Genius Children: Between Hate and Miss
"I'm Willing to Refer to You"

Jonathan invites his beloved wife into their new palace with Tania walking on the second side of his former in-laws. Jonathan's sturdy hand pushed the door open wide. Not over Miranda's shock because the husband gave a gift in the form of a dream house, now the middle-aged woman was again surprised by the presence of the servants who used to work at the house relics of both parents Miranda was lined up on the right and left.

"Pa, i-this ...." Miranda looked up at the face of the man who married her thirty-one years ago. The woman's voice choked until she could not finish her sentence.

"You're right, Ma, they're the servants who worked in our old residence. During this time I run a mission, I ordered them to take care of the house left by your parents so that the house is kept clean. I only hired Salamah to help you with housework."

"However, in the middle of the mission I was thinking of asking him out of the rented house because I felt it was time for you to start being independent, doing homework without anyone's help. Evidently since the departure of Salamah, you began to be good at cooking, taking care of our rented house alone even though it is not perfect, but I appreciate all your efforts," explained Jonathan while rubbing Miranda's back lovingly.

Miranda's eyes turned red and began to glaze over. Even a single crystal glided without him noticing. Inwardly grateful for God betrothed her to Jonathan, a faithful man who would accept her for who she was. If he had insisted on rejecting the match, perhaps today he would never have felt how beautiful the world is because it is surrounded by people who sincerely love him.

As everyone dissolved in the atmosphere, footsteps could be heard in the corner of the room. A little boy walked between two rows of servants bowing their heads before their mistress.

"Welcome home, Grandma. May happiness always be with Grandma."

Everyone turned to the owner of the voice. Miranda grew sobbing when she saw her beloved granddaughter standing in front of her.

The tiny hand was stretched out, wiping away the tears that were soaking down the cheeks. "Don't cry, Grandma! Arsen won't let Grandma be sad. Arsen will always make Grandma and Grandpa smile" Arsenio said, trying to persuade Miranda.

In addition to genius, apparently Arsenio has a high compassionate nature like the mother, Tania. His heart is soft as soft as silk so it cannot bear to see loved ones crying.

Putting that tiny body in a hug. He hugged Arsenio tightly as if afraid of her grandson leaving from her side. "O Lord, what good have I done in the past that You have bestowed grandchildren as good as Arsenio? My granddaughter is not only smart, but also very understanding. He brought happiness to us all."

"You're right, Ma. Arsenio is a precious treasure for our family" whispered Jonathan to Miranda. "From now on, we'll both help Tania raise Arsenio with all her great souls."

Miranda continued to shed tears between the two cheeks. His memory goes back to what happened seven years ago when he defamed his son-in-law in front of everyone. Never thought God would give him another chance to right the wrongs of the past.

And now, when the opportunity came, Miranda didn't want to waste her time. She wants to make amends to Tania and Arsenio by being Tania's grandmother and future best ex-mother-in-law.

As a form of gratitude, Jonathan held a barbeque event attended by his children, grandchildren and future son-in-law, Tania. Salamah and other servants also enlivened the event. There is no wall between them. Everyone was dissolved in a joyful atmosphere.

Glancing at the ex-husband, terbesit desire to invite the man to speak with four eyes without being disturbed by anyone because the topic of chat this time is so important that no one should bother them.

"Sir, please continue. I need to be with Xander for a while" Tania told one of the maidservants who happened to pass in front of her.

The female servant of about twenty-five years old nodded obediently and immediately helped Salamah. Tania steps closer to Xander.

"Xander, can we talk for a second? There's something important that I want to scab with you." Staring alternately at Xander and Jonathan. Tania hopes her dealings with her ex-husband are done soon. After all, Miranda's blessing had been bagged so that no more barriers could separate them.

"Go, let papa help Mr. Danang finish this all. You and Tania can talk seriously without worrying about any of this."

Xander walked side by side with Tania to the gazebo not too far from where Jonathan held a small party. From where they are today, the two can still see how everyone prepares dinner at Miranda's new home.

"More? What do you want to talk about?" xander asked starting their conversation. Little wonder what caused the woman who had beautiful eyes to ask him to speak with four eyes.

Tania bit her lower lip. "Ehm ... Xander, I actually asked you to talk alone because I wanted to talk about Arsenio's future. I thought carefully about your bargain a few days ago. The referral offer you made to me when we were about to go to my apartment. I have considered it and have made the decision to accept your offer. I'm .. willing to refer to you."

Stunned, that's what now happened to Xander. Never expected if it turns out Tania was willing to rebuild the household that had been destroyed due to misunderstanding. It is true that he hopes many will be able to live happily with Tania, Arsenio and their other children.

However, this was too sudden to make him distrust what he had heard. A few seconds asked, is this just a hallucination? Did Tania really accept her offer to refer to her and marry for the second time?

Xander fell silent, puzzled himself by the anticipated answer.

"Xander, why shut up? Is the offer no longer valid for me? Are you not referring to me anymore?" cecar Tania's. His heart was not because of seeing Xander's attitude that did not show any response. Negative thoughts come to mind. Thinking, if indeed Xander did not love him anymore until he was not willing to knit back the romance between them.

Xander took a deep breath and held the rumble inside the chest. Not wanting the woman to think no-no and make the night beautiful ended with a misunderstanding, she opened her mouth and prepared to say something.

"Nia, I'm actually ...."
