"Why did you become a dick, Gadhing?" snapped by Mother Fadia.
The middle-aged woman was furious after learning of her eldest son's divorce with Noni.
"Mother. Forgive Gadhing." The man's eyes looked teary, for the first time the mother was rude to him.
"Which mistakes should you forgive?"
"Mother."
"Why did you go down that trait of your father, Gadhing?" mother Fadia's snapping shocked Gadhing and Buya Niko.
"Mother."
"Honey" said Buya Niko.
Buya Niko did not expect his wife to say a sentence that they had always avoided.
Gadhing did not expect Mother Fadia to say a sacred sentence especially she hated the man who had the status of her biological father.
Gadhing's hands clenched, without saying anything he left the living room of his parents' residence.

Nasya sat pensively at his desk. It has been a few days to always pray istikharah with the same dream.
His hands clenched, refuted his chin and were daydreaming. It still feels afraid to tell someone the meaning of the dream clue.
"But just, Mom?"
Nasya turned towards the entrance and then interrupted. "No," said Nasya.
"Which one should choose?" amanda's question made Nasya sigh repeatedly.
Nasya. "I've been praying istikharah for almost a month, mbak."
"really? then what's the lead?" Amanda leaned in because she was so curious.
"Mr. Istikharah is not a dream as the real answer right? mbak must know the result of istikharah is actually the steadiness of the heart of the prayer istikharah, right?" berondong Nasya still with a lethargic face.
Amanda nodded in agreement to what Nasya said. "Then? are you dreaming something and what is the steadiness of your heart?"
Without excuse Nasya's tears dripped. For a month this hides the heartbreak and needs a story but does not know to whom.
"My heart's been steady with Jimmy's mas. But the dream always looms over me."
Nasya told how during this month the dream often appeared. His eyes flashed with a smile Jimmy was waiting for him at the end of the road.
Amanda shifted her body weight towards Nasya. He also embraced friends and had been considered as a sister. "Don't be sad, it's just a sleeping flower. Many istighfar," he said to calm Nasya.
Astarghfirullah's.
Nasya straightened his body that had been leaning on Amanda's shoulder. He took a deep breath and wiped his tears.
Nasya nodded in understanding. "Thank you, mbak. Oh yeah, who's the same? the same as Dimas?" Nasya dyed looking for Dimas.
Amanda chuckles. "No. Mommy herself," he said.
"It was not going to eat for free, but because the one who has a Eating House again is upset, not so deh!"
Nasya pouted and made Amanda chuckle. Both go directly to the storefront containing side dishes that are already available.

Wife Candidate: Have you eaten? will I take you to lunch?
Jimmy smiled at Nasya's WhatsApp message. Though just about to send a message, but the idol has sent a message first.
He immediately replied to Nasya's message and said that he had not had lunch because he had just finished a meeting with a client.
Jimmy's smile didn't fade. Laying the phone on the table, his body leaned on the back of his oversized chair.
Jimmy's eyes were closed with both elbows resting on the seat refusers, his fingers interlocked.
The shadow of a few years ago when Nasya ran hastily by the side of the road was still wearing a gray white uniform. There was a scene that amazed him at the heart at that time.
While he was still running in a hurry, Nasya turned back and helped a grandmother cross the road.
For the first time seeing a girl still cares about parents in modern times like this.
Since then, when Jimmy visits the business to Malang then he will have lunch at Cintarasa Dining House until Nasya arrives at the place.
But since his divorce from Diana, Jimmy has rarely been on a business trip because of his focus on taking care of Tiara.
"Assalamualaikum," Nasha cried behind the door of her study.
Jimmy opened his eyes and smiled widely. He walked up to the door and opened it.
"Waalaikumsalam," he replied.
Jimmy cleared his throat. In fact, since he first met Nasya repeatedly, he always felt his heart beating fast.
"I brought you lunch. Sorry, long time. A friend came."
"Friends?" asked Jimmy frowned while sitting on the sofa and followed Nasha to sit opposite him.
Nasya nodded as he opened the box and handed it to Jimmy.
"Thank you dear."
Nasya throbbed shame, his cheeks instantly blushing. His heart always flowered every time Jimmy called it affection or when the man flattered it.
Nasya just realized and felt how to be a queen in someone's life. The child of that person is so close to him.
"You're beautiful when you're blushing shy like this, I love it."
"Don't keep teasing me, ma'am."
Jimmy chuckled then continued his lunch. A while later, Jimmy had finished eating and Nasya had also cleared his lunch spot.
"Darling, don't bring lunch tomorrow, yeah."
"Why, mas?"
"Tomorrow mas went to meet ustadz. I want to learn to pray and teach" said Jimmy Lirih. Honestly, he felt embarrassed to say his purpose but, it felt since knowing Nasya further made him gradually realize, it was not only the world that had to be pursued.
Nasya still heard the words Jimmy felt moved. "I support you, mas."
Jimmy smiled. "Thank you a lot, yes. I really need your support" he said honestly.
"Say, when are you ready to get married?"
Nasya cleared his throat because he was suddenly nervous about being asked like Jimmy. "Until you are ready to become a Tiara prayer priest and also me" Nasya said for sure.
"But remember, hijrah because Allah is not because of me."
