In the car, Anjani was silent, her mind was everywhere, in her memory when she gave Arka a glass of drinking water. Unstoppable, his smile continued to expand, tilting clearly on his face.
"Sir Arka looks very handsome yaa.." said Anjani in his mind
"Zahra always gets something more from me" Anjani continued. Suddenly his face became grim.
The journey is almost here, now faced with a fork. The driver who did not know the way, tried to ask Anjani who was late in his daydream.
"Sorry, which way is it?" ask the driver politely
Anjani did not hear it because he was late in his daydreams of Arka and Zahra.
"Mbak." said the driver with a little firm hope heard
"Eh yes sir." Anjani replied gasping
"Where's this way?" ask the driver again without caring about the shocked Anjani
Anjani then shows the way to his house.

Early morning greetings, after the morning prayers Nisa and Zahra look busy in the kitchen by making breakfast together. Nisa, who is determined to help Zahra, makes Zahra unable to hold her back.
As usual, Arka will leave for the office. He always came down to the dining room with neat clothes, which had been prepared by his wife, of course.
"Good morning, Mom.. Good morning to my wife." said Arka very sweetly to the two special women in her life
"Good morning, son.'" Nisa answered quickly.
Zahra was still silent, her face was always flushed with embarrassment from being treated like that by her husband in front of her mother-in-law.
Arka then sat down in the regular dining chair. Then Zahra quickly served her husband by scooping food onto her husband's plate, then pouring warm green tea into her husband's cup.
After breakfast, Arka had not yet moved from her seat, she wanted to talk first with the two precious women in her life.
"Mom.. Arka is working with PT. Hanjaya's.. Mr. Hanjaya is very ill, and Risa is begging Arka to help him" Arka told Nisa, who is also the owner of Swain
"It's okay, you just go for it.. You better be careful too, Risa looks sneaky" Nisa replied
"Yes Mas.. You be careful yaa.." said Zahra who was worried because the trauma was still there.
After a long conversation, Arka left for the office intentionally a bit late. At 9am Arka just headed to his office.
Arriving at Arka's office got a report from Yusuf that Rio was intervening to take care of cooperation with PT. Hanjaya is. Arka then went into his room, and sat in his great chair with the files that had piled up in front of him.
"That's all a report of cooperation with Mr. Rivans" Yusuf said, pointing to the files
Arka then opened them one by one, then studied them very carefully.
Yusuf, who had returned to his room, suddenly received a call from Haris, Risa's personal assistant, who shared Mr. Hanjaya's condition.
"Sir Yusuf, please tell Mr. Arka, Mr. Hanjaya's condition is getting worse.. If you can Mr. Arka jenguki first now" said Haris reported
Yusuf was astonished to get the news, he actually did not care just that Arka had promised Risa. Joseph knew Arka was someone who always kept his promise.
Joseph decided to tell Arka the news quickly.
"What are you back for?" ask Arka who saw Yusuf back in his room
"Hem." said Yusuf was restrained because he was innocent
"I-i-it's Ka.. Mr. Hanjaya is dropping, Haris reminds us to visit him" Yusuf said
Arka was surprised to hear the news. He promised to see Mr. Hanjaya, but did not know when to go there. Upon hearing this news, Arka hurriedly moved quickly to see Mr. Hanjaya.
"Innalallahi.. Let's take me there" Arka told Yusuf
Joseph quickly followed the steps of Arka who first came out of the room.
Mr. Hanjaya is being treated at home, because being hospitalized for too long makes him feel bored, finally, Mr. Hanjaya chose to be treated at home by hiring medical personnel and some sophisticated tools to support his life.
Arka and Joseph arrived at a big, luxurious house like a palace. The doorman who knew about Arka's arrival, the young master of Swain's company, who was considered important, made Arka highly respected by the servants there.
Arka is then welcome inside, and in between to Mr. Hanjaya's room which is in the back facing out of the backyard, a room with glass walls makes a clear view of the luxurious nursery.
Arka then went inside after his eyes glanced here and there looking at the entire house, many paintings, photos of the Risa family who were with her parents, the two of them, there are also several waiters who look busy with their respective work.
"Assalamu'alaikum." said Arka politely, and saw Mr. Hanjaya's weak body helplessly on his bed
"Wa-lai-kum-sa-lam." replied Hanjaya stammeringly and laboriously
"Sir.." greeted Arka with a gentle touch on the weak wrinkled hand
"Hello Mr. Arka." said Hanjaya with difficulty, greeting Arka with the biggest smile on his face.
"Reply healed sir, because the master company with us is working together." said Arka told the good news
"Oh yeah? Why would you want to help me?" hanjaya asked in disbelief
"Well.. I don't understand with Risa.." suddenly said Mr. Hanjaya after harshly breathing out.
"What's up, sir?" ask Arka curiously
"Risa went back outside the country, right? And leave me.. No longer minding me" Hanjaya said with a clear liquid flowing slowly down her cheek
Arka was silent for a moment, she remembered that Risa was in prison for her own actions, if Mr. Hanjaya knew it would make her worse and worse.
"I'll tell him to go home, you calm down." Suddenly Arka told Mr. Hanjaya
"God's Masya.. Thank you Mr. Arka... You're very kind." replied Hanjaya with a smile on her face.
"Sama-sama Sir.. Get well soon, your company will rise again, it will definitely need you" said Arka encouraging Mr. Hanjaya
Arka said goodbye to go home, after giving her spirit to master Hanjaya. Arka went back into her car with Joseph.
"Arkana is a very good young businessman, if I die he can definitely take care of everything to take over my company, unlike Risa.. Is he married to someone else? Ahh no way, never heard the news of the young businessman getting married. I'll just match up with Risa." said Mr. Hanjaya in his mind.
Arka has never held a wedding party that invites many people, was married to Zahra only Akad Nikah and ordinary thanksgiving that is very simple at the house of Zahra, of course not many colleagues know, because at that time Arka was busy with his lectures, then returned to Indonesia faced again with another busyness. Makes it impossible to hold a wedding reception party.

Housebound
As usual, Anjani is addicted to coming to visit Zahra's house. Now under the pretext of having a new recipe to try.
Of course, Zahra wanted to, because she had not been out of the house since the kidnapping incident, the trauma that still existed and Arka who had not allowed it as well, making Zahra does need friends to stay at home.
Anjani brought the ingredients for the recipe that he would try with Zahra.
Anjani always comes after school because he finished teaching.
Zahra then invited Anjani to cook in the kitchen as usual, while Nisa more often relax by reading her small Qur'an or listening to murotal from the radio.
As usual Anjani and Zahra are very familiar, making the two always laugh together, reminisce about the past at school, and much more.
Before long the melted brownie cake recipe they made was finished. Zahra then served her mother-in-law who was sitting on the porch of the backyard. While Zahra and Anjani will enjoy it in the garden behind the house close to the swimming pool.
Anjani and Zahra tell each other stories, including her marriage to Arka.
"Kok you can get to know Arka? " ask Anjani who does not know the original story
"Mas Arka was Abi's son, so my mother-in-law was Abi's college friend.. That's it" Zahra replied with her innocent face
"Oh, you know you're married.. But at that time I did not come so do not know who you are married to" Anjani said after swallowing a mouthful of cake
"Yes, since Mas Arka and I were only Taaruf, that was only for a moment. Mas Arka had to return to England, so the taaruf did not communicate too often" Zahra told him
"Oh that's it." Anjani replied while nodding her head
"Then what about you, don't you want to get married?" zahra asked with a little joke
"Wind me, but until now there has been no man who invites me to taaruf.." said Anjani with a sad tone
"You've always fared better than me, during school days you've always excelled in making you up, while I'm forgotten, now you're married to the handsome man of a young businessman too, he said, while I.." continued Anjani with a sad face, and speech that stopped
"You don't talk that way" said Zahra and hugged Anjani
"Honestly, I like your husband." said Anjani slowly
As Zahra fell silent, she let go of her embrace from her friend's body slowly. Zahra was so shocked to hear the confessions of her best friend, her eyes were round as if she did not believe what Anjani said, with great difficulty she tried to swallow her saliva.
"But.why my husband?" ask Zahra not to believe it
"You take it easy, since I've never taken all of yours, have you? I'm just revealing it." Anjani replied with a faint smile on her face
Zahra was still silent, to be honest, she felt bad about the expression of her best friend's feelings.
"May your soul mate better everything than Mas Arka, yaa" said Zahra praying
"Aamiya.. God willing" Anjani replied with a smile
Anjani then went home because of the afternoon, Anjani who hoped to meet Arka did not meet. While walking out of the house he saw the car of his best friend's husband was parked.
"Sir Arka's home yet? Why don't we meet inside." said Anjani inwardly while walking out the gate because the online taxi he ordered had arrived
Zahra went back inside, in fact she did not know that her husband had come home, because she was cool with his best friend. Zahra then searched Arka into the room, and sure enough Arka was already in the room.
"Mas's home, how come I don't know?" zahra asked while kissing the back of her husband's hand
"Happy.. From tomorrow Anjani do not play here again yaaaa." said Arka firmly
Zahra was shocked by her husband's behavior. Yesterday when meeting Anjani her husband was normal, even allowing Anjani to play often, but now forbid it
"What is it about Mas?" asked Zahra not understand
Arka was still silent, she was opening her shoes.
