“My father's army, he's got a hostel there. So in preferring to live in a dorm, his wife also wants to live there. And this house he bought it because he thought of me who probably wouldn't fit in with his wife,” Rendi told Thalia.
“Oh,” Thalia just oh to hear Rendi's explanation,
“You just sit down first, I'm the door” said Rendi when they reached the terrace. And on the terrace was a wooden chair.

“Iya bun,” replied Rendi. Rendi did call her stepmother mother, the woman herself who asked because she did not want to make Rendi feel replaced by the presence of her mother figure. He respected Rendi, so it was better that he wanted to rendi just call her mother.
“For a long time yes Pa, we did not meet Rendi. I guess over a year we didn't meet?” she said as she sat next to her husband at this time.
“Yes, either this child. long time no home. Back home bring his wife the same prospective grandchild for us” concluded Papa from Rendi.
“Yes how else pa, I'm busy so I don't have time to go home. Papa must know the duty of the country man how, there is rarely a holiday” said rendi denied the words of his father.

“Already Ren, you don't have to think about the past. It's our past that we have to forget, it's been years. As for your brother, just forgive him even if he's wronged you a lot. Your mama also forgive him, and let him act weird”
