Mohabbat
Starting From the Beginning

Laila was stunned in front of the door of her room. Intentions want to open the door forcibly, but urung done because of the sound of the Goddess in there.

"How's this? I've always been haunted by the fear of living here, but to go back to that house I don't want to." The goddess let out a heavy sigh, and Laila outside the room was still waiting for the continuation of her monologue.

"But looking around Daisha doesn't seem to take revenge on me, nor does she seem to hate me. Is all this just my feeling?" The goddess began to creep on his conscience.

Of course, stupid. You wicked witch will surely continue to be haunted by fear.

Laila growled, swearing in her heart. He was not happy that the Goddess was in that house, let alone occupying his room. So presumptuous!

"Do I need to start knowing him? Start making up with that woman? Hah, it feels impossible. I'd better just go," concluded Dewi ended his monologue while getting up ready to leave.

Laila hurriedly left from the front door and sat down on the terrace. Pretending to never get into the house and waiting for Daisha. Laila played the phone as footsteps knocked on the floor approaching the terrace.

Just glancing around without wanting to say hello, Dewi passed Laila just like that. Even with the teenager, there is no desire to just say hello or make small talk. They kept quiet and pouted each other.

"It's still arrogant, even though he lives in my house. The new quirks know the taste!" laila's curse is so caught off guard by the Goddess's haughty attitude.

"Please be patient, Miss. Maybe he has a hard time adapting to the environment of this house," said Bibi suddenly already standing behind Laila.

The teenager snorted, continuing to follow the Goddess's back away and missing along with the taxi carrying her.

"Why does he live here, Bi? Did you bring him?" laila asked not to cover up her hatred.

"Come, it was the young master who brought it in at dawn yesterday. Miss herself doesn't know," replied the potluck Aunt.

He turned around and entered the house followed by Laila who went straight to the living room. Lying on the couch watching television waiting for Daisha to return.

"Brake!"

Daisha wakes up Laila who is fast asleep on the sofa. The school uniform is still on his body. He looks tired.

"Laila! Awake, honey!"

The teenager looked up, slowly opened his eyelids and smiled at the older brother.

"Sister!" Laila hugged Daisha.

There was a great longing after a few days of not seeing each other.

"I miss my sister. Why don't you go back to the villa?" rengek Laila while releasing a hug.

Daisha smiled, gently rubbing the sister's hair in love. He missed that little girl too.

"Sister misses you too, but your room here is occupied by his mother Brother Dareen. You gonna stay the night?" daisha thought about where Laila would sleep.

"I'll sleep with Aunt alone in the back. I'm here because Aunt Areta didn't come to pick me up" Laila said slightly frowning.

Daisha rubs her head, telling her that Areta is staring while in their villa.

"So, Auntie's there? Can I stay there too? Closer to this house than to have to live in the woods there" he asked.

"Well, I could. Later in the afternoon Brother interra," he said.

For a while Laila stayed at Daisha's villa with Areta. Staying for a while or forever is okay. At home as usual Daisha does her job. Sometimes sweeping the floor, taking clothes from clothesline, also watering well-grown flower plants.

Dareen took the time to go to the office because Alfin was constantly contacting her. The two plan to become Bardy's rivals in the fight for Yeworks Company's vacant President's seat.

He returned home when the sun was nearing the western horizon. Daisha is still busy arranging the plants in the yard, arranging the flowers to make them more beautiful to look at. Dareen who saw firsthand was worried about his wife's situation.

"It's okay, brother. I also did it carefully" Daisha said unhappily.

However, Dareen was not happy. He took his wife into the house and left the yard in disarray.

"Don't do anything, I don't want anything to happen to you or our son. You need to be healthy" Dareen said as soon as he arrived at their room.

Daisha smiled happily, happily feeling the heart getting the attention of the husband. He nodded obediently, without any intention of refuting it.

"It seems like Mom hasn't come home yet, must be with her friends" Dareen murmured as she laid herself down in bed.

His mind was filled with plans for the sorority after tomorrow. Pensively staring at the ceiling of the room after leaving Daisha to make a drink. A warm cup of tea still reflected the smoke that Daisha brought near Dareen.

"Your mother's home, sister. She greeted me earlier, did you accept me?" daisha tells Dareen about the Goddess who ran into him in the kitchen while making tea.

"That's good, I hope you can accept" said Dareen look enthusiastic to hear the news.

He moved and hugged his wife.

Two days passed already, the day many people waited to attend a large meeting empty of the Chair of the President.

One by one the important people came to a hall that had been prepared for them. Bardy arrived early confidently. He sat in the chair before the meeting began.

At his house Dareen was preparing, outside Alfin was waiting to leave together.

"So you're going to present yourself as President? Is it okay like that? Where is the owner of the chair?" daisha asked while putting a tie around her husband's neck.

"Let's know, I'm still fairly new to the business world despite continuing my father's company. I don't believe in the abilities I have. Just pray for your husband, yeah. Hopefully what is best we always achieve," said Dareen asked his wife's blessing.

Daisha gamang, however, they will meet at the gathering only for one empty seat that should not be the grab of all parties. Today everything will be revealed and completed properly.

In Laila's room, Dewi had prepared to attend the event in exchange for Bardy because she had a small company under Yeworks Company.

The goddess came out after Dareen left with Alfin. Daisha was still standing in the doorway watching the flower plants that had been finished tidying up.

"Who tidied this up? Is Auntie?" ask him to yourself.

Daisha looks back at her body when she hears the sound of a knocking of heels on the floor of the house.

"Mrs, you go too?" pekik Daisha saw the mother-in-law who had been neat in her office suit.

That morning Dewi looked different, she was more friendly towards Daisha. After a few days of living together, little by little the Goddess finally got to know how Daisha is.

"Actually I want to talk to you-"

"Mother?" Daisha was surprised to hear that.

The goddess smiled, stung with guilt at heart for humbling her daughter-in-law and even refusing her presence.

"Well, from today can you call me Mom? You're my son-in-law and I'm your father-in-law. For everything that has happened, I apologize to you. I realized it wasn't worth it. Whoever you are and whatever your life is, you're still my son-in-law. The woman my son loved. I'm sorry, Son. I'm sorry, can we start over? The relationship between in-laws and daughters-in-law?" the Goddess is long.

Daisha was stunned, that morning it felt so different. Seeing the Goddess is like seeing a Mother who loves her children. This is what Auntie meant in that big house. He's actually a good guy, just that prestige trumps his kindness.

Daisha smiled, then nodded slowly. The goddess hugged him full of regret. Living with treasures made him forget where he came from.

"Thank you, son. Thank you very much" she said in Daisha's arms.

"The same, Mother."

The hearts of the two were full of serenity and peace was slowly present filling the empty soul. The Goddess will no longer feel alone, there is Daisha who will be her friend from now on.
