Abrisam took turns watching his family eating breakfast, and his eyes stopped on Tomi. The man who was going to be a father for the third time realized that his eldest son was looking at him.
“What's up, Sam?”
Tomi's question made the others stare towards Abrisam. The man shook his head and bribed food into his mouth.
“If anyone wants you to say so. Come on, tell Papi! You need what? Your pocket money's out?”
Sam raised his head, “not that, Pi.”
“Terus?”
“In Papi's office there is a job whose job is night?” tanya Sam made Tomi's forehead wrinkle.
“Absolutely who needs a job? You?”
This young man shook his head, “friend Sam, Pi. She needs a night job because it's noon to afternoon college.”
Tomi put down her spoon. Holds both hands up at the table, and the man thinks.
“If Papi's office night is closed, Sam. There is also a security guard. Does your friend want to be a security guard? It works from night till 7 am.”
Sam fell silent, thinking which might give Tania a job as a security guard. That's a man's job even though Tania actually looks like a man too. The hour is also too long if Tania's morning lecture can be late. The guy took a long breath.
“How?” Tomi took his spoon and fork back, “your friend wants to be a security guard? His salary is good.”
Both corners of Sam's lips were attracted to form a smile. “No, Pi. He finished his work too early. Sam's friends are always late to campus.”
“Yes is okay. It is hard to find a job while studying. Papi felt the same way with your friend.”
“So, Papi ever work part time too?” ask Sam who just found out.
Because her mouth was full Tomi just nodded.
“Already let's go to school! Yasmin is late.” Siska stood up and attached the backpack to her two shoulders.
Tom checked the clock on his wrist. The man drank and stood up.
“Come, Yasmin with Papi!” Tomi tote her briefcase.
“Be careful, Mas!” Siska and Anna alternated with her husband.
Abrasam stood up and reconciled with his father.

Sunlight was very stinging that afternoon. But Sam had to go to class. Lunch is indeed a lot of lazy people to attend it because this is the time to date the mattress.
For the sake of graduating with good grades Sam remains excited down the corridors of his faculty. His hand flapped the brochure he had at the gate, on his face. It's so hot now.
“Sam! Sam!”
Someone who shouted his name managed to stop the man's steps. He looked back. That's Tania's voice. The girl ran to Abrisam.
“Gue want to return this.” Tania extended her hand holding Sam's handkerchief. The guy just looked at it, “have I washed.”
Sam smiled, “Neither need to return. Just take it for you, I'm still a lot at home.”
“Dih, songong amat lo.” Tania and Sam laughed at the same time.
They continued their way down the corridor to their class. Tania invited Sam to have a casual conversation.
“Kata Jodi, lo same Adira fight ya?”
“It was so. Now it's better,” replied Sam looking straight at the road.
“Thank God, why fight?”
Sam hasn't answered Tania's question. A girl shocked them in front of the classroom entrance.
“Finally you came too, Sam.” Forehead Sam shriveled, “popolation ugly people reduced as well.” Celsie flicked her hands around her neck like a bully.
“That's ‘there's Jodi.” Appoint Sam to his friend who is sitting on the teaching table hugging the guitar.
Abrisam walked into the classroom with Tania following behind him.
“Jodi just added ugly people population.”
Sam laughed softly upon hearing this reply from his female friend.
“That's ‘kan just said mom lo. Make the heart of his son. Though your mother is also enek, Jod.” Celsie laughed out loud after bullying her friend.
Tania laughed now. However, he looked down at the handkerchief that was still clasped. The girl smiled, then turned to look at Sam. This guy who Tania secretly likes is laughing enjoying the jokes of his two friends.
“Friends please give his attention for a moment!" students who were already quite crowded in the class turned their heads, “I will sing a song titled I want him from Andmesh.” Jodi started strumming the guitar on her lap.
“Mending to diem, Jod. That's more helpful,” chirps one of the students.
Finally the laughter broke out. Jodi pressed her lips slightly. Not yet the concert has been rejected.
Tania turned her eyes. He put the handkerchief in the bag. When I looked back at Sam. The young man had already joined his friends who were on the back bench.

Already two semesters Adira reported that he could not go home again. Though Sam was waiting for the girl to come and erode the longer thickened longing.
Abrisam attached his two long legs to the wall with his body lying on the bed. Today he decided not to go anywhere. Yesterday the day after tomorrow he left with Emran and Manha. He played with Jodi and Tania yesterday. Now the guy is confused about what else to do.
It feels like a long time to wait for Adira to finish her education in Australia. Sam is not strong if he has to wait again.
“Sam!” suddenly Abrisam heard Tomi's voice calling out to him.
This young man who slept upside down tried to glance at the wall clock in his room. It was only 2pm, when Tomi came home. Sam tries to ignore him because he thinks he's hallucinating.
“Sam!” the sound was louder than the first.
“Sam! Down first! Someone wants Papi Cinta,” shouted Tomi from the ground floor of his house.
“Bapi has really come home,” muttered the young man lowered his legs and got off the bed.
He tidied up the shirt he was wearing, then walked out of the room. Sam sees Tomi sitting on the couch in the tv room. This man hastened his steps down the stairs.
“What's up, Pi? How did the tumben come home?”
Sam drops his body on the couch, right next to Tomi.
“Papi home fast special you.” Sam's forehead is wrinkled. He doesn't know what Tomi is talking about.
“Nih, Mas.” Siska came, then put camgkir on the table, “copynya.”
“Thank you, Darling.” Tom smiled gently.
“Sam still doesn't know the meaning of Papi.” The guy looked at Siska who was standing in front of him holding a tray, “what the hell, Bun?”
Siska who also did not know just put her two shoulders together. Tomi opened her bag and pulled something out of the briefcase.
“For you!” This old man gave a rectangular box to his eldest son.
“Sam can gift? Sam's birthday is over, Pi.”
“Open first!” tomi's orders.
With still being dominated by confusion Sam just follow his father's wishes. He opened the cover of this small rectangular box.
How surprised Sam was when he saw a piece of paper with a plane ticket and his destination was to Australia.
“This is right make, Sam?” Tomi nodded, “thank you Papi. Sam does want a vacation to Dira.” Abrasam hugged his father.
Tomi smiled and patted Sam on the back.
“Papi knows you miss that girl. If he can't come home because he's busy. Then you go to her place. Papi give it because your grades are good this semester.”
Sam took off his embrace, “Sam so moved. Papi is good. Thank you Papi.”
Siska, who was fond of the warmth of this son and father, smiled.
“Sama-sama, Son. Be careful there later. Do not forget to tell Papi, Mother, Mama here if you have arrived.”
The man nodded with a smile that did not fade, “That's for sure, Pi.”
“Yes already, there clean up your things you want to bring tomorrow!” Tomi grabs the cup on the table, “let tomorrow not rush. Check that no one is left behind.” Tom sipped his warm coffee.
“Ready, Boss!” Sam stood up, then ran towards his room with his hands holding a present from Tomi.
"Sam, Sam." Siska shook her head and laughed softly with eyes seeing the figure of her son getting away.
