Shanti re-entered the room, after she gave the wedding organizer a package of custom clothing in the hotel corridor. Mus Typhoon fell asleep. Shanti can tell him that Mus Typhoon really needs a break.
Two days ago the Cyclone Mus with his two children went on a road trip. Although taking turns driving a car with Misno still travel more than sixteen hours makes him tired. Plus this morning they just had a contract and a wedding party.
Shanti chose to sit on the sofa to see some incoming messages on her phone. The clock on his phone shows 16:43. Most of the messages that have come in since this morning are words there. However, there are three interesting messages according to Shanti. It was an unknown contact. But Shanti can easily guess who the sender is.
The first and second are very easy for Shanti to guess who the sender is. Namely Fatma and Rizki, the essence of their writing is not to call mom or mom against him. However, they would always consider themselves to be the wife of their father.
Shanti deliberately did not reply to the message. Shanti understood the answer at this time is not a solution, even arguably blunder, if they do not really understand the answer from him. Shanti is young too. But Shanti is much more mature in thinking and behaving compared to her age. Shanti also decided to let it go, because everything is still in process.
The third message is easier for Shanti to know who the sender is. Yes, Siti Rukayah. He sent a short message to Shanti which was sent at 13:11 earlier.
"Yesterday my husband! Today my children! Tomorrow's my treasure!" Thus the writing of Siti Rukayah listed on Shanti's phone.
Shanti replies via her phone, "what's wrong?"
Beyond a doubt Shanti the message she replied to quickly got a response. The conversation took place between them through text messages
Siti R.: "Well, the female rat is thick!"
Shanti: "Rice? Mean mbak?"
Siti R.: "Yes you, you rat it!"
Shanti: "Kok Shan-shan is a rat?"
City R.: "Shan-shan! Shan-shan's! Steal your hajj treasure! It was intent, right?
Shanti: "Ha ha, so I'm serious about it!"
Siti R.: "Yes, but I'm sure you can't take it!
Shanti: "Ready man! Later Shan-shan looking for bona fide investors who want to buy all assets Bang Typhoon! Later Bang Typhoon inves here only from the sale of assets!"
Shanti's threat worked. Siti Rukayah no longer answered Shanti's last message.
Hmmm, she was afraid of him too. O. .. It turned out to be just that much guts, Shanti's mind.
From the direction of the sofa Shanti saw the Mus Typhoon squirming. Sontak Shanti walked to the bed to approach him. She saw her long-haired husband twitching his eyes.
"Bang, it's afternoon brother!" shanti
"What time is this?" ask the Typhoon Mus while holding up the blanket.
"It's five o'clock past the bang. Shan-shan turns on the lights yes bang," Shanti replied as she moved towards the main light switch.
Mus Typhoon did not answer Shanti's question. He rushed into the bathroom. Shanti finally raises the room temperature using an AC remote. Actually, he had been feeling cold since. However, worried that the comfort of her husband's sleep was disrupted, she expressed her intention to change the room temperature.
Finished cleaning the body and fully dressed, Mus Typhoon did the afternoon routine that he always did. This time it was a bit late. At the same time Shanti's phone rang, indicating that a message had been sent.
Now back again grandmother magic, inner Shanti when seeing the message that just entered.
Siti R.: "My money hasn't been returned?"
Shanti: "Who's nitip jack? Where is the account of my mother returned to my account! Don't you understand, Bang Typhoon said what!"
Shanti accidentally carries the name of Cyclone Mus. Because the other day when Shanti was informed of this matter, Mus Typhoon wanted to make sure from Mama Shanti about the status of the money. Whether given to Mama Shanti or entrusted to give to Shanti.
Such is the Mus Typhoon, always demanding clarity of a thing. For Mus Typhoon this is an important issue, because it is related to religious law and state law. Mama Shanti has spoken to Mus Typhoon, that it is true that it is a daycare for Shanti. However, Mus Typhoon wants Siti Rukayah to apologize to Shanti's mother before asking for the money to be returned.
"Shan, will we have dinner at the place yesterday, we eat noodles?" asked Mus Typhoon half-jokingly.
"Shan-shan is okay, but good for kids. Let them know what continental food is like" Shanti replied. "Ask which country's dishes too!"
Mus Typhoon understands Shanti refused his invitation to dinner alone. She feels that Shanti has a good chance to get close to her two children. This moment might not have been created again if they had returned to their home region.
Mus Typhoon called Fatma to ask what he and Shanti had planned. Fatma agreed, and chose the western menu instead of the Mus Typhoon offer. So is Rizki. Unfortunately, Shinta, Shanti's sister, currently there is still a need at the aunt's place with her parents.
Shanti knows a lot of places to eat according to the wishes of Fatma and most likely Rizki will like. According to Shanti's view, Rizki is a quiet and hardworking young man. From the experience of Shanti, then the cuisine that suits Rizki and Fatma is Italian cuisine.
Soon Shanti set her choice on a restaurant with an Italian cuisine menu and has a youthful feel. Shanti also knows for sure where to eat that is not necessary to book a place first. Yes, that suits the taste of young people.
"Bang, Shan-shan got his restaurant. Italian Cuisine. My kids would love it!" shanti exclaimed at Mus Typhoon excitedly.
"That's it, Hmmm if you're sure let brother tell Mas Misno to be ready," said Mus Typhoon.
"Poor Mas Misno, bang. Later there he had trouble finding a parking space. Shan-shan is convinced that Mas Misno is not used to parking in a crowded place, where the night is again. We should take a taxi or bang" Shanti said in response to the statement of Mus Typhoon.
Actually Shanti did not want Misno to come with them. Shanti has not been able to forget Misno's betrayal of Mus Typhoon and herself. Misno is a spy for Siti Rukayah. As for the main reason Shanti is to get rid of everything that can hinder the process of approaching herself in children Mus Typhoon.
...**...
The four of them had gathered in the hotel lobby. Fatma was wearing her best clothes. He was preparing for his first dinner mission. While Rizki appears more simple.
Rizki was asked by Mus Typhoon to sit in front, while Fatma immediately rushed in through the back door when the hotel clerk opened the taxi door. After the first ride, Fatma requested that the Cyclone Mus immediately catch up with her. Presumably Fatma still felt uncomfortable if she had to sit next to her stepmother directly.
When their sitting position has been felt steady, Shanti gave an address to the taxi driver. Taxis are traveling at moderate speed. With the position of Mus Typhoon sitting in the middle of Shanti was joking, that Mus Typhoon was a lucky man. A chance to sit on the side of two beautiful women. Selorohan Shanti was responded positively by Fatma and Rizki.
"Sir, this is the place, sir," asked Rizki to the taxi driver.
"Yes sir. I was looking for a place to get close to the entrance" said the taxi driver who looked to the left looking for the right place to stop his car. "It's fitting, it's up sir."
Mus Typhoon gave money to Rizki, and asked him to pay to the taxi driver. Fatma seemed very happy to see the crowd. Spontaneously he took his father's left hand to walk towards the culinary center.
Looking back at the shanti running parallel to Rizki Mus Typhoon said, "it is also difficult if Mas Misno has to find a parking space here!"
"Yes bang, could-can go twice he. Poor Mas Misno!" shanti replied with a meaningful smile. "Bang, turn left bang!"
Shanti intentionally gave direction to Mus Typhoon. He was worried that Mus Typhoon was following the direction of Fatma which led to the crowd on their right side. While the restaurant they were heading to was not an ordinary place for all young people to visit.
When entering the restaurant Fatma was flabbergasted. She felt lucky to have worn her best dress, many other girls also wore dresses. He approached Shanti and said, "fortunately Fatma is wearing this dress aunty."
Shanti did not answer that question. In return, Shanti simply smiled. A sincere smile at his stepdaughter.
A male servant appeared to approach them. Shanti asks the waiter to give them a suitable table. Let them sit down and choose a menu.
The butler left with the menu book given by Shanti. The menu book was finished Shanti marked. Shanti has ordered food by marking 2 appetizer menus, 1 main course and 2 deserts.
The eyes of Cyclone Mus grew as the waiter opened the black bottle. Then the waiter poured the red drink on their glass. Shanti who ordered the drink pressed Mus Typhoon's thigh to calm down.
"Shan, what is this drink?" ask the Typhoon Mus when the waiter has left them.
"Oh, this is a non-alcoholic wine bang, let Fatma and Rizki try," Shanti said. "Try bang, if you don't want to, we'll just replace it with another."
Fatma after tasting a red drink like a squeeze of wine said, "Oh, the taste of this grape juice is aunty, but really cool," said Fatma who looks happy. "Fatma has also downloaded a tutorial to learn the use of eating utensils aunty."
Shanti then explains to Fatma and Rizki about the cook serve method. However, this time faster because every cooking ingredient and seasoning has been prepared. So just the cooking process. It looks as if the Typhoon Mus is nodding to listen to Shanti's explanation.
Sure enough not to lapse some time their opening menu also arrived. So on the next dish for the sake of coming alternately Seemed once the face of curiosity from Fatma to what will be presented at each change of menu. Rizki tries to look more mature.
Salad, cheesecake, roasted chicken, brown lava and gelato became their fine dining that night. Everything looks happy. Mus Typhoon finally gave recognition to Shanti, that he had never had a dinner so festive with children.
With a hand gesture Shanti called out to the butler. He put his credit card in the waiter's tray. The waiter seemed to whisper to her. Shanti nodded in agreement and signed a piece of paper proffered to her.
Shanti accidentally paid for the dinner. He intended to inform the children of the Cyclone Mus. He is not as rich as his parents. But he is an independent person.
Fatma was drinking her wine, when the waiter came to bring her a credit card and proof of payment to Shanti. Yes, only Fatma and Shanti were once filled with wine back by the waiter. While Mus Typhoon and Rizki prefer to drink lots of water.
They arrived at the hotel lobby at 21:48. Fatma had received a short message from Shinta while still in the taxi. That Shinta had been waiting for him in the hotel room. He was happy to avoid sleeping alone.
...**...
Shanti remembers her promise to Widi. She has promised to be present to provide support for the open tournament match of a pool house for the women's category. However, he had been unable to attend twice.
Shanti was not present for the first time because he had to replace Liske. As a result, she met the man who became her husband. The second one last week was due to have to help Aunt Risna prepare for her wedding.
Widi and the glamorous ready gang did not ask Shanti to attend. Because they realized today was her wedding day. However, for Shanti their friendship and togetherness are more important. Four years of friends is a very important thing. It is as meaningful as his current married life.
For Shanti, friendship is something else, while marriage is something else. That's why Shanti intends to invite the Cyclone Mus. Who knows Mus Typhoon does not mind to accompany him to watch the Widi match.
Shanti tells Fatma and Rizki that she and their father want to sit in the hotel lobby first. Fatma and Rizki nodded in agreement. Fatma is looking forward to meeting Shinta. There seems to be a lot that Fatma will tell Shinta.
"Thank you aunt for dinner and knowledge" Fatma said, kissing Shanti's cheek.
So did Rizki, even though not a word came out of her lips. However, for Shanti and or for everyone there who witnessed it must agree that Rizki's gratitude is no smaller than Fatma's. Rizki gives Shanti a smile and rushes into the elevator following Fatma.
