Thanksgiving Event 2

Rahma was stunned to see the scene before her. Friska looks exhausted after receiving congratulations from the guests who attended the ceremony.

The invited guests were very nice, the immediate family and the distant family were all present. Employees and business relations Anggara parents were also present. Even those from outside the city of Bandung were present.

Anggara rubbed the sweat that appeared on Friska's forehead with the tissue in her hand at Friska's request, saying she was angry because of the many people. Anggara complied with his wife's request with pleasure.

“Mas, I haus” said Friska, she glanced at Rahma who was playing the phone occasionally when guests were aloof.

“After” Anggara circulates the view of looking for someone who can be asked for help to get a drink for Friska, unfortunately everyone seems to be busy serving the guests. He went to get himself a drink for his second wife,

“Mas, where are you going?’ tanya Friska grabbed the hand of Anggara who had stood up from her seat,

“Say you're thirsty, I'll get you a drink” Anggara replied,

“Don't be the same you dong, you're here just don't stay me, surely the guests arrive again nanyain you” prevent Friska, again the tip of his eyes glanced at Rahma who was angrily with her phone.

“Begging Rahma aja who tookin” said Friska without hesitation,

“But..” Anggara feels bad if you have to ask Rahma for help, he said,

“Mas..”.

“Why baby?” mama Anggara who has finished chatting with guests who are friends to ensure the state of Friska,

“This ma I'm thirsty, but they are busy” Friska said with her beautiful face,

“I will get it, you are here first with mama” Anggara said,

“Mas, no. What if guests come later?” Friska is still trying to prevent Anggara from getting her a drink,

“Yes already, ask for help Rahma aja” whispered mama approaching Anggara's ears, Anggara,

“Huftt...”.Anggara threw her breath away, in fact she was very reluctant to talk to Rahma today. He knew being in this house today was not easy for Rahma, Anggara knew that his first wife was trying to strengthen herself,

“Sayang..” said Anggara staring at Rahma sad. Rahma raised her head, knowing the call was for her. Since then Rahma had heard conversations between them but she pretended to be busy with her phone, replying to a message with Lisna who knew she was in Bandung attending her honeymoon.

“Honey, can I ask for help?” Anggara also approached Rahma,

“What's the Mas?” asked Rahma indifferently, pretending not to hear their chatter that was not before,

“Friska thirsty, she wants juice that's on the end of the drink stand. Can I ask you to get it?" anggara said hesitantly, his eyes implied that he felt very guilty about the circumstances that Rahma had to face.

Actually Anggara had tried to persuade Friska not to ask that Rahma be present on this day, he did not want Rahma to be more hurt. But again Friska forced her will, she again asked for help from mama Anggara to realize her wishes. And here it is now, Rahma was in a state that definitely left her deeply hurt, but the attitude that the woman showed was that of stubbornness.

With a smile always on her lips she greeted all the family and guests present. Angga increasingly feels guilty for making a woman as good as Rahma hurt by it.

“Good, Mas” answered without asking much, Rahma moved from her seat to leave them to the table that serves various drinks.

“Why? Nothing wrong, right?” Aggara asked back to make Friska further pursed her lips, while mama Anggara only bobbed her head to hear their little debate.

“Already, there are more guests who came” mama also spoke,

“Assalamu’alaikum, sorry I came late” said a guest who just arrived,

“Wa’alaikumsalam, it's okay Ms. Shanum, thank you for being pleased to attend our invitation. Akhtarnya sir did not come Bu?” mama replied, she welcomed the special guest who was her business partner with a friendly smile.

“Oh yes, I am sorry Mas Akhtar could not come because there is a sudden business, she sends her greetings and apologies for not being able to come to meet the invitation of Mr and Ibu” guest named Shanum also explained the reason for her husband's absence at the event,

“Honey once, but it's okay the presence of mother has made us very happy. Thank you, Ms. Shanum, for coming. Oya, this is my daughter-in-law Ma, and this is my son” mama also introduced Friska and Anggara, both smiling kindly and welcomed no less kindly by Shanum by greeting Friska, Friska, sun cheeks left and right but only cupped his hands together on his chest when greeting Anggara.

“My son Anggara who will continue the family business Bu, hopefully our company cooperation will be better after being led by my son”, said mama started a business discussion, he also introduced Shanum as one of the owners of a large furniture company that has been working with his company engaged in property.

“Insya Allah” Shanum replied briefly, he turned to Friska and rubbed the pregnant mother's stomach with a strand of do’a spoken from her lips.

“May the pregnancy be smooth, healthy mother and baby. The delivery was facilitated and became a child of sholeh” said Shanum sincerely and guaranteed by all who heard it, not to forget Friska and Anggara also said thank you.

“Mbak comes from Garut too right?” Shanum began familiarizing herself with the family of her husband's business partner, she heard from her husband if the daughter-in-law of their business partner also came from Garut.

“Oh no, I am the original of bandung” replied Friska misbehaved, he glanced at Anggara who also listened to Shanum's question, Shanum,

“My first wife who came from Garut, it was her” Anggara answered Shanum's question without hesitation, she pointed to Rahma who walked towards her carrying two glasses of juice that Friska asked for, she said,

“Oh...” Shanum was a little surprised to hear Anggara's answer, he turned his body to look at the girl who looked no different like him. Gammer and wide-veiled. From his body language, Shanum is surprised to see the fact that the son of his business partner has two wives, but soon he mastered himself.

"This is my first daughter-in-law, Ms. Shanum" said Anggara, unraveling Shanum's surprise,

"Huh.iya, yes Ma'am" Shanum still seemed nervous because his surprise was still in a situation like this.

"Rahma" after handing over the juice glass in both hands to Anggara Rahma also introduced herself, saying,

"Who's mom coming with?" mama Anggara turned back Shanum's attention which was clearly seen by the shock of his guest, Shanum,

"I came with the twins and my sister. He was waiting for his friend in front. They made a pact to meet here" Shanum replied again already looking back to ordinary,

"Well that's my sister, Dek....." Shanum waved at the two young men who were each carrying a small boy and a girl.

Suddenly everyone turned their eyes towards Shanum waving, and ...

Degs...

Suddenly Rahma's heart skipped a beat looking at the young man walking towards them. The closer their gazes met, after previously one of the young men was seen watching the situation around with a confused face.

"Steams....." one of the young men who approached him called Rahma with a sharp look because at the same time he saw with his own eyes how his brother-in-law was feeding the pregnant woman while his biological brother was standing in the middle ahead them.
