Istikharah
Fiesta


Arini and Leon are getting together with a big family. They held a barbeque at Hamdani's house. Ani and Retno were also present here.


In the backyard, Hamdani, Malvin and Mutiara were chatting while laughing. The pearl was holding Joseph because the baby boy did not want to sleep even though it was night. The starlight above the sky makes the situation even more vibrant.


Meanwhile, Arini and Leon sit by the pool and look around. Too bad Aldi is on duty, so can not follow this small event.


"Until when will things continue like this? Poor Jasmine," Arini said as she looked at Jasmine who was in Retno's arms.


Retno, Ani and Hamdani's domestic assistant are sitting in the kitchen enjoying a honey-baked chicken. They talked about their old jobs. Ani is a former TKI in Saudi Arabia. Ani recounted all her experiences while working in a country of people.


"Std... It's been. Don't think too much. I'm sure, someday Mama and Papa will be able to accept Jasmine" Leon said, hugging Arini tightly. He wanted to calm his wife. After all, all this mess Leon was the cause. Therefore, he must be responsible.


"Depart, Leon! Not good, we are seen," said Arini while pointing at the group of baby sitters and household assistants who were gossiping somehow while staring at them.


Leon let go of his embrace while looking back at the three of them. He became reminded of the incident a few days ago, where Retno and Ani were busy gossiping about him. Leon is sure, at this time must be the three are gossiping himself again. Women when they get together are annoying. Always talking about ria. Like there is no other job.


"You want to swim, don't you?" leon asked as he dipped his feet into the pool. "Bbrr cold." Leon immediately raised his feet as soon as he realized how cold the pool water was at night.


Arini shakes. "Cold."


Meanwhile at the corner table, exactly at the parents' place. They're talking about Arini and Leon.


"I can't accept Jasmine yet, you know, Mas" said Malvin. "My wife can't, either" he continued.


Hamdani and Malvin were brother and sister level when High School. Both have been close since school. And now when they become besan, how happy they are both. Their children are fooled.


Hamdani smiled broadly. "If I don't want to interfere in the affairs of the child, Vin. I already consider Jasmine as my granddaughter. My mother's past has been forgotten" Hamdani said. He then sipped his warm coffee. Yes, although Hamdani was angry with Leon and his other wives, but now Hamdani has forgiven that. Diana and Becca are now dead, and Leon and Calina are divorced. It doesn't feel good to hold grudges on people who have died.


"I can't do that, Mom. If you don't like it, it's hard to forget" said Pearl.


"Other than me." Malvin.


Hamdani was not thinking. In retrospect, he should be angry and upset. Because the only daughter in the game by the man who became her husband.


But this was even reversed, Leon's parents were upset half-dead to Leon. Even innocent babies are enemies.


"But maybe one day we can accept Jasmine. It's a pity that innocent babies are in the enemy, too" Malvin said as he looked at Arini and Leon sitting by the pool.


"Yes, hopefully so," Hamdani said.


Sometimes we need time to forgive someone. Can't just forgive him.


"It seems that Joseph was getting sleepy. I want to take Joseph to the room first, Mas," said Pearl standing up.


"Yes yes. Go straight to the room" said Hamdani.


Malvin and Hamdani. Both are nostalgic for the stories of the past.


Hamdani used to love Pearls, but even Malvin was liked by Pearls. Indeed, Hamdani never expressed his heart to Pearl directly, he just harbored it in his heart. Therefore the pearl does not know the heart of Hamdani. Until now, neither Pearl nor Malvin knew. Because Hamdani is good at hiding secrets.


The pearl itself is the same age as Hamdani, just different schools. So, Malvin is a pearl brong. If you are a soul mate, what do you say?


Arini with Leon and her two children and baby sitter stay at Hamdani's house. Her father and mother-in-law went home last night.


"Can I swim no, Mom?" ask Ani. Ani himself since first coming to the house Hamdani has immediately wanted to try the swimming pool. Back when he was young Ani was a district-level swimming athlete.


"Bye, Bude. Invite Bude Retno also can," said Arini. He was drying Joseph and Jasmine.


"Mr Retno can't swim, ma'am. He swims in the style of a rock. Drowned and never appeared" Ani said with a laugh.


Arini's just a head bobble.


Ani then rushed to swim alone. Maybe if at Becca's house there is a swimming pool, surely Ani will swim every day.


"Jasmine, Honey. Here, Son!" Arini called Jasmine to come closer, because the baby girl was already far from Arini.


Jasmine who knew herself was being summoned, immediately ran towards Arini. But unfortunately, he fell because he was too excited to run.


Just as Arini was about to help, Jasmine had already woken up by herself. He's not crying.


"Smart child," praised Arini when Jasmine is already nearby.


Leon who was neat with his work clothes approached Arini. "Darling, I'm leaving, huh?" leon said goodbye to Arini.


"Yes. Be careful," Arini's message.


Actually today Leon wants a day off. But he has a meeting schedule with one of the important clients. So can't take a day off.


"Yes" replied Leon. He rushed to his office.


"Rin..."


Arini looked back, where there was the figure of her father there.


"What's up, Pa?" arini asked as she looked in wonder at her father's neat appearance. Where is his father going so early in the morning?


"Papa's going to Mama's grave. Titip's home, huh?" hamdani said while putting buttons on his arms.


Arini nodded. "Be careful, Pa," said Arini.


"Yes" said Hamdani as he passed.


Arini looked at her father's increasingly lost back. At least once a month Arini will definitely visit his mother's grave. Suddenly he missed his mother.


Plaque!


Arini's face was tabooed by little Jasmine. Maybe the baby is upset to see his mother just daydreaming.


"Jasmine dared to hit Mama, huh? Hm?" Arini tickled Jasmine's stomach and made the baby laugh out loud.
