"What are you talking about, son?" asked Aisyah and she pulled Firda, bringing her to sit on the edge of the bed.

Even if Gabriel is not a good husband for Firda, hopefully Firda can be a good wife for her. Because that goodness will come back to ourselves, right, Ummi. Hopefully that way we can be the same as a good couple at the end" said Firda at length which makes her mother can only be silent with a lethargic look.
"Ummi don't be sad anymore huh.." exclaimed Firda then leaned his head on his mother's shoulder.
"Ummi's sadness when you're sad, Fir. And Ummi will stop being sad when you stop being sad, son. It hurts so much to see you suffer" Aisyah said as she stroked her daughter's head.
"Congratulate us, Ummi" said Firda and Aisyah could only nod.
