"I'm not here for you. But for the kids!" inner Dzakiyya so got off the car.
The last time Dzakiyya set foot in this place was supposed to be when Abidzar honeymooned with Nafisa first. Precisely when Joshua slandered him that he was 'housed' by Abidzar.
After a long time, Dzakiyya thought no one recognized him anymore. But her guess was wrong because as soon as she entered, those who passed by immediately greeted her and teased the adorable Farah and Fauza.
"Good day, Mom!"
"Hello! Farah and Fauza, huh?"
"Definitely want to find papa!"
The warm welcome continued to arrive until it made Dzakiyya wrong. He had no idea Farah and Fauza were so popular at the company that this was the first time they had set foot here. Fortunately Abidzar's assistant who happened to cross saw him. The man not only asked the employee to return to work, but also escorted Dzakiyya to Abdizar's room.
"Mrs President, it's been a long time you haven't come!" the secretary named Yusuf said kindly.
"Ah, I've been busy lately" replied Dzakiyya.
Joseph also helped Dzakiyya carry his luggage. Then turned his gaze to Farah and Fauza, making the two boys wave and smile while showing their white teeth.
"Om, Fa Fa wants to eat with papi!" said Farah and Fauza while showing his provisions.
"Well, it just so happens that your papi hasn't eaten yet. Come on, let's get Papi's room?" take Yusuf.
Joseph looked pleased. Understandably, he had previously delivered lunch to Abidzar but was not touched by busy reasons. Abidzar even threw him out because he thought it was too chatty.

"Lake in!" Abidzar.
The man is still in the same position. Sitting facing the laptop to finish his heap of work as Joseph saw last time. But when he saw who had come Abidzar drove him out. Even Abidzar said the words that made Joseph sweat coldly.
"You again? Didn't I say I didn't want to be bothered by anyone?" ask Abidzar.
The man was busy with his job. Unknowingly Dzakiyya and her little fairies stood a few steps behind Joseph. Hearing Abidzar's words just now, Joseph automatically began to panic. Especially when looking back and found Farah and Fauza put on a pouty face.
"Boss, it looks like your marriage really won't be saved!" aspersons Yusuf.
If calculated since Dzakiyya was pregnant, Abdizar and Dzakiyya should have separated the house for 7 years. During this time Joseph heard songs of longing and regret from Abidzar. And now, after Dzakiyya had kindly brought her children here, who would have thought Abidzar would say such a sacred sentence.
"P-Presdir t-but,-"
Joseph had not finished his sentence. But Dzakiyya had already spoken by comforting Farah and Fauza before they cried.
"Dear, it's okay. Papi is busy. So don't cry, okay?" Dzakiyya.
The sound was so slow. But can be heard Abidzar and successfully make his heart almost loose.
"That voice? Dz-Dzakiyya?" mummified Abidzar.
The man immediately got up. Run towards the door to ascertain who the owner of the voice was. Joseph reflexively stepped aside so that Abidzar could see Dzakiyya kneeling to calm his two children whose eyes were already glazed over.
"The Dza? Th-that's you?" ask Abdizar.
Dzakiyya. After a long time, they finally came face to face. Abdizar's heart skipped a beat as soon as he looked back at the pair of beaded-like eyes. This feeling reminded him of his first meeting with Dzakiyya during his first lecture. Dzakiyya's eyes were still so shady, unfortunately implying anger because Abdizar made Farah and Fauza sad.
"They want to eat with you. But what are you doing?" ask Dzakiyya.
Abidzar began to wave. Understandably, he was used to being ignored all this time. So as soon as Dzakiyya responded to her question, she did not know what to answer. Luckily Joseph was still there. So Abidzar could use it as a scapegoat.
Abdizar pointed at Yusuf who could only protest through the gaze of his eyes. But for the sake of the happiness of his superiors, Joseph did not mind and chose silence. After that Abidzar immediately grabbed the twins into his arms to apologize.
"Darling, sorry! Papi didn't mean to throw you out. Papi was just a little upset because om was annoying. Sorry papi yah?" Abidzar.
Farah and Fauza looked to nod. Then the slide in Abdizar's arms rested his head on his papi's shoulders.
"Today, you take care of them. Make sure to drop them off before seven in the evening" Dzakiyya said.
Dzakiyya handed over the lunch he had prepared to three people. Joseph hurried to put a bag of Farah and Fauza's belongings into Abidzar's room. Then leave because they don't want to disturb them.
"You don't want to stay?" ask Abidzar.
"No!" answer Dzakiyya.
Dzakiyya turned around. Intend to go home and let the children spend time with the papa. But before Dzakiyya went any further Abdizar had whispered something to Farah and Fauza. Ask them to stop their mama. For 7 years Abidzar did not spend time with Dzakiyya. So despite his cunning ways, he would not let Dzakiyya go so easily.
"Mommy, don't go!" scream Fauza.
"Farah wants to eat accompanied by mami sama papi!" said Farah.
Not just screaming. They also ran and pulled her hand.
"You told them, right?" ask Dzakiyya.
Abidzar looked down for a moment. Then he smiled and waved his hand at Farah and Fauza. And when the two boys were in his arms, Abdizar answered Dzakiyya.
"Yes, I told them to. I'm sorry, but I don't know what else to do so you'll spend time with me for a while" Abidzar replied.
Abidzar seemed to approach Dzakiyya. Dzakiyya took a few steps back. But Abidzar is much faster. For before Dzakiyya had escaped, Abidzar's burly hand had already drawn Dzakiyya's hand and embraced her.
"Dear, I miss you so much! Please come back with me!" whispered Abidzar.
The man looked so serious. Serious with his speech was also serious with his embrace getting tighter. His sharp nose even dared to sniff out the fragrant scent he yearned for every night.
"What are you doing. Farah and Fauza look at you!" dzakiyya.
Dzakiyya tried to let go of Abidzar's embrace. But Abidzar did not plan to release Dzakiyya. Meanwhile, Farah and Fauza seemed to be glued to his place. For the first time they finally saw the papi and her mom hugging.
"Fauza, are mami and papi better?" ask Farah.
"Don't know!" answer Fauza.
The two little women looked at each other. Then smile giggling before whispering to remind each other of the task given Om Ral yesterday.
Flashback.
"Do you really want a sister?" ask Ral.
Farah and Fauza nodded. Ral looked around, making sure no one heard their conversation.
"Then you have to take your mom to go to the papi house and stay there. Or force papi to stay at home mommy. That way maybe you can have a sister" whispered Ral.
"Just like that?" ask Farah and Fauza.
"It's just like that. You can, right?" ask Ral.
"Can!" answer Farah and Fauza.
