Fathi had arrived in front of the Sultan's office he was ushered in a private driver. Fathi held Kayla while carrying the lunchbox for their lunch.
As promised, he will come at lunch. He went inside and stepped into the elevator.
“ Sorry Mom, but it is forbidden to enter except employees. If there is a need to be delivered at the receptionist section Bu.”
Someone prevented it.
Fathi sighed, and went to the reception.
“ Sorry to meet Mr Sultan Alfarizki?”
“ Mom already has an appointment?”
“ Already.”
“ Well wait a minute Mom yes, I confirm first with her secretary. Sorry about whose mom?”
“ With Mother Fathi.”
“ Ok for a minute.” Fathi read the name tag on the clothes of the woman who was calling, Rosdiana.
“ Sorry Mom, Mr. Sultan is out. Mom please wait in the lobby, if you want to wait.”
“ Alright thank you.”
Finally what happened to her was afraid, Kayla asked Fathi to come down. He who was troubled also lowered Kayla. He took Kayla to sit on the lobby sofa.
Where her husband went, didn't he know that he was going to his office to take lunch.
“ Mom.. milk.” Kayla asks for milk. Fathi pulled out a pacifier of milk.
Kayla sits on the sofa with hern. Fathi tried to call Sultan.
The phone is off inactive. Fathi closed his phone and put it on the table.
He looked around, many were staring at him and whispering whispered with his friend. He is the most lazy if he has to be the center of attention. Did he just go home?
He stared at the food he was carrying and kept on the table. Too bad the food was still a lot, ah yes he just went to Resty temple and had lunch with Resrty.
Fathi held Kayla, and she took the provisions she had brought and was about to leave.
“Wait..!”
Someone shouted. Fathi kept going.
“ Fathiyah !”
The man called.
Fathiyah stopped and looked back. The Sultan was walking quickly towards him. Fathi frowned in wonder.
" You were in the office?" Fathi asked after the Sultan was in his presence.
" Yes, I'm waiting for you. But because long ago I finally came down to wait for you downstairs. Why don't you go upstairs and get out ?"
" I've been waiting a long time for you in the lobby. Kayla's milk is gone one bottle. Rosdiana said you were out and told me to wait here. Because I've been wanting to go home for a long time .Want to go to his office Resty aja ngajakin lunch together. baby right if the provisions I bring are not to eat ?" Fathi explained at length.
" What? you've been here since ? "
" Yes "
" ERIK !" The Sultan shouted calling Erik his personal assistant.
" I told you, if anyone named Fathi comes and tells you to go straight into my room."
" Yes, sir, I have conveyed it to your secretary. "
" You should if you are in love mandate do it to completion, do not just convey then stand by. You check if the person has arrived. I ordered it because he's an important person. I am wrong to rely on you. Like you were wrong to rely on my secretary. "
" I'm sorry, sir, I was wrong. "
" Call Rosdiana here?"
" Good sir."
" Pope..!" Kayla calls out to the Sultan
" Yes dear, sorry dear Papah. You must be pissed off waiting a long time." Sultan holds Kayla.
" Let's sit on the couch for a second, I'm gonna get this done. I'll keep my word with you."
They stepped towards the sofa where Fathi was sitting.
" You're Rosdiana ? "
" yes..Mr ."
" Why did you say I came out and told this woman to wait for me here. "
"Hm.that's sir, I've called the master's secretary and said someone is looking for the master. But he said the master doesn't exist."
" Erik.kamu take care of everything. I don't tolerate anything, fire them. And I tell you all, this is Fathiyah Azahra my wife and Kayla my son."
" Let's love us upstairs ..." He said to Fathi.
They also went to the Sultan's room.
***
Mala was completely stuck after she had lunch with Reyhan yesterday. He immediately resigned. Now he's here. In Reyhan's office.
Reyhan made Mala his secretary.
Reyhan invited Mala to lunch. But Mala refused. He chose to go with his friends at the reunion, he said.
Reyhan wasn't pushy, he didn't want to make Mala uncomfortable.
In a job relationship Reyhan is indeed professional.
While Hani began to feel the seeds of love for Hasbi. But he knew Hasbi was married, so he suppressed those feelings. He does not want to hurt a wife. She's a woman too. He does not want to ruin the happiness of others. Especially the happiness of the person he loves.
He will remove this feeling by keeping his distance from Hasbi. He will not have lunch together again.
As if he was eating in the cafeteria. Hani deliberately did not bring lunch.
Hasbi was astonished by Hani's attitude which seemed to keep her distance. No more her cheerful and chatty smile that keeps her entertained and feeling not lonely. That's why he's more at the office. At home he felt lonely and bland.
***
3 Months passed. Today is the wedding reception day of Fathiyah Azahra and Sultan Alfarizki . Hasbi was shocked to receive the invitation 2 weeks ago.
Although he has divorced but there is a sense of unwillingness and pain when he knows Fathi will marry again. He is happy if Fathi has found a good partner for him, he really does pray that Fathi is always happy.
Hasbi smiled, looking at them in the undercover. He was waiting in line to congratulate the bride. Is this what Fathi felt when she remarried Mala? even then their relationship was still husband and wife. It must hurt more. Is this Fathi's smile? You have to smile even if your heart is hurt to show that it is okay. Her tears were gone that night. The night he received Fathi's invitation. Now he understands why Fathi prefers divorce.
Mala accompanied Hasbi, she frowned because Hasbi was busy with her own thoughts and did not consider them to exist.
Mala saw Amih and Apih in front were shaking hands with the bride. Amih cried at Fathi and prayed that Fathi would be happy.
Mala also saw Reyhan with his wife and son. They are like a happy little family. It may be true that Reyhan asked her to work to atone for her guilt instead of returning to him.
Why did his heart suddenly feel empty and lonely in this crowded place, he felt foreign. He felt his life was sad. There is no love for him. Hasbi is with her out of debt and promise, while Rey is kind to her for feeling guilty about her.
Mala's face that looks gloomy and sad to be the attention of a Reyhan. She saw Mala and her husband as strangers to each other.
Reyhan's fixed gaze on Mala was caught by his wife. Ria smiled .
" Is he the one?" Ask Ria.
Reyhan looked at his wife.
" The woman you told me about ?" Ria clarifies.
" Yes dear. He's the one ." Reyhan replied while nodding.
" He was beautiful but there was sadness and pain in his eyes. When are you going to say it and give her happiness ?"
" Ria, Mas won't do it. All has happened you are my destiny now whereas Mala is only the past ."
" No Mas, like Mami's message I will bring back your happiness and Mala . I'm ready whenever you want to be with him. You've managed to persuade him to become your secretary in the next stage. Come on, you can't conquer a woman's heart. "
" Ria, aren't you hurt when you ask me this, is it because you don't love me?
" No, precisely because I love you I want to give you the best. So I'll go quietly. I can meet Mami and tell her I made you happy."
" Ria your attitude has made it easy for me to accept you in my life, Mami did not choose you wrong. Mami's right you're easy to make people love you. Your heart is sincere, I love you ."
" Thank you for your love and kindness. I love you too. "
They smile at each other. Ria leaned her head on Reyhan's shoulder.
Their affection did not escape the attention of Kemala.
