The Desired Angel of Heaven
Chapter 100
The dining room was quiet. Faiq and Darmawan just went to the office. Usually at the end of the year like this both are increasingly preoccupied with various evaluation meetings, as well as meetings with several clients so that the intensity of gathering with family is getting smaller.
“Ra, are you okay?” marisa asked attentively.
Hani smiled thinly. He tried to cover up all the turmoil that has now made his days feel bad. Everything in the house looks ordinary. Hani doesn't want to be stuck with uncertainty. He was determined, when Faiq returned tonight he would ask the truth of the relationship between Faiq and Hesti.
“Later tonight we will present at the jewelry exhibition ‘Jakarta International Jewellery Fair 2021’. Located in Assembly Hall, Jakarta Convention Center (JCC).” Marisa said as the two were still sitting together in the dining room.
“But I am not used to following such activities, bu.” Said Hani slowly.
“Just calm down, you there will accompany mom. The event was organized by the Indonesian Gold and Gem Jewelry Association (APPI) who happened to be her mother serving as her treasurer.” Marisa patted her shoulder, “You haven't been in an activity like this for a long time. It's about time mom introduced you to mom's relationship out there.”
“I don't have a proper dress for the event ma'am …. “ Hani says uninspiredly.
She lacks confidence, especially for a long time she did not shop for dresses to attend official events held by her in-law company.
“Just relax, we will go to the butiq of friends to the salon to perfect our appearance tonight.” Reply Marisa with a smile, “Lend all to mother.”
Marisa nods her head trying to convince Hani to entrust everything to her.
“How about the kids, mom?” Hani is still worried about her children.
“Take it easy. They'll be fine.”
Exactly at 7:30 Hani and Marisa are already in JCC escorted by Karman. Both of them entered Assembly Hall which became the venue for jewelry exhibition in Indonesia. Not only diamond jewelry is displayed, but various precious stones that are not cans are also exhibited this time.
Marisa soon introduces Hani to the other APEPI members. Hani compensates for her in-laws who are so agile and lithe when faced with some of her relationships.
The exhibition event immediately opened MC which began with the speech of the chairman of the committee, Ny. Anggraein. Marisa and several other women sit in VVIP seats as they are core members of APEPI.
“Jeng Linda …. “ Marisa smiles broadly seeing her close friend already there.
“Marisa ... “ reply Linda no less warm.
The two were talking to each other, but only a week ago ran out of the way with their grandchildren.
“Nak Hani …. “ Linda was stunned to see the appearance of Hani who was so graceful and classy.
Marisa smiled with satisfaction, watching Linda look at her daughter-in-law who she had made over since 4 o'clock earlier with great admiration.
“Whose are you coming here?” Marisa was circulating her gaze because she saw Linda was alone.
“I'm with Tama. Now he is talking to your husband and Faiq who also just arrived.” Linda explained clearly.
“Wah, thank God Faiq and his father have come.” Marisa smiled happily.
Faiq's gaze focused on one point. He saw Hani and Marisa talking with VVIP guests who came to the Indonesian jewelry exhibition. Only his wife looked the youngest among the women standing with them.
“Sayang …. “ Faiq greet Hani gently.
Regardless of the gazes of the invitees lined up before his mother Faiq immediately grabbed his wife's waist.
“Wah, so this young lady is your son-in-law?” The new Madam Anggraeni dropped off the podium immediately joined them.
Marisa smiled proudly to see her friend very enthusiastically join them. Linda glanced at Adi who came hand in hand with Darmawan. He knew that until now his son's heart was still frozen to start a relationship.
“Goodnight madam ... “ greet Hani courteously to Anggraeni who stands right in front of her.
“Call just aunt Reni.” Anggraeni hugged Hani affectionately. “Marisa is lucky to have a daughter-in-law like you.”
Hani looked at Marisa in confusion. But he kept smiling back Anggraeni's warmth towards her.
“Wah, jeng Linda. We haven't seen each other in a long time. How are your son and daughter-in-law?” Anggraeni turned her gaze to Linda who was shocked to see Faiq's treatment of Hani.
Linda was stunned to hear the question of her social colleague. He looked at Marisa who was also looking at him with pity. His voice felt stuck in his throat.
“We are fine.” Adi interrupted quickly.
He did not want his household to become public consumption. As much as possible he keeps the disgrace in the family. Adi approached Anggraeni and stretched out his hand with a thin smile that Anggraeni replied warmly. Adi patted her mother's shoulder to give her peace. Linda felt relieved as soon as Adi stood beside her.
Adi's eyes were glued to see Hani's very different appearance tonight. Every time he saw his former eyes couldn't be sidetracked. Although their relationship had improved, Adi still felt the jealousy of Faiq that was so great when they were in the same room.
Faiq took Hani around to see the jewelry on display. He was not comfortable seeing Adi who repeatedly stole a glance at his wife. It's impossible to bring Hani home now. If Faiq is desperate to bring Hani home, then he must be ready with his mother's lecture that will take days to get bored himself.
The jewelry displayed is not only made of gold but also diamonds whose price is not cans. While embracing his wife's slender waist, Faiq noticed an attractive jewel in his eyes. He wants to give a gift to Hani for the birth of the twins.
“How about this one, baby?” Faiq pointed at a beautiful diamond necklace a set with his ring and bracelet.
“Mas, I don't need that.” Said Hani subtly.
He looked sadly at Faiq, "All I need is your honesty, mas ..." - his inner self in the heart.
Faiq looked at his wife with clinging. The woman he loved with all his heart. He saw the sorrow reflected in those clear eyes.
“Honey, tell me what's on your mind. You can't know if you don't …. “
Hani was silent late in his thoughts. Should he ask Faiq directly about his confession about the marriage that had occurred between him and Faiq. Hani is confused by his own thoughts.
“Mas Faiq ... “ melodious voice seduce disconnect the gaze of both.
“Hesti …. “ Faiq muttered with an annoyed feeling.
“Why am I blocking my phone? I am sorry for the disaster that befell Mbak Hani ... “ the voice of Hesti sounded sad, but his face was full of pretense.
Hani quickly released Faiq's embrace on his waist. He stared intently at Faiq and Hesti. Now the opportunity to know everything is in sight.
“Solve Faiq's business with your ex-wife.” Hani said softly.
Without asking for Faiq's approval, Hani steps up to Marisa who is still talking to Linda, Darmawan and Aditama.
