In the afternoon, Riana appeared running from outside entering Sofia's residence while shouting, “Ma! Mama!” his screams all over the room.
Sofia immediately walked over, hugging her violently shaking sister-in-law's body. Her crying broke instantly.
“Where's the name, brother? Sister lied ‘kan? Where is mama?” the woman shouted again in rebellion.
Sofia answered nothing, took her to sit down and gave her some water to calm down. “Drink first, Ri,” he said helped thrust a glass on Riana's pale lips.
His appearance seemed much different from his last meeting. Now thinner, even very thin, his clothes were ordinary, his face was not as smooth as before. Her tears broke when she realized her mother was dead.
“You why I called again this morning, I chat at all you did not respond?” reza shouted with an intimidating look.
“You haven't even seen mom in the last year. Just asking how it is not!” furious Reza clenched both of his hands.
“Mas,” reprimands Sofia shaking her head. Hoping not to scatter his sister with anger.
“Rest first, you came by yourself? Later tonight so you can join tahlilan event,” pinta Sofia stretched out her hand.
Riana looked into the shady eyes of her sister-in-law, her tears growing louder. He immediately rushed into the arms of the hijab-wearing woman. He shed all his tears and sorrow.
“I'm sorry, Brother!” riana exclaimed with an echoing cry.
Sofia let out a long sigh, rubbing the woman's back slowly. “Yes, let's take a break, calm your mind first. Later that night you can tell me if there's a problem. Who knows can ease the burden of your mind,” reply Sofia unraveled her embrace.
Riana nodded, not daring to look at her brother who was still stirring up anger. She follows Sofia to the guest room, then rests her body on the bed after Sofia gives her time and space.

In the evening, the event went well. All the neighbors prayed. Including Sofia's former co-workers. Not left behind Widya also went with her entourage of men.
Their relationship improves, although Sofia cannot forget the events of one year ago, but she tries to forgive her best friend. It's just, now keep your distance. Just appreciate their friendship.
After the house was quiet, Sofia approached Riana who was sitting alone in the corner of the room. Still sounds a little sniff from him.
“Sabar yes. Ikhlaskan. So that his departure is not heavy.” Sofia rubbed her sister-in-law's shoulder.
After a moment of silence, Riana opened her voice. Her life over the past year changed 180°. Her husband cheated on her, and ended up in divorce. He had to find a job to support his son alone. Reza never gave him any money. Riana told a tearful story while leaning on Sofia's shoulder.
Miris, but that's how life is. The wheel of life is always running. If you are at the top, remind us to keep looking down, always be a grateful human being. When being at the bottom, remind humans to get closer to the creator, not give up or take shortcuts. Because every test will not exceed the limits of human ability.
“In a moment we will open a business. If you are competent, you can work there. After seven days, find a contract here. Ready the application files, because we will soon open job vacancies,” said Sofia who opened a ray of hope for Riana.
He was stunned, at once moved. Again her tears spilled. Hugging the sister-in-law whom he never greeted, even when talking was always tatus. Riana had already sensed how bitter it was to live for this year. He wants to change.
“Don't fuck around, Riana! Once you act, I kick you! Don't bother my sister you can. Must be professional!” reza is indiscriminate.
“Thank you, sister,” said Riana approached and kissed her sister's hand. “Sorry to me all this time,” he added.
Reza touched the top of his sister's head, not having the heart to see it as sad as that. “Hmm, sleep!” his word began to soften.
\=\=\=OooO\=\=\=
Late at night, Sofia and Reza rush to the room after finishing new designs and making job flyers. Good for experienced or not. For a while it was limited. However, one day, Reza hopes his company will grow quickly and be able to open as many jobs as possible.
“Darling, how do you sweat like this? So pale. You sick?” reza panicked as he sat next to his wife.
Her hands stalling wiped the sweat on Sofia's flooded forehead. His body also looked very limp.
“Not knowing, Mas. Tired as possible,” said the woman still unravels a smile.
Reza opened an instant hijab that covered his wife's hair earlier. His hair looked wet from sweat. “Do not get tired, sleep now. Want me a pijitin?”
“Not working, Mas. You must be tired too. Yaudah, let's sleep,” invite Sofia to lay down her body.
“Mas, don't talk like that. I have no one but you. I am happy and sincere about the practice,” said Sofia looked up.
“Still, Dear. I don't know if if we don't meet and marry again. Maybe I'm still a workaholic and have never felt the happiness I am today. I love you, darling,” reply Reza kissed Sofia's forehead very deep.
“I love you because of God,” said Sofia who was deep once directly stuck in the heart of Reza. He hugged the woman tightly. As if afraid of losing.
\=\=\=\=ooo\=\=\=\=
Towards dawn, Reza opened her eyes when she heard a voice that infiltrated her sense of hearing. His hands were touching to the side, but empty. There's no one.
Hurriedly opened his eyes, then aghastly sat down. Sofia's voice that was vomiting was clearly heard. He jumped out of bed and ran to his wife.
“Honey! You why?” Reza gently nibbled Sofia until she finished her vomit.
After washing her face, Sofia looked at Reza in tears. The man panicked and was half dead.
“Let to hospital ya?” said Reza wiping Sofia's cheeks.
“Mas.” Sofia smiled broadly.
“Iya, Darling?”
The woman gave a testpack. Reza accepted it, frowning not understanding. After a while, he realized. His mouth was completely open.
“Honey! Positive? You pregnant?” the man's cry was answered nodding by Sofia.
“Aalhamdulillah's. Thank you God!” reza shouted hugging the wife's body very tightly.
“Ma! Pa! What was? Why scream?” Nino who was preparing to pray was surprised to hear the screams of her papa. He immediately knocked on his parents' bedroom door.
Reza ran to open the room door, carried the boy and then circled.
“Pa! Dizziness, Pa!” elak Nino pats papa on the shoulder.
“Nino!” Reza smiled, his breathing irregular. “In the meantime, Nino will have a sister!” pekik Reza is excited and very happy.
“Hah? Really, Pa?”
“Iya, Honey! Mama pregnant sister Nino!” yell Reza again.
“Alhamdulillah,” shouted the household assistants in the doorway. Those who were worried also followed Nino to Sofia's room. They were happy to hear the news.
Nino immediately came down, running to hug her mother. Swiped her flat stomach and kissed her. “Assalamu’alaikum, Deck. It's Brother!” she put her lips on her mother's stomach.
“Wa'alaikumsalam, Sis. Later take care of ya,” reply Sofia rubbed soft head of Nino.
“Definitely, Ma!” nino hugged her mother.
Reza joined in, hugging the two most precious treasures of his life. In his heart was filled with gratitude for all the favors he had obtained.
