“Why should he be the same Ham.” complained mama Nancy as she glanced at Monita who is now standing in front of her while hugging Dikta.
The middle-aged woman had still not accepted Monita's presence, it was undeniable, this was still a new thing for her and this was very surprising.
“Ma, it's Monita his mother.” replied Ilham did not want his mother to drag on hating his wife.
“Iya ma, after all Monita and Dikta this package. Dikta kan ASI, and ASInya Dikta is in Monita, so where there is Dikta, there must be Monita.” exclaimed Monita amazingly plain.
Monita's response to her mother made Ilham anxious for a moment. He stared fixedly at his wife with a fluffy smile. Really plain thought Ilham.
“Yes where already asked, let mama hug.” said mama still with her cynical gaze and without the need for permission again, she immediately snatched Dikta from Monita's arms.
Monita who received such treatment immediately restrained her smile. How not, the in-laws act as if they hate when in his heart he loves. Monita's innocence was not a hindrance for her to be able to discern, one's reaction when dealing with her. At certain times Monita can be innocent but at other times she can be a sensitive woman.
“Ya already ma, baby, I'm going to the office first. Titip son and wife Ilham ya ma.” he added staring at the two favorite women were alternating. Do not forget to kiss on their forehead alternately. Inspiration is so, from a long time ago he always united his mother and wife.

Once in the office, the look on the face of Ilham was not as usual. It seems that Inspiration's day is starting to cheer up especially when he returns to find his little wife. Perangai Ilham who has long been known to be cold with a flat face is now turned out to be friendly, even he greeted the security in front and the receptionist employees in the office lobby.
Andre who happened to come along with Ilham to shake his head, possessed what his boss is so that his war can turn 180 degrees. Usually he was cold and exactly a dry canoebo, today he was suddenly like a melting ice cube. Ever since, she has always shown her sweetest smile.
“Tuan.”
“What's up Andre? Why did you come here?” Ilham asked as soon as he saw Andre following him all the way to his private room.
“Have you taken your medicine today?”
“You mean?” Ilham frowned when he got an ambiguous question from Andre.
“Sorry sir, but usually you are not like today. Usually every morning your face is always bent, but this morning you look different sir, you even greet all employees here including cleaning service and security guards.” clearly Andre wants to know what is wrong with this boss.
Hearing Andre's presumptuous-sounding question that even Ilham was not angry. He just smiled as he sat himself in his glory seat and tapped on the table with his index finger.
“You don't know Andre, since Monita is back complete with my son, my days are getting brighter, the days are getting brighter, and today it's getting brighter.”
“But it's cloudy sir.” Andre replied innocently while looking out the window.
Andre who did not want to convoluted in said innocently responded to the sentence of Inspiration in such a way.
“That's a figure of Andre, you understand the tropes right?” he started to rile. Inspiration is not just any Inspiration as quickly as his mood changes. Who had looked friendly and cheerful suddenly became riled up because of Andre.
“For what else are you standing there Andre? What now you're starting to forget where your room is.”
“Master, did you forget? This morning you have a meeting with Mr. Shaka Buwana.” Andre said reminding Ilham. Maybe he forgot.
“Oh yes, I almost forgot. What time is Ndre?”
“Now sir, Mr. Shaka Buwana will be waiting for you at cafe D.”
“Ya already, we leave now.” Inspiration tidied up his suit and got up from his great chair and then passed from the room.
Ilham and Andre walked side by side to the cafe in question to meet Shaka Buwana who was waiting. Their steps look very dignified.
“Iya, once Mr. Surya Buwana the father of Shaka Buwana was my papa's best friend, from a long time ago their company has established a good cooperation with Anugrah jaya. Then Shaka Buwana and I became close to each other because of our father's friendship. But unfortunately, Mr. Surya Buwana and his wife died due to an accident, and at that time Shaka was only 17 years old, they also had several hotels, and they also had several hotels, and by that time the shares in some of their hotels were almost freefall. So inevitably, as the heir to the throne of the Buwana Group business empire, Shaka must take part and play a big role in stabilizing their business at a very young age.”
“So sorry sir Shaka yes sir. But what is his life now? Is Mr Shaka Buwana married or not?” Andre asked curious and interested in the life of his new boss friend he heard this.
“Already, his wife CEO of the company Wijaya Group owned by his father-in-law, Adi Wijaya. Shaka's father-in-law is also papa's best friend. So he had two best friends at school. Mr. Surya Buwana and Mr. Adi Wijaya.” Obviously Ilham who is not tired of responding to Andre's questions, because he is also interested in telling it.
“Then Pak Adi Wijaya where now? Is it still alive? Have you ever met him again?”
Hearing Andre's sassy question, Ilham immediately patted Andre's mouth.
“What do you mean ask sir Adi Wijaya is still alive?”
“I'm just asking sir.” Andre replied while rubbing his mouth that was a little sore because of the clap of Inspiration which was quite strong.
“Obviously still alive is Andre, he is fresh fit now, but unfortunately for several years I have not met him.” although a little bit riled up, he still had time to answer well Andre's question.

“What are you doing again?” Nancy asked her as soon as she had just finished from the old room of Inspiration, after putting Dikta to sleep.
“Again instant noodle mama.” says Monita while moving the fried indomie from the pan to the plate.
Nancy did not answer, she just looked at Monita with a face that was still as haughty.
“Mama want?”
“No, I've been 10 years not eating instant noodles.”
“Hah? 10 Years ma?” Monita innocently gawked when she heard her mother-in-law's statement.
“Iya.”
“But this is delicious lo ma. Try deh mama just taste a little.” exclaimed Monita deliberately brought closer the plate containing instant noodles right in front of the face of her mother-in-law.
Instantly the aroma of instant noodles burst into the nasal cavity of Nancy's mother. The look on his face still showed pride but his heart could not lie if he liked the food. But what about her weight? The woman who is no longer young is still maintaining her weight. That is why at an age that is not young anymore, her face is still beautiful her body is still good and looks ideal. Very proud, the mother with a 30-year-old child still looks youthful.
“Try me, Monita bribe ya.” said Monita while directing one spoon of fried indomie into her mouth.
Seeing instant noodles getting closer to her mouth suddenly made Nancy's defense begin to collapse. The diet he had desperately been doing for decades was futile because of the death temptation of the son-in-law, he squinted, but once the tantalizing indomie was a cent away from his mouth, make mom Nancy slowly open her mouth and accept Monita's feed. Destroy the strict diet that he applied all this time. And funny, Nancy's mom seemed to enjoy, and for a moment forgot her weight.
Monita grew her smile. He clapped his hands many times like a child who saw his mother come with a lot of toys.
“Ma Aaaaa..” Monita exclaims like a mother who is feeding her child. And the funny thing is, Nancy obeyed his daughter-in-law and opened her mouth until unknowingly, indomie fritters was not there.
For a second, Monita stared at the empty plate of indomie scars. Not without reason, he did not eat indomie because he was busy feeding his in-laws.
“Indomie is up, but it's okay, at least 10 years of life that mama spent without eating instant noodles is avaliable with today.” said Monita innocently, said Monita, while scratching the sweetest smile on her beautiful face.
“Haa!! Indomiya exhausted? My God, because of this kid, I failed the diet again.” Nancy whined in her heart to look at the empty plate with a look of regret.
