Eliana clenched her hands and prayed “God, please brighten my heart that once tasted heavenly gifts. And once partaken in the Holy Spirit, guide Me to always be Your Son.” Eliana raised her right hand and touched her eel with her middle finger and made the sign of the cross.
“Amin.” Both said Amen, neither Eliana nor Dinda. Eliana's best friend prayed with her. “Now let's go to Alex.”'s house Bring Dinda. His doubts about Eliana are gone. Dinda always tries to keep her friend on the right path.
Dong! Alex's house bell rang. Hearing the bell, Alex went out and opened the door. Finding Eliana in front of his eyes pleased him. Instantly his heart was pounding incoherently. The girl he always stole his attention when he was on campus.
“Tadaa! We bring Nasi Padang for You.” Eliana lifted the plastic bag in front of Alex just after the cool widower opened the door. “Wah, bother highly.” Alex Sahut.
Seeing the plastic bag containing the food made Alex more happy. Alex smiled as she shone her light. Eliana was stunned, Dinda was amazed, and Alex blushed in embarrassment.
“Mari in.” Take Alex by opening the door of his house wide. Not to forget He took a plastic bag given by his neighbor. “Kok quiet? Where's Andra and Indra?” Eliana asked when entering Alex's house that only saw Hendra's whereabouts.
“Andra and Indra went to tutoring and have not come home yet. Thanks for bringing food. I'm supposed to bring you guys some food. Because you two helped me a lot both on Campus and here.” The light of Alex sumringah.
“This is not how much Lex, if you are friends it should share with each other. And you do not hesitate if you want to ask Us about courses that you do not understand.” Dinda's Message.
The three adults sat on the living room sofa. Hendra sat down right next to his father. “Wait a minute yes.” Alex's message left both of his guests in the room.
“Sini-here yok Henn.” Take Eliana to her neighbor's youngest child. But Hendra only ran after his father refused the invitation from Eliana. “Hahaha..” Dinda just laughed amusedly at seeing an Eliana who was rejected by the cute little toddler. Eliana glanced at her friend's snide as she laughed.
“Seneng you have a struggle rejected Hendra.” Eliana ketus. “Ho’oh” Dinda replied concisely. Suddenly Dinda's phone vibrated, she quickly raised the vibrating voice call on her phone.
“Halo Yes Father? Really Dad? Alright I'm home now.” Dinde immediately closed the call. His eyes glazed over after making a voice call from his father.
“What's Din?” Eliana asked to confirm, He thought his best friend was sad. “My mom home Eliana.” Answer Dinda. His best friend's face was radiant, accidentally his tears dripped.
“Thank You, Thank God, go home Dinda.” Eliana held Dinda's hands tightly. “Don't vent your anger, just hug your mother tightly for coming back.” Eliana rejected the tears that fell on her friend's cheek.
“Good Din.” Dinda answered as she rushed back to Eliana's house. Then back to Alex's house after taking his bag, throwing a key to the house to his friend who was immediately captured perfectly with Eliana.
“Bye Din.” “Bye-bye Eliana.” The two waved at each other and Dinda disappeared behind the door. Alex came with three bottles of flavored canned drinks. He put the canned drink on the table with his son's snack biscuit.
“Sorry Eliana, this is all there is.” Alex said it was not nice to see the food on the table. “Nothing this alone is enough for the uninhabited home of a woman.” Candid Eliana. Then the two laughed at once. While Hendra was silent with a flat face without understanding the intent of the conversation of the two adults.
“Loh Dinda where?” Alex searches the whole room for only Eliana along with himself and Hendra. “She came home suddenly because of family affairs.” Eliana Sahut.
For the first time Eliana was in the house with Alex. Eliana still clearly remembered when she took care of the three sons of Alex at that time alone.
“Time feels so fast, I never thought you'd ever live in this house with my children Eliana. And thank you for all your help.” Alex said softly. Only on this occasion can He speak to the girl who draws his heart with instens.
Eliana reached up to the canned drink in front of her and opened it, swallowed the sip of water and said “Do not hesitate Alex, the neighbors should take care of each other.” Then Eliana put the can of drink back on the table.
Suddenly the sound of a car engine came. As Alex and Eliana gawked, Hendra was no exception. They are watching closely who is coming. It turned out that they were the first son and the second son Alex was accompanied by his personal driver.
“Daddyhh.” Shouted Indra with a smile then kissed the back of his father's hand followed by his sister. Then Andra passed by and went into his room.
“Kakak..” Sapa Indra to Eliana. Alex's son was immediately sat on me by Eliana. “Indra, no! You've grown up sister Eliana.” Reprimand Alex to his second son. “No problem Alex.” Eliana Sahut.
The second son of Alex has always liked Eliana since he first met at some time when Indra disappeared from school. Eliana was the first woman to make her comfortable apart from her mother.
“Kakak can not Indra call Brother with call Mama?” Ask Indra suddenly. Hearing that sentence made Eliana surprised. Moreover, with Alex, Indra managed to make Speechless speechless.
Eliana glanced at Alex, Alex glanced at Eliana. “Hemm.. Alex I'm sorry to go home. My intention is to come here to give the Rice Padang and I have given it so it is time I go home.” Said Eliana, excuse me. He clearly seems misbehaved.
Eliana stepped out of the house. “Wait..” Alex Says. Eliana's footsteps stopped. Alex stared at that beautiful back “Do you want to eat with Us? I happened to have cooked.” Ask Alex to hesitate.
“Ahhh happens to be my stomach hungry.” Eliana turned around and immediately grabbed Indra's arm and went into the kitchen past Alex and ignored him again. Eliana sat down at the dinner table and opened the hood on the table. He seems to have forgotten to eat a pack of pop noodles with Dinda.
“Hemmm... Amazing you Alex, you are even good at cooking compared to myself.” Eliana muttered in her heart. Alex approached Eliana with Hendra, while Indra was sitting neatly with his beloved sister.
“Andraaa..” Shouted Alex calling his eldest son. Andra also came out of her room that was no longer wearing school uniform. “Oh Yes Indra, You have not changed school uniform.” Tegur Eliana to Indra.
“Let's go Ma, finish eating. Tomorrow also this uniform is no longer used.” Answer Indra casually. Eliana swallowed her saliva, in disbelief, already called Mama with Indra whom she had just asked permission. His eyes glanced at Alex, Alex scooping the rice and distributing the rice on a plate pretending not to hear.
“Mari eat.” Alex smiles at everyone. Eating together lasts thirty minutes without adult conversation. Not to forget the rice field that was brought earlier ludes was eaten by the two adults. There was only a light chatter from Hendra when fed by his father. Indra is occasionally fed to Eliana and Andra, who are independent and feed themselves. They eat like a real family.
After finishing eating Children disperse themselves by putting the former dishes and glasses on the sink. Eliana just rubbed every hair of Son Alex who put a dirty plate in the middle of her who was already standing on the sink to wash the dishes.
“No need Eliana, let me wash it.” Tegur Alex who took the sponge in Eliana's hands. “It's okay Alex, I've eaten for free here. So let me wash it.” Eliana Sahut.
“Eating free?” Alex raised his eyebrows. “No Eliana, You brought Nasi Padang here so you did not eat for free.” Added Alex. Eliana simply smiled in response from Alex's sentence. Then the dishwashing takes place by washing along with the harmonious cohesiveness.
“Okay, everything is done I go home yes.” Eliana said as she opened the apron she was wearing while washing dishes. Alex can not hold Eliana, Eliana also hopes to be detained by Duda who managed to take her heart.
Again, Indra approached and pulled Eliana's arm. “Kakak friends Indra main.” Indra said while dragging the girl to the family room. Andra and Hendra who had played together earlier, they were not so surprised by the presence of Eliana. The activity of playing together they have done until they feel accustomed.
Alex sat at the dinner table watching his three children playing with Eliana. His heart was stunned, seeing the laughter of Eliana with her three sons. “Nindi, aren't you happy son We played together with Eliana?” Alex asked in his heart.
His daydreams instantly collapsed when he saw Eliana standing up and approaching him. “Alex, sorry I can not accompany them to play again. Soon it is maghrib, not nice to the neighbors if until night.” Pamit Eliana's.
Alex pulls Eliana's arm and makes the girl's footsteps stop. Obviously the girl felt a different heartbeat, faster than usual. “Eliana, can't you just stay here with me.” Alex said in a serious tone.
Eliana was shocked stiff, silent, without letting go of Alex's hand. And Alex? for the time being He forgot his promise to Aisha when she was dissolved to see her Son play happily with Eliana.
“Alex are you serious?” Eliana turned back and released Alex's hand on her arm. Alex sits looking up at Eliana, while Eliana looks into Alex's eyes while standing up.
“I'm serious Eliana, no woman has ever lived in this house and taken care of my children without me other than you. I can never forget that.” Bright Alex.
“That's it because you told me to stay with you? Selfish once.” Eliana folded her hands and threw away her face. “Eliana, don't you know, I'm studying at UI because of you. You remember the first time we met when you watered flowers in the yard before I pegged Tedmon?” Alex is nostalgic.
Eliana who heard that chuckled as she remembered Alex falling onto Tedmon. Because He knew very well the incident, Eliana became the only eyewitness who witnessed the incident.
“No Alex, the first time we met was not then but when you arrived at Polsek time to pick up Indra. I saw you coming down anxiously holding Hendra. Back then there was no courage from me to rebuke you.” Eliana.
“Lantas, do you want to stay here?” Ask Alex to make sure. “Alex, not that fast you can directly tell me to stay in this house. Of course We need a wedding ceremony, approval between families and moreover We are still in college and have to finish college We first.” Eliana is serious.
“Daaannn... Do you know with my confidence all this time?” Eliana lowered her face to match the Duda's face. Alex was stunned and silent, He did not disturb the beliefs or religion of what Eliana embraced as long as He approached her.
“Are you not a Muslim Eliana?” Alex stared at Eliana and vice versa. “Ahhh, I'm guessing you don't know Alex. I'm a Christian.” Eliana Sahut.
Alex lowered his head, He knew he couldn't get the girl in front of him to convert to Islam just because he wanted to. Since Islam is a religion not to be believed because it wants to marry, it must be pure from the heart, just as he did in the past.
“Why are you silent Alex?” This time Eliana wanted to make sure. “Eliana I'm a Muallaf, and I don't want to go back to my religion as you once were. For me, Islam is the truest religion. But I also do not want to invite you into Islam based only on mutual love or mutual love. We all have our own beliefs. And to enter Islam must be with a pure heart upon the call of the Divine.” Obviously Alex was at length even though Eliana did not understand the last word mentioned by the cool Duda.
“Alex if I can be honest I really like you, even with a status that is not married and has three sons. But as for belief, it's a dead price. I also believe that my religion is the most true.” Eliana leaves Alex.
