184. The Story Of The Dog

Rissa and Alvin arrive at Rissa's new house. His Fortuner looked too luxurious to park in the front yard of the tiny house. Alvin helps Rissa to unload her things.

"Welcome to my house. Make yourself at home," said Rissa.

"So, you just moved here?" asked Alvin.

"Yes. Just last night," answered Rissa with a smile.

Alvin smiled, looking at Rissa's house. "Your house is still empty."

"Yes. But enough for me alone." Rissa keeps plates, bowls, and other cutlery in the sink then washes them.

"Aren't there any other members of your family in Bandung?"

"There is my father's younger brother, but he lives in Cibiru. It's far from here. Besides, I'm not too close to him."

Alvin nodded. Rissa keeps her new bucket in the bathroom and throws the old one into the trash. Then, Rissa tried her new iron.

Alvin walked slowly from the living room to the kitchen, then was interested in seeing something. He took the gift James gave her.
