Season 2: eps. 8

Five years have passed, but Angel still can not accept Helda as his mother. Angel also has not been able to accept Nana as his sister.

Initially Anton also does not want to marry again, he wants to be loyal to his wife Lucy Almarhumah.

But he often saw Angel crying because of Missing his Mother.

When he was five years old, he also often got a trick from his friends because he did not have Mama. Of course it often makes Angel shed tears.

Whenever he saw his friend with his mother, he would be envious.

It was also Anton's consideration to marry again. Although his new wife will not be able to replace the position Lucy in him and Angel's heart. At least Angel will be able to feel the affection of a Mother that Anton is unable to give.

But who would have thought, his good intentions even backfired in his house. Not only does Angel not get the affection of a Mother as Anton expected, but Angel instead becomes increasingly violent. Angel could never even accept Helda and Nana's presence in this house.

“Bang, here I make coffee for you.” Say Helda and break Anton's daydream.

“Tumben you're home at this time?” Ask Helda again.

“Thank you.” Anton sipped his coffee. “I just picked up Angel from a hotel owned by Rizky.” Further.

“Angel stay at hotel again?”

“Yes, you should not be discouraged by his attitude.”

“No, Bang. I will definitely understand him, just like always.” Helda said and smiled.

“I say thank you very much because you have been willing to be patient all this time.” Said Anton softly.

“I'm supposed to thank you, Bang. If it wasn't for your brother accepting me and Nana, both of our lives wouldn't be as good as they are today. Even Nana can become a Cardiologist as well thanks to your help.”

“Do not talk like that. Since you married me, Nana has also been my daughter. Of course his education is my responsibility.”

Helda was touched to hear Anton's words.

“I'm sure one day Angel will definitely be able to accept you as her mother. But we don't know when that's gonna happen. Now the most important thing is, you have to be patient in dealing with it. Don't hate it.” Pinta Anton's.

“Of course. I would never hate him. I've considered her like my own daughter even though we're not so familiar.” Sahut Helda's.

“Good. I'll be back at the office.” Anton moved from his seat.

Helda also moved from her seat, she was about to drive Anton to the front door.

“Oh yes, Nana has started working?” Ask Anton suddenly.

“Already, Bang. Nana has started working at the hospital.” Answer Helda.

“Good then.” Anton smiles.

Helda returned her smile.

In Angel's room.

He was crying looking at his mother's photo.

“Mama, why did you leave before I met you?”

“Look now, Papa already has a new family. Papa, Aunt Helda, Brother Nana. All three of them are complete families. We should be like that. But now I'm like the fourth person among them.”

“Mama, it should have been Mama who took me there to nature. Hiks hiks.”

Angel often complains in front of Lucy's photo. He always felt that he did not want to live longer.

Sometimes he thought about killing himself, but he did not dare to cut his pulse, jump from the building, crash his body on the truck, and other crazy things. He was horrified to do all that.

So, in order to calm his heart he was often alone and stayed at random hotels so that his father did not find him easily.

***

Hotelis.

Rizky's workspace.

When Rizky has some free time, he calls Sidik.

“Assalamu’alaikum, Sid.”

“Wa’alaikumussalam, Ky. You finally called me. Do you have free time now? Or do you remember your brother now? Hahahaa.” Sidik joked while laughing.

“Hahaha. I'm sorry I just called you now. Thank God Zara has made a decision.”

“Ma is Allah, that is the news I have been waiting for.” Sumringah. “Does he agree?” Ask.

“Zayn? From the beginning Zayn agreed. If I haven't asked her there's no way I'm talking about marriage with you.”

“Wah. It's good if that's true. I'm glad to hear it.”

“Tomorrow night we will go to your house to talk about the wedding date, how?” Ask Sidik.

“Good. I agree.”

After the two said the greeting the call ended.

Night at the Rizky family's.

Bi Sumi and Rini served dinner.

Aura, Zara and Rizky had dinner together.

After dinner, they have guests.

Chacha came to visit with her son and husband.

Bi Sumi welcomed her daughter with a happy sobbing. He had not seen his daughter for a long time.

Since marriage, Chacha has lived in the village with her husband and children. Bi Sumi and Pak Ujang who were already old could not go to the village because of the distance traveled quite far.

The two of them could only wait patiently for his daughter who came to visit the two of them.

“How are you, Ndok?” Bi Sumi asked after hugging Chacha for some time.

“Alhamdulillah well, Mom. We're all fine.” Chacha answered while wiping her tears.

“Alhamdulillah.” Bi Sumi.

Then he looked towards his grandson.

“Wah, Azam is now big. What class, baby?” Bi Sumi asked her grandson.

“Already sixth grade, Nek.” Answer Azam.

“Smart child, sholeh child.” Bi Sumi stroked Azam's head and then kissed his forehead.

Rizky, Aura and Zara let the Family let go of longing. They went to the living room to talk.

“How was your lecture today?” Ask Zara Rizky.

“Same as usual, Father.” Answer Zara.

“Aalhamdulillah's. Oh yes, tomorrow night the Zayn family will come here.” Rizky.

“What?” Zara shocked.”

“Why be surprised so?” Rizky.

“I'm not ready to meet Bang Zayn, Dad.” Zara answered with pampering.

“No need to be nervous. Just a two-family meeting. But maybe we will discuss your wedding date.” Rizky.

“Whose wedding date?” Asked Amir who suddenly appeared.

“Wedding date Om Amir donk!” Sahut Zara's.

“What?” Amir shocked.

“Oh yes. If you're here, come to the reading room. There are things you want to talk about with.” Pinta Rizky's.

“Good, Bang.” Amir followed Rizky from behind.

“Mother, what things do you want to talk about with Om Amir? Why go to the reading room?” Ask Zara who is kepo.

“Hmm.. Looks like your dad wants to talk about your future wife Om.” Aura replied with a smile.

“Waah, really? Good then. So I won't step over Om Amir, hehe.” Zara cengenesan's.

“If according to Mother, you will definitely get married first.”

“Why do you talk like that?”

“Because your partner already exists. While Om Amir his partner does not exist.” Answer Aura.
