Juan blinked, the man woke up first and saw the clock on the phone, but he got a message from the father. Juan went very slowly because he did not want to disturb his wife who was still asleep. He went outside and sat on the porch, Juan reading the message while massaging his temple.
"What should I do?" muttered.
The day had begun to afternoon, Juan kept daydreaming until he did not realize someone there had even sat in front of him. Yes, Novan is sitting there. The man was a little confused usually his boss would nag if he was with him but this time it was not. Juan also intends to go back inside and does not respond to the existence of his assistant.
"You're what's wrong? Didn't you see my whereabouts?" ask Novan.
"Be quiet, I'm dizzy again" replied Juan waltzing inside.
"Why him? Is there a problem or may they quarrel with the Sahara," he murmured while touching his chin for thinking.
"Don't think no, I can't possibly fight with my wife!" juan is still at the door. Novan turned his head and smiled awkwardly while scratching his head that did not itch.
"Then why is it so pouting? Not usually, let's tell you who knows I can help you." Novaan's remarks made Juan sit back and ask the man something, who knows Novan and bi Ranum know the massalu Sahara family.
"Do you know anything about my wife's parents?" ask Juan.
Novan frowned. "Why ask that? Is this why you didn't go to the office? Has Sahara met her mother?"
"So you know about mama Sahara? Do you also know why her mother left her?"
"I don't know, all I know is that mama Sahara is alive. But it looks like my mom knows about this because my mom's friends with Mama Sahara."
"Can I meet your mother?" said Juan.
"Come along" asked Novan.

"Yes, so that's the story. Jihan went with the other men. Aunty does not know for sure the reason why Jihan left, which is clear Jihan loves her family very much. Grandma Sahida does not like her daughter-in-law because she often wanders at night, but Bibi knows that she helps the family economy. Jihan works at the club as a waitress."
Juan continued to listen to Ranum's story until he concluded that his papa was involved. Or maybe her mom left because of her dad? thought. But Jihan's struggle made her touched, so unfortunately to her family Jihan willing to slam bones to help her husband who was sickly.
Sahara should not hate her mother, she should bring her mother and his wife together. Without Sahida knowing, Juan will devise a plan to get things back to normal.
"Can you help me get my wife to meet her mother?" juan asked Novan.
"Yes, I'll help you. But try to persuade him first, who knows Sahara would. I'm alone again dizzy in the office, I'm still new there continue to have to replace you."
"Yes, you take care of the office. All I leave to you, I'll give you a bonus" Juan said.
A bonus? Will this be the beginning of his career? Hopefully, he can't wait to prove that he's worthy of Nadien.
"All right, I'm home. Thanks for the info, Bi?" Juan was saying goodbye and would tell him everything Sahara his mother who loved him very much.

"Are you awake?" Juan approached and kissed his wife's head.
"What's Abis doing from Novan's house?" ask Sahara without looking.
"Abis went to see bi Ranum" Juan replied.
"For what?" Intrigued, Sahara turned and saw her husband's face.
"looking for info about mama, bi Ranum quite know their story I was crying to hear the story of mama Jihan, she loved her family and she also loved you very much," explained Juan.
"If she loves me she can't leave me" Sahara said.
"Bi Ranum doesn't know why your mom left that she obviously loves you, don't you want to hear the reason why you left? Everyone has mistakes in the past, do you not want to give mama a chance? Don't you want to regroup?"
"I want to, but it seems like grandma does not accept the attitude of mama who left my papa. My father died because he wanted to chase after my mother who went with other men. That means you don't want to live hard and instead go pick rich men." Given her grandmother's story, Sahara was not so sure that her mother loved her very much.
As they chatted, suddenly a guest arrived. The guest immediately entered and Sahida immediately kicked him out. Who else would the guest be if not Jihan and Ardinata, only Jihan made Sahida go berserk.
Sahara and Juan who heard her go straight to the living room.
"Rara," call Jihan. Jihan came despite being prevented by her husband. "Mama wants us to talk" Jihan said.
"There's nothing to talk about, Jihan. You're happy, you have a whole family, you've got rich men, too" Sahida said.
"Mom, this isn't what I imagined. I'm doing this for my son and my husband" Jihan said.
"Whatdidyou say? For the sake of the child and husband! Did I not hear wrong? Obviously you went to pick a rich man with my sickly son" Sahida said.
"Quite cornering my wife, she's not wrong. I should be thanking your daughter-in-law, otherwise she might have your son die from his illness. Jihan's paying for your son's treatment, ma'am. Mom shouldn't have acted that way, she's also tormented to part with her family and I'm sorry. It's all because I gave Jihan the conditions. Every day my wife cries, and why did you change Rara's name? We were looking for her because her name wasn't Rara so we didn't find her. Why did you change Rara's name?" ask Ardinata.
Sahida was silent for a while. "Go! As long as you go, don't make a fuss in my house!" expel Sahida.
"Sir" protests the Sahara who still wants to hear her mother's story.
"Why? Do you want to go with your mom?" ask Sahida. "What good is the cost of the operation if you end up dying because you want to pursue a wife who went with other men?" Sahida didn't accept it because her son was gone forever. Any mother would feel tremendous pain if left for dead.
Sahara was silent because only this time her grandmother looked angry. "Without your mama you're alive, and now she wants to take you from me! Not enough to make me lose my son, huh?" sahida said while looking at Jihan's lowered face. "You want to take my granddaughter and bring her that?"
"No, Ma. I just want Rara to know how much I love her, I won't lose Rara" Jihan explained.
"Omong empty! Just go! I said go!" expel Sahida.
