Her mother is having the milk for the baby after she has taking that ancient medicine from an old man. Even though, she is getting better form that but her health is still not so good because of not enough food for her to eat. Mela earns a lot of money in a day but she paid a lot too. When she found out that her mom needs to eat a lot then she started working more harder by closing her coffee shop at 1 am everyday and what an AMAZING is the customer is still coming due to Good Movie and feeling comfortable with the shop.  As Mela does all the housework such as washing clothes for all her family member and cook, so her dad starts helping with clothes of her mama and brother and sisters. He is also has less complain about wake her up or force her with money.

“Ma, I will wash Brina’s clothes and yours so please help me with checking the food!” Mela tells her mother.

“Mela, go coking and I’ll wash them for you.” Her father replied.

“it’s okay, Pa.” Mela replied.

“I told you, I’ll do. Go and rest.” Her father screamed.

“Okay.” Mela replied.

“Hello! How are you? When can you come home? I miss you so much.” Mela answered her older sister phone.

“I’ll be home this week, please tell everyone. How is ma and pa? and how is little Brina?” Sara asked.

“They are good. Brina is a little naughty this week because she almost 7 months so she starts crawling a bit fast and night time she cries many times due to the weather is hot in here.” Mela answered.

“how about you?” Sara added.

“I’m okay. Thanks! I thought you might no ask about me. How are you there? How is university life?” Mela asked.

“I’ll tell you when I arrive home this week. I’ll hang up now.” Sara said.

“Okay. Goodbye! Love you sis.” Mela replied.

“Mela, go call your brother to eat lunch.” Her mother asked.

“He is already big, why do I have to call him every time?” Mela replied.

“Why? Just calling, is that heavy for you?” her mother shouted.

“I’ll call.” Mela replied.

“Hey, why are you hiding in the house alone? Do you know that this is lunch time, why I have to keep calling you for lunch every day? I don’t like it. I don’t have time for lunch and look at you; you don’t even care about lunch. I always think that you are small because you are just 14 years old and you are boy and only boy in our sibling. Everyone treats you like a prince, so do I. Don’t make me tire more than that okay?” Mela turned on the light and talked to her brother.

“Stop talking and go first. I’ll there soon.” Moon replied with a cool voice.

“Okay, but don’t let parents waiting for long.” Answered Mela.

“Emm. I know.” Moon replied.

“Mela, one Ice-black coffee, please!” Rany asked.

“Please wait!” Mela replied and her sound like a bird singing.

“Ma, I’ll eat later.” Mela told her mom.

“Okay.” Similai replied.

“Here is your coffee.” Mela handed the coffee to Rany.

“Here the money. Will you go to English class? I am going now as I heard today teacher will have a quiz.” Rany returned with the money to Mela.

“Really? Okay. I’ll go now with you, please wait me.” Mela replied and ran fast to grab her books and pencil case then keep them under her motorbike.

“Ma, I’ll go buy things for selling.” Mela informed her ma.

“Why don’t you eat first?” Similai asked with her voice raising.

“I am not hungry.” Mela made an excuse.

“Hmm. Okay then.” Similai replied with sad face.

“Ma, Pa, Moon and Mela! I miss you.” Sara ran and hugged her mama.

Mela was in the kitchen and her tear is falling due to nervous plus happy to see her only person who understands her came.

“I will divorce you now and now not tomorrow, what is good about you? I have lived with you more than 20 years and see I have nothing even one cent in my pocket. Give me 500$ then I will leave now.” Shouted Mr. Pentagon with throwing the stick to Similai but the stick didn’t straight to her at all.

“Go! Mela gives him money that you keep for the bank and I will borrow your aunt for you.” Shouted her mother.

“Here is money, Sara! Please hand it to him.” Mela handed the money to her sister.

“What is happening? I just came about 5 mins and you are fighting. Please anyone explain, but Pa, why did you have to use violent?” Crying Sara.

Moon is standing in front of his mom and his little sister to cover things when his papa throwing. He is standing with his face is facing his father; his eyes are widening with a stern face.

“Are you pleased BITCH? How? See? You want me to leave, now I’m leaving. Live in this HELL and YOU WON’T see ME anymore. Don’t CALL me or Contact me even though someone dies or married. I pray to the GOD to punish you by living in the hell forever; You won’t live in a happy life for a day. You will live in THIS HELL for the rest of your life and will always in PAIN” Mr. Pentagon shouted and screamed at Mela.

Mela shuts her mouth closed and no replied with crying in the kitchen.

“STOP!!!!! Stop father!” Sara shouted while crying.

“Money money! I will leave now.” Demanded Mr. Pentagon.

“Here! Thanks Pa for everything!” Crying Sara.

After Mr. Pentagon left, Similai doesn’t cry then asked Mela to prepare food and close the shop, but Mela doesn’t close because she has to earn money as her brain keeps thinking about money which needs to pay for the bank next Monday. Similai explained everything to her daughter – Sara and Moon went to the house without eating. The strange thing is Brina keeps crying out loud almost 40 mins.  

The night time coming, Reii is sitting in the coffee shop; his eyes are looking at Mela with a sorrow face.

“Mela, can I see you at 12am?” Reii messaged to Mela.

“Why? I will close the shop at 1 am. Sara is here too; I don’t want her to know about us.” Mela replied.

“I’ll wait. I miss you so much and I am really wanted to talk to you, please!” replied Reii.

“I’ll check first.” Replied Mela.
