"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi..." Arya spoke from the corner where she was sitting, flanked by Hidayat's father and father-in-law.

"Wa'alaikum salam warahmatullahi wabarokatuh..." Their answers were in unison, and the atmosphere began to sound silent waiting for Arya to return words.

"Alhamdulillah, actually the arrival of Arya in addition to meeting the father and mother of the village, Arya also wants to convey good news for all of us..."

All eyes looked at Arya full of question marks and a sense of high curiosity.

"Alhamdulillah, Zahrana's novel best seller again..." Not yet he could continue his words, his throat felt blocked, while everyone in the room was getting quieter with a stunned face.

"Yes to Allah..." Say them almost simultaneously.

"Hidayat expected, Brother Zahra is great..." Say Hidayat with teary eyes.

"There's another novel of your brother, Yat? Which novel? How come you don't know?" Asked Bu Zainab a barrage of staring at Hidayat who was sitting far away opposite him.

Hidayat stood up and walked bowing between them toward his mother.

"It's a surprise for Mom..." Hidayat said as he hugged his mother, and Bu Zainab sounded a happy groan.

Everyone who gathered in the minimalist house also shed tears.

"The book of Zahra that Hidayat discovered at that time has been published, Ma'am... Previously Maira had also finished it, and then Bang Arya made it a beautiful novel in the hands of the publisher..." Said Hidayat while wiping his mother's tears, while his tears he let hold.

"Thank you, dear Maira..." Said Bu Zainab while holding Maira's hand on her left side, then turned to Arya who was also looking at her from the corner of the room. "Thank you, Aryan boy..."

Arya smiled as she nodded. "The PH side has also contacted Arya, ma'am... Waiting when we'll be ready if this novel is shown in theaters..."

Umayyad lips did not stop saying thanks. Tonight he remembered his deceased daughter. Just last afternoon he tried to hold back his tears at Zahrana's funeral, but tonight he could not hold back his tears.

"What's with the movie we're gonna see Zahra?" Tanya Umayyah was excited.

"We'll see it from someone else, Dad... We'll find someone who can really animate Zahrana's character..." Aryan Pledge.

"Then, do it..." Umayyah's orders while sighing heavily.

"God willing, Dad... The day after tomorrow there will be a fan meeting, and Maira is ready, yes..." Arya said with a steady heart.

"Huh?" Maira. "Why Maira, Bang?"

"Yes, Mai... I'm sure you can handle it all, because you're one of the authors of this novel..." Arya answered trying to convince Maira.

"But..." Maira looked at Hidayat.

"Abang will accompany Maira..." Hidayat replied as he nodded in agreement to Arya's request to his wife.

Long enough to talk, the women began to serve food. The noise started to praise the aroma of cooking, and momentarily forgot the haru feeling that had just struck the current atmosphere.
