"I have business this afternoon, what's wrong?" ask Ara politely.
"Mommy I just got home from the umrahnya a week ago. Later that night at home there is a dinner, do you want to come home?" ask Ali politely.
"Thank you for the invitation, brother, but I'm so sorry. I'm meeting an old friend this afternoon in the Braga area. Sorry, brother" said Ara refused carefully.
"Oh so, yasudah next time you come yes Ra" said Ali a little disappointed.
"God willing, Brother Al, greetings to Mami and a sister's family. Then excuse me, Assalammualaikum" said Ara passed away, because it was time for her to go home from the morning shift.
"Waalaikumsalam, Be careful Ra" said Ali slightly shouting.
"If you knew Ra, since 6 months ago we have been greeting each other in this city I already know that you are that woman. The woman I met in front of the mosque in Karang Lewas 2 years ago" he muttered in his heart and recalled the incident he met with Ara.

"Alhamdulillah well too, how is your content of the Fa? how many months' road?" asked Ara smiling.
"Have entered 5 months Mba, rarely cravings, nausea2 like that is rare Mba, know maybe the dedenya because the Abinya is rarely at home" said Shafa while stroking his stomach that began to bulge.
"Adi is busy, yes, so where do you want to go? Bandung or where?" ask Ara curiously.
"In Bandung aja Mba, because all the family is here. I don't teach anymore either. Aa Adi is busy so I also fear that the lahiran in Jakarta" said Shafa smiling.
Shafa and Adi are two people who should have married not Melia Shafa's sister. Shafa accepted Adi as his imam, because from childhood Shafa knew the figure of Adi who every day Lebaran must visit Bandung. The age of those who are adrift 4 years makes Adi protect Shafa.
"I didn't expect it, my best friend Adi married my acquaintance. The world is narrow, yes Fa" said Ara.
"This is how Mba, I also did not expect that Mba is the former most beautiful Aa Adi" said Shafa with a smile.
"Ah you can aja Fa, I'm the same Adi that both keep the soul mate, I take care of your soul mate. Well the Adi nih keep his soul mate who wkwkwkwk" said Ara with a laugh.
"Sooh brother himself Mba, soon we will be a brother-in-law. I'm so glad we could be sisters-in-law. Allah's scenario is the best" Shafa said, drinking his cold chocolate milk.
"Mba? is Mba's relationship the same as Aa Farhan's?" ask Shafa who is starting to feel something is wrong.
"It's been 2 years Fa, I haven't been able to give that answer. Have I gone too far?" tanya Ara started to get agitated.
"Have Istikharah prayed and asked for guidance from Allah SWT?" ask Shafa to remind.
"Not the Fa, I'm honest. I love you, Farhan. But I don't think I'm the best for her Fa." said Ara pessimistically.
"Don't do it or Mba, nih well. 2 years old loh Mba, you two did not meet even did not exchange news. That's what? and you haven't found your own partner yet. Gini aja, tonight come with me to the house yes, Rissa Tea and Tina Tea birthday tomorrow, but it will be celebrated later tonight. Aa Aan also came, and he said he wanted to work in Bandung while waiting for Mom" Shafa's suggestion made Ara surprised.
"Mas Farhan in Bandung?" asked Ara surprised.
"Yes Mba" Shafa replied directly but his eyes looked at Ara's stairs because her beloved husband had just come.
"Loh Bi's? how do I know Ummi's here?" asked Shafa who was surprised.
"Assalamu'alaikum first" said Adi reached out.
"Waalaikumsalam" said Shafa, kissing her husband's hand.
Adi sat next to his wife, still wearing his pilot uniform.
"Loe just finished work?" ask Ara who was astonished.
"Yes for the sake of his beloved wife" said Adi relaxed and rubbed Shafa's stomach.
"Buciiinnn" said Ara, looking away at the window and thinking of Shafa's words about Farhan.
"Oh yes, Brother Farhan with me earlier. Well that's it" Adi said as he looked up at the stairs and Farhan's figure sailed his way towards the table where the three of them were sitting.
"Assalamu'alaikum" Farhan said politely.
Shafa moved to sit next to Ara, while Farhan sat next to Adi and faced Ara directly.
"Waalaikumsalam" said the three.
