"Father... Papahs... ".

While running I approached Papah while stretching out my arms impatiently wanting to hug him, Papah glanced at my call, then smiled, and stretched his hand I immediately hugged him and asked.

"Well, where have you been?, why don't we go home?, we miss Papah".

Papah could not hold back his tears, and could only say.

"Prepare Papah dear.. Papah's promise won't be gone long".

I hugged Papah even tighter as if afraid that he would disappear again, leave, and long would not come back, Papah kissed me on the cheek, then came my brothers they scattered to embrace Papah, we told all the events that we experienced in the house to Papah, when Papah was not at home, Papah like her already knows maybe Mamah told her on the way home.

"Thank God you're okay, you're a strong kid, you're smart kids take care of Mamah, and you're a booster for Mamah, Papah is proud of you".

Papah kissed the three of us.

"We're going to stay here or come home?.

My brother Teh Eli asked.

"We go home, don't we have a house, you're not afraid, are you?.

Papah asked us, we shook our heads and smiled.

"Are you sure?, Papah is okay if you want to stay here with Grandpa, and Grandma, Papah will allow you to be more complicated here as long as you don't get naughty".

Papah said giving us the option of shaking our heads.

"We don't want to go home".

Said my eldest brother.

"Yes, I don't want to separate from Papah".

I said while hugging Papah.

"We're going home tomorrow".

Papah said he decided, we will go back to Bandung to our house which we have stayed 2 months ago.

"Buy TV again yaa".

I said asking, I who did not understand that now Papah has no job, don't buy a TV maybe papah is confused where he gets the money for our daily life in that house, but Papah just smiles, and hides his worries.

"Yes, Papah will buy some more tivi".

Papah assured us, and then came Mamah carrying food on her table.

"So we're home tomorrow?".

Mamah asked as she took a seat, and sat down in front of Papah.

"Yes Mah we go home tomorrow, Papah know, Mother, and Father do not mind us living here even they are happy, but we have Mah's house, Papah will find a job, Papah will find a job, Papah definitely got a new job don't worry yeah we'll all be fine".

Papah tried to convince Mamah even though it was not necessary because Mamah would always support, and follow wherever Papah went, even without Papah persuading or trying to convince Mamah, because Mamah was sure that with Papah everything would be fine, Mamah smiled, and nodded and held Papah's hand, Papah kissed Mamah's hand.

" Thank you, Mah..".

Again smiling Mamah looks happiness on the face of Mamah who just met Papah again after a long time.

"I'm your wife Pah, I will always support all your decisions, please take me who ever crossed my mind, you are unfaithful".

Mamah lowered her head, and Papah stroked Mamah's head.

Papah glanced at us one by one with a face of regret, then Aunt Ana came by holding my sister.

"The food is ready, Mom, and you're waiting at the dinner table for breakfast".

Aunt Ana asked us to have a meal together, and then we went to the dining room where we were sitting, Grandma, Grandpa and Om Dani, and then we sat in our seats.

"Let's have breakfast".

Grandpa smilingly asked us for breakfast.

"It's good that you've met Papah again".

Said Nkekenek smiling happily looking at his grandson, and his son looked back excited.

" lkya nek tomorrow we want to go back to Bandung to our home".

I said while taking vegetables in the bowl.

"Tomorrow? that fast? why must rush, this house so quiet if you come home stay a few more days".

Grandma said in surprise, stopped her mouthful, and glanced at Grandpa for support.

" Yes, the children also miss school a lot of lessons".

Mom gave a reason.

"Yes yesterday I told you that your child's school is here, but you said what responsibility it will be tomorrow after your husband picks up, your husband picks up, up to two months children are not in school what is still accepted in the old school?".

Grandma Said.

"Schoolers know ko Bu, Papah his missing children they must understand Bu our circumstances, later Papah his children who will go to school asking for tolerance, and, so they also know if the Papah children have met, well hopefully they still want to accept, if not we move to another school".

As usual Mamah who always represents Papah spoke, and explained everything to her parents to understand ,Grandmother, and Grandpa already understand that, if all has become Papah's decision, then all has become Papah's decision, and Mamah has always supported her in a way that represents speaking explained to them.

"We can only wish you all the best but remember not to forget to tell".

Said Grandfather who was forced to agree to our decision to come home tomorrow.

"Yes sir we will always tell you, my prayer is to get a new job Sir, Thank you Mr, Mother and all her have taken care of my wife and children, sorry to bother".

Papah thanked Mamah's family, who had taken care of us when he disappeared, although it was not necessary because Mamah's family especially Grandpa, and Grandma was very entertained, and we were happy to live with her, Papah when marrying Mamah was already orphaned, there were only a few of his sodara outside the city, but Mamah was not close to the Papah family, probably also because they were far away, and busy with his affairs, but Mama was not close to the Papah family, they rarely communicate, or just call to give news, whether I know we are only close to the Mamah family, maybe even we do not know the Papah family.

"What are you talking about, your children are my grandchildren, your wife is my child you are also my child, where the parents who feel the hassles of taking care of his flesh and blood?, his family, his family, his family, and his family, he said,I want you to stay here, too,".

Grandma said with a slightly disappointed tone.

"We as parents can only wish them all the best, Mom, all the decisions are in their hands".

Grandpa remembered Grandma, and ended his last mouthful, and drank a glass of water and said goodbye to go to his shop, Grandpa sold his groceries at the grocery store, om Dani helps Grandpa sell groceries at their shop go early in the morning, and come home late afternoon together, who is at home only Grandma because Aunt Ana is in college, so Grandma really wanted us to stay with her because she felt lonely, that day we sorted out clothes, Grandma looked sad we tried to comfort her by saying we would visit her as often as possible, that day we spent playing with Grandma to cheer her up, Mamah took care of our things that will be brought tomorrow, the night after dinner we used to watch TV together, as usual, and chatting, at 9 pm Mamah told us to go to bed so that tomorrow we wake up not bad luck, we will go to Bandung to return to our house full of horror terror, which is full of horror, but we are not the least bit afraid we even miss the atmosphere of our home, we are very excited to go home, without us knowing what will happen next there, he said, what horror terror will still haunt us?, what will our situation be better after Papah comes home?.

" women.... Eli... Teteh wakes.. dawn prayer.. ".

Mamah woke us up for the dawn prayer, then we woke up lazily, and took ablution and the congregational dawn prayer, after which I, I, was, and my brothers in the room cleaned up the things we were going to bring home, we stopped after Grandma came to the room to take us breakfast, as usual there was a conversation in the dining room when we had breakfast, Grandma was still trying to convince us to stay longer, but our decision was made to go home, after breakfast we took a bath one by one dressed up, and waited for the rental car that Grandpa had rented for us, came the car and we said goodbye we kissed Grandma's hand, and hugged her, and we kissed her, then kissing her cheeks, and Grandpa, Aunt Ana, and Om Dani look sad face lost them when we boarded the car, Grandpa gave the envelope to Papah while saying.

"This is for your supplies, hopefully enough until you get a new job, and remember the words of Father last night you know what you have to do if the creature terrorizes you, but remember the genie kapir, you know what you have to do, and the devil has many ways to deceive you, you must draw closer to Allah sincerely, and patiently".

Grandpa gave Papah his advice, nodded his mark of understanding then kissed Grandpa's hand, and hugged him.

"Thank you Sir forgive me for not being able to make the Father's son happy, Thank you for everything".

Papah hugging Grandpa tightly, Grandpa patted Papah on the back, then we left. 5 hours drive we finally got home, we got out of the car, we got out of the car, Papah opened the gate of our house and we entered, we lined up to look at our house from the porch before entering,..
