The Desired Angel of Heaven
Chapter 281 S2 (The Meaning of Life)

Ivan opened the door of his room slowly, worried that the Dew that had fallen asleep a moment ago had awakened again. He stared fixedly at the exhausted face depicted on the Khaira's face carrying the Dawn which also began to fall asleep.

He immediately laid the Dew on the bed.  Khaira was still slowly swinging the Dawn in her arms as her whining began to sound as soon as it arrived in the room.

Ivan reached out his hand to grab Dawn from Khaira's hand.

“Rest, I know you're exhausted. Your condition is not so good either …. “ Ivan said attentively.

Without answering Ivan's words, Khaira gave up her grip on Dawn. He wants to go to the bathroom to pee. As soon as the opportunity came, without wasting any time he rushed there.

Inside the bathroom Khaira was glued to her face in front of the sink. He felt today was too heavy to pass. The feeling is like being squeezed to see the condition of Laras when the sakaratul death.

She was devastated to see her in-laws experiencing the same conditions as the late Abbas. And now with the will of fate he returns with Ivan to fulfill Laras' will.

“Yes Allah …. “ Khaira muttered in her heart with a bad feeling.

He never imagined even wanting to return with Ivan. How will he go about his day and start over while his heart still holds wounds? Every look at Ivan's face the wound was bleeding again.  Ivan's speech to date is still ringing in his hearing with his mimicry that makes Khaira not easy to forget everything.

He and his brother had tried to avoid a reunion with Ivan. Time and cost can no longer be counted. Now he can not run to avoid, all the promises of ijab qabul have been said. There was nothing he could do now but live all that God had outlined to him.

He could see the look of disappointment on his brother's face when Ariq decided to allow him to fulfill Laras' will. He also saw the seriousness of his brother to help Ivan through all the misfortune over the departure of Laras.

But what about her? Could she have been a good wife to Ivan after the disappointment and pain she experienced while accompanying Ivan in the household? Was Ivan able to guarantee that there was no more disturbance in their household?

“May your servant be strong O Allah  …. “ Khaira wipe away unstoppable flowing tears.

Ivan was worried to see Khaira in the bathroom for almost half an hour. He walked back and forth in front of the bathroom door, worried that Khaira was doing something to harm herself.

When Ivan's hand touched Khaira's doorknob, it went out. He was surprised to see Ivan standing at the door with a worried look.

“Yang …. “ Ivan immediately hugged Khaira's body tightly.

Khaira tried to push the sturdy body that had now embraced her in an embrace. But Ivan's embrace was so strong it made him unable to put up a fight. Khaira was silent, it was useless that she rebelled, her body was too weak to push the burly figure before her.

Ivan smiled when he realized there was no more resistance Khaira had put against him. He cupped the face of ayu who was now silent without a sound. Both eyes stared at each other.

“Thank you for giving me a second chance,” Ivan brought his face closer to Khaira.

A warm kiss landed on Khaira's forehead.  He closed his eyes so as not to see the face of Ivan who until this moment still left a wound in his heart.

After the jijab qabul happened, only this time there was an opportunity for Ivan to pour out all the hidden feelings and had accumulated in his heart of hearts. Seeing Khaira who did not react and closed his eyes made Ivan excited. He hopes Khaira will repay all his actions so that their domestic life goes warm as before.

Khaira felt something soft and warm land on her lips. This time with all his might he pushed Ivan's body. He did not want to look weak in Ivan's eyes. Even though Ivan has now returned to being her husband and has rights over her body, he will not make it easy, before he could treat and forget all the sadness and grief that had occurred in the past.

Ivan loosened his hand on Khaira's body. His gaze fixedly looked at the protest highlight depicted in Khaira's eyes.

“I won't force you …. “ Ivan said calmly and gently, “We will do it when you are already comfortable with me.”

Khaira's eyes immediately rounded hearing Ivan's last words. He quickly let go of Ivan's embrace and walked away.

Ivan smiled at Khaira who was walking away. He will give Khaira time and freedom in starting their relationship. What matters now is that Khaira has returned to be his. Other business can be arranged.

Khaira immediately laid her body next to Dawn and Dew who was now sound in her sleep. He refused to look at Ivan who was now walking closer to the bed. Feeling of movement at the end of the bed. He immediately closed his eyes.

Ivan looked at the body of Khaira who was behind him. His feelings warmed up given that from this moment on everything had returned to what he had wanted from the start. He won't force Khaira to treat him like she used to. He will patiently follow the flowing water.

“Sleep ... “ said Ivan softly. Her fingers stroked Khaira's head which was still covered in a veil that had not been removed since the beginning, “Today is too heavy for us to go through.”

A soft kiss landed on his forehead. Khaira could not escape Ivan's actions. He just went silent without a sound.

Ivan returned to the bottom after seeing the three people he loved the most had fallen asleep in the cradle. A happy smile rose on the corner of his lips as he approached his brother-in-law who was still busy chatting with Sadewo.

Ivan did not expect Edward would come to offer his condolences for the passing of his mother. Seeing the serious gaze of his best friend made Ivan separated himself from his brother-in-law who is now sitting with om Sadewo. He took Edward to work after saying goodbye to Sadewo and his other brother-in-law.

“I am so sorry for the passing of aunty Laras,” Edward said solemnly.

“Thank you Ed. I really appreciate your arrival,” Ivan hugged Edward warmly.

The two sat face to face on the sofa in the room.

“I'm sorry …. “ Edward stopped his speech.

Ivan looked at Edward full of probes. He believes there is something hidden his friend, because not usually Edward looks closed and secret something.

“I told George that you were in the hospital as he asked for your whereabouts,” Edward continued his words.

Ivan was still digesting Edward's words. He did not understand the meaning of Edward's words. Because his mind is still fixed on Khaira and her two children.

“Maybe Claudia has planned all this once George says where you are.”

Ivan's riveted. He understood Edward's direction. There was no way he would scold Edward for everything that had happened. He was sure that it was God's destiny, and that, despite the loss of his mother, God had returned his wife and children.

Edward was worried to see Ivan who was silent after what he said. He really regretted everything that happened.

“I've given all,” the thinest smile on the corner of Ivan's lips, “You don't have to worry, we're fine.”

“Claudia will receive a penalty in accordance with her actions.”

“What about Rara and your children?”

“We've been back together,” Ivan said seriously, “Mama's wishes before she left made Khaira allow me to marry her back.”

“Thankful …. “ Edward was really relieved after knowing it yourself from Ivan's mouth, “Alright because the day is late, I go.”

“Thanks Ed,” Ivan shook tightly Edward's hand.

“May you be happy together,” Edward's heartfelt prayer told Ivan before he left Ivan's residence.

The state of the house began to be quiet once the guest had left the Ivan residence.  Only Ivan and Danu are still talking about work. Both are still preoccupied with the child cancer hospital project which is now running 50 percent.

“Bos, congratulations on your marriage and mbak Aisya,” said Danu suddenly, “Sorry just had time to say. Because it's so sudden.”

Ivan smiled in response to Danu's words. He patted Danu's shoulder warmly.

“Thank you, because all this time you've been the one who knows best what I want. May this marriage be the beginning of opening the gates of happiness for me, Rara and the twins.”

“Aamiin Yes Rabbal’alaamiin …. “ Danu assures Ivan's words are tucked into prayer for their future life, “Bos is very lucky to have a solid and compact brother-in-law. I'm so happy for you, boss.”

Ivan smiled faintly. He also felt an incredible happiness. His brother-in-law did not take off his hands on the disaster that happened to him.

“You know Dan, when the twins were treated in the hospital I was desperate,” Ivan recalled the cold attitude shown Khaira and her other brother-in-law.

“Meanour Boss?” Danu frowned.

He did not see the irregularities that occurred. But what seems real is only the attitude of Khaira who is stiff and indifferent when dealing with his boss and consider it as if there is nothing.

“Maybe the mistake I made to Rara left her numb,” Ivan imagined in the night when his mother asked sincerely for Khaira to take him back.

Khaira's rejection of her mother's request has made her realize that there is indeed no place left in Khaira's heart for her.

“I was surprised when I heard the Boss married Mbak Aisya, how come the Boss?” Danu became a kepo when he heard the mistress Laras in a state of death until he entered the room had happened ijab qabul Ivan and Khaira.

At that time he was about to deliver a change of clothes Ivan who had been waiting five days for his mother who had been the victim of a fatal collision by Claudia. He could see the tense faces of three gallant men who were in the room of mistress Laras.

“Before dying, mom asked Rara to take me back,” Ivan's eyes were misty as he said it.

“Oo .. so because of the mistress' will, Aisya finally received the Boss …. “ Danu mangosteen and understand now.

“I remember when the late Abbas died …. “ Ivan pinched his pulsating head.

“Who is the Boss?” Danu saw the look of Ivan who was enveloped in grief.

“The first husband Rara. He's my good friend ...”

Danu. His mind plays alone. So when married his boss Ustadzah Aisya had been married. Well, his boss's ass can only be widowed ….

“Do not think about anything. I'm the first man to touch him,” Ivan can read the nagging thoughts of his assistant, “Conditions of Abbas like mama. They did the wedding at the time of the death of Abbas.”

Danu gawked at Ivan's words. He smiled with an uncomfortable look, because Ivan could know his heart.

“I can feel the sadness of Rara,” Ivan rubbed his face, “An hour after marriage Abbas died.”

Unasked by Danu, Ivan immediately recounts all the past he had gone through with Khaira and the late Abbas.

“Not expecting ya past boss so colorful,” Danu can't believe hearing Ivan's story.

Though from the beginning working as a photographer to become a personal assistant, he was so admiring the religious side of his boss figure that never missed time once the call arrived. It turns out oh it turns out ….

“Knowing Rara has made me find a purpose in life,” Ivan said slowly, “With this marriage I will prove to my late mother and brother Rara that I will give happiness and take care of them like my own life.”

“How about your adoring female Boss?”  Danu quipped Ivan, because he saw some women who blatantly expressed his particular liking of Laura one of his business partners.

“I will fight to get Rara's heart back. No place for another.”

“I saw Mbak Aisya how many times fell unconscious during the funeral procession of the deceased mistress ..”

“I don't know what he's thinking," Ivan sighed slowly, "But as time goes on everything will be fine."

"The sadness of the madam's departure is indeed felt, but I'm sure the boss is now calmer because the boss' family has returned," Danu said making Ivan's smile grow.

"Thank you Dan. I promise to keep the grace that God has given me in the rest of my life."

"Happy is always for boss and mbak Aisya and the twins" Danu said sincerely.

The two still continued the other light talk, so that it did not feel the wall clock clanging once.

"You don't have to go home, it's been too late. Just sleep in the guest room," Ivan pointed at the empty room beside them speaking at this moment.

"Thank you Boss," Danu nodded his head in approval of Ivan's proposal.
