After three hours drive Danu's car arrived at Anna's grandmother's house on the side of the highway.
Anna invites her adoptive parents to stop by Grandma's house.
Ira, Lusi, Arkan and Grandma were waiting for Anna to arrive at the house.
Ira had told her family that Anna was coming home with the owner of the foundation. Anna is driven home because they have a palm oil plantation that is in line with Anna's house.
Everyone shook hands as Anna and her two Lift parents got out of the car.
Ira invites Anna's parents to come in to Grandma's house.
Ira was happy to see the appearance of Anna who was already wearing a hijab. Anna looks more beautiful.There is a desire Ira to try to use the hijab when out of the house. Ira wants to support Anna's change.
Sitting in the living room, Ira served them warm tea. Abi begins the conversation by introducing himself, Umm Salma and the driver who drove them.
Subsequently Abi asked Anna to introduce her family who were present at the time.after Anna introduced all her family present Abi continued his remarks.
"We came to this house not only to drive Anna. we want to tell that we have considered Anna as our foster child. we know Anna is an orphan, for that we ask Anna's family to give us permission to finance Anna's school until graduation" Abi said in a polite tone so that Anna's mother and grandmother were not offended.
"Alhamdulillah." said Mother and Grandma together.
"we are very grateful sir, you are willing to bear the cost of Anna's education." replied Grandma.
Abi and Ummi are relieved by the answer given by Grandma and Anna's mother.
Lusi felt that he had a fresh breeze, because Anna did not need the cost of education anymore from home.
"We also bring our hands, please accept." Ummi.
"We have been very grateful that Mr and Ummi drove Anna, funded Anna's education, it turns out that the same Father Ummi still brought souvenirs, hopefully what the Father and Ummi gave to Allah in return." replied Anna's mother who secured all her family.
Abi codes Danu to take down all the items they buy.
Arkan began to fuss, Lusi was forced to pay his respects to bring Arkan play out of the house. While accompanying Arkan main, Lusi noticed the items that Danu took down from Abi's car.
Ira, Grandma and Anna are moved to see the many items given by Anna's adoptive parents.In their hearts they pray for Abi and Ummi's kindness.
Hape Anna reads. Anna saw Adnan who called. Anna had not had time to raise the tone of the call was over.
"Who called Anna?" ask mother.
"Sir Adnan." replied Anna.
"Anna's classmate?" ask Mother.
"No ma'am, Adnan's sister Anna's classmate.he's in third grade of High School. Brother Adnan is good ma'am, always treat Anna." replied Anna with a happy face.
Seeing the look on Anna's face, Ira believes that the man Anna is telling her has a close relationship with. It's easy for Ira to figure out Anna and Adnan's relationship. but Ira held back because they weren't both. Ira smiled at Anna's story.
Anna continued her words.
"Sir Adnan is the son of Ummi and Abi" Anna said, looking at her adoptive parents.
Ira was shocked by the additional answer Anna gave.
Ira felt there was a certain intent from Anna's adoptive parents. Ira looked at Grandma. Grandma understood the meaning of that gaze.
Ummi tries to straighten out Anna's words and hopes Ira and Grandma can accept Adnan.
"Yes Adnan was our only child. At first we did not know that our son knew Anna. on Sunday we visited the dormitory to meet the boarder. from the boarder we knew Anna and we immediately raised Anna to be an adopted child. on Thursday Anna was treated at the clinic for breakfast late where we just found out they knew each other." replied Ummi with a little drama.
"Anna you got treated?" ask grandma.
"Yes, but only for a moment, Grandma" replied Anna.
"Why don't you tell me?" ask Ira.
"Anna does not want the mother and family here worried, Anna escorted Adnan to the clinic. During Kak Adnan's treatment, Ummi and Abi took care of Anna. Anna was grateful to have an excellent adoptive family." replied Anna praising her adoptive family.
Anna smiles at Ummi as if Anna is thanking him for helping her to introduce Adnan to her family.
"Thank you Mr and Ummi for taking care of Anna" Ira said with tears in her eyes.
"What if you and Ummi sleep in our house" said the grandmother offering.
Ummi and Abi who had planned to stay at the house Anna felt grateful to get an offer from who had a house.
"We will always look after and love Anna. Our children also love Anna, they are like sister and for the offer to stay we say thank you, we are willing to stay here." replied Ummi.
Ira and Grandma smiled at Ummi's reply.
"Astagfirullah is four o'clock past Ummi, we have not prayed" said Abi shocked.
"Ah yes, maybe the mosque officer is there work outside the village so not Azan" replied Grandma who also felt shocked because of the praying maggots.
Grandma never left her prayer.Different from grandfather, Uncle, Lusi and Mother Anna, they prayed when reminded and depending on the mood.
Looking at Anna's adoptive parents who want to pray. Grandma immediately looked for the prayer rug and spread it towards the qibla. Ira was embarrassed because it was very rare to pray. Anna invites Mom to go to the bathroom to take ablution alternating with Ummi and Abi. Grandma also took ablution.
Abi became a congregational prayer priest at Grandma's house.
After finishing the prayer Anna invited Abi and Ummi to see her house. Ira does not accompany because Ira has to prepare dinner for all of them. They go using a car driven by Danu.
***
"Mom something seems to have changed from Anna. Anna is wearing clothes Ira did not buy, Anna's clothes look new and expensive. The Hape that Anna used was also not the Hape that we bought, but Anna was only two weeks in town" Ira said as the two cooked in the kitchen for a beautiful dinner.
"Mother also judged like that, do you still remember how much money you put in Anna's savings? how about we borrow the ATM card, we check. I'm afraid Anna's been spending all her money on child-style stuff in town" Grandma replied.
"That time Ira was One Million Five hundred thousand buk, if Anna spent all that money, what should Ira do buk?" Ira asked, worried about not being able to meet Anna's lifestyle in the city.
Grandma let out a long sigh.The one million five hundred dollars for two weeks was not an easy thing they were looking for. even though Anna's tuition has been borne by the owners of their foundation, it will still be difficult to find money if Anna demands that much shopping in two weeks.
"We should make sure first" said grandma did not want to get dizzy.
***
When we got to Anna's house. Anna invites Ummi and Abi to enter her house. Ummi follows Anna, Abi chooses to be outside the house with Danu.
Abi called Adnan.
"Assalamualaikum, have you reached Anna Abi's house?" ask Adnan.
Adnan immediately turned off Abi's call. Adnan contacted Abi again using Videocall.
"Dare to turn off the phone from Abi! want to feel Abi's fist?" said Abi put on his fierce face.
"Sorry Abi, Adnan forgot to tell me to call Videocall" Adnan replied feeling guilty.
"Why did you call Anna?" ask Abi.
"Adnan hasn't called Anna yet" Adnan replied.
"try checking your out call" Abi replied not to be blamed.
Adnan checked his outbound call.
it was clear Adnan was making an outgoing call to Anna.
"Bang Doni!" adnan said calling Doni in a high tone.
Doni who was finished in the bathroom immediately came out to hear Adnan say his name.
"Why did you call Anna?" adnan asked annoyed and looked angry.
"That was accidentally squashed." replied Doni.
Now Abi understands, it was appropriate that Hp Anna only sounded for a moment.
"You know the result of Doni's mother Anna looked at Abi and Ummi with a look full of probing. It seems they do not like you approaching Anna" Abi said scaring Adnan.
"Please Abi condition first, for them to like Adnan.this is all because of the Doni bang.Where Adnan was once just miskol" Adnan replied feeling afraid.
"Are they Abi's employees?" abi's answer is not to support Adnan.
"Yes, Adnan will follow Abi. please Abi share the location of Anna's house" replied Adnan with a serious face.
"It's already want magrib, you're in Doni's place" Abi said and turned off their Videocall.replying Adnan's actions that turned off his call.
"Bang Doni tomorrow do not borrow Hp Adnan again.be careful if you hold Hp Adnan" said Adnan berated Doni.
Doni could only silently accept Adnan's anger.
Adnan's face looked irritated, as Doni messed up his plan. Adnan was afraid that Anna would stay away from him because her family did not support her and liked her. Abi also did not want to give Anna's address.It made Adnan frustrated and could only resist his frustration.
Doni who already knew Adnan's personality was forced out of his boarding room. Doni buy cold drinks.Just by giving Adnan a cold drink then the anger Adnan will subside.This trick always works they do if Adnan is angry with Doni and Didi.
Doni returns to his room and offers Adnan a cold drink.
Adnan smiled and took the drink.
"Please, tomorrow you will find Anna's address" Doni told Adnan.
Adnan's face brightened again and drank the drink that Doni bought.
"No need to bang, Abi just provoked Adnan's emotions. Sorry yes Adnan was scolding brother." replied Adnan.
They both smiled because they forgave each other.

Anna and her adoptive parents returned to Grandma's house before the prayers of the magrib were proclaimed. Grandpa and Uncle Anna were already at home.they prayed magrib congregation, after the magrib prayer continued with dinner together.
After dinner together, everyone gathered in the grandmother's room, sitting down while watching TV. Ira approached Anna and whispered.
"Anna you got an ATM card?" ask Ira.
Hearing her mother whisper Anna nodded.
"We go to the district yok, I want to buy souvenirs for Abi and Ummi." invite Ira
"Look Ma'am." replied Anna excitedly because it was unpleasant to only receive kindness from Abi and her Ummi.
Ira said goodbye to both her parents and Anna's adoptive parents to go to the sub-district.they went using a car driven by Ibrahim. Abraham took his wife and son away.
"How far is the subdistrict from this village sir?" ask Abi to Grandpa Anna who looks the same age.
"If using a vehicle about 20 minutes drive" replied Grandpa.
"Mr still working?" ask Ummi.
"Yes, I still work as a security guard at PT.Palm Lestari." replied grandfather.
Ummi and Abi look at each other, it turns out Annan's grandfather was one of their employees.
"How long have you been working at PT?" ask Abi.
"It's 18 years, sir, it's also two years away from retiring" Grandpa replied.
"If Retirement is good sir, stay enjoy the old days.we only have one child who is still 18 years old.if in terms of age we actually also want to enjoy old age. not going back and forth to take care of the business again, but everything we do not regret, we have to direct our son so that he can be independent and continue the business that we have pioneered." replied Ummi telling his life.
"How old is Ummi?" ask grandma.
"We are both 57 years old" replied Ummi.
"It turns out that we are much different ages, I am 50 years old, if my husband is 53 years old, but we look older than Ummi." replied the grandmother with a laugh.
"Don't say old, I see the power is still strong" replied Ummi laughing.
Abi and grandfather laughed, seeing their wife's happiness as meeting old friends.
It was 22:00 Anna and the group had not returned from the sub-district. Abi and Ummi who used to sleep fast could not wait for their return. Grandma offers Abi and Ummi to sleep in Ira's room. Abi refused, Abi chose to sleep in the living room with Danu. while Ummi slept in Ira's room.
Grandpa slept in the guest room. Grandpa told Grandma to sleep in the room with Ira if they came back. Anna slept with Ummi in Ira's room. Grandma approved grandfather's idea. Abi and Danu sleep on thin mattresses made of cotton. Abi slept well.
