After the incident last night, this morning the Hendarmo family was very calm without Aini who was always regarded as looking for trouble and rioting by all the residents of the house. It can be seen from the dining room this morning, all eating their breakfast quietly and peacefully without any disturbance at all.
Likewise, Niar is pleased that his son will soon be out of this house after he graduates. It won't be long, just let her play first and be happy with her short time because there will be a wonderful show she wants to do to Aini that always makes her sick. Just like his mother used to always get the attention of Hendarmo.
Now her son, after his mother was gone almost 7 years ago Aini actually remains the legal son of Hendarmo. Unlike the two children. He was tired of always having to pretend, let alone live in a playfulness in front of Hendarmo. He was already lazy to live like that, let alone pretend to be good in front of Hendarmo.
He wanted to master everything in Hendarmo's life, let alone treasure. In the past, he also approached Hendarmo because he wanted his property, unfortunately he forgot that the heart could reverse what did not happen and what happened was not necessarily the same as desired because he used his feelings at that time, but unfortunately Hendarmo's father, Mr. Indrawan never agreed to their relationship until Hendarmo's father and mother died. So, it has to retreat slowly.
Likewise with his father, who has always used everything for him. Fortunately, the old man was dead, so inwardly whispered. However, the old woman who became her mother is still alive, even though she is sickly. And he was fed up with all the poverty he had, for living with his poor mother after being separated from his father since he was a child.
Unlike the life of his father, who was still in a state of wealth, even though he had gone bankrupt due to being kicked out by his family when he married for the second time. Even so, life goes on. That's what he's been living for. A life full of pressure and compulsion, but after his father died he was able to live a little calmly.

Aini, who was just staying in the room, had already woken up from earlier, but she wouldn't leave the room. He wanted to act this once, not necessarily to be bullied and just shut up to make everyone always arbitrary to him even more upset. And he will never be silent again, this once.
He is indeed inexperienced in acting rashly or so far, but definitely he will do something about it.
His father, who had always put them first, and made them his priority. So, what did he prioritize his father for. Just let him live with his world and what will happen in the future.
Aini walked down the stairs, seeing if the atmosphere in the living room and dining room still had people or had all gone. He wanted to find trouble this morning, they thought Aini could not do anything, huh? Just wait and see.
"Good morning!" he greeted everyone in the kitchen. It just so happened that the only ones in the dining room were Niar and his papa.
"Morning, Non," greeted back the aunt who used to serve Aini just nodded with a smile in response.
"What do you want to have breakfast, Non? You can make it later," he offered to Aini.
"Don't bother, aunt. Just fried rice. I'm in the mood," he replied, sitting down.
Niar suddenly snorted dislike, it was time for him to find face in front of Hendarmo. "You can't cook it yourself, right, Ni? Usually, Zaline even prefers to cook it herself instead of cooking mami. If you want to let Mami cook, right," he said deliberately in a friendly manner.
Aini who saw it just snorted. "You don't have to. Bibik's cooking is better than yours," she replied indifferently.
Niar and Hendarmo, who had seen Aini, suddenly fell silent in shock. Niar never expected that Aini would actually answer his lip service because he had been just silent, while Hendarmo, who had regained consciousness from his shock, tried to speak to Aini with great emphasis.
"You can be polite, right? After all, Niar is papa's wife. If you can't call her mami, at least you can call her aunt, Aini!" she said.
Aini, who heard just nodded in understanding, in contrast to Niar who started trying to act again. "It's okay, Mas, maybe it's because he is not close to me. That's okay. From now on, I will get close to him," Niar said softly, stroking her husband's arm.
Hendarmo turned his head and nodded in agreement.
"yes, Mam, it's just that she's used to being polite. Later, if left unattended, he didn't know manners, like–" Not finished Hendarmo spoke, Aini immediately interrupted his remarks, "My mother," he said shortly.
Hendarmo, who wanted to refute, was immediately diverted by Aini. "Bik, if the rice is finished, just eat it. I'm going to eat out. Thank you," he said as he passed.
"Aini, Aini! Where are you going?" snapped Hendarmo, but he lazily responded to his father and passed.
"Aini, don't be brazen, you!" Hendarmo chases after her daughter, but Niar holds her husband's arm.
"I have, Mas, let it go first. Later he will also come home, you can have a good talk to him," she said softly.
Aini passed and went nowhere to go today. For sure, he would rather not be home for the moment, even tonight.
