Ivan smiled happily while putting the phone on the table. His feeling is relieved now. How unhappy he was, his future brother-in-law had just told him that they wanted Ivan to come with his parents to talk about the proposal to Khaira at Marisa's oma's house tomorrow night.
“Calon in-law?” monologue Ivan with a faint smile.
He involuntarily twirled his chair while closing his eyes. Just one step away he will have his love and they will be united in the bonds of marriage. Especially considering their togetherness last night, even though it is distant but very close. Seeing Hasya and Valdo's treatment of Khaira made Ivan feel calm
Last night he canceled the intention to go home to his mother, because it was too late. He was worried about disturbing the rest of the house. Finally Ivan to the office and stay in his study room which has a special room where he rested if he was tired or just sweat with someone in the past.
Ivan smiles cynically considering Sandra who came to his apartment intends to seduce him. He couldn't let Sandra behave as she wanted. From now on he has to set limits on Sandra. If left unchecked, Sandra's behavior will become more and more. She knew Sandra was the kind of woman who would do anything to get her way. And it is not good for the home life that he will live later.
Ivan smiled imagining he would soon be married to a woman who is not an ordinary woman but a perfect angel who is now pregnant with his baby.
“Tumben bright boss face like the beginning of spring,” Roni who came together Day to make a smile instantly disappeared on Ivan's face, “Lu also bright face very lost ama next spring ...”
“Basically, the employees have no morals,” Ivan immediately threw Roni with a pen lying innocently on the table.
Day laughed at the ridiculous behavior of Roni who casually sat in front of Ivan without waiting for his instructions. He was still waiting for orders. He knows the closeness of Roni and Ivan sometimes makes both of them forget that their position is very different. He still does not understand Ivan's character. All he knew, his boss was stiff and flat heartless. His word cannot be rejected.
“Ngapain still standing?” Now Ivan glared at him who was whiny to see the style of bossy Roni who imitated the style of Ivan when he ruled it, “What was still lacking his appreciation last night?”
Day knows Ivan insinuated it. But he didn't think much of it. It's also a long time to not feel the blanket of the night.
Hari quickly sat down beside Roni waiting for the next task that Ivan would give them both.
“Tomorrow night Rara's party asked me to come with mom. Prepare a package that can be taken there. You two are also coming.” Ivan put the black card on the table.
Roni and Hari immediately looked at her and nodded her head quickly. Ivan's words were the king's edicts to be carried out immediately.
“We excuse boss.”
Ivan nodded his head with a bright face. His waiting will be over soon. He stroked Khaira's face into wallpaper on the phone with a warm feeling.
Roni and Hari look at the behavior of his boss like a person who is first in love. With a grim face both of them left Ivan's room.
Ivan turned the chair and continued his daydream. I can't wait to see Khaira. Knowing that Khaira is pregnant with her child makes her feelings stronger. He forgot one thing, had not talked about this to his mother. And tomorrow night there will be a family meeting between the two sides.
Ivan's forehead creased as he entered the courtyard of the house, many cars were neatly parked in the spacious yard. This afternoon, he plans to visit his mother. As soon as he entered the grounds, he saw many small children playing cheerfully. He remembered his mother's chat who asked him to come because there was a family gathering.
“Wah, the bride-to-be just arrived,” voice Beautiful mother Afifah stop step Ivan.
He smiled looking at the beautiful aunt who was now experiencing it. Ivan was convinced that Aunt Indah knew of this news from Afifah, because Afifah was the junior wife of her sister Khaira.
“As for the ungodly child,” Larasati appeared in front of the two while hitting Ivan's shoulder in annoyance, “Udah wanted a proposal but did not tell his mother. Do you want to be cursed to be Malin Kundang.”
Ivan smiled directly at his mother and kissed her cheek making Laras's annoyance disappear instantly.
“Pardon this Malin Kundang, Ma. Now that the Malin came to expect mama to wave Malin's dream daughter,” Ivan looked at Laras expectantly while holding his hands together on his chest.
Seeing Ivan's behavior made Beautiful, Laras and Hartini could not help his smile. Eventually Ivan was mobbed by his extended family who happened to gather because of a family gathering at the Larasati house. For a long time they had not met and chatted with family. Arisan family is held once a month as a gathering event.
“Great you Van. Though Denis has boasted will hold a celebration in three big cities if he can edit his grandson aunt Marisa,” aunt Hartini Denis brandished two thumbs up to Ivan.
“I don't think you can conquer the daughter of the late Mas Faiq that is very closed.” Om Sadewo patted his shoulder, “Now a heartbroken Fahri.”
Ivan smiled faintly at the words of Sadewo. He knows the story of Denis that Fahri is also in the process of approaching Khaira, but what power he is the winner. If only there were no events on that dark night, he would still be single until now.
Larasati looked at Ivan closely. In his heart he was very grateful that his desire to match his son with princess Hani was achieved. But remembering that night Khaira said that she was married made Larasati so confused.
Before Ivan's arrival, his cousins were busy asking for preparations to propose to the grandson of the number 1 diamond businessman in Jakarta. Laras became confused, because Ivan had never talked about the matter to him.
He also remembered Ivan's words that not only his son-in-law but he would soon be awarded a grandson. A big question mark hung on his head. Laras was determined to contact Ivan as soon as possible to confirm the truth of the news that his other brother had brought. And he was relieved when Ivan came home this afternoon.
When all his brothers have returned because the arisan has finished, the state of the house began to be quiet, live the art that is clean and clean up all. Laras quickly pulls Ivan into the workspace that had always been used by her late husband.
Ivan was astonished by the behavior of his mother who was like an intel to interrogate a suspect. But he followed his mother's steps.
“Quickly tell me the real problem of the ghost and grandchild that you once told mama,” Laras looked at her sharply, “Is she the same woman?”
Ivan nodded as he imagined the face of ayu that increasingly made him drift into the vortex of love that is very deep makes it difficult to breathe perfectly.
“Rara daughter of the deceased mas Faiq and mbak Hani.” Baras tried to convince her feelings.
“True ma. She is pregnant with a granddaughter mama.”
“Gosh Ivan, how could you do that to him!” Laras looked at his son only with disappointment, “Mama never taught you such despicable deeds nakk!” Barrel stroked his chest which suddenly felt pain.
“I'm sorry Ma. I'm Khilaf,” Feelings of regret are now back on Ivan's heart, “Maybe it's my destiny to be with him. Rara loves her dead husband too much.”
Ivan's gaze glared far away as he said that. The face of Abbas is always there when he tells his complaints, and always provides the best solution for every problem he faces even though sometimes he does not pay attention to whatever Abbas says.
“So she's a widow?” Baras keeps looking for it.
Finally Ivan told me everything that happened in their relationship. Starting from the meeting with Abbas, the friendship that occurred between the two until he desecrated Rara on a special dark night was not missed by one.
Laras listened with all his heart as Ivan shed all the feelings of sadness and sadness that he experienced and the feeling of his great love for Khaira and the fetus that is now in the womb.
Laras immediately hugged Ivan who now seemed uninspired considering the mistakes he made against the late Abbas. A smile rose on his face as soon as he heard Ivan's whole story.
“This is not solely your fault. It's all destiny. My mom is so grateful for this incident. I wish I had a daughter-in-law like Rara. Now don't be sad, mama is very supportive of your decision.”
Ivan looked at the face of his mother who is now angry no more rays of anger and annoyance depicted on the beautiful face that increasingly me’nua’.
“From now on you have to improve yourself. Maybe Rara hasn't been able to accept you, so she intends to leave. But rest assured with do’a all become possible. Allah is All-Turning. All you have to do now is increase your charity and worship. Improve yourself and remember God a lot. Allah will accept the repentance of His servant who truly regrets himself.”
The words of his mother seemed oasis in the arid field, flowing calm in the corner of Ivan's heart that had been dry from spiritual touch.
“Thank you ma, for understanding what I feel.”
“It is only natural as a parent to remind his child, and vice versa.”
Ivan put his head on his mother's lap. Things he hadn't done in a long time. She truly felt calm and peace after telling her mother, the only woman who understood and knew who she was.
Meanwhile, Khaira has returned to Marisa's house. Tonight all the brothers and sisters-in-law and uncle Hanif will gather at the house of the oma to discuss the problems he now faces. He did not know that Ivan had come to propose to Ariq and the other brothers.
After dinner, each couple sat together in the family room. Khaira was happy to see all her brothers gathered so that the house of oma felt crowded and lively.
Ariq started to open his voice as soon as the atmosphere started to calm down. He doesn't want to waste too long. Tonight everything has to be done, and a decision has to be made as soon as possible.
“De, how are you feeling now?” Ariq asked carefully.
“Alhamdulillah, thanks to the support of my family and my family is calmer now.”
“Maybe for you this is too soon. But think about the fetus you carry. Over time your content will get bigger …. “ Ariq sighed for a moment.
Khaira was stunned to hear Ariq's words. He caressed his flat stomach. His eyes began to glaze over.
“You should get married soon. It is not good that we postpone this matter. Your fetus needs a father's confession.”
Khaira looked down trying to hold back the tears that had hung on her eyes. He can't do anything now. The baby she conceived was innocent, but was she ready to marry the man who had taken away her honor?
“A week ago Ivan came to propose to all of us,” Ariq looked at Khaira's face which now looked sad with misty eyes, “We cannot do anything because Ivan has admitted everything and will be responsible for all his treatment of you.”
Khaira's chest feels tight. He pressed his chest that was pulsing pain. His lips locked his tongue felt a faint answer to Ariq's words. This is what the dream meant a few days ago. Abbas gave it up and handed it to a man. And that man was Ivan. Alexander Ivandra, Khaira Althafunnisa, the initials on the invitation he saw AI, KA.
“Tomorrow night Ivan and his extended family will come to propose to you,” Final sentence Ariq closed the family meeting that night.
Khaira is speechless. He felt sad and hurt. Abbas's figure will soon be replaced in his life. Anyone would not understand what he was feeling at this moment. Khaira patted her chest firmly, trying to remove the tightness that shackled her heart. He found it hard to breathe.
Withstanding the tightness and pain in his heart, Khaira walked down the stairs. She wanted to talk to Ila and asked for forgiveness and sincere apologies to her in-laws, because as a daughter-in-law she could not keep herself pregnant from a man who was not her husband.
On the last stairs Khaira stopped. His tears trickled back into the river, his feet unable to step anymore. Hearing the flow of old songs played art that was lying in the dining room makes his soul float, trying to find the shadow of Abbas to eliminate the sadness that exists. It felt like he wanted to catch up with the deceased, but fate said something else.
Khaira sat on the stairs with her knees hugged. Tears were falling down hard on his cheeks. He did not realize that Miss Ila standing at the door was also crying to see her daughter-in-law who looked grieving.
Look at my tears
O Lord, Most Merciful
Tell me about suffering
And destruction
Each drop has meaning
From the pressing pain
I have long tried
But not able to
God please wipe out my tears
No one can do it
Of this suffering
In it sins
Only You are the power
Wipe out every tear
Wipe out every tear
Look at my tears
Pattered with sadness
I have long tried
But not able to
God please wipe out my tears
No one can do it
Of this suffering
In it sins
Only You are the power
Wipe out every tear
Wipe out every tear
God please wipe out my tears
No one can do it
Of this suffering
In it sins
Only You are the power
Wipe out every tear
Wipe out every tear
