The day turned.close to the wedding day of Yudha and Qumil. Not only the family of doctors Rendra and Mr. Ridwan are busy, Najma is also busy helping, therefore the marriage of Qumil who is like his own biological sister. Moreover, the family of Mr. Ridwan also who has contributed to accompany Najma during his marriage.


Najma is in charge of the wedding attire and the Qumil family. There are also three thousand souvenirs. Ardi was also busy with his operations.


"Ris, what's the souvenir?" najma asked Risma.


"Still packing process Mba," said Risma.


"Below ya, I want to see" Najma followed Risma and then went down in the back room. There seemed some employees were wrapping a heart-shaped hugging pillow, of course made from perca, with a slick color gradation, so it looks elegant. Moreover, wrapped in white color glass cloth, the more luxurious it looks. Helena deliberately chose simple yet elegant souvenirs, because their invitations were important people in this city.


"Udah, good, then put it in the cardboard and store it in the back garage yes, I want to go to the convection place to check the wedding dress," said Najma to her employees.


Upon arrival at the convection, Najma immediately went up to the third floor where her second in-laws office was located.


"Assalamualaikum," said Najma.


"Waalaikumusalam,"


"Why is it here?" asked Najma who was surprised to see Ardi with her parents. Najma then kissed the back of her third hand alternately with reverence.


"Yes, I want to surprise you, said your mother wanted to come here, yes already this lunch hour I am here alone," said Ardi who mentoel cheek Najma who just lowered her veil.


"She wants to check on Qumil's dress" said Najma who looks tired.


"Eat first yuk," asked Rahman.


"Yes was brought marni marni vegetable clear moringa, pepes tofu, the same fried catfish," said Hamida.


"That sounds so good, Babe took it for me" Pinta Ardi said.


Najma immediately takes a meal for Ardi, so does Hamida take also for Rahman. Then take it for themselves and eat together.


"You don't get tired, that's enough, right?" ask Hamida.


"No Ma, no tired, really happy" said Najma.


"Apaan, must be tired tuh Ma, if it's too late to sleep, it can not be disturbed," said Ardi.


"Ga there is rich that way, when Mas go home I must wake up, Mas Ardi tuh Ma who is tired, the same morning operation is malem, the return of midnight," Najma so joined the complaint.


"You guys are fighting," Hamida interceded. Rahman also laughed at the child and daughter-in-law.


"So not for Ama aja, Ardi also do not be tired, Ama is a lot of employees, do not intervene alone all, tell help his employees, you stay ngawasin aja, Ardi too, Ardi also, if not emergency surgery, once a day only, your operation is difficult and long, the eyes must be tired, the shoulders are also right, if it has been all soybean until home yes sleep doang, no communication, no communication, later in the morning it is separated again," said Rahman, Ardi and Najma solemnly listening.


"Yes Pa" said Ardi, while Najma just nodded.


"Don't do it, Lakanin, if you get sick, the Hospital is easy to find instead, call a guest doctor, or the patient is referred, but your family is sad," Rahman continued.


So Ardi thought, true also what his father said, money can be sought, but health can not be bought with anything.


"All right in the Lord later I'll reschedule my operation" said Ardi.


After lunch, and seeing the progress of Qumil's wedding dress and the family uniform, the two of them leave the convection, Ardi heads to the hospital for a patient visit, while Najma returns home.


"Assalamualaikum" said Najma when entering his house.


"Dindaaa.." said Najma when she saw Dinda playing by herself near the kitchen accompanying her mother to wash dishes. Najma felt anxious to see the little girl who was starting to talk and walk.


"Ate.(.Auntie)" said Dinda.


"This is aunty bawain bread from the office," said Najma, giving a bag containing several pieces of sweet bread.


"Mba, thanks for the hassle, almost every day Dinda brought snacks," said Bu Ani, feeling awkward.


"Ga papa ma'am, I'm happy to be accompanied by Dinda's mother, so it's not lonely anymore,"


"Let's make dinner want to be prepared what Mba?" ask Ani ma'am.


"Ehmm. what yes. uh it's aja ma'am, galangal chicken in the freezer please remove, mom make sambel tomato aja yes, same seasoning tempe, later tonight let me fry before eating," sahut Najma's.


"Oh, well Mba,"


"I went upstairs, Mom, was uncomfortable, wanted to take a shower," said Najma then immediately to her room.


Two hours later Ardi's car entered the garage, and Ardi emerged from the door connected from the garage to the kitchen.


"Assalamualaikum" said Ardi.


"Waalaikumusalam," replied Ani who seemed ready to go home.


"Om.." call Dinda.


"Hi Dinda, for a moment, Om would wash his hands first, Om's hands dirty," said Ardi then wash his hands in the sink.


"It's clean, it's ready to pinch Dinda's cheek!!!" exclaiming Ardi then chasing the girl with the cheek of the puffer, Dinda and Ardi ran to and fro and finally Ardi caught and held Dinda.


Ardi looks very happy to play with Dinda, and the scene is seen by Najma from the door of his room. It was undeniable that his heart felt sad, not because he was jealous of Dinda, but sad because he never had children either..


How happy if the one who is carried and makes Ardi so happy is the fruit of their love.


Ardi, who saw Najma looking at him, as if he knew Najma's heart, immediately lowered Dinda from her sling.


"Dinda want to go home? Tomorrow we play again yes" said Ardi


"Yes Om" said Dinda.


"Da da.." said Ardi who waved at Dinda who was almost out the door.


"Da.da.." said Dinda reply to the wave of Ardi's hand.


Ardi looked back at Najma, but his wife was no longer in front of the room. Ardi immediately followed Najma to the room.


"Assalamualaikum" said Ardi when opening the door.


"Waalaikumusalam Mas," said Najma who immediately stood up to greet Ardi, kissed the back of her husband's hand with reverence, and Ardi replied with a kiss on the forehead, then Najma drowned herself in Ardi's arms.


"My baby.. Why? I stink of this sweat, hugging it,"


"Let Mas, I love this smell of yours, the smell of your tiredness that makes a living for me,"
