GROANS OF DESTINY

S2 - CHAPTER 6

The longing smile that I cast through the shahdu in the silent deck

A heart that still chooses to stop at loved ones that I have always loved

Our story is not just about material

this is not a drama that is autodidacted

But this is life...

Which we want to feel its true comfort

Riani smilingly looked at Aisyah who was carrying a box wrapped in wrapping paper for her.

"Happy Birthday brother..do not get bored to return to our house, do not get tired of always renting with Shah" said Aisyah while thrusting the gift to Riani.

Riani was moved to see the people she loved gathered in that one room to surprise Riani, even Manquer Pamela, Chloe and Enne came all the way to Indonesia to surprise Riani, not spared the most loved person Riani is now standing right next to him while carrying a cake with candles in the form of numbers 25.

Riani blew out the candle on the cake to extinguish the fire that was swaying at the top of the candle earlier.

Riani gave the first bribe to her husband, the second to her sister, and the next to her friends.

The door of the room opened again, there was a woman with a blue blazer that clearly showed the look of fatigue and bad breath on the woman.

His long unraveled hair looked messy with his bag of clothing that looked thick. The woman smiled at Riani while hugging Riani tightly "Happy Birthday Riani" said Serli.

Riani also returned Serli's embrace "long time no see" said Riani as she took off their arms.

At the age of exactly 25 years, is a celebration that will not be forgotten by Riani, because of the presence of friends far away, although not all who can come, because of the presence of his friends, but Riani is grateful to still be able to establish good friendship with friends and some neighbors near her home who attended.

When the moon was still standing firmly at 02.48 Indonesia time, right when people were still sleeping soundly with a million beautiful dreams, and not a few with hard anointing that was thrown. Riani was even raging happily with a surprise from her family and friends.

After the celebration, the neighbors returned to their homes, including Auntie and Om Riani and cousins Riani and sister Kirana. Manquer Pamela, Enne, Chloe, and Serli are fast asleep in the middle room of the house. Unlike Violette who is still standing outside the door of the house by still putting HP beside her ear and a face that looks happy to contact the person behind the phone.

Riani stepped slowly towards Violette "rest first" said Riani who begged Viloette as she stepped back inside the house.

Violette hung up after saying goodbye to the person across the phone who was most likely Iven. Violette stepped back into the house.

"I have prepared a room for you" said Riani who saw Violette look glanced at the sofas filled with Manquer Pamela, Enne, Chloe, and serli.

"I'm not here" Violette said.

"No, I know you've been tired since you got to Holland, I actually couldn't bear to see them sleeping outside like this, but I couldn't bear to build them up" Riani explained.

Violette cuddled and stepped into Riani's designated room. After finishing enveloping the 4 women, Riani locked the door of the house and walked back to her room.

Since the neighbors had already returned home to each other, Aisyah and Andi who had been legal as a married couple went straight to their room to Rest. Riani opened the door of her room slowly and found Albern who had fallen asleep.

Riani glanced at the wall clock in her room which had shown at 03:27, Riani chose to clean her body first and then read the Qur'an while waiting for the Dawn.

At 06:00, Serli said goodbye to immediately return to his apartment immediately because he had to prepare before leaving for work. Aisyah was helped by Andi preparing breakfast for them.

After finishing the congregational dawn prayers at home, they all went back to sleep, in contrast to Aisyah and Andi who prepared breakfast.

Enne yawns hard to wake up Chloe and Manquer Pamela who are still soundly asleep on the sofa. They cleaned up after seeing the breakfast served by Aisyah and Andi.

Albern wrapped his hands around Riani's waist where the two of them were still sound asleep. Riani wiped her eyes and immediately sat down from her lying position.

Tring...

Riani reached out to Albern's phone opposite her desk, and there was a call from Carlson Darius.

"What's Sir Carlson calling for?" muttered Riani astonished.

"Who's dear?" tanya Albern who mengangetkan Riani.

"You're awake? there's a call coming in from sir Carlson" Riani replied.

"Reject only" Albern replied as he pulled Riani's hand back to sleep in his arms.

"Ta. but-" said Riani anxiously before she actually went into Albern's arms.

"It wasn't important, he just wanted to ask Pamela through me" Albern said.

Tok...

Albern hissed at the sound of the door "who else would dare to interrupt my break with my wife!?" mumbling Albern looked annoyed.

"Here you go, let me open it" Riani said as she got out of bed.

Albern swiftly returned to pull Riani's hand "me alone" said Albern as he stepped to open the door of the room.

Andi was standing at the door of the room with a smile as bright as the morning sun she emitted.

"It's time for breakfast" Andi told Albern.

With forced Albern to add his smile to Andi "you guys go first"

Andi nagged "alright, sorry to interrupt her time sis" Andi said as she walked away from the room.

Fortunately I opened the door, was there a man who smiled that smile? thought Albern was back in bed.

"Who?" ask Riani.

"Your parents made breakfast" Albern replied.

Riani simply fell silent and nodded understandingly as she stepped out.

"Where?" wonder Albern.

Riani pointed towards the dining room "breakfast" Riani replied.

"Don't" continued Albern.

"Why?" tanya Riani looked confused.

"I told him first, I want to be with you first" said Albern as he walked closer to Riani and brought her face closer to Riani's face.

"I was planning on doing it last night, but I fell asleep, so as a return gift from you, you should serve for a while" Albern whispered to Riani.

Riani held back the lips of Albern who was about to kiss Riani with the palm of Riani's hand "not this morning" Riani said as she immediately stepped away quickly leaving the room with her face expression that looked flushed.

Albern smiled at his wife's runaway "It's been a year since our marriage, and you're still shy dear." murmured Albern.
