"Assalamu'alaikum, Mami, Mister" Tiara came hand in hand with Qiana, she met the young master and the great mistress of this house who was none other than her husband and mother-in-law before going to her room.
Tiara extended her hand to shake hands and was received by Ratna's mami with a warm embrace after Tiara kissed the back of her hand in reverence.
After that Tiara turned to extend his right hand to Arzan who had not moved from his seat since. Arzan received a helping hand from Tiara, and a warm feeling spread into his heart as Tiara kissed the back of his hand.
"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Thank God you're back, mommy is happy to see it. Qia kangen is as heavy as you. Daddy was just overwhelmed when it used to be very ordinary but now see the princess sulking he became overwhelmed again, maybe since there you he was happy times" sindir mami Ratna is still trying to make her son aware of Tiara's very meaningful existence,
"I'm sorry mom. Mami and Tuan must have bothered" said Tiara bowing her head in guilt of not carrying out her duties properly to guard Qiana, at a glance she glanced towards her husband who remained with his flat face and still did not make a sound.
"Why should I apologize, it's okay if mom is happy you can follow the lecture activities well" said Mami Ratna who was a little surprised because of the change in the look of Tiara's face because of her guilt. He glanced at his son with an annoyed face as Arzan still let Tiara call him master.
"How is your family? they all healthy?" Mami Ratna who just remembered that her daughter-in-law had visited her family also switched the conversation by asking them about their news.
"Alhamdulillah Mi, good mother and sisters. I also send greetings to my mother and master. Sorry not to be able to repay all the kindness of mami and master for us" Tiara said again, she was moved by the kindness of her husband's family who did not mind his family status.
Even though Tiara had once felt the life was all prosperous, but since the father was entangled in the case all lived memories and he and his family now live from the goodness of Arzan and Ratna's mother.
Tiara's tuition fee has been paid in full by Arzan, as well as the tuition fees of his two younger siblings. All the facilities used by her family today are the kindness of her husband.
He who started from just a dishwasher crawled into an important staff at the restaurant where he worked and is now slowly getting back a decent living. Although Tiara is currently on leave due to having an internship at the central El-Malik office.
Tiara was eager to embrace Arzan, expressing her happiness and gratitude for all the kindness he had given to Tiara and her family. He had not expected that the cold, indifferent-looking man actually had a warm heart and a high mind. But Tiara realized it was impossible, she only glanced at her husband who was even engrossed in his cell phone.
"It's a little souvenir from Mom to Mami" Tiara handed over a sizable but not too heavy crackle bag to Ratna's mami and was received with a sumringah face by the mami.
"It's a hassle, what is this?" ask mami Ratna enthusiastically,
"That's banana Mi chips, there's cassava chips too. Hopefully mami likes it" Tiara replied explaining what she brought from Banten as a gift from her mother for her besi,
"Oh, honey, my mom really likes it. Kayak gini chips are best for snacking while watching TV. If this is Arzan's favorite, since childhood snacked most like banana chips" mami Ratna was nostalgic in the childhood of her son who had always loved this one food because it was often brought by her grandparents from Ciamis.
Mami Ratna is a mojang from Ciamis who married handsome and unpretentious city youth, their meeting during the Malik KKN papi in Ciamis to produce love that turned out to continue to be guaranteed. After finishing college and graduation with a bachelor's degree in business, Papi Malik returned to Ciamis to pick village flowers that had been marked since KKN first.
They were married, because the business of papi Malik was in Jakarta finally mami Ratna followed her husband. They support each other in every way. Mami Ratna, who is a graduate of SMK majoring in culinary management, tried to do culinary business to eliminate her saturation because she continued to be at home and was welcomed by her husband. Until now the pioneering rice stalls mami Ratna and Papi Malik transformed into luxury restaurants.
Hard work does not betray results, what was planted papi Malik and mami Ratna in his youth is now transformed into an invincible business empire. The business involved is not only restaurants and minimarkets that have become supermarkets and some malls, but increasingly penetrated into other sectors.
The hospitality business is also the next target that will expand the business empire of El-Malik. Until the disaster that befell Papi Malik also happened when all his business was on top. At that time, it was Arzan who had to fight hard to maintain the glory of the El-Malik Group business empire which is now growing rapidly under his leadership.
"This is all your mother's?" mami Ratna asked curiously,
"Yes Mi, Mom is now selling snacks like this" Tiara glanced at Arzan, wanted to know her reaction when Tiara said that because according to the mother of the store that is currently managed by her mother is owned by her husband. But again Arzan only displays his flat face, looking unconcerned with the chatter of Tiara and mami Ratna.
"Then get some rest, you must be tired" said Ratna's mother, rubbing Tiara's shoulder, who was still standing opposite her.
"Okay, Mommy, thank you. In a moment magrib, then excuse me" Tiara invited Qiana to her room, she just turned a glance towards Arzan who was now staring at her. Tiara nodded her head slightly before stepping towards her room on the second floor of the house.
☘️☘️☘️
Right at nine in the night, Tiara came out of Qiana's room. Earlier, after the prayers of magrib congregated in Qiana's room which was continued by accompanying the boy, the muraja'ah memorized the Qur'an until the approaching isya, they also returned to perform the prayers of the congregation.
Tiara and Qiana came out after completing their duties. They headed to the dining room where Ratna and Arzan's mami were waiting. Ana who called Tiara and Qiana from the little girl's room while dinner was ready.
Missing her beautiful mommy, Qiana did not let a single second of Tiara move from her side. The little girl even wanted to have dinner with the food Bi Asih had prepared for not wanting Tiara to be away from her.
Dinner was full of warmth. The presence of Tiara back in the house really became a lamp that not only gave a new light and color to the Ratna mami family but also provided warmth in the hearts of all the inhabitants of the house who felt some emptiness this year because of the loss of their loved ones.
After tired of learning while playing with Tiara, Qiana finally fell asleep full of calm on her soft mattress while hugging her beloved teddy bear which is a gift from Tiara during the beginning of their togetherness.
Tiara who felt her body was so tired after going through quite a long journey intended to soon enter her room to rest. He first went down to the kitchen to get a supply of drinking water for the night. But when he saw the lights of Arzan's workspace were still on, for a moment Tiara thought.
She thought maybe she should go see her husband to just say thank you for all the good he had for his family.
"Now? tomorrow's? now it? tomorrow's? now it? tomorrow?" Tiara kept wondering when she would thank Arzan. He was still standing at the door of Arzan's study, until finally...
The sound of the door being opened from inside made Tiara aghast. He nailed to his place standing with a bottle of water in his right hand and an empty glass in his left hand when he saw that Arzan's office door opened and revealed a well-built man tall with a field chest wearing a plain white t-shirt and home pants was standing and looking at it full of probes.
"You? what are you doing here?" tanya Arzan flat,
