Anissa rushed up from her position then stood before the couple while smiling warmly.
"Anissa, Mum." Anissa extended her hand before Dodi who was now also looking at her fixedly.
Shaking, Dodi welcomed the woman's hand. "Dodi" he answered briefly and clearly.
Anissa clasped Dodi's hand tightly and glanced at her sharp eyes as if reminding the contents of her chat to the man. Dodi grunted in annoyance. It turned out that the sharp gaze thrown by Anissa managed to remind herself of her chat message last afternoon.
"Hmm, Arini. About Anissa ... What if we invite Anissa to stay here for a while? Didn't you just say that Anissa was thrown out of her contract. Anyways, having Anissa here will make your job easier too, dear Arini. How's it?" dodi with a flat face.
Arini looked at Dodi with a faint smile. "Are you sure? Then what if you don't allow it?" arini asked half a whisper so that Anissa would not hear her words.
"As for Mom, you don't have to worry. Let me talk to him later." Dodi stroked the top of Arini's head and then placed his warm kiss on her forehead.
Anissa immediately turned her face the other way. He did not like to see Dodi's sweet attitude towards his wife.
"All right then. Um, Anissa, what do you think? Do you agree with Mas Dodi's proposal?" ask Arini.
Of course Anissa agreed because it was her goal from the beginning, living with her little family Dodi. "Of course, Ma'am. I'm so happy to hear it" said Anissa with a cramped face.
"Then, come with me. Let me show you a room for you." Arini turned her back and then stepped out of the room. Anissa followed in her footsteps from behind.
Anissa had glanced at Dodi who was now bending her face in annoyance. The woman again threw a smile, as if showing that she managed to make the man willing to follow all her wishes.
"Satisfied now!" annoyed Dodi slowly while raising his fist into the air. Instead of being afraid, Anissa instead grew even more happy to see the frustrated-looking Dodi.
Finally they arrived in front of the empty room that would become Anissa's room. Arini opens the door and invites Anissa to come inside.
"This is your room, Anissa. You can stay here for a while. Um, what about your stuff? Where did you drop it? Didn't you say you were thrown out of contract?" ask Arini wonder.
"Ah, yes it is. My belongings are still in my friend's boarding house, Ma'am. I purposely left it there because I had nowhere else to leave it. Tomorrow morning I have permission for Mbak to take it back" Anissa said.
"Yes, of course, Anissa."
"Thank you very much for all the kindness Ma'am Arini and Mas Dodi. I don't know what my fate would be if I hadn't met you. You guys are the nicest couple I've ever met" Anissa said, hugging Arini.

That night, Ms. Nining was shocked by Anissa's whereabouts. He did not know that Dodi had given the woman permission to live there. He stared in annoyance at Anissa who was drinking warm tea at the dinner table alone.
"You! What are you doing here? Don't you have a place to stay so hop in here, huh?!" as if Bu Nining had approached the woman.
Anissa smiled then rushed up from her sitting position. "I'm sorry, Mom. But it was Mas Dodi himself who asked me to stay here" Anissa said calmly.
"What?! Ah, there's no way Dodi would do that without asking my permission!" screech with an annoyed face.
"If you don't believe it, you can ask directly to Mas Dodi" he said again.
Bu Nining immediately left the room then rushed towards Dodi and Arini's room. He wants to protest to Dodi about Anissa. Along the way to Dodi's room, Bu Nining continues to swearing rudely. Even until he was in front of the door of his daughter-in-law's room.
"Dodi, open the door! I want to talk to you for a minute!" said Bu Nining while banging on the door.
"Yes, Mom. Waita minute!" reply Dodi who rushed towards the door of the room. He immediately opened the door because the rumbling sound made by Bu Nining sounded very noisy. He was afraid that little Azkia would wake up from her sleep because of the noise created by Bu Nining.
"What the hell is it, Mom? Why are you knocking on the door so hard? Later Azkia woke up again," said Dodi as he approached Bu Nining and took her to walk away from their room.
"Heh Dodi, I'm upset today! How can you allow that woman to stay with us? Eventually our house will become an inn! First the baby and now the baby sitter! Who else tomorrow, huh?" annoyed Bu Nining while leaving her waist.
Dodi tried to calm the woman who had given birth to him. He stroked Bu Nining's back and invited her to sit on the sofa in the television room.
"Easy, Mother. Anyway, this is only for a while. Later after Azkia has sintered, we will not need her services anymore" said Dodi gently.
"Until when? A year, two years, or until your wife gets a miracle from God, is that it?!"
"Mother ... Why did you mention Arini again, Mom? Yes, at most one year, and after that we will ask him to stop" replied Dodi.
Unbeknownst to the two men, Anissa peeked at them from a distance. "Hmm, just fire me if you can! It was your wife who was about to leave this house" he muttered with a bent face.
