The Desired Angel of Heaven
Chapter 16

That afternoon Hani had just returned home with Roses, after meeting their clients who wanted to hold an engagement party, and using the services of WO A2H to handle their events. After delivering Roses to the house, Hani turned her car around again. He remembered the twins' milk and Hasya had run out. While others still have many jobs, Hani finally forced to enter the shopping center to buy the needs he had recorded. Though every shopping he always helped Rose or Wulan.

While encouraging shopping troly, Hani looked at the massive promo held by the mall. Hani just smiled. He had felt the moment of seizure of promo goods, because of its financial condition which was at that time inadequate. But thank God, now he is grateful, God has replaced his grief with happiness even with only his children.

Seeing these three healthy, was already the greatest happiness he felt. They are the spirit of his life now, so that he does not need anything else. In addition, the support of closest friends is the reinforcement in living life.

Hani tiptoes trying to reach the milk can that is beyond his reach. Not yet had his hand reach the can, a pair of stocky hands took the formula milk can some fruit, and directly put it into the Trolly Hani.

He turned his head to the side, Adi stood casually beside him, putting his hand in his pants pocket. Hani stepped up quickly while pushing the troly. She was lazy to meet and talk to her ex-husband.

Actually this meeting is beyond Adi's wishes. He just finished a meeting with his client who came from Semarang. When he came out of the private room he saw Hani riding the escalator to the shopping center on the second floor. Out of curiosity, Adi follows Hani's steps and follows her from behind. This is where now he is looking at Hani who has difficulty taking formula milk.

“Your appearance is greatly changed.” Adi's voice shocked Hani who was trying to avoid her.

Hani doesn't care. He was lazy to serve Adi and shifted into the vegetable and fruit area. But casually Adi tailed behind him. Somehow he was now curious about the former who now looked charming.

Adi did not let go of the scenery in front of him. Hani is very serious when choosing vegetables and fruits. Her eyes that were always sad, now look radiant to make her beauty more and more. Seeing Hani's indifferent attitude, Adi finally pulled him into a cafe in the mall.

Slowly Hani released Adi's hand which gripped his fingers. “I'm sorry, sir. Please condition your hands.” Hani said flatly, when they were both in the cafe selling various foods and drinks.

Adi smiled faintly, “Either why lately I missed your presence and the children at home.” He looked at Hani closely. “Since the first meeting yesterday, your face kept bothering me.”

“You do not need to remember the past, like I already threw it in the trash.” Hani said without further ado.

“I know your closeness with the son of om Darmawan, you are very good at finding my successor..” Adi quipped. His gaze could not be separated looking at Hani, his eyes did contain a magnet.

Without a smile Hani returned Adi's gaze, “You don't have to interfere in my affairs. Among us is no one. We're both just strangers who don't know each other.”

A servant stopped the conversation. Adi ordered Thai Tea and Egg Cheesetart to accompany their chat that afternoon.

“Since your departure and the children from home, I feel lonely. How are the twins. And ...” instantly Adi stopped his words. Sadness creeps in his heart considering he divorced Hani because of the affair he was accused of. Fery's remarks about Hani and Ammar's closeness made him feel guilty.

Hani smiled faintly, “You don't have to worry. Your late father had enough of it all. Thank you for the time you have given us. I still remember the message of your family lawyer, if we never had any relationship between us. And if meet outside we are just strangers.”

Adi was caught hearing Hani's words. He looked at Hani closely. The former's face is getting pretty. Her clear eyes were completely drowning.

Hani threw a face, lazy to return Adi's gaze. He did not want to open old wounds that had scratched in the heart, to make it fall into the deepest abyss. “What do you want Mr Aditama?” Hani feels bad just being alone with Adi at the cafe.

Adi sighed, “Since I met you, I have missed you and the kids. You are changing now, the more beautiful.” Adi could not hide his admiration.

Hani smiled faintly, “Thank you for your praise, sir. Thanks to your late father, my children do not lack anything.”

Adi smiled, “You're right. Papa has given you and the children a great legacy. So I don't have to worry about your lives.”

Hani smiles cynically at Adi's words that always put treasure above all else, “Thank you for the time, Mr. Aditama Prayoga.” Without expecting Adi's answer, Hani steps out of the cafe leaving Adi in his misfortune.

Adi still imagined the cold highlight of Hani, no longer the warmth that he had seen and felt like at the beginning of their marriage. He breathed, his chest ached. Where was the happy feeling he had felt when he saw the birth of the twins. Although at that time he did not have feelings for Hani, but seeing his flesh blood so funny, made warmth flow in his heart.

But now, he had forgotten what happiness was like. Every time I go home, it feels very lonely and it tortures Adi so much. The happiness he hoped for by marrying Helen his first love, turned out to only lead to emptiness.  Adi sighed heavily enjoying his solitude at the cafe.

  Hani wants to get back home soon. The meeting with Adi only considered the last wind.  Arriving at the park next to the house Hani was surprised to see the twins and the tiny one was playing ball together with a parobaya couple.

“Dad, mother...” Hani is stunned to see Darmawan and Marisa watching her three children with a happy look.

“Im sorry, Ra. Not to announce our arrival. Mom misses them.” Marisa bluntly with a clear face. “Si opa can't stand playing with the twins. Until behind did not come to the office.”

Hani just smiled at Marisa's words, “I'm not good because it's troublesome father and mother.” He immediately sat next to Marisa who was incessantly laughing at Darmawan who had difficulty catching the ball that was kicked by Ariq and Ali. Occasionally, Darmawan laughs to see the twins fight the ball.

That day they were together. Hani entertains them for lunch together, and Marisa is happy because Hani allows her to help make lunch with various menus.

The ringing bell in front of the house stopped their activities. Hani was surprised, because he felt there was no promise with anyone. Gigi and Fery are traveling to Japan to visit her parents who now live there, and all the activities of WO and others she has devoted to Roses and Fandi her husband.

“Assalamu’alaikum.” the voice of the baritone surprised Hani.

“Waalaikumussalam ..” answer them compact. Hani smiles happily at Hanif who is taking time off to go home without telling her. It should be next month Hanif's leave schedule, either angina pa that makes it come faster.

“Uncle..” Ariq and Ali rebound jumped into Hanif's sling making Hani shake her head at their behavior.

“Basic naughty brother.” Hani pinches Hanif with a gem. He grabbed his sister and took her to sit in an empty chair at the dinner table.

“If not my sister-in-law who called, there is no way I have an impromptu leave.” Guman Hanif while kissing his three puppets alternately. “Good day father, mother..” said to Darmawan and Marisa who both replied with a nod.

Hearing Hanif's words, made Hani's forehead wrinkle, “What do you mean?” He did not understand the direction of his sister's conversation.

“Wah, again eat this good..” another sound surprised them. All compact turned looking at the origin of the sound.

“Papa...” Hasya immediately ran over to Faiq who was now standing between them. He did not heed the warnings of his mother who forbade him to run for fear of falling. He was so happy to see Faiq coming.

Faiq held Hasya and raised her shoulders making Marisa and Darmawan shake their heads at their behavior.

A warm feeling spread in Faiq's heart saw Hani preparing rice and side dishes on her plate. He wanted to hold Hani's hand and hold her tightly to channel the longing he had kept all this time. But he had to be patient, for it was not easy to conquer the young widow's heart.

Marisa and Darmawan throw each other a smile at the sight before them. This is the togetherness they hope for. With a low boisterous voice the boys who enlivened their homes. Marisa had imagined that their big house would not be quiet anymore, with the presence of the three little angels.

After lunch, they sat on the living room couch. Lina and Sari had already brought the twins and the tiny one to take a nap. Hani brought warm tea along with snacks to accompany their relaxing afternoon.

Happiness surrounds the hearts of Darmawan and Marisa, they have agreed to propose Hani through Hanif, the only brother. Because according to Faiq, Hani always refused his proposal, so he asked Hanif to go down the mountain to launch his intention.

“Ehm.” The Darmawan began to take a breath. He looked at Hani who was now sitting in front of him side by side with Hanif. “Nak Rara, the arrival of father and mother this time, because there is a purpose, and we have considered it carefully.”

Hani was silent at Darmawan's words, his heart started beating rapidly. He looked at Marisa who was smiling softly. His gaze turned to Faiq who was also staring at him with an elusive highlight.

“Faq Al Fareza's parents wanted to propose to Hanifah Az-Zahra to be our daughter-in-law. Therefore I ask you directly with your brother and your guardian Hanif Az-Zaidan.”

Hani bit her lower lip. He doesn't know what to say. He is not ready for such a situation. Indeed, he admitted, the presence of Faiq has given a new color in his life, especially his children. During this time they never felt the affection of a father, but with the existence of Faiq who always took the time to accompany them, making them find a father figure in Faiq.

“I can not refuse or accept. All depends on mbak Hani.” Hanif said straightforwardly. “Because Mbak Hani himself will undergo. For me personally very happy because mom and dad have been very good to my sister and pounded me.”

The room suddenly went quiet. The five adults were busy with their own thoughts. Only the sound of a large clock ticking, accompanied the time that kept going. Hani breathed heavily. She doesn't feel confident if she gets married again. Adi's treatment and Helen's words to date still disturb his mind.

“Rara darling. I'm sure, your trauma is still strong for the failure of your former household. But you have to think about your children. And again you are young, will be heavier you through the journey ahead.” Marisa gives her eyes to open Hani's mind.

“What mom says is right.” Faiq confirmed his mother's words, “What I think of is the care of the twins. It could be that one day the Aditama family demands custody of them.”

Hani is surprised to hear Faiq say, “There is no way they took custody of the twins. Didn't Madame Linda not acknowledge their existence?” Hani is still trying to quibble to reject the desire of Faiq who intends to marry her, “And again the mistress Helen is also pregnant.”.

“Son, everyone can change. Maybe now they're not demanding custody for the twins, but two years, 3 years down the line, what we can guarantee. You will not be able to fight alone. Let us help you, we will protect you and the children.” Darmawan said wisely.

Faiq got up from his seat and moved to Hani's side. “Ra, I know you're not confident with your status of a hostel. But rest assured I sincerely love you and the children. So don't ever equate me with your ex-husband.”

Hani's eyes glazed over hearing Faiq's words that touched her heart. He closed his face with both hands. His shoulders began to shake, he tried to hold back the tears from spilling. He tried hard, but was unable. Finally, the break-up was his defense. Her tears flowed unstoppably.

He recalled how the twins asked for their father's whereabouts, because their schoolmates were so proud to tell him about their father, as well as the tiny Hasya who could not be far from Faiq. While their own biological father is more concerned with his new family. If the twins ask where his father is, he is forced to lie by saying that their father has been in heaven.

“Mbak, as your only brother I just want the best for you and the kids. Frankly, I wasn't always there for the four of you.  Father and mother there will be happy if you have found someone who can be with you and love your children.” Hanif tried to persuade Hani. He knew the suffering of his twin brother. And he believes Faiq is the right person to accompany Hani.

Hani's cry grew stronger hearing Hanif's words. All this time he was hard to live all alone, only the Power where he poured out all the pain he faced. Did he have to accept Faiq's hand and his parents?

Hanif hugged Hani's shoulder and grabbed her into the embrace. He knows best about the grief of his twin, although Hani never reveals but their inner bond is too strong, so he knows what Hani feels.

The room became quiet, also felt the sadness that surrounded the heart of the host. Marisa rubbed her tears which also dripped seeing Hani's sadness. Darmawan stroked his wife's shoulder, while Faiq was still waiting with an erratic feeling.

Hani releases Hanif's embrace. He removed the tears that were still dripping on his tapi, “Alright I received the application mas Faiq...”

“Alhamdulillah.” Gratitude along from them heard Hani's answer. Marisa hugged Darmawan tightly, and her crying became so overwhelming to Hani's answer that they had been waiting for all this time.

Faiq felt a lump of heavy stone have been lifted off his shoulders. He closed his face with both hands not forgetting the deepest thanksgiving he offered in the depths of his heart. It is in vain to wait for two more years, to wait for an answer from a woman who he hopes to be part of the future to become his heavenly angel in the hereafter.

“Dad and mom will take care of the engagement process until your wedding.” Said Darmawan with enthusiasm. “No need to delay too long, after getting engaged, I want you guys to get married directly.”

“For his WO let me take care of.” Reply Hanif, he who is now close to one of Hani's employees named Wulan will prepare the entire engagement procession.

“Mothers expect after the official application, one month later you will get married directly.” Marisa said with a happy feeling. “Something good should not be delayed. Moreover, mom and dad are no longer young.”

Darmawan looked at Faiq with a big smile, “If you have married Rara, I hope you fulfill the promise that I have been waiting for a long time. Because dad wants to play with the grandkids of this adorable father.”

Sontak Hani and Hanif were stunned to hear Darmawan's threatening words. Faiq only smiled faintly hearing Darmawan who reminded him again. He thought of everything maturely. After marriage, he will obey the wishes of his father. And he will resign honorably from his job as ASN to continue the business of the father who wants to retire soon to enjoy his old age.

“What promise, mas?” Hanif railed against Faiq with questions to get answers as soon as possible. He did not want the agreement to cause new problems for his brother and his father later.

“Take it easy, son. It's for your brother's sake and your future pound.” Darmawan replied straightforwardly while smiling widely. He wants to retire soon and enjoy his old age by playing with the twins and the little one who has brought happiness to him.

Hanif increasingly do not understand, “Faiq better tell me, so I can give blessing to your relationship.”

Hearing Hanif's words made the three of them smile widely. Hani and Hanif looked at the three with frowns.

“Dad asked Faiq to end his career as ASN, because dad wanted him to manage the company that had been held by his confidant father.”

Hanif gawked in disbelief at Darmawan's remarks about some of the companies he owned but Faiq as his only son never wanted to intersect let alone learn to lead his father's company. He enjoys being a civil servant.

Hani only listened to the conversation of the three of them about work and business. Finally he and Marisa began to talk about the topic of application until what kind of marriage will be carried out later. Today was truly a joy for all.
