"Assalamu'alaikum, sorry Mr. Mahesa I'm late. Congratulations on the engagement," said the man who had just arrived, greeting Mahesa until hugging Mahesa strapping body.


Then turn towards Asifa by clenching her hands together on her chest to congratulate the girl.


"Wa'alikumsalam, it's okay Mr. Ilham, thank you for taking the time to come," Mahesa replied welcoming a hug from his business partner.


"Congratulations Ma'am. Good luck until the wedding day" continued Ilham on Asifa.


"Aamiin, thank you sir for coming. Please taste the banquet, sorry just the way you are sir." replied Asifa invited Ilham to taste the banquet that has been provided by his family.


"Okay, I happen to be hungry. Then I'll taste the dish first,"


"It's good sir, please."


Ilham rushed to the buffet table, where several food menus are available there to be enjoyed by invited guests and also the group of prospective grooms.


Feeling hungry after a long and tiring journey, Ilham immediately took some of the food menu that was there for him to store on the plate he was carrying.


After finishing filling the plate with a heavy food menu, now Ilham was turned to the extra food table. The meatball cuanki menu caught his attention at this time.


Inspiration was finally moving closer to the table that was filled with several bowls of meatballs. And when Ilham took a bowl that was ready to be taken, there came a hand of a man who took the same bowl as Ilham.


Until the two hands were in contact with each other with unintentionality. Until the two owners of the hand turned to each other and...


Deg


The hearts of the two seem to stop with their hands still holding the same bowl.


Both of them were silent for a while before they finally woke up and were shocked when they realized that their hands were holding each other.


"Astaghfirullah, I'm sorry." said the two at the same time, and drew each other's hands.


Confidence happens to both. Even the two of them were in a daze and had no idea what they were going to do at this moment.


"You first" said Ilham, finally opening his voice and letting Myesha take the meatball bowl first.


"All right, thank you. Excuse me," answered Myesha who rushed to take a bowl containing a portion of meatballs then immediately moved from there leaving Ilham with confusion what he had to behave after one year not meeting with the girl who used to be so the light of light declares its liking for Inspiration.


For Myesha herself, it still feels too difficult if you have to face back with Inspiration. The disappointment and heartbreak that he experienced a year ago is still so real that it is too difficult to hide if he is not okay when he has to meet with Inspiration again.


Myesha returned to the table she had occupied with her faithful parents sitting at the table. Until a while, Ardi's father also stood up from his seat to talk with business partners who happened to also be present at the engagement of his son.


While Ilham himself looked wry, looking for an empty table that could be occupied to eat the food menu that was already in his hands.


Until his attention was on a middle-aged man who was waving his hand towards him, as a sign if the middle-aged man was calling him to approach.


Ilham smiled faintly, but still stepped over to the middle-aged man who was calling him to get closer.


"Good afternoon Mr. Ardi, congratulations on Mr. Mahesa's engagement. Sorry I came late and could not follow the process from the beginning" Ilham told the man who turned out to be the father of Mahesa, as well as his business partner before being replaced by Mahesa.


"It's okay, baby know that Nak Ilham is so busy. Is Ilham going to eat? How about joining my desk. Coincidentally his seat is still empty and the other table also seems to be full," continued Ardi's father invites Inspiration to join the table filled by his wife and daughter.


"Yes sir, but it doesn't matter sir. Is that a special table for you and your family?" tanya Ilham sungkan.


"No problem, we've known each other for a long time. In fact, I already consider Son Ilham like his own family. Yes, who knows, fate will actually make us a family" continued Ardi's father who was responded by Ilham with a smile.


"Yes, come on. We'd better get there, so Nak Ilham can eat soon,"


"Well sir, thank you before that,"


"It's okay, don't hesitate."


The two men of different ages were finally moving towards the table that was meant by Ardi's father. Ardi's father immediately introduced Ilham to his son and wife.


"Well, son Ilham introduce this to my wife. Doctor Realyn and that's my eldest child, her name is Myesha," said Ardi's father when they were in front of the table occupied by Mother Realyn and also Myesha.

"Uhukkk, uhukkk,"


Instantly, Myesha is made to choke by her own food when Ardi's father introduces Ilham to her.


Both Ilham and Myesha were similarly shocked by each other's presence at the same table.


"Loh baby, you why son. It's a drink" said Mother Realyn who swiftly gave a drink to her eldest daughter.


"Thank you Bun" said Myesha after drinking the water given by her Mother.


"Slow down dong eat his son. Don't rush that, no one will snatch your food," continued Ardi's father to make Myesha's face blush because of the shame reprimanded in front of the man who still stored his name neatly in the heart.


"Yes, I'm sorry Dad." he lowered his head to hide the red hue on his face.


While Ilham himself can only pay attention to the interaction of the mother and child in silence. And really, the sight was able to make Ilham develop his smile. It was very anxious when I saw the beautiful face of Myesha who was blushing.


"Oh yeah, son of Inspiration this is Dad's business partner. It just so happened that he didn't get into the chair so I just joined him. What's okay, right?" ardi's father continued after Myesha was much calmer.


"Of course it's okay. Come on, son, please sit down. Introduce this to our eldest daughter, Myesha." replied Mother Realyn re-introduced her daughter to Ilham.


"Why did you introduce us? Don't you remember if you ever met Gus Ilham?" myesha muttered as Ardi's father introduced them.
