Salsa was kept quiet until the next morning when she swept the porch of the house she met with her soldiers, a woman older than Salsa probably about 27 years old.
"Just got home from the market, huh Ma'am?" salsa asked as she was just parking her bike and Salsa saw some rusty bags of vegetables.
"Yes, you want to cook, you're a new kid, since when did you move? yesterday I didn't see you?" ask the Salsa.
"Yesterday Ma'am, because from yesterday it was not out" Salsa replied with a smile.
"So yeah, greetings know me Ririn you can call Ms. Ririn also may. What are you called yourself?" ask Salsa.
"Salsa Mbak, hopefully we can be a good neighbor" Salsa replied with a friendly smile.
"Salsa of course, oh where are you from?" ask Ririn again.
"Salsa from outside Mbak city, you could say regional children" replied Salsa.
"We are the same, Ma'am is also a regional child. Are you in college, there's also a college boy named Mia he's studying at UM?" ask Ririn again.
"Salsa is still Ma'am's school, Salsa is a school near here in Nusa Bangsa High School" Salsa replied, explaining that she is not a college child.
"Yes, you are also still very easy and beautiful, are you saying that High School is expensive and famous" Ms. Ririn was quite surprised.
"Yes Ma'am but Salsa can be lightened" explained Salsa and Mbak Ririn understood, he thought maybe Salsa child less capable but smart so accepted to school there.
"Yes Salsa, then Maak entered first yes want to cook benatar again want to go to work" he said and Salsa nodded his head.
It seems like Sister Ririn is a nice and friendly person, Salsa is grateful about her good family and she will have friends to chat with.
After sweeping Salsa to resume her other activities such as washing her clothes and cooking, she really had to live independently. There was nothing he could rely on but himself.

It's been a week that Salsa moved there and tomorrow Refan is getting word that Salsa is going to school, because Ms. Desi herself is talking to Refan. Of course Salsa is happy but she is also afraid of her friends who will mock and say it, but for the sake of continuing her school Salsa will fight all those fears.
In recent days Salsa is getting closer to her neighbor Ms. Ririn, Ms. Ririn also has a sad story. Her husband had an affair one year ago and they divorced but Ms. Ririn did not dare tell her family in the camp, she also had to raise a 3-year-old little boy named Rido but Salsa called him Dodo because it was so adorable.
"Mbak Ririn, Dodo does not need to be kept let Salsa alone who nurture it" shouted Salsa from beside the terrace.
Not long after that Ririn's mom came out and she was dressed neatly, seemed to want to go to work.
"The truth is not Papa sa, fearing that you from yesterday Rido the same you continue" replied Ms. Ririn.
"No papa kok Ma'am, Dodo is also not fussy. Today is also Sunday I have not been to school" said Salsa.
"Well, thanks Sa. Mbak go to work first, do not be naughty with aunt Salsa dear" said Mbak Ririn while stroking Rido's head.
After Mbak Ririn went Sala brought Rido into the house and did not forget to bring Rido's bag containing his change of clothes, as well as some snacks as well.
"Dodo want to watch?" ask Salsa.
She nods her head and Salsa turns on her TV, Salsa chooses a cartoon that her regular kids love.
Leisurely they sat together while watching TV and Salsa turned on her phone, this week she completely avoided everything.
"There are so many messages coming in" Salsa said as her phone turned on.
There were also some missed calls from his Papa even Loly and most from Tiara and Veny, Sintia too.
But Salsa hoped Kenzo would contact her but she did not contact Salsa at all.
"Be aware of Salsa, maybe you're not important to her. He also must know about the vedio, maybe he hates you" said Salsa.
"Tante Sa.mau jajan" Rido told Salsa.
"Oh Dodo want to snack, bentar Aunty take first yes" replied Salsa.
Salsa took some snacks in Rido's bag and gave it to Rido, after being fed he kept silent and continued watching TV.
Soon someone knocked on the door and Salsa opened it, and Refan came. Refan brings some snacks and the plan he will take Salsa a way out, Refan thinks Salsa must be bored just bored.
"Eh you Fan let's go in" said Salsa.
"But Sa, this is a snack for you" he replied giving a bag of snacks to Salsa.
"No need to bother Fan, you always make food here" Salsa felt bad.
"It's okay Sa, just relax. Wah bocil is here again" exclaimed Refan when he saw Rido sitting there watching TV.
"Yes his mother is still working, I also have no friends so I invite Rido here" replied Salsa and sat down on the side seat of Refan.
"Would you like a drink, Fan?" ask Salsa.
"No need to Sa, actually I want to invite you to walk surely you are bored a week in the lecture continues" replied Refan.
"Not really I have never left again after yesterday, can I take Dodo too?" Salsa asked Refan.
"Of course let's go together" Refan replied with a smile.
"I bathe Dodo first, you must be embarrassed if our puffer is kuel and kumel kayak gini" continued Salsa and he was very excited to go out.
"Every boss there takes a shower first, I wait here" Kenzo said, shaking his head.
"Let's Dodo baby we take a shower" Salsa asked.
Salsa also bathed Dodo painstakingly, even though he had never been close to a child. After taking a shower, Salsa picked up a Dodo shirt and told Refan to look after her because she wanted to get ready too.
"Please take care of Dodo snapping Fan, I change clothes first" he shouted.
"Iya Sa" replied Refan and held Dodo in front of the door of Salsa's room.
After that they went to the playground and Dodo was very happy there, during the day they ate together in a cafe.
There was a funny incident that did not stop making Refan laugh, there was a middle-aged husband and wife who greeted them and said if the three of them were like a happy little family.
"You are like a very happy little family and your children are also cute" said the old grandmother who wanted to pass by but stopped and greeted them.
"Right, did you guys get married young?" keep Grandpa next to him.
"Yes, Kek, do we look good?" Refane asked them.
"Yes of course, you are very lucky your wife is very young and beautiful. Your son is also very cute" his answer with a smile.
Refan laughed after they left, and Salsa was surprised by what Grandpa and Grandma said. Does she look like mothers who already have children one thought.
"Why don't you stop laughing?" ask Salsa who is still feeding Dodo.
"Don't be my wife's fierce" he replied.
"Mala was joking, who are you calling wife" Salsa said.
"Don't be mad at Sa, I'm just kidding. They are funny in part, when we say husband and wife who already have another child" replied Refan with a smile, in his heart he stings happy and pray that may become a reality.
