Latifa sat at the desk with her eyes focused on the computer. For two months he worked in the same company as Faiq. His great expectations gradually collapsed seeing the attitude of Faiq who never looked at him let alone engage in conversation with him.
Faiq is like building a solid wall between them. He can only say hello during the monthly meeting only, it was he who first greeted Faiq with a nod as directed at other employees.
He seeks information about Faiq's changes that are unlike their beginnings together in school. It is very obvious that Faiq does not want to be involved in a conversation with him, let alone all business matters that should be directly responsible to Faiq but instead transferred to Handoko.
Be all work affairs make him become closer to Handoko whose nature is not much different from Faiq. He tries to get closer to Handoko to get information about the Faiq family. But his plan also did not produce results. Handoko also shut down information about his boss's family.
“Light I will pick you up,” said Handoko casually while putting the file on the table in front of him, “Jam eight we leave.
Latifa nodded weakly. He is not excited to attend the company's 30th anniversary, as none of them interest him. And she is not the type of woman who justifies all means to achieve ambition. He is quite self-conscious about his current condition.
Faiq holds Hani's hand into the hotel ballroom. Only their three biggest children they've brought in tonight. Hani does not want Fatih, Khaira and Junior to be distracted by the hustle and bustle of the company's birthday party.
After the reception by the next chairman of the organizers Faiq as the host began to deliver his speech, he said, most of it is a thank you to the board of directors until employees who remain loyal to work together to realize their wishes and ideals.
Faiq also expressed his infinite gratitude to the business partners who have attended and helped support him in the effort to change the status of hospitality management that he and the team are now doing. The last phrase he gave a special to the wife who always supported all his efforts and remained faithful to this day.
“...to my greatest companion today, I dedicate my life only to you and our children. May God always guide us to be better and always be together until the end.” Faiq ended his long speech.
Under the spotlight Faiq brought a bouquet of red roses to the VVIP chair containing Hani and her three children and Marisa and Darmawan.
Hani's eyes glazed over at Faiq who was now standing before him with a bouquet of roses while smiling his best smile.
Faiq took his wife and three children with all his heart. He will not tolerate anything that would harm his family. He has promised in his heart to fight for his wife and children.
Faiq and Hani still chat with invited guests and their clients at events that carry the religious theme. The invitees were enthusiastic about the party atmosphere filled with religious chants.
The night was getting late with guests starting to leave invitations one after another. Faiq asked his parents to bring his three children home first.
Tonight he intends to reveal the secret he is hiding about Tama's departure to Hani. Whatever response and reaction Hani will receive. And he is prepared for the worst risk.
Hani is shocked when Faiq leads her into the president suite on the top floor. For a long time, they did not take the time to be together. And he really didn't expect that Faiq would give him a surprise tonight.
While walking to the hotel balcony, Hani was amazed to see the dinner that had been served with aroma candles that made the atmosphere seem romantic. He looked at the face of Faiq who was smiling fondly at him.
Faiq pulled up the chair and guided Hani to sit on the chair he had provided. They both enjoyed dinner without much talking. Until the romantic dinner ends Faiq takes Hani back to the room.
“Mas, how are the children at home?” the tone of concern was clearly drawn when Hani asked her husband.
“Mother has arranged everything. Tonight is only ours,” said Faiq softly.
He crouched down in front of Hani who was now sitting on the sofa. Her hand grabbed Hani's fingers and kissed her affectionately. Faiq's gaze was so deep that he looked at his wife's face.
Hani was astonished by Faiq's different-looking attitude. But he still followed whatever plan he had made for the two of them tonight.
“Mas, is there something stuck in your mind?” Hani asked carefully. He believes Faiq invited him to stay because there are problems they have to face together.
The eyes of the two of them still looked at each other. And Faiq could see the shadow of Tama in the eyes of Hani, who looked at him closely.
“Bang Tama has sacrificed himself for the safety of both of us.” Faiq said softly. His tongue felt heavy as he said that.
Hani gasped at Faiq's words. His eyes were round, he shook his head not wanting to believe what he heard.
“Hesti tried to crash the car on us, but bang Tama who knew the intention of Nesti directly crashed his car against the car Hesti ..”
“Astaghfirullahaladjim …. “ Hani closes her mouth in disbelief hearing Faiq's story.
Faiq stopped his story for a moment. His throat feels stuck to tell the continuation of the Tama story. He still saw the reaction of Hani who seemed devastated to hear his words. But he couldn't stop the story. Hani is obliged to know everything.
“Bang Tama passed away exactly 10 hours before you had eye surgery. Almarhumans who have donated their corneas to you.”
“Ya Allah ...” Hani was unable to hold back her tears that immediately fell apart unstoppably.
He patted his chest that felt tight unable to breathe. It is fitting that lately he often dreams of Adi who is always present with a sincere smile on his face. He could not get close, but he could see the figure of Adi accompanying his three children playing.
Why does his heart hurt again? So great was the sacrifice Adi gave them. Hani was really shocked to hear all her husband's stories. His lips felt mute, there was something stuck in his throat so he could not say a word.
“Sayang …. “ Faiq grasps Hani's fingers that feel cold.
He immediately grabbed Hani into a hug. Hani's body felt cold in his arms. Faiq patted Hani's back repeatedly. All he could do was strengthen his wife. Her chest felt plump after revealing everything, although part of her heart felt pain like what Hani felt.
Finally Faiq felt his shirt wet with tears. Hani's body trembled in his arms. She stroked Hani's back over and over, letting Hani spill all the sadness she had along with all the flavor she had left for her ex-husband. He wants after tonight there is no sadness they will face again.
After feeling calm Hani broke away from Faiq's embrace. Her eyes and nose were reddened by crying too much. She couldn't help but tear up in remembrance of the sacrifice her ex-husband had made. But he has to look ahead. Adi is only the past, even though his shadow can not be removed just like that because there are children among them.
“I'm sorry.” Hani said softly feeling uneasy seeing Faiq's fixed gaze on her.
Faiq shook his head while smiling. He must be heartened and prepare to hear Hani's next words.
“I'm too emotional so don't think about your feelings mas.” Hani looked at Faiq with an uncomfortable feeling.
Faiq cupped his wife's face with both hands. He gently kissed Hani on the forehead. With his fingers he wiped away the puddles of tears still dripping on his wife's tyrannical cheeks.
“After today mas don't want any more tears of sadness in our household life, except happy tears.”
Hani nodded his head with confidence. Enough for him to cry for Adi's departure. He had to look forward together with Faiq and their children. The future is long. And he must be stronger to live life in the future.
Faiq really took advantage of the moment of the night by pampering each other. He didn't want to just miss the night. After a storm, a rainbow will come.
Hani received all her husband's gentle treatment. A moment of togetherness that they rarely go through together because of their respective activities. Even though the intensity of their relationship is regular, it just releases biological needs. And tonight everything passed with great affection and affection poured out on each other.
