After Aulia subsided from her cough due to choking on water, they then began to enjoy dinner with a warm atmosphere.
Mr. Haji was again able to melt the mood of Aulia who had been embarrassed and hesitated because of his words, now the beautiful woman can behave as usual.
Small talk was created, Husain and Dul seemed immediately familiar and continued the conversation. While Mbak Jum, also enthusiastically chat with Husain who is indeed the person very humble.
Pak Haji and Bu Hajah, also often chimed in their chat. Only Aulia silently listened, while enjoying her dinner solemnly.
"Oh yes, Mas Husain. Earlier, it seemed like someone wanted Mas Husain to convey. What's the happy news, Mas?" asked Pak Haji who remembered his conversation with Husain earlier, when the man who had an alluring smile, had just come.
Aulia, who had lowered her head earlier, straightened her head and looked at Husain. Coinciding with the man who was also staring at him.
Husain smiled sweetly at Aulia, making the heart of the hijab-wearing woman, rustle.
'What's the feeling, this? Why did it suddenly become like this? In fact, we have met often and everything is normal?' inner Aulia wondered.
Husain is the same. His admiration for Aulia grew. Not only awe, but there were other feelings that just slipped into his heart, after a long time without seeing each other and then the two of them were reunited with different statuses.
Status that are both single parent and hurt by the same person, namely their respective partners. Husain swallowed the saliva, staring at his former neighbor.
"What news, Mas Husain?" repeat Mr. Haji, parse Husain's daydream.
They had all finished their dinner and now their attention was on Husain, waiting for the happy news to be delivered by Yasmin's father.
"Oh, that one. Yes, Mr. Haji. So, just now while in the office to give a report, Husain met with the head office manager." Husain then began his story, after a moment to organize his heart and feelings because he thought of Aulia.
The handsome widower, who had the beautiful daughter, later told her that he was now appointed supervisor and placed in a new office, outside the provincial capital.
The office will be inaugurated the day after tomorrow by the leader of the direct center, who is also the largest shareholder in the factory where he works.
"Thank God, congratulations, Mas Husain. Hopefully the blessing of his reserves and facilitated his work," said Pak Haji, congratulating him.
"Aamiin.Thank you very much, Mr. Haji," Husain replied with a sincere smile.
Dul also felt happy and greeted Husain to congratulate, to the father of Yasmin who rose from sales to supervisor.
When everyone's face looks cheerful, different from the gloomy Bu Hajah. So did Aulia, who suddenly felt a sense of loss.
Whether lost because of what, the beautiful woman was unable to explain herself her current feelings.
"What does that mean, Mas Husain will work away from us? Aren't we going to be able to see Yasmin often?" asked Bu Hajah while looking at Yasmin with a sad look.
The middle-aged woman indeed immediately fell in love with Husain's daughter because from a long time ago, Bu Hajah wanted a granddaughter.
Aulia put up an ear, hoping that what Husain would say, was not what Bu Hajah was worried about, but also because honestly he himself was very fond of the little girl.
Even since they were neighbors and built their own households, Aulia was very close to Yasmin through her caregiver who often took the little girl to play with her home with Ammar.
Bu Hajah frowned. "Is Mas Husain going to entrust Yasmin to us?" Hajah looked at Husain with sparkling netra, hoping Husain would leave Yasmin at his home if Husain went to work in a distant place.
The man smiled and then shook his head. "Of course not, Mom. I can separate from Yasmin for a long time," Husain replied as he looked at his daughter who was still fun playing with Ammar.
Bu Hajah's face was again clouded, the middle-aged woman seemed disappointed by Husain's answer. His desire to be able to play with Ammar and Yasmin every day, immediately extinct.
"I can't be far from Yasmin, Ms. Hajah, but Ms. Hajah and the others can still meet my daughter every day because I was transferred to this city" Husain said.
Hearing Husain's explanation just now, Aulia smiled with relief, but the beautiful woman hid her happiness by immediately busying herself with the dirty dishes, the former of their dinner.
"Alhamdulillah, then, every day Mas Husain put Yasmin here, yes?" pinta Bu Hajah, with a happy smile that adorns her graceful face.
"It would be a pleasure if Bu Hajah, Pak Haji, and Dik Lia did not mind" Husain replied, glancing at Aulia.
"Of course we don't mind, Mas Husain," said Mr. Haji. "More than just a taper, it's actually what we want" he continued.
Husain who had been able to catch the meaning of the words of Mr. Haji, smiled happily. While Aulia, was seen cleaning up the leftovers with a little nervousness. Until the dirty glass he was holding, almost fell because his hands were shaking.
"Let's go, Dik Lia." Sigap, Mbak Jum took over the task. Mas Dul's wife then cleaned things up.
After everything was back neat, Mbak Jum and Mas Dul said goodbye because his children tomorrow have to go to school.
"We also want to rest first, Mas Husain," said Pak Haji.
"Let Ammar be with Yasmin, sleep with my mother, Nak Lia," pinta Bu Hajah who immediately brought the two adorable children to his room, without waiting for the approval of their parents.
Leaving Aulia and Husain, who were both speechless and seemed confused, where to start the conversation?
"Sir Lia, may I ask you something?" Husain's voice, breaking the silence.
"Yes. Please, Mas, "Aulia replied without daring to look at Husain for meeting the eyes of the man, will only make his heart pound unbecoming.
"But before I apologize, if my question is very sensitive," Husain said as he stared intensely at Aulia's face which continued to look down.
Husain's gaze, which could be felt by the beautiful woman, made Aulia's cheeks red and Husain could clearly see the change. The man smiled at the dikulum.
"Did Ammar ever miss his father?" asked Husain, who managed to make Aulia look up and then looked at Husain.
"Why did Mas Husain ask like that?" cecar Aulia, answered Husain's question with a question.
