My Lovely Neighbour
confide
At the office, Rafa was not calm. He thought of the words of his mother who did not support him to bring Kayla to meet his biological mother. Nazwa's behavior that once hurt her feelings made Dian's mother hate her so much, even then Dian's mother had talked to Rafa that she would never forgive Nazwa until the end of her life. Miss Dian's hatred for her ex-daughter-in-law seems to have rusted.
Rafa certainly understands this because he still remembers very well how his mother's struggle in raising Kayla since Kayla was left by her biological mother when she was two months old. Ms. Dian is the one who takes care of Kayla. Dian's struggle in raising Kayla is highly appreciated Rafa.
Rafa who at that time just pioneered his business sometimes do not have time to take care of Kayla, so Dian's mom who takes care of Kayla because Rafa is very busy with her work. That certainly makes Rafa understand the reaction of his mother who was so angry when Rafa expressed his desire to bring Kayla with her biological mother.

It looks like Rafa is still engrossed in staring at his computer screen with a blank look. Not long after Rafa's workspace is knocked by someone making Rafa wake up from his daydream.
“Tok, tok...” I heard a knock from outside.
“Masuk...” says Rafa.
Mr. Ardi who is a waiter in the office entered Rafa's office.
“What's Mr Ardi?” asked Rafa while looking at Mr. Ardi.
“Father overtime huh?” ask Mr. Ardi.
“Indeed why Mr Ardi?”
“If Mr overtime, let me make hot coffee,” bargain pack Ardi friendly.
“Actually I am not overtime sir, but I am still lazy to go home,” explained Rafa.
Mr. Ardi immediately frowned feeling astonished by Rafa's words just now.
“Why lazy to go home Sir?”
“I again have a problem Mr. Ardi,” said Rafa.
“Trouble?” ask Mr. Ardi again.
Rafa nodded his head immediately.
“Please sit first Pak let kta story,” said Rafa.
Mr. Ardi has been very close to Rafa. Even though Rafa is the boss of Ardi, but Rafa in friends does not look at social class. Mr. Ardi is considered a friend even though the position in the company is different. Mr. Ardi is Rafa's subordinate. Since the establishment of this company, Mr. Ardi has been working but because Mr. Ardi graduated from SMP, so there could not be an increase in office. So Mr. Ardi's position as a servant in the company.
But in associating with Rafa, the position of Ardi and Rafa sir is the same. That is what Rafa does in getting along with his subordinates.
Regarding the run-down of Rafa's household, Mr. Ardi already knows a lot because Mr. Ardi confided in Rafa when he was going to divorce first.
“There is indeed a problem what sir?” ask Mr. Ardi.
Rafa was silent for a while and finally started telling Mr. Ardi about his chaotic feelings thinking about his desire to bring Kayla to meet his biological mother but was strongly opposed by his mother.
“Sorry sir Rafa, I just give advice. I think you should meet Kayla with her real mama. Moreover, you say that seeing the condition of his mother Kayla, the opportunity to live is likely very small. Indeed, we can not precede God because all God who governs, but if you see the condition of Kayla's mother like that, you must bring Kayla with her mother. Now the burden of the problem of the Father is his mother Father does not approve. So if my advice, try slowly you persuade your mother to allow Kayla to meet her mother. And one more duty of the Father, give understanding to his mother Father that God only forgives his people. Why do we humans not forgive each other. Maybe with his mother Father apologized to his mother Kayla, will give relief to his mother Kayla if later his life is not long,” explained Mr. Ardi.
“But the sir I'm thinking about right now, my mom is stubborn, hard to talk to. Especially from the beginning he did not like it.”
Mr. Ardi immediately smiled. “This is a test on the Father, so that the Father is more patient in dealing with this problem. Talk to your mom, not enough. If it doesn't change at all, try to talk about it again. But you also have to be gentle. There is no emotion so that the speech of the Father can be accepted. As hard as a stone if every day exposed to water, the stone will be destroyed sir. So too with my mom's feelings. If you talk every day about your wishes with a soft tone of speech, of course your argument will be accepted. Rest assured, surely you can accept the important thing, do not have emotions when you talk to your parents.”
After hearing a short lecture from Mr. Ardi, Rafa's heart began to calm down. He began to believe that his mother could definitely accept his request. If not now that is possible tomorrow, the important thing is to always be patient.

“Waalaikumsalam Pa..”

“Tomorrow is Sunday, so it's about eleven o'clock in the morning,” said bu Dian.

“But Kayla does not trouble Pa. Aunt Revi is happy. Aunt Revi was laughing when Kayla went to her house.”
