"Wow, your suggestion is very thoughtful and you are right. After all, mom feels very tired after cleaning the house with you. And mom will rest first.'' Mrs Salina and Alisa sat together on the gray sofa. Alisa was so impressed and devoted to watching her favorite story. Also, her mother was already asleep because she was too exhausted.

After 30 minutes, "Mom, the story is over. Let's make cupcakes," Alisa suprised her sleeping mother.

"Oh, it's over. Okay, I want to go wash my face first,"said Mrs Salina and immediately went to the bathroom.

Tung! Tang! Tung! Tang!

After almost 1 hour of making cupcakes, both of them can now smile with satisfaction." Finally, our cupcakes are ready" said Alisa with shining eyes. She likes to eat the cupcakes that she and her mother have made. Then, Mrs Salina taught Alisa how to decorate cupcakes with whipped cream. Alisa obediently followed her mother's every command.

Mr Rahman was amused to see Alisa's reaction."Dad was instructed to move to Johor". Mr Rahman said

"Move? Why we need to move anyway? Dad already got fired, then told to move". said Alisa ,who was becoming more and more dissatisfied about what happen to her father.

"I'll tell you later. Now, let's eat first. Your mom must have been waiting in the kitchen for a long time," said Mr Rahman and went to the dining table.

"Dad said we had to move, didn't we? Why?" asked Alisa who was still not satisfied with it. Mrs Salina who was heard Alisa's word was shocked and surprised. However, she just kept quiet. She waited for her husband to explain.

Mr Rahman looked at his daughter and wife with a smile."Actually ,dad got promoted. That's why I was instructed to move to Johor,"explained Mr Rahman about the real situation.

"Wow, is it true? Congratulations! I thought that you really got fired, dad," said Alisa and felt ashamed for making her own assumptions.

"Alisa, next time let dad finish talking first before you interrupt ,it was inappropriate and improper when you talk to someone else in the future. Although, dad was happy to see you confused earlier," said Mr Rahman with a smile.
