Cloudy clouds did not in the least dampen the twinkle of happiness in the great family of Zulfan. On this day in the main mansion is being held the anniversary of the thirty-three year wedding of the eldest son of the elder.
The main cast, Moana and Farraz are like kings and queens a day. Both of them feel the joy again like a newlywed.
The big family was so happy to welcome the harmonious couple's anniversary party. Many relatives, children, grandchildren who came also enlivened.
Elder Zulfan continued to spread a happy smile to be able to gather with his extended family. Dawas, as the oldest person there became the most respected figure.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Ma'am. Happy Birthday Mom and Dad to thirty-three years." Alina came with Zaidan and their two children greeted their parents-in-law.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, alas Mamah. MashaAllah, thank you very much darling," Moana replied as she kissed the daughter-in-law's right and left cheeks and turned to Raihan and Zinia.
Ayana nodded and looked back at her mother-in-law. "MasyaAllah, Mamah is very beautiful with her shari'a hijab. Isn't that right, Mas?" He looked at Zaidan who was standing next to him.
"That's right, Mamah is very beautiful after hijab," praise the child makes Moana powerless to stem happiness by pulling the corners of the lips wide.
"God, Thank God, you can. It's also thanks to Alina." Moana rubbed Alina's arm gently.
"No, Mah. Precisely thanks to the confidence and steadiness of Mamah to change and ... God made everything easy."
Moana nodded in agreement, glad to be able to get a kind-hearted daughter-in-law like Alina. He did not wrongly approve of their marriage.
"If this is the story, you can continue to fall in love with Mamah Iya Dad?" Zaidan denounced as he looked at Farraz who was watching them.
The middle-aged man cleared his throat violently and looked in all directions. Both Zaidan, Alina, and Moana held back smiles witnessing Farraz's behavior.
"Father was never romantic at all, why could Mamah marry such a man? Good thing I'm not like Dad, who-"
"Hey! What are you saying young man?" Farraz clapped the back of the head of the baby slowly.
Zaidan laughed loudly and continued to dodge when the punch did not come just once. He flees from there, Farraz does not let him and pursues the child.
The chase scene became a rare sight there. Usually the Zulfan family upholds tatakrama and civility.
However, for some reason today Dawas also developed a smile to watch his children and grandchildren chasing each other.
"They're just like kids" Moana said, making Alina turn to him again.
"I'm glad to see it, Mah. Mas Zaidan's relationship with his father became very good," Alina replied to a nod to her mother-in-law.
In her little heart, Alina felt a strange feeling that suddenly came crashing down. He tried to pull over, but stayed there.
"What am I thinking?" his mind.
...***...
The event was lively, many friends from Moana and Farraz who came to meet their party invitations.
The excitement became more and more there, Alina who was sitting in her arms also commented on the sweet smile.
There is a hidden meaning that has been tried to be brushed aside. Amidst the sea of Zulfan family happiness, Alina secretly harbored an indescribable feeling.
"If I had a family like this .. what would I be? Uh wait-wait ... what do you think of Alina?" mind raved.
"Honestly, I was wondering who my real parents really were. Why did they keep me in an orphanage? Can't they raise me? Or worse ... do they not want my birth? If that's how I was born? I-"
"Darling!" a light clap and a slightly loud call made Alina flinch and stopped the rumble in her mind.
"Why are you here? What are you thinking?" tanyanya's worried.
Alina shook her head briefly then gave a smile covering her deepest feelings.
"Nothing, I've been breastfeeding Zinia so pull over here. Mamah also looks very happy, see that Dad also smiled shyly," said Alina looking forward where her two in-laws were mingling with friends and family.
Zaidan continued to watch his wife so deeply. He knew Alina was hiding something from him.
After living together for almost four years, Zaidan understands that Alina sometimes holds a secret to make their little family okay.
"What are you hiding this time, dear?" mind's anxious.
By the time the clock had shown at nine o'clock at night, Alina and Zaidan were staying at the mansion. Both of their children were asleep in the next room with their grandparents.
Alina was still awake and was enjoying the night view behind the large open window. She was shocked when her husband hugged her from behind.
He was overwhelmed by the light touches given by Zaidan. The eyelids closed slowly immersed in the fragrant aroma emanating from the body of the halal partner.
"Dear." Call Zaidan put his chin on the top of his wife's head.
"Hm?" alina answered briefly.
"Did you miss your birth parents?"
The question froze itself. Alina was silent like a statue, not saying a word or giving any meaningful movement.
Zaidan realizes the change and turns Alina to confront him. He cupped warm white cheeks of the pujaan while ducking staring directly into the bead of his nettle.
"Am I right?" ask again.
Unknowingly tears just rolled away. Alina cried in silence while looking down. Zaidan immediately carried her into a hug while giving a soft elusan on her back.
"I'm sorry if I asked something that shouldn't have been asked" Zaidan said.
Behind her burly chest, Alina shook her head several times.
"No, I don't need to apologize, that's the truth. I miss them who I never knew. Sorry ... I hid it from you," she replied in a trembling voice.
Zaidan let go of his embrace and then rubbed the clear liquid on Alina's pretty face. He put a light kiss there many times.
"I understand, but don't be sad anymore, dear. Because there is me here .. I am your husband that you can count on to share grief, not just pleasure. Don't cry anymore, yeah," said Zaidan.
Alina has no power to hold back tears. She kept crying and crying and hugged her husband tightly.
Both of his hands clutching Zaidan's ash suit powerfully channeled the stuffy in the chest.
"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry." Alina continued to say sorry, Zaidan also gently kissed the top of his head.
He understood how his wife felt at this moment. He knew that from childhood to adulthood Alina lived in an orphanage without knowing who her parents were.
All this time they never discussed or mentioned about Alina's father and mother. However, for some reason now the emotional feeling came to him.
Alina suddenly missed them. He also wanted to know what they looked like who had never been known in his life.
