About Ana

" Have my two grandchildren been well rested? " ask the mother, to Malik who has joined sit on the sofa.

" Same installment cici already we put to bed in Mah's room, and I'm sorry for making you anxious" replied Malik.

" So what's important you want to say? " Task the father.

" So, Pah, that time in the cafe I really happened to meet a girl who was very similar to Ana. I admit that his face is a little different and he is very different from the little Ana when we were together last time. I'm pretty sure that girl is Ana whom we've been looking for "Malik's story.

" What...? So you've found Ana, then how she is now, is she okay, does she recognize you" said the mother, flocking Malik with many questions. There was a look of sadness that emanated on his face that had begun to age, but the corner of his lips seemed to show a very thin smile, indicating that he was very happy to hear the news that his son was telling.

" Yes, I'm pretty sure that girl is my favorite little Ana. She seemed to be very kind, she was even more graceful now with the hijab she was wearing. He said he was also polite and gentle, different from the previous Ana. Naughty and agile girl who always pranks Bian, even I never forget the spoiled whimper Ana out of annoyance with Bian who always follows him like a dog and his tail that never separated." Malik said with a small smile, but his face looked so sad after telling that.

" Are you sure if that girl is Ana, how can you tell if it's really Ana my little daughter-in-law. " The father said to confirm the utterance of his eldest son.

" Who is Ana Mas, don't tell me she's the other woman you've been hiding from me? " Said Aliza who looked shocked and was motionless after listening to their conversation. Aliza who does not know anything is shocked, especially the father-in-law mentioned if the woman named Ana was his daughter-in-law first. Aliza thought that her husband was married, and she became the husband's second wife.

" Liza, you misunderstood, son. Here first, let me explain and you should listen to the story on this matter. Because you are part of this family as well, so you should know the important secrets in our family. " Say the father-in-law calmly.

" Papa's right, baby, you better listen to the explanation first. I have no intention whatsoever to wish my wife this much, much less have you given me two little angels and I love you so much. " Said Malik very gently, he knew that his wife had misunderstood their conversation.

" It used to be that dad had very good friends with our family, dad and he's been friends since we were teenagers. We always fight and succeed together. We already know the bittersweet sweetness of life, to the time when the friend of the father is very successful compared to the father. But that father's friend is still very kind and keeps our friendship. Until we finally have our own families, our father and father's friend promise to match our first child and we will be a big family.

But the wife of a friend of the father is not pregnant as well, while the father already has Malik who has been in high school and Bian who is two years old. They have given up because they never have a baby, and father always encourages and makes them strong. Dad already considers the father's friend like his own brother, where if the father's friend is injured, then the father will also feel pain from the wound.

Until finally Alloh granted every do'a that we always say, the wife of a friend of the father finally managed to conceive. And the thing that makes the father happy is when the pregnancy of the father's friend is seven months, where the doctor tells if the father's friend's child is a woman. Since then, almost every father's vacation will be on vacation together at the home of a father's friend. We spent time together like a big family.

Until the time has come, where the wife of the father's friend gave birth. There we are very tense waiting for the prospective birth of the father's little daughter-in-law. But the father is confused, because Malik is an adult, while the son of a friend of the father has just been born. Until a funny incident occurred, where Bian had marked the son of a father friend and mentioned if the newborn baby was his future wife and would belong to Bian. It made my father very calm. The days we spent and Bian grew up with his father's friend's son, and he left Bian and Malik there because he had to go into business abroad. So did the father's friend who also left them for his business in Europe. Yet we keep a close eye on their development and put in place those choices that nurture and care for them.

Until one day, my dad's friend will go out of town and take Ana to go with them. But the accident happened, the car driven by my friend had a great accident. As a result of his father's friend and his wife died, Ana disappeared and has not been found since. We who only found out about the accident after hearing from the news, then I look for Ana and hope she is still safe. We searched Ana all the way to the village, where her maternal grandfather and she were the leaders and also the founder of the famous boarding school in the area. But we were in vain and got nothing, we were devastated at that time, especially with Bian who was more devastated when he learned the news about the accident and snatched his little Ana.

I feel so guilty for not being able to help my friend and brother. " Malik's father seemed to have cried because he was unable to stem the sadness that he had been quieting. Likewise, the wife who had been crying in her arms, because she could not hear the story of her family's past.

" I'm sorry Mah Pah, and you're dear. I've misunderstood you, I thought you were hiding something about Malik. I'm so embarrassed, I'm sorry " said Aliza who was sad after hearing the story of her father-in-law. Aliza was aware and immediately admitted her mistake to all of them.

" That's okay, it's also our fault for not telling you about our family history" replied the father-in-law.

" I remember very well, Bian was eight years old and Ana was five years old. Bian always follows Ana and mentions that Ana is his and she is his little wife. Though at that time Bian was still drinking milk in a bottle of pacifier, and in the end Ana was upset with Bian and ended with a fight. Ana even kept reporting to me, and asked to keep Bian away. Truly it was the most beautiful time I ever lived "Malik smiling part imagine the events in his past.
