The day Tiara was waiting for finally arrived. He was ready with the kebaya clothes he bought a few weeks ago. Fortunately, when he decided to leave home, he did not forget to bring a kebaya shirt that has been specially ordered for this historic day in his life.
Actually he has ordered kebaya clothes that are the same as Qiana princess, just different models even Arzan will wear clothes that are in line with the kebaya he wears. The family uniform specially ordered for the Tiara graduation ceremony is now a mere wishful thinking. Plans for graduation accompanied by loved ones returned only as a plan.
Tiara deliberately did not tell her about her graduation day to her mother and sisters, because if they were present, they would definitely ask her husband's absence. He did not want his family to know if his household was currently in trouble.
Rianti is also ready with semi-formal clothes, he deliberately wears the costume because it will attend the formal graduation of his best friend Tiara. He deliberately permission from his internship place to be able to accompany his best friend on this historic day.
Tiara had forbidden Rianti to attend her graduation, she knew that today Rianti was not on holiday, Tiara did not want to make her best friend in trouble. But Rianti had prepared everything.
"Come, are you ready?" take Rianti who enters his room after the breakfast Tiara prepared first, while Tiara returns to the room to prepare.
"Masya Allah .you are very beautiful Ra" said Rianti with his mouth slightly open, he watched Tiara from top to bottom. Didn't expect just by dressing up his best friend thin it looks very different.
"Alhamdulillah..masa anyway, I just use a thin powder and a little eyes shadow, the powder is bad? the lipstick color is too striking, isn't it?" instead of being happy to get Rianti's praise, he was even more insecure about his current appearance. Tiara had never used makeup tools that her mother-in-law had bought at the beginning of the marriage. Usually, he just uses facial cream and lip gloss. But today because everyone will be decorated and look their best, so Tiara also tried to dress as much as possible.
"Kh...." Rianti clucked, hearing the words of his best friend he knew that Tiara was indeed lacking confidence to look like that.
"There's nothing wrong, everything's okay, so good. Udah ah, let's go so as not to be late" asked Rianti holding Tiara's arm and walking towards the exit of the boarding house.
"In a moment" prevented Tiara, she reached into the sling bag she was wearing when she felt her phone vibrate.
"There's a phone" Tiara explained,
"Assalamu'alaikum"
"Wa'alaikumsalam, Tiara it's me Nathan" said someone who called Tiara, he turned out to be Nathan.
Tiara sighed first before continuing her conversation on the phone.
"Yes, Mr. Nathan, what's wrong?" tanya Tiara tried her best, remembering Nathan's name made her recall her husband who was so upset and hurt that she was affected, Arzan lost faith even in her.
"Previously forgive me Tiara, I just wanted to let you know that Qiana is conscious and always calls her mommy"
Tiara's heart felt throbbing, knowing that Qiana was calling mommy. But Tiara regained consciousness that maybe the mommy the princess meant was Mitha. Last time Tiara was at her house, she had entered Qiana's room and it turned out that all the photos of her who were in the princess's room had been replaced by the late husband's wife.
Tiara could only smile but tears could not be held back, escaping to wet her cheeks when she saw one by one each photo displayed by the princess. Tiara did not know to be sad or happy. Did he have the right to be sad when Qiana did that, wasn't that the thing that should be? she's just a mother she started out as a nanny, Tiara thought. Tiara should be normal because it's normal, but somehow her heart feels pinched and sick.
And now, when her daughter regained consciousness from her long sleep after the accident, the daughter called out to mommy. Tiara again thought maybe what Qiana meant was not her.
"Tiara, Tiara...are you still there?' nathan asked across the phone,
"Alhamdulillah sir, I am happy with Qiana's consciousness. Hopefully soon healthy again" Tiara tried to neutralize her voice, happy with the recovery of Qiana, wanted to actually see her, but the shadow of rejection came back to her mind.
"Can you come here Tiara, she keeps calling mommy and won't eat" Nathan again explained Qiana,
"But sir, perhaps Qiana is not me" said Tiara lirih but still heard by Nathan, he looked up to hold back the tears that would almost escape his eyes when he said that sentence,
"You mean?" ask Nathan,
"Perhaps Qiana is the late mother Mitha Pak, you can try to give a photo of Mitha's late mother to Qiana to treat her longing" Tiara gave a solution, Tiara gave a solution, he tried hard and was normal even though his heart felt pain,
"But Tiara how could Qiana.." Nathan's words paused,
"Sir, please try it. Sorry today I have a need, thanks for the information about Qiana. Greetings to Qiana, may she be healthy always. Assalamu'alaikum" Tiara concluded, ending her phone call with Nathan without waiting for a reply from her greeting.
Instantly Tiara decays, she crouches down shedding the cry she had been holding back from earlier. The pain again felt in his heart, again a feeling of neglect filled his chest. But he knows who he is.
"Ra....are you okay, right?" Rianti who was shocked to see Tiara crying after ending her phone immediately crouched down and hugged her best friend,
"Sorry Ra, I gave your phone number to Mas Nathan. Since last night she said Miss Qiana kept calling mommy" said Rianti who had first learned the news about Qiana from Nathan.
Tiara took her breath in and exhaled her slowly. He tried to back out his feelings.
"I'm sorry Ra...." Rianti felt so guilty, he did not expect his best friend would be like this after receiving a call from Nathan.
"Nothing, you've done the right thing. Only Mr. Nathan does not know if Qiana actually misses his late mother" said Tiara, he returned to talk after usually mastering his feelings.
"But how can it? hasn't she been so close to you and she knows you're her mommy? rianti asked curiously, Tiara sighed again before explaining. He thought his best friend should know his relationship with Qiana before the accident happened.
"Astaghfirullah, I'm sure it must be because of the influence of Micah, he must have been giving words that are not really the same non Qiana" said Rianti growled himself after hearing Tiara's story.
"You're patient, I'm sure non Qiana actually loves you very much. You must be strong, you must be healthy and happy too, especially now in your stomach there will be a new life that you must take care of and you must prepare yourself to welcome it with happiness and joy" Rianti tried to give strength to his best friend by rubbing Tiara's shoulders back in shock after telling her how she was related to Qiana.
"Yes, you are right Ri" said Tiara accompanied by a nod of her head, she smiled as she wiped the tears that were still left in the corners of her eyes, one hand holding her flat stomach.
"It seems I should wash my face before leaving" Tiara stood up,
"Yes dong, graduation time is like this. Now let me dress you up" Rianti grabbed his best friend's right hand and took him to the kitchen to wash his face. After that, he led Tiara to the room to be dressed again.
The online car that Rianti had ordered through the application on his phone was parked in front of his boarding door and ready to take them both to where Tiara's graduation took place.
