The Desired Angel of Heaven
Chapter 17

Adi, Johan, Fery and his clients from Semarang have just finished discussing the development of hotels and resorts to be built in Semarang. The client named Syamsul canceled lunch together, because he had to return to Semarang immediately, there was an urgent family affair.

“Wah, fortunately have not ordered the menu.” Said Fery while wiping his forehead. “Soalya Gigi and the kids have made a lunch appointment here too.”

“Really?” Adi frowned, “So you will join your family?”

“Colah. I invited you both.” Fery felt bad to see Adi who was getting sultry, because he was left alone with Johan. “Make you not just a co-worker, but already like a brother to me. Let's have lunch together.”

Since Helen suffered 2 miscarriages, he forbade his wife to work. While every lunch hour he always met with his clients. To take Helen to lunch with him he felt worried. Now he must be really protective in order to maintain the pregnancy of his wife. He doesn't want to lose anymore. But Adi feels bad about joining Fery and his family.

“It just so happens that the twins want to eat spaghetti. Long time promise to eat here.” Fery explains to Johan about his agreement with the twins and his family.

“Wah, coincidence. I also want to eat that.” Adi was enthusiastic to hear Fery's words. “We join, Jo.” He is a fan of Italiano. Maybe it also affects the twins who love spaghetti.

“Good, Mr.” Johan nodded his head approving his boss's suggestion.

The three of them walked out of the private room towards the usual table. Adi stared at the Italiano-style restaurant. Johan followed his second step, until a call was heard in his third ear.

“Honey, here..” Gigi waved her hand as soon as she saw Fery walking with his two colleagues.

“Mari Tama, Johan, please join.” Fery allowed the two to sit on the chair the waiter had arranged.

Adi's eyes were glued to see the scene in front of him. He saw a pair of twins sitting down casually. Their faces were not similar, but one reminded him of Hani. His heart was touched to see both.

The twins Ariq and Ali did not ignore the person in front of him. They were pouting because the food they wanted had not come yet either. While waiting for the order to come, the two just watched a cartoon movie from the tab that Gigi was given.

“Old papi is very, me and mas are very hungry.” Ali pouted seeing the relaxed Fery smile towards him.

“Excuse papi, there is still work dikit.” He ruffled Ali's hair.

“Ih, my hair will be ugly, papi.” Ali's protest was upset.

“Yes already, ntar mami buyin ice cream a lot.” Gigi tries to persuade her of not feeling well with Adi observing their interaction. “Back later, mommy and mommy will take you guys to play above.”.

“Are they your sons?” Adi asked Fery out of curiosity. He knows their faces. But since it had been two years not to meet he became less sure of his own feelings.

“Son friend Gigi. Her little brother I used to carry.” Said Fery relaxed. “They are three brothers, and these are her two brothers. Saucy right?”

“Your own son?” Adi grew curious, his eyes continued to observe the twins in turns. There was a sense of longing piercing his heart seeing the two twin boys.

“Me and Gigi are still enjoying our wedding. Our son's troubles leave it to the Powerful. Gigi is young too. There are still many opportunities to have children.” Fery replied casually while looking at Adi.

He shifted his gaze, “Dedek where?” fery looked left right, because Hasya was not yet visible. “Are they not coming? Didn't see his face for a day already miss.” Fery looked at Ariq who was still busy watching with Ali.

“Let's go hand and face cleaning, ice cream chocolate all.” Ariq said quickly.

“Papi..” the tiny crybaby sound surprised them.

“Tuh, mother same dedek.” Ali put his lips together, seeing Hasya running towards them.

Adi was stunned to see the figure that now appeared before him. Hasya directly climbed onto Fery's lap while Hani just smiled faintly at them. He didn't care about Adi and Johan's eyes.

“This is my wife's best friend, her name is Hanifah Az Zahra. She's the third mother of these kids.” Fery immediately introduced the three.

Hani cupped his hands together without looking at Adi's face, to Johan he still had a thin smile while nodding his head.

Adi's lips locked hearing Fery's words. His tongue felt like he was unable to say a word. He felt his heart seething as he looked at the twins he had never touched. But indulge in people who do not have the slightest blood ties with them. And the little one whom he doubts as his flesh and blood…

“Papi, or want ituh..” Hasya pointed spaghetti that has not been added to the sauce. Her beautiful eyes twinkled at the attractive looking food on the table.

“This is the same mother, papi also has not eaten.” Hani feels bad about Fery and Gigi. He did not care about Adi's unblinking gaze on him and his three children, especially on the tiny Hasya who continued to trouble Fery.

Adi's eyes were misty realizing how much her twin sons had grown without her caress of affection. And the little one who had stolen his heart was the blood of his own flesh which he had doubted, causing him to drop a talaq on Hani.

While he himself blinded his feelings for Helen, and still waiting for a child born from a wife he really loved. Did he really love Helen? Or is it just a feeling of guilt because he was the first to snatch Helen's precious treasure while they were still sitting in High School?

Adi's feelings are uncertain after knowing the truth, that the little one is not his best friend's child but Hani's daughter who is none other than his own daughter. The daughter he has been told to leave, if Hani still wants to survive being his wife. It was he who had accused Hani of cheating, but he himself had created the coals in their household of only 4 years old.

During lunch, there was not much conversation. But Adi's gaze continues to lead to Hani serving the twins, while Hasya is still spoiled on Fery and fed to Gigi.

Warmth and sadness filled his heart. The view he had felt two years ago when they were still one roof. But now they're just other people. It felt like he was hugging the twins, channeling warmth to both of them, as well as the cute little one who had stolen his heart. All three of his flesh blood grew without ever being involved in their upbringing.

Johan was concerned to see the sadness on Adi's face. He saw Adi just stirring the spaghetti in front of him, without any desire to taste it.

“Mother comes with us right?” Ariq finished his meal while looking at Hani who cleaned his hands using tissue.

“Mother still has the same business oma. Later mas both join mami and papi aja, yes. Said he wanted to play first.” Hani's soft voice seemed to be a soothing wind of heaven in Adi's ears.

“How many hours do you make a deal with Marisa, Han?” Gigi also finished eating him and Hasya. He immediately cleaned the mouth of the little one who was still a straw of sausage.

“I go directly to the boutique recommendation mom.” Hani kissed her three children softly. “Down go a minute yes. Don't bother papi and mami.” He immediately said goodbye to all who were still gathered at the long table.

Fery frowned when he saw Adi did not take his eyes off until Hani's shadow was lost behind the door of the restaurant.

“Tama, are you okay?” He saw Adi's face that looked sad, unlike when they met clients and talked about their tenders, “Is there something that bothers you?”

Adi. He shook his head quickly. Fery and Gigi looked at each other. His eyes now turned to look at Hasya who was now drinking orange juice.

“Mami, atu takayang. Egh...” He let out a belching sound, making everyone smile staring at him.

“The more here, I see dede more and more similar to mr. Tama.” Teeth cannot hold its taste. He looked at the two in turn.

“Don't be surprised, we are born with faces similar to those around the world.” Said Fery quickly. He did not want to make his best friend feel sad because his wife had just miscarried.

“Master, we go directly to the office?” Johan cut their conversation. He felt he had no interest in lingering there. And he felt sorry to see Adi who seemed to miss his sons, but what power they were close to each other but did not know each other.

When Fery with Gigi brought the children to play in the children's arena on the 2nd floor, inexplicably Adi's light steps followed them. He paid no attention to the astonished gaze of Tooth who frowned with his presence.

“You didn't return to the office?” Fery looked at him while frowning.

“Once in a while take time off, want to also like you.” Answer's relaxed.  He wanted to stay longer with them.

“I'd better go straight to the office, Mr.” Johan resigned. He understood the mood of his boss who missed his baby.

Adi nods. He and Fery just watched from a close distance see Gigi bring the three play in Circuz Playground. His heart felt a sense of warmth when he saw his three children laughing happily trying one game after another.

“Seeing the three laughed, sometimes I felt sad, how his father who did not acknowledge them.” Fery's speech felt piercing Adi's heart.

Adi's speechless. He doesn't know what to answer. Because he had never told Fery the truth. Her eyes reddened withstanding the sadness that now surrounded her feelings. His chest was beating faster. It feels like he hugs the three hearts that are now in front of his eyes. But they do not know him, because since the beginning Adi has limited himself to be close to the twins, let alone the tiny one who has never felt his touch since the beginning.

A call from Johan stopped Adi's daydream. He picked it up and spoke seriously. Calling time is closed.

“Sorry, Fer. I have to get back to the office. Johan is downstairs. Thank you for this fun togetherness.”

“Ok.” Fery nodded, “We'll be back soon. Soon enough, Sasha has to take a nap.”
