The Desired Angel of Heaven
Chapter 35
Hani is now accompanying Faiq who is still chatting with his office friends. A total of 10 of Faiq's office colleagues came to her wedding.
“Congratulations yes, mbak.” Rudi smiled broadly as he greeted Faiq's hand while looking at Hani standing beside Faiq, “I'm very happy to have witnessed our brother's historic day.”
Faiq patted Rudi's shoulder warmly, “I'm also very grateful to you. You've been encouraging me all this time.”
“She is indeed worth fighting for.” Whisper Rudi. “As a friend I'm proud of you.” Both hugged tightly.
“Where are you going on your honeymoon?” Darwin looked at Faiq with a curious look.
“We have no plans to go there yet, yes right dear.” Faiq staring at the friendly Hani. “If I've resigned from the office, just started thinking about it.”
Hani returned Faiq's smile. He felt the gaze of a female friend Faiq was very sharp on him, making Hani so uncomfortable.
“Mas want me to get you something to eat now? His friends were also invited..”.
“Good.” Faiq nodded, “Yok, we enjoy the dishes that have been available.” He invited his office colleagues to enjoy a buffet dish neatly lined up on a long table.
Tired of playing, Hasya approached Hani and Faiq who were enjoying lunch with his colleagues.
“Sini mama bribin.” Hani grabbed Hasya's hand which was about to go up to Faiq's lap. “Let papa finish eating first yes.”
“Mau cama papah.” Hasya's round eyes are adorable to Faiq's other colleagues.
“Oh this beautiful one. Make om always miss.” Darwin pinched Hasya's plump cheeks.
“Eh, Secure the dedenya.” Anggi scolded Darwin. “Makanyya spit marriage, so can make a rich gini.”
“No one is as lucky as Mr. Faiq, just married already dapet like gini.” Hendro chattered as he wished to make Hani's face change. The mood suddenly went quiet.
Faiq embraces Hani's shoulder in a friendly manner, “You do not know my struggle to get this blessing. And I'm so grateful, there's no happiness beyond what I got and earned today.” He kissed Hani's fingers without caring about the pair of eyes that were staring at him displeased.
“Ciye, ciye..” Anggi cheering. “Yes Allah, leave one for me like Mr. Faiq.”
“Aamiin..” Rudi immediately guarantees.
“Go back yok. Hunting jammed on the road..” Hesti finally opened the sound. He could not stand the treatment of Faiq against Hani.
“Good. Thank you for your presence. I really appreciate it.” Faiq cupped his hands together as Anggi and Nesti walked towards him.
Hani shakes the hands of the two young women while sharing his friendly smile. Although in his little heart saw the look of hostility clearly drawn on the face of one of the women who became Faiq's coworkers. But he tried to be airy and did not want to spread hostility to anyone.
Hasya was already lying on the bed carried by Faiq, when Hani just came out of the bathroom, finished taking the wudu to perform the Zuhr prayer. He saw Faiq who was also laying down beside Hasya with his eyes closed.
“Mas, zuhur first yuk. Time-out hunt...” Hani patted Faiq on the shoulder trying to wake him up looking tired.
Faiq opened his eyes, trying to gather his memories. Though only ten minutes he slept but it feels really good. He looked at Hani's face without blinking. Hani only used a home negligee without the usual hijab covering her black hair that passed through her shoulders.
Faiq held Hani's hand which was still on his shoulder. He immediately woke up without releasing Hani's hand from his grasp. “You are truly the perfect creation of God.” Faiq tipped Hani's fingers. His hand grabbed Hani's face and looked at her lovingly. “I love you so much and the kids. Only God knows how I will keep my promise for your happiness.” He kissed Hani's forehead with affection.
“Wait for ya, I shower first. From this moment onwards we will pray together.” Faiq immediately rushed towards the bathroom and cleaned his entire body to be refreshed.
That night the atmosphere of the ballroom of the Horison hotel was very luxurious and magnificent because there was a grand event of the wedding reception of the only son of the owner. Guests from businessmen and many officials were present at the reception.
The wedding reception was both made with an international theme, so Faiq and Hani joined the guests. Faiq casually carried the unwilling Hasya away from him.
From a distance Adi sees the grandeur and luxury of his ex-wife's wedding. Important guests from among officials and businessmen came to congratulate the two brides.
Helen seemed unhappy to see Adi's lackluster look. He just breathed heavily. He and Linda go hand in hand following Adi's steps that walk like an unpowered person. Linda understood her son's feelings.
With sadness, Adi approached the two brides. His eyes were glued to see his ex-wife who was very beautiful in gold bridal clothes equipped with a matching hijab. Likewise, the groom is very handsome.
“Congratulations on your wedding. May it last until old.” Adi shook Faiq's hand with a grim face, but tried to cover it up.
Faiq smiled, his arms clutching Hani's slender waist, “Honey, now Mr. Aditama is our brother. And I am very grateful for his sincere prayers for our happiness.”
Hani smilingly looked at Adi while cupping her hands together in the chest. “Thank you Mr. Aditama. I also pray that your marriage will stay awake until the end.”
The sadness that Adi felt was deep. After shaking hands with the two brides he felt tightness in the chest. Unable to see the woman who had accompanied him for 4 years, but he never ignored.
For 10 minutes Adi calmed down in the men's toilet. He washed his face with water in the sink. He never felt the sadness he was experiencing. His eyes were red withstanding the tears that wanted to spill from there. As a man, he must be strong. He did not want to shed tears on the happy night of his ex-wife.
After feeling calm, Adi immediately came out of the toilet. He walked to the hotel lobby, to calm down for a while, before leaving for the two brides. As he was about to pass through the deserted passageway, Adi heard a small quarrel. He sharpened his hearing. Caught the voices of women and men who were struggling. The female voice is more dominant than the male.
“Deg!” Adi was stunned, it seemed like he recognized the voice of the woman. He put his body against the wall to hear more clearly.
“Helen, forgive me for what happened.” The voice sounded slow. He did not want anyone to hear his voice. He follows Helen who walks out of the crowd at the wedding reception. He did not see Adi, so he ventured to follow Helen's steps. He must finish their business, so that his heart feels calm living life.
Helen looked at Gilang with nanar, “You know Gilang. You are the person I hate the most. You're the one most responsible for everything that happens to me.” Helen's emotions were so heightened.
“You have to believe, I just love you. But I got my parents set up. And I can't resist.” Gilang rubbed his hair with a huff.
“You know, when you moved to Australia to continue school there, I had to have an abortion, because I was pregnant with your child.” Helen's cry broke.
Flabbergasted. Mass memories flashed through his mind. He was only one semester in 1st grade High School, but his relationship with Helen had gone too far. And she never imagined that Helen would get pregnant young.
“Why were we together in Australia you didn't say that to me?” Gilang held Helen's shoulder in disbelief.
Helen shook Gilang's hand, “And stupidly I accepted you, until the second time I had to abort the fetus I was carrying because your parents rejected me…I'm willing to break off the engagement with Adi because I've reunited with you. But what I got..”.
Adi gasped at the last sentence Helen said. His blood seemed to rise straight into the crown and could not wait any longer, he quickly barged in. Both of them were surprised to see Adi was already in the quiet hallway with a red face extinguished.
“So this is the biggest secret you two have. It's really great of you, Helen. I salute the drama you played. All this time you two have been fooling me.” Adi said with anger
“What do you mean, son?” Linda who just came was surprised to hear Adi's words. He had no idea what was going on in the room.
Helen could not hold back the tears that had been flowing since. He pressed his chest with his right hand, trying to eliminate the tightness that attacked him suddenly.
“Tama, I'm really sorry.” Gilang tried to calm his friend who was at the peak of emotions.
