now bustling again after its occupants return from their activities.
Brother Rey and Sis Mona were entrusted by Papa to hold another branch of the company. But still, Opa Angkasa is the company's chief commissioner. Brother Rey is the manager, while Sis Mona is the head of the accounting department.
Even though they both still don't have enough work experience, Opa Angkasa and Papa Harry always teach monitor and equip them with the knowledge my parents have.
After Brother Rey graduated from college in America, three years ago. He was immediately given full responsibility for managing a company engaged in the property sector. And Sis Mona while compiling the thesis took part in the company.
According to Papa Harry, they were deliberately given important positions in the company, if there are family members and even their own children, why should they be given these positions to other people. That's the answer from Opa and Papa when I asked.
This daydream was broken when Sis Mona touched my shoulder. "Ahh, it's been a daydream in the afternoon!" he said.
******
"Wow, Papa just got home, huh?" asked Brother Rey.
"Yeah, well, sooner than expected, usually more than three days," I replied.
"Edith, it's good that your Papa arrived home safely, this is even rumored!" Mother scolded.
"Oh-yes, Alhamdulillah, Pa! So you're not
I have a fever and I'm not upset anymore," said Sis Mona.
"Is that so Bund?" asked Papa in surprise.
"Yes, that's right, it's a lie, Pa!" I said
"Mom doesn't worry too much, Papa will be fine while out of town!" My Papa explained while looking affectionately at Mother.
"Eh, it's fun to vent, Papa brings gifts here!" he said.
Papa took out a large package from his briefcase. After opening there is
many typical snacks from the city in came yesterday.
I, Brother Rey, and Sis Mona scrambled to get snacks from the guest table. scattered above
"All these snacks are delicious! You don't have to fight like that!" remember Papa.
"Scrambling each other is delicious, Pa! Moderate taste discount hunting!" I joked.
"It's just you, Za," said Papa.
We opened one by one the snacks that were already in each other's hands. Not long after Mother went into the kitchen, she ordered Mbok Well to immediately make warm tea for Papa. As for us, cold drinks were brought in bottles of mineral water.
"Mbok, don't forget to prepare a dinner menu for us, okay?" Mother ordered.
"Okay ma'am!" he said as he walked into the kitchen.
