This Saturday morning, Kayra made a pilgrimage to the grave of Danny, the man who was her biological father. Not only accompanied by Erlangga, but also by Krishna and Helen. While Arina who has returned to Bandung can not take part in the pilgrimage to the tomb of the man who once impregnated it.
Maybe Arina is not ready to make a pilgrimage to Danny's grave, or maybe it is also because it keeps the husband feeling. However, both Kayra and Erlangga can understand Arina's decision.
Kayra sat crouching in front of Danny's bellybut with little distress due to her bulging belly. He stared at the tomb of his father.
" Om, sorry I just visited Om's grave. I'm here with my cousin's sister, Om's son, who is now my wife. If Om is still alive, maybe Om will regret wasting the child Om did." Kayra turned to her husband who was talking in front of the grave of Danny who was the cousin of Helen.
" Look at this Om boy now. She became a great woman, a loving woman, a patient woman, a sincere and wise woman. A woman who can make her parents feel proud to have a child like her. Even he can forgive and pray for Om even though Om does not acknowledge his presence in this world." Erlangga seemed to be carried away by emotions even though the only one spoken to was a tombstone.
" Mad, don't be like that. We have come here to pray that Papa will have his grave laid, forgiven all his sins and accepted his charity." Seeing her husband talking like that, Kayra patted him on the shoulder so as not to continue to issue a sentence that regretted the actions of Danny first towards Arina and herself while still in Arina's stomach.
" I'm sorry, honey. I can't be as crazy as you." Erlangga put his hand on Kayra's shoulder and kissed her temple.
" Kayra, Papa is so grateful that you can forgive Papa's sister-in-law for the mistakes made against you and your mother, son." Krishna who sat opposite Kayra also felt grateful that his daughter-in-law could sincerely forgive Danny, even willing to admit Danny as his father.
" Papa Danny's gone, Pa. Why hate him? If Papa Danny doesn't want to acknowledge me as his son and treat Mama badly, we should pray that my Papa's mistakes and sins in his lifetime can be forgiven and forgiven." With a wise sentence Kayra mentioned the reason for being able to be sincere. " After all if we instill respect for parents, God willing, our children will be able to receive the teachings well, Pa. They will follow the good deeds they see from their parents everyday" he continued.
" God, what a wonderful heart your heart is, son. It's lucky Erlangga has a wife like you and we're lucky to have a daughter-in-law like you, Kayra." Krisna expressed her admiration for Kayra's attitude, an attitude that is almost hard to find in any woman.
" Ah, Papa is over-appreciating me." Kayra blushed in embarrassment praised by her in-laws.
" I hope you have a lot of kids, Kayra. Let Mama have many grandchildren who are sholeh and sholeh .." chirped Helen suddenly.
" Oh my goodness, Mama. This is it Kayra hasn't given birth has asked for a lot." Krishna protested his wife, making Kayra and Erlangga look at each other and smile.
" Don't Papa want to have a lot of grandchildren?" Helen responds to a protest from her husband.
" We'd better go home now, Pa, Ma." Seeing his parents arguing, Erlangga invited Helen and Krishna to come home soon rather than the two of them continue to argue in public places.
" Come on, Honey ..." Erlangga helped Kayra stand up.
" Pa, Kayra go home first. Next time, Kayra will make another pilgrimage to Papa's tomb" Kayra said before leaving her Papa's tomb.

" Mad, Mama Arina asked us to play to Bandung before I gave birth. When is there free time?" kayra asked as she put a tie on the collar of her husband's shirt to the office.
" We will stay two days there" continued Kayra waiting for an answer from her husband.
" We're staying over? Is there gonna be Rivaldi?" asked Erlangga with worry.
" Why are you still worried about Mr. Aldi, anyway?" She's now my half-sister, which means Mas's sister-in-law too, right?" Kayra chuckles at her husband's rivalry with Rivaldi who used to fight over her. Kayra still refers to Rivaldi as Pak, because he himself has never met the man again after finding out if they are stepbrothers.
" If there were any other choice, I wouldn't want to have her sister-in-law." Erlangga seemed unhappy with his relationship with Rivaldi at this time.
" Don't be so dong, Mas. Pity our son, seeing his Papa and his Om being hostile to each other." Kayra advised Erlangga not to harbor hatred towards Erlangga.
" I don't imagine if you're married to Rivaldi. My wife turned out to be my step-sister." Erlangga is teasing Kayra.
Erlangga looked at his wife who was laughing cheerfully. His wife was completely unencumbered by his past and origin.
Erlangga's hand now rubbed Kayra's head with a gaze that continued to lead to the beautiful face of the wife.
" I'm glad to see you laughing happily like this, honey" Erlangga said later.
Erlangga's words made Kayra stop her laughter. But she immediately wrapped her hands around her husband's stomach and drowned his face in his chest.
" I'm happy, of course. Mas always makes me happy and always try not to be sad, " Kayra said later.
" I'll try to make you happy, Kayra. I made a promise that I would protect you and love you. Turns out I've been saying that since I was a kid, when you were still in your Mama's belly." Erlangga did not expect if the baby in the stomach of his caregiver was his soul mate, his soul mate.
He used to kiss and stroke Arina's stomach at that time. And the warmth that flowed from her touch was so strong, that when she first met Kayra when she was an adult, she was already amazed by Kayra's figure.
" Did I ever think I'd marry you?" Kayra pulled her body from the husband's embrace.
" Of course not! Who would have ever guessed if I would marry a baby in Arina's mother's belly. But I've loved you since you were in your Mama's womb, baby." Erlangga pinched Kayra's cheek which had started to look chubby, making Kayra chuckle.
" Now I'm asking you, did you ever think you'd marry this handsome guy and a boss like me?" asked Erlangga.
" No, I've never dreamed that far" I'm honest Kayra. " I am just an ordinary woman educated in a simple way of life. So I never dreamed of becoming the wife of a wealthy businessman like Mas" she continued.
" What did you want a husband like before, hemm?" Erlangga raised Kayra's chin with her finger.
" I want to have a good husband, love and responsibility towards the family. Who is the same faith and can be my priest, leading me to wade through the household mahligai who is very wise mawadah warohmah," Kayra said later.
" Have I entered into the criteria of the husband you desire, dear?" Erlangga asked because he felt that he was not yet a near-perfect figure as mentioned by his wife.
" God willing, Mas. Hopefully in the future Mas can be the best figure for me and our children," Kayra hoped back.
" Aamiin, honey." Erlangga gave a sweet kiss on Kayra's lips.
" Iiihh, that's it, Mom. Go to the office. It'll be noon." Kayra told her husband to leave for the office as it was nine in the morning.
Kayra then took her husband's briefcase and wanted to take her to the porch.
" Get me the bag, honey. Let me take it." Erlangga picked up her briefcase held by Kayra. Because he could not bear his wife who was pregnant was lifting her briefcase. After that they walked out of their room.
