Flowers from Heaven II

Eps. 67

The morning sun said hello. Arka was already preparing to leave for the office, while Zahra was busy cooking in the kitchen.

Arka down with neat clothes, as usual Arka more often use casual clothes but with a neat suit, typical pants young people today, with casual shoes.

Zahra saw her husband coming down the stairs.

"Good morning, dear.." Sapa Arka when he saw his wife who was serving food at the dining table

"Good morning, Mas." replied Zahra with a fluffy smile

"Oh, where's Mom?" ask Arka after landing her kiss on the eel of Zahra

"Mommy's not out of the room yet, Mom.. I'm afraid to disturb Mom if she calls, you said Mom is exhausted" Zarha replied as he looked at her room.

Arka stood up and went to her mother's room and knocked on her door.

"Muu.. Let's have breakfast." said Arka after knocking on the door

Nisa didn't open the door either, there wasn't a voice in Nisa's answer. Arka went inside by opening the unlocked door.

"Buuuu." said Arka softly.

The room is still dark, the curtains are still closed, the sleeping lights are still on.

"Buuu.." said Arka confused, because he saw a neat mattress, a folded blanket. Where exactly is her mother

Arka continues to look for Nisa, Arka enters the changing room. He saw Nisa lying in a cage complete with her face.

"Mom.. Mother.." call Arka with her anxious feelings

Instantly Nisa opened her eyes, Nisa fell asleep in her alphabet after the morning prayers.

"Arka." said Nisa in shock as her son woke up so anxiously

"Mother's sick? we're going to the hospital, right?" said Arka in panic

"Mom's okay, son.. Mothers all night can not sleep, so after morning prayers Mother overslept. You're going to the office, right? Depart, it will be noon." replied Nisa at length

"Are you okay?" ask Arka to make sure

"Dear, Mother is fine." replied Nisa by gently stroking her son's face

"You have breakfast with your wife, I want to take a shower first." continued Nisa

Arka then understood, he came out of his mother's room and went to the dining table, his wife was waiting.

"Where's Mother's mother?" ask Zahra while looking towards the back of the Ark

"Mother just woke up, because she couldn't sleep last night she said, she would take a shower and then follow breakfast." replied Arka while sitting on the dining table chair

Zahra nodded, then scooped the rice and side dishes of her husband.

"Honey. the more delicious your cooking is" said Arka while continuing to enjoy the food until it runs out.

"Heem.. I can do it" replied Zahra as she rang Arka

Arka just laughed a little. After finishing breakfast Arka immediately say goodbye to the office.

"Honey, I'm leaving first.. If you are not going anywhere, please accompany Mom at home yes, no need to come to the office for today. I'm worried about Mom." said Arka as she walked forward between Zahra's carrying her briefcase.

"Yes Mas.. Do not be late for lunch, yes." replied Zahra as she wrestled in her husband's hand

"Who is my wife." said Arka and kissed Zahra on the forehead

"Today I will meet with a company from outside Negri, baby, so must be prepared early in the morning" continued Arka.

"Yes, be careful" said Zahra

Arka then drove the car quickly because it was awaited.

Arriving at the office, Yusuf told that the client from abroad had come and waited in the meeting room. Arka glanced at the watch in her hand, there was still 10 minutes left. Arka then received the file given by Joseph, and entered the meeting room with Joseph, while Rio was waiting with the guests.

"Include you, this is Arkana Swain the owner and director of this company." said Rio to his guest who is a middle-aged man with a full and tall body, with a bearded face

"This article is Mr. Rivans Crishtian, owner and director of PT. Mistake who offers cooperation" Rio told Arka

Arka and Rivans shook hands, and greeted each other kindly.

"Hallo Mr. Arkana.. Nice to meet you, thanks to your welcome to us very well" Rivans told Arka with a fluent smile

"Thank you again, sir, already want to come to Indonesia" said Arka so friendly

"It's my two personal assistants, Ronald and Rey, it's my secretary, he's a Muslim" Rivans said, pointing to the trio

"I'm interested in your company because I hear this is a Muslim company, I'm very interested in the Muslim business system" Rivans said

"But sorry.. Is your father a Muslim?" asked Arka with a smile

"Hmm no, but I'm becoming interested in Muslims." answered Rivans honestly

"I love your potential Mr. Arkana, I know about you.. You are very young but talented" Rivans said

Arka was suddenly surprised by seeing a woman who was veiled. He was no stranger to seeing it. His heart was not broken.

The woman turned out to be Aira, as well as Aira he was very surprised to find out now he was visiting the office of Arka that he knew. One look at each other, it cannot be avoided.

Rio realized that Arka and the secretary were looking at each other. Rio was guessing maybe they knew each other.

"Alright then, we start this meeting." said Yusuf suddenly startled Arka, making them stop looking at each other.

Arka so unfocused during the meeting, her mind fretting. Not yet over Arka's thoughts about her mother with Azam in-law, now she is faced with Aira again.

The meeting was over, as scheduled, now it's time to host lunch with colleagues, and take him to the nearest restaurant.

Before leaving, Arka sees her phone ringing the sign of an incoming message.

"Mas, I'm not going to the office, I'm not feeling well like I am. Don't forget lunch.. I love you" WA message sent by Zahra

"Dear, please take care of me.. I'll have lunch with colleagues, you'll have lunch with Mom too.. Love you too" Arka responded quickly

Then Arka boarded the car that had been prepared by Rio and Yusuf. While on the way Arka still thought of Aira, her mind guessed.

"What's wrong? it seems like you are lacking focus" asked Rio who noticed Arka while driving it

"That secretary is Aira, the one who was once in my heart.. We were once close" Arka said in a heavy voice

Rio was gaping, not believing the words of his boss.

"Can't you?" rio asked curiously

"Me and him went to the same school, just different majors. He and I were very close, even with his son" Arka told Rio trying to tell him

Rio just nodded in disbelief at what he heard.

"long story.. I really love Dira, her daughter Aira." continued Arka

Rio was more and more pensive to hear the story of Arka, he did not believe his boss' son to fall in love with a bule woman, even a widow.

"Then that's what made you unfocused?" rio asked curiously, their car had been stuck in the restaurant page with Indonesian food

"Not only that, I was thinking about Mom. There is something I want to talk to Mr. Rio further, I will talk later after returning to the office" said Arka while opening the car door to get out

Arka and Rivans walk together to enter the restaurant. They went straight to the table that Joseph had ordered. The food was almost ready, no longer had to wait long.

After all, Arka's colleagues impatiently ate the meal, as did Arka, Rio and Joseph.

After finishing his meal, Arka immediately said goodbye to the toilet, as well as Aira. Aira hoped the toilet would be far apart. It is true that the female and male toilets are separated. There in the back of the restaurant, Arka accidentally wanted to see the fish pond that was there, it was close to the women's toilet.

Aira who had just come out of the toilet was so shocked by the sight she saw in front of her. Aira did not want to cross paths with Arka, she was very avoidant so as not to chat alone.

Aira rushed to his eyes, he no longer wanted to meet with Arka actually, because there was nothing to talk about in his opinion.

"Airas.. Wait" said Arka stopping Aira's steps

Aira stopped her steps, but did not want to look at Arka.

"How are you? how's Dira doing?" tanya Arka was just making small talk

"Alhamdulillah is good." replied Aira without looking at Arka

"Alhamdulillah.. How can I work with Mr Rivans?" ask Arka curiously

"Yes I was given a job by him through his mother Zidan" replied Aira who had just turned to look towards Arka

"How's your wife doing? Surely you'll soon have a child?" then asked Aira

"Thank God he's healthy, no.. I just lost it still in the womb." replied Arka sadly

"Innalillahi. is very sad" said Aira.

Aira and Arka walked back to the dining table, everyone was waiting for him there. Arka's cooperation project with Rivans will last a week, making Rivans, his two personal assistants, as well as his secretary Aira will stay in Surabaya a week.
