Tonight is the first night Arkana and Nisa sleep in their house. Nisa invites Arkana to sleep in her upstairs bedroom, the room she and her late husband had in.

"Mom..this is Mom and Dad's closet, huh? it's huge." asked Arkana who helped her mother to put clothes in the closet

"Yes, my mother's clothes are long enough to hang." replied Nisa with a casual.

"Is there any father's shirt left?" ask Arkana again

Nisa was so shocked to hear her son's question, Nisa turned to Arkana.

"What's it for, baby?" asked Nisa gently

"Arka wanted to smell the body of father, ma'am." she replied innocently

Nisa then flashed a sweet smile at Arkana, clearly visible because Nisa was not wearing her hijab and veil

"Will mom tell dad what kind of fragrance oil he likes, let Arka know what kind of fatherly fragrance he smells like." replied Nisa with a forced smile

"Now Arka is sleeping.. I'm done with this, too, cleaning up her clothes." continued Nisa told Arkana

Arkana slept and took a position right next to Nisa, where it was the place of her late father.

Nisa stroked her son's head gently, while continuing to watch him deeply as the son was already closed.

"Mas.this time I return to our house, now beside me is no longer you, but our hero." said Nisa in her heart while continuing to look at Arkana who fell asleep in her soft hands

The night changed in the morning, Arkana who was used to waking up before dawn, followed her mother to take ablution water and down to a small mosque near the pool.

At dawn, Arkana immediately Adhan. Nisa sat with a white face wrapped in her body, listening to the chanting of Adhan from the melodious voice of her son.

Nisa and Arkana perform the bersama'ah dawn prayer. Arkana can already be the priest of prayer for the mother, as the late Aba, his grandfather, taught.

After dawn prayers, Arkana wanders around the pool. He was so happy to live in a very luxurious house with many fun facilities.

While Nisa goes to the kitchen to see what can be made for breakfast.

Nisa went through all the corners of the kitchen, opening the refrigerator, hanging cabinets and drawers.

There were no groceries, only instant noodles, tea, sugar, chicken nuggets, sausages, rice, and coffee favorite of her late husband.

Nisa took 2 packs of coffee, then interpreted it so deeply.

"This is your favorite, I always make it for you." said Nisa in her heart, then put her coffee on the chest, smiling

Nisa then cooked rice, then brewed 2 packs of coffee into 2 cups, for herself and her child.

Nisa then returns to the backyard, and sits at a table near the pool, where she and her late husband like to relax and enjoy coffee and snacks.

"Eeemmm is very fragrant." said Arkana while sniffing

"Sweet fragrance.. Tumben Mommy makes coffee 2 so, Mom want to drink coffee?" ask Arkana who knows that her mother doesn't really like coffee

"Yes, this is my mother making coffee. Daddy's favorite coffee.." said Nisa with a smile in her sadness.

Nisa and Arkana will go to the office today, just waiting to be picked up by Rio, because Nisa is still new here and afraid to forget the streets in Surabaya.

After Arkana and Nisa finished their breakfast, the doorbell rang. Nisa hurriedly closed her veil, Arkana immediately ran to open the door, followed by Nisa.

"Assalamu'alaikum." said Rio kindly

"Walaikumsalam." replied Arkana cheerfully

"Eh Om Rio." said Arkana when he saw what was coming was Rio

"Halooo.. Ready yet?" greet Rio with such a friendly manner

"Udah really.." replied Arkana who was impatient

Suddenly Nisa appears behind Arkana.

"Eh Miss Annisa... Assalamu'alaikum ma'am." said Rio greeting

"Walaikumsalam Rio.." replied Nisa kindly

"You want to go in first?" ask Nisa about it

"No, ma'am, are you ready?" rio replied refusing

"Well, let's go then.. Arkana was impatient.." answered Nisa and turned to the table in the living room to pick up her sling bag

Nisa and Arkana get into the Rio car, Arkana sitting in front beside the Rio steering wheel, while Nisa sits in the rear passenger seat.

"Oh yes, we stopped by for breakfast first." said Rio suddenly

"We've eaten om." replied Arkana quickly

"Yes we ate.. Have you not had breakfast?" nisa asked Rio

"Oh I am too Mom.. Was afraid you guys have not had breakfast, is at home there is no groceries." said Rio suddenly stopped

"It's done.. There was rice so I cooked, the side dishes were nuggets" Nisa replied as she watched the road ahead

"Oh yes, ma'am.. Sorry if the preparation is incomplete, I am confused about what vegetables to prepare hee." said Rio while a little shy

"It's okay." replied Nisa with a smile

"Oh yeah when will Ijah, and the others be able to work?" ask Nisa curious

"Later in the afternoon I told you to come to Mom's house." Rio replied quickly

Rio continued to drive his car, until he reached the office. All the employees knew about the arrival of Nisa and her son, all had prepared a surprise to welcome the arrival of Nisa and Arkana at the office.

Nisa and Arkana immediately opened the car door and got off. All employees are ready in the office.

Nisa went inside while holding hands with Arkana. Nisa who is so graceful with all-covering dress is light purple, and Arkana who is so neat with long jeans, and plain shirt is in line with the mother.

"Welcome Miss Annisa." said all the employees at the same time as Nisa and Arkana opened the entrance.

Nisa was so shocked, at the same time feeling happy. All employees still consider themselves, with a surprise room decorated by balloons, typical Surabaya foods that are available on the table, and some drinks.

Nisa and Arkana were immediately greeted warmly by everyone, they dissolved in the event named the kangen meeting.
