In such conditions, Aji does not want his clothes to get wet, if he has to, he prefers his clothes wet.
Shinta was closer to his body, so that only a few were exposed to the rainwater that fell from the surface of the umbrella into each arm.
Shinta understood the purpose of Aji's actions like that. Until when their steps reached the front porch of the house where Aji's parents lived, only a small part of the left arm to the shoulder, which was wet with rain water.

" Wa Alaikum Salaam warahmatullaahi wa barokaatuh." Reply greetings from the one who opened the door, which was none other than his younger sister Aji.
" Aa Aji geuningan, huh,? Mamah, there's Aji..!" it turns out that her sister Aji, who is a woman, is there, may be visiting to see her parents. (Geuningan \= Turns out ).translate to Indonesian.
She yells telling their mother Aji's arrival, as her son is the sixth of thirteen siblings.
Then the conversation continued, as they walked into the living room, which is usually used for family members to unwind or chat.

They shook hands, and exchanged smiles while nodding their heads, Sign of mutual respect.
"Sir, Mah healthy ?" tanya Aji, ( 'Mah', is the affectionate call of her children to their Mother).
While Aji was looking for a position where she would sit, while waiting for her mother to come out of her private room, she took a chair to sit Shinta down.
" Thank God, Sis Aji, Mah is healthy, and nothing less, now he is still praying." Reply sister.
The meeting is so rare, between Aji and his sister, that they feel kangen to each other, but the current situation does not allow for them to chat like yesterday.

So he could put himself to not follow the wishes, with the consideration of his brother who came this time was not alone.
With the basis of consideration to respect Private from her brother, then she did not say much, only her eyeballs were seen up and down around the limbs of Shinta.

Because what he knew and taught his father.
" For the one who asks for help, and when we are able to give it, why ask such a question ?"
Her mother Aji believed that her son was telling the truth, and doing the right thing, not asking many questions, The real mother wanted to advise Aji not to rush home, so she could not go, in the hope that the Mother can meet face to face while asking many things she wants to convey to her son. But he was the same as his sister, by the conditions and also the situation, so in the end the desire, not to say many things but less meaningful.
After he felt that it was enough, the meeting that the core of the discussion had been delivered, also did not forget the order in the form of a mandate, it might not be just an empty envelope, let alone palpated by Indra's hand feeler, his hand, that not only the envelope entrusted to him is worth not only, but not a small amount.
